Im surprised till this day nobody really made a compilation of his defensive highlights. I feel like he has more than just this.
I was surprised too
He has way more than just this .
Ofc he has way more lol. Most of these were even old Kobe
Without a doubt bro. I guarantee you make a top 100 top Kobe defensive plays video
@@CaliJatt0809 please you can make a top 100 defensive plays with any player playing for 20 years… I’ve seen Isiah Thomas defensive highlight real… doesn’t mean he is a good defensive player. How about aside from looking at cherry picked highlights, you go look at his numbers… his defensive numbers are garbage and do not reflect his 12 all defensive selections… go to basketball reference and look at any defensive stats. You won’t find Kobe anywhere near the top 10 of any defensive advanced or simple… and in terms of PER game, Kobe doesn’t even have any offensive top 10 stats either… Kobe’s only records are longevity based… he was a great player for a long time, but he wasn’t the best… his ONLY MVP he received Lebron exceeded him in almost every stat with exception of free throw percentage, 3 point percentage; and they tied for steals per game… and on top of that, Lebron took the championship Celtics to 7 games where Kobe lost to them in 6… Kobe’s MVP was a given to him because they knew it was then or he would never get one… so they robbed Lebron… l don’t even particularly like Lebron but facts are facts… go look at the MVP numbers yourself for both players… hell you could have made an argument for Chris Paul that year too… there is almost nothing on paper to explain him being a top 10 player of all time… lol he isn’t even in the top ten for rings… tied at 14… and don’t even get me started on the MYTH that is “Mamba mentality”… Kobe got plenty of game winners, but when you put in on paper and break down the percentages, he is actually slightly BELOW average in terms of clutch shots… he just always took them… also never won 1 playoff series without Phil, Shaq or Pau… NOT 1…
Despite 12x All-Def Kobe's defense remains underrated. One of the greatest 2 way players of all time.
He is absolutely the best guard defensively. Second to only MJ
Wade is up there too but I agree
@@Dwatts84wade was a good defender for a much shorter portion of his career than Kobe. His lateral movement was cooked due to knee problems
Gonna be honest, he really didn’t deserve most of those selections after 05
@@pallani8471 bruh what other guards besides tony allen, rondo, and maybe dwade were guarding like kobe from like 08-14/15? Even older kobe was a good defender. I can’t even think of any other guards.
Kobe’s defense is incredibly underrated. People rly have to compare someone who’s in a whole different position(Duncan) to him just to not put him in top 5 convo. Crazy
Some top defenders imo . MJ Kobe KG . Gary Payton . Tim Duncan .Scottie . Hakeem . Ben Wallace . Sydney moncrief . Kawhi ...
Facts💯💯.
His defense wasn't underrated lmao he was 9 time first team all defense. 3x second team all defense. How u say he's underrated yet top 5 at the same time?? Makes no sense tbh
@@calebm3465 i think he meant people don't talk about it enough when bringing him up in discussions.
@@bubby87697 ya maybe people who don't watch basketball. It's well known that Kobe was an elite defender
I alr know his defense on wade is gonna be in this
and on Kyrie
Hi josh ik it’s you don’t hide behind a burner you bionic leg boy
@@freeddawg2882 enjoy this curse
Facts
@@yourragesalt5533 god dammit I actually hurt my leg playing basketball today. And when I was going home I looked at the notifications on my phone I saw this
Watching Kobe and Melo in those 07-10 playoff battles was a thing of beauty.. Best player on both teams going toe to toe.
They talk about all around but a 2 way player is all around Kobe is one of the best all around players EVER a true GOAT
@Trade Bum Simmons Wilt is a way better two way than Khawi
@Trade Bum Simmons true💯💯
Not one of the best, just a good all around
@@easymoneyrad he definitely one of the best two players one of the best all around of all time
@@dbz4735 you can say that, im just not bias and speak on what i see
Man I miss those kinds of playoffs real physical games.
Yeah now it’s all trash bc the face of the nba is a flop 😭😂
@@Jxsofrioo who is the face of the nba
Kobe vs Melo and Lakers vs Celtics 2010 were some of the all time great playoff matchups
Kobe's Leadership is incredibly underrated.
If it wasn't for Shaq and Ron artest. Kobe wouldn't even have a championship? How could a goat only have 1 mvp????? How could a goat lose to the Pistons in the finals??? How could a goat average 15 PPG in the finals??? How could a goat go 6/24 FG in 2010 game 7 but still win because the Lakers had more free throws in the 4th than the Celtics did the entire game? How could the goat choke a 3-1 lead in 2006? How could a goats air ball's cost the Lakers the series vs the jazz in 98? How could a goat ride the coat tails of Shaq and Pau Gasol for championships? How could a goat get swept 4-0 with a stacked team in 2011? How could a goat consistently blame his teammates and refuse to pass the ball? How could a goat shoot
@@brentw0681 also, kobe averaged almost 27ppg in that series against suns, with one game being a 50.
@@brentw0681😂 in that game 7 everyone was playing bad
Offense + defense + mindset = Kobe top 2 ever
Wow, underrated ass comment. You simplified what i’ve been saying for years. To add onto that, Kobe is the only top 75 player to win a championship without another top 75 player. He is also second all time in all defensive 1st teams, yet they robbed him of dpoy as well as multiple mvp’s in the 2000’s because he had a bad image after shaq left and he went through his court drama.
Top 1
@lockupjay first of all you’re wrong about LA, Anthony Davis was on the list of top 75 players. But second of all you’re right i was wrong about that stat, I meant to say Kobe is one of 4 players to win multiple championships without a top 75 player and he’s the only one to beat 4 50 plus teams in the post season to do so.
Mamba was a master. Him and MJ, straight lock downers.
18 yrs old kobe blocking MJ is wild , I’m surprised they don’t show that clip more often
Doesn't surprise me. They mirrored each other some much. KB knew when MJ was going to jump; how high he was going to jump. It's crazy. He studied the hell out of him.
His face showed determination, he wanted that memory. I blocked MJ.
@@Unchained74 nah lol. You off
You can’t have to much good Kobe out there people might realize he’s the real goat. One of the best offensive players ever and defensive. The best defensive wing
He was my Answer to MJ for my Lakers. I miss him so much.
Kobe(r.i.p)was such a high volume shooter that how great of a defender he was gets underappreciated!
Laughed so hard when kobe locked Melo's right arm preventing him to take the inbound pass. So crafty 🤣🤣
People ain’t really gave him that much highlights on defense he was a 12 time member of all Defensive team 3X Defensive all second team 9X All Defensive First Team he had many great defensive plays on all time players Ray Allen Lebron Kd

@@brentw0681 ur high on fentanyl
@@brentw0681 no one’s reading all that
@@ytoowbbb8997 Facts when you gotta do all that, your tryna convince yourself, not me 🤦🏾♂️ 😂
This is why wade was always the second best SG in the league.
Wade was great offensively but yeah he never had Kobe’s all around talent and skill.
Mj 1st
Kobe 2nd
Wade 3rd
Wade played great defense wtf
That kobe melo matchup is something you'll never see in the league even in the fucking playoffs. That's the physicality we need to bring back the excitement.
You gotta get that footage of kobe locking up Iverson for an entire half back in 01
Where Kobe’s defense shined the most, was at the Olympics. I was impressed how well defense. Almost Mastering it!
One of many reasons he's better than Bron, played both sides of the ball relentlessly
And the best at both ends
Defensively maybe, but Bron is way more efficient than Kobe. This isn’t widely known but in Kobe’s final 60-point game he put up 50 shot attempts, which was a record. Bron has a higher fg%, ppg, and is more clutch. This is coming from a Kobe fan but unfortunately the stats show Lebrun is the better player.
@@rawgrave_ I agree with everything but clutch, Kobe Bryant has had 8 game winning buzzer beaters, 1 less than mj
@@aricgruber38 he also had the most missed game winners and buzzer beaters
@@rawgrave_ Because he every single, was the one taking the shot, just like Mj. any time there was a moment for a game winner, it was always steph shooting it
ONCE KOBE PULL THEM SHORTS UP HE IN LOCK DOWN DEFENSE MODE! LOL TRULY THE GREATEST EVER LONG LIVE KOBE
No weakness in his game ❤
3:51 If Melo had been this guy on both ends of every game…who knows what he would’ve accomplished.
If the 08-09 Lakers never made the WCF Melo would've won the chip that year.
Toughness. Class. Fearless...R.I.P. KB
That defense clamp on wade is ICONIC😮
You forgot the block he got on Lebron in the All Star game, that was a statement. Good video regardless
Yeah I remember that game, he was trying to take it to Lebron alot during that All Star game.
Kobe can have volumes of clips like this. Thanks for acknowledging his defense👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Kobe taking on Wade and James by himself. Nuts.
Had D-Wade in shackles.
Missed 2003-04 season when he locked down TMac in comeback win vs Magic
4:48 is exactly how Kobe got him in the ASG too. Kobe read LeBron's tendencies like a book.
That's a clear foul if u slow it down
REST IN PEACE LEGEND 🙏🏾24/8
Kobe was smart, as well as athletic. He watched film, got up early to work out. He took his job serious. Love kobe Bryant, been a Lakers fan since the showtime era. When i was 7.
Melo vs Kobe bean one of the best fights I’ve seen like ever!!!!
Talk about an athlete that was competitive and played hard. Kobe was that example of hard work
None of these defensive compilations ever have Kobe locking up Lebron at the 2013 All Star Game
Lol nor should they because it’s an Allstar game
@@FireAngelChris There was a time when the all star game was serious kiddo
@@matrixseven8528 The allstar game was just serious in 2020. I grew up on watching allstar games not every heat they were competitive either. I take defense in actual games than allstar game any day
@@FireAngelChris Whenever Kobe played it was serious…
Whether it was a pre season game ,Olympic or All star game …Kobe never stepped on the court half stepping !!!
@@matrixseven8528 Man talking to me like I never grew up watching Kobe or he isn’t one of my fave played. Allstar game defense just don’t mean much to me. Kobe also wasn’t always serious every in the allstar games either until when they were close. That clip of him on Bron prime example,he was more serious than LeBron about it. Like I am happy they didn’t include it in this montage because Kobe has way better moments of it in games that mattered more.
KOBE the GOAT! PERIOD!
His defensive game is really legendary, RIP KOBE
Great defense moving his feet.
Kobe blocking Jordan’s fadeaway is CRAZY
Kobe the best guard D Player since mj
I’m happy to see Melo putting effort on defense
RIP Kobe B. 🙏
Just watching Kobe do this makes me feel so powerful for some reason

I’d be scared ash if Kobe Bryant was guarding me💀
Exelente defensa!!! Es perfecta. KB. ❤
"It's just pain" - Kobe
The moment Kobe Pulls up his Pants while guarding you…. It’s over!! May as well just Pass the ball 💯
This is part of his legit GOAT case imo.
Even if Dirk makes that shot it was still excellent defense. Gotta keep that in mind because he always went up against excellent offensive. So many great players from his era.
That low stance must be HELL on his knees. I see why Kobe had to hold onto it when James came over to shake his hand on the night he passed his career scoring record. 😞
Nah his phone was falling
And people say mj couldn’t beat Lebron one on one. Kobe straight shut him down on defense
players gotta be thinking "man I have to guard Kobe??" then on the other end "man Kobe is guarding me?? gimme a break"
我好喜欢这个频道的节目哦💖🌷💖🌷💖
I miss you kobe 😢
I’m here for this
Kobe 9x all defense team tie with jordan for most in NBA history
The title to the video should have been
“24 Times Kobe clamped his opponents”
Kobe vs carmelo in the playoffs was definitely one of the best matchups.
I just... I just can't comprehend it. He still seems alive to me
He is . He plays the role of Myles Gordon
@@mosesalmighty8669 lol Myles Garrett?
Amazing
5:42 omg Kobe soo janky I love it
Watch "Kobe defensive Doberman part 1 & 2" on UA-cam. More clips of Kobe in his actual prime.

@@brentw0681 How can someone have a 4-6 finals record, have a 22-33 finals games win loss record, have the biggest choke job in nba history and yet his fans try to say hes the goat. 😂😂
I dont understand why the vast majority of public platforms and "analysts" only focus on the offensive side of the ball when discussing the greatest of all time list?
Start including all defensive lists as well
Because casuals don't care about defense. I agree with you that the media is the reason why so many fans poorly rank players on the GOAT list.
That drill they put Kobe through off the injury was torture
Goat Bryant!!!
Imagine if his body could keep up with how strong his mind was. My goodness.
Wow I had never seen Dwyane Wade get clamped like that
That D wade one is crazy
3:17 damn that's tuff.
I remember when he smacked Ray Allen’s shh so hard he made him fall lol
So insane 😂😮
R.I.P KB#8
KOBE!!!
The real Goat
I loves Kobes attitude. If kobe was in the military he woulda been a Navy Seal and woulda crushed it in BUDScuz he just doesn't quitm
The mental game is half the battle, most of the time guys really didn't want smoke with Kobe.
It's a shame Kobe got no real run his first two years, during his rookie year he got to start 6 times.
he had a plus minus of +72 over the course of those 6 games, to go with 14.5ppg 3.1 rpg 1.8apg 1.6 spg .8 bpg and 44.8% FG
He just never had a real opportunity early on, he probably missed out on like 1400-2000 points, which would've put him right there just a few hundred from Malone. Out of Kobe's first 150 NBA games, he only got to start in 7 games!! Clearly being elite defensively from the start while also being a huge plus for the team when on the court, he was still denied a ton of opportunity to show his greatness. As soon as he became a starter the Los Angeles Lakers won three titles in 4 seasons, and the only season the Lakers didn't win was a lockout shortened season where Kobe only got to play 50 games, adjusting to being a starter for the very first time.
One of the stories that never really gets told....
"THE GOAT"
In the melo and Kobe going at it clip the refs too soft to let that contact go nowadays😭
Kobe Melo real physical 💪
Not too many guards can do it both way like Kobe can. Now everyone is all offense to earn a Super Max
Best player ever
Most defense I seen Carmelo ever play 😂😂😂😂
He's the only guy to lock up kyrie like he did
cant do this anymore without foul call
I still never get it why Carmelo Anthony didn't win ROTY.
✅️ Has more points and averages more points.
✅️in the Crazy Western Conference
✅️Actually Went to the playoffs
Kobe and mj very similar defensively.
Kobe used to lock the 3rd greatest shooter of all time up🙌🏽
God damn he put d wade IN JAIL
In this day and age, that would have been a foul or technical foul
Goat!
If it wasn't for Shaq and Pau Gasol Kobe wouldn't even have a championship? How could a goat only have 1 mvp????? How could a goat lose to the Pistons in the finals???

Almost half of these clips either lead to assists to an open man who scores or Kobe is called for a foul. He's got Carmelo in an armbar at 5:41 are you TRYING to show he played dirty? Not the best choices for a highlight reel.
Clamps!!!
I can’t lie I lowkey thought terry broke his ass off 😂 he played it off tho
4:26 tf are those shorts 💀
RIP Black Mamba
Why are the practice ones in here??
Whoever says Kobe couldn’t play great defense is smoking crack. Old Kobe could guard any 2010 star and shut them down when he wanted to. Prime Kobe had to deal with T-Mac, Vince, Nash, Ray Allen, AI, Brandon Roy, Rip Hamilton, Michael Redd. He could lock up any of them the whole game in his prime
I always wondered what made him start playing defense later on in his career? Guess will never get to ask him now… 🙏
Kobe was first team all defense since 21 years old..what are you talking about?
This is the reason why kobe won 2 chips with a bunch of role players
Left out a lot...like when he put clamps on Iverson in 2000
