Kobe Bryant, Gilbert Arenas
SUPER-DUEL Full Highlights (Rare)
LA Lakers vs Washington Wizards
February 3, 2007
Verizon Center
KB - 39 pts, 6r, 6a, 2s / 14-26 fg, 2-5 3pt, 9-10 ft
GA - 37 pts, 5r, 4a, 1s / 9-29 fg, 3-15 3pt, 16-17 ft
Kobe and Gil duel in their Part 2 battle of the 2006-07 season. Part 1 on December 17th included the famous 60 from GA while Kobe got 45 as the Wizards defeated the Lakers in overtime. 60 still stands as the highest total scored against the Lakers at Staples. It’s 2nd to Shaq’s 61 for most scored by a Staples opponent (Clippers included).
Part 2 saw Kobe go for 39 on an efficient 14-26. Gil got 37, but shot it poorly at 9-29. Although LA pulled out the win, it didn’t take away from Arenas’ display of fearlessness when challenged by his superstar contemporary. On multiple possessions following a Kobe score, Gil found Bryant guarding him and immediately waved off his teammates, choosing to isolate. Arenas had an amazing NBA career, was a lethal scorer during his peak, but 2 of his most memorable plays came amidst a regular season game in February. This regular season game, vs Kobe. It includes the killer cross layup in the 1st half, and the cross 4-point play in the 2nd. Similar to Young Iverson’s cross on Jordan, Gil going at Prime Kobe, shaking him twice with a cross and scoring both times makes the tape for any Agent 0 career highlight mix.

Did anyone ever “duel” Kobe better than Arenas did in 2006-07??
T-Mac duel in Orlando in 2003. They both went at it that year.
D-Wade's 40 on Christmas day comes to mind, but I'll go with Arenas at number one.
This game wasn't no duel. Kobe went 14-26 for 38. Gilbert went 9-29 for 35. Kobe shot over 50% Gilbert shot 30%. That's not a duel. 1 guy just wanted his points regardless if the team won the game lol
caldwmc at least get the point totals right. 39 and 37
caldwmc read the description, more than just numbers to it
bro i can't believe you found this game..super rare!
Yeah man, its a good one
3:56 kobe missing an easy dunk & then throws down a 360 the very next possession is my favorite part
That's kobe for you
my favorite part too, miss a dunk? dont go back on defense, grandstand and wait for a cherry pick pass, then all by yourself look around like, "where is the defense man" and do a uncontested (judges give a 7.5 average) 360 dunk. a lesson for all the young players, mamba mentality
@@jerluc7209 mamba mentality was to do it more flashy but this time make it
I mean he really hustled back on defence before basically cherry picking for the 360 and would have definitely had the player that passed to him benched if he hadn't have lobbed him a 40 footer pass
@@jerluc7209 That's funny, I didn't read your comment until mine was posted in reply to the original one
Damn Gil attempted 15 3s haha crazy a lot of players at that time weren’t attempting that many 3s at that time he was ahead of his time
He didn’t do this consistently tho
@@A1thesaucegod nobody did....
Notice back then how they went under ball screens lol. Thats unheard of today with all the shooters we have now.
I think this was the most 3s he attempted his whole career because he never took this many
Crazy this game looks better amd more competitive than most of the games in 2023-2024
I've never seen someone put Kobe on skates like that saids a lot about how good Arenas really was. Because Kobe was the best defensive player at his position his entire career.
Lol his entire career is a stretch definitely
@@folkscrazyouthere3076 imma Kobe fan and you can tell from my profile pic but iverson did
Tony Parker had Kobe on skates since 2003
Facts
@folkscrazyouthere3076 no it's not
One of my favorite Kobe games. Really loved how Gilbert gave Kobe a challenge during the 2007 season.
You can tell this meant something to both players. You don't take matchups like this for granted. It's basically mental, at that point. They're both in their element.
They was trolling each other 😊
Gilbert Arenas crossover was special!
This is when Kobe knew Gilbert was serious business. "We beat cha'll but this dude still managed 37 points? My man". R.I.P. Kobe!
9-29
9 from 29. Are u ppl dumb
Arenas 37 point on 9/29 attempts on 31% shooting 👌yeah Arenas wasn’t that good 😂😂😂
@@Kingdoscuatro yeah because when you average 27+ for 3 years before turning 26 years old your clearly not that good lol😂😂
@@negrosfinished didn’t he shoot like below 41% for those 3 years 🤣🤣🤣
Kobe went against monster to tmac spurs, Dirk , Steve nash & Stoudemire. Big celtic 3. Baron Davis wit warriors. Melo, A.I, lebron, Michael jordan last season, shaq. Ray Allen. Like damn
List goes on buddy
And he still gets disrespected
It’s easy for Gilbert because he only has to worry about offensive, he didn’t have to guard Kobe. Kobe had to play offensive and guard Gilbert. That take so much energy. That’s how great Kobe was
Exactly. Kobe had it both ways. Arenas did not guard elite players but was an offensive machine.
Exactly
Gilbert went 9/29 Fga on 31% shooting 😂
That's why basketball is a TEAM sport, you have to get ALL the PIECES to play a part ! Not necessary to have a (go to guy) to guard the Best player ! That is pure bull !
@@rodneymckinnon9075lol plus Gil was 3 inches shorter as well
here from pg podcast
I’ve been looking for these Kobe highlights for eight years. Thanks man.
No prob dude 👌
I think Duncan and kobe had a underrated classic battle in the playoffs in 1999..of course we got swept that series...kobe was only 20 then..#youngmamba
Love these. Arenas was no joke!
Damn Arenas was no joke back then. Kobe had a hard time guarding him.
No he didn’t lol
Highlights are highlights. Arenas shot the ball terrible this game
Arenas went 9-29 this game
@@marlowstanfield6815 he also dropped 37 points
@@marlowstanfield6815 that’s some my career shit 😂😂
Yo watching these 2. Imagine if they were teammates in some alternate universe. That backcourt would have been a menace. They were both pure scorers. Rip Kobe and Gigi 💐🕊🕊
I think Kobe was trying to get him on the Lakers at one point;definitely would be the first version of the splash brothers.
BEEEEEN LOOKING FOR THESE CLIPS OF THIS GAME FOR A YEAR !!! Thank you 🌹🌹🌹🌹
I don’t even know how many years it’s been now that I’ve been looking for these highlights ! Awesome thanks!
Glad you enjoyed!
Only Kobe would blow a bunny, then do a 360 on the next possession lmao. The best, man. 3:55
Very on brand for Kobe Bean 😂😂
Yeah you really did your thing pulling this up. Perfect timing with recent G.A. interviews
I appreciate that, and yeah i’ve noticed a wave of views and watch time coming in last couple of weeks. I could listen to Gilbert talk all day long, the guy is a filterless basketball savant.
@@dcshow Gilbert has the most interesting basketball podcast, no Chill
Sorry, one more thing: Kobe didn't guard Arenas much in this game, and Arenas was 9-29, only 4 assists and 3 TO's. Lotta bricks. During Arenas' 60 point game earlier, Kobe only guarded him in the OT (and Arenas scored 15 points!). But in neither game did Arenas guard Kobe (only on switches, which were rare). Still, I've changed my mind about Arenas. Dude was on fire for 3 years.
Thanks for putting the record straight!
Hate these phony lame fake narratives they throw around which is so false.
Hate social media lying about players!
Arenas didn’t guard Kobe at all
@@crypto_guapoGilbert did guard him at times
Omg thank u bro 😁😁😁 I was smiling hard af when I saw this upload 🙏🙏🙏
No problem man, glad to hear 👌
Another classic upload. Greatly appreciated
No prob, thanks for the support 🙏
Super Rare! Thank you!
Seeing Kobe and arenas shoot Free throws back in forward is very refreshing
Been trying to find these highlights since 2007 smh good stuff bro 👌🏽
You got it man, no problem
thank you hard to find this. on his podcast Gil said this was his favorite game not the 60 point one, because the 60 point one caught Kobe by surprise. this game Gil was truly on his radar and even though wizards lost he stood his ground against the black mamba. can u upload the full game?
Ur welcome 👌 and ive heard that as well. Really surprised himself there. Even tho he only shot 9-29, dude went straight at kobe on multiple possessions. The cross layup and cross 4 point play 2 of his greatest highlight plays. And sorry but i wont be uploading the full game.
@@dcshow 9 from 29 isn't holding your own
@@dombryant2563 yeah its holding your own when you score 39 on Kobye, and beating him without an all star squad on his home floor is more than holding his own.
and yes he was on kobys radar the 60 point game too, just like he said about AI when he got 40 on him, not on his radar...lol
@@jerluc7209 Kobe wasn’t his primary defender is either game tho
@@dcshow
I'm sorry but someone has to adress you and the folks in here.
Arenas did NOT score 60 on Kobe.
He scored 20 points on him in that game in LA and MAJORITY of them was in the 4th.
So please watch and study games before y'all just CASUALLY writing something that isn't REALITY!
Hate the fake narratives and media BS even "content creators" are dropping without even seeing them games.
Do better!
Damn man ! What a time being from DC and the first time watching ball was seeing the lakers crazy so I fell in love with the lakers but I fuck with my home team and respect em ... this wizards team was the best of my life time man I miss this time I was 50/50 all game Kobe 360 arena’s 3 man shit was live
Kobe highlights with Kobe bars @ the end. Both rare content = New subscriber. Thank you! 💜💛
I loved playing with this team on 2k. Gil killed it.
Before tip off Kobe says to Gilbert Arenas “Remember you asked for this”
I miss these days. 💯
Wow yall found pt.2 of this MAMBAvsAGENT 0 rivalry 👍🏿👍🏿,thank you very ,very much....
#SIP to my favorite player #KOBE and #Salute to my fellow #arizonawildcats alum Gilbert Arenas! #classic #memories
Damn, that’s a legend duel, prime Gilbert V.S.prime Kobe! Thx bro!
Thx bro!
👌
4:22 Arenas got the jet, people forgot about that.
8:00 That's COLD and the turn around.
Gil and T-Mac vs Kobe was always a must-watch back then.
Had to come see this 37 game again after Gil said on VladTV that this was his fav. game vs Kobe and not the 60 piece. This the one Kobe declared war on him before the game and Gil didn't no-show it, said it gained Kobe's respect.
Hubert was strong asl wit an arsenal to rival Kobe’s, packed house they knew it was gonna be a duel
That and 1 tree pointer on Kobe was iconic
I was at this game bro wtff when Gilbert lit 🔥 up for 60! Man I was so mad first time I ever saw Kobe play too
you deserve an award for this video... where did u find this wow
Jordan never faced scores like Kobe I’m sorry Kobe era was tough
Yes and no. MJ had perimeter scorers he had to face such as Dominique wilkins, Clyde Drexler, Reggie Miller, Chris Miller,Larry Bird, Grant Hill,Mitch Richmond. Sir he faced a plethora of scorers. So did Kobe as well. Now are we going by what they had in the bag as far as skills.
Before the injury, Arenas was a scoring (not just shooting) machine. He could score in so many different ways. He brags about his 2nd to 6th NBA seasons yes, but what he brags about is true. From 2002-03 to 2006-07, he was really HIBACHI 🔥🍳. Yes, his stats in those 5 seasons (around 24 ppg and 6 apg) could compete with ANYBODY'S best 5-consecutive-seasons run in the modern era of the NBA.❤
Sure he’s a bonafide offensive threat but none of all that really matters if you do nothing in the postseason
The N.B.A.in the early 2000s ,was ssoo sick wasn't it??? It was like every team had at least 2-3 Allstars,& KOBE&SHAQ& the LAKERS were the real KINGS OF THE N.B.A.,& everyone was trying to dethrone the KINGS👑👑💜💛,that's what made the games ssoo lit 💥💥🌋🌋🔥🔥🔥☄☄,man those years were epic,i sure miss those days...the whole 2000s-2017,18...was great from'18-till this day&age,the league gotbsoft&watered down some kinda way...i.m.o.🤔😒
Nice throwback. I already sub to your channel
🙏
@@dcshow can i borrow that video once you find it? I'm making kobe one one plays against igoudala. That's the only match that i've been missing.
8:59 is very KOBE 😂😂😂
Came back to this video again after the article on Kobe Day
My dawg
Best commentary

Dude! Been looking for this game for a longtime! Thanks RIP Mamba😭😭😭
I really believe that younger people really don’t know how lethal Agent 0 was! Dude was fast as hell and he was a walking bucket.
Why Gil cooking my man like that 😭😭😭🔥🔥
Cooking how if Gil went 9/29 on 31% 😂
@@Kingdoscuatro he gave him 40 lol😂doesnt matter how the result is the result
@@negrosfinished 40? Wasn’t it 37?
Didn’t he shoot like 31% 🤣???
I grew up in MD, so I had to put up with these homer Wizards announcers. They were better than The Boston announcers by miles, though. Still, Buckhantz got on my nerves! Lol! Great video, my man!
Kobe shaking and baking them, boy this is going to be a game to remember. These Kobe's babies keep getting better and better. I love to see him get revenge, HIS TAKING NO PRISONER GAME. Then again that could be every game, oh well we still love them and him. Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, yes, yes, yes, yes, it's Kobe Time. Hang on to your hats, everybody because Kobe is about to set the Arena off. We're loving it, like Mickey Dee.
How do you find these ? Do you have them recorded on tape ?
They didn't have the All-Star Game in 1999 cause of the lockout 3:38
Hope you can upload december 31 2006 kobe bryant highlights vs the sixers. KOBE scored 35 on that game
Repect to Gil but Kobe man damnnn he was too nice for those wizards he was doing what ever he wanted on the floor you can see it
Being an avid Kobe/Laker fan, I appreciate this vid. I always thought Arenas was a loud mouthed-shoot first point guard, with MAD skills and elite quickness. And....he was! LOL.... but after looking at other Arenas vids and checking his stats,.... his stats during the 3 years with the Wizards (2004-07, before his major injury) actually compare to Kobe's stats in the same time. Arenas had 3-5 pts/game avg. fewer than Kobe, yes, but otherwise they were "almost" equal. Except Arenas was never known as a good/great defender, and he didn't do well keeping his teammates in the game, but then again, the Wiz had very few scorers on those teams (Antawn Jamison was solid 20 per). And Gilbert wasn't the killer and the winner like Kobe/MJ, but who was? So this vid changed my perception of Gilbert Arenas as a player. Thank you for posting this!
Awesome analyzation 👌
I say evenly matched but a onslaught of viciousness matches
Best era of ball idc wat anyone say 98 to 2013
Gil lived at the line
I was at this game, God the memories
Fun matchup !
After this game.. Kobe had no words..😂😂 just said every had no conscience.....That's how cold Gil was
Hope you find it. I really want to see the footage very badly
Gil is like a right handed harden
This was also the day after that Gilbert Arenas and Deshaun Stevenson shooting contest happened. Funny thing is Gilbert shot pretty bad from the field and the three while Deshaun Stevenson shot like 5/7 from three or something like that
that cross at 1:33 gahdamn
And the finish 🔥
Anybody else watch these old games and point out everywhere a euro step or a step back would have been perfect lol
Gil was my favorite non-laker right next to Jermaine O'Neal. Hibachi!!! On a side note, how about that Vladimir Radmonovic call out right when the game started lmao.
This game happened 15 years ago today.
arenas underrated
People talk bad about Gilbert because he was selfish yes because he was on bad team yes and because he had green light. With that said he was basically Harden without the theatrics and tricks, and against more physicality. Dude could ball. Respect his opinions, he was a real one.
Whether someone can ball or not does not make me decide if I respect their opinion. Its if they being truthful or not, making sense or not.
YOU HAVE A GOOD COLLECTION. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD MATCHES FULLY.
This happened 17 years ago today.
AGENT 0 WAS FIRE 🔥
For 3 seasons (2005-07) Arenas had MONSTER years: 25.5, 29.3, 28.4 ppg. He was that one rare player on a poor team that was allowed to shoot as many times as he wanted to. However, is career fg% is bad (.406) and was only average 3 point shooter (33%). I don't like the comparisons to Kobe. Most importantly, he rarely guarded Kobe, whereas Kobe WANTED to guard Arenas (and did for a majority of plays). Arenas was more like Iverson (but only for 3 years), but Iverson averaged more assists. Arenas DEFINITELY stepped up to the challenge vs. Kobe, and wasn't afraid of him. For that, he gets props.
Ive watched this game on cable
Gil is my all time favorite player
I remember this. As a Wizards fan I was so mad I broke my coffee table.
8:00 turned around b4 the shot went in 🔥🔥
Arenas was a stud back then
Gilbert sent me here with that vlad interview
Came here after watching the vlad interview.. Gilbert Arenas is hilarious 😂
Notice how kobe guarded Gilbert but Gilbert didn't want no smoke!!!!!?????
Gil had the boy kobe on skates few times 😅
The way Gilbert describes it is like he iso'd kobe the whole game. First play screen 😂
no load management, play all game full intensity , damn i miss that era
Here cause Gill was On Vlad
Gilbert was literally Sonic
1:33 crazy cross
Poor Smush Parker was getting every bucket from Gil.
I forgot how Gil had Kobe on skates
Gil is the original Harden, may have been even better if played under today's 3 pointers era
He averaged 29. Imagine now he’d be gettin like 33-35 easy
0:49 Seconds in: Double dribble on Kobe...
Wasn't called...
Nah he didnt have control
who came from the podcast p?
