- (2003) "Heart of a champion".
Rudy T said in the past to "never underestimate the heart of a champion". And when 3 times defending champion L.A faced a 27pt deficit vs the N°1 Mavs entering the final quarter, they know they had to turn into this expression.
With only 6pts through 3 quarters, Kobe was more determined than anybody to show L.A has still it. KB was simply perfect in the 4th, scoring 21pts on 8/8 shooting, including the game winner with 8 sec remaining. Kobe lead his team to the 2nd greatest come back in NBA history, handing Dallas its 23 straight loss at Staples.
Former UCLA coach John Wooden said that Kobe was the most fundamentally sound basketball player he had ever seen.
Kobe's footwork is unrivaled.
Lebron fans were too young to remember this.
Shaq was never better than Kobe. Never has and never will be.
shaq admitted that himself during the 3 peat
top three scoring leader this season was Allen Iverson T-Mac and Kobe...man I miss these days
It was just a better league back then. Every team had skilled players.
Now a days the players are more athletic but less skilled
Anderson A. I wouldn't even say players today are more athletic... the 90s and early 2000s had true elite big men and kobe and Iverson and prime TMAC and Duncan and Garnett and the most dominant inside force of the modern era shaq .. .. the only reason small ball works in today's NBA is cause the elite centers are gone... the 01 lakers would lock up the warriors of today ... Phil would slow the game way way down and bang inside with the diesel and then kobe would do his thing and big shot rob and Fisher would give curry fits... but in the end shaq would have the warriors whole frontline fouled out lol
Anderson A. FACTS. A much more physical, intense, competitive game back then. Guys weren't just talented and athletic, they KNEW how to play the game. The league today has been watered to just 3 point shooting and drives to the basket for the most part and the rules have essentially eradicated physicality out of the game. That's a huge reason why the scoring individually and collectively has increased so much. Just a different game today, and not for the better.
Mj vs Kobe...... We all know Mj is the greatest. ... BUT. skill wise their was nothing that Mj did that Kobe couldn't do. Except his post game was better than Kobe.
But then again Kobe was a better 3 point shooter and made the toughest shots look easy.
It's a tough comparison when you look at strictly skillset
Kobe's post game was great
+Anderson A. Kobe actually might of had a better post game, he worked with Hakeem a lot(not saying Kobe is better then MJ)
It is a tough comparision, and it's a great comparison because they are the only two players who played with that full offensive threat style, could do everythign.
+Jae Brown kobe fasho had great post game
"Kobe Bryant, 28 points a game, 3rd in the NBA, behind only McGrady and Allen Iverson"... boy do i miss the good old days
#3 in scoring in the league while playing with SHAQ on your team. Even more impressive.
single handedly won the game
Best foot work ever.
kobe said he doesn't want to be compared to jordan. they're unique in their own ways.
kobe is deadly
great game
If Kobe had Jordan's mindset and focus, he'd be unstoppable.
Only kobe can go from a disastrous game to an incredible game that quick.
Jordan's natural ability gives him the edge over Kobe. Jordan can leap higher, get fatigued later, and most importantly he was the best decision maker (i.e., Magic). Kobe has worked/practiced hard to elevate his game to a Jordan like level (playing defense and offense) and for that only; Kobe deserves to be compared to Jordan. KOBE IS < OR EQUAL TO JORDAN!
In other words for those who will trash my comment, "Kobe isn't Jordan, but he sure as hell is the closest thing" -- Sir Charles
this game just proves that Kobe IS clutch
@ambuj1991 Hehe, don't worry. I still love Kobe for showing what greatness is all about. He's still the best.
@Rustaveli2k7 Bryant is a beast, perhaps the best ever.
OMG!!!! Kobe you're amazing.
Kobe gets so much unneccesary hate, itd ridiculous. kobe grabs 20 rebounds, everybody criticized how he got no offensive. kobe scores 81, they criticize his 2 assists. People will never accept that kobe is a guarenteed top 6 player.
Tiger Lily it's only hater fans that say that moronic shit ... all former players and coaches say kobe was the closest thing to Jordan... no player today has the closing ability kobe had or the assasin scoring ability ...
Cause Kobe killed those haters' teams.
damn, he used to be so fuckin quick! i miss the days of him watching him drive to the paint like that. oh well. his shot is no less beautiful. greatest player of ..my time.
WOW that was crazy
4:16 poetry in motion
the double crossover at 1:55 was crazy, pure instinctive move. other could have a quicker crossover, but they are for show.
amazing..
agreed brother! agreed!
man, i miss steve nash! I miss kobe's hair. haha
+Kim Ramos W
what a grate came back. lakers rule !
Yes.
kobe, tmac, ai. he's that last one standing
Do you have this game in full? The ESPN call? There's a reason I'm asking
although kobe was a 2nd option he deserved the 01 mvp in season and finals but shaqs dominating presence overshadowed him from the voters eyes. 30 7 5 throughout the 01 run and he got caried tho.....if pippen was a C the duo would of ended badly the fact that pip could share the handles played a key component in their success
Lol at Cuban's face at 1:25
I wonder how his face looked like during the 4th qtr of that game
The difference between kobe and Michael to Lebrick is that if dunks and layups were banned from the nba Lebrick would average less that 5 ppg
wow...
idk if he'll b better than jordan but we will see how many rings he got when its all said and done......but i know 1 thing for sure he will definitely be known as the greatest scorer in nba history cuz i do believe if he stays in the nba for another 7 or 8 years and average 25 and better which he is capable of he will past kareem abdul jabbar on the all-time scoring list
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE MOST COMPETITIVE PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY! KOBE ALSO IS THE ONLY PLAYER THAT WAS GREAT AT EVERY ASPECT OF THE GAME ! FROM THREE'S TO CRAZY DEFENSE! EXAMPLE: 12 THREE'S & 9 IN A ROW, PLUS THE LOCKDOWN ON ALLEN IVERSON, & KOBE BRYANT 38PT'S VS T MAC IN THE 4TH QTR TAKEOVER GAME! ON DEFENSE! NO OTHER PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY EVER PLAYED AS GOOD OR BETTER ON BOTH ENDS! PERIOD!
I think any elite player can shoot threes and dunk as you said. I just don't see kobe as efficient in shooting as MJ was
@JohnNguyenFTW Ikr
@2pacisthebest90 mj
Number 8 was explosive
Number 24 is clutch as fuck!
ITS HEART OF THE CHAMPIONS
Is this game available in full - the ESPN broadcast?
when the heat are up by 30 and theres 1 minute left and the opposite teams bench players are in the game
AND Finley!
funny thing is kobe and Jordan's career three-point percentage is nearly identical.
@NallePu83 That's probably so. In that 2006 game, Kobe got to 81 because in the last couple of minutes in the fourth quarter, his team mates deliberately passed the ball to him and let him attack the basket as much as possible. He got fouled a lot of times too. I don't think anyone in any era who's a shooting guard can get to 81 points without the consent of ALL his team mates. You look at the last 20 points scored in that game. All were by Kobe. He's would need a lot more passes in the 90s.
I agree Kobe is better than Jordan. Kobe is 4th on my list behind Bill Russel Larry Bird then the G.O.A.T
The beginning of the vid. Kobe doing the Jordan game face.
what shoes are kobe wearing here?
the sole difference between mj n kobe is that mike was desperate to become champ similar to bron, mike was torching teams for yrs but couldnt win it all and when he finally arrived it was over, idk if phils the reason who really knows. But kobe it was about respect for him if shaq wasnt there it could of have been longer before a ship just how when he left it took him 6yrs to get back just to lose.
Steve Arroyo dude.you sound dumb man.... as soon as the lakers got.kobe some help he took them.back to.3 straight finals . . They should've had a 3 peat but gasol got soft in 08 .... and LeBron never had to face the spurs or kings or.blazers or nuggets or.rockets and jazz.. he always had to.play a shitty wizards team or Indiana.
the lakers went on an 18-4 run in 4.43 mins lol at the start of 4th quarter
i understand that jordan is one the greatest NBA players of all time but, you also have to consider kobe, kobe is deadly when he caught fire, once he start feeling it theres not stopping him, even double teaming him will not make any difference, his shots are unblockable, that spinning fade away, thats why team doesn't try to block him they'll just try to block his view of the ring and hope for him to miss. you people worship MJ as if he is a GOD.
WTF?! Dallas had Nowitzki, Terry, Nash, AND Exel?!
hell ye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So ur saying Kobe doesn't have heart? He doesn't have the heart of a lion? R u serious? Kobe doesn't have focus like mj did??? Watta hell do u think the call him the black mamba for? He didn't get that name out of a hat. Kobes determination and killer instinct is what seperates him from everybody. Only an ignorant would think Kobe isn't focused...
im not a lebron fan, but they did have all those ridiculous comebacks this year, like in the finals against the Spurs or at Cleveland
You think that the best player is the one who won most titles???? Robert Horry got 7 rings but no one says that he is best ever. Believe me defence right now in nba is much better then in Jordan's days. I know Jordan is very good but i think Kobe is as good as Jordan or even better because he got more skills and he is shooting better over better defence.
big lakers/kobe fan, but come on, now, Jordan would beat kobe in a 7 game series most definitely. Jordan was a bigger, stronger defender. Jordan took better shots and was more efficient than kobe. kobe sometimes can shoot you out of games with his bad shots. these two things would be the difference maker in a 7 game series between Jordan's team and Kobe's. kobe's been stopped in the finals twice. Jordan's 6-0 in the finals, 6 finals MVPs. Nobody could beat Jordan.
Nick van Exel preceded the JET
Ah yes good old 2002-03 Lakers. If Horry Made that 3 againts Spurs in game 5 of WCS, Lakers got a 4 peat.
stop the comparison! KOBE IS KOBE! JORDAN IS JORDAN! they are two seperate people, playing in different time period! There are no comparisons!
Cuban,dont be so sure about the win.you are playing against 4th quarter killer.kobe=best clutch player
are you a kobe homer/fan?
2nd greatest come back in NBA history> what's the FIRST???
Utah down 36 at the half to the Nuggets in 1996??
As much as we can give credit to Kobe (yes huge 4th quarter). It was more of an epic collapse by the Mavericks. 27 point lead entering the 4th quarter and lost??? NO EXCUSES!!
i dont know why u mention terry,STACKHOUSE+FINLEY,Big 3. dirk,nash and finley.
Averages usually aren't that impressive. Take for instance MJ's three point shooting. He had a season where he played 17 games and averaged 50% on his 3 PT shooting. But when he plays 82 games it's like 20%.
There's many factors that weigh in on the averages. It was impossible for Kobe to average 30.1 career ppg. Why? Because he started playing in the NBA when he was a 17 year old kid. Averaging 7.6 points off the bench. He had to build up his scoring. It took years for him to be at a great lvl
yo mamma.he's my uncle and bill russell is my grandfather
@ajmaddy17 No way. You look at his first four seasons he averaged 13,2 - 18,2%. Then during his final years he couldn't get over 30%. Clear inconsistency. He was outright pathetic from outside.
Have you even seen Jordan play?
DO YOU GUYS HAVE A PROBLEW wITH COMPARING JORDAN TO LEBRON. IS LEBRON BETTER. WHY?
Very
how sure are you about this?
how is kobe fundamentally better than MJ? give me examples
@fuwestside4 No. But I'm happy to hear you elaborate on your statement. Cause for all I can say, only stupid people are the ones who don't have arguments.
of course LBJ's teammate(D Wade) can do that
Now Lakers ate boring to watch..
@Rustaveli2k7 I know what you mean. MJ is seen as "God" for so many brainwashed people. Not to take anything away from the man. MJ was incredible, and he had some of the biggest physical advantages (for instance, his 50 inch vertical).
But I certainly wouldn't trust him having the ball if my team is down 3 points and we need a three pointer to tie. Give it to Kobe, a fundamentally better player on all aspects and entangibles of basketball.
36x64 = 28 pts deficit
Lebron wuoldve given up
Is this the game the owner of Mavericks was saying, "We're not scared." ?? HAhah....
Probably. Mark Cuban always had/has something stupid to say. I always loved Phil's responses, though.
On his Playstation 3 a week ago, but he used referee cheats.
he still averages about 28 lol
and they say lebron is better than kobe HAHAHAHAHA
2 Words , SHAQ QUIT !
jordan is retired....nex generation
@5juveniles5 dats wat i b tg
Never.
Houston Rockets ? wtf lol
This is my question: if kobe has more ways to beat a defender, why isn't he scoring as well as MJ? why is he 'fundamentally' better as you said? the way you describe kobe it is like you are describing him as a robot that can read moves and score any position with rarely any missed. If you say kobe has a lot of moves he can use, shouldn't he be shooting at 60-70% instead of 40-45%? If kobe is a shot creater for his team then why isn't he averaging more assists as well despite being a 2 guard?
im a way bigger kobe bryant fan than you
@Rustaveli2k7
stupidity
lol
@Clutch3Ball You know why Kobe score 50 point or 60.....because NBA changed the rules early 2000.
Kobe would never score 81 point back in 90s :-P
thats why lebron is better
If youve never seen LeBron do this youre a fake basketball fan you probably just watch Laker games LMAO.
