@@skap_attackThank you brother for not letting all these kids and noobs get away without knowing Kobe's true legacy. I'd love for you to do a video on how criminally underrated Dream is 😊
I'm gonna share my favorite Kobe moment. I'd love to hear yours. When we were getting blown out by Boston in Game 6 I watched the whole beatdown. The look on Kobe's face, the regret, the pain, the loss all told me we were winning the chip the next year. And he kept that serious never smiling face all the way through to the 2009 finals where the job was finally finished. In retrospect, it's even more memorable because of what he didn't do, throw his teammates under the bus or beg for more help
I’m not sure if I have a favorite moment. But I always admire Kobe for how hard he played the game and how much he cared about it. The world hasn’t been the same since he passed away but his legacy is still alive 💜💛🙏🐍
Too many unfabricated moments to choose from. I guess the Utah airballs. A team with 3 All-Stars didn't have the balls to get them to win against UTAH. But an 18 year old did. That was the beginning of Kobe's legend.
Help build?! LA had already won 11 NBA titles and was regarded as one of the greatest franchises in all of sports let alone basketball! Lol😂 LeBron actually built something in Cleveland unlike Kobe who isn't even top 5 all time!
@@stonecold316339 That's why I said helped. Unless you think 5 of 17 ins't helping. But it's clear that you can't be objective, using emotions instead of logic. Just what I'd expect from someone with a room temp iq.
I don't think my heart will ever stop hurting when thinking about how soon Kobe went out But It makes me more than happy to see that there are people who really cared about him as much as I did and ofcourse I mean fans since I am one as well Thank you for people like SKAP attack I'll always appreciate you man😢Thank you for singing praises to my GOAT Thank you SKAP for making some people realize how great he was because I have gotten a lot of my friends to watch your videos and they love them You're a treasure in this world Skap
He was ~The~ Pride of ALL of Los Angeles, in any sport - for over two decades, now going on three. Never admired anyone younger than me before in my life until I got to know Kobe. R.I.P. Kobe Bean Bryant 1978-2020. You were *Greatness Personified* in every sense.
He's an amazing legend, but even he knew that MJ was better. He never claimed to be the greatest (like LeBitch) he just wanted to be GREAT. And he wanted to follow that up with being great in his post-career work, but most importantly to him, be a GREAT father. And he was. We should just celebrate the man and his greatness without trying to say he's the greatest... that's what we used to do as hoopers and hoop fans. RIP Kobe, Gianna, and everyone who perished that day on that helicopter. May they all rest in eternal peace.
No he wanted to surpass MJ. Desperately. That's what made him great. He looked at the GOAT and said "I am going to surpass him" WHILE HE WAS STILL PLAYING. I don't think he got there. MJ was just that bit better. But he shot for the moon, and landed among the stars.
Mj said himself Kobe would beat him . Kobe did beat mj and mjs whole team lol 😂. Mj legacy is guarded by the nba and Nike for political purposes. Kobe could of surpassed mj and been the leagues best player ever but the media hated Kobe the nba hated him they framed him
@JohnWu-xd7tk _"claimed"_ ... yearight bruh We see what you tried to do there. Meanwhile, after 6 seasons in L.A. LeBron _still_ isn't even close to being a top 10 _Laker_ of All-Time. He's in the tier with Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher at this point, arguably behind them and not even nearly as successful for the Lakers as Pau Gasol was. This is an inarguable fact.

Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant’s mannerisms, appearance, and preparation for the game replicated each other. Perhaps their most similar trait was their work ethic and the passion and love for the sport of basketball. Both demanded greatness not only from their teammates and those around them but from themselves. Kobe Bryant continued to be among the top players in the league through the 2012-13 season, when he suffered a torn Achilles tendon at age 34. His next two seasons were cut short by injuries to his knee and shoulder, respectively. Citing physical decline, Bryant retired after the 2015-16 season.

LOL come on man. You're really gonna hate a dude for throwing chalk up in the air? You really went there? To say he pollutes the air? I'm not an LBJ fan by any means but damn that is a stretch
Thank you for keeping the truth alive of Kobe's greatness. The ones who experienced it Know. I don't care what the Le media says. They try to tarnish Kobe's Career Because he's the closest thing we've seen to Jordan and with him out of the way they think it elevates lebron's chances of being the goat, which he never will be. People also forget when they're comparing all these stats, How important a clutch time player who will take over when the team needs them to and a lockdown defender Is to winning championships
We'll just remember him from here on out. That's all we can do as fans. His spirit lives on throughout the NBA and the NBA fan base. I miss him as a Celtics fan and I feel like the game of basketball misses him. There will never be another kobe

This video brought a tear to my eye… happy Mamba Day y’all… how I miss this guy and the beauty that was the game of basketball when Kobe was on the court!
Great video my man… You are the goat for this… You make the NBA world proud…The Laker world proud…& the Mamba world proud… I can’t thank you enough for this… For those of us that watched this man’s entire career… We understand the greatness we witnessed from an early age on… A greatness that embodied his entire career…Simply, one of a kind… Simply the best….Thanks again. 🎤✌️🐐
I cant belive its been 4 years since one of the 2 goats ( kobe bryant and Michael jordan ) you are such an amazing player you were the best skilled player and i miss you very much 😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤
I remember the night he scored 81 pts. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't believe what I saw. That next morning I walked around the corner to the gas station and that's where I signed my first autograph for the movie I was in. My name is Cobret. I was called Kobe a lot growing up.
Absolutely Beautiful. I saw Kobe’s whole career as well. Ages 11-31. And yes it was a true privilege. I watched games JUST for him. I wanted to witness something amazing and most of the time he delivered. I posted this video on my FB with this as the caption. “T. H. I. S. Only ones who LIVED through this era truly understand. This video breaks everything down really well. And this doesn’t even really show the countless spectacular highlights of his games. Clutch shots/Buzzer beaters, scoring frenzies/records, amazing dunks, acrobatic shots… must see TV. One of the GOATs. Anyone who doesn’t think so needs to be educated more on this. This video is a great start for that.” R. I. P. Kobe ❤
Thank you for this tremendous video, I can only imagine how much work and research that went into producing it. You are the absolute best. RIP black mamba. #kobegoat
Shoutout to the mamba 💜 💛 The only one comparable to mj imo The only ppl I see disrespecting his legacy is lebron fans. I don’t even see spurs, phili, nuggets or even Celtics fans hate on him like they do. #lakersforlife
Thanks for putting respect on Kobe’s name. Kobe would have definitely had more rings if he had a little more help during his prime years between Shaq and Gasol. I’ve never been able to rate players like Lebron high because of their lack of defensive effort and of what seems like a lack of competitiveness.
@HannibalBarca-d8e LeBron is better than Kobe and ranks higher all time due to his far superior stats as well as accolades and more statistically dominant seasons that are really good especially on the advanced stats of things Kobe didn’t lead the nba at any point in any advanced stat category which shows he was never truly dominant Kobe Bryant is a top 10 player of all time and you can make a decent argument he’s top 5 but he definitely isn’t top 3 And you cannot put him in the same discussion with MJ LeBron and Kareem. Simple.
@HannibalBarca-d8e Thank you for actually understanding my point and not turning off your brain and going into a vicious hatred when you saw something positive being noted about LeBron James.
Beautifully done. I was a sophomore in high school when he went to the league. I was jealous, and I didn't like him quite frankly. Until I saw him play. KG and Bean were my favorite players. I didn't like Gasol I thought he was a waste and could have found someone better but he made it work. Those Celtics Lakers finals were probably the most hype rewarding series I've seen since. Hopefully the Olympics will get the NBA trending and LeBron retiring back to the way things were.
He should definitely be on the Mt. Rushmore of the NBA. He was the next best thing to Jordan, it's criminal how LeBron and Clutch sports have tried to diminish Kobe's career.
As a Kobe guy, even I cannot place him as the "Greatest" player of all-time above someone like Jabbar who dominated both NCAA and NBA at an unprecedented level. Bryant was maybe the most skilled player I ever saw, certainly the most explosive. While defamed by sports critics and robbed of MVP's by the NBA I still got Mamba ahead of Steph, Bird, LeBron, Shaq and Duncan.
Technically you could make the argument that Jabbar didnt do much from 74 when oscar retired until he got magic in 80. That's a long span of non-dominance. Not hating, dont get me wrong
@@mike_tkgchs Incorrect. Jabbar was on Laker teams with no talent, yet he still stacked up MVP's at a record number. Do you realize how dominant you have to be to still win MVP awards while your team is not a competitive playoff team? No, I don't think you realize who you are dealing with..
"Honoring the LEGEND of Kobe Bryant on MAMBA DAY 8/24" Probably the best tribute and certainly one of the best statistical breakdowns. UA-cam this is your template on how to do it.
Happy Birthday to The Black Mamba KOBE BEAN BRYANT 8/24 🐍 During Kobe's memorial (which bron was absent for I might add) MJ said when Kobe passed away a piece of him died. As AI mentioned killers respect killers. Enough said! Don't be fool by stat padding leloser james ppl smh
What a video Skap. I get so tired of trying to defend him on social media because all these mfs talk about is mvps and shaq. At this point why do they talk about the old NBA if they dont even understand it properly.
Amen 2 that its exhausting tryin 2 go behind these dudes n correct them on how the game went down. I try 2 ignore them till I see or hear something so absurd I have 2 say something its really annoying
@@IsaacMSingleton1 that kobe was never the best in the league pisses me off so much. just because he only got 1 mvp dont mean he didnt average 35 in the most competitive era ever. he was so good hat they made the miami heat to stop kobe from 3 peating.
yes, he inspires me every day in things even outside of basketball, like my career. He died but lives through that impact on others which is what makes me tear up
I will admit. I was not a Kobe Bryant fan. Still he was among the best players ever. And if anyone was close to Michael Jordan in greatness, it was him. R.I.P Black Mamba
Some current players have Paul George as the GoaT. Without trolling. Some have Paul Pierce. Leaving Kobe outside the top-10 all time isn't necessarily trolling.
It's always hard for me to make a GOAT case for Kobe, cause him being so similar to Jordan in many aspects offers the opportunity for direct comparisons. With that being said, Kobe is top 3 all times, in my opinion also behind Kareem purely for personal accolades. Any all times list with Kobe out of the top 5 doesn't even deserve to be remotely discussed.

The look on Kobe's face, the regret, the pain, the loss all told me we were winning the chip the next year. And he kept that serious never smiling face all the way through to the 2009 finals where the job was finally finished.
In retrospect, it's even more memorable because of what he didn't do, throw his teammates under the bus or beg for more help
I’m not sure if I have a favorite moment. But I always admire Kobe for how hard he played the game and how much he cared about it. The world hasn’t been the same since he passed away but his legacy is still alive 💜💛🙏🐍
And saved Team USA legacy in the off season after that devastating Finals loss in the off season
Too many unfabricated moments to choose from. I guess the Utah airballs. A team with 3 All-Stars didn't have the balls to get them to win against UTAH. But an 18 year old did. That was the beginning of Kobe's legend.
Bro same here!! I was like “oh we winning next year” i was so confident because i could see the hurt on Kobe face
Bro that 3rd quarter in Boston in game 5 of that series where he was hitting everything
RIP Mamba. Even lebum can't completely destroy the house that you helped build.
Nothing can erase what Kobe built 🙏❤️🐍
WHOS HOUSE??? Kobe’s!!!!!
Help build?! LA had already won 11 NBA titles and was regarded as one of the greatest franchises in all of sports let alone basketball! Lol😂

Happy Kobe 8/24 day. RIP Legend.
I don't think my heart will ever stop hurting when thinking about how soon Kobe went out
But It makes me more than happy to see that there are people who really cared about him as much as I did and ofcourse I mean fans since I am one as well
Thank you for people like SKAP attack
I'll always appreciate you man😢Thank you for singing praises to my GOAT
Thank you SKAP for making some people realize how great he was because I have gotten a lot of my friends to watch your videos and they love them
You're a treasure in this world Skap
He was ~The~ Pride of ALL of Los Angeles, in any sport - for over two decades, now going on three. Never admired anyone younger than me before in my life until I got to know Kobe.
R.I.P. Kobe Bean Bryant 1978-2020. You were *Greatness Personified* in every sense.
He's an amazing legend, but even he knew that MJ was better. He never claimed to be the greatest (like LeBitch) he just wanted to be GREAT. And he wanted to follow that up with being great in his post-career work, but most importantly to him, be a GREAT father.
And he was.
We should just celebrate the man and his greatness without trying to say he's the greatest... that's what we used to do as hoopers and hoop fans.
RIP Kobe, Gianna, and everyone who perished that day on that helicopter. May they all rest in eternal peace.
No he wanted to surpass MJ. Desperately. That's what made him great. He looked at the GOAT and said "I am going to surpass him" WHILE HE WAS STILL PLAYING. I don't think he got there. MJ was just that bit better. But he shot for the moon, and landed among the stars.
Mj said himself Kobe would beat him . Kobe did beat mj and mjs whole team lol 😂. Mj legacy is guarded by the nba and Nike for political purposes. Kobe could of surpassed mj and been the leagues best player ever but the media hated Kobe the nba hated him they framed him
@JohnWu-xd7tk _"claimed"_ ... yearight bruh
We see what you tried to do there.
Meanwhile, after 6 seasons in L.A. LeBron _still_ isn't even close to being a top 10 _Laker_ of All-Time. He's in the tier with Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher at this point, arguably behind them and not even nearly as successful for the Lakers as Pau Gasol was. This is an inarguable fact.

Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant’s mannerisms, appearance, and preparation for the game replicated each other.
Perhaps their most similar trait was their work ethic and the passion and love for the sport of basketball.
Both demanded greatness not only from their teammates and those around them but from themselves.
Kobe Bryant continued to be among the top players in the league through the 2012-13 season, when he suffered a torn Achilles tendon at age 34.
His next two seasons were cut short by injuries to his knee and shoulder, respectively.
Citing physical decline, Bryant retired after the 2015-16 season.

He just showed up and played.

Thank you for keeping the truth alive of Kobe's greatness. The ones who experienced it
Know. I don't care what the Le media says. They try to tarnish Kobe's Career Because he's the closest thing we've seen to Jordan and with him out of the way they think it elevates lebron's chances of being the goat, which he never will be. People also forget when they're comparing all these stats, How important a clutch time player who will take over when the team needs them to and a lockdown defender Is to winning championships

Absolutely Beautiful. I saw Kobe’s whole career as well. Ages 11-31. And yes it was a true privilege. I watched games JUST for him. I wanted to witness something amazing and most of the time he delivered. I posted this video on my FB with this as the caption.
“T. H. I. S. Only ones who LIVED through this era truly understand. This video breaks everything down really well. And this doesn’t even really show the countless spectacular highlights of his games. Clutch shots/Buzzer beaters, scoring frenzies/records, amazing dunks, acrobatic shots… must see TV. One of the GOATs. Anyone who doesn’t think so needs to be educated more on this. This video is a great start for that.”

Kobe would have definitely had more rings if he had a little more help during his prime years between Shaq and Gasol.
I’ve never been able to rate players like Lebron high because of their lack of defensive effort and of what seems like a lack of competitiveness.
Speaking as a Jordan fan, this is how we all will remember Kobe
All except LeFloppy fanboys
@JohnWu-xd7tk MJ was better, but Kobe wasn't that far away. If somebody has Kobe as the GOAT, MJ fans will never disrespect that.
@@mike_tkgchsyes it was far away between Jordan and Kobe
As well as LeBron and Kobe
@HannibalBarca-d8e LeBron is better than Kobe and ranks higher all time due to his far superior stats as well as accolades
and more statistically dominant seasons that are really good especially on the advanced stats of things
Kobe didn’t lead the nba at any point in any advanced stat category which shows he was never truly dominant
Kobe Bryant is a top 10 player of all time and you can make a decent argument he’s top 5 but he definitely isn’t top 3
And you cannot put him in the same discussion with MJ LeBron and Kareem.
Simple.
@HannibalBarca-d8e Thank you for actually understanding my point and not turning off your brain and going into a vicious hatred when you saw something positive being noted about LeBron James.
Beautifully done. I was a sophomore in high school when he went to the league. I was jealous, and I didn't like him quite frankly. Until I saw him play. KG and Bean were my favorite players. I didn't like Gasol I thought he was a waste and could have found someone better but he made it work. Those Celtics Lakers finals were probably the most hype rewarding series I've seen since. Hopefully the Olympics will get the NBA trending and LeBron retiring back to the way things were.
He should definitely be on the Mt. Rushmore of the NBA. He was the next best thing to Jordan, it's criminal how LeBron and Clutch sports have tried to diminish Kobe's career.
How did lebron try to diminish Kobe’s career?💀💀
Thank you for spitting the same facts and more that I’ve been screaming about on Internet forums for years now. The truth can’t be silenced.
As a Kobe guy, even I cannot place him as the "Greatest" player of all-time above someone like Jabbar who dominated both NCAA and NBA at an unprecedented level. Bryant was maybe the most skilled player I ever saw, certainly the most explosive. While defamed by sports critics and robbed of MVP's by the NBA I still got Mamba ahead of Steph, Bird, LeBron, Shaq and Duncan.
Technically you could make the argument that Jabbar didnt do much from 74 when oscar retired until he got magic in 80. That's a long span of non-dominance. Not hating, dont get me wrong
@@mike_tkgchs Incorrect. Jabbar was on Laker teams with no talent, yet he still stacked up MVP's at a record number. Do you realize how dominant you have to be to still win MVP awards while your team is not a competitive playoff team? No, I don't think you realize who you are dealing with..
@@infiniteuniverse9528well you ask and you answer yourself so go on champ 😂
Skap always bringing the heat. Kobe is 🐐ed

"Honoring the LEGEND of Kobe Bryant on MAMBA DAY 8/24" Probably the best tribute and certainly one of the best statistical breakdowns. UA-cam this is your template on how to do it.
Happy Birthday to The Black Mamba KOBE BEAN BRYANT 8/24 🐍
During Kobe's memorial (which bron was absent for I might add) MJ said when Kobe passed away a piece of him died. As AI mentioned killers respect killers. Enough said!
Don't be fool by stat padding leloser james ppl smh
Skap. You’re GOATED for this. 🤝🏼
💜🧡
Love this!! Thanks for doing this Skap - very useful and needed!!
I wish you added the redeem team for his goat case.
@@m.ahmed.y1723 yeah I think what he meant to say is that the Olympic team wasn't bringing in the gold until Kobe joined, then won 2 gold medals.
@@m.ahmed.y1723MJ was playing in 08?
@@bajaboy27 even so.. Lebron was a better player overall
Another great video 👏 👏
Rest in power Kobe, forever a fan of yours..
i cant believe there are so many popular lists that have him as fringe top 10. hes definitively better than kareem and magic
P.S. Thanks for the longer form video, Mr. Attack!
What a video Skap. I get so tired of trying to defend him on social media because all these mfs talk about is mvps and shaq. At this point why do they talk about the old NBA if they dont even understand it properly.
Amen 2 that its exhausting tryin 2 go behind these dudes n correct them on how the game went down. I try 2 ignore them till I see or hear something so absurd I have 2 say something its really annoying
@@relicdad88 fax bro it gets too much. like them saying hes barely top 15. like are you mentally challenged? hes top 2 top 3 at worst
@@leohoutarou9980or saying Duncan is better and Kobe was never the best in the league 😂 just ridiculous
@@IsaacMSingleton1 that kobe was never the best in the league pisses me off so much. just because he only got 1 mvp dont mean he didnt average 35 in the most competitive era ever. he was so good hat they made the miami heat to stop kobe from 3 peating.
I saw the first upload quite a few times and the last bit always makes me emotional 22:23
Kobe was more than an athlete and I don’t know who the GREATEST, best, or most skilled is but I know that he inspired me the most.
yes, he inspires me every day in things even outside of basketball, like my career. He died but lives through that impact on others which is what makes me tear up
❤
I will admit. I was not a Kobe Bryant fan. Still he was among the best players ever. And if anyone was close to Michael Jordan in greatness, it was him. R.I.P Black Mamba
Kobe Bryant was the last Alphamale and truly will be missed
Just dropping by to pay my respects. Rip mamba
Saying he not the goat is one thing but when people try to say hes not top 10 is legit trolling
Some current players have Paul George as the GoaT. Without trolling. Some have Paul Pierce. Leaving Kobe outside the top-10 all time isn't necessarily trolling.
That 2010 run was crazy
It's always hard for me to make a GOAT case for Kobe, cause him being so similar to Jordan in many aspects offers the opportunity for direct comparisons. With that being said, Kobe is top 3 all times, in my opinion also behind Kareem purely for personal accolades. Any all times list with Kobe out of the top 5 doesn't even deserve to be remotely discussed.

Kobe 15 seasons he didn't win championship including being swept 3 times by Jazz 4-0 in 1998 playoffs and by Spurs 4-0 in 1999 playoffs and by Mavericks 4-0 in 2012 playoffs lol
That's not actually true. Kobe has his own style. Jordan never had his array of ball handling skills and jump shooting.
@@StoneCold2k57 the fact you said Kobe was Shaq's "sidekick" only proves how much of a geek you are
@@StoneCold2k57It's sad u really just did what ESPN do. Basketball Ball objective is to score the ball and then defend the ball period and Kobe has the most points at his position ALL-TIME KOBE HAS THE MOST first team all pro 1st team selections at his position ALL-TIME KOBE HAS THE MOST DEFENSIVE SELECTIONS AT HIS POSITION ALL-TIME. So u and every other brain washed fan can DISCREDIT HIS GREATNESS.

Skap doing god’s work. Thank you Mamba for all the moments of greatness we were blessed to witness. Rest in peace
The coincidence of Kobe being gone when a certain King wanted to take over as the "greatest Laker and Goat."
lebron was better than kobe since 07 check the numbers
Lebron never even said he wanted to be the greatest laker that just came out your @$$ didn’t it? 😂
I was in the locker room at the gym looked up a tv and saw his passing, I didn’t like him at start but he’s amazing and the real goat of the 2000s.
