If we're talking strictly jumpshots then I would take Kobe because while Jordan takes better shots and is significantly more efficient, Kobe is able to drain very awkward shots from ANYWHERE on the court(and Kobe's form is perfect).
kobe most complete offensive player skill wise(better range handle)...jordan most effective offensive player. and MJ 89-93 is better than the 95-96 version to me
lmao michael jordan shoot the rock more.. do your research.. mj avrg over 21 two-point attempt, while kobe 15 attempt.. MJ is far superior attacking the rim thats why he's so effective, kobe pattented his play style to fade-away MJ 96-98
There's literally no player in the history of the league with a bigger offensive repretoire than Kobe .Dude is poetry in motion on the court. The look on Doc Rivers at 5:30 says it all
He's not close to MJ, that's just a fact. But that doesn't mean he isn't top 10 all-time. Kobe isn't in the GOAT discussion is all. Plenty of players, not just MJ, were better than him.
Danyal Kazmi how is he in not in the discussion. I can name a few people he’s better than in the top 10 list. Shaq, Larry, Duncan and Olajuwon are not better than Kobe idc what anyone says.
Danyal Kazmi Kobe is in the discussions, he’s better scorer than Jordan hence why he’s up higher on the scoring list. Kobe is a top 3 player, arguably the GOAT
@@dripsorrow5620 How is that ass defense? Gerald did the right thing without fouling. Kobe was a human cheat code they needed to literally triple team him to try and stop him.
Listen statically lebron gets the nod over kobe but when u watch these type of games these classics like the eye test shows u who was the better player my goodness that man gave u some post up to fadeaways to a crazy in game dunk many pull up threes and a lil crossover time to time to finish u off watch the video and tell me am i wrong he did it all out there my goodness to go with that amazing footwork hey hate the man but respect the game i only seen one other perimeter player that good and that's Mj point blank
Statistics matter. We can pretend they don't, but the number of shots you miss does matter. Efficiency wise, LeBron has the 2nd highest PER in NBA history...Kobe is 59th all-time. LeBron James has 4 MVPs while Kobe has 1. And I like watching fadeaways just as much as anyone, but Kobe really did miss way too many shots and was sort of a ball-hog. LeBron's game is much more versatile too, like his ability to pass and play point forward. A freak of nature with major basketball IQ, that's why he's so effective.
^if statistics matter so much then lets say westbrook finishes his career averaging something along the lines of 27 ppg 9 rpg and 9 apg 1.5 stl and 0.9 blk but lets say he only wins 1 ring. Will Westbrook be an all time better player then Lebron? He must be because his statistics are better right?
damn this was over 10 years ago. Look at the commentators and crowd getting mad at the eurostep at 4:18 and calling it a travel, and nowadays that is a pretty weak eurostep compared to Westbrook or Harden's.
lmao parker and kwame brown lmao. KOBE dragged those bums into playoffs. lakers management suck not sorrounding kobe talent in 2004-2007 wheres kobes peak in his career. SMH
Give lbj and kd credit. They good ass players. But when you shot paper at a trashcan you don’t say “lebron”. His impact to the game is on a different level
This was the first time I saw Kobe play live, here's a short piece I wrote about it for Mamba Day: medium.com/@stephenngao/824-words-describing-my-first-ever-lakers-game-attended-d5321ba8627
Kobe is truly a legend.
Yessir
Rip
One of the most unapologetic, skilled, and lethal hoopers to ever play.
Kobe's fadeaway jumpers were a PROBLEM, I'd even go as far as sayin he has best fadeaway form in NBA history!
Strictly Facts better than dirk?
Even Larry bird come cuh it's up there he's like a mixture of mj and when he got older he threw a lil dirk in it
I would personally say Mj, Kobe, then Melo..
Kalu Abay kobe better jumper, cuz jordan's jumper did not translate at the 3pt line
If we're talking strictly jumpshots then I would take Kobe because while Jordan takes better shots and is significantly more efficient, Kobe is able to drain very awkward shots from ANYWHERE on the court(and Kobe's form is perfect).
Prime Kobe was just unfair
Adam Idinarene I agree, IMO MJ the goat but Kobe is my favorite player
Eren Nazir how many MJ games you seen
Mrcastro312 has nothing to do with my comment
Eren Nazir cant call MJ the GOAT if you havent even watched his games you moron.
IWreckLobbies I did u dumbass
Prime Kobe was truly unstoppable
Back when they thought the euro was a walk lol
2005-2010 kobe was the best offensive player in NBA history
Na 95 - 96 Jordan > Kobe Bryant
Kobe shot the rock way more then Jordan still only has 2 scoring titles
The Finesse Kid wilt in his prime is greatest scorer in nba history
kobe most complete offensive player skill wise(better range handle)...jordan most effective offensive player. and MJ 89-93 is better than the 95-96 version to me
AJ Freakin' Styles 03*

Yep
The fact that a laker got mvp chants in boston...
🐐
Hasn't happen yet, kobe is the only laker player in Lakers history to get mvp chants in the garden.
Kobe was such a monster man.
Kobe skillset is crazy. Taking endless contested shots
Prime Kobe was disgusting 🥶🥶🥶🏀 R.I.P. to a legend 😔💔
GOD I MISS THIS MAN SO MUCH :(
KOBE SNATCHED THE SOUL OF EVERY CELTIC PLAYER AND FAN THIS GAME. DOCS FACE AT THE END SAYS IT ALL LOL!
Look at all the difficult shots this man was making. No one can deny that he was one of the best tough shot makers of all freaking time
One of the best in game dunkers of all time
4:13 Kobe eurostepping before it was popular, casters dont even know lol
It got popular manu brought it over to the nba
He is phenomenal
Much closer to MJ than people give credit for, has delivered time and time again for LA
He's not close to MJ, that's just a fact. But that doesn't mean he isn't top 10 all-time. Kobe isn't in the GOAT discussion is all. Plenty of players, not just MJ, were better than him.
lol he has 5 rings to mj's 6 and has passed mj on the all time scoring list even with injuries but "He's not close to MJ" LMAO ok.
Danyal Kazmi how is he in not in the discussion. I can name a few people he’s better than in the top 10 list. Shaq, Larry, Duncan and Olajuwon are not better than Kobe idc what anyone says.
Danyal Kazmi Kobe is in the discussions, he’s better scorer than Jordan hence why he’s up higher on the scoring list. Kobe is a top 3 player, arguably the GOAT
@@FearlessXcel Kobe was not a better scorer than MJ that’s bs
RIP to the GOAT
Top 5 ever
How does he make that shot at 5:21, unbelievable that kobe makes those shots. I bet thats just frustrating as a defender
I mean gerald green is ass at defense anyway lol
Marcus Barlow no that was good defense, just much better offense, kobe was unfair
True i don't even know how u gonna defend Kobe sometimes. Cuz he makes tough shots like no one else
Word dude
@@dripsorrow5620
How is that ass defense? Gerald did the right thing without fouling. Kobe was a human cheat code they needed to literally triple team him to try and stop him.
One my favorite kobe games!! #RIPMamba
You inspire me to start a classic kobe compilation channel
kobe must've used those ballhog gloves lmao
RIP KOBE + GIGI
Back when fucking smush Parker and kwame were his starters..like it was just Kobe and odom
DJ KHALED SQUAD #WeDaBest pretty much just kobe
Kobe The Gloat odom was decent but yea it was pretty much the Kobe show
Odom was so inconsistent back then but he showed flashes of greatness.
DJ KHALED SQUAD #WeDaBest Naw barely odom he was very inconsistent he didnt play well till gasol came
Just Kobe
Omg he was a monster that year
Rest in power Mamba❤️❤️❤️
The goat 🐐
The greatest of all times
Kobe got robbed of the MVPs those years nash won. Kobe teams were flaming dumpster smh
He got robbed once.2005 Shaq deserved it to be fair.No fucking clue why Nash was winning them tho
Nash did deserve them. Deserve doesn't mean should have one, but he was nasty. Kobe should definitely have had at least 2 MVPS.
4:58 Classic Kobe 😎
Kobe in his prime
Gotdam that was SICK DUNK!!! Rest Well King Kobe🏀💪🏿💜💜💛💛#8#24
4:21 how is that a walk? Two . steps
Euro step is very rare back then
Rest In Peace mamba, we witnessed greatness
Kobe is just been Kobe bean Bryant!
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
07 Kobe no words at all wow 😳
My favorite Kobe is 2002-2003,2005-2006,2006-2007, and 2008-2010. But in general overall every season is my favorite season honestly for Kobe.
Listen statically lebron gets the nod over kobe but when u watch these type of games these classics like the eye test shows u who was the better player my goodness that man gave u some post up to fadeaways to a crazy in game dunk many pull up threes and a lil crossover time to time to finish u off watch the video and tell me am i wrong he did it all out there my goodness to go with that amazing footwork hey hate the man but respect the game i only seen one other perimeter player that good and that's Mj point blank

Jermaine McClain lol thank you
The Fadeaway specialist is putting the that work.
Only opposing player I know that gets MVP chants in fucking Boston lmaoo kobe the goat
Boston fan here. We would have won if Paul was there but I must say Kobe is the greatest to ever play the game.
Mvp chants at the garden. Well Ok...
Sick dunk at the end
"What a WALK"- that is some biased ass commentary
Heinsohn gonna Heinsohn
These Boston commentators are consistently some of the most biased commentators in all of major league sports. They make me sick honestly
stupid ass celtics announcer lmfao clearly a euro
Celtics announcers are normally assholes to the opposition. The fact that he even complimented Kobe as much as he did shows he got much respect.
Gooooooaaaaaat
RIP KOBE
Kobe is always my top 2 🐐
Kobe got Celtics fans cheering lmao
RIP to this legend
Great duel between black and white mamba
Rip legend
Prime Kobe would have put these new nba players today to shame.
He played with most of em
@@No-Hasslewhen he was 36 or 37 🫠
That game that Westbrook played against the celtics this year when he had 45 reminded me of this. Two cold blooded assasins
04-07 Lakers roster is the worst in nba history. Kobe at his truly best didn't have a good team
Ballin Too Looked like D Wade and the 07-08 water
Love these Boston commentators
This was the game when Boston chanted MVP for Kobe
back then when they call "what a walking" instead of euro step. lol
Where I'm from we call that disrespectful 😂😂 4:57
The Black Mamba!
damn this was over 10 years ago. Look at the commentators and crowd getting mad at the eurostep at 4:18 and calling it a travel, and nowadays that is a pretty weak eurostep compared to Westbrook or Harden's.
I always forget how terrible kobe's teammates were during this 3 season period post shaq. Only reliable teammate he had was lamar.
lamar was also very reluctant at times, he didnt feel comfy as #2
Damn, I feel bad for Gerald Green. He got TWERKED in this game! Lol
The White Mamba is in the game!
lmao parker and kwame brown lmao. KOBE dragged those bums into playoffs.
lakers management suck not sorrounding kobe talent in 2004-2007 wheres kobes peak in his career. SMH
Kobe’s euro step has always been underrated
🐐
🐐
You know game is over if Kobe jogging down the court🤣👌🏿
Euro step Kobe… Lol @ “what a walk!”
The second GOAT!
i wish i could do turn around fadeaway jumpers from beyond the free throw line like that.
i always come up short
Practice
I guarantee you no one had these teams meeting in the finals the next season! Lol
how quick they forget..........
やっぱコービーはすごい
Tiger woods of basketball.
Just look at that line-up tho.
Lakers now in the bottom without Kobe....
Give lbj and kd credit. They good ass players. But when you shot paper at a trashcan you don’t say “lebron”. His impact to the game is on a different level
they truly forget how great kobe bryant was the most disrespected legend in Nba history
Mamba mode
Let me know when Boston start chanting MVP for lebron
Whenever I see Kobe with hair...I realize that even though his jersey reads #24....he's still #8 on the inside. Lol
#KB24EVER
I hope Luka is the next Kobe
Rewatching before the hall of fame Kobe was too cold it’s crazy the amount disrespect this man receives
Poor delonte west
Why'd Kobe treat Lebron's dad like that?
These are lebron numbers wow
This was the first time I saw Kobe play live, here's a short piece I wrote about it for Mamba Day: medium.com/@stephenngao/824-words-describing-my-first-ever-lakers-game-attended-d5321ba8627
Never forget KD joined a 73 win team after blowing a 3-1 lead to them
Manny P nice try on trying to get likes
Manny P as in Manny Paquioa???
boston commentators hating like crazy
Ah
4:15 Dork announcer
he is abusing gerald green lmao
That was not a walk.
But with no pierce.allen amd garnett
ASSASIN.
