how can you not respect this dudes game. I am a jazz fan and I hate the lakers but I can't help but respect the way this dude balls. Kobe is an assassin.
If only Bynum could have stayed healthy they could have won it in 2008 and continued to compete after 2010. Injuries have really plagued Kobe and his teams for the last half decade.
+eskimo289 For a brief time, Bynum legitimately had a case as the best center in the league. He was good defensively and so far beyond any other centers offensive capabilities that you couldn't even come close to comparing another centers offensive game to his. It really is a shame that his passion for the game faded along with his injuries.
This video is evidence that Kobe Bryant is the best tough jumpshot maker in the history of basketball. Who else could have made those fadeaways and deep threes after a full regular season and playoffs, albeit with a fractured finger and bad knees. Top 2 all-time player.
bro i have been looking at basketball for a long time. i played a little of college and i coach. i have been through 3 1/2 eras of the nba and i have seen a lot of great players come and go. i will say this if you are talking about kobe all around as a player i have a couple ahead of him. now if you are talking about kobe the scorer then thats another story. i have kobe top 5 best ever when it comes to scoring.
If we only judged players based on footwork. Kobe would be the GOAT. This man would put you in trance with his beautiful footwork and strike you so hard and fast like a flash of lightning. This dudes flair was off the charts. Even his layups were harder than some soft dunkers.
i would not be looking at kobe highlights on youtube if i did not like to see kobe play. yo did you see the game last night against the clippers? kobe was nice. he and bynum had a hell of a game.
In 06 they both were fantastic statistically Kobe averaged 35 points 5 rebounds 5 assists and 2 steals. LeBron averaged 31 points 7 rebounds 7 assists 2 steals. But Kobe left the biggest mark on that year. 81 point game, outscored the mavs through 3 himself, longest streak of 40 point games ever, game winning shots, 50 point game streak...NBA League Pass subscriptions shot up when Kobe was doing what he did. People felt like they couldn't miss a minute of him. That gives him the edge in my book.
I remember that moment at 9:48 in this video that person yelling “ TRAVEL!” Yeah as Ray Allen was bumping Kobe and almost bumped him out of bounds. lol and was very satisfying to see him hit that difficult three and turn to the crowd.
Kobe's the most technically gifted player ever. I can't think of one weakness in his game when he's 100% healthy. Kobe's moves and techniques are just amazing. He can shoot pretty much any shot, anywhere. I believe Jordan's the better overall player due to his freak athleticism, but Kobe is right behind him. But, Kobe's skill level is higher than Jordan's all things considered.
there is no arguing how great kobe is...i mean he's top 5 all time...hell top 3 to me....there is no other player who takes over games like this on a consistent basis and he's doing it with JUMPERS...he may take alot of shots but real laker fans know that there are game when he takes like 2 shots in the 1st and defers to his teamates and when they are reluctant to take shots or are not making the shots they are given thats when he does what he does...THE MOST SKILLED PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY
Played like the best player in basketball history during that Suns series...if you fail to see that you haven't watched enough of your favorite player to see the huge gap in talent between any other player and Kobe that year.
wait, what??? look, im like teh biggest kobe fan there is, but you've gotta watch yourself on that one. there's a bunch of kobe haters out there that will bash you for saying that.
Don't tell me Kobe isn't better than Jordan that is like 10 games worth of highlights and about half of them beat Jordans best shots all time. Kobe is always open because he is unguardable. GOAT!!!!!!
@mageplasm1 when people say "shooter" they usually mean "pure shooter" I agree with you though Kobe is great at creating his own jumper and hitting contested jumpers/fadeaways.
mama there goes that man
Can't wait for my lakers to get back in shape, Kobe GOAT
I remember Jeff Van Gundy at some points when Kobe made shots with people on his face he'd be like "Mark, that was Hand Up Man DOWN!" I love that guy.
I miss this laker team with a passion! That was the definition of a REAL team. The 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 laker squad.
RIP kobe and gigi :(
Once Kobe is on fire u cant stop him no body can
RIP. Been watching this video for years
this is what GREATNESS ALL ABOUT..
9:50 someone says "Stay on him Ray!" Bryant proceeds to drill the stepback 3 through smothering defense. Mamba stares down said someone.
Man Kobe was the most complete player ever
kobe is the best player play after jordan's retirement :))
The definition of “you’re watching a master at work.”
kobe the clutches player ever
the real greatness is on kobes hand
how can you not respect this dudes game. I am a jazz fan and I hate the lakers but I can't help but respect the way this dude balls. Kobe is an assassin.
back at watching these videos all over again now that kobe is out and God knows when he'll be coming back.
man those celtics were hard on D
There's no way lebron is better than kobe
keep yo ring
Wind Cloud read my name
In 2019 and lebron is still not better than Kobe
Fuck no he aint
Kobe would smoke lebron
The greatest midrange player this game has ever seen. I always hoped that he would compete in the three point contest.
That step back 3 in the corner at 9:50, And then the stair down to the fan after he hits nothin but nylon. Love that shit
HE IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME IN MY EYES IN MY ERA THAT I AM IN. NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT NO DEBATE PERIOD
Boy that deadeye has to be on gold lol
Djamal Sufi Hall of Fame
Kobe was in his prime the first year he wore 24, he said he was three times better than no. 8 I think he changed it to say he one up on michael's 23
the best footwork in the leauge. no one ever did except mj
I love seeing D-Wade saying Damn when Kobe hits that three. He knows about that Kobe Bryant three baby
If only Bynum could have stayed healthy they could have won it in 2008 and continued to compete after 2010. Injuries have really plagued Kobe and his teams for the last half decade.

KOBE THE BEST!!!!!

wowww, watching this reminds me how much the triangle offense helped us. this is why we need phil.
If we only judged players based on footwork. Kobe would be the GOAT. This man would put you in trance with his beautiful footwork and strike you so hard and fast like a flash of lightning. This dudes flair was off the charts. Even his layups were harder than some soft dunkers.
It's at the point where its not fair anymore. He is amazing
Kobe will never be Jordan but He will always be the one and only KOBE BRYANT
Top 3 sg ever
1. Michael Jordan
2. Kobe Bryant
3. Julius Irving
+Dayon Guinyard 3.d wade
Yriyah Yriyah Julius Erving was a sf dude. Either way you forgetting Wade and Iverson
RIP. Too son.
🙌 Kobe Forever 🙌
Those last five seconds.. CHILLS
wow I don't get how anyone can hate on him. This video was SICK
Thanks for posting ... very cool

i luvd the looks on the suns fans faces after that shot on the baseline at 4:55
thumbs up and subscribed cool video cool quality
Amazing video, thanks.
Born to be a champion and a legend
That Phoenix series really showed his greatness.
I miss the 2008-2010 Laker squad, they had such great chemistry and understanding of eachother!
Kobe was also wearing 24 in his prime too.
Those were the days!
doesn't everyone want a ring, it's not just Kobe.
He can still do it.
I remember that moment at 9:48 in this video that person yelling “ TRAVEL!” Yeah as Ray Allen was bumping Kobe and almost bumped him out of bounds. lol and was very satisfying to see him hit that difficult three and turn to the crowd.
NBA will not be the same without Kobe/
Great job! Thank you author. K8B24 4life
I am a Kobe fan. Every time i watch these videos, i feel bad for the people guarding him, i mean com on, some of that is just not right.
Kobe's the most technically gifted player ever. I can't think of one weakness in his game when he's 100% healthy. Kobe's moves and techniques are just amazing. He can shoot pretty much any shot, anywhere. I believe Jordan's the better overall player due to his freak athleticism, but Kobe is right behind him. But, Kobe's skill level is higher than Jordan's all things considered.
GOAT. No doubt in my mind.
great vid ands music
"Hand Up...Man Still Down"!!!!!
KOBE schools ray all day.
Man Down every time no matter where the defender's hand is. Up, down, left, right is all the same
Jordan Kobe Magic Bird are basketball Gods. They are as good as it's going to get.
It's Kobe time.....
At 5:45 a fan actually hit Kobe but he was so focus that he didn’t let little stuff like that bother him
"Mama there go's that Man!!!!!!!!!!!"-Mark Jackson
"Dwyane Wade Saying: That's A Bad Man, Momma!"
Pure Greatness
+JC goat video
omg...amazing.
this video says it all.
there is no arguing how great kobe is...i mean he's top 5 all time...hell top 3 to me....there is no other player who takes over games like this on a consistent basis and he's doing it with JUMPERS...he may take alot of shots but real laker fans know that there are game when he takes like 2 shots in the 1st and defers to his teamates and when they are reluctant to take shots or are not making the shots they are given thats when he does what he does...THE MOST SKILLED PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY
kobe bryant is the best player
I'm happy that kobe fans are putting nicer and nicer music to the mixes. Can I get the name of the song?
Fisher Shoots Three : "Fail"
Kobe Shoots Three: "Good"! lmaoo Kobe is a beast
MAMA... THERE GOES THAT MAN !!
Kobe hit more tough jumpers in this one clip than lebron has hit during his entire career. lol

The Greatest.
Rip bro
Played like the best player in basketball history during that Suns series...if you fail to see that you haven't watched enough of your favorite player to see the huge gap in talent between any other player and Kobe that year.
This the best michael jordan video ever lol
KOBE!!!!
kobe bryant is king!!!!!

kobe is sick, out kold.
Dywane Wade "That's a bad man momma!" LOL
Amen To That I totally agree.
dwayne wade shaking his head saying "godammit celtics i told y'all to break kobe's nose, that's the only way you can half way stop him."
I personally hate the lakers, but Kobe is clutch and a great player. Can't hate on that man.
@T82486
nice way of putting it. people continually confuse accomplishments with skills.
wait, what??? look, im like teh biggest kobe fan there is, but you've gotta watch yourself on that one. there's a bunch of kobe haters out there that will bash you for saying that.
kobe is so awesome. on a scale from 1-10 this video is a 32 and a half
KOBE HAND UP..........STILL MANNNNNNN DOWNN
kobe has invented the quadruple threat position.
Don't tell me Kobe isn't better than Jordan that is like 10 games worth of highlights and about half of them beat Jordans best shots all time. Kobe is always open because he is unguardable.
GOAT!!!!!!
Kobe in the 2010 Playoffs:
29 PPG/6 RPG/6 APG/2 SPG/46%/47%/86%/57% TS/25 PER.
33/6/5/2/61% TS--WCSF
34/9/7/2/61% TS--WCF
29/8/5/2/1/53% TS--Finals
Amazing!
@mageplasm1 when people say "shooter" they usually mean "pure shooter" I agree with you though Kobe is great at creating his own jumper and hitting contested jumpers/fadeaways.
I feel bad for everybody who has ever guarded Kobe Bryant.
Great damn video by the way, and I can't stand Kobe as a Suns fan lol
No Love by Eminem feat. Lil Wayne was the first song.
Show Me a Good Time by Drake is the second song.
Ransom by Drake was the third song.

Music kills this video
