It’s just the fact that he doesn’t do it often. Game winners like this are my favorite from Bron cause he’s not settling for a step back 3. This is why being a great 1v1 player matters. Kobe was best at it imo but when Bron decides to work for a shot he’s unstoppable.
Why does everyone have to hate, can’t we just enjoy the two best basketball players of the last 15 years going at it. if you love basketball you love Kobe. if you love basketball you love LeBron.

Lol Kobe was going to take a bad shot whether someone played good defense on him or not. Kobe simply was a bad shot taker. That’s why people loved him, because he simply made a lot of those shots. But that’s also why he was slightly less efficient than players today like Kawhi, Demar Derozan, and Jimmy Butler, etc.

A glaring recurring theme in these matchups during Kobe's prime is the Lakers defense blowing leads in the 4th quarter due to a lapse of defensive effort by the team. Mike Brown was integral in the Cavs having a good defense. Kobe could be on fire but the team couldn't hold defensively this is also the reason in 2006 playoffs vs the Suns why the Lakers blew that series. Having guys like Ariza, Artest, and healthy Bynum, Gasol, and an overall commitment to that side of the ball later on would spearhead the Lakers to 3 straight NBA Finals appearances.
So you’re essentially saying Kobe’s supporting cast wasn’t good enough, despite the fact that Lebron’s supporting cast around this same time was WORSE? huh
They are BOTH Great players but they're Completely different! Kobe is an offensive assassin. Just a downright Killer! LeBron is a physical freak with some of the greatest Team skills I've seen since Magic Johnson. It definitely doesn't hurt that LeBron has improved his Jump shot as well as his overall offensive game. Kobe has a prettier game while LeBron's game is much more physical.

Just a thought if LeBron would had played with Shaq in his prime on those lakers I say at least 5 to 8 titles because LeBron is a team player and wouldn't run shaq out of town just a thought and put kobe on those cavs just something to think about out....
And you can't say that. Kobe's job is to be the scorer, LeBron is more of a facilitator. Both men are the best at theyre role and I wish people would just respect that.
Damn lebron lowkey owned kobe in this game. But this aint prime kobe anyway kobes prime was 2003 - 2007. But then kobe got lebron back in 2009 season by hitting that fade away in lebrons face and winning a ring
***** Kobe is better overall career wise cuz he had way more finesse, a better on-ball defender,& was never afraid of big moments. Lebron is amazing but the the thing he doesn't have that Michael Jordan & Kobe had was finesse. Lebron has rules & refs to his advantage. It seems like in todays game when pple attack the rim & if u block a shot outside the "restricted area". the restricted area works the LeBrons advantage because whenever he attacks the rim it allows them to power his way to like a full back at will and if you're standing in the restricted area u gotta move out his way. the rule takes away the defensive strategy of the game. it didn't exist when Michael Jordan was playing. Kobe has more finesse than Lebron & much better shooting mechanics than Lebron

No he was not a better defender than Jordan. Jordan was faster, stronger, bigger hands, had equal if not slightly better defensive footwork and more tenacious.
Kobe is an all time great but you can just see here that Lebron is on another level than Kobe, even at this young age. Lebron is the GOAT and it's not even close. Just watch these games where he dominates one of the all time greats to ever play. He would have done the same to Jordan.

idolized?its called respect. lebron still respects kobe
lol i know you would say that. from the 5 interviews of lebron. lebron always say " ic ant find a word to describe his greatness the best player on the planet. I ALWAYS watch HIM everytime im not playing. so many great players but kobe was the resilient one.
Kobe is mainly a scorer, Lebron is a playmaker and can also be a great scorer at times too.
Just a thought if LeBron would had played with Shaq in his prime on those lakers I say at least 5 to 8 titles because LeBron is a team player and wouldn't run shaq out of town just a thought and put kobe on those cavs just something to think about out....
Are u slow ?? Shaq ran himself out 🤣🤣 he said it himself .. he was lazy n not tryna keep in shape dummy
And you can't say that. Kobe's job is to be the scorer, LeBron is more of a facilitator. Both men are the best at theyre role and I wish people would just respect that.
that was the time when lbj was actually enjoying basketball to me....
LBJ is the GOAT!
The last possession of the game is why Kobe takes the shots he takes
❤️the Kobe and LeBron match up’s 💯🔥2 great players…….
The 4 time MVP, Season PER record setter, and 2 time champion needs to improve his skills?... Yeah, right.
Bron gave Kobe that Akron work, looking like the 🐐
right. you just prove developing lebron is better than prime time kobe
The King !
Back when LeBron was a killer
next beast upload!! kobe outplayed by the king, the usual.
This year Lebron was the real MVP
Lebron should be MVP in 2008 while Kobe should be MVP in 2009
Ouch. I hate it when that happens. Poor Varejao

Rip#8💯 lebron J. Tha Tru ‼️ 2 🐐's
Damn lebron lowkey owned kobe in this game. But this aint prime kobe anyway kobes prime was 2003 - 2007. But then kobe got lebron back in 2009 season by hitting that fade away in lebrons face and winning a ring
This is definitely prime Kobe, he just didn’t go off in scoring because he had a better team at that point.
WHAT LOL 2006-2010 is Prime Kobe.
***** Kobe is better overall career wise cuz he had way more finesse, a better on-ball defender,& was never afraid of big moments. Lebron is amazing but the the thing he doesn't have that Michael Jordan & Kobe had was finesse. Lebron has rules & refs to his advantage. It seems like in todays game when pple attack the rim & if u block a shot outside the "restricted area".
the restricted area works the LeBrons advantage because whenever he attacks the rim it allows them to power his way to like a full back at will and if you're standing in the restricted area u gotta move out his way. the rule takes away the defensive strategy of the game.
it didn't exist when Michael Jordan was playing. Kobe has more finesse than Lebron & much better shooting mechanics than Lebron
😂😂😂😂 bunch of nonsense
Your right
@@tradishawatkins7333 He really just typed a bunch of nothing 😂"lEbRoN dOeSn'T hAvE fInEsSe liKe KoBe oR mJ" yet he's all time in points, top 4 in assist all time, came back 3-1 vs the warriors, is a far better defender, scorer, playmaker, rebounder and overall basketball player then kobe. But because kobe has a few moves that "look" better all of sudden bron doesn't have finesse to his game shi is hilarious
@@brandontownsend3987 I thought you kobe/mj fan gays would've grown some sense by now but 9 years later still as delusional as ever
@@impacc4182I notice alotta insecure men throw around the word gay. Might be some self hatred going on. And I wasn't even in the Convo, but real ones don't even throw around the word gay. At least not any authentic negros like myself. Lmao! Take care,I'm just joshing wit you
King goat 🐐🐐🐐
hahahahahahah if kobe is so skilled why is he a career 45% shooter and missed 2000 more shots than made
That was some match up. Great game! 🎉🎉
Only one king, and his name is King James.
Vintage James!!!
LMFAO KOBE was heated at the end
😂 facts that walk off said it all
He had trash g league teammates no shit
2 goats
My Jesus rosters on both team is fuckin horrible lmaooo kobe and lebron is greatness personified , their both the greatest in what they do
lebron said damnnn after kobe dunked at 4:31😂😂😂😂😂
That was a Prime Kobe wow
LEBRON JAMES💥👏👏👏
Luke Walton and Ronnie Turiaf 😅, what a lineup
If Kobe couldn’t guard Lebron what make anybody in they right mind think MJ could Lmao and Kobe was a better defender than Mike 💯
No he was not a better defender than Jordan. Jordan was faster, stronger, bigger hands, had equal if not slightly better defensive footwork and more tenacious.
1:49 - 1:52 wht A really powerfull DASH and layup!
Too big , too fast , too strong .. Momma there goes that man..
Fisher is a role player, Odom was decent and Pau Gasol was acquired mid season in a trade with Kwame Brown. Know your shit.
Kobe is an all time great but you can just see here that Lebron is on another level than Kobe, even at this young age. Lebron is the GOAT and it's not even close. Just watch these games where he dominates one of the all time greats to ever play. He would have done the same to Jordan.
I was waiting for MJs name to be besmirched.Kobe was not MJ.But I wish all three were in the exact same era. WOW!
