@@kambge blown out? Nah. They almost won all other besides this one. All but one game was very close. Series was close to to being 7 games. Could of been a foul calls of a difference
Yup! But kobe is an assassin man. Thanks for watching tho brother! I Appreciate you Btw I hope you subscribe and turn on notifications for my next video! :)
+zerocal76 All you need to do is go back and look at the 2015 finals. When Lebron was running on fumes, Blatt refused to give Shawn Marion, or Kendrick Perkins any playing time. Both of those guys have title winning experience and David Blatt didn't put them in the game when it mattered at all.
Any coach, should have their job on the line when you decide not to give guys, with finals experience at that, no playing time. Especially when nobody but Lebron was doing anything.
And this was a version of Kobe that had lost a lot of his athleticism and was still the best player on the floor. RIP Mamba and happy Birthday King Kobe.
Kobe plays soo much better when he takes his time and passes the ball well. He attracts so much attention on the floor so when he passes they cant lose.
AnimefreakHQ great roster when Bynum wasn't even no factor and that bench was sum shit. Not no great roster take away kobe that's no great roster by any means lls
Kobe made them better. Haters say that kobe has always been on a great team but when u look at 09 and 10 championship team, only gasol was another star and bynum and ariza/artest were slightly above avg starters. U look at bynum now, no teams want him. Odom, after leaving lakers no teams want him alsp. Ariza, still alright but def not the defender and the promising up and coming player he was in lakers. Then u look at their bench, i dont even think any of them is rostered in todays league. Farmer was last yr but dont think anyone else. Correct me if im wrong. Then fisher, clutch for sure but just a defensive black hole, dont know how they got through teams with star pg like cp3, tony parker, dwill at the time etc. kobe does make teammates better
+Nick Zhang So true i always tell that to ppl that this lakers team wasn't stacked at all. they just had great chemistry and kobe lifted them up with his greatness
+Nate Rivers Best offensive center, Best offensive power forward, 6th man of the year, Best Coach all time, kobe, and a collection of above average support players. The team was stacked. In 05 06 it wasn't stacked...and we all saw what happened, bounced out of the first round no questions asked. Nice try, kid. You can't rewrite history.
This is when the day is still so competitive. I love it like this. Where theres only one or two all star. Right now, nba is like, lets have 5 all star in one team. And even very choosy where they want to play.. Wtf.
I miss you Charito Whittier still remember our nights at buffalo wild wings with you furiously rooting for ur nuggets me my Lakers when we were together. I'll never forget R.I.P
During the 5 championship run the Lakers had during this decade (00, 01, 02, 09, 10) I would say this game was the single best playoff performance the Lakers had as a team. They absolutely dominated a really good Denver Nuggets team on their home court to close out the series, almost from start to finish.
Classic MVP Kobe: didn't remember the Lakers crushing the nuggets like this though! Too much MVP Kobe and too solid defense proved to be too much for Melo and the Nuggets.
Everytime these guys at the gym pickup games get pissy about me being "on their ass" I always think of bryant and Anthony fighting for defensive and offensive position like rabid animals. This is how you should play.
Melo never showed up games 4-6 smfh I remember watching this thinking melo finally ready for kobe than melo faded away after game 3 he couldn't keep up either that or he didn't try to smh
Yeah with no true secondary scorer melo would gas in the playoffs. 2013 was the only exemption but he tore his shoulder blade cause the rest of the Knicks played like Shit.
Rest in Heaven Kobe 💛💜
Imagine how differently people would look at Carmelo Anthony career if he was able to win this series defeating kobe and then going on to win a ring.
Blotairson Noel damm i never even thought about that, nuggets woulda definitely beat the magic to
he wasn't that close though. blown out in gm 5 and 6 and melo did not play well in those gams.
@@kambge blown out? Nah. They almost won all other besides this one. All but one game was very close. Series was close to to being 7 games. Could of been a foul calls of a difference
I dont like him. He has some special ego that people would have to swallow before like Carmelo Anthony
Imagine how much different people would’ve viewed Kobe… he already gets minimal respect
Kobe's Greatness secured the win.
Man, if it was anybody except my man Kobe, I would've wanted Melo and his Nuggets to advance. They would've easily handled the Magic as well
Yup! But kobe is an assassin man.

Me too
I really dislike how people have knocked Kobe's leadership role over the years this clearly showcases that verbally and actions.
A much better leader than Lebron ever will be. Kobe doesnt throw games like Lebron to get rid of his coach (Blatt)
^^^^ Yeah, that's the last time you debate anything basketball related.
Nate look up the video Why blatt was fired by a channel called bballbreakdown and then come and comment

i remember this game, when i hated kobe so much. now i have become a huge fan of kobe, what the fuck
Lol
Same

Loved using this Nuggets team on NBA 2K9 back in the day!
4:00 - four seconds left, up 13 going into half - back on defense with a block. who plays this hard anymore?
Kobe plays soo much better when he takes his time and passes the ball well. He attracts so much attention on the floor so when he passes they cant lose.
They were playing the triangle offense with Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol being a great passing big men. They had a great roster and a coach.

Who's here after finding out Lakers and Denver are meeting again in the WCF?
Pretty much why I’m here

MELO!!!! All day everyday
Jacob Blackamore not that day bro. Lol or any day he met Kobe in the playoffs lol.
Harold Coburn lmao
Harold Coburn yeah what's worse, is that it was on his birthday.
@@reese543he won games against Kobe let’s not act like he wasn’t winning at all
this nuggets team was pretty damn good they just run into the lakers if it was any other team i think they would have won
FOR EVER KOBE❤️🇮🇹
Kobe's a GAWD
I miss man kobe💜💛
This game was a masterpiece by Kobe.
Kobe: after 5 games , im pretty sure it's enough to end it like this .
can you post the full games 2009 and 2010 playoffs bro?
+martin ansah nope they wont
I still laugh till this day they had Anthony carter guarding Kobe lmao
Agreed 🤣. Big strong young Melo, athletic young JR, Linas Kleiza....nah let’s put midget 50 y/o Anthony Carter on him 😂
George Karl masterclass 😭😭
Incredible performance of C.bryant
Melo is my fav player , I stan him despite he’s not the best player
BUT Kobe is the best in his era
Denver x Lakers again!! 2020
when push come to shove i know what to do. This More than just a game
Revenge on billup
Man I never want to hear the narrative that kobe doesn't pass in this game itself we saw proof that he passes a lot
They need to put the playoffs logo back on the floor
Battle of my two fave players
#mamba
#me7o
Title should be Kobe Bryant vs J.R. Smith. Melo disappeared in this game
He had 25 yeah poor shooting but 25 nonetheless with 8 of them coming in the 4TH
Who just watched that Kobe arod interview #weezyfbaby
Melo gave Odom the Business
Everytime these guys at the gym pickup games get pissy about me being "on their ass" I always think of bryant and Anthony fighting for defensive and offensive position like rabid animals. This is how you should play.
what game is the picture im the thumbnail from?
iAmVeryHairy I wanna say Game 1 from this series
iAmVeryHairy game 1
sheesh kobe came for blood
Melo never showed up games 4-6 smfh I remember watching this thinking melo finally ready for kobe than melo faded away after game 3 he couldn't keep up either that or he didn't try to smh
He ran out of gas no.more.shooters Martin averaged 12
Yeah with no true secondary scorer melo would gas in the playoffs. 2013 was the only exemption but he tore his shoulder blade cause the rest of the Knicks played like
Shit.
Where was lebron during this time??
ECF as well. They lost to the magic who ended up losing to the lakers
Mamba Mentality.. 😭
Denver melo u could appreciate hes greatness
This is not a duel... Why make this video❓
U dumb
Nah... Not at all dude
It was def a duel bro
The series was a duel... The game was one-sided... Point blank
Jamal Wallace exactly it was just Kobe highlight melo was shooting 4-13 at one point
J.r SMITH PLAYS NOOOO DEFENSE smh
Complete domination by the Lakers for 27pts!!! Kobe 35pts 10assist. BRILLIANT!
🏀🔥
Dang, I felt bad when Melo cried at the end.
Kobes a bad man bro
