Toronto was trash when Kobe scored 81, but a couple of weeks before that he scored 62 against Dallas and sat out the whole 4th quarter. Kobe had 62 and the Mavs had 61 after 3 quarters, and that Dallas team went to the Finals that season.
Toronto was up 20 in that game went Kobe scored 81 point. Watch the game and stop listening people talk shit. In that game Toronto was up 20 points on Lakers q
I started watching the lakers (and the NBA in general) in Magic's third season (1981/'82)...I watched all that stuff...the rivalry between Lakers and Celtics, Magic and Bird...the rise of "The Bad Boys" of the Detroit Pistons at the end of the decade......(make no mistake about it, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird saved the league and made it what it is today)........as a Lakers fan, I suffered through the breakup of Magic's "Showtime" Lakers into the early 1990s and watched them struggle in the following years with a few really good players and a few highlights......and was there for the arrival of Shaq in 1996, immediately followed by Kobe! I watched Kobe's entire career, and I can tell that he was something special!
Kobe could had score 80 multiple times… but he just sat out the 4th quarter. That Toronto game… his grandma was in the stadium. So he wanted to go all out for her.
13:45 you are asking about that 06 Toronto level. Do you know that in that same season Kobe scored 62 points in three quarter against Dallas? They scored 61 points in those 3 quarters. He didn’t played the 4th. This Dallas team went to the finals that year. 🐍
Ppl say Kobe stole all of Michaels move that may be true so tell is that easy lets get u to do the same will u have the same success ?? Is all about the work Kobe is a legend cuz all the work he put in, thats why Michael the only player he respect and says he could has beaten him is Kobe cuz he perfected Michaels move now ask urself is that easy can you do it ? And if yes why arent you in the nba ??
Kobe, all day, everyday 💯 LeBron? Floppers can’t be the best ever….grown ass man holding his head when he didn’t even get hit smh. Can’t wait until he leaves the Lakers.
Bra you a Kobe hater Kobe 81 points is a 18 point comeback just three weeks before that he scored 62 in 3 quarters and bron and Kobe didn’t see each other in the finals because the 3 years Kobe went back to back to back and won back to back us the same teams eliminated Lebrun teams and him and dwade came together cause Kobe kept winning and d Wade admitted it that him and Lebrun wanted to come together to stop Kobe
81 points. Down by 20 points. Plus he had Walton, Browne, Odom, Parker, Mihms on his team The Lakers didn't have any star players but Kobe. 81 out of 120. Kobe was the Team . DO YOU know just how hard it is to play defense and offense and to score 81 points!!!! These are NOT a good top 40 plays ---- Kobe had better plays that you could have showed. these were only a good top 15 in your list.
Truth is, he improved on Jordan's style by adding difficulty and 3pts difficulty. ...and Kobe did it without carrying and traveling/walking for which Jordan was allowed to do. You can dismiss my comment all you want, but it is truth. This is in no way Kobe's Top 40 definitive list. I have seen much more from Kobe from a difficulty standpoint.
Exactly Mamba was dat man he was sponge of knowledge on the court had it not been 4 sum injuries n unlucky events I think he cudve easily surpassed Jordan but as it stands he's right there beside him in my book wont ever be anybody dat is close 2 the beauty of Jordan n kobes game.
@@jamessanders6788 Yup. It was all about the fake rape charge in Colorado. People online still call him a rapist without bothering to look into the facts behind those fake accusations.
I see y'all wanna lie on MJ to prop up Kobe. Look at MJ and Dr. J again and you'll see two different styles. The only thing MJ and Doc had in common is that they both were flashy. But theirs styles were different.
KOBE IS THE GOAT 🐐!!!!
As someone who grew up watching Kobe, I can tell you that there are other plays out there that should be on this list.
Top 3 all time. I personally feel that overall he's the most determined and polished=Skilled=Complete package player ever.
Yep, if you wanted to win games, he’s the perfect team mate.
Facts
That reverse on christie at 5:00 is crazy underrated imo...no one is finishing like that...just nasty
I truly respect MJ and LeBron but man Kobe will forever be my all time favourite player of all the players I have watched ever 😊
My top 3 mj then Kobe then bron
Number 8 kobe to me is the greatest player of all time
Toronto was trash when Kobe scored 81, but a couple of weeks before that he scored 62 against Dallas and sat out the whole 4th quarter. Kobe had 62 and the Mavs had 61 after 3 quarters, and that Dallas team went to the Finals that season.
He outscored the whole mavs by end of the 3rd quarter.....THAT IMO IS BIGGER THAN 100 BY WILT
The raptors were trash?? Kwame Brown, Chris Mihm, and Smush Parker all STARTED that game…..the lakers were almost JUST as 🗑️ 😂
They was loading by 18 points before Kobe took over
Toronto was up 20 in that game went Kobe scored 81 point. Watch the game and stop listening people talk shit. In that game Toronto was up 20 points on Lakers q

Damn, I miss watching the Black Mamba in action. He will more than likely always be my favorite player.
Did Bron even score 62? Was every team Bron played against in his entire career even nice?? Kobe 62 in 3 qtrs... also 55 in a half!!!
Kobe move fan to watch it's funtastic I ever seen.
all players wanted to be like Mike but Kobe was the only one able too
Kobe could had score 80 multiple times… but he just sat out the 4th quarter.
That Toronto game… his grandma was in the stadium. So he wanted to go all out for her.
Kobe was always better
Bro the lakers was down 20 to Toronto in that 81 pt game.
Kobe did mimic Jordan, but Kobe had better foot work. Because Kobe studied every legends moves he also was not afraid to train with them.
Very exciting to watch.
Yeh it be like that

💯💯
Jordan and Kobe are basically 1 and the same
The Tornto that Kobe torched for 81 points were good defensively. Jalen Rose wqd there and janario moon I believe and patterson and Bosh.
Kobe, all day, everyday 💯 LeBron? Floppers can’t be the best ever….grown ass man holding his head when he didn’t even get hit smh. Can’t wait until he leaves the Lakers.
This video was disappointing. Doesn't do justice to Kobe's greatness. 90 born. I grew up watching this man. GOAT
Toronto wasn't that good. The Lakers weren't good either the game was actually close they needed that 81! FACTS
Bra you a Kobe hater Kobe 81 points is a 18 point comeback just three weeks before that he scored 62 in 3 quarters and bron and Kobe didn’t see each other in the finals because the 3 years Kobe went back to back to back and won back to back us the same teams eliminated Lebrun teams and him and dwade came together cause Kobe kept winning and d Wade admitted it that him and Lebrun wanted to come together to stop Kobe
This is no where close to the great thing kobe did Rip to the true goat kobe bean

@@relicdad88 He was one trade away from 2 more rings. Stern blocked it (CP3) because accused Kobe couldn't be the face of the new NBA.
@@jamessanders6788 Yup. It was all about the fake rape charge in Colorado. People online still call him a rapist without bothering to look into the facts behind those fake accusations.
A reaction video with no reactions good job bud
These are def not his top plays.. This is from a lebrick fans perspective...real Lakers fans..mi got you
Kobe's top 40???
Says who????
This is far from being Kobe's Top 40
And if you watch Dr. J and then watch Jordan then you’ll see Jordan copied Dr. J moves….
I see y'all wanna lie on MJ to prop up Kobe. Look at MJ and Dr. J again and you'll see two different styles. The only thing MJ and Doc had in common is that they both were flashy. But theirs styles were different.
Cirryy not close to kobe 😂
