Imagine if #24 Kobe hadn't ruptured his Achilles in 2013. With his High Level of skill & knowledge of the game his prime possibly could have been extended for another 4 years. Still my personal 🐐🏀.
facts. Kobe would have been the all-time leading scorer had he not lost the last 3 years of his career. Throw in the other fact that he wasn't a starter until year 3 and yea, Kobe would be at the top
02-03 Kobe (when Shaq was out a lot of games with injuries) and then 05-06 Kobe were the most frightening wing players of my lifetime (I’m 33 years old). You could just see the fear on every defenders face from before the opening tipoff
@@blackestknightx8881smh get off the net bruh dudes like you don't respect the game💯 you got real deal NBA players telling you how cold Kobe was but you, a casual fan, say he overrated that's crazy to me🤦🏾♂️
The kobe hate is off the charts. It's unreal how some people let the media brainwash them into purposely ignoring what we all saw. Dude was a tyrant on the court, pure and simple. No weakness in his game, played both ends of the court every possession, ect. But ESPN will tell you he was never the best in the league. 😂
It's the stat warriors that believe fg tells the whole story, Kobe literally said his high volume shooting was intentional, even when he missed he wore down his defenders they couldn't hold him.
Respect to Bynum....ppl forget he gave all he had left in his knees during that 2010 run. If I'm not mistaken I think he held off surgery to finish that season.
FAX! Also,he was going through so much at such a young age. People ignore that and the simple fact it was between Bynum & Dwight who were the #1 center in the league at the time. There’s not enough appreciation for what Bynum gave to the game.
It wasn't a trade ariza played so well that he played himself out of a contract on that particular lakers squad. Artest took a huge pay cut to win that ring
My favorite Kobe seasons were probably 2000-01, when he first became a consistent big time scorer, and 2012-13, when he dragged that not so super team to the playoffs, and tore his Achilles in the process.
That was on Dr. Buss. He didn't want to overpay. Trevor wanted 5/$50M (which I believe he deserved), but Dr. Buss was only willing to pay $33M (which is all he got from Houston anyway).
both won with the best frontcourt in the league though no difference, they’re frontcourt was just head and shoulders above the competition and you add in a scorer like kobe
He can't speak on 8, because he didn't play with that version of Kobe. The fact the guys are speaking for a man that's gone is insane to me. Just like Jeff Teague, saying he didn't like Kobe play style. Knowing damn well he only feels safe saying that, on the 520 pod. Weird.
Rape allegation was 03 summer . He changed it 06 summer . Wat u say doesnt add up . If dats the case he would have changed it in 04 . He changed because he thought he could be greater than mj #24 higher than 23 plus he said his mentality was working 24 hours a day
@jaywally6322 yawl must be related to that colorado b. The '04 and '10 runs are part of history...real history, easy to review. Not this Kobe hate bullshit that both yawl suckin on
kobe in any facet was my guy but frobe & #8 will always be the one for me even tho #24 became a better leader, had better footwork and better teammate.
2003 Kobe is still the most vicious
Ariza was so sick in 2009. Thanks for his effort to help us win the ring that season!
Facts he was A defensive killer and made big plays‼️
@rommelflores2618 💯. I wish we coulda kept him longer.

I think Kobe would have scored 45K points if he played in the eastern conference.
I still blame Dahntay Jones for that earlier that season.
@@moseschung3220 : Almost forgot about that. True.
2012-13 Kobe is the most underrated season of his career
02-03 Kobe (when Shaq was out a lot of games with injuries) and then 05-06 Kobe were the most frightening wing players of my lifetime (I’m 33 years old). You could just see the fear on every defenders face from before the opening tipoff
Kobe Bean Bryant, the legend that will never be forgotten! 🏀🤩 He was second to none and my all-time favorite player. 💜
The goat
Enjoyed the insight from Trevor Ariza
#8 is looking to attack the rim every opportunity with high flying moves. #24 looks to take you down methodically at every range.
Lol I guess. Great player but overrated
@@blackestknightx8881You must have never seen him play live to say some stupid stuff like that.
@@blackestknightx8881smh get off the net bruh dudes like you don't respect the game💯 you got real deal NBA players telling you how cold Kobe was but you, a casual fan, say he overrated that's crazy to me🤦🏾♂️
@@JstKole look at your feelings getting hurt because I said something against your god. You sound like a female🤣. How pathetic
@@brandmoney you're leaking. Go change your tampon girly
Yao was out only on the last game. The runs on 08-09-10 were insane.
Love hearing from you Trevor, Kobe really admired you as a teammate.

He was obviously the best player in the league in the 2000s. By far. Everyone knew it. Even china. Every city chanted mvp
Yup. Thank ESPN for that. They wanna continue tarnish him n shove LeBron down ppl throat
It's the stat warriors that believe fg tells the whole story, Kobe literally said his high volume shooting was intentional, even when he missed he wore down his defenders they couldn't hold him.
Frobe Bryant #8 was my favorite
Kobe was running the league and had it in a chokehold for more than a decade 🔥☄️🔥☄️

24 is most polished skilled player ever
Bullshit.
Kobe fangirls
@@blackestknightx8881last time I checked 5 was greater than 4. Kobe all day.
@@Cbill1987 who said anything about lebron?? What is wrong with y'all??
KB8 is gr8!!!
Man even though I love arrest nd he helped us win. I was upset when they traded ariza! I loved him for us
Same here.
Agreed. Him & Dr. Jerry Buss couldn't agree to terms about his contract.
It wasn't a trade ariza played so well that he played himself out of a contract on that particular lakers squad. Artest took a huge pay cut to win that ring
@@fatpatlives1998 Nope. They both signed for the same contract as free agents 5yrs/$33M.
Trevor was a better fit for my lakers back then
My favorite Kobe seasons were probably 2000-01, when he first became a consistent big time scorer, and 2012-13, when he dragged that not so super team to the playoffs, and tore his Achilles in the process.
Ariza was a great pickup for Lakers.
Number 8 could jump out of this world and was a high flyer.
If there were such an award in 2009, Ariza should’ve won the playoffs MVP. That’s how well he played, sensational!
2:49 Really? Smoke detector beep? 😂😂😂😂😂👍🏽Damn it!
Ariza salute big homie fasho Kobe mamba rest up 🙏🙏
#33 Because of his father to carry lineage.
#8 Kobe was working on skill. Learning.
#24 Black Mamba Mentality
That’s cool that Larry Brown let players start in their hometown even if they weren’t starters. 👏🏼
The goat harder era harder competition 💪 08-23
Kobe addressed #8 vs. #24 in that commercial. Different animal, same beast.🤣 #8 had more raw athleticism, and #24 had more patience.
They really talking like it’s 2 different people 😂
The Legend
Trevor's another guy Jim and Kupchik let walk even though he was a perfect fit with the Lakers.
That was on Dr. Buss. He didn't want to overpay. Trevor wanted 5/$50M (which I believe he deserved), but Dr. Buss was only willing to pay $33M (which is all he got from Houston anyway).
The fire alarm 😂
Somebody smoke alarm chirping like a single mom’s ! Change the battery!
Kobe was best in 2001/2002
5:58 why the fire alarm bro.
He got a blunt giving off smoke in an ashtray.
both won with the best frontcourt in the league though no difference, they’re frontcourt was just head and shoulders above the competition and you add in a scorer like kobe
Not the smoke alarm in Trevor’s house 🤣🤣🤣 money don’t matter
24 just trusted his teammates more
He can't speak on 8, because he didn't play with that version of Kobe. The fact the guys are speaking for a man that's gone is insane to me. Just like Jeff Teague, saying he didn't like Kobe play style. Knowing damn well he only feels safe saying that, on the 520 pod. Weird.
who aint changing their batteries
Have Joakim Noah on the show
3:35.. you know you heard it
💯
Ariza was cool until the end of his career. He started being an asshole and such a dirty player…
Oh hell yeah, it’s so good to see Jelani McCoy - shout out to UCLA
Chirp
Smoke detector 😂
Kobe Bryant is like combination of todays jimmy butler, kawhi Leonard and Anthony Edwards, skill wise
But better.
lol. Don’t insult Kobe.
I think it was the bullshit case he had in Colorado
The girl was a thot. She showed up to the precinct with 8 different d nas in her drawz. No lie.
Naw T
THIS GUY COULD HAVE BEEN ROBIN TO KOBE BATMAN...LAKERS FRONT OFFICE ARE CLOWNS 🤡
That was a beef with Dr. Buss over money.
@@melvinhhcp3615 sounds like the LAKERS front office...this is the very REASON I DON'T HAVE A PRO TEAM IN THE NBA AND FOOTBALL
I ran into this dude at hotel bar here in LA around Christmas last year at 1am. Thanked him for his 2009 contributions
no hate when I say this but I'm pretty sure he changed it after the rape allegations
Rape allegation was 03 summer . He changed it 06 summer . Wat u say doesnt add up . If dats the case he would have changed it in 04 . He changed because he thought he could be greater than mj #24 higher than 23 plus he said his mentality was working 24 hours a day
8 cost the lakers a chip in 04, 24 almost did it again in 2010 but pau became jokic
Lol, it never ceases to amaze me how the Kobe hatred manifests itself.
@@calmnrelaxed no hate just facts, if only shaq was with an non ballhog sg, mr blind fans😎
