I've found out that my favorite athletes are the ones that make their sport seem like an art form, whether it be Roger Federer, or Tom Brady, or Lionel Messi, they all practiced their sports the way a great artist would practice their art to create a masterpiece, and Kobe is one such athlete to me
Not saying this as a Nadal guy but he beat Roger a lot and Novak slaughtered us lmao. I don't think they can be over him. I also have a bias to the artist btw. Some ppl can insert kyrie 🤮 in goat talks with this logic. Also Ronaldo teams fell off harder than Messi when they left. I'm a Brady and Kobe guy since youth. I feel like Joe and Aaron get so disrespected here and mahomes gets way too much credit for being in the easiest era to pass.
Ricky Henderson and KB were the two greatest athletes I've ever seen do their thing itf. (I saw MJ just once in '97; he had about 22-24pts@GSW) _I was @Staples in '06 the night he dropped 65 on Portland in OT._ The ticket stub has been on display in the hall for the last 15 years. :)
@@shaft9000that 65 was in 07, but yea that was one of my favorite games ever. that turnaround fade away 3 in the corner on alridge and roy in OT is one of the most ridiculous shots ive ever seen..also one of my favorite highlights.
The Mamba is a true leader. No one gave the game more of their heart and passion than Kobe Bean Bryant. It was must see TV even in the regular and preseason. What a sight to see he was. RIP
It's always going to be Mj and Kobe then everyone else. Those 2 are the best offensive players ever and ALSO the best defensive players ever. Not counting Wilt. Kobe has literally outscored teams by himself multiple times. Take this for context...KD's career high for a game 55. Kobe scored 55 in a half. If he had played the 4th quarter against Dallas he would have scored over 90.
@@zogood3495 no, he isn't saying that. Ho9n is saying Kobe would have scored at least 29 in Q4. Your math was off, as Bryant finished with more than 53 that night.

Kobe Bryant aka the Black Mamba is my all time favorite NBA player. His work ethic, drive, ambition, will to win, footwear and finesse was second to none. Happy heavenly birthday Kobe! ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
But he left out how kobe was robin during the 3 peat he also left out how Lebron owned kobe going 16-6 against him during their time together in the NBA

The media has everything to do with trying to erase his legacy that's why you have nba players keeping his legacy alive while the media is trying to destroy it
@adariusdixon8496 You people reek of selective memory loss, championing this guy as incredibly unique, exemplary, and comparable to Jordan. I trouble sullying his ethics, but this hard-working, devoted player was charged with rape. Obviously, that allegation has been expunged since no trial took place, meaning the charges were fallacious. Strange, however, that the person alleging the despicable act was mysteriously enriched by 5 million dollars; and Kobe's wife was gifted with a new diamond ring. Personally, I would rather be charged with murdering a man than raping a woman. It's such a disgusting act, a man salvaging a defenseless woman by invading her body. I would request a mask in court to conceal my identity because of the consummate embarrassment. What "man" does something so licentious, dehumanizing? If Kobe were not rich and famous, he probably would have experienced his victim's humiliation and pain in the joint, which he may or may not have liked. I digress, Kobe always had a notable center for his five chips. Jordan didn't; and don't insult his legacy by mentioning a 16.1 points per game role player, Pip-squeak, as help. Finally, Kobe would allow his inflated ego to negatively effect games. That's a tangible part of his legacy as well. He's no goat.
@@elituco6632 well we can definitel say the same thing about lebron but people consider him the goat and he has had more help than Kobe and MJ combined, Kobe can definitely be considered as a goat, Kobe is top 3 for me,
@adariusdixon8496 Are you nuts? The case was dropped because the victim refused to testify, considering that she received 5 million reasons not to. Why do you pay someone that type of bread if you're not guilty. And why did he spend another three to four million for a ring to placate his wife? Sounds like an innocent man to me. If that were my sister he raped, money wouldn't be a pacifier.
Even after his career being a mentor and the coach for Gigi’s team. This is how everyone wanted Jordan to be, but he left the game . Kobe stayed involved in the game of basketball. My goat to this day.
@@Cooldude_987who gives a shit about after retirement that means nothing for your legacy also Jordan still has a impact and is still involved to this day 20 years after retiring Kobe won't
@@simoncohen9323 I never said that what you do after retirement makes u a better player. I specifically said “My goat” cuz Im biased as a lakers fan my whole life. Also what u do after u retire definitely affects your legacy. With that being said, It cant help your “Goat” case tho.
I will never forget his competitiveness and giving it all out on the floor, even when he dislocated his finger and had it popped right back in. Just like Larry bird and Michael Jordan, he had the similar competitive spirit, which is hard to tell apart. Kobe’s drive and leadership that he showed especially in the last two Finals with Gasol as the second best is a great case for his legendary status.
I think many people call Kobe a shot chucker because they only watch individual highlights of him. What they don't watch are the actual games. Kobe would go full quarters without shooting the ball, and he would just function within the offense, and control traffick defensively. He was always moving, and he was always directing his teammates on the court, and on the bench. Kobe was always making minor adjustments to the Lakers offense, and defense. He was a student of the game despite being a masterful player. No amount of knowledge could satisfy Kobe's drive to learn more about everything in life. During a lot of Kobe's greatest scoring games, he didn't even play the entire 4th quarter, and sometimes his night ended in the 3rd quarter if his team had a huge lead. Kobe could turn on, and turn off his offensive explosions almost at will. One of the best documentaries of Kobe is called "Kobe Doin Work", and it's a true representation of who Kobe was as a player, and a leader during games, and before games in the locker room.
Kobe Bryant has one challenge. He never went to college and had to learn lots of lessons the hard way. BUT he learned them, being truly great walking among the giants of his era. Top 5 for me and an easy argument for Top 10 for anyone.
@@hardwoodthought1213 By "more," you mean more Finals loses. More super teams, took more plays off and disappeared more in the second half. Had more diva moments and traded more players, to get more superstars only to get swept more. LBJ had great longevity in a time when you only have to play half a game - less no defense - less titles - it was easy to be great in this era and he still ain't the GOAT. LBJ is not Top 10 and couldn't carry Kobe's water. Achieved less if you ask me.
@@mistwiir4011 Lol More superteams. Only 4 times in his career has a teammate made All-NBA (Wade 11/12, Kyrie 17, AD 20). Kobe had 14 seasons with an All-NBA teammate 😂 funny thing is how did LBJ always be his teams best player on superteams whilst Kobe was his own teams second best player despite no superteam? Also, Kobe had superteams in 98/04/13, lost every time More diva moments? Kobe refused to be drafted by half the league 😂 demanded trades in 00/04/07 😂 took max money when washed 😂 forced out Shaq and Jackson 😂 isolated Howard, the only superstar who ever willingly played with him 😂 raped someone and complained when the private plane LA paid for him to go to trial wasn’t good enough 😂 quit in a Game 7 after blowing a 3-1 lead to prove a point 😂 was on camera telling some college kids Bynum should be traded 😂 has half a dozen teammates openly say they disliked him 😂 But LBJ has more diva moments LMFAO 4 rings as the guy >>>> 3 rings as a second option and 2 as the guy Worse at defence yet finished 2nd in DPOY voting twice What more did Kobe achieve? 1 more ring with again backup role, that’s it. LBJ has more of virtually everything else plus the statistics 😂😂😂😂
I agree that Kobe was a better player but its close between them to say who achieved more because Lebron has 4 mvps to 1 4 fmvps to 2. More all star selection and all nba selektions BUT Kobe didnt jump from team to team and scoring titles Kobe 2 Lebron 1 but Lebron do have an assist title but Kobe has 12 all defense selection Lebron 6 and most important Kobe has 5 rings to Lebron 4. Kobe 1 3 peat Lebron 0. Lebron 6 final losses Kobe 2 and again Kobe didnt jump from team to team to form suoerteams. Kobe also saved Lebron international legacy because Lebron had lost in 04 and 06 and when Kobe came i. 08 they won again. Lebron does average better numbers then Kobe but thats also dur to the facts that the league has become so easy to scorer in the last 7-8 years
Mamba was HELL! He was such a unique talent. Not gon lie, his first couple of years I thought he was a brash cocky kid that needed to pay his NBA dues first and was not a big fan. By the time he retired he was far and away my fave player. Watching how he matured over the years and how his game evolved was enlightening. When he went from #8 to #24 was when the inner killer Mamba was on full display. He will always be sorely missed but never forgotten. Mamba forever!
So, a person accused of rape and paying off his accuser warrants this admiration. It says much about the derangement in this country. Would you be applauding him if that were your sister? I guess you would, considering you'd be sharing some of that 5 million.
@@elituco6632the girl who accused him was bragging to her friends she “f’d Kobe” and almost all famous or rich ppl pay off the settlement. It’s what their lawyers advise them to do because it’s legally the best option. If the b was really raped she’d have turned his money down and pushed for a case, not brag about it and then take a bag of loot. Also she was known to be a ho

Skap thanks for this. You're the only you tuber who recognizes Kobes greatness in your video's. As a person who believes only Michael Jordan can claim a spot over Kobe. It's refreshing to know I'm not the only one.

@skap i need more of these in my life. And my apologies in advance I hate to be that guy, but I got an idea for a video for you.

Only the real ones know it’s 1A-1B with KOBE and JORDAN. Then everybody else. This is why I love this channel. Thank you for this. The media hated Kobe, this is the real.
I lived near Kobe growing up. I went to Hatboro Horsham in the mid 90's. We had our guy, who was really good, and he matched up to Kobe a number of times over several years. He was the first person I knew who said Kobe could go straight to the NBA. He said it with a straight face to me back in, like, '96. I enjoy your videos on Kobe, and I'm glad to see you carrying this torch. The man was special.
His body could've if the Lakers organization built smarter around him. Instead they used him up to sale tickets and ran him into the ground. Specifically Jim Buss. Laker Nation will NEVER forgive him for that
The 2000-2002 & 2008-2010 playoff runs are amongst the greatest playoff runs all time. The Western Conference playoffs were an absolute gauntlet in the 2000s. It was almost always a forgone conclusion that whichever team came out the west was winning the championship. That should tell everyone how much better the Western Conference was during that time.
Imma Lebron Fan but i gotta respect the research you do and how you potray Kobes greatness he truly is a different breed. His resilience and the way he overcame adversities is unmatched i just wish we coudlve seen more seasons of him playing with an actual playoff contending team *Cough*"Chris Paul Trade"*Cough*but we will forever be robbed of that. RIP Mamba
Two things that strike me when I watch Kobe's interviews or media clips are 1) how articulate and well-spoken he was 2) how conscientious a student of NBA history he was. He clearly was very intelligent, had an inquisitive nature and loved basketball in and of itself, on top of everything else, and I think this is part of what set him apart from the rest of the pack on the grand historical scale, it wasn't just talent and work ethic.
I literally shed a tear on that last clip. It reminded me of that year we lost him. The pain is almost still the same. Thank you skap for always keeping his legacy alive. MJ and KOBE will forever be my GOATs and inspiration in life.
I played baskeball for 30 years and I fell in love with Kobe in the 2012 / 2013 season...I just didn't have the time or the passion to watch NBA like I did in the 90s... And that was my biggest "baskeball" mistake.... Basketball gave me everything and made me a better person and a true athlete and Kobe put me on another level with his game, passion, work ethics, devotion, commitment, inovation, skills, and above all what made him the GOAT in my mind, was that he shared everything what he found out in sports and in his life. He was and still is in my mind a great person and a true christian and olympian. I hope he is resting in peace and hope that I am/will be a better person because of him, and hope that he will have the same or better impact on others as well. BR RIP Caramel Cat #8 Mamba #24 Greetings from Croatia
I’ll never forget that stretch of games right before he tore his Achilles where it felt like he played every minute and the Lakers needed every last second. He WILLED that team into the playoffs. Him walking out to nail the two free throws that his team desperately needed, then walking off was one of the most inspirational things I’ve seen in sports.
I've got Jordan as the GOAT, but it's criminal how underrated Kobe has come when it comes to all-time-rankings. He really is one of those players were the per game stats and accolades alone can be quite misleading
Thank you for putting this together. I would say Kobe's case needs more context than others and you did a great job. As a huge Jordan fan who spent most of Kobe's years in this salty "who does this kid think he is?"/ "he's no Jordan!" attitude, I admittedly regret waking up to appreciate Kobe's greatness far too late in his career. But at least I did, he won me over and beyond basketball, he became an inspiring person to listen to. Rest In Peace, Kobe.
17 year Kobe was arguably the best Kobe and by extension the best basketball ever seen. He didn’t have the athleticism anymore but his game was so refined he was unstoppable and it was in the start of the modern era so his efficiency shot to career highs.
That was 47 point game against Portland in year 17. That statline was ridiculous and just an example of how inflated his stats would’ve been in the modern era.
and this is how you make the case for a player being the goat. not saying the era they played in was "weak" and the players were "plumbers. not downplaying the accomplishments of those who came before. you state the fact and present your case.
And it's a shame how they let Kobe rot in L.A. The man who helped bring the franchise back into revelance along with Shaq. Then stayed throughout the times of bad rosters and ultimately gave his body and soul for the love of the game! I remember 2014-2016 when they were calling him a "ballhog" and "always jacking up shots" and that he needed to "hang it up." I remember all of that then all of a sudden he's recieving all of this love? He should have gotten it when he was here. He needed to hear that. But with that being said, great video Skap Attack. I really appreciate that you are keeping Bean's legacy alive and disproving these lies that have been manufactured in the media. Happy Kobe Day everyone.
@@simoncohen9323 Kobe put pressure on the front office and they delivered. This was after the 06 and 07 playoffs where he felt the Lakers were not doing right by him. And they weren’t, respectfully. Plus he had a No Trade Clause so he was able to veto the trades the Lakers had worked out anyways. But they worked it out getting Pau later on in the season and went on to 3 straight Finals.
Awesome video! This is what set Black Mamba apart from the greats with the exception of Michael Jordan. Less help, work your game, lift your team mates up, play every game as much as possible and make no excuse even when loosing. I even heard when Kobe's daughter was sent in the hospital that he did not sleep at all but yet he attended work and manage to perform. Unlike Lechoke when defeat make excuses like how hard it is to be a father. Like duh all dad's do that. I am a dad as well so I know but it is unprofessional to have that excuse in working environment but yet again media keeps lifting the guy. Anyway to the real and to real people understand greatness Kobe should be at least top 5. Good job. Thank you so much.
I’m not a Kobe guy but I can’t argue the points you make. Kobe was special. I think having Shaq on his team rally helped him elevate his game in a couple of ways. First he had to fight for his shots. Second in tight games Shaq was usually on the bench so it was all on him to carry the offensive load and he absolutely carried that load well. Definitely in my top 10 no question.
Last time I watched and cried to this was 5 months ago. I just finished watching this video again today, still has me crying. God man I miss watching Kobe play ball man. Kobe Bryant is basketball, Kobe Bryant is L.A. man. Smfh man Kobe you are truly missed by millions of us man. Great work "Skap"!! Keep em coming bro. KOBE BEAN BRYANT ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!!!!
No doubt. Skap gives Kobe his credit by spitting facts that Lebron fans try to discredit. Lebron fans try to prove that he's better by dragging Kobe's name through the dirt rather than giving solid facts.
A couple of years ago i would have agreed but at this point i think Kobe get the respect he deserve and i think top 5 is very fair even top 3 you could argue 🔥
Couldnt watch MJ growing up. But i enjoyed watching Kobe, and to me he was my 🐐. Mj still the undisputed GOAT. But Kobe inspired me and i actually got to see him
Thank you for protecting the TRUTH and organizing the facts in such an effective way. This channel is a great asset to fight the corporate propaganda machine and uphold Kobe’s legacy.
I love Kobe he definitely deserves goat consideration, but you can't argue for Kobe without shading other players.. I peep what you doing.. Kobe is 1 of the 3 best players I've witnessed in my lifetime, I won't argue his rank, instead I'll celebrate him without being disrespectful to anybody else.. there is no such thing as a perfect player, but I saw many games where Kobe looked like he was.. HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY MAMBA💛💜 We miss you still and always will 🙏🏿😞🥹🕊️
@Skap Attack i appreciate you starting this channel, your approach, the humor, and the depth! Your edits are always on point! Kobe has been and will always be my favorite player ever! He is in my pyramid of greatness consisting of Kareem, MJ, and Kobe... everyone else is outside it! Keep grinding the videos, much love and gratitude for ya my brother
I am The Only One, Who could possibly make as a compelling case and analysis for Kobe as The Goat. I LOVE this video. Sir, if You never make another basketball video, You don't have to... because this is a masterpiece. Kobe The Goat
MJ and Kobe were the two most exciting players to ever play in the NBA. Their killer instinct and commitment to winning was unmatched. The game may never see another Kobe.

Mr. 81 and a terror on the defense, One of the few Hoopers that made me love the game. Kobe, Iverson, Jordan. I believe, that Kobe had the most difficult path to create his Dynasty. He proved that he could win as equals with Shaq at such a young age and then had to start all over from scratch to prove that he could win without Shaq and which he did. He got his own back 2 back Championships Without a top 75 player all time on his team🤯 in little time. Wilts 100 points in a game is our Kobe's 81 points. And the Lakers needed every bit of Kobe to win that game. The greatest scoring game I've ever seen. Literally when out to shoot hoops after that game saying "Kobe"! Talk about heart, toughness, and determination shooting free throws on his own will when he tore his Achilles and knocked them 2 free throws down was "Iconic" and "Inspirational" The heart of a real Champion, Laker, King of LA🐐
My older sister once told me I talked like my step dad. I responded I've never wanted to be like no man other than Kobe Bryant 😂 That was my hero and still is 💯
Great video dude Kobe is one of the most disrespected players by the media. ESPN bullshit rankings always place him outside the top 5 all time which is unbelievable. Most of the players who actually played against him say he's top 2 if not the best player of all time. He's the best ever in my eyes.
My absolute pleasure! Nothing enrages me more than hearing bums on mass media outlets or teenage scrubs on twitter disparaging him. I can’t let it go without responding in someway. Many thanks to you for tuning in to the channel and for repping Kobe 🙏❤️
this man makes the best damn videos.....i couldnt stand kobe when he played, cause he was so damn good....now i have nothing but respect for the true number 2 overall
I’ve always had Kobe top 5, and he’s always been my favorite athlete of all time. But I’ve usually had him at 3 or 4. As time has passed and with the more research I do, I have moved him to 2. Just below Jordan.
No matter how much the corporate media try to erase Kobe's legacy, he will never be forgotten 🔥

You are doing the memory of Bryant right. Good job Skap!
Can't be understated the man is doing a service.
The numerical research, editing work, choice of highlights and such is masterclass work. 🔥 Kobe's memory deserves nothing less.
Never forget!
Goood Lord!!!! He surely is.
I've found out that my favorite athletes are the ones that make their sport seem like an art form, whether it be Roger Federer, or Tom Brady, or Lionel Messi, they all practiced their sports the way a great artist would practice their art to create a masterpiece, and Kobe is one such athlete to me
Not saying this as a Nadal guy but he beat Roger a lot and Novak slaughtered us lmao. I don't think they can be over him.
I also have a bias to the artist btw. Some ppl can insert kyrie 🤮 in goat talks with this logic. Also Ronaldo teams fell off harder than Messi when they left. I'm a Brady and Kobe guy since youth. I feel like Joe and Aaron get so disrespected here and mahomes gets way too much credit for being in the easiest era to pass.
Ricky Henderson and KB were the two greatest athletes I've ever seen do their thing itf. (I saw MJ just once in '97; he had about 22-24pts@GSW)

It's always going to be Mj and Kobe then everyone else. Those 2 are the best offensive players ever and ALSO the best defensive players ever. Not counting Wilt.

@adariusdixon8496 You people reek of selective memory loss, championing this guy as incredibly unique, exemplary, and comparable to Jordan. I trouble sullying his ethics, but this hard-working, devoted player was charged with rape. Obviously, that allegation has been expunged since no trial took place, meaning the charges were fallacious. Strange, however, that the person alleging the despicable act was mysteriously enriched by 5 million dollars; and Kobe's wife was gifted with a new diamond ring. Personally, I would rather be charged with murdering a man than raping a woman. It's such a disgusting act, a man salvaging a defenseless woman by invading her body. I would request a mask in court to conceal my identity because of the consummate embarrassment. What "man" does something so licentious, dehumanizing? If Kobe were not rich and famous, he probably would have experienced his victim's humiliation and pain in the joint, which he may or may not have liked. I digress, Kobe always had a notable center for his five chips. Jordan didn't; and don't insult his legacy by mentioning a 16.1 points per game role player, Pip-squeak, as help. Finally, Kobe would allow his inflated ego to negatively effect games. That's a tangible part of his legacy as well. He's no goat.
@@elituco6632 well we can definitel say the same thing about lebron but people consider him the goat and he has had more help than Kobe and MJ combined, Kobe can definitely be considered as a goat, Kobe is top 3 for me,
He was found not guilty. After the fact, the woman has numerous semen found in the DNA. Everyone has a past, at least he didn't lie like others.
@adariusdixon8496 Are you nuts? The case was dropped because the victim refused to testify, considering that she received 5 million reasons not to. Why do you pay someone that type of bread if you're not guilty. And why did he spend another three to four million for a ring to placate his wife? Sounds like an innocent man to me. If that were my sister he raped, money wouldn't be a pacifier.
Even after his career being a mentor and the coach for Gigi’s team. This is how everyone wanted Jordan to be, but he left the game . Kobe stayed involved in the game of basketball. My goat to this day.
Did he not buy a NBA team? Was he not a mentor to Kobe? Yes and yes. So how did he leave the game?
@@roboninja3194 I see what u mean. I feel that Kobe had more of a presence after retirement than Jordan, but you’re right.

@@simoncohen9323 I never said that what you do after retirement makes u a better player. I specifically said “My goat” cuz Im biased as a lakers fan my whole life. Also what u do after u retire definitely affects your legacy. With that being said, It cant help your “Goat” case tho.
Let the man retire in peace
Great points. Kobe did the most with the least help in a historically difficult conference against defense much more intense than todays era
I will never forget his competitiveness and giving it all out on the floor, even when he dislocated his finger and had it popped right back in. Just like Larry bird and Michael Jordan, he had the similar competitive spirit, which is hard to tell apart. Kobe’s drive and leadership that he showed especially in the last two Finals with Gasol as the second best is a great case for his legendary status.
-- We were all Bulls fans back then, and still wondered what Dell Harris was doing not playing Kobe.
My favorite player who bled 💜💛. What's great is that I graduated on his birthday. R.I.P. Black 🐍
I think many people call Kobe a shot chucker because they only watch individual highlights of him. What they don't watch are the actual games. Kobe would go full quarters without shooting the ball, and he would just function within the offense, and control traffick defensively. He was always moving, and he was always directing his teammates on the court, and on the bench. Kobe was always making minor adjustments to the Lakers offense, and defense. He was a student of the game despite being a masterful player. No amount of knowledge could satisfy Kobe's drive to learn more about everything in life. During a lot of Kobe's greatest scoring games, he didn't even play the entire 4th quarter, and sometimes his night ended in the 3rd quarter if his team had a huge lead. Kobe could turn on, and turn off his offensive explosions almost at will. One of the best documentaries of Kobe is called "Kobe Doin Work", and it's a true representation of who Kobe was as a player, and a leader during games, and before games in the locker room.
Nice recommendation
Kobe Bryant has one challenge. He never went to college and had to learn lots of lessons the hard way. BUT he learned them, being truly great walking among the giants of his era. Top 5 for me and an easy argument for Top 10 for anyone.
LBJ didn’t go to college and achieved more
@@hardwoodthought1213 By "more," you mean more Finals loses. More super teams, took more plays off and disappeared more in the second half. Had more diva moments and traded more players, to get more superstars only to get swept more. LBJ had great longevity in a time when you only have to play half a game - less no defense - less titles - it was easy to be great in this era and he still ain't the GOAT. LBJ is not Top 10 and couldn't carry Kobe's water. Achieved less if you ask me.
@@mistwiir4011 Lol
More superteams. Only 4 times in his career has a teammate made All-NBA (Wade 11/12, Kyrie 17, AD 20). Kobe had 14 seasons with an All-NBA teammate 😂 funny thing is how did LBJ always be his teams best player on superteams whilst Kobe was his own teams second best player despite no superteam?
Also, Kobe had superteams in 98/04/13, lost every time
More diva moments? Kobe refused to be drafted by half the league 😂 demanded trades in 00/04/07 😂 took max money when washed 😂 forced out Shaq and Jackson 😂 isolated Howard, the only superstar who ever willingly played with him 😂 raped someone and complained when the private plane LA paid for him to go to trial wasn’t good enough 😂 quit in a Game 7 after blowing a 3-1 lead to prove a point 😂 was on camera telling some college kids Bynum should be traded 😂 has half a dozen teammates openly say they disliked him 😂
But LBJ has more diva moments LMFAO
4 rings as the guy >>>> 3 rings as a second option and 2 as the guy
Worse at defence yet finished 2nd in DPOY voting twice
What more did Kobe achieve? 1 more ring with again backup role, that’s it. LBJ has more of virtually everything else plus the statistics 😂😂😂😂
I agree that Kobe was a better player but its close between them to say who achieved more because Lebron has 4 mvps to 1 4 fmvps to 2. More all star selection and all nba selektions BUT Kobe didnt jump from team to team and scoring titles Kobe 2 Lebron 1 but Lebron do have an assist title but Kobe has 12 all defense selection Lebron 6 and most important Kobe has 5 rings to Lebron 4. Kobe 1 3 peat Lebron 0. Lebron 6 final losses Kobe 2 and again Kobe didnt jump from team to team to form suoerteams. Kobe also saved Lebron international legacy because Lebron had lost in 04 and 06 and when Kobe came i. 08 they won again. Lebron does average better numbers then Kobe but thats also dur to the facts that the league has become so easy to scorer in the last 7-8 years
@@mixedpleasure4324 Fair enough.
Mamba was HELL! He was such a unique talent. Not gon lie, his first couple of years I thought he was a brash cocky kid that needed to pay his NBA dues first and was not a big fan. By the time he retired he was far and away my fave player. Watching how he matured over the years and how his game evolved was enlightening. When he went from #8 to #24 was when the inner killer Mamba was on full display. He will always be sorely missed but never forgotten. Mamba forever!
Kobe earned his way and left his mark on the world.

My absolute pleasure. Kobe is and always will be far and away, my favorite athlete. And more so a hero of mine.
@skap i need more of these in my life. And my apologies in advance I hate to be that guy, but I got an idea for a video for you. In my humble opinion, something that is never looked at, that is probably the best indicator of how good players were in real time as it happened, without revisionist history and opinions of people who never saw the games are the 2K ratings. Mofos like nick wright really have people who never saw Kobe play believe he was never the best player in the world not even for one year. Show them the truth
@@mikeydelgotdoe I like that idea! And it’s LAUGHABLE to claim Kobe was never the best player LOL. He was the best player for an entire decade. He was the best player longer than Lebron was the best player and there was overlap there.
Damn you're killing it with these Kobe videos. Black Mamba 4ever... my 🐐‼️💯

@judahrison Watch the video again & this time actually listen to understand not to find fault Skat is proving to you how Kobe's top 5, in my view top 2.
Only the real ones know it’s 1A-1B with KOBE and JORDAN. Then everybody else. This is why I love this channel. Thank you for this. The media hated Kobe, this is the real.
Best Kobe documentary I've ever seen facts are facts kobe Bryant is the goat rip mamba 😢
Kobe was the reason I liked basketball and will forever be my favorite player
That's the best tribute yet! RIP Kobe & Gianna!
🙏❤️🐍
It is how WE remember the Legendary Kobe Bryant. He did more with less. The GOAT in my book. ❤
You won't see a tribute like this, with that much context on ESPN. Thank you for putting respect on Kobe's legacy.
Just in time for my cardio. I do this session in remembrance of the late great Kobe Bryant . 🎉
I lived near Kobe growing up. I went to Hatboro Horsham in the mid 90's. We had our guy, who was really good, and he matched up to Kobe a number of times over several years. He was the first person I knew who said Kobe could go straight to the NBA. He said it with a straight face to me back in, like, '96.
I enjoy your videos on Kobe, and I'm glad to see you carrying this torch. The man was special.
Charles from Dreamerspro would thank you for this. To me Kobe had the GOAT mentality, but his body couldn't handle what his mind tried to accomplish.
His body could've if the Lakers organization built smarter around him. Instead they used him up to sale tickets and ran him into the ground. Specifically Jim Buss. Laker Nation will NEVER forgive him for that
@@EJByrd I never looked at it like that, but that makes a lot of sense.
Skap, you deserve a big praise and I salute you for protecting Kobe’s legacy.👍🏻🙏🏼
You could never take the Kobe out of mamba, And you could never take the mamba out of Kobe. He will never ever be forgotten. BABY GOAT 🐐🐐💯🎯
The 2000-2002 & 2008-2010 playoff runs are amongst the greatest playoff runs all time. The Western Conference playoffs were an absolute gauntlet in the 2000s. It was almost always a forgone conclusion that whichever team came out the west was winning the championship.
That should tell everyone how much better the Western Conference was during that time.
Imma Lebron Fan but i gotta respect the research you do and how you potray Kobes greatness he truly is a different breed. His resilience and the way he overcame adversities is unmatched i just wish we coudlve seen more seasons of him playing with an actual playoff contending team *Cough*"Chris Paul Trade"*Cough*but we will forever be robbed of that. RIP Mamba
You know your vids are 🔥 when comments drop as soon as the vid drops. Preach
Two things that strike me when I watch Kobe's interviews or media clips are 1) how articulate and well-spoken he was 2) how conscientious a student of NBA history he was. He clearly was very intelligent, had an inquisitive nature and loved basketball in and of itself, on top of everything else, and I think this is part of what set him apart from the rest of the pack on the grand historical scale, it wasn't just talent and work ethic.
This was the best video I’ve seen on Kobe. You dug deeper than everyone. Great work!
Thank you for telling the truth about Kobe. I really appreciate you for this.
I literally shed a tear on that last clip. It reminded me of that year we lost him. The pain is almost still the same. Thank you skap for always keeping his legacy alive. MJ and KOBE will forever be my GOATs and inspiration in life.
You've done an incredible job of putting Kobe's greatness in context. I have no choice but the approve this video and subscribe !
I played baskeball for 30 years and I fell in love with Kobe in the 2012 / 2013 season...I just didn't have the time or the passion to watch NBA like I did in the 90s...
And that was my biggest "baskeball" mistake....
Basketball gave me everything and made me a better person and a true athlete and Kobe put me on another level with his game, passion, work ethics, devotion, commitment, inovation, skills, and above all what made him the GOAT in my mind, was that he shared everything what he found out in sports and in his life.
He was and still is in my mind a great person and a true christian and olympian.
I hope he is resting in peace and hope that I am/will be a better person because of him, and hope that he will have the same or better impact on others as well.
BR
RIP

Greetings from Croatia
Man...this is probably the best summary of Kobe's carreer . Put together and broken down very well. Great job
I’ll never forget that stretch of games right before he tore his Achilles where it felt like he played every minute and the Lakers needed every last second. He WILLED that team into the playoffs. Him walking out to nail the two free throws that his team desperately needed, then walking off was one of the most inspirational things I’ve seen in sports.
I've got Jordan as the GOAT, but it's criminal how underrated Kobe has come when it comes to all-time-rankings. He really is one of those players were the per game stats and accolades alone can be quite misleading
Kobe cooks mjs overrated ass too
Just because it will favour Lebron 😂😂😂
Kobe was the pinnacle player for nearly 2 decades, along with Duncan. 5 rings during that time, truly the best
Miss you Mamba. Thank you for giving your all for us Lakers fans/ball fans. RIP
Thank you for putting this together. I would say Kobe's case needs more context than others and you did a great job. As a huge Jordan fan who spent most of Kobe's years in this salty "who does this kid think he is?"/ "he's no Jordan!" attitude, I admittedly regret waking up to appreciate Kobe's greatness far too late in his career. But at least I did, he won me over and beyond basketball, he became an inspiring person to listen to.
Rest In Peace, Kobe.
this this the greatest breakdown of kobe path i've ever seen !!!!!!!
17 year Kobe was arguably the best Kobe and by extension the best basketball ever seen. He didn’t have the athleticism anymore but his game was so refined he was unstoppable and it was in the start of the modern era so his efficiency shot to career highs.
That was 47 point game against Portland in year 17. That statline was ridiculous and just an example of how inflated his stats would’ve been in the modern era.
The relationship between m.j and Kobe is underrated.
and this is how you make the case for a player being the goat. not saying the era they played in was "weak" and the players were "plumbers. not downplaying the accomplishments of those who came before. you state the fact and present your case.
The greatest player ive seen play. Born in 92. Started watching and playing in 99
And it's a shame how they let Kobe rot in L.A. The man who helped bring the franchise back into revelance along with Shaq. Then stayed throughout the times of bad rosters and ultimately gave his body and soul for the love of the game! I remember 2014-2016 when they were calling him a "ballhog" and "always jacking up shots" and that he needed to "hang it up." I remember all of that then all of a sudden he's recieving all of this love? He should have gotten it when he was here. He needed to hear that. But with that being said, great video Skap Attack. I really appreciate that you are keeping Bean's legacy alive and disproving these lies that have been manufactured in the media.
Happy Kobe Day everyone.
So we gonna forget how he demanded a trade but the Lakers refused
@@simoncohen9323 Kobe put pressure on the front office and they delivered. This was after the 06 and 07 playoffs where he felt the Lakers were not doing right by him. And they weren’t, respectfully. Plus he had a No Trade Clause so he was able to veto the trades the Lakers had worked out anyways. But they worked it out getting Pau later on in the season and went on to 3 straight Finals.
@@Thomas-yu7dh he requested a trade they denied him not vice versa and if he wasn't such a egotistical bitch they wouldn't have been in that position
Awesome video! This is what set Black Mamba apart from the greats with the exception of Michael Jordan. Less help, work your game, lift your team mates up, play every game as much as possible and make no excuse even when loosing. I even heard when Kobe's daughter was sent in the hospital that he did not sleep at all but yet he attended work and manage to perform. Unlike Lechoke when defeat make excuses like how hard it is to be a father. Like duh all dad's do that. I am a dad as well so I know but it is unprofessional to have that excuse in working environment but yet again media keeps lifting the guy. Anyway to the real and to real people understand greatness Kobe should be at least top 5. Good job. Thank you so much.
I’m not a Kobe guy but I can’t argue the points you make. Kobe was special. I think having Shaq on his team rally helped him elevate his game in a couple of ways. First he had to fight for his shots. Second in tight games Shaq was usually on the bench so it was all on him to carry the offensive load and he absolutely carried that load well. Definitely in my top 10 no question.
Kobe to me is the 3rd best player, and the 2nd greatest player oat. Kobe's the reason I cant miss throwing a ball of paper into a trash can.
I have him 11-15
Last time I watched and cried to this was 5 months ago. I just finished watching this video again today, still has me crying. God man I miss watching Kobe play ball man. Kobe Bryant is basketball, Kobe Bryant is L.A. man. Smfh man Kobe you are truly missed by millions of us man. Great work "Skap"!! Keep em coming bro. KOBE BEAN BRYANT ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!!!!
This is the BEST Kobe video I've ever seen
No doubt. Skap gives Kobe his credit by spitting facts that Lebron fans try to discredit. Lebron fans try to prove that he's better by dragging Kobe's name through the dirt rather than giving solid facts.
"he never run" rip kobe, the world would have been much better when youre still alive today 😢
thank you for using your platform to tell the truth about kobe.I do as well and will continue to.
omg! this is the best analytic video abt kobe i have ever seen 😮😮😮 kobe deserves the justification for his 20 years of career.
Happy Kobe Day 8/24. Man Kobe is underrated at this point. Nice video breakdown once again.
A couple of years ago i would have agreed but at this point i think Kobe get the respect he deserve and i think top 5 is very fair even top 3 you could argue 🔥
Couldnt watch MJ growing up. But i enjoyed watching Kobe, and to me he was my 🐐. Mj still the undisputed GOAT. But Kobe inspired me and i actually got to see him
RIP Kobe Bryant your legacy will live on forever 🙏🏿😥🕊️
Gone BUT never forgotten. Legends never die 🙏❤️🐍
Thank you for protecting the TRUTH and organizing the facts in such an effective way. This channel is a great asset to fight the corporate propaganda machine and uphold Kobe’s legacy.
I love Kobe he definitely deserves goat consideration, but you can't argue for Kobe without shading other players.. I peep what you doing.. Kobe is 1 of the 3 best players I've witnessed in my lifetime, I won't argue his rank, instead I'll celebrate him without being disrespectful to anybody else.. there is no such thing as a perfect player, but I saw many games where Kobe looked like he was.. HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY MAMBA💛💜 We miss you still and always will 🙏🏿😞🥹🕊️
They trying to rewrite nba history as if there wasn’t a Kobe era
I am a watcher of Kobe. I don't know how UA-cam videos are made. I pass on a lot but like all I watch. You are justified. Dam bro. Kobe Kobe Kobe
@Skap Attack i appreciate you starting this channel, your approach, the humor, and the depth!
Your edits are always on point! Kobe has been and will always be my favorite player ever! He is in my pyramid of greatness consisting of Kareem, MJ, and Kobe... everyone else is outside it!
Keep grinding the videos, much love and gratitude for ya my brother
I am The Only One, Who could possibly make as a compelling case and analysis for Kobe as The Goat. I LOVE this video. Sir, if You never make another basketball video, You don't have to... because this is a masterpiece.
Kobe The Goat
Great tribute man. RIP Kobe.
This is why Kobe is my favourite player of all time
Mine too. And that is across all sports.
R.I.P mamba
Outstanding production. Very detailed. All facts! Kobe the legend!
MJ and Kobe were the two most exciting players to ever play in the NBA. Their killer instinct and commitment to winning was unmatched. The game may never see another Kobe.
The greatest lie ever told was kobe needing shaq to be great. He was great with shaq and greater without him.

@@subliminakeys1674 all facts
@@sidneypc6714shaq got swept in the finals with Orlando than ran to kobe 😂😂😂. Kobe save Shaq ass. Kobe is the goat 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐💯💯💯
Mr. 81 and a terror on the defense, One of the few Hoopers that made me love the game. Kobe, Iverson, Jordan. I believe, that Kobe had the most difficult path to create his Dynasty. He proved that he could win as equals with Shaq at such a young age and then had to start all over from scratch to prove that he could win without Shaq and which he did. He got his own back 2 back Championships Without a top 75 player all time on his team🤯 in little time. Wilts 100 points in a game is our Kobe's 81 points. And the Lakers needed every bit of Kobe to win that game. The greatest scoring game I've ever seen. Literally when out to shoot hoops after that game saying "Kobe"! Talk about heart, toughness, and determination shooting free throws on his own will when he tore his Achilles and knocked them 2 free throws down was "Iconic" and "Inspirational" The heart of a real Champion, Laker, King of LA🐐
Kobe lived for basketball and you have to respect him for that.
Fantastic video presentation btw
My older sister once told me I talked like my step dad. I responded I've never wanted to be like no man other than Kobe Bryant 😂 That was my hero and still is 💯
Great video dude Kobe is one of the most disrespected players by the media. ESPN bullshit rankings always place him outside the top 5 all time which is unbelievable. Most of the players who actually played against him say he's top 2 if not the best player of all time. He's the best ever in my eyes.
One of the Greatest Videos for One of the Greatest Players Ever.
I love Kobe. He’s criminally underrated…. It’s hard to argue he’s the GOAT. And that’s ok.
You think Kobe is the goat?
No its not this video proves it
Kobe is still not the GOAT. But it's hard to argue that he's next to it.
He's my 🐐...fuck everybody else's opinion
@@mixedpleasure4324Reading is fundamental.
Thank you for doing Kobe's legacy true just 👏🏾
My absolute pleasure! Nothing enrages me more than hearing bums on mass media outlets or teenage scrubs on twitter disparaging him. I can’t let it go without responding in someway. Many thanks to you for tuning in to the channel and for repping Kobe 🙏❤️
Thanks for putting this info and context because of you, I have been able to see just how great kobe truly was💯💯💯
Love it Skap! Keep that truth flowing bro!
You know I will! Thank you so much for tuning in and sticking with the channel. I appreciate you 🙏❤️
Thank you Skap for the great work you do 💪🏾R.I.P. to the Great Mamba
this man makes the best damn videos.....i couldnt stand kobe when he played, cause he was so damn good....now i have nothing but respect for the true number 2 overall
I’ve always had Kobe top 5, and he’s always been my favorite athlete of all time. But I’ve usually had him at 3 or 4. As time has passed and with the more research I do, I have moved him to 2. Just below Jordan.
Thank you for this tribute!
Skap telling the truth. I watched MJ and Kobe and damn, hard to pick the best but they are for sure above everyone else.
