Same here. Favorite era of NBa. That's crazy because i agree 100%. 1996 to about 2011. NBA was just watch tv every night. Now 2023, it's just ehh. Began to become ehh since around 2014-2015ish
Random question, are you in your mid to late 20s? I have a feeling a lot of people's favorites are a result of when they experienced something as a child.
Dunnie Genus ya hes solid now, but compare him to to 2004-2005 season with newjsersey he was averaging about 27.6 points a game and dominating players like kobe.
Wow, everything about this time was just way more fun to watch. The music, the announcers, the dibble moves, the intensity and the overall feel of the game was so much better in that time.
@@thomassantiago4936Plenty of accolades. You casuals think that rings are as easy as getting candy from a baby. Watch the garbage teams that he played for, learn how a front office is run and then talk about achievements. Kobe spent his first 10 years in the league, with more talented players that Vince played with in HIS ENTIRE CAREER. Its a team sport in case you didn't notice. Hall of famer for sure.
@@J.A.Z-TheMortalNBA has a hall of fame for babies. Vince's resume wouldn't sniff Cooperstown, no rings, no MVPs. All-Star scorers are in every era, HOF is for the champions, not the all-stars
Not just Vince but the Nets in general. JKidd was setting up KMart and RJ every game for years before Vince came to town. The most fun team in the NBA back then.
yeah in general. Real dunk ons hardly happen anymore in the league because the game changed to a more finesse style. Those guys back then focused a lot on jamming on people and shit. Now, its just about how well you can shoot threes unfortunately.
@@loverofhumanity Analytics started to be used. If you don't make three's you can't win. It's simple math. At the highest level of anything doing things efficiently is going to be emphasized.
@@mr.brenman2132 yeah i understand lol but it ruined the entertainment value of the game. That's really what im referring to. The only good thing is you no longer need to be super tall and super human if you can shoot out of this world. That's the only silver lining for the average joe imho.
+Brandon Van Please do a better job of trolling next time. The numbers clearly don't tell the whole story. Who else was kobe passing to that season or that game? Smush Parker? Luke Walton? Brian Cook? Slava Medvedenko?? Lamar odom 1-11 in that game? Please just stop. Kobe averaged 28, 6 and 6 that season like it was nothing on that garbage team. Do your homework next time.
***** lebron cant put up kobe numbers on the daily. you bandwagon jumper fans are so dumb. kobe used to get 50 a game like its nothing. lebron lucky to score 50 once in his career........
***** if being the greatest Dunker of all time doesn't mean shit then I wanna know what your reward was for being the greatest nut gurgler of all time lmao...
Shannon Bailey For an all time great Kobe had a ton of bad shooting nights more than anyone else. For an all time great, he never shot above 50% for a season. Matter of fact he never shot above 47% for a season. That's not good if you want to consider your self a TOP 10 player of all time. Also another record that Kobe owns. He holds the record for most missed shots in NBA History. Kobe is known to shot jack himself to raise his PPG average bro.
baldpnoy410 if Kobe didn't as you say shot jack to raise his PPG, would he still be the all time great Kobe? That's some new tho. I never heard Shaq or any of his teammates say that to tell you the truth.
Vince carter and Tracey Mcgraddy are my favorite players. I like the whole Clippers squad right now currently, I'm not the biggest Nba fan but they're entertaining! Kevin Durant is a beast too, but I dont like Lebron xD
It’s funny that guys will still say that nowadays because the defense in the NBA is nonexistent now but believe it or not defense was a big part of the game in the mid 2000’s. Do some research, watch some film and you’d understand. Early to Mid 2000’s defense was some of the tightest defense played throughout nba history.
Another fact to consider when talking about Kobes legacy. You had Donahue the ref that got arrested for fixing the Sacramento/ Lakers series. The Lakers stole 2 championships because of crooked ass Stern, Crawford and Donahue.
I remember being so pissed at Vince because he only scored 9 pts or something like that while Kobe torched him for 46. Vince is my favorite player so I was a little irritated. Lol
rowejam072000 you think his shot selection was shit in reality he practiced all those,... and now makes those shots you call bad selections as a normal
during their prime, I can say they're all equal. Tmac and VC lost their minutes bcos of injuries and moving to a different teams and not becoming the franchise's players. Kobe, meanwhile stayed with LA and remained the franchise's player so he still his minutes even if he's been throwing bricks.
rayleigh8 not really, because he’s a career 45% shooter I believe. But when you were playing with bums like he was in these highlights then yeah you’re gonna get your shots up.
LOL, Kidd had 35, 8 boards and 12 assists and no one gave a shit. J-Kidd was always the man.
EGarrett01 i saw those numbers, and then i saw kobes FG/FGA at 14-36
then i thought.... russell westbrook
Alexander Patrick you not funny
maurice yarbrough i wasn't joking
@@AP-ok9rs when you dont have good teammates thats what happens
well no they did write his stats over Vince.
Kidd gets 35pts, 12 ast, 8 reb, and still doesn't even get mentioned lmao..
Denny Hamlin Fan also cause nobody cared and still doesn't
Denny Hamlin Fan no one ever thought that lol
Y each he did. You don't listen.
Facts I don't understand bro how come Kobe terrible FG% ain't being criticized
@Brandon Ohara Kobe terrible shot selections helped the Lakers lose
This will forever be my favorite era for basketball. From that 1996 draft class up to 2009 or at the latest the 2011 finals.

vince was a beast in newjersey and toronto. his first season in newjersey he averaged 27 points
he was pretty solid in orlando too. even now, he puts up respectable numbers
Dunnie Genus ya hes solid now, but compare him to to 2004-2005 season with newjsersey he was averaging about 27.6 points a game and dominating players like kobe.
johnny montana he is coming off the bench tho now so he doesnt get to play starters minutes, but when given the chance he still produces.
He did have one of the greatest assist and overall point guards Ever
Kenyon Martin was better
Wow, everything about this time was just way more fun to watch. The music, the announcers, the dibble moves, the intensity and the overall feel of the game was so much better in that time.
Basketball and life was just more real
Yeah this is real basketball, when the RUclips videos were at most 480p.
Yeah today's NBA is a joke with clown players..
nah
Despite everything, I agree with you. Modern American professional basketball feels fake, with a few exceptions.
Vince Carter rules. An NBA legend and a first ballot lock down in the Hall of Fame.
First ballot? No bro look at his achievements 🤣

He first ballot 😂
Rip Kobe he always made players give them there all on the court, almost beautiful
Almost??..It IS!!
Vince Carter is thee GREATEST dunker EVER!
THUG LIFE Mr. Wilkins would like to have a word with you....
Vince carter is way better than Wilkins at dunking it's not even a comparison every one knows vince is the best dunker
MrYodi2007 vince carter dunks has more style than wilkins
+MrYodi2007 carter pretty much ended some guys chance of ever getting into the nba
That Net's team was really good back then nobody talks about them when they mention great teams of the early 2000s
Ill never forget this iconic moment of vince N kobe going at it
I love how if that ally oop happened today ESPN would lose there shit but back then wen vince was prime it was just regular
Not just Vince but the Nets in general. JKidd was setting up KMart and RJ every game for years before Vince came to town. The most fun team in the NBA back then.

Due the rule changes this happened @@mr.brenman2132
Damn!! Kidd had 35pts, 12ast, and 8 reb. That's sick for a point guard.
what's worse is that Jason Kidd could do that any given night.
JSwanKilowJ what's worse is, he did
Kurt Gembolis I know! Jason Kidd is the triple double machine
Kurt Gembolis whats worse is magic johnson used to do that all the time...if rondo was a scorer like kidd he would be a beastan
Jason kidd
I saw nothing but excellent defense from Kobe.
Lmao he was ripping Vince
@@TheRafaelBond That's how defense used to be played.
and his raping abilities in Denver
RIP Kobe and Uncle Cliff
It's nice to see this some players that passed away and some when they much younger rest in peace Kobe and cliff 🙏🏽👏🏾😎
Both Vince and Kobe would’ve been tossed if that happened in today’s league
Kobe scored 46 but on 14/36 shooting....terrible. Meanwhile, K-Kidd dropping 35 pts, 8 rbs, and 12 asts like it's nothing.
***** compare the two's careers and see who plays the game , " like its nothing" lmao stfu
Tony Young Kobe hater detected.
+Brandon Van Story of Kobe's Career. He's never been an efficient scorer.
+Brandon Van Please do a better job of trolling next time. The numbers clearly don't tell the whole story. Who else was kobe passing to that season or that game? Smush Parker? Luke Walton? Brian Cook? Slava Medvedenko?? Lamar odom 1-11 in that game? Please just stop. Kobe averaged 28, 6 and 6 that season like it was nothing on that garbage team. Do your homework next time.
Brandon Van lol look at your profile, you kiss a Tim Duncan poster before you go to bed.
That VC trade to NJ OMG...... I LOVE IT at least I got to see him live in action... I miss the NJ Nets my home team
Jesus Christ.....Kidd: 35, 12, and 8
Mr. Triple-Double
*****
lebron cant put up kobe numbers on the daily. you bandwagon jumper fans are so dumb. kobe used to get 50 a game like its nothing. lebron lucky to score 50 once in his career........
I think he was referencing J. Kidd & not Kobe
thisguy177 dumbass
Yea and Kobe 14-36 FG
This fight will always help me cry.
This was Sportscenter at its peak.
but kobe came clutch as hell 8 points in final 30 seconds
Kobe can shoot in anyone's face, stone cold.
Stumbled upon this…what a time lol
That stat line for Kidd was straight bonkers #ijs
Kobe has acknowledged VC as the greatest dunker ever.
zach lavine is gonna be better. and dont sleep on blake griffin either.
Zach Lebron James is a pretty unbelievable dunker and he gets up so high and has heaps of power. Stop hating
***** if being the greatest Dunker of all time doesn't mean shit then I wanna know what your reward was for being the greatest nut gurgler of all time lmao...
VC is so overrated with dunking and yeah Zach Lavine will surpass him
5 years later, Zach is stilk shit, BG32 is now point forward, lol nowhere to close to VC prime.
The best part Lamar one of eleven for the field.
14-36 is great shooting for Kobe.
Back to Lamar before one of 'those haters' commented.
1 for 11.
Jonathan Morales lol
That's vintage Kobe right there... 14-36 to score 46 points while shoots his team out of a win.
he didn't have help back then beside Lamar
Shannon Bailey Yea he didn't have help so feel free to pad your stats... Exactly what he did the 2 years the Lakers were'nt any good.
baldpnoy410 what would you do? Everybody have bad shooting nights bro. Kobe was a winner. It hurt him so bad to lose.

what are u doing were offensive players we dont guard , we just watch xD lamo
kb is a bad ass best b ball player ever!!!!👑
RIP KOBE TRUE LEGEND
true rapist
I remember this, mann
This game was played on November 27th 2005 🔥
Vince Carter 💪💪
Both are legends..
Damn kobe 14-36 FG that's how you know his team was garbage, so he just chucked up shots. He was pretty damn clutch too!!!
Basketball was beautiful back when
Kidds numbers were huge
its like people forgot how much of a GREAT this guy was......
Sheesh. That was good fucking defense. Jordan's godchild
Exactly!
Old SC highlights in the algorithm
👑👑 US ARMY HD
RIP Cliff and Kobe
wow 9 years ago, kobe was young. he's a grandpa today
Incredible alley oop pass from Kidd
carter finished wit 12 pts....
Knightmare Mystery still got the w bitch
Actually he got 42 points in this game. The dunk was counted as 30 points
Well Kidd got 35 sooo....
That carry at the end of the video
Rip kobe rip cliff Robinson
Man Kobe was so fucking good
Kidd's stat line tho
kobe was alone in that lakers team...it was fucking horrible
1-MJ
2-KOBE
That's it.
Nba haters be like: 14/36 is garbage Kobe Bryant sucks. Meanwhile their NBA careers be like: ...........
and your NBA career? he shot under 50%...that's not efficient
Hornets fan since 2006 Look at his teammates that time? its obvious bro that he carry his team.
Operation Back2Back ineffiency is under 45% dickhead
Feel The Heat you don’t need efficiency to win rings but you couldn’t play at the local YMCA
McStrokeAvision DAYUMMM
Vince carter and Tracey Mcgraddy are my favorite players. I like the whole Clippers squad right now currently, I'm not the biggest Nba fan but they're entertaining!
Kevin Durant is a beast too, but I dont like Lebron xD
Still feel this way?
Who's here because Kobe just died and also a fan of VC?
Kobe is the Best! RIP sir!
RIP Cliff Robinson. Gone too soon.
This fight helps me cry anytime when i’m so angry at Bubbles from Powerpuff Girls.
CrazyVinsanity you have the full game for this :)
I went to this game, good times👍
No u didnt...😁😁😁
And how do you know?
Kid was that guy back then.
Both in their primes fighting 😀
Goddamn Kidd loves rebounding the ball at just 6'4. .....and no one gave a shit what the hell.
Anyone suprising about Kobe's 46? No matter which basketball player, anyone should score 46+ points with 36 attembts
Not Rudy Gay haha
gman dog6 whawhawhatttt? 14 for 36 has never made over 50 bro that s 38 % and that s a terrible fg %
LOL. Math is hard for Kobetards.
alparslan12345 butthurt after scoring 60+ on your favorite team? Lol

When players actually played defense great games in those times
Good times good times
Rip kobe and cliff Robinson
hey dude you have the fully game for this ? can you please help me :) thanks
Damn look at Kidd's stat line
Lool mentions how he took about 40 shots then still sounds impressed about Kobe's 40 points.
Vince all the way ma brotha...
Cliff Robinson? goodness how old is this footage lol
Another fact to consider when talking about Kobes legacy. You had Donahue the ref that got arrested for fixing the Sacramento/ Lakers series. The Lakers stole 2 championships because of crooked ass Stern, Crawford and Donahue.
true
Just like the patriots Beating the Seahawks at the super bowl after doing that deflation with the football incident
RIP Kobe Rip Cliff Robinson
Brian cooks career highlight
Jason kidd number is like luca doncic today
I remember being so pissed at Vince because he only scored 9 pts or something like that while Kobe torched him for 46. Vince is my favorite player so I was a little irritated. Lol
Well Kidd had 35, Kobe was the only Laker who knew how to score back then, and making a bunch of desperation 3's isn't really torching anyone.
@@mig50cc What was the point in commenting? The man had 46 points. That means he was torching them. How could anyone think of it any differently? 🤔
that moment when kobe fans say he's the goat but forget about kareem
Kobe is the goat.
+lifetimeskater24 No he's not
+lifetimeskater24 No he's not
Rip cliff Roberson
i wouldnt call it a foul but i still enjoyed the video
uncle cliffy. god, i havent heard that in a while.
i'm cool when NBA people fight so i'm just chillin
Half Man, Half Season
That ref though. He just be staring them down.
Why is vince so angry? That's good defense basketball. Especially at that era, thosd kind of physicality is normal.
kobe look like he was trying to apologize lol
First thing I thought about after Kobe's death. RIP
RIP mamba
Brian Cook 00:50 Lincoln Illinois boy!
Brian cook underrated
Vince with 24pts, 40FG%, Kobe with 24pts, 34FG% in that game and Vince with the "W"
Kobe had 46points on 40%
now ggf
I wish Kobe was efficient from the field like Lebron & MJ but hey that's how the ball bounce
His shot selection was shit. He could have been way more efficient if he chose to.
rowejam072000 you think his shot selection was shit in reality he practiced all those,... and now makes those shots you call bad selections as a normal
during their prime, I can say they're all equal. Tmac and VC lost their minutes bcos of injuries and moving to a different teams and not becoming the franchise's players. Kobe, meanwhile stayed with LA and remained the franchise's player so he still his minutes even if he's been throwing bricks.
So clutch though...
jeez kobe scored 39 pts in the 2nd half only, and kidds stats and this was just a normal thing back then.
No one talking about Robinson 😔
In the meanwhile, Jason Collins is sitting his ass off on the bench thinking: "How can I become famous? Clearly, basketball isn't the way..."
Cliff robinson Rip
Without Kobe that lakers roster might be the worst roster of players in nba history.
Lol kobe was so happy it was going into OT
Kobe had lost a lot of respect by his peers after the scandal
Just hard competition. They were still best friends off the court
14 of 36.. Typical kobe shooting
rayleigh8 not really, because he’s a career 45% shooter I believe. But when you were playing with bums like he was in these highlights then yeah you’re gonna get your shots up.
rayleigh8 oh. he got 5 rings he was doing something right
He got 41 tho
There both gods
true dat brother. vince was a beast no doubt but Kobe? he was a god "in basketball"
only dude i can think of nearly as good as Kobe is MJ really.
