This season broke him. He literally carried these bums to the playoffs.
Kobe and Lebron are the only players I've seen carry multiple garbage teams into the playoffs (Kobe 06, 07, 12, 13; Lebron 06-10, 18). Give either of them in their prime any NBA roster and they'll figure out some way to get them to the postseason.
@@geordiejones5618 There are more than those two.
@@mike.cdn7212 I guess jordan and bird? But thats it. I said ANY roster. Like a roster with no center and no real point. A roster that would go 0-82 without them thats Lebron and Kobe. I can't speak to anyone else cuz I didnt watch them.
@@geordiejones5618 Jordan had a great team what are you talking about
@@QnzColdest He’s talking about Jordan in the 80s
People forgot how well he was playing before the torn Achilles! Like dude was still athletic and savvy. Mid range monster!
I don't care what anyone says but individually, not putting team's success, Kobe was the best player in the world in 2013🤷he literally has no flaws in his game
Purple & Gold I understand but Lebron averaged 27 on 57% shooting & 41% from 3 that year. That type of efficiency is unheard of & still unheard of from a wing player. It don’t matter if Lebron midrange, footwork & post game wasn’t as polished as Kobe, Lebron made every shot in the paint & can shoot a 3, that’s hard to guard man
@D T that speaks to his greatness not Lebrons fault he’s muscular he’s very skilled at penetrating to the rim
@@cornelius8124 dude no. Not in 2013.

Kobe Bryant's game could translate extremely well in ANY era because he mastered the fundamentals.

This is the year the league started going to 3s and Kobe was an animal imagine his 03 year in this era
Underrated season , He was 34 years old and carrying the Lakers
Absolutely! Unfortunately THAT was the problem. At that age he should've been coasting like LeBron until the playoffs. Kupchak failed him that season.
@@Bran-Da-Don Coasting? They wouldn't have made the playoffs then. Kupchak didn't fail him, they ran into Spurs and got destroyed by a much better team. Even a rested Kobe would not be able to beat that Spurs team by himself, and they never made the playoffs again, until The King showed up...
@@The3pleThreat The reason why I said that Kupchak failed him is because he swung for the fences by trading for Dwight Howard who had just come off back surgery and a broken down Steve Nash with very little depth behind them. Kobe should not have been put in that position at 34 and in his 17th season to carry that team over the course of 70 games. It was unfair to him. Although we'll never know I would like to think that he would have aged a lot more gracefully his last 3 years if not for that injury which literally made him an old man overnight.
Yea it was too much
@@Bran-Da-Don the nba never gave kobe any stars they tried everything they could to stop him from getting more rings and he still got 2 more his whole career after shaq they made sure he never had a good team thats why they started making super teams too beat kobe and kobe still beat the super team celtics that beat lebrons super team heat
If it weren't for that achilles and the injuries that followed, he'd maintain this level at least another 3 years. Man was a brilliant ball player. Its truly awful we can never hear him talk about the game again.
I don't THINK he would maintain this level for the next 3 years, I KNOW he would've
Probably would have gotten another ring. Lakers would have gotten somebody else if not for Kobe's achilles after that it was over.
Datoni offense put so much wear on his body at that age not to mention the whole team was injured pretty much
I think he definitely would’ve came close to Kareem passing him in points as for championships I don’t think so Lebron was on the come up then the warriors so it would’ve been hard
honestly if it didnt happen at the warriors game it wouldve happened eventually, kobe put way too much load in his body, with him aging as well it was a matter of time until an injury like this would happen
This was my senior year of hs. Broke my leg in October and my mom got me league pass for me. I got to watch all 82 laker games and this masterpiece of a season. Every game. He was still a top 3 player and so fun to watch. I remember watching the Achilles game thinking he’s gonna be fine cause he got hit like 3 times earlier that game and just got back up. Little did I know this would be his last great season 😢😢 I feel fortunate I was able to watch it. RIP LEGEND
Same but acl
Kobe Tribute video I made guys! What do you think!
ua-cam.com/video/LTPV7zrvo_U/v-deo.html
Man U said it brother …I remember him
Getting knocked down a couple times and getting back up I thought he would be fine too I never thought he would get seriously injured
As good as bron and kd were back then I still say kobe was the best until the Achilles
This was the season his post footwork, pivots and fade shots were on level 100. God mode
Facts
never forget when kobe was playing 45+ mins a game down the stretch right up until the achilles game against gsw to will his wounded team into the playoffs. ... there will never be another kobe bryant
i'll never forgive d'antoni for playing him that much
Exactly. If Kobe didnt tear the Achilles. I think he would have carried the Lakers to the finals vs lebron. He was on a mission.
@Brayan...
No
Kobe was still trying get a ring we willing to do what ever the team need
@@mrovalle231yep
People forget Kobe was looking even better than he did in 2011 and 2012. Literally improving with age before that injury. Elite of the elite
Facts
Kobe's bag was ridiculous!!! How can someone look at this and not see the skill level is ELITE Mastery!!!
the greatest contested shot maker I have ever seen
Without any convo
Hakeem Olajuwon + Michael Jordan = Kobe Bryant
@@brendankelly2653 yes, his footwork was the best I had ever seen
No question
Him , kyrie , and Devin Booker is tough too if you really watch him
They act like Bron was the only one in year 17 ballin.. they love to sweep Kobe under the rug. Can’t hide GREATNESS!! #VINO #MAMBA🐍🍷
All years aren’t created equal Bron has more miles on his body in year 17 than Kobe did it’s a difference
Stretch why tf did he have more miles? He spends millions to make his body apt to play.
@@stretch273 Sure he might have a slight edge in miles. Factor the 20+ nagging injuries Kobe had degrading his body in his career I’d say his year 17 performance was more impressive all without playing with a Superstar/All-NBA player in AD to shoulder the load..
@@josuealvarez665 could say the same for Kobe 1st 3 rings
@@stretch273 no you can't. He got drafted/traded by the lakers before they traded for Shaq. Lebron joined the 3rd best played in the league and brought along another top 10 in Chris bosh. But you right, Kobe should have taken steroids like LeBron then he would have never gotten injured.
Probably his most underrated season of his 30s
Which was his best age 30 season? Probably 08-09 no doubt huh
@@SimornM if you’re talking about his most accomplished and successful season post Shaq, then sure. But, if you look at everything he was able to do this season at the age of 34, it was incredible. The only reason why this season is underrated is because of its disappointing ending, with him tearing his Achilles and missing the playoffs after fighting so hard to get them there.
@D T idk 09-10 he was battling various injuries and wasn't showing the quickness he had the year prior. Yeah he had game winners but they were necessary
I appreciate greatness here it's krazy to me that everybody tried to act as he wasn't that dude like i feel as if he's the first player in history to get shit talked about him for winning with an all time great player in shaq but towards everybody else it wasn't that same energy

True nba fans knows how great this season was for Kobe!
The greatest player I’ve even watched. I’ll never be as hyped for a team or a player as I was watching a Kobe lakers team. Constantly at the edge of my seat.
The man averaged 27ppg 6apg 6rpg while going thru injuries to his starters 3 different coaching changes played 78 games and single handily dragging what was left of that team to the playoffs at age 34 this was clearly the best season An All time Great can have considering the cards he was dealt with
And had 8x 40+ point games and 11x 10+ assists games. The dude was an absolute juggernaut still at age 34. One can only imagine how the tail-end of his career would have gone, had he not sustained that Achilles tear. A 6th championship undoubtedly was still in reach for him.
Kobe was unreal. I watched every game of his career and was obsessed with his mastery. In my humble opinion, I think he has the best footwork (nod to Hakeem) and midrange game ever. I also think he has the best reverse layup/dunk creativity. Amazing player! This guy means a ton to me and my family.
His footwork was impeccable, Jordan had the best mid-range game, and Kobe definitely is one of the best in game dunkers in NBA History. In the 2000s Vince Carter and Kobe Bryant were the two best in game dunkers in the game as far as creativity.
And on top of all that, he was among the most intense, skilled defenders in league history!
He's the greatest difficult shot maker in NBA history
Kobes the GOAT imo. Him and Mike.
Some of these games this season i honestly thought the lakers were gonna lose ... and then Kobe would do some magic trick like down by 9 and hit 3 straight 3 pointers smh Legendary 😢😢
🐐 shit
Easily the most skilled player of all time
Kobe and Kyrie forsure
Truly an underrated season for sure.
Kobe was carrying this team to the playoffs on his own back this season #ripkobe 💛💜💛💜💛 #kobe
i was a senior in high school when kobe tore his achillies.... never gonna forget that
Me too, saw every game that year
Happened my junior year, woke up the next morning to the terrible news I literally lost it and was mad all day @ school.
@@Mike24Williams happened my eighth grade year
Same brotha what a blow it was
Me to
Greatest since MJ, closest he saw modern spacing in his 20 year career and he was an injury-riddled 34 years old when he saw it. Can only imagine how many would call him the GOAT if his prime occurred in post 2015 NBA
Underrated comment
Facts!
Kobe might’ve overtrained too on top of being injury riddled if you listen to Tim Grover compare Jordan’s and Kobe’s training methods
@Louis Williams...
Harder vs Smarter
@USH...
Good point for real lol.
There’s something else about that word is why it gets thrown around so much...I’m tellin u.
Don’t knows what it is,but there’s something esoteric i bet
One of his most underrated seasons! Year 17, 34 years old
I really could make this argument for his whole career but just to speak on this season itself, this is one of the greatest individual seasons in NBA history when put in proper perspective.
- Being 33-34 with the accumulated wear and tear he was fighting through
- The league killing the CP3 trade
- An already failing experiment of Dwight, Nash & D'Antoni
- Jim Buss being an idiot in every sense, proven by the aforementioned moves he made that didn't complement Kobe's game at all
- Finally, the way the game was starting to transition to what it is now and Kobe finding his way to be impactful within it
He persevered through way more than most even realize, largely because ppl only look at the final outcome and ignore the context of situations.
Facts
His midrange game was simply perfect
Kobe’s game was so smooth like an artist with the paintbrush! Inside/outside crossover, fadeaway, mid range killer..
Would’ve gotten knocked out in the first round of the playoffs anyways. Not hating but that Lakers team stood no chance against the Spurs
@@romeoramirez4980 Shit they for sure could of won at least one if he didn't get injured
@@romeoramirez4980 kobe was spurs killer ... everything was possible
@@gzk13kc28 lmao not in 2013. If not for Allen they would have 6 rings and time would be 6-0 in the finals. But thankfully ray hit that shot 😂
@@romeoramirez4980 yeah sure...but kobe was not in playoffs
Kobe gave you 27, 6 and 6 in year 17 at 34. The last 20 games carried the lakers to the playoffs
Call me crazy but I really don’t give AF
This was the best year 17 season in NBA history
Pure blasphemy

Stop it, you know what you're doing. LeBron was better in his 17th season than Kobe ever was in his career...

I saw you said "numbers don't lie" before you edited your comment. Numbers also say LeBron's 17th season was clearly better than Kobe's 17th season haha. Every version of LeBron after his rookie season is better than any version of Kobe.
Imagine if he didn't tear his achilles that year....
He would have retired this year thats why he wore 24, won another ring and finals mvp maybe 2 with how superstars playing together now and number 1 on the all time scoring list.
@@joegrice2007 Do you seriously think Kobe would’ve won another chip at his age while players like Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry are in the league?
@@VinhNguyen-gk4jq if he was still on the Lakers then no doubt he'd win another ring.
@@calebangell77 which lakers though? The 2020 Lakers? It’s unrealistic to think that if Kobe was still in the league today that this lakers team would be the same.
We would’ve got our heat vs Lakers finals
that was true definition of heroic effort. dude was carrying his team to the finish line then injury ruined it. if only we could had witnessed his beast mode in the playoffs, no doubt they could still forced the spurs to a game 7 series and perhaps a lebron vs. Kobe that we didn't have. but still you leave a mark in this basketball world. rip mamba. mamba out!
So glad you did this season man. Felt like Kobe was given everything he had this season. Broke my heart when he tore his Achilles. Mamba forever! 🐐
Bro that Toronto game was just ridiculous, 4 game winners in one game. How people can watch this and not put him in their top 5 i’ll never understand
This season was pure anxiety.
Honestly, start to finish
On god. Kobe was willing this team to the playoff until his injury
@@blvckzulu9469 I remember the 10 game stretch before his injury the Lakers had to win basically every game to make it to that 8th seed, which seemed impossible at the time because of the injuries and Howard being fkn ass
Kobe willed those games to the W it was fkn incredible
People are gonna complain you named it the “last great season” but let’s face it, this really was the last amazing season of his career. No disrespect to Kobe at all but age takes away every career. We will love Kobe forever and know he is a legend no matter what but those few years was his retirement journey to let everyone ease into a NBA without him. Plus the teams he had weren’t made to go far into the playoffs. Another great video man keep them coming 🔥👍🔥 Rest is paradise Kobe Bean Bryant ❤️
Nobodies complaining everybody in the world knows this
except that nobody is complaining at all lmao
Age didn't take him. He was playing great before his achilles injury. He had alot left in the tank at age 34. 27ppg on 47% FG
@@ringsornothing9370 True he was he skilled and could adapt his game anytime
@@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t actually I disagree, he was still great after the acl. You forget he was averaging 25+ in 2015 and ended the season at 22ppg. It's the lakers management that gave up on him, they gave him the worst roster in the league and went into tanking basically forcing him to retire.
He was the best player from 2001 to 2013
His whole career
Duncan was better in 03 and LeBron was better in 13
@Travis Tchokotieu u sound crazy kobe was better then shaq and anybody else since he was in high school
@Travis Tchokotieu well shaq himself called kobe the best player during all of those years.
@Travis Tchokotieu shaq was dominant but fouling him out and forcing him to the line was a viable strategy that would’ve worked if it wasn’t for Kobe coming in clutch. Kobe was the main one that was unstoppable vs stronger competition in the playoffs while shaq was dominating the finals vs weaker competition.
One of my favourite Kobe seasons. Electrifying every arena’s crowd at age 34 right before the achilles injury. Elite on both ends of the floor. My GOAT FOREVER
The real goat
This season reminds me of 97/98 MJ season. Both older, post their prime athleticism, but master fundamentals of mid range shooting and used it to score.
Just wish Kobe had a good enough team to win
Kobe was moving way better than 97-98 Jordan
My favorite highlight at 4:05
"Under 3 minutes to play, shotclock is down to 5, Bryant goes to work... Bryant, the drive! OH HO! KOBE BRYANT ON THE RACK ATTACK!"
This gives me chills every time, such cool moment and great commentary.
How quickly they forgot...
Top 3
Even I forgot, and I admire this man
Kobe was constantly knocking down shots. Man, he was a monster, he knew how to win, and win he did. I love Kobe games please continue to bring us "Kobe's babies" games. We're loving it. Thanks, Maxamillion711 for bringing us these "Kobe's Babies" we're happy to see these games. It's just like Kobe is still here with us. He's the Goat and a Legend of our time. Thank you Kobe and thank you God for blessing Kobe to be with us and his family #GirlDad.
This is not basketball... this is art.
Just a reminder a 35 year old willed his team to a playoffs this year.
Just fundamentally technically sound with his footwork. Still can get where he wanted to on the court. So many tough finishes/shots this clip.
If it weren’t for injuries who knows what this man could of done in the playoffs…
💯
Jordan won a chip at 35
I always bring up this season when people was acting like Lebron’s 2020 season was the only time they seen a player play at that level at year 17
Kobe and Kareem were both playing at a really high level in their 17th season.
facts...
The media loves to sweep that season under the rug like it never existed.
Lebrons 17 year was different from both of them he has more miles on his body at this point than both of those guys
Stretch why did he have more miles on his body lmao. Is this the same body he spends millions of dollars on to keep in shape and NOT get miles on?
This is the best basketball I’ve ever seen. I’m 29 been watching since a kid and have yet to see someone as good as Kobe was this season 🔥😮💨 you just had to be there 💯
Bro coming from a lebron fan this is actually just insane. We can talk about efficiency and numbers but look at the difficulty of shots. This dude isn’t even beating you with crazy athleticism. Fundamentals, footwork, getting to his spots and great body control around the rim. Wow
It was such a joy and frustration watching Kobe drag that team to the playoffs. I wanted this team to succeed so much. The last stretch of games where he was playing 40+ minutes a night was simply legendary stuff.
Kobe's offensive arsenal and skill were on full display... it's a shame that he suffered that career-ending Achilles injury, there's no doubt in my mind that he would be the NBA's all-time leading scorer right now. At that time, the league had begun transitioning to an era of athleticism and youth, but Kobe had the ability to adapt his game and he still put on a show. I have NEVER seen a player excite an away crowd as Kobe did... he had the fans going NUTS in Atlanta and that was a testament to his style of play. Kobe may have been known for his mastery of the midrange, but he could SHOOT... he had range. After his Achilles injury, he adjusted his game to the perimeter since his mobility was limited and his percentage may not have been great, but if he played in today's league, I believe he would fit right in because he was such a high-volume shooter. The most complete player in the game, his ONLY flaw was his inefficiency of shot selection, but there's no other player who can make the degree of difficulty of shots that he did and that's what made him lethal.
Single handedly willed this team to playoffs that year.
Man you hear me!
I strongly believe if Kobe didn't get hurt, they would've had a shot at upsetting the Spurs in that 2013 1st round
Yup. He was on a mission.

Crazy because this was the season I actually sat down and watched pretty much every single game. Tough time in my life back then. Man I would be stressed. Kobe was HIM. Brings back great memories of me sitting in my room alone watching this man shred everybody
Facts
He was in really good shape. in the off-season of 2011-2012, he went to Germany and received surgery. Then in the next 2 years he played in a very high level, like 80% of 07 season
Here’s what makes this all the more confusing. He actually had the procedure in Germany in the summer of 2011. And I remember the season after 11-12, I was worried cuz he kind of looked like he lost a step. But 12-13 he was moving like he hadn’t since maybe 2007. HOW? What? I’m confused cuz this had never happened with any other play. 2010-2012 Kobe was clearly slowing down. What happened in the summer of 12?
@@AnatolianArmenianthe surgery really helped him a lot. RIP

@@jetbryantgmbm nah bro there is no way u can make a case for kobe sry great player tho
It’s hard watching this man 💔 this shit fell like yesterday and we still have to live with the fact this man gone 😣
It’s crazy the 2012 olympics and 2013 season is my fav version of Kobe. He had the one arm sleeve on the right arm going. He had the swagger on the court and his IQ just outing everyone else. He still had a bounce and could slam on folks but mostly at this point used his footwork and shooting to score. A lot like MJ his last couple of years with the Bulls. Sad that towards the end of that season he got injured carrying that poorly made team.
Last great year of my life, tbh.Wish i could go back to that year. Kids, appreciate your years while you can.
It was amazing to watch Kobe this year. Wasn't young but still dominate off skill, footwork, head fakes and guile. Literally willed that Lakers team to a playoff spot until his body broke down
Bro I just know I’m my heart he would’ve had the greatest HOF speech of all time and it sucks we’lol never get to hear it
Wow, almost a year later, my heart still sinks a little whenever I see or hear something about Kobe Bryant. I still can't believe this man gone. Gone, but never, ever forgotten.
I’m so thankful I was able to watch him play in Philly in this season. It was the only time I saw him play in person, and he did not disappoint. Miss you Bean
The reverse layup he did was absolutely ridiculous and hard to comprehend in person. I hope it’s in this highlight reel.
Can some PLEASE explain because honestly THIS IS MINDBLOWING. I’ve never seen it in nba history, at age 34 Kobe came into this season looking younger than he had since 2008. HOW? How did he move like this? I know you guys remember his 11-12 season and how a lot of us thought he was starting to look slower. But 12-13 he looked much more spry , light on his feet, quick first step. The mind body connection was just top notch.
His championship seasons he didn't look like this. Should've went to Germany sooner
Everytime I watch Kobe it gives me chills, he made the game look effortless. RIP Black Mamba
2012- 2013 season was one of his best years ever . He literally was willing us to the playoffs by himself . He was 34 years old in year 17 playing 39 minutes a game averaging 27 ppg . Literally put his body through hell until it couldnt take it anymore and he tore his Achilles. Then after tearing his achilles he gets up and makes 2 freethrows to help win us a game against the warriors to get a playoff spot . Never seen anything like itt !!!! Greatest of all time 🐐!!! Rip Mamba 🙏
Kobes so good he can ballhog and still dominate. His skill is unmatched he's the best ever skilled player. His ego ruined a couple championships but there's no denying he was magical
No Disrespect But Every Season Kobe Was In Was A Goat Season. RIP THE GOAT #8 #24
He works so hard every single play man
2013 Kobe was the most skilled basketball player ive ever seen. He put on a clinic every night. Probably the most fun I had watching a single nba player for an entire regular season.
That shot vs Clippers meanwhile biting his shirt. ICONIC.
I will die on the hill that a healthy Kobe would have knocked down the Spurs round 1, Warriors in round 2, Thunder in the WCF if Beverley didnt also hurt Russ, and Lebron Wade Bosh and Ray Allen in the finals, getting his 6th ring. His achilles heel was his pride, and his pride ended up taking form in a torn achilles. Poetically heartbreaking.
Year 17 people 🙌 Kobe the GOAT
Exactly kobe is the real goat
I can watch Kobe play all day.
It's crazy how explosive he was during this season. The injury really did break him
Man the first 10 mins feel like a And 1 mix tape he doing it all
8️⃣🐐2️⃣4️⃣
Had he not got injured we would've won the championship, why? Kobe said in an interview that season that nobody can out will him and gonna stand in his way of doing so. He over killed himself and that's what caused the injury. The best player to EVER step foot in the NBA; Kobe Bryant
Facts kobe the real goat no matter how hard the media tries too make the world forget
I'm a kobe fan, and even I forgot how truly great he was. RIP Mamba
His style of play was so epic!
One of my favorite Kobe’s season! RIP
kobe had 99 iq this year everything he did was so crafty even the way he drives in on people
This one right here is special.
breaks my heart every time I watch him
Idk what to say Kobe , that 2013 season blew us all away that was our one last ride in full form thank you For all the memories Mamba RIP we love you.
From 2002-2013 he was the greatest basketball player in the world. (Some can argue for 2001). But there was nobody close. Yes guys were faster, stronger, better 3PT. But they didn’t have the total package. 1 on 1 basketball he was the greatest to ever do it! Others were better team basketball players. The whole league knew what it was! 1 assassin, 1 person who would guard the other teams best player and 1 man who was fearless with the ball in his hands in the final seconds. MF’s can argue with themselves. I ain’t doing no back n forth in these comments 😂. KOBE GOAT
hell nah 2012 and 2013 lebron was on another level 2002 to 2010 yea
@@techmen-je4moain’t going back n forth. Take Lebron sack out ya mouth. Go back n watch their battles during the season and all star game.
@@YoungWestin kobe owned him
@@techmen-je4mo naw to 2012. Lebron damn sure wasn’t better than Kobe in 2011.
It will never ever feel real to me that he's gone...
Same here fam, I don't think it will ever sink in that he's no longer here with us.
I remember the 10 game stretch before his injury the Lakers had to win basically every game to make it to that 8th seed, which seemed impossible at the time because of the injuries and Howard being fkn ass.
Kobe willed those games to the W it was fkn incredible
Thank.god someone remembers that run. We were counted out. That stretch was amazing. Every game was epic.
@Brayan yea he averaged a triple double those last games it was insane lol
Remembered that , also willed his team to win against spurs , the team they would've faced on The first round of the playoffs.
he was still the best player in the league that year
Oddly. This was the season I fell in love with kobe's game. He tried to lead that team every way possible
Pl make a Lebron 2017-18 goat szn. He averaged 33 points,8.5 assists and 9 rebounds and the playoffs were 'glorious'!!!
Trash
This was smoothess years for Kobe game handles sharp off the dribble jumper was sharp opened a lot more options for Kobe offensively
