I remember getting a chain message from this playoff series. It went something like "the lakers turned off the jazz music, blew up the rockets, ate the nuggets, and now its Time to make the magic disappear" haha
LMAOOOO. I never heard that but its creative af Btw I uploaded a new video to this channel! Check it out if you like :) ua-cam.com/video/Zmb0la-NnIs/v-deo.html …
Correct, he would also have about 4-5 more mvps but due to the Colorado case the NBA which is a business would not have him represent them like MJ even though he was and is the better player and brought so much to the game.
Luka Zebeljan incorrect, most players could not bring their team to the finals to face Boston with the subpar lineup Bryant had. From 2005-2009 they did not really build around him as they would have an MJ or Lebron. Instead due primarily to politics they let a gasol get on the team later. They also blocked the trade for Chris Paul for the same reason.
Its like watching Jordan all over again....unbelievable. He even chews the gum like MJ too. Salute to the Black Mamba. His game 3 in the 2009 WCFs vs Denver is in my top 3 favorite playoff performances of all time...
Michael Lynch I didn't mean that my bad meant it as like he. Role Denver hearts it made it like a close out game because they had this game Ray Vincent
RIP Kobe Bryant 💔🌹 This Championship run was during my childhood and I’ll never forget it, I even went to game 3 in Utah and it was the first time I saw him play live! Lakers forever and always 💜💛
Absolutely true! I miss KOBE BRO Btw I just started uploading new nba commentary videos :) I hope you check em out! Theyre the latest ones on the channel, brother! Pls sub and stay tuned :)
Kobe - an absolutely consummate, dominant, complete and clutch player as I have ever seen when watching these videos of his play. He matches or I dare say, even excels past the level of Michael Jordan.
People have no idea how crazy of a level kobe was on. He could pick and choose when to go off. If he wasn’t on that game it was always his fault and never the defense
I made a video on Kobe!! But thanks for watching! If you're new please hit sub and like! Would love to see you around my new vids! Also check out my latest video :) ua-cam.com/video/Qaux_5mgyoA/v-deo.html
that whole ball hogging thing is just an effin myth. Kobe can make plays for his reliable team mates, but not with Kwame, Mihm, Smush, etc. Give Kobe a great supporting cast and he will be successful initiator.
superzayman1 Media shills and ESPN highlight reel-loving fans with poor basketball IQs. I've noticed that a lot of people like to act like they know someone who's played basketball that was famous and then speak as if they are an expert at the sport.
The stupid triangle required a lot of ball movement & inside/out passes. If kobe had play in a different offense he would averaged what lebron averages.
This is some real greatness the fact that Kobe was dang near black balled out the league and still in most people top 5 or top 10 just speaks volumes to his greatness 🐐
Kobe was that guy in the playoffs the tougher the opponent he raised his game we'll never see another star like him. although today we the likes of Ant Edwards, Booker etc they have some Kobe in them.
The narrative was already shaped that kobe was a ballhog but during his second championship runs people will forget how much of a playmaker he was. Look at all the times he sets up his teammates.
crazy how more ppl aren’t talking about his 103 games played in 2008, plus the olympics, and 85 three games into the 2009 playoffs. literally playing double the games of most the nba superstars today. kobe is the greatest of all time
Kobe at his most athletic was 2003 right before lebron came in. I would pay a lot of money to see that matchup right there. Nba 2k nerfs kobe so bad. He was the original video game player. Wilt and mj too but kobe was hitting crazy shots
@Quenton Stein you're right Kobe is not better than LeBron James, Kobe didn't lose six championships, Kobe didn't leave the Lakers to go to a better basketball player, like LeBron did and had to go to Dwyane Wade to win his first championship, and screw over Cleveland, but if that's what you like as a great basketball player, you can enjoy LeBrons losing streak, who cares about stats, only championships,
With the game now is being played, too many people do not understand how difficult it is to take and make those shots, those dribbles and moves he made to go by defenders and to create the space for himself was unparalleled, KD probably has the similar package but it is courtesy to his size mostly. When you take a look at the defenders Kobe was facing his whole career, it was so rare to see him playing a undersized opponent, it has always been either similar size or bigger size players guarding him, such as Kirilenko, Melo and the truth. So when you consider this factor, you could only appreciate his game even more.
The Jazz had Deron Williams, Caron Butler, Korver, Kirilenko, Millsap and Boozer... damn those were very good players, they could've gotten far in the POs
🥲 we watched this guy win games with just pure will power and determination! We watched him not just play in the best Western conference in history (stats say the west from 99-99-2012 was the single best conference in the history of the nba! )But he dominated it! 13 finals and the west won 10 outta 13! Of the 13 kobe played in 7 and won 5! That's over 50% of the finals played every other one we would see kobe! But nick and Shannon not even in the top 10! (Until after he passed away! Then he became top 10,number 8 according to nick!)
Anybody who saw this highlight video can see that Kobe did pass. He just did not to bums. He really took them to the cleaners in the 4th game with his Mid-range jumper.

And the teams he had to play wasn’t trash either like the Jazz was stacked now I look back at this roster
Never has anyone influenced me to play basketball at 12 am other than Kobe Bryant
Nasira K 😂😂😂
only kobe will influence you to play.
Your fucking weird
@@AlexM-uq3cm ok mr bored-erlands
Man if Kobe had this type of supporting cast right away when Shaq left, he could've achieved 6-8 rings.
You could make that argument for a lot of other players.
If not for that rape case & the NBA declining CP3 ... 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Correct, he would also have about 4-5 more mvps but due to the Colorado case the NBA which is a business would not have him represent them like MJ even though he was and is the better player and brought so much to the game.

They also blocked the trade for Chris Paul for the same reason.
hardwork Pays Off you forget Trevor Ariza, he helped to spread the floor and was what helped to close out games similar to Robert horry.
Kobe foot work and killer mentality this series was golden and he made his teammates better
Its like watching Jordan all over again....unbelievable. He even chews the gum like MJ too. Salute to the Black Mamba. His game 3 in the 2009 WCFs vs Denver is in my top 3 favorite playoff performances of all time...
Same my brother it was one of the best close out games ever
+Fire Angel Chris Game 3 was a close out game?
It was not. LAL won in 6.
Michael Lynch I didn't mean that my bad meant it as like he. Role Denver hearts it made it like a close out game because they had this game Ray Vincent
Kobe was so great. God he looks just like MJ when he plays. It's an uncanny resemblance.
Kobe is more graceful!
@@princesschilumba3889 no both are grateful
Kobe idolize mj
I think Kobe is more skilled, took MJ’s moves to another level. But less natural athleticism (just my opinion)
Nolesco;?
RIP Kobe Bryant 💔🌹 This Championship run was during my childhood and I’ll never forget it, I even went to game 3 in Utah and it was the first time I saw him play live! Lakers forever and always 💜💛
dat foot work.... damn
Kobe was creating shots out of thin air! I miss watching him play...even more now...Man! 😥
KOBE IS STILL THE BEST!
GOAT
damn, Kobe went nuts in Game 4
Reggie Johnson he'll yea. Really every game
Josephine Mosby every game huh? So that 81 points ,61 at msg and outscorinh the whole mavs at the third quarter are nuts
KOBE IS THE KING! GREATEST OF ALL TIMES. 👑💜💛
Damn this man was a offensive machine.....#KOBE
Kobe in his prime would make nba today his playground . 38 ppg easy dubs .
yeah todays nba rules
@@jtvs8683you have to be a new fan homie averaged 35.4 in 2006 when the teams gave up 90+ blazers were still holding teams to 90 per
When the NBA was mad fun to watch
Absolutely true! I miss KOBE BRO
Btw I just started uploading new nba commentary videos :) I hope you check em out! Theyre the latest ones on the channel, brother! Pls sub and stay tuned :)
Kobe and lakers send these jazz home 3 straight years from 08-10
This guy is just insane.... you look at players today, just don't have it in them
facts
Kobes passing is underrated
Kobe in his prime shits on the James Harden of today
MrAVGNdude ong
Lol it was never close Lul.
MrAVGNdude Truth. Harden isn’t even high enough to be in the same category as Kobe when Kobe was at his best.
MrAVGNdude, harden is pretty Damn great, but Kobe has accomplished so much more, and this Kobe is arguably the greatest scorer of all time.
Luka Zebeljan idc he ain't on kobe,shit
I'm going to miss you bean 😔
J TW this hit even harder now
Watching these kobe highlights give me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes man we lost someone bigger than a basketball player
Kobe - an absolutely consummate, dominant, complete and clutch player as I have ever seen when watching these videos of his play. He matches or I dare say, even excels past the level of Michael Jordan.
Highlights of Kobe Bryant (The Greatest Ever)
Utah with 33-8 home court record at the regular season.imagine how bad they were on the road to make the 8th seed
Vassilis Kantiotis They went 15-26 on the road lmao
I miss ariza on the lakers
This lakers team might have been the most balanced team ever
Anyone else on that Kobe rewind train?
People have no idea how crazy of a level kobe was on. He could pick and choose when to go off. If he wasn’t on that game it was always his fault and never the defense
I needed to watch this video... Almost forgot how good the Mamba was......
I made a video on Kobe!!
But thanks for watching! If you're new please hit sub and like! Would love to see you around my new vids!
Also check out my latest video :) ua-cam.com/video/Qaux_5mgyoA/v-deo.html
Ariza was huge in the 09 playoffs.
Ikr he's so underrated
That steal...
BiggFacts he was like Scottie to Ko8e MJ in 2009💯💯
whoody G Ponder not like Scottie but he played a very important role I agree
Kobe went to game 4 with a mindset to absolutely kill the jazz cuz of game 3s loss. Smh
16:50 i love that fade away. that shot should have been on more highlights and memorable shot of kobe's career
+Benny Tao Kobe haters on the media try to hide his highlights, they have to show some highlights because everybody would be suspicious.
That is his most famous shot.
That Game 4 performance is the greatest ever performance by an athlete EVER!
im going to miss kobe he had retired he made 60 pts when i grow up i want to be the second balck mamba
And they say kobe don't pass all I see is crazy passes left and right kids watch this man going to work🔥
More Kobe's playoffs highlights please! he was born to be the greatness in scorching time in Playoffs!
4:05 just so Kobe-esque
16:08 I wish someone believed in me as much as Lamar Odom believed Kobe's shot was going in.... That type of belief is uplifting
LEGEND IS FOREVER I LOVE U MAMBA YOUR THE GREAT PLAYER IN THE WHOLE WORLD EVER
Utah stood no chance lol
***** salty or nah?
Chris56076 no one stood a chance against Kobe that year
that whole ball hogging thing is just an effin myth. Kobe can make plays for his reliable team mates, but not with Kwame, Mihm, Smush, etc. Give Kobe a great supporting cast and he will be successful initiator.
Chris56076 totally agree
Chris56076 oh yes they did they forcing game number 5 and defeated the lakers in game number 4 to stay elimination playoffs series games
Kobe was no ball hog
Kobe highlights 65 points vs Trailblazers
The mamba like a beast
Yes! Can you do all of Kobe's and Jordan's playoff round highlights? Thanks.
lmao that's a LOT of video's man
DoU EvenLift lol. Ok, how about all of the playoff highlights from championship years.
onemogain23 that's still 44 videos. I mean that would be amazing and all, but the time it would take would just be crazy
onemogain23 I'm all for it
This 2009 playoff run was legendary. Kobe was unstoppable, in every series he was laser focused and killing it. @10:22 That “FUCK IT” took me out!
Can’t wait for the Kobe 4 retro feb 19 kobe the best
My Favorite Playoff Series by Kob....SMH RIP WE LOVE YOU!
Gret highlight video! No annoying music, and kept all the commentary. This is the way highlight videos should be done. Thank you!
Who says Kobe doesn't pass? Lmao
Unintelligent fans

idiots who only listen to media spin do. If you watched Kobe back then you saw how he was all around great
Indominus Rex i
The stupid triangle required a lot of ball movement & inside/out passes. If kobe had play in a different offense he would averaged what lebron averages.
That’s a bad man right there. Game 4 is one of the all time great playoff performances. My favorite Kobe game
💛💜 Kobe!!! Gone always say that when I shoot the ball r.i.p #blackmamba
This is some real greatness the fact that Kobe was dang near black balled out the league and still in most people top 5 or top 10 just speaks volumes to his greatness 🐐
Kobe was that guy in the playoffs the tougher the opponent he raised his game we'll never see another star like him. although today we the likes of Ant Edwards, Booker etc they have some Kobe in them.
I miss this laker squad.....
that foot work is unstopable
We will miss you Kobeeeeeee we love youuuuuu!!!😭💔🐍 #RIPgigiandkobe
The narrative was already shaped that kobe was a ballhog but during his second championship runs people will forget how much of a playmaker he was. Look at all the times he sets up his teammates.
RIP Kobe Bryant!!

Pure poetry... My favorite player of all time miss you 🐐
Jerry Sloan be like "Phil and his blasted shooting guards!"
G4 Kobe was on his game Utah had no answers
I was a rockets fan first, but became a kobe fan after rockets kept getting slapped by utah, was a treat watching kobe get revenge for my rockets 😆
Kobe beat so many good and great teams from 90s until he retired goat
i mean, who the fuck is the mvp in this season
why the hell is it not kobe
Kobe did whatever he wanted to in this series. Amazing player
Kobe highlights contain no sissy moments like lebrons
Y J exactly and no air balls from the free throw line
That game 4 gives me chill til this day. Rip goat
16:50 This shot is just UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!
This nigga Kobe could do any move offensively.
and thanks for watching too!
I hope you subscribe and turn on notifications :)
I love you KB you are my GOAT 🐐 RIP
Kobe at his most athletic was 2003 right before lebron came in. I would pay a lot of money to see that matchup right there. Nba 2k nerfs kobe so bad. He was the original video game player. Wilt and mj too but kobe was hitting crazy shots
Facts. Crazy how they gave 06 dwade gold limitless range but not 2004 Kobe like wtf🤣🤣🤣.
One of Kobe's fave player was Derron who he even nicknamed 'The Tank'.
Simply a beast.
Awesome Upload thank you man.
If Ariza and Bynum had been healthy and available for the entire 2008 Finals, I'm pretty sure LA would have won.
It’s why I hate using finals records, never context
@@johncena4096 Mann fr
And if Perkins was healthy in 2010 Celtics would’ve won
Kobe was a great player than Lebron James and Stephen Curry
@Quenton Stein IM BETTER THAN YOU BY THE WAY 😜
@Quenton Stein im 50 percent Kobe and 50 percent Jordan and your an ASSHOLE how can you beat me dude 😁
@Quenton Stein cool Jordan Bryant Wade for me
@Quenton Stein you're right Kobe is not better than LeBron James, Kobe didn't lose six championships, Kobe didn't leave the Lakers to go to a better basketball player, like LeBron did and had to go to Dwyane Wade to win his first championship, and screw over Cleveland, but if that's what you like as a great basketball player, you can enjoy LeBrons losing streak, who cares about stats, only championships,
