Stop idolizing him dang smh 🤦🏾♂️
Kobe should have been named the Finals MVP in 2002. Especially his clutch plays (game 3 for example) and his shooting percentages were absolutely incredible!
Kobe had a great Finals, but Shaq had an even better one. Kobe ain't winning when Shaq averaged 36 on 67% shooting.
He would’ve in any other series. 27, 6 and 6 on 51 percent shooting and 54 from 3 is an amazing finals. Also locking Kidd to just 43 percent.
Let’s be honest in all of the three finals, Kobe was guarded the top players on the team while Shaq was being defended by old Demekme and Mccoulauglh and Keyon Martin.
Of course he was gonna win it but when being defended by great centers like Hakeem, that’s when he got cooked
@@_1luljayyy like when he was guarded by Tim Duncan and David Robinson. Kobe led the offense and was the best player in that series.
@@luckympho9010 not to take anything from Shaquille but Kobe was locking down three Hall of Famers Miller I.A and Kidd on that three peat
@@xaviervega468 all while fouling out or always in foul trouble
Some players are born to play their sport, Kobe was one such player
Carried my Ass! Kobe in game 3 alone was the reason why the Nets got swept.
Shawn John game 3 where Shaq would usually take a game or two off
Yup...he should have been finals mvp
@@Rorschach771 LOL how so? Shaq averaged 36 for the series.
@@xaviervega468 yeah 36 free throw air balls
@@Rorschach771 More like 36 points a game. I swear Kobetards are the most delusional fans in sports.
I love everything you stood for kobe
It was an honor and privilege to watch you play Kobe Bean Bryant . May you forever RIP man . Miss you and miss watching you play
There will never be another Kobe, NEVER!!! Kobe is the Nas of basketball.
Man his game is so cold , all his shots be some ridiculous shit my favorite player forever I love watching him play 🙏🏾👑
The best and most exciting player I have ever watched Kobe Bryant the reason I watched basketball he made you never wanna miss a Laker game rip to the Goat 🐐
Kobe was averaging 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists as he was “carried” to the title. If this is being carried then what is contributing lmaooo
Luke Reyes Lmfaooooooo these haters are dumb as fuck
Luke Reyes Shaq definitely was da man in da Finals but if there was a Playoffs MVP or Wcf MVP there is no doubt who da better player was
Facts people saying Kobe needed shaq but bitch shaq needed KOBE
The Greatest Finesser Kobe had some great performances in the playoffs when Shaq was his center. During the finals Shaq had the easiest matchups at the center position so that’s why the offense went through him, but Kobe was great as well and this idea that he was carried is just nonsense. Either people didn’t watch these series or they’re just finding ways to hate because he wasn’t finals MVP smh
Luke Reyes Facts bro I was gonna allude to dat point Shaq definitely had inferior competition but he still dominated Kobe definitely held his own and one of dose Finals I believe he got injured in Game 4 which hindered his stats context matters
Kobe had everything already as a basketball player at a young age.
Dribbles, drive to the basket, lay-ups, dunks, jumper, 3 pointer, on ball defensive, blocks and a great passer.
And they say Lebron is #1 or #2 all-time??? 😂😂😂
It took kobe 3 years into the league to start shaping up his game and we not going to even talk about passing compared to lbj. Lbj came came out rookie season killing shit. This shit cap and I fuck with kobe but we not going to cap on here
@Kwame Kimoko you right kobe had to come off the bench and play off another great instantly. Lebron james didn't have that luxury and still made it to the finals his fourth year with no superstar unlike kobe. During that 2007 run to the finals at 22. He beat gilbert arenas, Caron butler, Anthony Jamison, Hayward which were all stars first round. He beat jason kidd, Vince Carter, Richard jefferson in their primes second round. 3round he beat detriot. He just didn't top it off for the spurs. You right he passes but also scores and you see him take over games so we not going to cap on here especially clutch. For him to be a first pass guy, he is the all time leader in points in the playoffs and about to be the all time leading scorer in points in nba history 😆. First player to have 30k pts, 10k, rebounds, 10k assists, nobody in history right now have 10k points, 10krebounds, 10k assists in a career but luka might have something to say if longevity comes in play.
Those names have all stars and a couple hall of famers and lbj was a puppy running through they ass. You play who have to play. Kobe play top tier players as well along by shaq bud. Jason kidd, Vince Carter, kg, Paul pierce, Ray allen, rondo, kd, harden, Russell, steph curry, klay thompson, tim duncan and more😆 some of those guys were top 50 and hall of famers
@Kwame Kimoko lbj beat kidd too so we not going to act like kidd was trash. My point I was explaining lol. I don't hate bro I'm speaking facts. Kobe and shaq swept the nets with kidd, keyon Martin which was a all star. Kerry kittles which 6man of the year, mutombo which a former defensive player of the year. Lbj alone beat jason kidd, Vince Carter, rich jefferson. So I don't hate kobe I'm just speaking facts.
Both are about as good at their role as they come. 1 man's role was an assassin snake cherry picking his spots because he had the best coach and most dominant player ever.
The other is a King drafted into the worst situation ever in a league shifting away from his strengths with Armageddon levels of pressure since a teen.
Respect to both
ppl have the audacity to say he was carried smh
Just people who never seen it in person but still try to diminish how great Kobe actually was. I honestly believe that hes the second greatest to ever play behind MJ. So blessed to have witness this greatness from this man. RIP MAMBA!! GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!
27 6 5 2 and 1 in the finals on 50 50 80. And they said he was carried. Jesus
Just cuz he didn't win FMVP doesn't mean he was carried
People just started shitting on Kobe more when he died it's dumb honestly. And their arguement will be like "You wouldn't say that if he didn't pass" like c'mon, look at the numbers for yourself, shaq needed him.
@@nunyabusiness8498 Kobe needed shaq too
@@jasonmoukala8909 agreed
@@jasonmoukala8909 They both did good as a Duo. But Kobe is never ever been carried by Shaq. Only 2010 kids and dumb fans will say that.
These kids don't know bout kobe wear number 8
Pretty sure they know with 2 jerseys up there in the rafters
@@aarontan2197 they know 24 but i don't think they never see him wear number 8 i was talking bout little kids
Yep you feel me 😊 Rocking afro typer lol rip kobe
@@tayebreezy824 why tf are you bringing up little kids?
He should’ve won finals mvp in 2002
This was a great Finals for Kobe, but he ain't winning Finals MVP when Shaq averaged 36 for the series.
But Kobe averaged 27 on 51 percent shooting and 54 percent from 3 and also locked up Jason Kidd
If LeBron played with Shaq then, LeBron probably wouldn't win finals MVP either.
@@TheMrKobeBryant2012 Of course. Michael JORDAN ain't winning finals MVP over Shaq come on
@@TheMrKobeBryant2012 shaq was getting swept out of the lead when Jordan was playing he had his when he left Orlando 98 WCF got swept by Utah could have made it to the finals to play the bulls since he didn't want to play in the East because Jordan came back I'm just saying the real
This dude deserves one finals MVP at least in this three peat. He was the MVP of the playoffs, coming up clutch, playing like the best player in the world!
I agree the east didn't have a true center O'Neal didn't have a match up that why during the 3peat he was getting easy number why Kobe was guarding hall of famers Miller AI and Kidd
Not even close
My my my & how quickly we forget about those PlayOffs
The guy was amazing! He is mount Rushmore
His game is so beautiful. #ripmamba #ripgigi
That team was awesome to watch it was an honor to have seen them play RIP Kobe Bryant and his beautiful daughter GiGi Bryant
I will always remember this series. Kobe's audition. Kobe displayed his signature moves. Especially when they went to New Jersey. Kobe cut his hair during this season. This is definitely my favorite series. Now he had good games but every game in this series Kobe was phenomenal. Best game Game 4 Vs Indiana. Thank you Kobe and the rest of the Lakers for amazing memories. I miss Phil whistling at the players.💛💜
Look at Kobe man 😪 so inspirational 🙏 Love you Kobe #Longlivealegend 👑
RIP KOBE FOREVER MY GOAT 🙏🏾
Legend Of Basketball ✊🐐💯
The GOAT!
Kobe was fantastic in this Finals
This was his finals MVP.
Nope.
@@xaviervega468 Yes it was. Be gone.
@@travisblair3189 Yeah right. Kobe played well, but was still less impacful than Shaq was. You're not winning Finals MVP when you avarage almosot 10 points less a game than your teammate.
@@xaviervega468 Man please. Them crappy centers that Shaq was facing. Kobe's the backbone of those championships.
@@travisblair3189 LOL that's a damn joke. The offense ran through Shaq. The second Kobe started the majority of the shots is the second the 3 peat Lakers stopped winning.
Ahhh this the Kobe from NBA Live 2003 with the leg sleeve.. bruh was Godly in that game
HE LEFT US TOO EARLY GOD BLESS THIS MANS SOUL HIM AND HIS DAUGHTER!!!! I MISS KOBE AND HIS COMPETITIVE SPIRIT WATCHING THIS HURTS MY ❤
Kobe Bryant Best Basketball Player Ever.
That’s all Kobe ever cared about in terms of competing and that was winning. RIP the 🐐
Nah that was Duncan. Guys like Jordan, Kobe, and Lebron wanted to win THEIR way. Duncan just wanted to win period, no matter what role he had to play.
that’s a fact…🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🐐
The man was the 🐐 . Rest easy Mamba 8/24
First they say he was carried by shaq, then they said he'll never win without shaq, boy were they wrong, mamba mentality 🐍, never say never
5:33 He disrespectfully for that one 😭
😭😭😭😭 lmao to you're comment. He ain't gotta do em like that. Rip Kobe.
pure skill and hustle,,not only muscle..
Thank you for this... Kobe had some highlights from this game that don’t even get shown today and he had some PLAYS. We miss you bean every day RIP
RIP Kobe Bryant black mamba will never be forgotten and always have in my heart?❣️💯❤️♥️😇🙏😭😢
You'll be missed black mamba and you will never be forgotten and always have in my heart forever?💗💗💓💓💋💋♥️❣️❤️🙏🙏😭😭😢😢😢
Thank you for this! RIP Kobe
Aight, if you never watched Kidd play, I suggest you watch him. His stats do not tell you how important this dude is. He will control the tempo of the games. He had something special to his game.
Kidd was that nigga...that was my point guard frfr, him and Stockton growing up
This is Kobe Bryant best playoff series. Every game he balled.
Watching this gives me feelings
I can’t explain … Kobe , the old NBA theme song , and everything these players stood on
I know man. The announcers were great . Love the theme sounds
Everytime UA-cam has KOBE'S HIGHLIGHTS VIDEOS i can't watch the whole video without tearing up,💜💛🐍🏆🏀💍,R.I.H.P.KOBE😇🙏🏿
I just realize how good j-kidd is... he actually carry that crappy nets team to the finals...
They wasn’t crappy lol
the nets team were solid but definitely not a great team.
The season before they were bad then he comes and next thing you know they in 2 straight nba finals lol
Yeh and he can't get past the second rd in the west. Just showed how weak the east back then.
KB824 should’ve been finals MVP that year! And he definitely goes down in history as the ✌🏾 GREATEST playa of ALL TIME! Next to GOAT MJ23 of course✊🏾💪🏾
This entire highlight reel is Kobe Bryant at his best. MAMBA FOREVER 🐍🏀🔥
I was very fortunate to see the Lakers 3 peat in real time, I remember this sweep of the New Jersey Nets as if it was yesterday. I was 13 when this series was live. With that said, Kobe and Shaq were the best one two punch in Assocation history. MJ literally carried the Bulls in the 90s and Kobe and Shaq needed each other to win 3 in a row and go to 4 Finals appearances in 5 years. They went in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004 when they lost to the Detroit Pistons. No doubt Kobe should have won MVP honors for the 2002 NBA Finals against the NJ Nets.
back to back to back courtesy of kobe & shack & LA team WIN OR LOSS IM A LAKERS FAN !!!
number 8 kobe was a problem rest in power kobe
Forever Legend-Forever Mamba💜🐍
"Making the spectacular look routine, on a consistent basis." FACTS from Bill Walton💯
i love kobe,,more power in his heart every game he plays,,,
Kobe Bryant should have been the 2002 NBA Finals MVP
And then you woke up. Delete this bs
KOBE ALL ROUND GAME IS SOOOOO SMOOTH
Kobe deserved western conference finals mVp many years… and the WCF was always the most difficult challenge for them.
Facts the wcf was really the finales
Here we go!!! 3 peat!!! ThanX 4 the 60fps highlights!!! OMG!!!!
That “ I’m alright “ for the elbow to face question.
U can see how cold blooded dude always was .
Kobe was doing those so called Curry land shots @ 5:35 before Stepahnie Curry was even in high school...RIP Mamba
He was but don't be hating on Curry now. You don't have to diminish one all time great to build up another.
What's the point of dissing curry when he's accomplished something you never did in basketball 😂
throw it dooooown Kobe Bryant throw it doooown
NEVER heard anyone mention how Kobe was basically the Point Guard for the Lakers 70-80 percent of their plays
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐💜💛💯...8/24 💍🏆💍🏆💍🏆💍🏆💍🏆WE TRULY MISS YOU,KOBE🥺
i can't imnagine how tough vanessa has been through since kobe and gigi. gone if i can't easily. move on. as kobe's fan vanessa and. nani. am sure. can't really sleep. well can't lived peacefuly because they misses their love ones.
This series shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Kings are the 2002 champions ❤
He had that MJ swag for real this game. Kobe was different. Jordan’s peak is the pinnacle and Kareem and now LeBron has an overall better/longer/ healthier career but as far as peak, there are about 10 players or so who if you had their best 13 years who would win you chips. I prefer Kobe. He had 3 years with no shot in his prime and still 7 Finals appearances and 5 wins. Shaq best year was 2000 and still Kobe had to take over late against Portland in the 7th game down double digits. And even hurt, pivotal game 4 in the Finals late play. I love Shaq but Kobe was different. It’s like how I loved Magic but I feared Larry more than anyone else. He was different
Facts 💯
Exactly. Shaq even knew kobe was better than him thats why hewas jealous of kobe
Hes better than lebron. Longevity isnt better than quality.
@@DominiqueWilliams-ue3rx Exactly!!!
Please lets not pretend the Lakers were Kobe's team during the 3 peat. Revisionist history ain't gonna fly.
Nothing like kobe highlights
WOW,ITS LIKE HE'S STILL WITH US😲😳🥺😰😭😭😭
Rip to Kobe and dr buss
Rip kobe💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛
He's the reason i play ball. Forever Legend ♾️
This is when the NBA was still the NBA!!
I miss you kobe mambatalent
Rip kobe miss u already family plus GG rip her too wish we could of saw her skills fully develop
Kobe Bryant's the type of player to stay along after the game Or after practice and practice more. Iverson Wanted to go to the club and Kobe Bryant went to the gym that just shows what kind of character Kobe is. Kobe Bryant when the game is On the line he puts up a shot most times is going in and you can count on kobe bryant.
I always say Kobe deserve that MVP
Kobe is the goat 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Shouldn't SHAQ have at least 5-6 rings,instead of the 4,he was supposed to be more dominant than he was,just a thought,thumbs up if anybody agrees
Kobe wanted revenge on Kittles because he was drafted before him. Dude had no chance.
Kobe Bryant the Best Ever.
It's not an easy series that team is an eastern conference champion they just made it look so fucking easy.
1:Kobe most skilled, hardest worker his game was more up to date than MJ as far as handles outside shooting and playmaking
2:Jordan won 6 straight with Scottie Pippen
3:Duncan
4:Kareem
5: Lebron James one of the best stat fillers ever
6:Larry Bird battled a packed LA squad
7:Magic Johnson
8: Hakeem dominated Shaq
9:Isiah Thomas Pistons very underrated captain
10: Curry. Without the best shooter ever who where the warriors? Not three time champions
How in god’s name are you seeing more skill in Kobe Bryant’s game than in Michael Jordan’s? Your sentence “more up to date as far as handles, outside shooting and playmaking” is so vague it seems like you really don’t believe what you’re trying to articulate. What was Kobe better at than Jordan in the game of basketball?
@@HT-sm9dm ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, that's why Jordan was more accomplished in his 1st 9 years with the the bulls then Kobe was in his 20 years with the Lakers. he was speaking from a fanboy's perspective.😂😂😂
@@HT-sm9dm he has every skill in the book. He is the most skilled player on offense there ever was, Michael Jordan is skilled as well, but I'd put Kobe ahead because of the variety and difficulty of the shots he took
Amukelani Ebenezer dude. Stop it. No really. Stahppp ittttt.
@@HT-sm9dm lol sorry bro I didn't wanna hurt you. A civil discussion is what I though could happen
20 years later, the 2000-2002 Lakers are still the LAST TEAM to three-peat in the four major sports in the U.S.
Still watching this on 2023. Rest in peace mah man kobe bean!
Used to love those alternate New Jersey uniforms.
#8 Kobe is my favourite Kobe..
Kobe could've Easily had more championships than Jordan had the Lakers organization build a decent team after Shaq left, those years were truly wasted.
That wouldn't of made him better and let's not forget that Jordan RETIRED in the middle of his PRIME so all that meant was Jordan would've won 8 straight finals had he not retired.
So gland you uploaded this whole series, before Kobe passed I was always looking for one 💯🙏🏾
Your page Is the best man. Where do you get all of your footage?
Keep this series going can you do every Kobe finals pls RIP to my fav player ever
Type it on UA-cam they are there. Forever Mamba
Shooting "curry range" before curry.
Even with all the superteams nowadays not one of em has been able to get the 3 peat since this great team did it.
😂😂😂😂😂 they suck
That boy kobe
Man I miss the NBA on NBC 🤙🏽
RIP kobe. You will always be the goat to me. Thanks for the inspiration.
A thing of beauty, poetry in motion.
Damn Dr. Jerry Buss, Commissioner David Stern and The Great Kobe Bryant R.I.P....😔😔😔
Can we talk about Shaq and Fox congratulating Mitch Richmond for finally getting a ring?
KOBE DESERVE 1 FMVP🏀🔥
One thing I really like in this finals is that I think Kobe did better than the year prior despite the decrease in stats. He sacrificed stats to play unselfish. I’m saying this as someone who’s called Kobe selfish for most of his career.
Miss you kobe
Kobe and Shaq is like the equivalent of Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain teaming up. Jordan would have to defer to Wilt Chamberlain as Kobe did to Shaq.
Kobe should be the finals mvp here
He stayed in the offense, made the extra pass when he needed to. They moved the ball around back then, there were so many plays when Kobe would make a pass to point B that led to a pass to point C for an open look. No one back then was trying to get a triple double , they were following a game plan trying to win. Today doesn’t matter how many times you lose as long as you have the stats
Lebron aint better than kobe.
14:53 - 15:00 Even after the whistle, and the game clearly over. Cheered or booed, that DUNK by #8 caught your attention. Unbelievable!
