kobe 2013 at 34/35 years old, had one of the greatest individual seasons i have ever been able to see. dont let the stats fool u either, he was still the best player in the league. RIP to one of my heros
@@ShadV24 guarding prime points guards and shutting them down, playing 40 minutes a night, dragging a 7 percent chance playoff team in February to the 7TH SEED... I cherish that last season so much.
My favorite season of watching all his skills combined... hard seeming him lose, bad coaching, injuries other players, but how he was a true determined Warrior to will them to where he knew they should be. Just touching and inspiring!! My favorite season of his. RIP Mamba
true but LeBron that year was just on another planet... dude had like a whole month where he shot like 60% from the field. He also was the leader of a 27 game win streak that year also.
This run in 2012-13 season, after ASG break, was literally amazing. At 34 he made, in terms of athletic brightness, two months like he was 21. He simply turned back the clock. And the #vino thing started. Look at his vertical and his quickness. He seemed to be the youngest player on the floor. Insane for his age and career kilometers back then. This speaks for his work ethic. In terms of talents and skills there's nothing to say, we're simply speaking of the most gifted offensive player ever graced this world.
I’m in tears crying , when Kobe got heated up, I instantly cried I got shivers .. this man was my idol since I was 10 .. this is the most hurt thing I’ve experienced .. Kobe not being here . I still can’t get over it
@@user-su3fk3qv3g koby modeled his entire game after micheal jordan, the only difference is kobe was abetter shooter from the 3point line Micheal didn't take as many 3 point shots as kobe but Micheal Jordan's mid range game was off the charts, but all the other moves an dunks kobe does expecually that fade away shot kobe mastered Michael Jordan was doing all that before koby even got in the league, kobe is pretty much a clone of Micheal Jordan, so I can see why he is your favorite player take micheal jordan out of the equation koby is my favorite player to.
This was my first and last time ever seeing Kobe play live. Truly a memory I will never forget. RIP to my favorite basketball player and one of my favorite people of all time: Kobe Bean Bryant.
At his 30s at the 4th qtr playing heavy minutes coz they’re still out of playoffs back then. Truly entertained by his push that year, a shame it tore his Achilles.
Kobe Bryant is just greatness. Kobe Bryant the best all-time! and i seen a lot of player's come and go. Kobe please dont retire anytime soon. your my role model man. KB 24 for life!
yeah it is, though I think Steph has some really great footwork as well but nothing on the level of MJ, Kobe, and Hakeem when it comes to that aspect of his game.
Holy fuck, without those horrible injuries the last three years he was still so dominant. 27 6 & 6 his last two healthy years. God how quickly people forget how amazing he was
xBassel92x while this maybe true since he's suffered two career threatening/ending injuries, this is Kobe we're talking about (the only guy in this era and ever who's comparable to Jordan). He's played with broken fingers, injured wrists, stomach illnesses, and the flu and won games when in the mamba zone. The guy is RELENTLESS literally like obsessed with the game and has made a career out of beating Jordan. Though he may never reach his prime level like from 2003-2008, he'll still be doing great. His competitive level is off the charts. He'll be coming back.
OVER AND OVER AGAIN with EACH SEASON I see more and more proof that Kobe IS actually better than MJ! And STILL people don't admit this FACT! Do they even watch him play or they just look at playoff standings? It's DEFINITELY not Kobe's fault that lakers suck right now. I mean look at that! OPEN YOUR FUCKIN EYES FOR A MOMENT AND LOOK AT THAT!!! MJ didn't do that at 34! He got OLD and Kobe is getting younger! The shit is AMAZING! 90's bulls were better than these lakers, but 24 is better than 23!
It’s crazy what this guy could do at age 34 coming off multiple tough ass injuries from the previous 3 seasons to that point. He seemed much slower this season but god damn he was still a beast
Kobe just has a more watchable game; dunks, threes, up and downs, midrange Js, and fade-aways...Steph Curry on the other hand is just completely ridiculous raining threes on everybody...
Call me crazy . But if Kobe never got injured that year, I think they would have beat Spurs in 1st round and I really believe he was on such a mission that year, that they could have won it all .
Lmaoo it's evident that when people can't think of anything nice to say about a person they bring up ugly and untrue shxt from the past. Goes to show ppl will talk whether you're doing bad or good. But this is GREATNESS! The hate motivates him, keep it coming! Kobe B Bryant =GOAT aka greatest of all time! Ijs
I love lebron but Kobe is on another level clearly more skilled on offense the lebron and Michael Jordan he's a lot more deadly when it comes down to shooting he got a post game he's all around too Michael has the better defense but on a offense level I think Kobe is a better score clearly Kobe take shots in crucial moment's lebron would pass the ball I was at the Lakers game against Toronto when he made those three 3 pointers in a row it's unreal just to see someone shift the whole game and take responsibility like that and say the game ends when I say so is ridiculous people really don't understand how great Kobe Bryant is
you kidding me.. smith body push them from behind.. clearly messed up kobe take off, fortunately kobe had good body control, so that he's not landing awkwardly
Lol you know all the stats huh? So you're saying you'll gladly call Kobe the GOAT when you know that Jordan averaged 44ppg in the 1993 finals, and that while kobe has averaged around 5 playoffs with an average of at least 30ppg, when michael has averaged it 13 out of his 13 playoff appearances... wow lol
Man that dunk over smith....goodness
Dom whats good Dom
in his 17th year
kobe 2013 at 34/35 years old, had one of the greatest individual seasons i have ever been able to see. dont let the stats fool u either, he was still the best player in the league. RIP to one of my heros

Kobe should've got MVP, he got them into playoffs by himself literally.
U act like Dwight wasn't averaging 20-10 and playing defense and setting all them picks for Kobe
He was doing all that while hurt
@@feyansabbah he wasn’t averaging 20-10 he was averaging 17-12.

R.I.P Kobe. The fucking best to ever do it!! My Fav player
2022 I’m still here watching this incredible player, my man, MAMBA, R.I.P.
2:20 that reaction he did after the shot...man I miss those times when lakers weren’t really a soft team. Kobe took shit from nobody. Miss that guy
Goat most skilled ever haters need to learn something
That dunk was sick
At his 30s at the 4th qtr playing heavy minutes coz they’re still out of playoffs back then. Truly entertained by his push that year, a shame it tore his Achilles.
The difference between Jordan and kobe is that there was nobody to guard jordan back then
kobe is a beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kobe Bryant is just greatness. Kobe Bryant the best all-time! and i seen a lot of player's come and go. Kobe please dont retire anytime soon. your my role model man. KB 24 for life!
I miss my dawg!! Rip kobe
seeing this makes me sad because idk if we'll ever see kobe this athletic again
You were right :/ Lol
Well he is like 36-37 so of course not
+reniesha johnson He was 34 in this game though... if he hadn't ttorn his achilles, he may still be as lethal. It's just injuries. Damn injuries :(
Hey, at least he went out in style.
Woulda won the champ that year . If it wasn't for Achilles ... he was on a last mission that' year . The league got lucky .
Maqorri_Wild92 ikr 💔😢
Kobe wins mvp of no injury
Footwork is dead, now we're in the three point era. Boo
yeah it is, though I think Steph has some really great footwork as well but nothing on the level of MJ, Kobe, and Hakeem when it comes to that aspect of his game.
kyrie and steph got that footwork.
they got handles it's different.
nah bro. ur wrong. they got both. lol
ESPECIALLY kyrie. his footwork is top 3 in the league and he's at the PG posititon
I wish I could find the full game for this. Such a great game, I miss being able to watch him play.
Momma there goes that man!
We were spoiled here in Los Angeles. Thiis was the norm. LONG LIVE KOBE!
I look at Kobe and just still can not believe he is ............ will always love and appreciate what God blessed us with!!!!!
Kobe is a Basketball God!! Go Lakers sincerely a Die hard Lakers fan!!
Holy fuck, without those horrible injuries the last three years he was still so dominant. 27 6 & 6 his last two healthy years. God how quickly people forget how amazing he was
When Kobe gets hot, wins the game, that men just real terminator, Black Mamba
Damn injuries and fathertime :( can't belive he was like that just 2 years ago and now he will never be like this...
Don't count him out. I bet he will be close to this level for 2015-2016!
geniuspianist720 true!
geniuspianist720 i agree and i'm sure he will improve his game a lot over the summer

3:49 Kobe not even asking for a foul, compared to these so called superstars. I keep coming back watching his games to see GREATNESS
OVER AND OVER AGAIN with EACH SEASON I see more and more proof that Kobe IS actually better than MJ! And STILL people don't admit this FACT! Do they even watch him play or they just look at playoff standings? It's DEFINITELY not Kobe's fault that lakers suck right now. I mean look at that!

how quickly they forgot.
who forget? LOL pls name them
Maybe someone like this?
Terrence Starkey
Footwork is dead, now we're in the three point era. Boo
Chen Justin 3 point shot is alive and stop calling me Boo, you're embarrassing me...
How can people forget when all people do is blabber on and on about him and constantly overrate him?
Kobe was a fuckn monster best I ever seen and I seen em all
Wow that dunk! How he is still able with no strings attached! Beast mode. Witnessing greatness.
The MVP You are Heoe for ever Kobe..... L love my Brtoher
17th season in the league but still torching those young guns averaging 27ppg that season
It’s crazy what this guy could do at age 34 coming off multiple tough ass injuries from the previous 3 seasons to that point. He seemed much slower this season but god damn he was still a beast
Man, still best skill in NBA at this age, amazing! Dedication! LBJ is great but i still prefer Kobes game.
Crowd back then was so much better than the crowd today
Electrifying⚡🔥🔥
Kobe kobe kobe kobe kobe
Kobe just has a more watchable game; dunks, threes, up and downs, midrange Js, and fade-aways...Steph Curry on the other hand is just completely ridiculous raining threes on everybody...
Agree .
Kobe had a sick crossover
Kobe 😢
Kobe Kobe Kobe Kobe Kobe Kobe a kobe
Vino should write a book on footwork. It's amazing to watch. Only Kobe can make drool look badass. LOL
Kobe is the best bball player ever
Kobe kobe kobe
well, thats what the best player in the world does
truuuuuuuu
Kobe kobe
R.I.P KOBE
it is the lakers local network that broadcast's these games..
This game alone is enough for a lebron’s season highlights.
2013 Kobe 8 systems Workin best basketball shoes
Poor Josh Smith. Buddy got manhandled by Kob all game. Dunk was absolutely nasty!
Kobe
R.I.P.
he may not be ambidextrous but damn he uses his off hand so well same as his dominant hand
Lebron is not the only player that got busy on there 17th year
Look at kobe hating teammates not having any reactions to shots being made
2:26 That saliva though :D
😂😂😂
That's call the mamba venom
+Chi - RaQ W
Chi - RaQ w
Alexander John Enopia yeah.
Call me crazy . But if Kobe never got injured that year, I think they would have beat Spurs in 1st round and I really believe he was on such a mission that year, that they could have won it all .

Only real mamba spit venom😂
if kobe didnt got injured that year they had a chance
Refs get so into Kobe’s style they forget to call fouls
Can’t game plan for MJ or Kobe but you can game plan 4 Lebron
Great dunk, but would have been easy to pass off to Dwight Howard as he'd boxed out his defender.
It's not giving props to the greatest because there's a lot of stats that people ignore about MJ
kobe went ham on dem boys ....lol
kobe had a long drip of spit on 2:26
That was Derrick Rose elevation! it came out of nowhere!
2:26 Kobe has spit on his chin 🤤😂
That's his venom
Spitting cobra
tumulo laway ni kobe 2:26 hahaha dami ko tawa
Omg
2:26 MAD DROOL
At 2:18
Watch how Meeks (number 20) just knows Kobe is going to make it and starts walking down court lol
lol, I thought only I saw that.
he overworked and the achilles broke down
Josh Smith either hates Kobe or is amzed by him. He cooks him lol
Can't wait to see LeChoke at 35!
This didn't age well.
1:51kobe walked five steps
That dunk should've been a and 1.
Just wondering... Did they purposely match Josh Smith up with Kobe?
2012-2013 Kobe Bryant > Kobe Bryant
lol watch the spit come out after he hits the buzzer beater and the end of the 3rd
could've been an and one!??? Smith didn't even touch him
body contact
you kidding me.. smith body push them from behind.. clearly messed up kobe take off, fortunately kobe had good body control, so that he's not landing awkwardly
Smith go to the lakers!!
Notice that Kobe hits his chest too hard he spit at 2:26 xD
2:26 straight rabid
Josh Smith lost his soul that night.
2:26 Saliva.
3:05
Drool? Where have you seen drool? That's venom.
12 out of 13*
Na, he started walking down as it was end of the quarter so he was going to the bench.
Lol you know all the stats huh? So you're saying you'll gladly call Kobe the GOAT when you know that Jordan averaged 44ppg in the 1993 finals, and that while kobe has averaged around 5 playoffs with an average of at least 30ppg, when michael has averaged it 13 out of his 13 playoff appearances... wow lol
