@@AltoMando57 yeah, and what? If you watched the game, first half he passed the ball many times, he could score more points but he passed maybe 10 or more times and hadn't assists, his teammates were horrible. If you want to pass the ball amd to have many assists, you should have great teammates for that. Kobe would also have many assists if he played with Scottie Pippen, Dwayne Wade, Davis, Irving...
God i miss him so much. Theres never been another player where I've been in so shock and awe... the way the guy played was just on a totally different level. Offensively kobe was the best player to ever put his hand on a basketball
Dude you said that right!!!!! He was a Basketball genius I remember in one of his interviews he said he Manipulated the game of basketball that saids a lot
Kobe's footwork was unreal and his work ethic was head and shoulders over everyone else. To master the game the way he did is crazy and I think in my opinion he's the toughest shot maker in NBA history, to hit fadeaway three pointers with a hand in his face or being double and tripled teamed and still make it like wooahhh. R.I.P. Kobe Never Forgotten
You must have never heard of Michael jordan...Kobe copies him..not the other way round..Jordan was efficient with his footwork and kobe just took mj moves to heart
@@soothingmoments2139 get off the nostalgia bias jordan was indeed the more efficient player but in terms of actual skill and footwork it’s in Kobe’s favor. Kobe was making fadeaway three pointers with his LEFT HAND and he was drilling 30 footers before steph came along. Stop with this nonsense
No one has footwork like kobe. In past and in present. Kobe's mid range game is like music .... so much entertaining, melody, finesse and great completion. I can watch Kobe's mid range game all day and not get bored at all. Kobe will forever be a legend of mid range game.
My goodness, this mans game was grace personified. The level of skill is through the roof. An absolute lost art in today's game. A savant truly missed :(
The way he's able to slip past defenders is phenomenal, doesn't really matter the pressure you put on him, he just finds a way. Love you Kobe. Rip Legend
Most don’t recognize the level of the defenders guarding him in these clips. Teams in the west ALL went looking for that guy that was a defensive specialist just to face Kobe when they played. That’s how great he was and it’s all due to his hard work and willingness to reach out to the greats and ask for guidance on their moves. I mean come on Kobe was doing the Dream shake 18’ from the basket. Dude put so many in the popcorn machine over the years. RIP Mamba, you are sorely missed.
Bro this comment right here gets my vote. This era right here is when defense specialists suited up to try their best to slow down kobe. People weren't afraid of being crossed up or getting dunked on or being put on a highlight reel. It was all business here.
Kobe only got this good because he took no days off! Every day he got better and better! Something to aspire to get like in my daily walk with The Most High and Christ!
@@zpacify but more quicker and advanced in his technique than Jordan, the game evolves, Jordan did his thing to the evolution to the game, future players will do the same to make it better.
@@slipnorris5882 Are you kidding me? Quicker? MJ wasn't called the black cat for nothing. Kobe wasn't a better version of MJ. MJ was a better jump shooter, slasher, defender etc. Kobe was more skilled in ball handling and had more range. But MJ had the layup package, better post ups due to his strength, and just better balance with his jumpshot.
2 things I am remind of in this clip: -Kobe went against the best defender on ever team each and every night, and still dominated -the mid-range jumper pretty much died after this man retired. What an assassin. Miss you Kobe. You got me to love the game.
I be up 1 2 3 in the morning sometimes just watching Kobe Highlights. It still plays in the back of my head *Kobe Is Gone* 😔 *Is he really gone* *he’s gone* still can’t believe it and has not sunk in. I will never forget this legend 💛💜💛🙏🏾
Kobe learned a lot of his low-post footwork from the great Hakeem Olajuwon (top 3 centers of all-time). He even incorporated the "Dream Shake" in a lot of his moves. Kobe was a quintessential student of the game, he learned as much as he could from the greats (Jordan, Hakeem, Magic...) and really perfected his craft. His dedication and hard work I don't think will ever be matched, specially with the current generation of players.
Dude, Kobe did not incorporate the Dream Shake. That was MJ's shake he was doing. Honestly I dont know wha he got from Olajuwon. Nothing really changed.
@@zpacify Sorry Brah but Kobe specifically reached out to The Dream and worked with him for an extended period. This is easy to find on the web my friend. He also worked with Reggie Miller, Mike, Kareem, and Bill Russell.
overlooked for his greatness is the fact that he never used a screen or pick to create a mismatch..once he got the ball he wanted the best defender on him always
True, I didn't take notice of that until you said it and I been watching him since 1996. He doesn't ask for screens, he simply goes through any defender in his way.
I used to tell ppl that at the height of the kobe/lbj debates. love bron but every time he touches the ball he has a few screens. kobe rarely, if ever, used them. imagine him in today's game where everybody automatically switches. he's taking point guards to the post and dominating them down there. or he's cooking forwards/centers with ease. 40ppg in his sleep in the modern nba. Plus everything's a foul and he's a 85% ft shooter. maybe 45ppg. if booker could make noise in this league and he's only a dollar tree version of mamba, imagine the real deal.
@@dj-dt1vv its just a style play of the game bro. Ofc lebron has some nasty post moves and he used it a lot very in 2018 especcialy against toronto, but he is a first pass player and always has been, like magic and stockton. When you guarding Kobe you have to guard him 1 on 1 and not worry about others, when you guard Stockton or Lebron or other great playmaker you have to worry about other 4. In modern nba Kobe def would be dominating but 45ppg is a reach because he prolly would sit out 4th quarters bcs of blowouts and to avoid injuries ofcourse. 37 ppg
Damn I miss Kobe and DAMN I miss the Isoball era. We never get to see individual skill like this anymore, the game now is about how many screens you can set and how many people you can get stood behind the 3pt line.
The most skilled footwork and moves ever seen on a basketball court in history. KOBE was a real life video game. He would make the most incredibly ridiculously difficult shots so routinely it was literally incredible to watch for 20 years. His body control and coordination is off the charts. Every move is so precise. Rest in Paradise Black Mamba I still can’t believe you’re gone....but never forgotten. The Lakers won the Championship for you this year and I’m sure we’ll be putting a statue of you up in front of Staples Center very soon.
Good point. He knew literally everything regarding basketball. He became a professor of basketball. And that made him a wizard who always brings on to the table whenever needed
Boy KOBE was my favorite. KOBE really puts on a show. I just can't believe that KOBE is no longer here. I know that he is truly missed. RIP KOBE BRYANT.
Troy Hough Kobe had more moves. MJ could use less moves cause he was more athletic. Even as he gotten older in the late 90s as his athleticism declined a little MJ still had higher elevation on his midrange jumper & operated more in the midpost & low post & had the strength to just shoot over the top of defenders without using different variation of moves in the post cause MJ was much more stronger than Kobe. Kobe operated at the post, elbows & below the 3 point line where the above the arc circle area is.Kobe just had more of an Arsenal & more counters
Can’t believe I’m saying RIP Kobe. It’s still so unreal to me. This is heartbreaking man. Kobe was my childhood. Will forever hold onto my retro jerseys and crazy 8’s.
I think Jordan is the goat but I never saw him play in person. I saw young and prime Kobe in person and it was obvious he was the best player on the court every time.
This guy, did one spin to the right, then a fade away jumper so fast without being dizzy..who can currently do that now in todays game. Fire!!!!he made that style game very exciting during that generation.
Love this video.. it’s his outstanding footwork that made Kobe so good... When he got older, he truly mastered it and it increased the threat coming from him. Not only offensively, but also defensive his footwork was almost unmatched. Always having or find your right body position is key in the game .
Bean was one of those basket ballers like the greats that made you look forward to watching the game. Skill wise, he was one of the best if not the best. Obviously he was a great shooter but we don't give him much credit for how much of a fundamental type of player he was. What I mean by that is; when you watch him play you can literally see his basketball IQ and love for the game coming through. He studied the game so much that it became natural for him to play so beautifully most nights. Little to no basketball players really play the game like this anymore, especially with the footworks. Then to add to all of that he had serious determination that pulled him through a.k.a Mamba Mentality. That's why he is my favourite basketball player, a real O.G type of player. Miss you bean🖤🙏
The play at 7:48 shows why he is the most skilled basketball player in NBA history. The amount of different moves and skills is insane. Just little touches like how after he dribbled behind his back with his left hand, he had the presence of mind to turn his body to the defender while executing one dribble with the right, turning again towards his right shoulder (towards the baseline) while switching the dribble to his left, driving baseline, then doing a full 360 and making an easy layup while falling AWAY from the basket.
What makes Kobe so incredibly special is physically he had nothing special that would set him apart from almost every other player in the league. His greatness was based on hard work, study of other players, determination, and mental toughness. I miss him.
@J S More Clutch? LeBron Lost about 10 games at the free throw line in the last 2 years... FT % is close to Shaq with game on the line... I'm looking at stats and percentage...
He is awesome and I love him as a player but I hope emotions aren't getting the best of us. You do know he admitted through his own mouth to xeroxing his game after Jordan. He's great but the student didn't overcome the Master with the exception of longevity stats. No doubt, but Kobe is better than Lebron who will pass all the greats due to longevity stats. ua-cam.com/video/6g7sfHuPMjg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/lTMf_UHxdY0/v-deo.html
Freaking unguardable .. watch all the moves he counters all with no travel... plus both hands finishes mix that with the speed and hops .. u can't do nothing against it
I don’t really play basketball, but i think the most of the clip the defender make no mistake or try their best to guard Kobe. He just overpower. RIP Mamba💙
The dedication to his craft Bleeds thru so well. Bean was literally playing on a more elevated level than most. Let’s just say when Kobe’s playing he’s liberated
If any one ask how great or amazing was Kobe I’d just say is you couldn’t give this man no space cause any space he’d be able to score and if he didn’t have the space he’d make it possible to have the space coming from a spurs fan this dude was absolutely amazing rip mamba
Man these are some tough shots. All of these shots were against great defense and double teams. His footwork so good that you could force him to pick up his dribble and he'd still have moves to get a shot up

He is awesome and I love him as a player but I hope emotions aren't getting the best of us. You do know he admitted through his own mouth to xeroxing his game after Jordan. He's great but the student didn't overcome the Master with the exception of longevity stats. No doubt, but Kobe is better than Lebron who will pass all the greats due to longevity stats.

Kobe is my 2nd favorite player ever. But Jordan is just better.
@@bobanderson542 that's cool, but I was able to see both play (I'm 50, old) and Kobe did do some things that MJ just never could...
@@quirinogarza7381 Exactly! I use to like Jordan until I saw Kobe play and now hes #Myfavplayerever! 💯💯💯
Even though I didn’t know him personally but just watching these clips still hurts. Can’t believe your gone. Rip my hero. #Legend
His follow through is amazing. Finishes the same way everytime. True olympian
Freaking unguardable .. watch all the moves he counters all with no travel... plus both hands finishes mix that with the speed and hops .. u can't do nothing against it
I don’t really play basketball, but i think the most of the clip the defender make no mistake or try their best to guard Kobe. He just overpower. RIP Mamba💙
More like out skills them.
smoothest mid-range jumper+ amazing footwork..still can't believe he is gone.
The dedication to his craft Bleeds thru so well. Bean was literally playing on a more elevated level than most. Let’s just say when Kobe’s playing he’s liberated
Greatest to ever touch the court. Don't care about rings don't care about numbers this is my GOAT forever 🐍💜💛
The god of footwork. Kobe's footwork is an art.
As mark jaxkson would say allow me to have this dance😆😆😆
Most of these shots would be an and one in today's NBA
Still can’t believe my role model is gone since I was 10 I would just scream Kobe every time I shot im still hurt by this 😢
Me too rip kobe 😪
I still do this man is a legend
same bro. life is beautifully sad. appreciate your people
One of a kind.. I'll cherish each memory of this man's game. He'll never be forgotten and missed.. RIP 8/24
Kobe’s offensive package was BEYOND amazing. It was a pleasure to have seen his whole career.
1 of 2 players in history than can make the crowd ooohh and aaahh without dunking or breaking ankles, but instead with amazing moves
RIP KOBE
I love you!
He almost always took the most difficult shots. He made the game exciting!
If any one ask how great or amazing was Kobe I’d just say is you couldn’t give this man no space cause any space he’d be able to score and if he didn’t have the space he’d make it possible to have the space coming from a spurs fan this dude was absolutely amazing rip mamba
What’s crazy is imagine if Kobe was surrounded with all three point shooters like today omg Kobe would be open every time.
Man these are some tough shots. All of these shots were against great defense and double teams. His footwork so good that you could force him to pick up his dribble and he'd still have moves to get a shot up
This man made top 5 all time scoring list taking these types of shots and this good of defense being played on him. Insane.
I miss him so much. I always watch his games when I was a child. R.I.P. my 🐐
Such a privilege see this man play basketball , rest in peace KOBE"BEAN" BRYANT
This was so satisfying to watch. Like poetry in motion.
Flawless footwork. Simply remarkable
What's so hard for a lot of player's to do.Kobe made look so easy.We'll never see another player like Kobe.RIP Black Mamba!!
Those spin moves were unstoppable 🔥💯
The sweetest fadeaway in basketball history.
The goat and ain’t no changing that in my opinion
So nasty. Best footwork by far of anyone to ever lace them up. Thanks for editing and uploading.
Kobe , Jordan and Hakeem the most skillful scorers in history of NBA. Got thousand moves in their arsenals
Look at Kobe man, so inspirational ☹️😢
I can't express these movements any other word except "Beautiful" R.I.P mamba
You can tell he practice that shot so much that it came out so naturally
this is the peak of basketball. every single move is an absolute beauty.

Kobe took the best from the classic Michael Jordan and diluted it with the creativity of his genius.
There will never be another to fill his shoes
This is what I love most about Kobe he’d break you down with 3-4 dribbles and the ill footwork efficient!!!!!
