Lebron ruined it lol he lost to Dwight howard?! And then the next season against Celtics which that one is understandable cuz Celtics had the superteam
This was when LeBron could go for 38, 13 and 9 (should be 15 assists but... I'll explain next sentence) but his best teammates all go 2-11, 4-15, 3-14 and 1-8 but he's the only one blamed for the loss. Good times.
TF are you talking about. Mo Williams lead the Cavs in scoring this game dropping 28. It's Kobe who had no help with Pau scoring 13. Kobe had 35 and 8 assists btw. You know what's funny ppl act like Pau was this savior, Mo Williams averaged the same amount of points as Pau lol Gasol gave the Lakers 2 good seasons when they won their 2 rings averaging 18. 18 is NOT anything special. Marc Gasol was getting 18 more Rebs and the best defender in the league but ppl dont praise Marc. Bosh and Love averaged 18 as the 3rd option. For his other seasons in LA Gasol averaged 12 points in the playoffs. He was injured half the time and couldn't walk.
@@GJG_3stop it lol...the big difference with Mo and Gasol,was the inside presence,offensively and defensively...was a different and more effective impact on the game,to go along with Kobe,that's what Kobe needed...that's why Cavs lost to Orlando,they were small on perimeter,with West and Williams,Orlando had 2 big guys that could handle the ball and shoot in Turk and R.Lewis,Lebron was only one who could match up and nobody to deal with D.Howard inside,he dominated...Zeke was too slow for him,overwhelmed him...that inside/outside game they had killed Cleveland,Lebron did what he could,but just too much...
i feel like the one pierce this team needed to get them over the Celtics hump was Chris Bosh, imagine if he joined Bron in Cleveland around this time, they would have met with the Lakers in the Finals for sure
For those people who said Lebron wouldn’t match with MJ. He beat Kobe even before his prime on a crappy team vs Bryant’s prime with a championship team. Their head to head battles have always favored Lebron but naysayers refuse to acknowledge it
@Marlon Cabrera lmao, you do know that Lebron has more clutch shots overall, even in the playoffs Kobe and MJ combined? lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂 but hey keep going off ..... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really don't see how Kobe was better Lebron except in one on one situations. That's a testament to Kobe's skill continuous development of his offensive skill set. But even in their head to heads before Bron's Miami days Lebron still edges him out in terms of wins.
Lebron usually out performed Kobe head to head. Whether some people want to admit it or not. Wish we could have seen them play against each other in the post season.
Pshh for real lebron almost every time they played lebron out played him very good games back and forth from both of them for sure but I agree I wish we saw them in the playoffs match up now that would be crazy
Thank you for the video. Nostalgia. The way Kobe switched to his left is a thing of beauty. As he said in his book about using both hands. Rest in peace Mamba. You are missed

I remember that year very well. Lebron’s supporting cast did well during the regular season but didn’t show up offensively against Orlando. I honestly think it was just a bad matchup. Orlando was long at the wings and could hit open 3s with Dwight getting so much attention in the paint
Offensively nah. They couldn't get stops when it mattered and everyone of the Magic had a big time clutch 3 at just the right time. They also gave themselves an opportunity to go up 3-1 against the Lakers if they closed out game 2 and 4 properly but they choked

+AD Bolling I know that you are a Cavs fan b4 a Lebron fan, and that's perfectly reasonable. However, there is no way you can truly believe that roster is any good. In fact, the 2007 Cavs team was the worst team to make it to the finals in the last 20+ years. Only the 2001 76ixers can be considered as bad. You don't even have to look that far, just compare the Laker roster in that game, vs the Cavs! Besides LBJ, the only advantage the Cavs had was in the PG position thanks to a Prime Mo Williams, in the rest of the positions (Including Coach) the lakers win hands down. Prime Metta or Larry Hughes? Almost 40 Shaq, or Prime Bynum? Drew Gooden or Pau Gasol? Mike Brown; the worst coach ever, or Phill Jackson? No comparison...

at 22 Lebron was in the Finals with a below average team. In HS Lebron won two championships. And was drafted out of HS. When he left a team the became the worst team in the leage. Comes back and they win. MJ as great as he is, yet at 22 was swept in first round and lost many first rounds. Also cut from HS team. When he left a team they were cheated out of going to the finals. People should stop making it seem like Lebron is a nobody. Jordan's is great but 6 rings just not enough to reach 11.
Lol Jordan's was playing the legendary team(eventual champions) of Celtics in 1986 in the First Round thats why he got swept and only 2nd yr in the league while Lebron was playing the mediocre Washington Wizards lol, thats the difference. Lebron's competition in the East is weak thats why in 2008 to 2010 Boston and Orlando beat Lebron's ass
But what happened the first 2 yrs lebron was in the league in 2003-2004 and 2004-2005? Why didnt they make the playoffs. And how come they faced 2 41 win teams in route to the ECF in 2007? N how did they enter the playoffs as a 4th seed in 2008 with just 45 wins when in the west the 8th seed nuggets won 50 games?? Explain
Lebrons the Greatest of all time. Let these hating ass niggas keep hatin just to defend those players they like. Lebron over kobe and over any other niggas

That's why he'll ALWAYS be ahead of them ... 🔊 & That's Why He's THE KING !!! ... 👑👑👑👑 👏👏👏👏
Two the best team players Kobe Bryant and Lebron James against LA Lakers vs Cleveland Cavaliers. Good hard to shoot the freaking Basketball. The ability team able to get it into the basket net. A little dream contact good job for the Lakers. At the buzzer that was so close to the basket net. For the year football. They've gone run faster a points to 4. Under 3 minutes Kobe Bryant batting with the defense.
Well, LeBron played well in this game, but had no answers to the Celtics defense in round two of the playoffs. And make no mistake: in game 6, LeBron only got his stats when the game was out of hand. Kobe taught his teammates to get touhger, because of that they were back to back champions. It was am amazing feat and really separated Kobe from Shaq in all time rankings. And you can take that to the bank 😉
That was the year we were supposed to see Kobe vs. Lebron in the Finals. LeBron didn't handle his business. Kobe did, in the West mind you. Dwight Howard was a MONSTER back then. For a good 5-6 years the Magic made deep runs in the playoffs and this particular year they were in the Finals.
@AbsolutelyAndreSo you're saying cavs got better supporting cast than the other team this year ? Or Lebron just made them better ? Tell me what happen to Cavs and Miami when Bron left them ?
when it comes to Kobe Vs. LeBron. Kobe's mindset is the only thing he is better than LeBron. But in all aspects when it comes to have that vision to have that IQ to the game of basketball. LeBron is better at everything vs. Kobe let's face it
@@hashmoncrief6965 who cares who won the championship they're talking about individual play versus each other LeBron is just better. Kobe had a better team.
4:26 Lmfao. Stuff like this is why LeBron has a winning record against Kobe. Send a triple team behind halfcourt on Bron, when he's one of the best passers ever. Phil just overplays the hell out of him
I use to say Lebron was scared of Kobe. He finally started playing Kobe like a competitor would. I realized Lebron had so much respect for Kobe. I guess in awe of playing a guy you idolized for so long. Kobe the ultimate competitor. R.I.P KOBE BEAN BRYANT
@@chris-kv4hq Kobe has 5 rings (5-2), 3peat and a Dynasty for his franchise. Lebron a 3-6 "losing" record in the Finals including 2 sweeps, No 3peat and No Dynasties. Lebron is great but he is No Jordan or Kobe. Kobe said it best about Lebron......."you have to learn how to win".
jeffrey woodruff guy stop it. MJ Lebron we can argue but Kobe is in no way shape or form better than Lebron. Aside from free throw % Bron is better in EVERY single category. And let’s not talk about that Shaq led dynasty, Lebron has been the best player on every team he’s been on hands down.
Lebron was going at Kobe, McGrady, and just about anyone else even when he was a snot-nosed 18 year old rookie. This narrative that Lebron somehow feared Kobe is so much bullshit.
i remember this is when lebron had not won a finals kobe fans used to tell us lebron fans lets talk about finals and playoff stats, now lebron has eclipsed kobe in every individual category in the playoffs and finals by a mile kobe fans want to talk about how many game winner he hit in the regular season or that stretch in 2007 he averaaged an absurd number of points per game
Lakers went on to win the Championship that season while the Cavs who won 61 Game's got embarrassed by them old men in Boston. Then he had to run to D. Wade to win, Greatest player of All-time...You Shitten me !!!
Say what you want , he’s the GOAT , in my opinion and last time I checked Kobe and mj never won a conference finals with out Phil Jackson let alone the finals , Lebron won rings with 3 different coaches and took 5 different coaches to the finals
Ik lebron is great n deff my top 5 but jus the way kobe does his moves n other things out there he jus different tbh but bron would go in and boom on yo ass doe no cap but kob jus diff look at the way they get there buckets ull see wat im sayin shit kobe even drives to tho rip mambas
for me its always been Kobe vs Lebron for who is better. at no2. wasnt old enough to watch all of mj, but i know kobe bryant is a top 3 player all time if lebron and mj are.. for me personally, rankings who i put 2 or 3 has always been so tough. Kobe V Lebron the real battle

+Ernesto Hendrix Just stop it Michael Jordan wasn't a team player and he is considered to be the greatest player of all time it's only a problem if you aren't winning Kobe won 5 championships so he did his job and Jordan won 6 stop finding ways to hate on Kobe
+Ernesto Hendrix oh and btw Kobe had 8 assists this game
Lmao I still remember that season when Cavs front office could get prime Amar'e Stoudemire for Lebron but instead they went for Rusty Shaq lol
I watched this game on TV, the literal TV. The last time I watched a game on TV was 2013 finals.
That double spin by Kobe was dope and a good pass
man , i really love ur videos , keep it up , u deserve more than what you got
keep it up and ur channel gonna be bigger , cause thats whats you deserve
The Yr Kobe was unstoppable I’ll never forget
20 pt game with under 3 minutes to go, and Kobe and Bron are still on the floor! if you think ABC had no involvement, I've got a bridge to sell you.
7:15 Kobe had them HANDLES
Man really danced on the entire team then made a beautiful pass into the corner for a wide open 3. Kobe could do literally everything.
Kobes shot is so pure
My earliest memory of basketball, changed my childhood.
Lebron was @ beast Y'all must of have forgot!
at 22 Lebron was in the Finals with a below average team. In HS Lebron won two championships. And was drafted out of HS. When he left a team the became the worst team in the leage. Comes back and they win.
MJ as great as he is, yet at 22 was swept in first round and lost many first rounds. Also cut from HS team. When he left a team they were cheated out of going to the finals.
People should stop making it seem like Lebron is a nobody. Jordan's is great but 6 rings just not enough to reach 11.
Lol Jordan's was playing the legendary team(eventual champions) of Celtics in 1986 in the First Round thats why he got swept and only 2nd yr in the league while Lebron was playing the mediocre Washington Wizards lol, thats the difference. Lebron's competition in the East is weak thats why in 2008 to 2010 Boston and Orlando beat Lebron's ass
But what happened the first 2 yrs lebron was in the league in 2003-2004 and 2004-2005? Why didnt they make the playoffs. And how come they faced 2 41 win teams in route to the ECF in 2007? N how did they enter the playoffs as a 4th seed in 2008 with just 45 wins when in the west the 8th seed nuggets won 50 games?? Explain
Lebrons the Greatest of all time. Let these hating ass niggas keep hatin just to defend those players they like. Lebron over kobe and over any other niggas
@J Day ... EXACTLY ! ... mik would've won 66gms with this team , lik THE KING did ! ... They probably would've even made the playoffs ? ... mik , kobe , kawhi are good players on there own , but they do not make other players better ? ... lf ur not already a Hall-of-Famer , ur USELESS to them ... Only fit for their vitriol & abuse ... That's the difference between players like Bird , Magic , lebron ... They raise the level of play & make even the most miniscule of players worthy of positive contribution ! ... lebron will make an avg player an ALL-STAR , he'll make an All-Star A CHAMPION ! ... That's why he'll ALWAYS be ahead of them ... 🔊 & That's Why He's THE KING !!! ... 👑👑👑👑 👏👏👏👏
@@bballah4lyfe they took Boston Celtics to a 7 game series in the conference finals not bad for a 45 regular season win team
Both Kobe and Lebron are now representing the Lakers Kobe's doing it in heaven 💜💛 and ❤️🖤💚 love you forever Kobe and GiGi 💜💛
He'll always be the G.O.A.T to me R.I.P Mamba........🙏🙏

Goat of what?
@B.Piercesports
Obviously the NBA
Two the best team players Kobe Bryant and Lebron James against LA Lakers vs Cleveland Cavaliers. Good hard to shoot the freaking Basketball. The ability team able to get it into the basket net. A little dream contact good job for the Lakers. At the buzzer that was so close to the basket net. For the year football. They've gone run faster a points to 4. Under 3 minutes Kobe Bryant batting with the defense.
3:57
7:25 Kobe: “About time they called that shit”
When they said 17 assists combined, I was like damn, LeBron had 17 assists bc I knew Kobe doesn't pass💯
Damn this takes me back to a simple time engulfed in euphoria smh Damn how times have changed
Ok but that thumbnail, Kobe is like 6’6” and lebron is 6’8”
Lol LeBron is 7 Feet in that thumbnail. Kobe is 5’9
Who else is watching this 4 years later?
Same
Well, LeBron played well in this game, but had no answers to the Celtics defense in round two of the playoffs. And make no mistake: in game 6, LeBron only got his stats when the game was out of hand. Kobe taught his teammates to get touhger, because of that they were back to back champions. It was am amazing feat and really separated Kobe from Shaq in all time rankings. And you can take that to the bank 😉
Bron and Shaq still better than kobe 😂
@@ZyoronKobe has more rings than both 😂
@@nickodar5780less finals MVPs than both
I can’t believe to this day that Kobe actually took that squad to three finals in a row and won two back to back championships

That team was stacked...

That was the year we were supposed to see Kobe vs. Lebron in the Finals. LeBron didn't handle his business. Kobe did, in the West mind you. Dwight Howard was a MONSTER back then. For a good 5-6 years the Magic made deep runs in the playoffs and this particular year they were in the Finals.
Damn it sucks we couldn't see them both of the in the Finals😭😭😭😭
career vs record
lebron 16
kobe 5
LUCKIE ONASIS kobe 5-2 lebron 3-6 one on one matchup when guarded by eachother kobe 50% lebron 30% kobe is better

Kobrick got a bunch of solid supporting cast with a HOF coach and still lost . Most Overrated Player of All time
lupina29 you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about if you think Kobe is overrated
@AbsolutelyAndreSo you're saying cavs got better supporting cast than the other team this year ? Or Lebron just made them better ? Tell me what happen to Cavs and Miami when Bron left them ?

when it comes to Kobe Vs. LeBron. Kobe's mindset is the only thing he is better than LeBron. But in all aspects when it comes to have that vision to have that IQ to the game of basketball. LeBron is better at everything vs. Kobe let's face it

Kobe is lucky the Cavs didnt make the finals this year because they were a BAD matchup for them.
This Cavs team should have went to the finals in 2010 smh
Really? They couldn't match the Celtics talent

4:26 Lmfao. Stuff like this is why LeBron has a winning record against Kobe. Send a triple team behind halfcourt on Bron, when he's one of the best passers ever. Phil just overplays the hell out of him
I use to say Lebron was scared of Kobe. He finally started playing Kobe like a competitor would. I realized Lebron had so much respect for Kobe. I guess in awe of playing a guy you idolized for so long. Kobe the ultimate competitor. R.I.P KOBE BEAN BRYANT
Underrated 77 Scared of Kobe but he has an overwhelming winning record against him lmao
@@chris-kv4hq Kobe has 5 rings (5-2), 3peat and a Dynasty for his franchise. Lebron a 3-6 "losing" record in the Finals including 2 sweeps, No 3peat and No Dynasties. Lebron is great but he is No Jordan or Kobe. Kobe said it best about Lebron......."you have to learn how to win".
jeffrey woodruff guy stop it. MJ Lebron we can argue but Kobe is in no way shape or form better than Lebron. Aside from free throw % Bron is better in EVERY single category. And let’s not talk about that Shaq led dynasty, Lebron has been the best player on every team he’s been on hands down.
Lebron was going at Kobe, McGrady, and just about anyone else even when he was a snot-nosed 18 year old rookie. This narrative that Lebron somehow feared Kobe is so much bullshit.
@@jaydubb2005 Kobe learned how to win from Shaq, the best player on 3 of Kobe’s 5 championships teams.
i remember this is when lebron had not won a finals kobe fans used to tell us lebron fans lets talk about finals and playoff stats, now lebron has eclipsed kobe in every individual category in the playoffs and finals by a mile kobe fans want to talk about how many game winner he hit in the regular season or that stretch in 2007 he averaaged an absurd number of points per game
Can you speak english?

6:35 MJ: here's your chance to play one on one with Kobe!
Lebron: I'ma pass the ball
MJ: I never pass I took it personal
Don’t talk about the king like that surf
this ain't no one and one game
Lakers went on to win the Championship that season while the Cavs who won 61 Game's got embarrassed by them old men in Boston. Then he had to run to D. Wade to win, Greatest player of All-time...You Shitten me !!!
Say what you want , he’s the GOAT , in my opinion and last time I checked Kobe and mj never won a conference finals with out Phil Jackson let alone the finals , Lebron won rings with 3 different coaches and took 5 different coaches to the finals
Casual take

Kobe has a better foot work than LeBron that's why you see him different than LeBron. Not saying LeBron is not good though lol love them both!
Speak English guy
Back when they actually played defense.
Bron & shaq won the game BUT Kobe WON the finals MVP. WE witnessed greatness. And is Shaq wearing the concords 11s ?? 🤦🏾♂️
That wasn't Shaq, that was "Shaquille O'Neal"
Lebron roasted they ass. The goat.
Kobe gave lebron that win but lakers took that ring
Agree
Yes sir
for me its always been Kobe vs Lebron for who is better. at no2. wasnt old enough to watch all of mj, but i know kobe bryant is a top 3 player all time if lebron and mj are.. for me personally, rankings who i put 2 or 3 has always been so tough. Kobe V Lebron the real battle

I bet Kobe was like...”so this is how it feels facing the 2000-2004 Laker dynasty with Shaq as Center and having a dominant shooting guard”.
Shaq was old here
7:40? What did Kobe did? A stutter step carrying the ball in 1 hand?
Thou I'm a Kobe fan, I was just Curious
lol that looks like a travel to me
Nah
Damn lebron different
As a Laker fan I'm glad I didn't put money on this game back then lol
How many assist of the 17 did love get
Kobe
this a rival match
At the time of the players on the court the last 2 Lakers Finals MVPs were Shaq and Kobe, and then the future 2 Lakers Finals MVPs would be Kobe and LeBron!
The game a couple months later in Cleveland was better. Both teams actually came to play.
Shaq even played for the Boston Celtics, thirsty. 😞😞😞
Kobe was the only one hooping
4 real no one that night had over 20 besides him at least Bron had 2 others who had at least 20 plus in mo Williams and moon who reminds me of JR Smith the way he shoots the ball but they be saying Bron always had bums on that team I don't get it. You had guys doing their part, they just didn't come through against a solid magic team led by Howard in the conference semis.
Tadeo Krzos Maybe because LeBron actually pass the ball in Kobe was fucking ball hogging the whole damn time can’t get no rhythm if you don’t touch the ball it’s really easy to game plan against Kobe and that’s what makes LeBron so tough to prep for
