I guess these children in the comments didn't know that Jalen Rose was a pretty good player in his prime. Almost helped dethrone the dynasty Bulls in 98, and the reason why the Pacers went to the Finals in 2000. Oh yeah and he carried the Bulls during the Jordan retirement curse. Yeah he's a "bum" alright. 😂
Theo Hanna Jalen was a great player. But kobe never forgot that nba finals and what he did to him. Every time kobe went up against jalen he always had a great game.
I also think that was Kobe trying to remain focused but also he was trying to be respectful and humble and let his game talk because the job wasn't done.
I love Jalen Rose... he might have lost that night... but he is the greatest story teller of Kobe's greatness... and it doesnt diminish his honor as a great basketball player... still Jalen Rose!!!!
An eerie coincidence, The Raptors were playing a 1-2-2 zone against Kobe that particular game. The game was played on January 22nd (1/22) and the Lakers final score was 122?! Hmmmmm, maybe there was a celestial alignment that day that allowed Kobe to score 81pts LOL
I hate how ESPN keeps running all of Grantland old footage, Bill Simmons is probably sick to his stomach lol. Probably feels like Jalen when Kobe went off during the 3rd quarter.
@xXKhAoSXx84 PS4 for the longest time I thought the Laker fans were saying BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and was like that's kinda fucked up to do to your own player, then one day I realized, "omg, they've been saying LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE this whole time lol"
Jalen gotta get alot of props for talking about this freely, if it was me I'll still be salty til this day, that shit gonna be in his memory until the day he dies
It wasn't 40 in a quarter, it was the 56 in the second half that was the most impressive thing I've ever. Just 2 shy of wilts record of 58 points in a half. And actually, he has scored the most points during a 20 minute stretch in NBA history. The last 9 minutes of the 3rd quarter, he scored 24, and he scored 27 in the 4th, for a total of 51 points in a 20 minute stretch of an NBA game. With 9 minutes left in the 3rd Kobe came back into the game from the bench, after the lakers shitty role players let a raptor lead of 7, Ballon to 18. In a little over a quarter and a half, 1 man made that 18 point deficit, into an 18 point victory. And Kobe is the only player to score 30 in a quarter 2, and when he did it, he was closer to the top of the list. That's not to mention all the 29's, 28's, 27's26's and 25's in a quarter, shit is absurd. People need to put respect on that man's name, and pop his collar for him while we're talking about it. We're not even mentioning all the times he straight yammed on dudes domes. Nobody threw down on dudes like kobe. And I ain't trying to hear no bullshit about anybody else coming close if they are bigger, faster stronger than the guys that defend them. That ain't exciting, your supposed to do that. And when the opposite happens, you try and hide the tape, ala LBJ. Mike and Kobe, they look like average dudes. Until you see Kobe looking like he's balls deep in Dwight Howard's throat. Ask nba players, people were scared of getting put on a Kobe Bryant poster, looking like the Linda Lovelace to kobe's John holmes
I used to work at staples center and was actually in attendance for kobe's 81 point game against the Raptors. Jalen even let take a pic of him on my phone that night
Keyboard Legend it’s the way the defense was set up. One guy at the top of the key, two players on each elbow and the last two on the blocks. Not a defense to be played against Kobe and fail that miserably.
That's how it started, then they tried different things but nothing worked. Before the double team comes, Kobe would split them before he could get trapped. Or he'd pull up and shoot from the way past the 3 point line.
That night was magical. Many people forgot Raptors were leading all the time that night and the game was competitive. It's unlike Devin Booker when the game was early into garbage time and no one playing defense just to let him boost statistics
Jalen Rose is a decent player, among those who joins ESPN, Jalen is definitely one of the best of all time. During his time at 2000-2001 Chicago bulls he dropped 23.8 ppg, 5.3 assist, 1.1 steals, 47% FG, 37% 3P. That’s why he despises Skip Bayless so much. Those people don’t know how hard NBA players train themselves. What involved during the game and etc.
I like the fact that we're able to see things from different prospectives. You can see here that they respected what Kobe was doing but it wasn't all about him. The coach was willing to give a message to them, and you can clearly see from that that nothing is always on the person in the spotlight. Actually here the Raptors coach was using Kobe's immense performance to teach something to his guys. And that's not a little thing
Kobe got buckets when his team needed it, when the team is struggling. He's not out there trying to pad his stats and get triple doubles. Relentless scorer when needed! That's what you want in a player
@@Jay_Briscoe that don't make any sense because if he only 40 after the third quarter he would still need to score around 40-41 in the forth quarter to end up with 81 points.
Jalen was no scrub in his prime. He was probably Paul George of the 2021 season. A very good player but not so elite that he can carry a team to the finals.
I love how Jalen is going out of his way to call himself, his teammates, coach, organization, and everyone but Kobe trash. He's not saying "We did our best but couldn't stop him." He's saying "Kobe came to our YMCA to show off for some charity kids."
When life just smacks you so hard all you gotta do is step back, take a breather, and matter-of-factly just say "we suck." You will feel much better after you cool off.
"When you guys huddled, what did you say to each other?"
J Rose: "we suck..." 😂🤣😂🤣😂
LMFAO
If Luke Walton woulda put 20 on me I woulda buried my head in the sand 😂😂😂😂😂
SMH jalen rose not respecting Luke Walton, that man and kobe combined for 82 points aganist him
Lmao
Walton only had one point?
Dude bahaha
@@mr40ppg He didn't score a point. He only had 1 FG attempt the whole game.
Oh.
Jacoby: "Did he say anything?"
Jalen: "Not a word"
Kobe is a Savage.
"How many olives?"
"81"
Haha just came from there.
Lmao seen that video earlier for the first time😂 I wouldn’t have gotten your post if I never saw it, but I did so that’s that😅😬👌
So hilarious
I just watched that video yesterday. I still giggle even thinking about it.
😂😂😂😂
Was Kobe saying anything?
"He didn't say a word "
Mamba Mentality
Assassin
I hate when people say that kobe dropped 81 cuz the raptors were trash. I dont see lebron curry harden scoring 82 on the nets
Nelson Hernandez. Because that cant kobe is a scoring god
I think curry & KD could if they took 46 shots. They've both scored 54 points on 28 FGA so it would be close but possible
GAME CHANGER Kobe passed Lebron career high multiple nights , without even playing in the 4th
😂😂😂😂
but usually FG% goes down when shots go up so hard to say really
Nelson Hernandez They're not shooting guards.
2020 Rest Well Kobe.
"He didn't say a word." 😂😂😂
Love Jalen, always cracks me up.
Tre Napier how was that part funny?

Theo Hanna so tell me when you think of Jalen Rose do you think of a Pretty good career or the 81 points...just saying
Makyia Bonner I think of the Fab Five, his Pacers career, and him having career years with my Bulls cause I'm not 16 years old
Rose was a 20 ppg player for several seasons and a touted defender... these kids are silly
The fab 5 is prob the best college basketba team ever
"He didn't say nothing" what kind of psychopath shit is Kobe on lmao
407Movement mamba mentality
Was gonna like this comment but it’s at 81 likes
407Movement Real talk no bullshit kobe has psychopathic tendencies.
407Movement lmao
I also think that was Kobe trying to remain focused but also he was trying to be respectful and humble and let his game talk because the job wasn't done.
I can’t believe the reason I’m watching this right now. 😢
Kobe the goat
Who is here since his passing? :(
Hes dead!?
@@HooKsONyou yep.
Still hurts mannnnnnnnnn
“DUH! Who’s Kobe gon pass it to?? Aight Smush Parker... He’s open for a jumper... uunnhhh 😒 okay?” 😂😂😂😂🤷🏾♂️ GETS ME EVERYTIME
If you tweet Jalen Rose '81' he'll immediately block you
Kane Chowdary 😂😂 u serious?
DonArvhie yea I did it a couple years back and he blocked me
Oh yes he blocks u immediately if mention 81 in any form
that's the only way he can block anything
8 is h and 1 is a = ha
Imma just watch Kobe related stuff all weekend long non stop and remember the good times, the greatness, and enjoy his legacy.
I love Jalen Rose... he might have lost that night... but he is the greatest story teller of Kobe's greatness... and it doesnt diminish his honor as a great basketball player... still Jalen Rose!!!!
kobe and jalen combined for 100 points that game
An eerie coincidence, The Raptors were playing a 1-2-2 zone against Kobe that particular game. The game was played on January 22nd (1/22) and the Lakers final score was 122?! Hmmmmm, maybe there was a celestial alignment that day that allowed Kobe to score 81pts LOL
81st like
Trolling so I can be 122nd like 😎
note2owns that was also Kobe’s 666th game
Lil Rock 44 also 66 percent of the Lakers total points that game
note2owns not surprised he’s a pupil of Lucifer.
Kobe =🐐
Already miss Kobe!
He had more than 19 on his head
Trawwgotgame at least 30
Trawwgotgame lmao Idk why he trynna say he had only 19 😂 Nigga had like 35 on him lmaoooo
Trawwgotgame nah just went back and watched Kobe mostly scored on Morris Peterson
Jordan Dyer 😂😂 tf healthy 19 ..nigga got a a career high on his head ...43
Trawwgotgame no he didn't I just checked the box score he only had 17
jalen rose funny af, prolly was the best underrated personality in the NBA
I hate how ESPN keeps running all of Grantland old footage, Bill Simmons is probably sick to his stomach lol. Probably feels like Jalen when Kobe went off during the 3rd quarter.
Kobe the goat 🐐🐐🐐
Mad respect for keeping it real 💯
Rest in Power Black Mamba 🙌🏾
"He didn't say a word"....scary to think how laser focused Kobe was in that game
Jacoby out here sounding like DJ Vlad. Faceless voice from behind the camera asking exposing questions 😂😂
Thought the same damn thing.
Foreal sounded just like Officer Vlad
He is dj vlad
"Not like Luke Walton scored 20 on us. If that would ve happened. I would ve buried my head in the sand."🤣
I luv Jalen, he keeps it all the way real but he cool
“We played a 1-2-2 zone…in the NBA versus Kobe Bryant. Yeh” that yeh had me dying 😂
Why he do smush Parker like that.
Craig Cole he garbage as hell
Craig Cole Cuz he a bum
Craig Cole because he's trash
kelly pastelli "At that time" When was he not a lame

Can we get Kobes side from that night on how Jalen scored 17
i got a healthy 19 hahaha... and if luke walton scored 20 on me, i would've burry my head in the sand, lmfao

This a much needed throwback
Ima start listening to Jalen he tells a great story
Jalen is too real 😂 love it
I used to work at staples center and was actually in attendance for kobe's 81 point game against the Raptors. Jalen even let take a pic of him on my phone that night
Kobe Bryant is the remix babyyyy
kobe best player in the world!! period!!
best in the world during his era...absolutely
WOW!!! They played a 1-2-2 zone against the mamba 😂😂😂

But Ninja Matul's comments is the GOAT comment ever
Really miss grantland, great throwback!
Rest in peace

A) 78

@@jameshall9873 that they should listen to him, i may say
Yeah I'm glad he got fired
That was truly amazing
one of my favorite videos
I’m so glad we got this commercial before Kobe passed. Just makes me so sad knowing that we should have gotten so many more like this
Jalen tells the realest stories....Grantland Jalen is the 🐐
Kobe got buckets when his team needed it, when the team is struggling. He's not out there trying to pad his stats and get triple doubles. Relentless scorer when needed! That's what you want in a player

Now they got a show
Kobe tha GREAT.
Jalen a real 1💯
Lmao my favorite story from Jalen. "The remix baby"
How come they don't talk about when Scalabrine scored 810 in a game
Andrew that was 2k
0.81*
That's only an average White Mamba game dude
most significant moment in jalens life fr fr
“He had like 40 something in the third quarter”
Top 2 points scored in a quarter
37 klay Thompson 34 Kevin Love
It was the sum of all quarters
he means kobe had 40something AFTER the third bro.
He meant he had 40 points by the end of the third quarter not he scored 40 in one quarter 🤦🏾♂️
@@Jay_Briscoe that don't make any sense because if he only 40 after the third quarter he would still need to score around 40-41 in the forth quarter to end up with 81 points.
That would mean he got 40 in the 4th, or it went to OT
Jalen was no scrub in his prime. He was probably Paul George of the 2021 season. A very good player but not so elite that he can carry a team to the finals.
I still remember that..
Jalen is a fun guy😂
kobe was giving it to Jalen and the Raptors.. that night, kobe would've put that on any team that night...
Kobe🐐
"I'm bout to take him to the post!" Lmmfaooooooooo. I'm DEAD!
lmaooo
Jalen rose somewhere punching the air
81 savage why you trapping so hard? Why you had to pull Jalen's Card?
Awesome video!
Kobe is the remix

He's not saying "We did our best but couldn't stop him." He's saying "Kobe came to our YMCA to show off for some charity kids."
Great story!
“Oh I did guard him, I got a healthy 19”

20 in the first half is still impressive a good super star game
But the second half was legendary
Jalen so real it's hilarious
“It’s not like Luke Walton put 20 on me, if that’d of happened I’d of put my head in the sand” 😂😂😂
"Why didn't we close line that guy?" Off the chain.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
isn't this THE GRANTLAND. The best sport show ever made
Good shit
Now I'm going to look to see who Luke Walton score 20 points or more on and forever look down upon 'em shame..
