after the may 29th, 2010 western conference finals game 6. lakers end suns 4-2.
Considering charles barkley to be one of the known kobe hating analysts on tv (and biggest lebron lover), hearing him say that about kobe is really something.
TNT inside the nba with reggie miller, kenny smith, charles barkley, ernie johnson, talk about kobes performance and comparisons to michael jordan.
People forget so quickly :/
I swear
+Matt DJ People today say that Lebron was the best player at this time. My god.... until Lebron left for Miami, he was NOT better than Kobe. 2000-2010 was Kobe's decade.
+eskimo289 lie
Go watch basketball...
Supercurio nah .. it was shaq from 2000-2006 then kobe until 2010 .. and now LBJ
Kobe fan LeBron fan or Melo, no matter who you like, if you don't give Kobe his credit, you're not a basketball fan
yup. even lebron melo even michael jordan gives kobe his credit.
Kobe and LeBron are the greatest powerhouse NBA players ever.
Amen . .. I'm not a LeBron fan but i give him his respect and I put him in the top 10 easily ... but these shots kobe hit against the suns is so Jordan like it's ridiculous... kobe is the best pure scorer I've seen him and Jordan .. kobe was the best player on the planet from 03-2010
Greg Hubbard Shut up white boy
Wow... what happened?
So much disrespect towards Kobe nowadays. Closest thing to MJ and no doubt in the goat convo.
kobe averaged 32 ppg, 7.2rpg, and 8.33 apg!!! amazing!! probably his best series ever. the spurs series in 2001 was amazing also
Man his 2001 playoff run was so crazy he was just entering his prime too
@@lucasdeangelo5462 and no one talks about how the Lakers didn’t win a ring until Kobe started playing full time in 99-00. Kobe didn’t play much his first 3 years. Anyone who says Shaq carried Kobe can cut it out. They BOTH won that 3 peat!
These NBA analysts were calling Kobe the best player and closer during the time when LeBron won MVP lol Kobe deserved at least 3 more MVPs. But he decides to wait until the playoffs to show those skills and aim for the bigger prize (NBA Title)
Yeah he gott robbed of some mvps. Because of that rape case where he was not guilty. He shoud have at least won 4-5 mvps
Nate Rivers exactly! Unfortunately it's the damn media that chooses...he deserves two more
They call kobe the best during the time when lebron was mvp. Speaks a lot about how kobe got robbed
+Nate Rivers Agreed
actually his numbers went down in the playoffs. kobe only had 40 in the finals once against magic
Yeah... And they say Kobe isn't an all-around player. Just look at those numbers
Facts people say he does not pass
Adrian Cawaing Maybe the best all-around Playoff series of his career. Certainly one would look at 2001 against San Antonio, but I would put this series right up there. Plus, it was 2 more games than 2001.
Greg Hubbard omg he lost a series wtf kinda argument is that? Dirk dominated every team that year nobody could stop that, it was finally his time
@Greg Hubbard idiot😂😂
Exactly!
Hopefully in years from now, people can remember kobe in his prime more than in his last few years. The Mamba was special!
Ulises Luna
Nobody will forget kobe. The NBA is really trying to put him out. But he is just to much of an icon even over seas they see him as a good
Ulises Luna I think people tend to forget. He’s in the top 4-5 all time!!
He left us a lot to look at. I miss him.
thomas walker This was Kobe’s best series. Yet LeBron has about 15 series in his career that are just as good as this one.
RIP
@Trade Bum Simmons How am I wrong
1:06
LOOK AT THOSE FUCKING NUMBERS, and this was only 3 years ago. I mean HOW QUICKLY DO PEOPLE FORGET?
I KNOW...it's amazing !
it's called 'We at NBA and ESPN want Lebron KING JAMES to be the center of everything...Kobe will get NO love, and it's sickening !
36.7ppg
7.2rpg
8.3apg
this is what you call win by any means necessary!
SERIOUSLY RIGHT.. HOW QUICKLY THEY FORGET. This just comes to show the power of marketing and media. They make so many Lebron commercials, feature him on pop culture outside of basketball, so kids who don't even watch the NBA believe he is the best.
i mean, it's lebron time now ya know. The media is going to have to push Lebron at every opportunity to keep selling the product. It's annoying but they gotta do what they have to do. Personally, i felt Kobe was a better player in his prime but Lebron is no slouch and deserves what he gets.
Joshua Han haters that say kobe never passes. 8.3 assists GTFOOOOOO kobe hatersss
those series numbers.... my gawwwwwwd
This was sweet revenge after 2006 2007 1st round exits for Kobe and the lakers
the series LA lost after being up 3-1 (including Kobe tying G4 at the end of regulation, and then hitting one of the most epic game-winners ever) was especially painful ... and memorable ... for him NOT shooting in the second half of G7.
Kobe was so awesome in that series, that even Chuck had to kiss the ring of The Black Mamba. If anybody hasn't noticed. Chuck Barkley isn't a huge Kobe fan. Which made this AWESOME!
killerghostwriter Yeah, Deron Williams sounded like he wanted to choke Charles after Utah got swept. "Then Chuck said Kobe couldn't play anymore."
I miss you Kobe.
it seems like so many people have forgotten Kobe and what he did because of LeBron's string of accomplishments in the past few years
Kobe finally got a competing team in 08 and won 2 Championships, 2 NBA Finals MVP, & 1 NBA MVP, and then he slowly started to decline and the CP3 veto and the injuries of the 2013 team.
Bryant, in comparison to Jordan, James, & Duncan has been unlucky with the cards he has been dealt.
+AmazingGaming lol "unlucky with the cards he's been dealt"? he had 3 championships and 4 finals appearances before he turned 25. He was playing with the most dominant center of his time before he started he single game. He had one of the greatest coaches of all time before he even reached his prime and had him again during his prime. Tell me again how Kobe was "lucky with the cards he was dealt"?
+Prince Cyrill: Warriors fan since 2015 Yeah good point tho, I think Kobe+2004 Pistons would still beat Shaq and the Lakers
It’s a skinny string
Drymond Green says lebron been the best player since 2005 nah he been the best player 2011
Kobe era is 2001-2010
Dramond didn't even believe that until recently. He was HUGE Kobe fan around this time and would tweet about his admiration of him regularly.
And ppl say Kobe Was never the Best player in the league 😂😂😂😂
KingOfStrongStyle Nick Wright punk ass is delusional
That's Nick right dumbass
Nick Wrong
Nick Wright is so biase towards lebron
33.7 pts 7.2 Rebs 8.3 Asts on laying down fadeaways and double teams. I loved kobe in his solo finals runs because he proved he was the best two way player in history. He was so clutch it made everyone shook when the 4th quarter was closing. He showed his maturity giving passes on double teams and high iq plays which made him an even more difficult puzzle to figure out, and an underrated stat line of 8.3asts shows that. And he did it with Gasol and Odom, which are close to nothing in this league now. People who hate literally dont know basketball and just look at his stats that may "contradict" how truly important this dude was to the game. After his injuries people were quick to judge him but in my opinion, Kobe couldve averaged 25 for two more season ls and stayed averageing over 20 in his final season. Damn i miss Kobe, my greatest player of all time.
When I watched that game live back in 2010 my jaw completely dropped. I mean look at those shots, I had nothing and still have nothing to say.
“Oh there was a black mamba in az tonight…”-Barkley 😂
kobe did his individual record breaking in the reg season,wer he shoots more..but come playoff time he become a team player..thats what ive observe in his 17 yrs in the league..
Alot of people's arguments on Kobe Bryant is that "Oh, he went 6-24 in game 7 of the Finals". What about Michael Jordan? I love MJ but he shot 15-35 in game 6 of the 1998 finals with 1 assist and 1 rebound, but that never gets criticized, why? Because he won. He willed his team to the victory, and he didn't care how many shots he took to do it. And Kobe did the same thing. And I'm not a big stats person but kobe had 15 rebounds and 5 assists to go along with his 23 points.
kobe was amazing in this series
Rest In Love Legend
Man I’m hurt everyday it’s crazy 🙏🏽 Kobe
That year was Kobe’s revenge tour beating the Suns who got em in 06 & 07 then Celtics beating in finals on 7 games. Sweet
Finally Charles give Kobe the respect he deserves.
And damn what beast series for him
I watch this video every year dawg lol Kobe was amazing
1 of the best series by any player of all time imo. those stats are unreal and he was clutch every game
RestInPeace Kobe and gigi
RIP KOBE
Oh how they forget. Rip mamba.
“Ernie you see that shot there “ Charles Barkley u can hear how Impressed
"Oh there is a Black Mamba in Arizona" - Charles Barkley
kobe perfected all mj's move. to all the youtube viewers out there please do respect the discipline and passion of kobe. thats
Kobe was the best player in the NBA. It's funny that now some ppl say Bron was the best since he came into the league, but no. We all know that Kob was the best at this time!
LOL @ Reggie hating on MJ's commercials.
Hated HARD, too 🤣🤣🤣
Nice stats....against the Suns.
His Finals performance against a good defensive team was even more legendary.
It's true man. what kobe does is just amazing. some of things he does to I'd have to say Jordan never did. the 2 greatest for sure
This was in 2010 like his 14th season lls mj was sum ass wit wizards his 14th season, yu niggas need to admire kobe more then that mj smh
But Kobe's 14th season was 3 yrs. younger than Mj's 14th season
It was not 3 yrs younger then mj 14th season , wat sense do u make?
I'm talkin bout years in nba mane, plus mj wild ass took yrs off in between his career and barely got injured threw his career matter fact only once, kobe done faced so many injuries plus never takin years off, fuck off
Fuck that kobe 17th season better then mj 14th season
hell naw, n mj played for a goofy ass team. kobe my boi but the last two seasons he been gettn dogged!
kobe going to be the best ever
Kobe 2nd best of all time
thats a monster series for kobe..
these next few NBA season will be fun to watch i
i can't wait until the playoffs..kobe is going to take over as coach/player.
Listen I love Kobe he is one of the athletes I have so much respect for all I am saying is to be crowned MVP is a huge honer.
How quickly people fucking forget. I'm sick of the people re-writing history.
it's weird hearing charles barkley giving kobe props
im so used to hearing him hate on kobe
kobe relaxes during season then kicks ass in playoffs
brilliant "Black Mamba" series, The Celtics were better this year too...Kendrick Perkins dislocated his knee, game 6 and pretty good scrappy game 7. should have kept Ariza with Artest for a three peat. Thank you Kobe for twenty years...
Travanti Wilson don’t forget that in the first Boston vs la matchup in 2008, the lakers starting center Andrew Bynum was out the whole series. People always forget to bring that up. They were short handed and Paul gasol got OWNED.
Charles Barkley saying something nice wow
jheeze those stats are BEAST
Look at those assist numbers!!
ikr, kobe tried his hardest in game 5 while everybody wasn't even doing anything; that's what you call carrying your team when you're old and out of your prime.
lets begin the playoffs already!... damn, can't wait
@RTR9 great comment man. most of these people never saw the 90s or 80s era and talk out their asses. jordan never had shots with this degree of difficulty. its unheard of.
that's true you forget how awesome kobe was
LAKERS#LAKERNATION#WE ALL WE GOT
Kobe's Player Efficiency Rating goes down in the playoffs (23.5 to 22.4). MJ's PER went up in the playoffs - this is unheard of, and truly separates Jordan from the rest. He became even better on the biggest stage. His 27.9 PER in the regular season is the highest career PER in NBA history... and it increased to 28.6 in the playoffs (which is the highest career playoff PER in NBA history). He also has the #1 scoring average in NBA history in reg season, playoffs, and finals (min 15 games)
It is so weird that we consider Kobe as number 2 but some people nowadays do not even have him in their Top 3 or Top 5.
i remember 4 weeks ago Barkley was talking about Kobe's downturn.
@nyknick4life "In the 2009 Finals against Orlando, Gasol averaged 18.6 points and was often the primary defender on Orlando’s Dwight Howard, whose 15.4 points a game was a dramatic dropoff from the 25.8 he put up against Cleveland in the Eastern Conference finals." -- Los Angeles Times; "All Things Lakers", Chuck Shilken (Aug.11, 2011)
Howard DID struggle.
"Kobe had the highest WS in 01" Yes he did. His 33/7/7 against SAS in the WCF was huge. However, 3-peat total WS: Shaq - 12.2; Kobe - 8.5.
I think of Kobe as Spider-Man. There are people that love him no matter what, and people that hate him even if he has great moments like these.
and won 1 game thats SOOO AMAZING
KD needs to start playing defense then cuz he's not a defensive stopper like MJ was and kobe. MJ though the best defender at the guard position ever.
kobe avg 33 pts 7 rebs 8.2 ast in this series big boy numbers
Chuck is like, HEY SHUT UP WERE TRYING TO DO A SHOW HERE
This series was intense
hill was playing good defense too...i personally think in 2008 Kobe was at his peak
Yet he didn't win MVP averaging 34/7/8 vs Suns, total BS
nope people will always criticize him for not getting a ring on his own and by that i mean joining two superstars
hes led the lakers in assists since 1999 and people say he doesnt pass the ball!
i dont know why this video is still up and all the other ones where charles barkley called kobe too old were taken down......
For those saying Kobe is a ballhog... You're right... He is... But the only reason he is, is because 1. He's a SG... 2. Why would you give him the ball, if you didn't want him to score, have you seen his scoring abilities? 3. Kobe had Pau Gasol at the time, who did you want him to pass it to? Derek Fisher? Good day, haters...
I lol'd after watching this then Charles' reaction to the lakers being swept by Dallas. Epic.
1:12 - OMG look at those numbers
REST IN PEACE TO A GOD 💜💛
a RARE kobe praise from Barkley.
I don't thinnk people were exaggerating when they said Prime Kobe couldn't be stopped... They weren't exaggerating at all.
Exactly: During this playoffs he said Kobe's days of going out and scoring 30 or more were over. At least he admitted he was wrong lol
my top 5 fav lkers:
5.shaquille o"neal
4. ricky foxx
3. adam morrison
2.kobe "tha momba bryannt"
1. kwam brown/smush parkor
Charles 🙏🏾
@nyknick4life That was Joe speaking on the rule changes (note: "it benefits me").
"You can't even touch a guy now. The college game is much more physical than our game. I always tease Michael [Jordan], if he played today, he'd average 50."
-- Larry Brown; coached the 04 Pistons defense
"Just the no hand-checking rule alone brought so much speed and penetration and cutting back into the game. Before, if a guy tried to go through the lane, it was - bam! - you stop him."
--Doug Collins
1:15 is proof that kobe is a great all around player i hate it when people say all he can do is shoot
I knew I mustn't be the only one who's aware of this.
jesus he couldve had 3 triple doubles, hes amazing
real laker/ kobe fans know that....its funny how nobody called allen iverson a ballhog when he led the league in scoring one year and shot 39 percent for the season
Lakers now with a great bench. Freight train is taking off!
well my point was, both of them have great midrange shots
Kobe destroys the Suns in 6 games in WCF (winning his 5th championship ring and 2nd Finals MVP)
Meanwhile Lebron loses to Celtics in 7 games in ECF (taking his talents to Miami)
He's a space alien, Mike. He's a space alien living right under our noses...
REGGIE WAS ABOUT TO SAY SOME REAL SHIT
Kobe proved Charles wrong..... Simple as that.
Damn look how close Kobe was at getting a triple double in gms 2,3,4, and 5
@MrUcantbeatla "bad hanes commercials i might add" hahah
I think of Shaq as Superman and Kobe as Batman.
Never seen jordan do those shots under that duress playing against people that can also dunk. Jordan played with alot of unathletic people. No dis.
funny how barkley was saying how kobe was done prior to these playoffs...
Agreed. Kobe also has better post-game....And it's almost just like KD and Kobe when it comes to shooting, Kobe=Better Mid range game, Durant=Better 3-point shot.
And they said Kobe doesn't pass lol he was doing this during the first 3 peat (initiating the offense & facilitating).
musiconcloud17
He was the pg for the first 3 peat.
+two of the greatest kobe&Mj exactly lol only these kids who weren't even born yet say he didn't pass the ball.
musiconcloud17
30,000+ points 6,000+ ast say something as he is the only player in NBA history to accomplish that feat. Not even Michael did that.
@Jose Gonzalez actually je can do more than just dunk its his athleticism and strength that make him great. If he wasnt 6"8 250 lbs. and lightning fast with hops he'd be pretty ordinary. Thats how he won 3 mvps with holes in his game (3pt,ft,post etc.)
WHAT REGGIE DOESNT MENTION IS WHEN HIM AN KOBE FOUGT ON COURT. I WAS THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED
People trying to put Kobe above or at the same level with MJ simply do not remember how great Michael really was. How can you say that Kobe is better closer? Dont you remember game 6 in 98 finals? dont you remember flu game or game 1 of 97finals etc etc?! Michael was like a machine programmed to win champs. and in every finals he had to prove his clutch skills and you people after one tough game against Phoenix put Kobe above or even to Michael.
I like Kobe but he will never be as good as Jordan
@thug8200 Couldn't find it. Is it here on youtube?
