@@paoerfulone1089 bird can score on anyone but he isn't a pure scorer. His career averages could have been higher if he wants to but he'll do what the team needs.
@@paoerfulone1089 my exact same Tmac > Bird, although as much as i dont want to say lebron is a scorer hes points all time says otherwise but you can roll the dice with KD & LBJ
just so fucking great. pure damn greatness. love looking at the opposing team's bench players' reactions after Kobe catches fire and makes unreal shots
He was the best in the league at this point he was the talk of SportsCenter and all the sports shows during this season because of the scoring streaks and how much he improved from the previous year
Was never really a Kobe fan but any time I wanted to get hyped, I'd come watch these highlights. I used to hate on him for copying MJ and I still think it's weird how he even tried to talk and look like him but as someone who grew up idolizing MJ, if you're going to copy someone, copy the greatest. I won't say I became a fan of Kobe after he died but I did develop way more of an appreciation for him. Kobe, Patrice O'Neal and Neil Peart are the only celebrity deaths I have ever cried over. Kobe's was so horrific and such a sobering reminder of how fragile life is. The man could be something like a god on a basketball court but his death was just an awful reminder of how we're all just flesh and blood.
I was a kid and watching this game live. I wanted tickets so bad but they were so expensive. So watching at home and despite being a Knicks fan, I lost my shit when he did that dunk. I got yelled at by my aunt cuz I literally went batshit. I had never seen something like that happen in real time. 😂😂
Geez, showing the full arsenal. I don't even think MJ had the bag that Kobe did during this time. The most entertaining player to watch in NBA history no doubt.
This is when the Colorado stuff came out... lost endorsements, marriage on rocks, and some players and beat writers were saying he couldn't do this etc, play like etc.... Perfect game on Perfect stage to show media, everyone Mamba mentality
So what's the excuse to not give Kobe the MVP that year? his team not only made the playoffs but made the Finals as well. fact is Kobe was robbed of at least 3 more MVPs.
Love Kevin Harlan saying Kobe Bryant is an assassian, Kobe Bryant is a flame thrower, and Kobe Bryant with no regard for human life!!!
I love it when Kevin Harlan does Kobe's games.
Yes bro!!!! He is awesome.
Yes
He did not say that about him. SMFH.
@@easportsitsindagame Did you watch the video ??
Fun fact: 50 cent’s GRODT album came out the same day this game was played, crazy!
this version of kobe was fucking unstoppable
this version of kobe was insane, 10/10 skill & 10/10 athleticism
One of the best in game dunks of all time
Yea whats great too is how he sets it up with plays like 1:20 forcing spreewell to have to stay up tight.
Just an offensive master.
Kobe was a dangerous in game dunker just like vince mcgrady Desmond mason and j rich
The walkoff was cold AF.
It was a looooong night for Sprewell. Prime Kobe was one of the top 5 pure scorers in NBA history.
And #1 esthetically
The top 5 pure scorers in the nba history at this time were mj kobe Tmac iverson and Melo . Now KD has taken Melo spot in the top 5
@@Maxjuliann My five would be MJ, Kobe, Bird, KD, and Steph.

Kobe is the GOAT
perfected the difficulty of basketball
Kobe should of been MVP this year too
Over Duncan? Stupid even in hindsight.
Yes, his best year and led a terrible roster to 50+ wins. Better this year than 2008.
Rip Kobe...my favorite highlight
Kobe is MJ remixed 1 & 2 all time IMO.
no weaknesses offensively lol everyone grew up learning from these Kobe highlights and put it in their own game.
Yup! Bought a copy of 3 kobes games from 03 and learned a lot back in the day
For some reason, this is my favorite kobe bryant game; it's probably because of the consecutive difficult shots that he made.
My personal favorite game of Kobe
just so fucking great. pure damn greatness. love looking at the opposing team's bench players' reactions after Kobe catches fire and makes unreal shots
Only Kobe could make Shaq look like a role player. What an evening that was. What a talent he was.
That dunk was nasty! Oh my goodness!
Kobe was the best player on the Lakers in 2002-03
This was the 2002-2003 season
@@phillipfasanya2910 sry meant 02-03
He was the best in the league at this point he was the talk of SportsCenter and all the sports shows during this season because of the scoring streaks and how much he improved from the previous year
I think it was Kobe , McGrady and Duncan As the top players in 2003 . Shaq was hurt a good portion of that season
That three after that dunk nigga was cold👿
The dunk! @ 2:09 Great post thank you!
Imagine seeing that Kobe reverse dunk live
lol god damn sprewell got destroyed guarding kobe
Im sure jordan dropped 40+ on drexler too, you just cant guard guys like kobe and michael
+TheTVChannel did you just compare sprewell to Clyde?
kemarion aleem oh right, cuz drexler is such a God on defense that he can't be compared to Sprewell, god forbid right
+TheTVChannel I wasn't talking about defense i was talking about player to player comparison

Not a Kobe Fan? How? You don’t have to like him personally but you can’t deny his basketball greatness. You don’t know basketball if you’re not a fan.
Beast mode
Kobe is my 2nd favorite NBA PLAYER!!! ❤❤😊😊❤😊❤😊❤😊😊❤😊❤😊❤️ 🤩 😍
Putting on a clinic in New York. RIP Mamba🙏🏽🕊
Kobe with 46 Shaq with a 30 piece greatest duo of all time.
RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES!!! (6:24)
Goat
goat
top 5 most unguardable perimeter players ever in their prime : MJ, kobe , Tmac, KD, James Harden
The moment shaq realize Kobe can dominate the game better than him with high amount of showmanship and thrill . unfortunately shaq couldn't take it
Cringe lol shaq carried kobe
@@NotAnAstronaut2ksmoothbrain comment
2:10-2:31 vintage KOBE!
all facials lord have mercy kobe bryant
I don't think even Michael could hit those shots
He couldn’t Kobe is best bad shot maker of all time
Boy was putting on a clinic! I felt frustrated for the defenders 😂😂😂
I'm not sure if 2002-2003 season was the year Kobe added and introduced the 3 point game in his arsenal on a full time basis.
The day I was born
Nice
I rock with spree fa still competing though. Kobe busted em but he played d all night and he had 24, still showed love afterwards too
Long live Kobe
Kobe was smoother than MJ
I was a kid and watching this game live. I wanted tickets so bad but they were so expensive. So watching at home and despite being a Knicks fan, I lost my shit when he did that dunk.
I got yelled at by my aunt cuz I literally went batshit. I had never seen something like that happen in real time. 😂😂
Bro i remember this game!!
Top 5 Kobe reg season games
Geez, showing the full arsenal. I don't even think MJ had the bag that Kobe did during this time. The most entertaining player to watch in NBA history no doubt.
Bruh never seen a Shaq and Kobe game that compares to this
2:45 nice defense in the inbound pass shaq lmao
There’s just no way anyone was better than this guy Mj at basketball.
lol he did this on my 1st birthday
Kobe schooled sprewell
This is when the Colorado stuff came out... lost endorsements, marriage on rocks, and some players and beat writers were saying he couldn't do this etc, play like etc....
Perfect game on Perfect stage to show media, everyone
Mamba mentality
lebrons never had a game like this regardless of his point total. he doesn't make it look this impressive.
Then Houston dropped 53 on the Lakers ten days later
2:26
showtime
Kobe Bryant could of dropped 56 points
he was toying Spree 😭😭😭
Best dunk 2:13
So what's the excuse to not give Kobe the MVP that year? his team not only made the playoffs but made the Finals as well.
fact is Kobe was robbed of at least 3 more MVPs.
Jason Quiroz he only led his team to 50 wins. Duncan led his team to 60 wins. KG also led his team to 51 wins so both of them were more deserving
Lakers were not in the finals in 2003..
Jason Quiroz They didn't make the finals
Jason Quiroz no they did not sorry I'm kobe fan spurs won this year and eliminated the lakers second round😂
Unfortunately Kobe was robbed out of multiple mvp awards. No way he swhould only have one as great as he was
Howd the knicks get close in the 4th 😆
Why tf didn’t Allan Houston help out ?
When my boy kobe had a clean hairline
@Tyler Hingleton facts rip 😪
Then he got old
I mean Jordan's hairline was gone by age 27.
Easily the wettest 3 that Kobe made in his career. 7:21
