He's the LAST player in the history of the game to win 1st Team All Defense + Scoring Leader/Champion/Title (lead the league in scoring) all in the same season (05-06). It's been nearly 2 decades. Almost 20 years. Only 2 other player prior did that, Michael Jordan and the logo, Mr. Jerry West.
@@jaydenfeagaiga4143 basketball has 10 players on the court 5 on 5, each team has a coach, and organized sets they play according to. It is played with a basketball 🏀 and players on each team attempt to score the ball responding to the other team’s organized defensive schemes. In this game, LeBron will thrive in that cuz that is HIS game. 1on1 is about learning the opposing player’s tendencies and to predict how a player will come off at each position on the court. That is Kobe’s game. If you asked LeBron to deal with Kobe in a playoff series, he will make it so he is always switched off of Kobe to get an easier matchup so he can either shoot over or find snipers on the perimeter to shoot. He will learn all of Kobe’s teams’ defensive structures and strengths and weaknesses of each player. Basketball is a game that can be played in many different ways, and is beyond the simply constraints of “can he guard him”. I understand Jordan’s style made you feel that way but this is basketball. Nobody ever said Bron can beat Kobe 1on1, anybody who is sensible and actually pays attention can differentiate both their games without looking like a fool online.

Look at Kobe Bean picking that man up full court and was not letting up on him one bit! That’s the competitive fire that was missing last night and in the last few years. Kobe and MJ had that type of effect on the game, it was naturally elevated as a result. Now everyone is friends and afraid to compete against each other like they used to.

@daddy eyez I think we can all agree there's players/people that are more competitive. KOBE took it to Lebron, but lebron didn't or couldn't respond with the same intensity or competitiveness in this game. Looked pretty bad for the bronster. Which is why I would always take Kobe or lebron.
It wasn't really trying to expose LeBron he was just trying to shut LeBron up after LeBron made the claim that MJ was wrong just because MJ thinks Kobe was better simply because he has more rings

Ive noticed that most LeBron fans are 18 and younger. And they get super angry when anyone disses him. You all say you hate Kobe but if you were around during his era it would be the opposite.
I think lebron is the Goat and I've been watching basketball since 88. Old enough to remember kobe lose a playoff series after being up 3-1. Only 10 other teams in the history of nba basketball have failed so spectacularly.
So one on one Kobe locked up LeBron who is 2 inches taller, about 20-30 pounds heavier and who was in his physical prime when Kobe was just past his physical prime... but LeBron is better than Kobe? Got it... 🤦🏾♂️
Lebron cant body kobe.. dont ever underestimate kobes will. U tell kobe his assignment for a game is to stop lebron bet lebron will have his worst game ever. And kobe will toast him on offense you fans that dont even watch laker games because your not laker fans or haters because u think kobes a ball hog need to get real
Monee Boiii lebron has hit game winners in kobe;s face, he has broken his ankles with cross overs ( he did cross him over but reggie miller was being bias & said kobe just slipped) he over powered him on a lay up drive, just move kobe out of his was easily & on defense lebron blocked kobe's 360 dunk attempt.
Monee Boiii but I can show video evidence you can't....the only one is the one where he drove on kobe & just over powered kobe & got a lay up, don't know if there is video of that but how can you not know about it? it was on national t.v christmas day heat at lakers, heat won that game. ...the rest are on youtube just ask and i'll give you the links.
Listen to that crowd!! This what they wanted to see real competitive fire that Kobe always brought that’s why you see Kobe jerseys in every arena in his playing day people loved watching him play. And let’s be honest Kobe shut lebron down. Lebron didn’t want non of Kobe. Difference between them is that Kobe wasn’t scared of nobody but lebron would shy away from the moment time and time again. This right here was the last good all star game. Thanks kobe.
You can see it in james spirit, it was broken after kobe locked him down all fourth quarter. Kobe is the GOAT of this era. Every professional basketball player says it and sees if
Right, each time Lebron blew past Kobe he was met with help (Dwight) and that help didn't affect his shot at all... I just rewatched this tape. Not only that, this is an all star game and last I checked, Kobe spent 100% of his effort on defense, but barely got 9 points vs Lebron's 19.
@@gzhen123winning is all that matters to the black mamba. He don't care about the stats, but if his eyes are locked on you. Better pass the ball and just play decoy.
2013, Kobe's last dominant season before the achilles injury, that was right after Jordan said five is bigger than 1 or 2. That was the season when Kobe vouched they'll make the playoffs and he dragged them to 7th place. He also said Bryant is cursed much as he is, meaning the desire to be better, to guard perimeter players at age 34, and to have the desire to pursue championships.
Kobe was always jealous of the attention LeBron was getting. That's why he went out of his way to try and humiliate him in a meaningless all-star game 😆
@@randyfuller3057lol, are you seriously asking this question? You Lebron fans always make me laugh. When LeBron loses in the finals, you guys say that it's a team sport, but when LeBron has a winning record against a certain opponent, it's because of Lebron. Kobe rarely defended Lebron, and when he did, he would shut him down just like you saw in these allstars.
For people who are younger. And doesn’t know the back story of why kobe playing elite defense on a all star game. This is the same weekend that mj release an interview where mj picking kobe over lebron on who’s better. Lakers season was going downhill and kobe knew there’s no way that laker squad could make a deep run to the playoffs. It’s like a statement game for kobe and proving why mj picked him. Rest is history kobe wasn’t the same after that achillies tear. Non the less this is was one of his most under rated season in his career.
This is the reason why Bron fans hop on every Kobe vid and copy n paste stats cuz they know if they faced in the playoffs or 1on1 Kobe is taking it easily.
This game shows why actually allowing defense will lower your performance. This is an actual footage sample case for why the modern era has those stats
Not even gonna lie Lebron looked scared out there he didn't want ANY smoke with Kobe even his own teammates like Melo were getting a laugh from Kobe absolutely owning him.
@@razkable lol what you consider a foul in today's era. That's just clean defense that you're not use to. Remember, LeBron is SOOO Big. He shouldn't be crying when a smaller guard plays him tough.
Kobe demanded a trade in the 2006 or 2007 season with the Lakers. The Lakers didn't comply. You can bet he would have left as a free agent if he had the chance.
fraycus07 People would much rather be Lebron's teammate than Kobe's. Lebron actually try a lot harder to make plays for his teammates, Kobe usually just takes the difficult shot.
kobe knew how to check lebron- so smart- stay on hisright shoulder if he turns his back stay on his left. , deny the right hand drive and with his back turned- deny the right shoulder turn. he s pretty one dimensional as a scorer lebron- but so big and strong that he doesnt need the footwok that kobe had.
Great work and insight. It really is. Bron got what I call "A to B" handles. He can get to where he going. But he isn't shifty or has the ball on a string type. He got the step back just like you pointed out, defensively staying on his shoulder and using the forearm as leverage.
This is what separates guys like Kobe and Jordan from Lebron and Durant. That mentality. Ain't caring if this the all-star game or something but he's gonna bring it on. Lebron acted like he didn't want any part of this.
Well they played in Kobe's prime and no such demolition happened. A young LeBron went point for point with Kobe and actually won more games. Cute try though.
Dean Boerner You lying. LBJ didn't start beating Kobe consistently until like three years before he left Cleveland. While Kobe was winning RINGS. You can have the season series all you want, the real test was supposed to be in the Finals but homie choked everytime. Then he went to a stacked ass Team and the disparity only got worse as he entered his prime and Kobe got old. From 06-10 , Kobe was the best player in basketball and a Top 3 player before that , only surpassed by Duncan and Shaq. We'll see if LBJ can keep up the same longevity.
Kobe showed lebron what real basketball is block and aggressive playing , its a mans game ... am sure all the comments made about kobe fouling lebron is just coming from new school soft fans and players who have been taught to be sissys .... kobe will go down as a legend and one of the greatest players to ever touch a basketball. Kobe Bryant a true baller and Great!!!!!
Lets go Trinx i cant imagine how hard it is to be a Bron fan and seeing the supposed "best player in the world" get raped by a older out of prime Kobe like shit hard to watch. U already know Bronsexuals gonna start reading the stats of basketball refernce like they aint got eyes lol. Lebron got exposed for his lack of skill in this video
This alone should prove that if anybody's name is mentioned with MJ it should be Kobe and not LeBron. Also this shows what the All-Star game should be and how it should be played. Kobe what a standup and respected job and should be admired and imitated by all the current players
I don't care how many mainstream media shills try and propagate Lebron over Kobe. I'll never buy it. More skilled offensive player, a worthy defender, ridiculous intangibles, 5x champ, mentally in another stratosphere. I could go on.
Facts! What's more disturbing is that the agenda media spreads its propaganda lies, all the while there is contrary video evidence readily viewable on social media... and yet there are suckers out there that fall for the lies. It's as if society is just getting dumber and the agenda media keeps pushing the envelope to see how far gone people are. It is scary. And being young is no excuse. I don't recall being so dumb and impractical when I was a teen.
Miss this kinda all-stars where you could actually see the best players in the world go at each other at a somewhat serious level instead of the 0 effort nowadays.
Asmosis Jones don't matter where it was at if you a true baller you suppose to forget everything and get on your b.s cause duke was making him look crazy...
ensayofr your so right LeBron can't dribble . he has a upright set dribble. he couldn't drive on kobe cause kobe cut his lane off quick. Jordan was a way better defender than kobe so why is Everyone saying LeBron is better than jordon. better at what losing
You see everyone hunting down the worst defenders through switches today and this is a perfect example of staying with your man if you want to. RIP Kobe 💜💛
He wouldn't have made it back in the day. No skills at all. Head down and bulldoze to the basket. If you get up on him while behind the arc. He picks up his dribble 95% of the time. So all those stats would be out the window if the league would let people guard him like that. LMMFAO!
I've always said that in 2013, kobe was still the best player in the nba and even should've won mvp. People loved to make big deal about lebron stats in year 17,, year 18...kobe was in his 17th season averaging 27 pts 6 reb 6 assists and still played shutdown defense against the alleged "mvp" in lebron. Lebron is great, but to me he will always be behind kobe in the all time rankings.
This is just crazy how much y’all love to lie. Bron was by far the best player in the NBA in 2013 it’s not even close. Was the league MVP,Robbed of DPOY,back to back championship,finals MVP. Shot over 55% from the field 40% from 3. Durant was better too that year and one could make the argument Melo was better that year as well. All 3 of them finished top 3 in MVP 🤣🤣🤣
@@watersports1381 what this video have to do with what happen in the season in the important games. Kobe had no argument for the best player in the world in 13. It was clearly Bron.
@@FireAngelChris His point is: fuck what you have to say Kobe would clearly tear LeBrons shit in a 1 on 1. Watch the fucking video fool. In 0.5 speed too because you’re obviously that slow
At 1:10 you can clearly see the difference in two all time greats and what gives Kobe the edge on LeBron. Kobe is talking to to him looking him dead in the eyes and Bron wants no part of Kobe or the conversation. Kobe just built different, "when your idols become your rivals." (Aubrey Drake Graham)
@@FireAngelChris Not sure what regular season games "mattered" to guys with multiple chips, but to add context Bron went like 7-1 in 13'-16'.. Now let's talk about Kawhi cooking Bron in regular season games that matter go check the record. Lol
@@deshawncurry2029 lol so you switch to Kawhi talking point after acknowledging the fact that outside of allstar games none of what you said mattered because Bron in fact use to break off Kobe.

right man ! . lebron just wants to break records and titles and mvps and awards but even if kobe and lebron retires. we will all knowkobe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>lebron
spoketybacon5733 He really isn't and I'm a huge Kobe fan. Kobe is a better pusher, better bail out guy, but he's never really been a leader per say. He's the lone soldier that can command an army.
Kobe is a better leader, he lead his team to championships, hes always teaching and pushing his players to be better, so many players looked up to Kobe as a "big brother"
@Mmmm Chilling nah staring lebron down telling him he can't score and it being true makes it a better legacy. Remember, Kobe told the NBA what team he was playing for out of high school. Lebron got told.
@Aleix Ferré Galí why is it people like you take 3 words and act like it provides the true context for what was said? In the all star game, kobe consistently challenged lebron to which lebron deffered. I never said lebron couldn't score overall. Stop being disingenuous.

Wade and Kobe taught Lebron a lot of lessons and helped him eventually become one of the greatest. The guys coming up now lack that kind of leadership and mentorship. No one is preserving and honoring the integrity of the game. The international players seem to be our only hope looking forward.
***** There is no evidence supporting what you say, are you going to mention that Lebron has more wins against Kobe than Kobe has against Lebron? That has little to do with individual play, especially since they were very rarely matched up against each other when they played. Not to mention, Kobe's prime was over with by the time Lebron had entered his. Regardless, if you watch Kobe play defense on Lebron, even out of his prime, Kobe was able to D him up. When they individually matched up in the game Kobe was the one that was shining. If you want to talk about individual statistics overall, fair enough, Lebron wins. But Lebron was also #1 on his team from day 1, while Kobe didn't even start when he joined the league, even when he was good enough to. Not to mention his stats getting taken away by the most dominant center in the league. Which, you can say Shaq gave him 3 rings, but if that's the case then Kobe won 2 rings without Shaq which ties him with Lebron, but I think we both know Kobe could have won a couple rings without Shaq in the early 2000's. Lebron on the other hand only has 2 rings with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, who by the way, collectively are better than having Shaq on your team lol. If we're mentioning MVPs, they mean nothing lol. They're voted on by people who don't know what they're talking about and don't use basketball skill as a reason to vote, they use like or dislike. Which we all know that Kobe haters are ridiculous. Anything you wanna say that I didn't bring up?
JT Williamson who would kobe team up with in the early 2000s to win rings if he didn't have shaq? if he teamed up with duncan or KG I agree he would win rings but just like with shaq he would be a sidekick to them, he would get carried by them...if he teamed up with someone else where he was the main guy they would fail. so why during their championship runs did shaq average more points, rebounds, blocks & better shooting % than wade and bosh combined? i saw a commercial where legends like jordan and duncan talk about how much the MVP means to them....iverson was disliked by the media & he got MVP.
MJ and Kobe played hard every game..so all the people saying Lebron wasnt trying are probly right..he probably wasnt..and thats the difference between Lebron and Kobe and Jordan..Lebron will never be on the Level that Mike and Kobe are on...Lebron gets called allot of names..but one name Lebron will never be called..GOAT
Randy Flannery what exactly did I say that's wrong? i just said no one is calling kobe GOAT except his dick riding fans, just like some dick riding lebron fans call lebron the GOAT,,,,i never said lebron was the GOAT. BTW NBA jerry & bruce blitz are 40 & they agree with me.
@@Ma1q444 yea yea I’m not about opinions I’m about facts. Fact is when lebron couldn’t get past Boston and Orlando to see Kobe in the finals, Kobe was winning back to back. He knew what was waiting for him on the other side. He couldn’t get past them two teams, u really think he woulda beat Kobe? Stop it. If he lost to Kobe he wouldn’t be considered higher than Kobe. He got lucky he wasn’t good enough to get the job done and make it to play the Lakers
@@Ma1q444 not in the finals my G. And Jordan got more titles, and 3peated twice. Kobe resume would have put him over bron if he beat him twice in the finals. Which he probably would have those 2 years
This is my simple statement of KOBE being better..... I'd rather break "legendary accomplishments & records" than have "pretty stats" When comparing "stats", your just comparing how "good" both players are. But when you compare "records and accomplishment" your comparing how "great" both players are. Legendary records and accomplishments are for GOAT players...... Lebron only has good stats thats it.... lol
Jomel Sagsagat lebron has set & broken many records. especially those "youngest player to ______ record" .....accomplishments, lebron got his 2 finals MVP's faster than kobe & 4 MVP's to kobe's 1
*****Kobe got robbed on at least 2 MVP's and plus Kobe came in the mid 90's with better competition and Lebron's generation is more soft so of course he's going to get some MVP's.
***** win championships? oh ok so robert horry is better than kobe since he has 7, & 7 beats 5....do players want to win the rings as the main guy like the way jordan won all of his 6 & the way lebron won both of his or do they want to get carried to them like kobe got carried to 3 by shaq? if your answer is "it doesn't matter as long as they win" then you admit horry is better than kobe & jordan & many other legends...pippen is better than kobe cuz 6 beats 5.
Philly Smileyy nash entered the same yr as kobe & nash has 2 MVP's LOL...iverson entered the same yr as kobe and he got his in 01, was it better competition in 01 or was it already "soft"?..lebron entered in 03, two yrs after iverson won his. so how many times did KG get robbed? & how did kboe get robbed? he wasn't even the best player on his team, shaq was & when shaq left lakers couldn't win enough games for kobe to qualify.
This is what made Kobe different. Most of the elite players don’t want to find out - what if my best isn’t good enough? What if I give my all and lebron beats me? Kobe was willing to risk it all while most athletes will actually try to protect their ego. Lebron never wanted to go at the opponents best player in this way.
Ray Rayz but he's the best finisher of all time, best athlete of all time, and the 2nd greatest player of all time. Idk how u can be talentless and do all that. Plz explain.
For everyone saying kobe was trying too hard. Kobe played in the era where all star games were play to win not play to have fun. Besides kobe has michael jordans level of competitiveness
+imsljr420 +imsljr420 when someone carries a team it means they pretty much had no help ex: Allen Iverson 2001. Lebron 2007. Kobe 2006 etc so what you're telling me is if kobe didn't jack up those shots and covert them into 28 points the lakers would have still won? Besides who else would be the offense other than shaq? Derek Fisher? Rick Fox? Also shaq and kobe joined the lakers in 1996. If shaq could carry a team how come they didn't win there? As soon as kobe got good so did the Lakers.
ysaiah manarin yup...all those extra let's say 8 shots that kobe jacked up could've been assist to either shaq for a dunk or a pass to an open player for a higher percentage shot...fisher & horry proved they can hit big shots so he could've passed to them more....also lets look at this FACT...in 2000 kobe average 15 ppg in the finals and lakers WON so obviously he didn't need to score 28. and NO lakers didn't start winning when kobe got good, they started winning when they got phil jackson to coach them.
***** odom was bench? so who was their starting PF? odom in 06 shot 37.2% from 3's BTW so why "lol no"?..kobe also had caron butler who was an all-star in washington.
Lebron is my favourite player but I can't stand people that think that he is anywhere near the level of Jordan or Kobe, if lebron played either of them he would have his worst game ever

Great work and insight. It really is. Bron got what I call "A to B" handles. He can get to where he going. But he isn't shifty or has the ball on a string type. He got the step back just like you pointed out, defensively staying on his shoulder and using the forearm as leverage.

The All-Star game died when Kobe retired!!!
Wade and Kobe taught Lebron a lot of lessons and helped him eventually become one of the greatest. The guys coming up now lack that kind of leadership and mentorship. No one is preserving and honoring the integrity of the game. The international players seem to be our only hope looking forward.
I wish they joined the league at the same time... Just to watch Kobe fuck Lebron up lol
JT Williamson when kboe was in his prime & lebron was new lebron dominated kobe & kobe had better help.
***** Lol, you have no idea what you're talking about.
JT Williamson then why can I back up what I said with EVIDENCE and you can't?
***** There is no evidence supporting what you say, are you going to mention that Lebron has more wins against Kobe than Kobe has against Lebron? That has little to do with individual play, especially since they were very rarely matched up against each other when they played.
Not to mention, Kobe's prime was over with by the time Lebron had entered his. Regardless, if you watch Kobe play defense on Lebron, even out of his prime, Kobe was able to D him up. When they individually matched up in the game Kobe was the one that was shining.
If you want to talk about individual statistics overall, fair enough, Lebron wins. But Lebron was also #1 on his team from day 1, while Kobe didn't even start when he joined the league, even when he was good enough to. Not to mention his stats getting taken away by the most dominant center in the league. Which, you can say Shaq gave him 3 rings, but if that's the case then Kobe won 2 rings without Shaq which ties him with Lebron, but I think we both know Kobe could have won a couple rings without Shaq in the early 2000's.
Lebron on the other hand only has 2 rings with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, who by the way, collectively are better than having Shaq on your team lol.
If we're mentioning MVPs, they mean nothing lol. They're voted on by people who don't know what they're talking about and don't use basketball skill as a reason to vote, they use like or dislike. Which we all know that Kobe haters are ridiculous.
Anything you wanna say that I didn't bring up?
JT Williamson who would kobe team up with in the early 2000s to win rings if he didn't have shaq? if he teamed up with duncan or KG I agree he would win rings but just like with shaq he would be a sidekick to them, he would get carried by them...if he teamed up with someone else where he was the main guy they would fail.
so why during their championship runs did shaq average more points, rebounds, blocks & better shooting % than wade and bosh combined?
i saw a commercial where legends like jordan and duncan talk about how much the MVP means to them....iverson was disliked by the media & he got MVP.
Watched this again cuz I just watched the worst defensive all star game in nba history
Bron just didn't want that smoke
Rip Kobe. Your legacy will live on.
MJ and Kobe played hard every game..so all the people saying Lebron wasnt trying are probly right..he probably wasnt..and thats the difference between Lebron and Kobe and Jordan..Lebron will never be on the Level that Mike and Kobe are on...Lebron gets called allot of names..but one name Lebron will never be called..GOAT
Randy Flannery well is anyone calling kobe the GOAT? probably his fans just like some lebron fans are calling him the GOAT so you're wrong.
Moron
Randy Flannery just a comment, no need to cry.
You gotta be a kid..any adult alive at the time of Jordans playing days would laugh at you..so go to bed..kid
Randy Flannery what exactly did I say that's wrong? i just said no one is calling kobe GOAT except his dick riding fans, just like some dick riding lebron fans call lebron the GOAT,,,,i never said lebron was the GOAT.
BTW NBA jerry & bruce blitz are 40 & they agree with me.
this is straight up bullying lol
Lebron with the suspect left. Kobe pushing him there all night.
Also, Bosh got dealt on in this game. How far has he fallen after coming to Miami.
Imagine what a prime Kobe (or MJ for that matter) would’ve done…
With age comes wisdom, fact is even an older LeBron for example has a deeper bag and a better knowledge for the game than a Prime LeBron.
Unreal. You’re such numbskull. Lebron without athleticism is a worse Lebron. He never developed handles, footwork, or a shot. He got worse.
Best thing that happened to bron career, is not seeing this man in the finals.
Kobe not even top 5
@@Ma1q444 yea yea I’m not about opinions I’m about facts. Fact is when lebron couldn’t get past Boston and Orlando to see Kobe in the finals, Kobe was winning back to back. He knew what was waiting for him on the other side. He couldn’t get past them two teams, u really think he woulda beat Kobe? Stop it. If he lost to Kobe he wouldn’t be considered higher than Kobe. He got lucky he wasn’t good enough to get the job done and make it to play the Lakers
@@jalencarroll5043 jordan lost to bird and still considered better so why is ur point
@@Ma1q444 not in the finals my G. And Jordan got more titles, and 3peated twice. Kobe resume would have put him over bron if he beat him twice in the finals. Which he probably would have those 2 years
Public humiliation is what that would be for Lebron.
This is my simple statement of KOBE being better.....
I'd rather break "legendary accomplishments & records" than have "pretty stats"
When comparing "stats", your just comparing how "good" both players are. But when you compare "records and accomplishment" your comparing how "great" both players are. Legendary records and accomplishments are for GOAT players...... Lebron only has good stats thats it.... lol
Jomel Sagsagat nah
Jomel Sagsagat lebron has set & broken many records. especially those "youngest player to ______ record" .....accomplishments, lebron got his 2 finals MVP's faster than kobe & 4 MVP's to kobe's 1
*****Kobe got robbed on at least 2 MVP's and plus Kobe came in the mid 90's with better competition and Lebron's generation is more soft so of course he's going to get some MVP's.
***** win championships? oh ok so robert horry is better than kobe since he has 7, & 7 beats 5....do players want to win the rings as the main guy like the way jordan won all of his 6 & the way lebron won both of his or do they want to get carried to them like kobe got carried to 3 by shaq? if your answer is "it doesn't matter as long as they win" then you admit horry is better than kobe & jordan & many other legends...pippen is better than kobe cuz 6 beats 5.
Philly Smileyy nash entered the same yr as kobe & nash has 2 MVP's LOL...iverson entered the same yr as kobe and he got his in 01, was it better competition in 01 or was it already "soft"?..lebron entered in 03, two yrs after iverson won his.
so how many times did KG get robbed? & how did kboe get robbed? he wasn't even the best player on his team, shaq was & when shaq left lakers couldn't win enough games for kobe to qualify.
This is what made Kobe different. Most of the elite players don’t want to find out - what if my best isn’t good enough? What if I give my all and lebron beats me? Kobe was willing to risk it all while most athletes will actually try to protect their ego. Lebron never wanted to go at the opponents best player in this way.
One of thee best comments on here!!
Lebron is a crybaby flopper.lol
Atleast he have a talent
Only talent he had was moving to the south beach....
Now, talentless.
Ray Rayz but he's the best finisher of all time, best athlete of all time, and the 2nd greatest player of all time. Idk how u can be talentless and do all that. Plz explain.
Carmelo Anthony
*Third or Fourth Kareem or Kobe's still 2nd or third as of now.
literally a big baby
As a LeBron fan, watching Kobe lock LeBron up in the All star game will be an unforgettable moment... damn i'm gonna miss their rivalry
Kobe is an old school competitor. Friendship is out the window on the court, he was in Lebron ear the whole game
He fouled every play what are yall looking at
@@traevinyoung9191 ok troll
LeQueen isn’t even in the top 5 all time. Kobe is ahead of him as well my opinion.
For everyone saying kobe was trying too hard. Kobe played in the era where all star games were play to win not play to have fun. Besides kobe has michael jordans level of competitiveness
if kobe had the same level of competitiveness as jordan then he would've LED his team to 6 rings like jordan not get carried to 3 by shaq.
+imsljr420 +imsljr420 when someone carries a team it means they pretty much had no help ex: Allen Iverson 2001. Lebron 2007. Kobe 2006 etc so what you're telling me is if kobe didn't jack up those shots and covert them into 28 points the lakers would have still won? Besides who else would be the offense other than shaq? Derek Fisher? Rick Fox? Also shaq and kobe joined the lakers in 1996. If shaq could carry a team how come they didn't win there? As soon as kobe got good so did the Lakers.
ysaiah manarin yup...all those extra let's say 8 shots that kobe jacked up could've been assist to either shaq for a dunk or a pass to an open player for a higher percentage shot...fisher & horry proved they can hit big shots so he could've passed to them more....also lets look at this FACT...in 2000 kobe average 15 ppg in the finals and lakers WON so obviously he didn't need to score 28.
and NO lakers didn't start winning when kobe got good, they started winning when they got phil jackson to coach them.
***** but parker shot 34% from 3's..he also had odom. why not pass to him?
***** odom was bench? so who was their starting PF? odom in 06 shot 37.2% from 3's BTW so why "lol no"?..kobe also had caron butler who was an all-star in washington.
This is what made me a fr deal Kobe fan. There's no more dogs in the NBA like he was.
facts
Lebron is my favourite player but I can't stand people that think that he is anywhere near the level of Jordan or Kobe, if lebron played either of them he would have his worst game ever
Did he not play Kobe in his prime?
@@nbastalgiacritic1751 u on every comment tryna defend lebron lmao. Now i know ur a bronsexual lol
@@nbastalgiacritic1751 He use to destroy lakers and Kobe. Even this very season they using
Why is lebron your favorite player? No judgement, just curious. Especially after watching this
Not a Kobe fan but he exposed Lebron for not being able to go left
Kobe>LeFlop
true and I like that you call him Leflop.
That’s when kyrie realize that Kobe is better than lebron
1:12 The way Kobe looks at Bron is priceless.
Lebron doesnt have moves of Kobe, Kobe play like he is dancing legend.
Kobe turned on 1990s mode and Lebron didn't know what the hell to do.
I could only imagine if he went up against MJ😂
Better defense than today’s regular season games
