The most impressive thing about this video was just how underrated Kobe's strength was. He's pushing bigger guys back on their heels and yet is quick enough to prevent the smaller guys from stealing the ball. His workouts and fundimental training was top notch
His IQ is greater. If the defender is pushing with equal or greater strength, he'll just spin around them with ease. But yes, his strength is underrated for sure.
It’s between him and Kevin Durant . I think Kd has a little more of an edge because of his numbers . 4 scoring titles . Second all time in career ppg . And he’s 49 39 and 89 in splits . He can literally do it all .
HOT DAMN. Been a Kobe fan since 2000, but only now do I fully appreciate the beauty of his post game now that I'm older and have higher basketball IQ. Back then, all I could see was the ball going into the basket. Now I see the amazing head/shoulder/eye fakes, the pivots, how he shields the ball with his body etc. KOBE IS THE BEST NON-BIG MAN POST PLAYER OF ALL-TIME
Most people would say he copied Jordan’s moves. He did, but took it to the next level. Kobe easily has the best post moves of all time. Missing you big time everyday, Bean!
Even if he did take from MJ, Hakeem and other great players, so what? It made him one of the greatest scorer ever, if not the greatest. It’s one of the dumbest things I’ve seen people say to minimize Kobe’s greatness
@@rojane.1032 kobe’s post moves compared to jordan’s was next level. Simple. Simply means that, yes, kobe copied MJ’s moves, but Kobe was more of a remix.
@@TheULMOnaut ummm, there's not many hakeem if u only look at kobe's fadeaway (but hakeem had fadeaway actually). the fades were more likely from jordan. yet, kobe did have footwork from hakeem, in form of a guard version. the spin, the shimmy shake. one of the kobe's signatures, which throw the ball to the board and put it back by himself again, also involved footwork in my opinion.
TheULMOnaut. Wow someone is in denial. It's apparent by your comment you didn't even watch the video. Why would you? People don't usually invest in things they hate.
The greatest mid post player, had great defenders on him every game and still couldn't be stopped. Guys like AK47, Artest, Battier, Doug Christie, Kidd, Barnes, Sefolosha, Marion, Prince, Pippen, Tony Allen, Raja Bell, and so many more but it didn't matter..........Mamba
One of my favorite things about Kobes game is the way he manipulates the game to go the speed he goes. He takes his time and doesn't rush anything, a very fundmentally versed playert
After watching the training videos he did with Hakeem I can safely say he made that baseline spin move his own. He worked on what he learned and put his on style in it. The last piece of greatness from the old generation is now gone, makes me tear :'(
I can't believe the arsenal of shots he has. He is fully aware of his body position and is able to adapt with full precision. I am watching true Basketball.
He's one of the most if not the most all around complete offensive player I've ever seen. He had no flaws and he could score at will against any team on any given day.
Incredible how ppl can throw out advanced stats (totally valuable and useful tool when contextualized w/ film) like TS% to discredit Kobe forgetting how diff the league is today vs the majority when he played and the scheme of that offense. This guy was giving you elite level efficiency out of post plays on crazy high usage and he was doing so largely without any schemed or designed switches. He was getting straight buckets on his primary defender straight out of iso, all while drawing consistent doubles . We’ve all seen the constant back and froths between Kobe and greats like Battier, MWP, Bowen, Prince etc. In today’s switch heavy/high p&r style spread offenses, imagine guys like Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Kyrie, Lillard on an island against Kobe fucking Bryant... No, he wasn’t always as willing as he should’ve been to pass lol but again, in his era, breaking down your man in the midrange WAS the best shot or at the very least made you the baddest dude on the court. Had Kobe came up like the guys we compare him too now w/ advanced analytics alone, how can anyone argue he wouldn’t absolutely dominate on both sides of the ball, much like we see Kawhi doing today? Imagine Kobe in place of James Harden for example. No shade to Harden who’s been EATING btw. You’re basically getting Kawhi Leonard w/ his offensive sliders slightly higher and defensive sliders slightly lower in place of Harden who doesn’t play much defensive (understandably). For Kobe to be as great as he is, he gets way too much disrespect and false narratives from the media and fans smh. Dope video, bruh ✊🏾
These are the highlights I rather watch than the popular ones. Reason I enjoy watching a full game and every bucket instead of just the ones the media wants us to see 😂 btw Kobe is the true 🐐 this was beautiful to watch
A 2 Guard with a Power Forward and Centre's post ability. This dude was ridiculously skilled. RIP Mamba and congrats. You're now a Hall of Famer 💜 Edit: "center"*
The convention of using the word "centre" instead of "Center" doesn't apply here. It's the name of a position, not a reference to the midpoint of something, which is open to regional differences. What you just referred to is the administrative building.
so we gonna just ignore kobes supreme left hand scoring game.. who in the history of the game had a legit left hand more skilled than kobe...the answer is no one! THE GOAT.
Kobe injured his right hand and literally played an entire game shooting with his left. He even shot and hit 3s with his left. That’s why kobe is commonly referred as the most skilled player in nba history because he could score any and every way he wanted to, footwork is second to none, post, defense. Kobe had it all
Beautiful moves, he had the whole package. Power and finesse moves were smooth. As a combination of Mike and Hakeem. I just imagine how difficult was to defend in his prime, it must have been really frustrating.
Kobe and the baseline is poetry in motion... his footwork in the post is simply beautiful. All those years and teams never took away baseline... 😂🤦🏽♂️
I have to be honest. Bron is my favorite player always, he is like the best sports person out of all the basketball players when you take everything into consideration, Wilt is the most unreal and dominating one, MJ is the biggest winner, but Kobe, oh man. Kobe as a pure basketball player is incomparable with anyone. I know a lot of Jordan fans will be triggered, but talking about pure skill and basketball knowledge - Kobe Bryant is the GOAT.
Difference between Jordan, Kobe, and Lebron, is that Jordan and Kobe learned how to master post move footwork as they grow older that is why they remain effective even when playing against younger athletes. Lebron is still trying to power his way to a next championship and he is not efficient enough to make another run.
I’m only 5’11, yet I still love post work because of Kobe. Has to be the most dominant feeling in basketball just backing someone down for an easy two.
I like how they made this video, all his post moved aren’t just thrown in randomly, they take one move and show a bunch of them for a few minutes straight, the spin to reverse, the up and unders, the pivot fade, dirk fade, etc etc, you get to watch the move over and over from different spots on the floor and study the move, the timing, the footwork, i love everything about this video
30 minutes of highlights full of moves that only a handful of players could ever replicate. In my opinion, the most complete offensive player of all time. Can burn you from anywhere with any move

STAIGHT BEAST ASSASSIN WITH A KILLER INSTINCT NOBODY HAD HIS AMAZING FOOTWORK AND ALL THE MOVES AND SHOTS Nobody else would take or AND MAKE Unbelievable
Thanks for this. He took what Jordan could do in the post and sort of remixed it. He wasnt better or worse than jordan in the post, but he just adjusted it in a different way. I would love if some of these bigger super freak athletic guards would spend a week with kobe learning how to slow down their game and make better decisions to make them more efficient for their team. We see Westbrook and Derozon start to post up players, and they get lost at times on what to do when someone is not letting them go to their first move. And im sure kobe would be willing to help them out.
The first move on Klay: that hesi into the spin was so quick, especially at that age, had to see that in slow-mo to catch how he got so open in real time
To be honest, as many I grew up hating Kobe. (Detroit Team fan in the early 2000's.) Now that I'm a grown man. I fully understand how this guy was good. And by "good", I mean, legitimately in the "G.O.A.T. discussion" . Period Miss this guy as damn much as I hated him. Peace bros.
Kobe is incredible and High IQ player. Notice the elbow (neither the right or left elbows) prevent any defenders from coming close to Kobe's committed attacks direction. Here the example I am saying: Kobe dribbling the ball with his left hand, his right arm turn to a 90° angle (which give that extra strength) with his right arm at that angle defenders will feel that hit from the elbow blow(s). This alone give him the space he needs to execute the committed moves or arsenals. Blows my mind I never knew this when I was younger.
Kobe scoring was so versatile he could literally kill you on the perimeter then take you down low on the block & score Kobe post game was better than Alotta bigs that’s the crazy part. My boy constantly getting disrespected mane
What really tripped me up about Kobe's post game was his knack for showing his defender the ball, then switching hands with it or going into a reverse layup or showing, then protecting with his back. Unreal finishing ability.
I was a Kobe fan BEFORE he got drafted, and I'm still amazed looking back at this footage. It's been quite awhile since I looked at Kobe footage. Kobe's achilles heel in his career was shot selection. He simply did not give a fuck, and it would seem the more difficult the shot was, the more he wanted to shoot it. It hurt his efficiency, and ultimately hurt his overall scoring numbers. Take that one thing away from him, and his career numbers improve significantly.
mr boo a lot of his post moves ACTUALLY come from Hakeem and working out with him. But the fade away is def MJs influence although Kobe is a better shooter than MJ was.
Jordan shooting percentage is 49.7% while Kobe is at 45.4% plus Kobe holds the record of most missed shots in the NBA. As great as Kobe was, numbers dont lie and we know Jordan was far more graceful in playing the game. #facts
Kenneth Ymbong. 1st of all. Jordan played in the era of illegal defense. Who'd he have to beat? Stockton? Stark? Jordan can just iso all day long. Kobe wishes he had such luxury. Theres a reason players hate the zone. Jordan wasn't an exception. He hated the zone. He actually said he wouldn't have had the career he had if the zone was legal in his era. 2nd If you take difficulty of shot into account (unfortunately theres no stat for that), Kobe's converts at a much higher percentage. And he's efficient too. You can't just depend exclusively on stats as a be all and end all because it lacks context.
well there was this team in Detroit that Jordan had to face multiple times. Plus defense was tough in his era and I agree Kobe takes more difficult shots and still makes it in clutch situations and I admire him for that. Jordan's clutch shots looks easy because he had the talent to create space before taking his shots thus higher percentage.
There's always that "percentage guy" who reads every stats on Wikipedia and google. Stop it. Its like we've never watched any of these games. U can't compare stats when a Coach gives you a play when you can Isolate urself (mamba iso, yes it exists) and when the time is running down they automatically give Kobe the ball cause why not? He is Kobe the most clutch player in the history. Professional players and analysts already admitted that he is the clutchest player yet u, a casual fan who just watched videos on youtube claims that someone is more clutch than him. Get ur hating ass outta here 🤡🤡🤡
The most impressive thing about this video was just how underrated Kobe's strength was. He's pushing bigger guys back on their heels and yet is quick enough to prevent the smaller guys from stealing the ball. His workouts and fundimental training was top notch
I Know. his strength is underrated for sure
JCAnimus moves by Hakeem Olajuwon
His IQ is greater. If the defender is pushing with equal or greater strength, he'll just spin around them with ease. But yes, his strength is underrated for sure.
Thank you I been saying that he also has a pretty wide from for a not so buff dude..
Also how he used the strength fully.
Arguably the most skilled offensive player ever
Nothing arguable about it.
Nahhhh chillllll. Kyrie Lebron and Durant r better 🎉
@@on5189 not even close dude, Kyrie is perhaps the best ball handler ever but he is nowhere close in the realm of complete offensive skills
@@on5189Lebron and Durant aren’t better ball handlers or post players than Kobe. What are you smoking?

Missing you big time everyday, Bean!
He also learned from Olajuwon. In terms of offensive arsenal, Kobe was the most skilled player in history.

It’s one of the dumbest things I’ve seen people say to minimize Kobe’s greatness

There is nothing of Hakeem in Kobe's game, it's all Jordan, but less effective. He still was one of the greatest ever.

u forgot Bruce Bowen 😅
Best video on Kobe vs Jordan debate ua-cam.com/video/uwnD2KW3r7E/v-deo.html 👍👍👍
greatest to touch a basketball
I'd disagree as far as greatest lol. The best I've seen is Grant Hill as far as mid to deep post outside of Hakeem.
One of my favorite things about Kobes game is the way he manipulates the game to go the speed he goes. He takes his time and doesn't rush anything, a very fundmentally versed playert

This is not post move,this is art,legend forever
dribbling, footwork, strength, finishing at the rim, fade-away jump-shot. This video is display of the combination of those fundamentals.
He's one of the most if not the most all around complete offensive player I've ever seen. He had no flaws and he could score at will against any team on any given day.
YES YES that's kob
Nope that’s Jordan

Plz put respect on lbj's name
That’s why kobe isn’t top 5 lol master of greatness

Rest in peace..
KOBE #BLACK MAMBA
I have been looking for a video like this for years...thank you
Lebron’s post game is bullying his way to the lane. Kobe’s post game is all skill
real art of offence, can see it any more now. This videos is just textbook
u mean "can't?"
Amazing foot work. They don't teach post moves any more.
kobe I love you more
beautiful as a painting
I was a Kobe fan BEFORE he got drafted, and I'm still amazed looking back at this footage. It's been quite awhile since I looked at Kobe footage. Kobe's achilles heel in his career was shot selection. He simply did not give a fuck, and it would seem the more difficult the shot was, the more he wanted to shoot it. It hurt his efficiency, and ultimately hurt his overall scoring numbers. Take that one thing away from him, and his career numbers improve significantly.
Kobes the best hands down don't believe what the media bc tell s u
@@sabu2ray707facts. He's shot selection still got him the most points by a guard , most game winners ever, 7 final appearances 5 chips
People forget how cold Kobe was ..look what he was doing to Lebron in his prime when he actually played D
Imagine a player as great as Dwyane wade and Kobe just dominates him like he's a high schooler. Literally Kobe posting him up is light work.
3:54... such an underrated move. Straight from MJ
its like your still watching AIR JORDAN right there. they have the same MOVES.. REMINICSENT OF MICHAEL JORDAN
very similar
EPIC KOBE RIGHT THERE..
mr boo a lot of his post moves ACTUALLY come from Hakeem and working out with him. But the fade away is def MJs influence although Kobe is a better shooter than MJ was.
Jordan shooting percentage is 49.7% while Kobe is at 45.4% plus Kobe holds the record of most missed shots in the NBA. As great as Kobe was, numbers dont lie and we know Jordan was far more graceful in playing the game. #facts
Kenneth Ymbong. 1st of all. Jordan played in the era of illegal defense. Who'd he have to beat? Stockton? Stark? Jordan can just iso all day long. Kobe wishes he had such luxury. Theres a reason players hate the zone. Jordan wasn't an exception. He hated the zone. He actually said he wouldn't have had the career he had if the zone was legal in his era. 2nd If you take difficulty of shot into account (unfortunately theres no stat for that), Kobe's converts at a much higher percentage. And he's efficient too. You can't just depend exclusively on stats as a be all and end all because it lacks context.
well there was this team in Detroit that Jordan had to face multiple times. Plus defense was tough in his era and I agree Kobe takes more difficult shots and still makes it in clutch situations and I admire him for that. Jordan's clutch shots looks easy because he had the talent to create space before taking his shots thus higher percentage.
There's always that "percentage guy" who reads every stats on Wikipedia and google. Stop it. Its like we've never watched any of these games. U can't compare stats when a Coach gives you a play when you can Isolate urself (mamba iso, yes it exists) and when the time is running down they automatically give Kobe the ball cause why not? He is Kobe the most clutch player in the history. Professional players and analysts already admitted that he is the clutchest player yet u, a casual fan who just watched videos on youtube claims that someone is more clutch than him. Get ur hating ass outta here 🤡🤡🤡
People don't appreciate how much talent this requires.
BEASTIN AND FEASTING! The best
The epitome of a well rounded player is mastering the post. Damn Kobe was built for basketball
2:47: That announcer must've been high that night😂😂😂
art at its finest
I would watch this all the time just to be like him 💔🤦♂️ like this if Kobe the goat
Much more smoother smarter basketball moves, than Lebron who just tries to over power or tries to out athlete you.
