      Niegel Ligon Jr. I don't remember anyone arguing that LeBron should've won MVP over Curry. In 2015 it was between Harden and Curry then in 2016 Curry ran away with it. Like I said, Kobe may have carried LA and balled but he didn't have a better season than LeBron in anyway. Not to mention LeBron finished 2nd in DPOY and was 1 vote from winning MVP unanimously. That 1 vote was for Melo... not Kobe.

    What's even more crazy is that if Kobe never suffered the Achilles at the level he was still playing at & the rate in which he was scoring at Kobe could have easily retired as the All time leading scorer in NBA history as well as the All time Playoffs Scorer & All time All star game scorer to put things in prespective Kobe Bryant would have been the gold standard for NBA scoring at every level. Kobe Bryant in my opinion is highly underrated he without a doubt deserves to be Top 5 All Time.

    • @jamridd14
      @jamridd14 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Lebron will retire as a top 3 player in NBA history but I’d say Kobe was a better player skill wise. They both have high IQs and for Kobe’s size, he played bigger than 6’6, 200-210 lbs. Lebron is a beast too but most of that is because no one else in the NBA has that type of body. He plays on the perimeter and he’s 6’8 250-280 lbs. I never heard of another perimeter player being that big and strong. Lebron can get to the rim an any point. But I feel like if Kobe was that big, he’d use that size better than Lebron. Kobe totally evolved into another player when he got into his late 20s and 30s by developing one of the best mid range jumpshots we’ve ever seen, developing a post game, and he had a decent 3 point game. When playing against Lebron, you want to make him shoot. Now when Lebron is mad, and he is making his jumpshots, you night as well call it a night cause he’s going to destroy you. But that’s not something you have to consistently worry about. Lebrons a beast but give Kobe his size and strength but with Kobe’s drive, we’ll be saying Kobe’s the King

      Kobe could average 7-8 assists a game if he wanted too, he has that kinda IQ/feel for the game, the problem is he rather take ridiculous shots. And I love Kobe, I'm just being honest.

    • @KimarKurosaski
      @KimarKurosaski 7 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Josh Lopez I agree but I think it's more of him being supremely confident in himself and not so much in his teammates who he feels don't put in the same kind of work on their game like he does. We can say that's his weakness overall as a team basketball player but doing it his way got him as many rings as the best overall team if the last 20 years in the Spurs.

    This season was legitimately legendary. I feel so blessed to have seen him in person when he had his triple double against Dallas on 4-2-13.... only 2 weeks later his achilles popped. I watched every game that year. I've never seen a guy will his team night after night like he did. It solidified him in my mind as a permanent top 10 player, to do that at his age. And he will always be my favorite, regardless of what haters wanna say. Very few guys have ever had the heart he did, much less combined with such incredible all-around skill.

    Looking at those numbers, I wouldn't even say Jordan was better at age 34. Kobe's numbers were just better. Sure MJ had 1.4 more points and 1.9 less turnovers, but the big difference is Kobe averaged 2.5 more assists and shot 8.6% better from the 3, so I'd give the slight edge to Kobe. Best age 34 season of all time and I never forget this one it is one of my all time favorite Kobe seasons (Right up there with '01-'03, '06 and '08-'10) despite the fact that it ended in tragedy.

    • @facelessandnameless

      Anthony Dean Don’t forget about 2007. He entered the season after having had knee surgery that summer. He started slow not taking much shots and only averaging about 22 ppg for the first month...but ended the season averaging nearly 32. 2007 is the season Kobe had four straight 50 point games (two of which were 60+). And he had TEN 50 point games overall that season.

    I completely agree with everything being said in this video. I remember this season like it was yesterday. Kobe pretty much was single handedly willing the Lakers into the playoffs playing heavy minutes and playing through injuries to the point where his Achilles tore. It's a shame we didn't have a better coach at that time or at least a little more depth on the roster to reduce the burden on Kobe's shoulders. I truly believe that had the Lakers taken a Spurs approach with Kobe, he probably would still be playing today. All those accumulated minutes that season led to the injury that marked the end of it all

    Man your videos are flat out excellent. This by far the best put together Kobe video I've seen. As a spectator I went missing from the NBA after Jordan's second retirement &, as a one eyed Bulls fan, didn't return until the ascension of Rose. I really regret not seeing prime Kobe, Iverson, Carter, etc, but I also find it harder to understand the comparisons made between Kobe & Jordan because I didn't see enough of him actually playing. This video demonstrates the guys greatness far more than any highlights reel video can. It's clear he had the mental toughness & desire that Jordan was famous for & LeBron so infamously lacks. And to see how he just gave it his all right up to everything breaking, man, what can I say? Prior to this vid I held the impression that Kobe was a top 10 all time player, probably not as talented overall as Le Bron, & that GOAT conversations around him were a bit far fetched. I'm reconsidering his status in my eyes altogether now. Thanks. 👍🏻

    His age 34 season, you're not giving it enough justice simply by showing people his age. You need to also compare it to players during their 17th season to truly give that season its full appreciation. Yeah, Jordan put up bigger scoring numbers at age 34 but that wasn't during his 17th season. When you compare Kobes 17th season to any other players 17th season..well, lets just say its not even close, he blows absolutely everyone out the water.

And I was a hater for a long time. Not a today's era twitter hater, I always respected the man, but I was a Celtics fan. But the greatness that Kobe had was unmatched, just because of that mentality. He was always in Jordan's shadow, but always rose up to reach the unreachable. Love that dude.

    I've watched Kobe whole career from day one, and I feel that he was robbed of the MVP in the 05-06 season. Which was his best to me. To make it as far as the Lakers did that season with the team that he had was incredible. The 62 points in just 3 quarters against the team with the best record in the NBA (Mavs). And a month later the 81 points vs the Raptors. Dude was ridiculous that season!

    • @shaft9000
      @shaft9000 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      How about 2003 and the 9 straight 40+ games, right after his first daughter was born.... . . In EVERY game for a solid month, he'd dribble once or twice over halfcourt, pull up and drain a three with that same back-of-the-iron 'pop' that was his signature. He'd open the game with 5+ casual threes in the 1st quarter every damn game!
      I had a ten game mini season-ticket pack (i think it was the year after the 40+ streak) and one of the games was the 65 vs Portland in OT. I've never been to any playoff fame or concert (or whatever else) before or since where everyone in attendance was gasping in disbelief and losing their proverbial shit over and over and over.

    Kobe is the GOAT, he carried a mediocre team to the promised land twice in a row past his prime. And he carried an even worse team to the playoffs at age 34 despite injuries. If David stern allowed the cp3 trade to happen Kobe wouldn’t have gotten injured and would’ve won his 6th ring and maybe even a 7th, placing himself as the all-time leading scorer and the GOAT.

      here here
      Fro'bean#8 in the 2001 playoffs was the first (and my personal favorite) in a loooooong series of Kobegasms:
      WCSF closes out Sac on the road in a sweep with 45pts & 17reb in game 4.
      Then in the very next game he proceeds to shred apart and dunk repeatedly over both Twin Towers in game 1 of WCF on the road in San Antonio for 48pts ...inspiring Shaq to publicly appraise Kobe as the best player in the league - this dude, i mean KID, who has only very recently learned how to legally buy a beer(!). And then he'd STAY The Best Player - beyond any reasonable shadow of a doubt - for another ten years solid.
      And do it in the Western Conference during TWO extremely heavy eras; each era overflowing with future HoFs. Anyone that watched only a single NBA game a week in those years knows what that I'm saying is correct, and not an exaggeration in the least.
      (I recorded several games from both series to VHS from the original broadcast and have watched each of them at least 10 time . It never gets old! :)
      Those two series felt like the whole team was throwing a spontaneous never-ending party - while doing it at the opposition's home court, all at the Kings' and Spurs' expense. lulz.
