2009 Western Conference Semifinals Game 2, May 6, 2009 | Very entertaining and physical game between the Lakers and Rockets with the stakes very high. Kobe was on a mission to keep the Lakers from facing a disastrous 0-2 series deficit against the 5th seeded underdog. He came out gunning, dropping 15 points in the first quarter. In a game that featured Luis Scola being wiped out by Derek Fisher and Ron Artest being ejected after getting in Kobe's face over an apparent elbow to the neck, KB wouldn't be sidetracked from the task at hand. He totaled an ultra-efficient 40 points on 27 shots, doing most of his damage against the likes of Shane Battier. The rest of the Lakers would follow Kobe's lead to a 111-98 win to even up the series going in to Houston.

It's a crime Kobe only has one MVP...Absolutely fucking ridiculous.
cuz he cannot deliver like this in some critical games, for example that final where he lost to celtics, he basically shot the lakers out of the game
nomooon what kind of reason is that? first of all, the MVP have NOTHING to do with the finals/playoffs. That would be the finals MVP and kobe didnt get it in 08 did he? And secondly, there are many players with multiple MVPs who had bad Finals/playoff performances or didnt even make it to the finals at all. U just made a pointless comment
MIchelKriz why does Kobe deserve more MVP awards? from whom should he take those awards? what years?
MIchelKriz and Shaq, the MOST PHYSICALLY DOMINATING center to ever grace NBA, has only ONE MVP...
nomooon
How about Kobes 02-03 season? 30-7-6 and 2 steals?
How about his 05-06 season? 35-5-5 not good enough because the team wasnt good enough.
How about the 06-07 season with 31-6-5?
the problem with MVPs is that its a team-award afterall, since only a player on a top3 team will win the award. So its not really individual output but about how many W a team has in combination with a top player.
And yes, it is quite shocking also that shaq only has one. MVPs are pretty flawed in terms of legacy.
Oh how much I miss watching The Mamba play. He was Michael for us 90's babies
Hawaii 808 well said
Never lied RIP Kobe Bryant
All.day.long.mamba.for.life.
No no I'm a 80 and he was a jordan to me as well
@@kingofkingz235 he was jordan for us who really love and believe in him
Man used to play thru five different injuries including a broken finger on his shooting hand because he didn’t wanna miss a ‘regular season game’ Kobe always used to say “fans pay their hard earned money to see me so unless I can’t walk I’m gonna play”
Kobe you made me truly believe thru hard work and dedication you can beat any odds against you
You will forever be my GOAT miss you
Mj said that g
No matter who said it I respect a real one. Don’t cheat the game or the fans
Man I’ll never forget that game Kobe went to the bench during a timeout to get his finger popped back in place & went right back in the game. That was motivating to me.
I really don’t get how todays people put LBJ over Kobe….
Reverse load management
I was at this game. Searched for it, finally found it. RIP Kobe. The next year Artest became a laker.
Artest: "if you can't beat em, join em"
That’s what influenced KD 😂
Drew Who that’s not why. “Anyone crazy enough to fuck with me is crazy enough to play with me.” - Kobe.
Yeah Right... What People do for likes now a days smh i guess i was at this game too
lil g why is that so hard to believe? U sound bitter for no reason
The nba owes kobe some mvps and some money because to watch this guy play was an art of work. He made and took the game seriously
REAL TALK
I'd give him one of Steve Nash's MVP's. How The Hell did Steve Nash get 2 MVP's???? John Stockton was Way better than Steve Nash and he won ZERO. Stockton, unlike Nash, took his team to the NBA FINALS TWICE!!!
TBH he doesn't get the credit because he literally patterned his game after Jordan's. Every move, every fake, every bit of his game including that killer mentality was literally all like Jordan and being that they played so close together in era it was like once Mike left Kobe just continued to be the next MJ
Especially when they don’t show his missed shots, a lot of players look incredible if you watch only the makes.
BIG FACTS!! 2005-2006 Kobe was robbed from MVP and they took his endorsements and etc and threw dirt on his name still til this day and they murdered em ..btw Kobe was goin to be the first Billionaire nba player ever smh #mambaforever
It's funny how People forgot how unstoppable Kobe Bryant was during his prime. Only Kobe could stop Kobe.
Dywane Carter no is not
Jonathan Burckin no is not
Jonathan Burckin no is not
Ken S these kids of this generation are watching lazy basketball
Ken S these generation are watching stupid and lazy basketball!no competition
There is nothing more beautiful than Kobe’s pull up jumper. Especially from the mid-range. Elite level of scoring.
This was a well-oiled starting 5. Pau’s swiftness, D-Fish’s dependability, Ariza’s cutting, and Lamar’s handles were perfect complements to Kobe. 💜💛🐐
th-cam.com/video/jpR15mgrdfU/w-d-xo.html LMFAOOO😭😭
It was a great team, it's unfortunate we couldn't see them against Houston with McGrady healthy, what an epic matchup that would've been McGrady vs Kobe.
@@icedmosquito109 tbh no one got to see tracy play healthy dude was always hurting such a shame too he was amazing
It's not true . I mean everybody is a fine player but this was Kobe , Pau (which is not the highest tier) and then like Kobe says 3 players that other teams didn't want . This was all Kobe. Kobe made them better. It wasn't a big 2 or big 3. Kobe went to three straight NBA finals all by himself. That's the truth.
@@tovadubi Not the truth. Kobe wasn’t getting out of the west without Pau Gosol and Odom (especially Pau).
This 2009 run was insane. Every team the Lakers faced were legitimate contenders
The fact kobe won as much as he did in the playoffs with such a strong western conference throughout his prime is why he is in the goat status conversation. Looking at his and Lebron's playoff records it's important to note just how much better kobe's competition was. Simply how many time's Kobe beat the great 21st century Spurs is enough reason
@@zroysum lebron will finally see how tough the west really is
Kobe was starving in 2009. He was gonna get his one way or another. If the cavs had made the finals instead of magic, well....let's just say it's reaaaaally fortunate for LBJ's legacy that they didn't.
Edit: Actually, during those 09 playoffs, I got the feeling that Celtics and Cavs both underperformed on purpose trying to DUCK Kobe and the Lakers. Everyone clearly saw the devil in Kobe's eyes that year, and neither Celts nor Cavs wanted anything to do with the Mamba. 1 of those 2 teams should have made the finals, not the Magic.....they let Dwight deal with the maniac that was Kobe Bryant.
@@varshneyabhay this aged well,kobe is my fav player of all time btw but dont dissrespect great players
Thats how u know hes one of the Greatest next to Mj all time. Kobe played against hard teams
Fuck, Poor Battier. He played Kobe to perfection, and Kobe made him look like a school kid.
Jay Stewart good defense better offense
That's the truth. Played his hardest but kobe made him look like a high schooler lol
🤦 man dude had some great defense 😂😂😂
Kobe and MJ made it looks easy. The footwork, jumpshot and intensity . It looks like art on the court. Man Kobe was the truth! Never blinked when it was time to play.
also AI, they are the 3 of the most entertaining to watch, the intensity, the heart.
One of my favorite Kobe games. RIP.
Im sitting here crying man😔 i remember this game like it was yesterday
I'm from Houston and Kobe murder us. He is the greatest player ever period! I would draft Kobe over Labron any day..
smart man!
Who wouldn’t ?
lmao at that intro to validate your statements bwahah
Um, yeah, okay... Jordan over Kobe any day, every day, twice on Sunday! Real talk, biotches. Don’t be delusional. The original is almost always better, even though sequels often get overhyped, and in this case the original is hands down superior.
I am a Laker fan and I have seen both. Kobe over Lebron.
Battier had great defense. Basically blocking his vision. Kobe is just a hyper lethal weapon on the offense.
Carmelo also does the same thing when guarding kobe.. blocking his vision but kobe still gets em buckets.
Yah Shane was doing about as well as you can ask of him but it just didn’t matter when Kobe was playing like this
The defense on Kobe was otherwordly. Ive never seen a literal hand in a face
does that even do much? i would assume muscle memory takes over
Dude was the best baller Ive ever seen along with MJ.
KB0824NBAGOAT2ME
Str8 FACTZ!!!
Gotta put AI and T-Mac there, too.
@@lordfatherpain AI was the greatest short basketball player outside of John Stockton. Even Wilt and Bill Russell said that John Stockton was the greatest short guy in the league.
Allen Iverson was the only thing that stopped the 2001 Lakers from sweeping the playoffs entirely. That's greatness.
@@craigwheeler4760 lol. I'm gonna go ahead and put prime Vince Carter in the unstoppable category.... most game winning shots under 5 seconds in history.... can dunk on anyone you just named at will... very nice long range game. Js they overlook it alot! VC was goated but hated by many and overlooked!
#RIPKobe it's been 2 years but I still can't believe I'm writing this. Thank you for everything, Kobe.
“Kobe over Battier”
“Kobe over Battier”
“Kobe over Battier”
Kobe your the best ❤️ 😘 player
if that was Harden guarded by battier his hands on his face, he would flop like shane slap his face
"Over Yao and Battier"
@@thedistance1155 boohoo if it was if it would it could've been
I love Battier so much he has such a respectful attitude towards the game. Tbh Battier and Artest played excellent defence on Kobe in this series.
Despite the dirty plays by the Lakers Kobe did gain my respect after these years
This is one of my favourite personal game by kobe. Comes out with focus, desire, fuel, fire, a bully, an assassin and was willing to win this game on the line no matter what.
My favorite too.
He literally owned Shane Battier from start to finish
well said bro!
Mehran M Heart of a champion
JUST WATCHING Kobe Bryant ON THIS GAME MAN IS A LENGEND. RiP.and to His Daughter has well. NEVER EVER WILL NOT BE GOTTEN .WE THANK YOU Kobe Bryant#24. # 1☝ .Rest In Peace and His Daughter has well rest in peace .
Let’s keep this at 81 likes
“He can’t guard me”!!!!! I fuckin love Kobe
He embarrassed Battier so bad he had to get a technical for it.
Jon Davis exactly man .. only 1 other player hits shots like that kobe and mj was unguardable midrange or anywhere really
Chris Paul Jordan >>>>>>>>> Kobe

Kobe's my favorite athlete of all time. Not just basketball player. ATHLETE. Kobe is a legend!!!
I can feel Ur pain brother now that he's gone RIP Kobe the legend
Yesss
This man was on a mission he really wanted that chip
Kobe was really scary here. Right from the start he knows he wants the game. Miss you Kobe!
Shane battier and Ron artest are 2 of top defenders of the 2000s. I wanna see Lebron, or curry make those hand in face shots.
LBJ might be able, SC cant make shots like this, but he can make something else happen
汪泓 curry run off screens curry is the greatest shooter the game has even seen he would find a way why would they be guarding a pg anyway 😂😂
AlkalineAjay bron a bully battier too little
Curry can. LeBron, no.
NBA Slick curry runs of illegal screens
This is just an ordinary day for Kobe...
His averages would suggest otherwise! 😂
Truth Brotha not really 😂🔥😆😆😆😆🤣🤣you not fooling nobody
Yeah with the refs on his side always
Kobe is a true basketball legend number 1 best player of all time and always will be R.I.P Kobe
That alley-Oop was too 🔥🔥🔥 Kobe will always be one of the greatest his mentality is killer !! Literally 😂 look at that hit to MWP
I LOVEEE this Man Game. He's the reason I started watching Basketball.
B b . A R. Fre. BVVV.
Me too........
Boy do I miss watching Kobe play. So awesome. He could just score in anyway and with anyone gaurding him. A refreshing look back into the past at this from today's 3 point fests.
The Greatest Laker of All time. Mamba Forever
I miss those days where just having Kobe on your team gave you a sense of hope that you can win games no matter how much you were down..
People wanna talk shit about Kobe's efficiency. In this series alone he had to go against Battier and Artest; two men geared to stop this player. Let's not forget about Bowen, Patterson, Christie, and Pippen.
Jovani Gama kobe was scorer ofcourse his percentages aint like someone who drives more ... but this kobe was the 2nd best basketball player ive ever seen live ..
Speak them facts,these ppl don't hear you
Jovani Gama pipped wasn't on this team
Tony Allen, Tayshaun Prince, MJ
And people don’t know the beginning of 2000 teams are playing zone defence against him and his best player beside him was Lamar odem until 08
Kobe said "If I'll pass, I'll pass to myself!"
great comment
rebound +1
😂😂😂good one💪
And him passing to himself got the lakers another ring lol
Damn that Kobe and Craig interview postgame. RIP legends 💜💛🖤
Kobe Bryant is the best player ever!!!
Facts!💯❤️
scored 40 againts two defensive specialist (Battier , Artest)
The true king Kobe Bryant ever.
He.had.no.weaknes.
King Kobe 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍💪💜💛💜💛💜💍💍💍💍💍🐍🐍🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
I was going to like the comment but decided to leave it at 81
The reason why us Kobe fans love him so much and think he is the greatest: Look at the way he chooses his shots. He makes it seem as if every shot he takes, no matter what the defense gives him, is a shot he is looking for. Fade-away, long 2s, 3s, drive up the lane lay it in, Kobe had the COMPLETE package. When a guy plays like that how can you not believe that he is the greatest ?
It’s literally art. So many different moves
Michael Jordan was better
@@owenparish1793 no
@@bigd7722 lol what are you smoking?
@@owenparish1793 mj is such a fraud so overrated what are you smoking?
Rest in peace legend, thank you for everything.
Sad day when 24 retires.
+Quanny Nguyen he is now
😒
Quanny Nguyen agree
):
It was a memorable way the day he retire 60 points
I'll never forget this game.. After losing game 1 there was no way we could down 2-0 at home 🔥🔥🔥
KOBE WILL ALWAYS BE KOBE A WILD BEAST IN A HUMAN BODY...
WE MISS THIS MAN😢😢😢
Im a huge fan of Kobe,God!I still cannot believe that he passed away RIP legend and to your beautiful daughter Gigi you inspire a lot of people especially we filipino your the best NBA player ever your legacy still remain condolences to the bereaved family of Kobe and Gigi..I see everytime you play it has hardwork and dedication your the best for me,,you may be gone in our eyes but the good memories that you have,still remain in our heart😔😔😔 It may hurt for us to accept as your huge fan but life must go on..To Bryant family be strong..
2019🔥🔥🔥 no one in the nba today is on kobes level
Stephen curry
Delisia Store stop it
He is the most skilled player and he copied all Jordan moves
Battier is still going to therapy sessions from guarding kobe
You're an idiotic loser.
I'm so honored to have been able to witness this mans greatness. Rest up King.
In 40 years:
Son: Dad, who is the greatest Lakers player?
Dad: Son, let me learn you something. You see this man? ☝
That, is one baaaaaadddddd man!
Son: What's his name?
Dad: MAMBA 🐍
R.I.P BROTHER

KOBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Games like this is why kobe vs Jordan can always be a debate
Kobe > MJ...
yeah, no
LOL who even humiliates themselves like that, Kobe was an amazing competitor and had style, elegance and grace but Jordan is the elite player.
Eva Burnz Kobe is an elite player too, what are you saying?
Jordan is breathtaking, but Kobe is electrifying !
Im the biggest lebron fan but even know kobe was clearly a different type of perfect . Sorry
I’m glad you’re honest
AJae Soriano rip Mamba
Shut up man 😂
09 Kobe >>> any LeFlop period
You never know what you have until it's gone. Kobe was FIERCE... I wish I had appreciated him more when he was still alive. The intensity, and ferocity of his game was incredible.
I miss watching kobe play.. as a cavs fan i would take every opportunity to watch him play..he will be truly missed . He was must watch TV,. R.I.P Mamba
Shane Battier was great defender but Kobe just bullied this guy
But he is no kawhi.
Shane Battier was a very good defender. Not a great defender. There is a difference. His defensive prowess includes two 2nd Team All Defense. Like I said, very good. Not great.
@@truthbrotha1244 I disagree that's like saying klay is a good defender knowing damn well is a great perimeter defender
Terence Jones Klay Thompson is a better defender than Shane Battier was IMO. His career isn’t over yet either. But Klay Thompson isn’t a “great” defender either.
no one can guard kobe period
Nico Caneba I challenge Kobe to Kawhi Leonard.
Tony Allen
Jaziel Torres he killed Tony Allen... Kobe said he played him the toughest but that don't mean he didn't get worked
Kendal Greene I never said Kobe didn’t drop points on Allen, but ok. 🤷🏻♂️
2k God23 you said Tony Allen could guard Kobe .... meaning like he was a shutdown guy.... Tony Allen was a great defender in his prime along with Bowen.... Artest ... Batt..... but Kobe was definitely unguardable especially wen he was locked in like this.
I miss you already, Kobe, R.I.P
The man didn’t let injuries slow him down 🎭 injuries and still averaged what he averaged the goat 💯
Kobe so smart
only person besides Mj who played with aggression and vengeance...Battier never had a prayer
Glocksig 45 i agree .. even if u didnt like kobe how could. U not enjoy his game its so beautiful.. closed player to mj ever .. i give mj the nod slightly but i think kobe was just as good as pure scorer . Easily top 3 alltime pure scorer
I remember this game like it was yesterday. I'm still in belief. RIP Kobe :/
Thank you Kobe fan 124, I prefer to watch Kobe play than to watch the other games. Kobe is great and I'm thankful that M.J. mentors him as well as his father, thank you so much for sharing Kobe videos. Thank you, I'm quarantine for God knows how long and this is what I look for every time I sign on to TH-cam it's more important now more than ever that all of us are able to watch Kobe play. It's hard being without him, thank you again.
Who else watches this everyday to motivate yourself before you play bball? I can't be the only one lol
TechKing196 yeah i do but i still suck
Used to do this a lot but i don't have much time for basketball anymore
yo bro u legit made me cry lmao
Mamba mentality
Yeah right! All yall niggas weak!
the next year artest joins kobe and wins the 2010 finals game 7 against the boston celtics..
@west texas sure did
west texas he is paid for that !
This is what I like about Kobe that he always gave credit when and where it was deserved. I’m a huge Manu Ginobili fan and he truly was underrated. However, Kobe gave him a lot of credit saying that Ginobili, West, and himself were the same types of players. Kobe didn’t just throw out compliments to anyone. So, I think him respecting Ginobili and his talent on the court is everything!
THIS GAME IS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU PASSED YESTERDAY, THE PASSION AND GRIT, THEY HAD TO CALL A TECH ON YOU BCUZ THIS MAN COULDNT STICK YOU
RIP #MAMBAOUT
GOAT
Talking about MJ again, eh??? 😂
Na kobe would smoke mj
Damn I remember that Rockets team. It was a bruiser squad with Battier, Artest and Skola. A team assembled to stop Kobe and Kobe still torched them.
Maba.for.life.
An absolute phenomenon! I watched him feverishly, and argued his merits up & down versus any other player. So cerebral, so dedicated to his craft💯
Legendary interview @ the end! Two hall of famers REST IN PEACE Craig/Kobe 🙏🏾💪🏾
He just came out and won the game. Insane mental ability for concentration and emotional passion translating into basketball artistry
This kobe right here would of killed lebron in finals
yea too bad LeBronze didn't keep up his end of the bargain that year
No
Fr lol
lebron get no helpers
Well yeah. But Kobe didn't hold up his end of the bargain in 2011.
Watching Kobe play was pure magic,he could shoot from anywhere,miss you kobe r.i.p❤️
This video made me cry, I miss kobe man 😖😭😭
Who ever hates kobe get out. If u love him good job!
Kawhi would lock Kobe up.
He’d put him in handcuffs and hold him to 22. MJ would do the same, then put up 50 on his ass!
good job bro
@@jeremytucker8853 that's the match up I'd pay to see
Truth Brotha 🤣😆😆😆😆🤣😆😆😅
Over Yao man... This guy could not be stopped during this time... Good times before all these bandwagon 2012 NBA "Fans" came along and act like every player in history didn't exist. Sad they never saw things like this.
For the past 9 years NBA is a defenseless unwatchable shit.
@@Euzebinio blame the NBA associates and ref, don't blame the players. If you cant deal it, you're free not to watch it.
That interview between Craig Sager and Kobe is happening in heaven right now
Seeing those two together is special. Kobe and Craig, thank you for the memories! I didn't know you personally, but it truly hurt like family when you guys departed from this life. Once again, thank you for the memories.
Miss them both, gave me so much memories growing up
Never realized he actually did catch Artest with that sneak elbow lol
But.did.you.see.aretes.push.kobe.out....of.his.place.if.a.place.is.taken.and.you.push.someone.out.of.it.thats.disrespectful.and.when.you.cross.that.line.anything.can.happen.maba.for.life.that.is.....going.to.be.my.next.tato
Caleb Melendez he surely did but it’s basketball !and another thing is how he reacted 😂
Sneaky ass elbow
The hilarious part is that Kobe elbowed Artest in the throat and ARTEST was called for the foul..... I just shook my head on that one.
Sneaky veteran move lol love it
Kobe the Goat 🐐
Was at this game still cant believe he is gone.
RIP Kobe, goat
Mamba Mentality
RIP KOBE BRYANT you will be missed
4:17 is what made me fall in love with that guy.
Classic Kobe right? Classic
Still watching the goat 2023 👑 Kobe
"i'm very happy for him, he put in a lot of work and he's well deserving"
Yeah but lets bury kobe
What a true legend. Kobe Bryant all time the true goat 🐐.
man this is a game we call it a game man MAMBA
Love you Kobe w/ all my heart we miss you so much man. What a time to be alive and watch this man growing up. 90s baby
I miss watching Kobe play 😔
And ppl say lebron better than this man?! 😂 blasphemous
Hardbody Mazzi just lebron jock riderz.
No.way.in.cold.day.in.hell.lebron is better than kb24
I can’t even watch NBA today man. When mamba retired so do good basketball
12:26 obviously Lebron is nothing compared to Kobe
Lebron had like 4 of these round one last year 😂. Yea he doesn’t take contested fade-away jumpers but it’s not about style points.
T D anyone can say that like most haters do to attract attention like you do. They've both have accomplished something on nba.
Best mid-range shooter ever.
I sincerely hope you're joking...
Affect Salty Well who is better?
I take it you've never heard of Jerry West? Larry Bird was an incredible mid-range shooter. Elgin Baylor, AI... Gail Goodrich...
Affect Salty Haha that's just ridiculous, Elgin Baylor and Gail Goodrich? Get out of here. Larry Bird is the only player you can argue is as good as Kobe at midrange shooting.
Affect Salty kobe has the most points scored from farthest away from the 2pt line, he makes a living from contested 2s.
Love and miss him so much. He and his family deserved so much better.
exactly why kobe is my🐐watching these games was normal back then but now it's like gold cuz we haven't seen anybody like kobe since and never will in this lifetime. #RIP #MAMBA
Kobe was so focused that if he would of high fived you at the end of a poster dunk , 5 years later and from that dunk after you run into him and ask him if he remembered you and he would say confidently and smirkishly say "of course I do" because he literally remembers. #lazerlikefocus#bruceleementality
He should have 3MVP’s
2002-2003 this Man Average 30PPG 7rebs, and 6AST on 45% fg, 38% 3pt fg, 84% ft, and 2.2 STL a game! First team all-NBA and Second team defense all-NBA... oh and played all 82 games! Only 24!
If that ain’t the definition of robbed idk what is!
Oh and Shaq only played 66 games, they have to give him that MVP! Plus in 2006-2007 47wins is good enough for an MVP, that’s 3 shy of a 50 win season with scrubs! Averaging 31.6 ppg, 5.4ast, 5.7 rebs, on 46% fg, 86% ft, All-NBA first team, first team defense All-NBA, and scoring 81 points! David Stern and the NBA never really like this man for some odd reason.
In Asia, Kobe is loved dearly. He'd still be getting MVP's today if the league was in Asia lol.
Your actually missing other seasons more notable for example 08-09 & 09-10. I believe he should’ve won MVP both of those years as he kept raising the bar for the NBA standard and he accomplished so much within those 2 years including winning the championship and finals MVP
Thank.you.
Yeah the MVP could've went to either Kobe or ShaQ but shaQ was like the movie star of the team at the time so they decided to give the MVP to Shaq... based on his stardom.. I believe Shaq had stared in a movie around the time... i remember!!
In 2003 Kobe made ALL NBA Defensive First Team
I need to watch a few of these each day to get through. This reminds me of the good ol Kobe days. Childhoold through adulthood memories. Gone but never forgotten. Rest Up Kobe 💕
hi.......Jo Reeves good afternong
Jo Reeves my name is Miguel parra
Jo Reeves my country is Managua Managua, Nicaragua Centroamérica
When basketball had a real feeling. Feels better to watch this version on basketball than today.
10 yrs gone so fast that I always think it was happened yesterday.
We miss you kobe💜
i love how kobe literally elbowed him and put his hands up like "i aint do nothin" gotta love the playoffs.
Also, Kobe could take elbows, bumps, push offs etc… he knew in the playoffs things get physical he knew how to take it just as much as how to give it someone. In the postgame interview he even said Ron should not have been ejected.
We miss you Kobe Bean Bryant. The game has not been the same without you. RIP my brotha.
Kobe is so good man you he makes you watch with your heart in your throat, just amazing to watch him, if only the management gave him artest and gasol early after shaq left on LA, he would have one 6 or more titles
