@@samuellee2108 true, but guys like pierce and garnett didn't trash talk to him or talk down on him, especially pierce, he doesn't trash talk at all, but kobe never gave them praise, even if you don't respect them, you have to state truths, especially someone who always played great against a legendary guy like you, so people can recognize other certain guys games
@@ButtZilla I stand corrected he did have 25. Still on 8-31 shooting though which he should’ve posted to let people know how that match up really went down that game…
@@bruceleroy2335 What's your point? Lol, I know what type of fan you are just by the fact that you are getting upset over Kobe's stats as if it means something against him. You act like Kobe didn't have a good game. Are you telling me that his 25 points didn't matter because he shot 8-31? The dude was 21 years old, and he was a top 5 player in the league already, and became the youngest player ever to make an All-Defensive team, and win a championship. He was also a 1st team All-Star for the second, or third time in 2000. The guy was already one of the most deadly weapons in the game by 2000. I can sight plenty of these types of games from your favorite player, whoever it is. The game is about competition, not percentages, and offensive stats.
Anyone that actually believes that Ray Allen was on the level of Kobe Bryant doesn't deserve to be called a basketball fan. I facepalm seeing some of the comments on these types of videos. All of the footage is out there, yet people look at meaningless percentages on a stat sheet to compare players who have completely different styles of play on the court, and they are judging careers based on one game. It takes 1 minute to see who the better player was by far, and it wasn't Ray Allen. To even mention Ray Allen being better than a 21 year old Kobe is actually laughable. I watched Kobe's entire career, and by 2000, he was already a top 3 player (after Shaq, and Duncan), and the most deadly perimeter weapon in basketball. He also played elite on both sides of the court. That's in a league with Allen Iverson, TMac, Reggie Miller, and Vince Carter. Kobe was above all of those guys by 2000. By 2001, Kobe was the best player in the league.
Nice matchup! Ray was that dude in those bucks years.
Ray got the best of Kobe plenty of times.. Just never talked about.
Yea, Ray's the humble type
Kobe tends to pick and choose who to praise and say to the public, but then again what do I know, I just want them from TV
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 Kobe didn't really respect players that talked about him when he was young and couldn't really get off without a screen.

@@donavonhoward114 Lol you done crying? Yes he had a bad game this game! That’s it that’s all. Kobe is an all time great.
dont u feel stupid
When Kobe guarded Ray, Ray was getting the balled stripped away from him 😂 airballing jumpers etc.. Mann Ray didn't wanna see Kobe. Stop playing.
Stfu. You weren't even born back then. You know nothing about late 90s/2000s basketball.
Okay Kobe fanboy.
did we watch the same highlights? ray cooked kobe in the second half like he did most of his career
@@ravisami3440 did you watch their careers? Kobe has been the superior player every year except his rookie one.

Ray allen is better than kobe point blank
I’m a ray fan and he not better overall but he definitely can go toe to toe with Kobe
he is not he is only much better at shooting than kobe, but yes they can go back and forth, so ray allen could basically be near kobe's level
Not even close.
@@EYECONN That's disrespect.
Okay lol
