How sad is it when you have the greatest players praising Kobe for the worth he is, but have random fans still dismiss those claims from them and point to a random stat. Is just soo sad.
Mc Grady was better than both of them but Mc Grady got hurt and that effected his career Same with Vince carter . I don’t even know why Lebron is even in the discussion
THAT FIRST CLIP FROM TMAC, GOD DAMN! That right there shows the difference in how different generations of people think. Back then people get together after that already achieved and validated themselves, today players decline getting past the struggle and just want the validation.
Shaq (in his prime) admitting Kobe is the best at 0:48, considering Shaq's ego and thinking he's the best is a big deal. I've been telling people that yes Kobe and AI were basically tied for best player in the league....in terms of all around play, gotta give Kobe the edge for winning and being bigger (yes if AI was taller it migt be a different story). Shaq yes most dominant no doubt. 2000 Shaq was the best all around and dominant with Kobe, AI, Duncan etc right next. but Shaq's liability on the free throw line, getting injured, not staying healthy played a part in him not really being the all around best player. Kobe was the best from 2001-end of 2010 undoubtedly. Then LeBron until now
Couldnt agree more. 2001 playoffs vs the Spurs. Kobe dominated the Kings and then the Spurs games 1 and 2 in San Antonio. He was a man possessed that series. Thats when I knew, this man might be as good or better than MJ.
He literally said seconds later that there weren't no problems between him and Kobe and all of us knew that was BS. Shaq's intentions were good and pure but he was gassing his teammate up.
Kobe is the best player of all time. Jordan never had to face opponents like the ones Kobe has to face. Jordan was great in his day but this is now. The NBA players right now compare to the ones back then in MJ day are faster, stronger ect it's way harder to score but Kobe Bryant finds a way to rise over all these great player. Kobe is the best of all time no question
kobe over jordan for one reason the zone defense which both have openly admitted completely changes how a superstar can and cannot effect the outcome of the game. The change happened in 2001 during kobe's 1st string of titles with shaq and it didn't stop him. Compare his numbers from then forward during his prime he ONLY got better and is the only player to do so at such a level with such results during the "ZONE DEFENZE" era in the NBA (honorable mention is tim duncan but he doesn't dominate or take games over the way kobe and jordan do, not in such a complete capacity because they can control the ball the entirety of the game),
Kobe says that because they use the zone...why do they use it? Because they cant guard man to man how is that harder on kobe vs mj? Mj could go one vs one and drive to the lane without getting doubled or having switches kobe has dealt with all of that which made him shoot more then drive and everyone knows driving is a higher % shot for kobe and mj so who had it easier?
Joe Kelly Ask Kobe lol. And by the way, they played about as much zone in Jordan's era than they did in Kobe era even though it wasn't legal. Plus, the teams were better defensively and individually, there were MUCH MORE great defensive players in Jordan's era. On top of that, the rules were much more tougher for the offensive players. I think that's the argument Kobe likes to use. Oh, I forgot...they actually had lots of real centers in Jordan's era and most of the best centers ever also in the 80's and 90's. They knew how to protect the paint you know...I think that summarizes it pretty much.
I feel like the arguement comes down to better athletes vs zone and which is more difficult to dominate i guess im overestimating kobe and mj's ability to breakdown the def and finish at the rim and giving kobe too much credit for becoming a better shooter then mj was i just think mj couldnt have adapted as well as kobe did vs the zone but you make excellent points
+Joe Kelly Look. First of all no need to say "Kobe and MJ". MJ didn't play in Kobe's era and Kobe never had to go through the defenses and defenders Jordan faced in his era. Kobe has never been in his life a better shooter than MJ. Tex Winter said it, Phil Jackson said it in his book " 11 rings" in case somebody will have a doubt. Not only that but Jordan was a WAY BETTER SHOOTER. I don't care how many times ESPN says Kobe is a better shooter.Jordan scored more than Kobe by shooting 50% (in a tougher era defensively in terms of team defense, individual defense and rules ) for his career. Kobe never reached 50% one season in a easier era defensively (specially for perimeter players) and you try to argue about Kobe being best shooter? Michael could score 50 out of double and triple teams just by shooting fadeaways after fadeaways man... LOL come on man...
Hands down Kobe is great he plays hurt land he is clutch and who can guard him and everybody says he the greatest the cant stop Lebron or micheal or Kobe but Kobe scored better than both of them
A big thank you to Phil Jackson, from all of us Laker fans! Thanks for your commitment and dedication to the team even during your poor health. Thanks and congratulations for the success you've helped bring to the Lakers franchise! You will be missed!
Kobe is on a different level than anybody in the league today. I am a Laker fan and i am blessed to have watched him blossom in this league and he always seems to baffle all of the viewers. Kobe in terms of pure skill is one of the best ever to have played the game. The individual numbers (62 points in 3 quarters) Its seriously almost blasphemy
kobe i never thought i would say this cause im a mj fan but here it is kobe bryant if not now eventually will be the best basketball player of all time....
Tell that to Kobe. He's constantly saying winning championships is all that matters. I agree with him and I'm rooting him on to prove it. It's his ambition. He has a a mountain to clime to prove himself. I admire his perspective and think when his career is done we'll put him in a class of his own.
Tough loss this year for Kobe and the Lakers but they don't have to make many changes to the core of this team yet, they still have it in them yet! Just need to pad out the bench with some young talent and come back strong next season, even hungrier than before! Let's go, Kobe!!!
Kobe has been my boy since his rookie season in 96, other than joe dumars, Kobe was the only player who competed against jordan on offense and defense, even michael jordan said that kobe was a more advanced basketball player at 19 than he was at the same age.......
agree.d different era's speak a whole lot of difference, that 92 dream was the best no doubt, and the redeem'd team would be something special if they are all in their primes like the dream team
So many people hate Kobe its unfathomable. How do you not appreciate this mans skills, determination, courage, will.....just pure hate. I DO respect the ones that admit it, its the ones that say " I don't hate him I just don't thinks he's that good" that really get me
im a kobe fan hes my favorite player all time but what elie said at the end isnt true mj is still the best but he is right about players being more athletic than back then but the players back then where smarter than today
dave mcmenamin said it best. kobe has [basketball technical percision]. he can make a high percentage of high degree difficult shots like no one else in the league.
For years, Kobe was villified for the Kobe-Shaq feud. But, after the Lebacle, people look back on what happen and understand it. Back then, no one could understand how Kobe would want to do it without Shaq. Now, we look at lebron, and it makes us realize how great kobe is. Kobe was already on his way to greatness, but, to become the greatest, he needed to be the man, he did not want to ride the cotails of Shaq. It cost Kobe some of the best years of his career. But, he is greater for it.
Yes, to a player winning the championship is their main goal. That still doesn't mean you can judge how great a player is on the number of championships they've won.
+GM3TV Dumbest comment in the history of sports. Actually the media have always been on Kobe side and against Jordan. You guys (Kobetards) are pathetic...
+GM3TV what the hell are you talking bout. mj averaged more assists than kobe over his career has had a season where he averaged 32ppg 8ast and 8 rebs. Jordan is one of 3 players who isn't a power forward or center to win defensive player of the year. he shoots the same percentage from 3 as kobe for their career kobe just took more of them. he's more athletic than kobe, and stronger which made him able to take easier shots and thus shoot a higher percentage. he stopped patrick ewing, malone, stockton, barkley, reggie miller, shawn kemp, gary payton, and more from winning a ring. He hit multiple game winners in the finals and averaged over 40 points for an entire nba finals, and 37 ppg for an entire season. Kobe is top ten. MJ is the goat by the stats and the eye test. He won 3 rings with centers most people can't name and just scottie pippen. then he won 3 more with rodman who was an exceptional rebounder and defender but was void of any offensive talent. He's the best ever.
The second option notion is overated in my opinion, Kobe averaged 0.9 less points during the 2001 playoffs. So technically he was the second scoring option lmao. But you don't win championships jst by scoring, it takes defense and facilitating. People forget Kobe had to guard Iverson, Miller, and Kidd during those Finals, plus he was facilitating the triangle offense, you could argue KOBE was a bigger part. But its jst stupid to argue in general you need two all stars to win rings not one.
All the top players say Kobe is the BEST and you have haters who never been close to being in the NBA say he isn't. Let the truth be told! Kobe is the KING
lebron such a salty hater, he can't accept that for 3/4 of his career Kobe was better. Kobe the second greatest player ever. unless you a sixty year old man I don't want you bringing up old school legends. the game was at its best from the 90's on. and the two Best since the 90' tell now have been #23 and #24.
I think Kobe could've feasibly won MVP every year from 2002 to 2013 but gotta love that Nash nailed that 3 right as Doug Collins said Kobe is the best in the game. 8:34
The irony of the Sas/T Mac interview. Sas asks him what he would do if Kobe said let’s join forces and make a run. T Mac replies AFTER I WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP then MAYBE. Unfortunately he never did win, but he wanted to win one for himself before he would join anyone else. Just how it was back then.
why are people so obsessed with ranking players lets just sit back and watch the greats Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Durrant, Melo, Rose, Dirk, these guys are all beasts
Im a huge laker fan and Kobe is my favorite player in the league but he is not better than jordan. He's close but kobe is not jordan. Lebron is overrated as fuck. He isn't even close to kobe or jordan. Sure kobe had shaq and they had a three peat but lebron had dwayne wade, chris bosh, ray allen, and the birdman. Lebron had all these people and still lost and now as many of you know, he is back in cleveland and he is recruting as many good players as he can. Lebron is a great player but i have no respect for him.
keep these videos coming...i feel like the NBA is going to start leaning more towards Lebron for the "best" player. I still feel like Kobe is the best and that is why these videos are interesting because his peers are giving their opinions.
@kaYboi8o8 I'm confused on why you're upset about 81 points. Kobe took 46 shots... And made 28. An efficient game to any one-without even analyzing the fact he went 7-14 from 3, which is also pretty damn good. If you're trying to win a game, it doesn't matter who scores the points in the end-it matters that you scored them. 7-14 from 3, 21-32 from 2, 18-20 from the stripe. I don't care how you spread that out, that's hard to match. And Lamar went 1-7 on the night. Why should he have passed more?
There is only 1 Big guy / Little Guy combo that can compete with Kobe & Shaq. That was Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West. Wilt was getting 24 pts 24 rebounds, Jerry was scoring 27 PPG at the same time.
@kinglbkiv What yr was the video that LBJ's comes out saying Kobe is the best? Cause the only video i've seen was in 09. Like i said i rather take Bird, West, Olajuwon, Barkley, Wade, n Magic's word over just MJ's
Also we must remember that had michael not retired the first time he would have undoubtedly reached 8 championships and then also when he retired the second time he was still at the top of his game, if the Bulls owners would have paid Phil, Jordan wouldn't have left he could have definetly won 9 maybe even 10. It'd be a stretch to say 11 but perhaps he could have reached Bill Russell. I hope my first comment posted
Jordan has said kobe is on his level and LeBron has said he's the best yet mj and lebron barely speak on each other their mutual connection is their love for kobe😮
I think comparing Kobe to Jordan is pointless until he wins 6 rings. If he wins 7, then all of us will be saying he is better. I'm a Kobe Fan, I'm enjoying the ride and watching history unfold.
Comments like this amuse me. Kobe was a lot younger than Shaq, Kobe had to come in and show work ethic, and prove himself... I think it's SAFE to say he did.
1. Michael Jordan 2. Kareem A. Jabbar 3. Magic Johnson 4. Wilt Chamberlain 5. Bill Russell 6. Kobe Bryant 7. Larry Bird 8. Tim Duncan 9. Shaquille Oneal
@sonik485 Yes those people you mentioned did change the game of basketball. But many years after Kobe retires one day, then maybe people will also recognize him as one of the very GREATS. His work ethic, killer instinct, and will to win are some things that can't be taught though.
Huge Lakers fan here and huge Kobe fan as well. LeBron is the best in the league right now. Kobe is number two. Kobe was the best player in the league from 2001-2009. Now it's LeBron's turn. LeBron's been the best since 2010.
Kobe is my favorite player no question he is the best in the game right now but the last guy doesn't know what he's talking about the NBA is a much more offensive friendly game. Teams used to go out there and basically tackle MJ there was no such thing as hand checking. And MJ was a defensive player of the year there hasn't be a guard to win that honor since him. Kobe still has time to prove he's equal to Jordan (Maybe someday better) but we can't say that now
Kobe is better than jordan because in the 90s it was easier to score then and micheal couldn't shoot 3s to save his life because he shot about 30% from 3 and u look at kobe about 45% and kobe had 81 and micheal only had mid range and inside when kobe has It all but this doesn't mean that micheal completely sucked at 3s, he did make them when he needed to but he couldn't make a fadeaway double pump fake 3 like kobe can and kobe averaged more 40 and 50 more games than micheal. YOU DECIDE!!!!!
The guy at 8:40 had the perfect description. Lebron brings strength, D Wade brings speed, but Kobe brings command.
Exactly
How sad is it when you have the greatest players praising Kobe for the worth he is, but have random fans still dismiss those claims from them and point to a random stat. Is just soo sad.
crazy isn't it brotha just pure ignorance!
Genau!
What random stat ?
That's a fact
AGREED
thank you jerry west for getting kobe.
Will C your welcome
KOBE IS THE GREATEST BY HIMSELF.... He Had No Help, No Love, No Favors, No Mercy on Him, He Was the Most Hated Player But He Throve No Matter What...
The most skilled player Ever!!
Kobe is better than Lebron
worldofwarcraftowns1
Lol obviously
Mc Grady was better than both of them but Mc Grady got hurt and that effected his career Same with Vince carter . I don’t even know why Lebron is even in the discussion
Greg Hubbard Yes he is and no he’s not not
Jeremy Elie Deshamps obviously not
Was 😢
THAT FIRST CLIP FROM TMAC, GOD DAMN! That right there shows the difference in how different generations of people think. Back then people get together after that already achieved and validated themselves, today players decline getting past the struggle and just want the validation.
how quickly they forget. Most skilled and complete basketball player to ever play
My fav player ever!!!
i'm so glad that many basketball player respects him... and i know he deserves it...
Ridiculously sick how everyone can say Kobe is always the first person in the gym, a serious worker.....
This is absolutely amazing. Kobe is just amazing. This video is perfectly made.
its cute every time Tmac is ask about kobe he always call the mamba jelly bean haha
it's so nice to see shaq talk some positive things about kobe
The most skilled basketball player ever!
I loved hearing Lebrons comments. It's amazing, and a testament to his work, how people show Kobe so much respect.
like phill Jacksonsaid kobe and Michael are so similar but the main diference other than their hands was that kobe took tougher shots.
Kobe Brings COMMAND!! “Say it again” 💯
Shaq (in his prime) admitting Kobe is the best at 0:48, considering Shaq's ego and thinking he's the best is a big deal. I've been telling people that yes Kobe and AI were basically tied for best player in the league....in terms of all around play, gotta give Kobe the edge for winning and being bigger (yes if AI was taller it migt be a different story).

Kobe's middle name is "Bean" and his father's nickname was "Jellybean" too.
Wade's basketball talks are always very insightful 4:15
Hands down Kobe is great he plays hurt land he is clutch and who can guard him and everybody says he the greatest the cant stop Lebron or micheal or Kobe but Kobe scored better than both of them

Damn man good video man i loved it Kobe Bryant best player in the league/Best player in the world
Beginning of the vid is him with wings crazy how things are now RIP
Kids that watch NBA these days should really watch these

you damn right!!!
hey jaythesex... great job with the series... looking forward volume 4
agree.d different era's speak a whole lot of difference, that 92 dream was the best no doubt, and the redeem'd team would be something special if they are all in their primes like the dream team
Dave McMenamins' comment was on point. Kobe is technicality and precision.
So many people hate Kobe its unfathomable. How do you not appreciate this mans skills, determination, courage, will.....just pure hate. I DO respect the ones that admit it, its the ones that say " I don't hate him I just don't thinks he's that good" that really get me
im a kobe fan hes my favorite player all time but what elie said at the end isnt true mj is still the best but he is right about players being more athletic than back then but the players back then where smarter than today
kobe bryant, greatest of all time, hands down.
dave mcmenamin said it best. kobe has [basketball technical percision]. he can make a high percentage of high degree difficult shots like no one else in the league.
bruh these bids are off the hook. there tighttttttttttt....!!!!kobe all the way elie seckbach!! you my man...
hes amazing im glad he plays in the lakers n its gonna suck wen it comes time for sum1 to replace him

Yes, to a player winning the championship is their main goal. That still doesn't mean you can judge how great a player is on the number of championships they've won.
THATS RIGHT KOBE IS BETTER THAN JORDAN HANDS DOWN- KOBE HAS WENT UP AGAINST WAY BETTER COMPETITION THAN JORDAN EVER DID
Your being sarcastic right?
espn has these people brainwashed with jordan and lebron lol

I love whoever made this video. -No homo.-
Just highlights the greatness.
kobe and shaq was that dynasty that should have never broken up
Kobe will be the G.O.A.T. when he retires. No doubt.
@ssotkow Thank you, glad you enjoyed them. Unfortunately I'm a bit snowed under but I do have a load of clips ready for the next volume!
@MaxwellHammer05 Just to clarify, Jordan's career high was 69 and Kobe's record is 12 threes in a game :)
kobe is the package!!!
lebron such a salty hater, he can't accept that for 3/4 of his career Kobe was better. Kobe the second greatest player ever. unless you a sixty year old man I don't want you bringing up old school legends. the game was at its best from the 90's on. and the two Best since the 90' tell now have been #23 and #24.
+Jonny Tee kobe is not second, maybe 11
+rayleigh8 Kobes the second greatest ever.. Ur probably to young to know
+Isaac_Mvp_10 no he's in the top 10 but he's not the 2nd greatest.
LeGoat James
He is 2nd all time and mike is 1, Johnson 3, Duncan 4 bird 5.
Top 10 players of all-time
1.Mj
2. Kareem
3. LeBron
4. Shaq
5. Magic
6. Bird
7. Wilt
8. Hakeem Olajuwon
9. Tim Duncan
10. Kobe.
People can say what they want about Kobe but basketball is going to miss him once Kobe retires. Every player in the NBA will.
Could of done without that last guy.
fans are important. It's just that their opinion doesnt necessarily mean something substancial..
I think Kobe could've feasibly won MVP every year from 2002 to 2013 but gotta love that Nash nailed that 3 right as Doug Collins said Kobe is the best in the game. 8:34
The irony of the Sas/T Mac interview. Sas asks him what he would do if Kobe said let’s join forces and make a run. T Mac replies AFTER I WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP then MAYBE. Unfortunately he never did win, but he wanted to win one for himself before he would join anyone else. Just how it was back then.
Look at LeBron's eyes at 2:54.. dude is so high though
why are people so obsessed with ranking players lets just sit back and watch the greats Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Durrant, Melo, Rose, Dirk, these guys are all beasts
funny thing about T-mac interview was after "one championship" Artest actually is the one left to Laker
Yo T-mac was a beast, that injury destroyed his career. He was high flyer luke his cousin Vince Carter, but he also had a jumper.
You can't judge how good a player is on the number of championship teams they've been on.
Rip kobe
lmaoo @seckbach REppppoorrrtttinnggg!! good shit
I completely agree with the last guy
Im a huge laker fan and Kobe is my favorite player in the league but he is not better than jordan. He's close but kobe is not jordan. Lebron is overrated as fuck. He isn't even close to kobe or jordan. Sure kobe had shaq and they had a three peat but lebron had dwayne wade, chris bosh, ray allen, and the birdman. Lebron had all these people and still lost and now as many of you know, he is back in cleveland and he is recruting as many good players as he can. Lebron is a great player but i have no respect for him.
As time went on even Magic fans had to accept that Shaq made the right decision.
Kobe just signed a 3-year contract extension with the Lakers! Here's to at least 3 more years!
keep these videos coming...i feel like the NBA is going to start leaning more towards Lebron for the "best" player. I still feel like Kobe is the best and that is why these videos are interesting because his peers are giving their opinions.

I don't care how you spread that out, that's hard to match. And Lamar went 1-7 on the night. Why should he have passed more?
What about the clip when he said he was the best player in the world (when they were both Lakers)
There is only 1 Big guy / Little Guy combo that can compete with Kobe & Shaq. That was Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West. Wilt was getting 24 pts 24 rebounds, Jerry was scoring 27 PPG at the same time.
"Jelly bean" damn wish tmac would have team up ! Together would have been ASWOME
part 4: keep em' coming
@kinglbkiv What yr was the video that LBJ's comes out saying Kobe is the best? Cause the only video i've seen was in 09. Like i said i rather take Bird, West, Olajuwon, Barkley, Wade, n Magic's word over just MJ's
9× All-Defensive First Team (2000, 2003-2004, 2006-2011)
2× All-Defensive Second Team (2001-2002)
Also we must remember that had michael not retired the first time he would have undoubtedly reached 8 championships and then also when he retired the second time he was still at the top of his game, if the Bulls owners would have paid Phil, Jordan wouldn't have left he could have definetly won 9 maybe even 10. It'd be a stretch to say 11 but perhaps he could have reached Bill Russell. I hope my first comment posted
still lovin the intro
Jordan has said kobe is on his level and LeBron has said he's the best yet mj and lebron barely speak on each other their mutual connection is their love for kobe😮
I think comparing Kobe to Jordan is pointless until he wins 6 rings. If he wins 7, then all of us will be saying he is better. I'm a Kobe Fan, I'm enjoying the ride and watching history unfold.
Comments like this amuse me.
Kobe was a lot younger than Shaq, Kobe had to come in and show work ethic, and prove himself... I think it's SAFE to say he did.
who was the rookie point guard #40 he was owning at 4:18 is that mayo?
1. Michael Jordan
2. Kareem A. Jabbar
3. Magic Johnson
4. Wilt Chamberlain
5. Bill Russell
6. Kobe Bryant
7. Larry Bird
8. Tim Duncan
9. Shaquille Oneal
There is also a video flating around of the TNT staff, Gary Payton and Chris Webber saying who the best is, guess who they said?
@sonik485 Yes those people you mentioned did change the game of basketball. But many years after Kobe retires one day, then maybe people will also recognize him as one of the very GREATS. His work ethic, killer instinct, and will to win are some things that can't be taught though.
Huge Lakers fan here and huge Kobe fan as well. LeBron is the best in the league right now. Kobe is number two. Kobe was the best player in the league from 2001-2009. Now it's LeBron's turn. LeBron's been the best since 2010.
Elie Seckbach said my point
lebron brings power and d-wade brings speed.. and kobe bring the combination of em all..
Kobe is my favorite player no question he is the best in the game right now but the last guy doesn't know what he's talking about the NBA is a much more offensive friendly game. Teams used to go out there and basically tackle MJ there was no such thing as hand checking. And MJ was a defensive player of the year there hasn't be a guard to win that honor since him. Kobe still has time to prove he's equal to Jordan (Maybe someday better) but we can't say that now
HELL YEAH!
Kobe is better than jordan because in the 90s it was easier to score then and micheal couldn't shoot 3s to save his life because he shot about 30% from 3 and u look at kobe about 45% and kobe had 81 and micheal only had mid range and inside when kobe has It all but this doesn't mean that micheal completely sucked at 3s, he did make them when he needed to but he couldn't make a fadeaway double pump fake 3 like kobe can and kobe averaged more 40 and 50 more games than micheal. YOU DECIDE!!!!!
Omraj Kang you watch the game or just look at stats? Cause if you watch Kobe makes shots JORDAN NEVER ATTEMPTED
When Kobe scored 81 points he only came back from the 1st Q with 2 minutes left in the Second
@JayTheSex How soon do you think volume 4 will be? Just wondering cuz these series are real legit!
