Despite shooting just 6 for 24 in game 7, Kobe outhustled everyone and grabbed 15 rebounds which is very crucial in this tight defense, low-scoring game. He also did it as a 6’6 guard, which is amazing. People also forgot that for the whole series he still put up averages of 28/8/4! #greatness
Not to mention, Kobe wasn't even close to 100% coming into the playoffs (maybe 50% at best)... This series, especially, Kobe was playing with bum knees, 2 broken fingers on his shooting hand and also had a bone spur in his ankle... Folk forget that... Playing thru all those injuries and still proving to be the best basketball player on the planet during this time, he's definitely top 5 all-time in my book
One thing people often overlooked for Kobe was just how many injuries this guy just played through. It became normal for us without thinking about all the adjustments he had to make for little things like shooting motion, dribble angles, and even like how to fall down to protect injuries areas. Hell of a player and warrior, RIP Kobe!
The only player to play that injured and with a BROKEN FINGER IN THE SEASON, PLAYOFFS, AND THE FINALS AND STILLLLLL WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. NOW THAT'S LEGENDARY
@@arv9993 of course they're from the same era but that doesn't mean they're the same age, go look up how old they were in 2010....Paul Pierce October 13th 1977 Kevin Garnett May 19th 1976 Ray Allen July 20th 1975 This silly shit this guy said about Boston was a superteam but the Lakers was a regular but they had Kobe😬😂😂FOH😂😂Kobe had a squad, Pal Gasol, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum, Derek Fisher, Ron Artest, Trevor Ariza, Kobe had a squad but that's what these weirdo ass fans do, try to discredit Kobe's teammates so they can give all the credit to Kobe.
@Joel Villarreal bro I'm a month older the Paul Pierce and I was 34 in 2010 so that's how I know the ages of these guys, Pierce was born in 77' Garnett was born in 76' and Ray Allen was born in 75' go look it up.
If it was others, who the media or NBA loved, they will say, beat a 4 All-Star team of Boston Celtics in the finals to get their 2nd championship in a row, it was a defensive game and he grabbed 15 boards as a 6'6 guard. He did everything for his team to win. He is the GOAT. Since it was Kobe, they found all the excuses, he shot bad and Perk (not an All-Star) was out with injury on Game 7. Most underrated championship of all time for the most underrated player of all time.
lakers lakers lakers lakers....it's all over.....kobe bryant is the best player ever....lakers are the best team....16 championships.....5 rings now for kobe....11 for the zen master phil jackson, im still whiping the tears off my face, this made my summer before it even started, i love kobe, i LOVE L.A 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Kobe said it was not soft on Gasol, then that means he learned, did his best, and gave it his all. 2008 was a learning experience. Even though they lost that year, Kobe was proud of his team for doing their best. He was thinking they can take a next step, and they did. As a result, back to back champs.
My idol and my favorite basketball player Kobe Bryant i miss you so much my favorite basketball player and my idol Kobe Bryant 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@AstroXtreme 12 seasons after 4 yrs of college vs 12 seasons after high school. Big Difference. MJ at 31 had 3 rings. Kobe has 5. If Malone wasnt injured, and the nba didnt create rules to allow detroit to hack a shaq, he would have 6. Jordan also played against weak teams/players and the league had less teams/talent.
@RowinBernardo no zone in his time but the rules are not as smooth as today, you see how the rules change today which became in favor to the players specially the offensive ones.
@AstroXtreme they are two different players with different storys, and playing in two different times....the game is not the same. so i disagree with you, it is not too late....once kobe retires with more accomplishments than MJ, there is no argument...MVP
@RowinBernardo you must have mistyped your comment. in MJ's era the zone defense was allowed, now a days they have a rule where the defender must maintain a minimum distance against the player his defending otherwise it would be ruled an illegal defense. it's basically the reason why the lane is mostly always cleared now a days in an isolation play or a pick and roll. a rule that coincidentally was enforced when the likes of lebron james stepped in the court. MJ didn't have such luxury.
@samrulz7 many people hate him because he used to be so arrogant, demanding trades, bad mouthing his teammates back in the time they were always losing, hes still a little arrogant today but that's okay because he backs it up with his game. I personally dont hate him or the lakers, just hate some fans because most people who dont really know anything about basketball just pick LA "very strong team" and likes to trash talk others, bandwagoners, i respect LA, not those punks.! congrats LA!!!!!
@@SC-yt9li now when a team could get 20 plus offensive rebounds in game 14 points lead ain't mean nothing and if Ariza and Bynum was there Perkins would have guarded Bynum just like how he guarded Dwight Howard in the conference finals 2010
@TheDonUrbas like the ones on game 5? refs will always have bad calls.. and people will think they made a bad job when their team lose.. i mean i felt the same way when the lakers were on the road, so many bad calls.. but oh well, i still think this finals is the greatest finals i've seen..

Kobe "Jelly Bean" Bryant. aka Black Mamba, aka Mr. MVP Himself is the Greatest Player of All Time~!!! Kobe Bean is BY FAR the best player the NBA has to offer EVER!!! talking about KB24 and mj comparison is a joke!!! Kobe >>>>>> mj. 5 rings bitches and more to come!!!
10 years later this still give me chills
Shonn records hard to believe he’s gone 😢
@@Pink_143_6 VERY HARD
How? Feels good to see these more than his last years. The last few years of Kobe’s videos give me chills.
That Lakers team wasn't a super team. It was a decent contender with a superhero of a player. RIP Kobe, you're always in our hearts 💜💛

Bullshit
Stop it, you reaching😂😂😂😂the Celtics was a old team😂😂 Paul Peirce was 34, Garnett 35, and Ray Allen was 36😂😂😂Kobe fans😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

When you listen to Kobes interviews he ALWAYS gives you the tactical side of the game. Rarely talks about emotions

@playmakerzam Fair enough... I'm not really a Lakers fan either, I just prefered them to the Celtics. I am and always will be a Suns fan.

so i disagree with you, it is not too late....once kobe retires with more accomplishments than MJ, there is no argument...MVP

I love the metal
tht joke made my day
Kobe has more rings AND mvp's than Lebron.
Kobe- 5 rings, 5 mvp's (2 Finals, 1 Season, 3 All-Star)
Lebron- 0 rings, 3 mvp's (2 Season, 1 All-Star)
Kobe has 1 mvp and 2 finals mvp

I don't think it would have made much of a difference tbh.
@@ORRante-qe8ue Kendrick Perkins was a key player were rebounds and physicality was concerned , because celtics had a hell of a bench
The GREAT Kendrick Perkins
Chris96 Orrante agreed they had a lead without Perkins
Even threw the struggle, this man beat a super team that already beat him. One of the greatest
@fidz10 no thats not it.. its just MJ was just above everyone that is why he is the "best"
@TheDonUrbas like the ones on game 5? refs will always have bad calls..
and people will think they made a bad job when their team lose.. i mean i felt the same way when the lakers were on the road, so many bad calls.. but oh well, i still think this finals is the greatest finals i've seen..
@Phatinium MAGIC!
💔
lebron is the 3rd best
@AstroXtreme not in my opinion, but untill kobe accomplishes more than MJ, well mj remains intact...i love michael jordan btw, but i believe kobe will retire as the best
