Lakers @ Grizzlies, March 22, 2007 | After dropping a combined 115 points the previous two games, Kobe looks to become the first player since Michael Jordan in 1986-87 to score at least 50 points in three consecutive games. Kobe not only tops 50 once again, but he also records his 4th career 60+ point game, and second in three games.

Look at this man's teammates. He took this team to the playoffs in the most stacked conference the league has ever seen.
All they needed was Gasol lol Bynum was young and we had pieces just Weak ass Kwame and parker
They don’t want to give him that credit tho. But lebrin tho lol. Look at his rosters .... but Kobe in the west with the same roster Doing work.
I always tell ppl that the rosters during these few years (04-07) was worse than any team LBJ had in CLE (03-10)
@Uncle Junior 😂
@@clarkkent5791 what do you mean? in 07 Lebron dragged his whole damn team full of trashcans to the finals... Kobe didn't go anywhere with a shitty team. he just put up crazy numbers
2005-2007 Kobe Bryant with a good team would absolutely tear up the NBA. Too bad we never got to see it :(

It's a flat out crime that this man has only ONE MVP award while Steve Nash has two.
Funny thing is Nash and a lot of his own teammates admitted kobe got robbed mvps by Nash
Should have had 4
Craig Royce. He said that? You know Nash is a player you can't help but respect. If he really said that that's a solid in my book.
Kobe don't need MVPs, because he has *4 40ppg month avgs* only player since Wilt Chamberlain to do it *multiple times* 🤷♂️ (Wilt 11 times, Kobe 4 times, Baylor 1 time, Harden 1 time)
*Feb 03 - 40.6ppg* (58.4 TS%)

*Apr 06 - 41.6ppg* (62.1 TS%)
*Mar 07 - 40.4ppg* (57.5 TS%)
I can name 10 players with multiple mvps, but only *name 2 players who has multiple 40ppg month avgs in NBA HISTORY* 🤷♂️ more *rarer* than any *mvp award*
@@DTB1995
And that bullshit most missed shots in NBA History
Kobe had TEN 50 point games this year and he got off to slow start due to knee surgery earlier in the year. This man was unstoppable on the court.
should of had 3 straight mvps.
With the exceptions of odom and Walton, kobe literally carried a d-league team to the playoffs twice!
haha you’re giving walton way too much credit
You gotta understand the game everybody has a role not everyone is supposed to come in and be a scorer. Kobe’s Job was to score Forwards and bigs protect the paint and set screens rebound for Kobe and guards pass to Kobe 😂😂
Walton was trash LOL

Glad I witnessed all of these years. Most fluid and complete offensive game I have ever seen. No weakness
the greatest player I've ever witnessed
Don't Think i have seen a more complete player than Kobe Bean! This guy is ridiculous.
yep ppl forget MJ had pippen to cover bird and magic. VS kobe covering westbrook/harden/KD in the same game/series. Its not even close. Or wings covering him to deny spots/ball etc...while MJ is playing 1 on 1 with a 2 guard for days.
Kobe Bryant is the best scorer who ever lived.
Hell yeah and he was clutch too

imagine this exact Kobe in his prime against today's NBA teams.. he would literally outscore teams lol
if kobe played in todays era. He would be a 45-50 ppg, mvp almost every year the way they hand out that shit now, an oh more than 5 rings for sure.
@@Vmann2103 Sound dumb.
@@Leon-xp2zb i sound dumb? You see harden averaging 38 on 42%. Kobe averaged 35 in an era where defense was allowed. Go check the numbers kid, 2000-2010 was the best defensive era in the nba. Imagine with this trash ass defense they run now. But its all good you probably a casual lebron fan that knows nothing about basketball.
Vmann2103 yeah literally. Can you imagine the mid range’s he took then would be 3’s now... easily 45-50 a game. Not to mention how fast the game moves now
@@Vmann2103 kobe would literally feast in today's cupcake era
The greatest tough shot maker of all time. He made bad shots look like good shots.
Exactly 100%
That's WHY ahead of every summer when I play street ball I'm always out 2 months earlier almost everyday and practising these 3 Kobe shots:
#ThePullUpShot
#TheElbow catch pump fake shot
#PostMoveFadeWay on both shoulders
And practise makes it very good tho it's not even 10% of they way Kobe mad them look like it's crazy the Alien shots he made!
Yes sir what a beaut
Man you gotta respect what Kobe has done. He even has the 3pt record even with all the great shooters in the league nowadays.
#RespectKobe
I remember watching these games live as a teenager. Good times!
kcal 9 away games! lol
KCAL9
Same bro, same. Memories :)
I don't why people always criticize Kobe for his shooting percentage. In his prime, he was good for 45%/35%/85%. Not bad, considering his shot selection.
Sergio Garcia exactly
his mid-range percentages are 45%+ for his career. While most stars barely make 40%
People hate him because he challenges mike that’s it
Whenever Kobe is talked about, that’s the one aspect they critique of him because that was his ONLY weakness/flaw; Kobe was the most complete player in the game, and I’m not just talking about on offense. If he would’ve toned down his volume of shooting, he would’ve been a 50/40/90 player.
@@McStrokeAvision well he shouldve stayed in his lane
and he scored 50 in the next game again. that makes four 50+ games in a row (all high FG %, with two 60+). inhuman!
Man I just regret that I wasn't really a basketball fan during those years when Kobe was just absolutely unstoppable!
Dude in 5 years he will die 😢😢

No 🧢 All facts 💯
Kobe literally the greatest 1 on 5 player of all time 🤷♂️
MJ stans forget pippen was on a Cheap contract and tasked with covering bird/magic ETC....while MJ could just eat bbq chicken all night or live at the line. INSANE they even get compared on a winning/team level when kobe never had a pippen to do his dirty work on defense. PPL need to re-watch the 16-1 finals run and the KOBE tape when shaq gets taken off the court for rest/etc. And WHAT kobe did at 22 years old to those ENTIRE rosters.
I lived in LA. Kobe was great for 10 years straight 00 to 10, but 05-07(his last year of wearing 8, first year of 24) this dude was on another level. Im glad i got to witness it.
Kobe was great until 12-13. 12-13 was one of his best years ever until the injury hit at the end of season.
That fusion surgery he had on his knee in the off-season made him a beast.
@@OC.TINYYY nah. How old are you. If you never really saw him play in those 10 years. He was good but not on that level
Facts these people are delusional. Hell even in the 2010 Championship run Kobe already declined significantly.@@randyeason1830
@@randyeason1830Agreed. From 2011-2013, he was probably a top 5, maybe even a top 3 player in the league but he wasn't the same Kobe from the 2000s.
I always tell kids to watch his 2012 highlights and immediately follow up with his 2008 season for example. The difference is night and day.
Some rare occasions later into his career that do come to mind though the barclays 2 man poster, and that dunk on josh smith. But i most definitely aggree that swap to 24 was something else. 81 and 62 outscoring the mavs in 3 quarters the year prior as #8...but you can just see it in his eyes #24 that HONED killer instinct like a samurai with the sharpest/finest blade and FINEST developed skills....just an untouchable level of GAME on display 06-07. Going for 50 after this mempis game in a B2B gave me chills i really knew in the moment i may never see anything on that LEVEL of play/compete again from an NBA player. Still to me nothing beats his 22 years young 16-1 finals run TAPE....dude was let out like a rabid rotwiler against entire rosters when shaq was posted on the bench/taking a rest....PJ would just nod and he would GO to work..."doug christie 1st team all NBA" and kobe made him look like a NCAA player. What he did to the kings and spurs on that sweep run is some ALL time bonafide ass whooping on tape.
I just get shivers when I watch Kobe . Best player to ever live idc !! Kobe is my goat forever .. I’ve been watching him since I was 10 there was no one that could do what he could do !!! His mentality to be the best proves it all !! I’m so tired of these Kobe hate .. greatest player of all time I love u #KB24 forever fly high
No one on this planet can guard that '07 Kobe!!! Fucking beast!!!
Because he wasn't a player to take a bad team beyond it's place like Lebron. He was a killer who could take a great team to a ring.
+amunrahll Simply not true. Lebron led Cleveland to the best record in the NBA back to back years in 09' and 10' before going to Miami. The year he left, that same Cleveland team minus him had the worst record in the league. Literally Lebron made the difference between being the best and being the worst. Then he spent 4 years in Miami and took that team to the finals every year while Cleveland was in the lottery every year. As soon as Lebron went back to Cleveland, they were back in the finals every year. Kobe doesn't make that kind of impact. When Shaq left the Lakers in 04', they went from 56 wins to 34 wins. Kobe missed a lot of time that year with injury but the team did not do any better when he was in the line-up. The following year, they were 45-37. Still not very good and they lost in the first round despite having Lamar Odom and some other decent talent. The Lakers didn't become a real contender again until they had Gasol and Bynum. In other words, Kobe did not win when the team wasn't stacked.
This Kobe would kill prime Lebron any day of the week.
D jone This Kobe would take about 40 shots and lose the game
sandman1347
You forget he would win the series and walk off with the championship though.
Kobe's mastery of the game is like when NEO became the one in the Matrix!
I grew up watching Kobe Bean and he was killing teams from 2005-2010. Kobe was the league during that stretch. I think Kobe should have won at least 3 regular season MVPs.
R.I.P Kobe Bean Bryant !!! One of the best to ever step on the court
Fact bro
Kobe Bryant should’ve been the MVP four times in his career in 03, 06, 07, and 08. He didn’t win more MVPs because of media hate and going through a team rebuild mid-prime.
last of a dying breed. Hopefully someone will come into the league and want to play like Kobe and Jordan with the same attributes as them and can live up to their names and make a name for themselves
+TheeCM5 your rite I think so. its crazy how watered down its is now. dam near everything. basketball, hip hop, food, da younger generation ect. crazy!
+EveryDayIsAGoodDay lebron is nowhere like a Kobe or Jordan. Melo, kevin, pg13, Curry, and Kyrie of lebron wasn't there carry the potential. They just have to be consistent.
kobe dont got the mind to b great
amunrahII yea but kobe is more skillful
Dame Willia I’ve been waiting n there is a player ... Dennis Smith Jr is on his way trust me on that one!
His game is so smooth
Wow. This was probably Kobe at his all time best. His game right here was absolutely flawless, displaying every possible trick in the book. This level right here is up there with Prime Jordan.
actually this prime Kobe was a better offensive player than Jordan... Kobe was literally outscoring teams, he was absolutely unguardable
truth...
Wrong😂😂😂a primed Jordan was performing like this IN THE PLAYOFFS, NOT THE SEASON WHERE IT DOESN'T MATTERS😂😂 FACTS!!
Traslen Patterson MJ had actual basket ball players on his team in his prime at the age of 27 facts. Kobe didn’t have anyone from 2005-2008
If he did he’d have 6,7 or even 8 rings. Facts 😆😆😆😆😆
@@eddiepalmer9543 bro stop it, ya reaching😂😂😂what facts are those???🤔...kobe done showed twice how he can get dominated in the finals😂😂😂
It's really simple this Kobe this Kobe right here. Nobody in any era no MJ no LeBron no Duncan no WADE I mean nobody was better. This is basketball perfected. Hands down the best scorer of all time . And he was the best defender the goat debate is over.
Kobe carried on west his whole career . All he always needed was a good big men with him and he unstoppable. He ain’t let Duncan win extra rings fr .
Kobe top 3 all time fr .
TMK he knocked out/eliminated the most high win or 60+ win teams all time
It’s so weird to say Kobe is underrated…. That’s how I feel. Teams feared him and the opposing fans already knew it was over if he had the last shot
best ever!!!!! 5-7 in the finals....unguardable lol...mama there goes that man
Bro kobe is five and two homie get it right
must be talking about his lovestruck lebron who is actually even worst 3-6 haha
He ment 5 for 7
@@christiancohen6066 he won 5 out of 7 you twat
I'm 52 don't believe I've ever seen a prettier shot from a basketball player Kobe was one of the best beautiful
From 2005-2007 Kobe was at his absolute peak as an overall basketball player. It should come as no surprise that during this stretch he scored 62 in 3 quarters, had 4 straight 50+ point games, a 65 point game and of course the 81. Unfortunately during this stretch his 2nd best teammate was a highly talented but enigmatic, and at times inconsistent Lamer Odom. To me Kobe was on the down side of his prime when the Lakers won back 2 back championships in 09 and 10. Imagine this or 2006 version of Kobe on those teams.
to think he'd do this ten years later in his final game...we really were lucky.
After 2 injury’s…. 🐐🐐
haters will say magic is the greatest laker ever... magic cant do what kobe can do..but kobe can do what magic can do
No he cant, kobe didnt play all 5 positions. Overall tho kobe had a better career, records wise
Good point
+Gary Thompson yeah kobe had to play duncan,garnett,pierce,tmac,vince,nash,kidd,Kd,lebron,allen,artest,howard,shaq
Lol people have no reason to say magic is better Kobes the 🐐 with mj
The greatest laker title between kobe and magic is really a debate
Kobe better than LeBron hands down there is really no need to argue
Well let's not take away Lebron also carried really weak Cavaliers teams (2007 and 2018) to the finals
KobeBryantt237
Not the same.............
KobeBryant237 2018 It was literally the same team as the season before lol All the analysts on TV were saying they were the most stacked team in the league going into the season. They underachieved and LeBron had a lot to do with that. It was only later in the season when this whole "he doesn't have enough help" narrative was put out there
@@benjaminfranklin4149 Well I wouldn't say reaching the finals is an underachievement. Lots of differing opinions but we can all agree they are both top 10 all time GOATS

He had help though. and even with that, it was the eastern conference.
that year the entire Lakers Roster was shit except for Odom. Talking about a 1 man army
+vayahoo That's how it was from the '04-'05 season until '08 when the Gasol trade went down.
+The Dream Merchant and they didn't even get him until halfway through the season
Jae Brown Exactly. Kobe was on his way out until that happened.
+vayahoo Wrong, Walton, Odom, and Sasha were on the 08-10 championship team.
+Mehran M same goes for bynum
Kobe would make shots that would demoralize the opponent. Ridiculous pull up or fade away jump shot, clutch 3s, explosive athleticism, fundamentally sound, and and a consistent killer instinct.
Yup. Every time.
Kobe Bryant was just a beast on the court. If he doesn't get hurt imagine how long he could have played. He's truly a goat. RIP Mamba and Gigi. She was going to be just like her daddy. Lady Mambacetia. I think she would have been the best WNBA player ever just like her daddy. She was training by the best.
@@carolynstrozier3179 no she wouldnt have been the best ever lol
This was 10 years ago today !...kobe was such an unstoppable scoring machine at this time in his career. It was just unreal what he was out there doing on the court
R.I.P. Bean, you were the most underrated superstar ever. THE REAL GOAT!
And they say lebron is better and forgotten this man ...the man is way on another level...mamba
Kobe Bryant 🏀 ✋🏾 down better than LeBron
Gasol got tired of Kobe having scoring outbursts on him lol. 56 in 3qtrs..60 here..like damn . And Gasol was NOT getting talked about here..which shows you how good he became playing with Kobe
Now gasol was great before he got to the lakers that’s why he was picked up
he was always a good player but as the saying goes...what helps define the difference between good and great is a championship NGL. They talk big on pau when they like to upsell how much "HELP" kobe had...but never wonder why/how PAU's best playing/winning was as a LAKER big surprise. They even talk up bynum even when PJ knew damn well His coaching and playing in LA was the ONLY reason he had any relative success in the league ESP when buss drafted him at 17 years old LMFAO. PPL really act like some of these dudes move on to continue a bonafide/allstar level of play or win once they leave the situation SMDH. Let alone shaq talking up a shit storm....acting like he wasnt carried by 24 year old wade in a finals.
I was at this game. And I was a witness to Kobe showing his entire arsenal in one game!
You lucky
Kobe Bean Bryant is the Best basketball player in NBA history!...THEY MUST HATE WHEN YOU THAT GREAT....at the Same time making excuses for mj/Bron when they lose
A genius at work, perfecting the craft, KB 24/8
Love how Kobe competes. He's had so many head to head scuffles and battles, and it was such a blessing to be able to witness that. Now days, you don't get that from superstars. People kissing each other's asses all day. This league needs more trash talk, more rivalrie, less fuck boying around!
Thus right here, IS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER TO EVER LIVE...
I will show this clips to my son when he grows up.
What’s funny is now a day This the year they saying he wasn’t the best in the nba 🤣...man lie, women lie, stats lie....film never lies

Best of my generation
Kobe is so unstoppable!!!! ❤😊😊😊❤😊😊😊
While he's scoring, if you look at the score, this Laker team was not blowing out other teams. Kobe had to get into his zone and score like he did. Whatever it took
People talk about LeBron having bad teams....kobe had to score 40, 50 and 60 for his team to barely win. The lakers waisted about 3-4 years of Kobe’s prime because he had to play with nothing but bums .....smfh
John B gotta respect Kobe’s loyalty and drive tho to keep ballin and to remain at lakers!
It was his own fault for forcing shaq out and creating the perception of being a bad teammate so that nobody wanted to join him
@@jeremiahsymonette4781 its not his fault because none of lakers trades were approved by commisioner because they didnt want kobe to win
@@jeremiahsymonette4781 and if shaq didnt get forced out he would of let himself go and they would have never won
LeBron playing on bad teams is a myth. 07 Cavs were the 4th best defensive team in the league with the best defensive coach in charge.
Pau before the game “if you score more than 50 I’m joining your team next season”
Dahntay finally got Kobe in 2013 with the not letting the shooter land clean tactic. Did it all through the 00s with Memphis and Denver.
Kobe was the one guy who could have broke Wilt's record 100 points in a game. And since Wilt played 90 years ago against short unathletic white guys, it might never be broken but when Kobe was in the zone he could make any shot any time.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂90 years ago
Do your research on wilts competition throughout his career before making another dumb comment like that
@Morning Star 🤦♂️No shit sherlock....played against a lot of hall of fame blacks also. Like Kareem and bill Russell
Erich Von Manstein He clearly didn’t lose every game or close 🤦♂️ and the only reasons he lost at all to those guys were because they almost always had way better rosters than will. Do y’all clowns do any research?🤣🤣
@Erich Von Manstein 😂😂😂Facts are just excuses to the ignorant. I guess in a team game like basketball....teammates don't matter right?😂😂 Wonder why he won games more with the Lakers than philly?🤔🤔Oh yea....because he had the logo, gail Goodrich and other HOFers on his team.

Greatest in game scorer ever. Nobody got hot like kobe. Most stars would be hot just in one game, kobe would be hot for days weeks even months
That's 62 in the 3qtrs. Didnt play the 4th 👀
7:48 Kids, learn that move. notice how he rise the ball up as he's spinning to avoid having the secondary defender knock the ball loose if he would have kept it on the height of his hips.
Prime Kobe was the perfect basketball player. The problem is he didn't have a long prime. Although he was great he was only prime from 22 to 28, injuries did affect his athleticism and that took him over the top.
My stomach FREAKIN stomach, hurts right NOW, BLESSED, .THANK you for YOU #8 # 24 . GOD BLESSED
As Grizzlies fan and Kobe Bryant being favorite player still have nightmares about this game lol.
Best commentating duo ever :)
as much as I love my Lakers, I'll never forgive them for robbing us of true championship aspirations from 2004-2007. They literally wasted three years of Kobe's prime twiddling their fingers.
Kobe was the FIRST player to make you think you can win a game with just one player in 2K 😭😭 RIP the 🐐 FR man 😭😭
Just imagine if this man had a somewhat decent team around him or if Gasol came a couple years earlier. I feel sick to my stomach to know that his REAL prime was wasted on talent like this. You give him one all-star, and a couple role players, he would've had at least 7 chips...there was no player, or no TEAM that could've stopped him.
NR 41 did it in 2011
Cant stop a team who's constantly shooting free throws all series
Hell yeah I agree. I remember telling people in 2005-2007 that Kobe is one of those great players that just needs one all star around him to go all the way. If you put gasol on that team a couple of years earlier with scrubs around him and Kobe, I think they win it every year. Kobe just needed a second reliable scorer
Yup he’s years got wasted with bums

this is sad man kobe can't be leaving!
When you look at this Man's basketball skills, it is truly amazing that he Mastered the game, I look at all these players they put Infront of him, it is disrespectful, I don't put Jordan above this Man, he emulated Jordan, but go look at how skilled he was, A.I. said it best this Man was right on Jordans heels, people won't say this man was better than Jordan, but I will, the Lakers wasted five years of his Prime, which is sad, I heard a fool say this Man was overrated, tell me this was Jordan as good at twenty two years old, Hell Nah, ! Wasn't even close, he won back to backs with , only one HOF, and he just made it, it is a conspiracy to slander this Great Basketball Player , jealous, he was the smartest athlete I ever seen, listen to him speak, says it all Haters !!
For the life of me I can’t understand how LeBron James is so often compared to Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. He’s not even close to either of them. Especially in the competitiveness department. He ain’t even close.
Hey Folks. I mentioned this on other threads so I guess it bears repeating: "Sometimes, the other guy is just better than you". That was Kobe Bryant. RIP Kobe 😞🙏
Best player ever
What Curry did the other night vs OKC was indeed special. Curry is a special player no doubt. And I will say that in my opinion, Curry is the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA. But what Kobe did against Memphis here is total destruction. He put in major work against them and no one other than Michael Jordan could do this.
Kobe in his prime 2005-2007 was literally outscoring teams.. he was absolutely unstoppable
Agree. The problem I have with curry is that all he really is, is a great shooter. One of the best if not the best ever. But that’s it. Kobe’s offensive play was flawless in every aspect. Footwork, difficult shots, 3pt, mid range, post. He has one of the purest if not the purest jumper I’ve ever seen. His offensive catalog is rivaled by no one. And he’s a great defender as well. I personally think MJ was a better defender than kobe, but kobe was better offensively than Jordan(skill)
CURRY DOESNT EVEN HAV EVRY SHOT IN HID ARSENAL HE CANT B D GREATEST SHOOTER N THE GREATEST SHOOTER ON D LIST IS KOBE AT 3
2007 kobe. Other worldly.
RIP the goat 😭
You can't stop watching Kobe videos, neither can I. I only watched the NBA solely because of Kobe. What a legend! #MambaForever
say what you want about Kobe. I'm glad that I got the chance to watch Kobe played.
Kobe in his prime over Lebron any day
I mean I don't want to be disrespectful to Lebron or anything because he is great but I think Kobe in his prime woUld've won last years Championship vs Golden State and he wouldve limited Steph
Who was playing for the Lakers in 2006? In 2012 Lebron had Mike Miller, Dwyane Wade, Shane, Chris Bosh enough said right there alone. All Kobe had that year in 2006 IN THE WEST was Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, and Andrew Bynum...who else Kwame Brown, Ronny Turiaf, Brian Cook?? The hell are you talking about comparing those two playoff years. Also Kobe also won a Gold medal. Lebron is great but in his prime vs Kobe I'm taking Kobe cause I know he can make those free throws and make that big shot. Lebron is a different story one night he'll make those big time tough clutch shots, next night he'll miss big time free throws and shots. Also he's never been a great 3 point shooter. Neither has Kobe to be fair
dyodoublej Also what challenge was in the Eastern conference last year. What about 2007? Last year he didn't carry anyone until the finals
+dyodoublej you lied about kobes 2006 playoff stats. He averaged 28 ppg on 50% shooting... And don't compare lebron, whos had a cake walk in the east for most of his career. I'll give you one simple example. Prime wade and prime lebron are both on the same level with kobe so so theres virtually two superstars on the same level as kobe on one team plus Bosh = pau gasol. Lamar odom =? Bynum nonexistant cause of injuries. The west is greater the east yet kobe still had the same success as lebron, winning two championships. Kobe carried lesser talent in a harder conference than lebron. Kobe faced more 50 win teams in his 3 final appearances from 08-10 than lebrons 5 straight final apperances lmao. 2012 lebron had a superstar team around him in a weak conference, made it to the finals while kobe faced the second winningest team in the nba in the first round.
+dyodoublej No you tried to be slick and compare ONE of Kobes prime years to ONE of Lebron's prime years only you said nothing about 2008 or 2009 or even 2010. The differenced between your comparisons and the problem with them is Kobe had a horrible below average team that year and Lebron and 3 point shooters post players and great defenders. OF COURSE Kobe doesn't hit all of his clutch shots but he has made some huge ones in his career. Same with Lebron. You just like Lebron better I love both of them I just think Kobe is better simple as that
This man was pure greatness
2:19 most impressive collection of one on one moves and counters from any NBA player ever
How in the wide, wide world of sports, did this man only garner ONE MVP AWARD?
The NBA should be ashamed!
One of the MVPs Nash got should have went to Kobe.
07, 08, 09, 10, and 11 were Kobe MVP years. If they didn't block the CP3 trade 13 would have been another one....if the NBA and media weren't corrupt.
