@@dr.boolin8296 And KD didn't have the coach Kobe did experience wise. Phil was himself a 2x champion and had already won 6x as a coach before becoming Kobe's coach, correct? Ok then.
@@dr.boolin8296 nah let’s not act like Kobe didn’t have a great team when he won, he definitely didn’t have a fraction of the team KD did when he requested a trade but let’s not act like he didn’t have a great team in his championship years
some of them did... but most really didn't. I was always a fan of kobe since i started watching the NBA. But I started watching in 2008, the year he made the finals vs boston. I heard all the talk about him at the time and everywhere, especially since i lived in boston. People trashed him everywhere. I watched that finals and thought "damn the celtics are a great team. But that man kobe is different". And instantly picked them to win the chip next year. Then he got it done... TWICE. He was my GOAT since I started watching, but I honestly wonder how the world would view him if he didn't win back to back.
Kobe asked to be traded from Smush Parker. KD asked to be traded from his best friend and top 5 (at worst) PG in the league, coach he selected, and entire team he selected. No, the 2 requests are nowhere close to the same thing.
Kobe had a shitty team that without him would be the worst in the league. KD has a team if Irving plays even without KD will still make the playoffs at least or the play in. Two different scenarios i agree.
@@tristantyree2191 Ben Simmons should have never played a minute at PG. He is a SF or PF that can handle the ball and that's how he should have been used. Stop putting him at the 3 point line and toss it in at the elbow.
Finally!! That '07 season was masterpiece with just odom and fisher while bynum was injured and Gasol just came. They had Turiaf and Radmanović starting for godsakes. Also thank God '09 Magic has been given props. That team was beast and had the Best Center of that time hands down plus outside shooting from Hedo and Lewis.
Durant is gonna averaged 29 like he always does and lose to the bucks or Celtics in the second round or conference finals . Kd is a elite player he just Always lose to the champions are the team that goes to the finals
that was an excellent clip you added in at the beginning (2:44).. the legendary ESPN set & theme. You the man Swish, you always find a new video concept & you're video/editing is on point. When it comes to basketball you're absolutely my favorite. Keep grinding bro, you talented.
Great video man really well researched. People don't know kobe best 11 50 plus win teams in the playoffs from 2008-2010 which is more than magics whole career and lebron played in 11 years. They dont know the difficulty that kobe had to face.
That I will agree. The issue is the accountability isn't the only problem the nets have. They have a below average coach. They had two starters injured (Harris and simmons) they also had two new guys in the rotation (Seth and Drummond). They only had 20 games as a unit. Good luck winning a chip like that. Most teams need everything to be perfect or even get a lucky break to win a chip.
you act like he bryant was the the owner, gm , head of basketball operations, Star player head coach, and dinner lady. calm down. he wasn't the only reason the lakers improved
@@Christopher._M My man didnt watch the video. Pao and Ariza were new playing 27 and 40 something games to the team and a lot harder to intigrate to the offense as they played the starters role. Ariza and bynum were also dealing injuries with bynum being out all of the playoffs. Yet, Kobe reached the finals and gave celtics (A Kd-type warriors of a team) a 6 game series.
man i do remember that as a Lakers fan. We always blamed the losses on Kobe being a ballhog and that he was a wannabe MJ. That Western Conference was fucking stacked as well so being able to go to the finals with that team was very unexpected considering gasol just joined them and had instant results
Kobe was *CARRYING* for into the playoffs for years while playing 50 win teams all regular season and being first team all defense KD has *ALWAYS* had a squad
KD had a team with the WORST spacing ever and one of the lowest IQ PGs the league has ever seen in OKC. KD had a squad in GS and has one in BK. His team was ok in OKC.
@@dylanhotrum7354 you weren’t watching the NBA at the time or you just see what the rosters were and assume he had it easy lol most of his time in OKC his squad was dealing with injuries including his costar
Its still crazy that those 04 - 07 Lakers still made playoffs(except the year Kobe was hurt) with the players they had and they were in the super competitive West too. Kobe was straight up soloing the league.
Let’s not overlook the signing of Derek Fisher in 2007. He brought the veteran leadership and clutch shooting that was previously lacking with Smush Parker in the starting lineup.
I've been talking about this trade request since Kevin Durant made the request. I've been telling everyone Kevin Durant wasn't going nowhere he signed for four years. Just like when Kobe made his trade request he has I believe like 3 years left on his contract. The Lakers did the samething the Nets did we talk to teams but, we want a shit load back for you because we really don't wanna trade you. That is why I say this is gonna be one of Kevin Durant best seasons this year
KD couldn't be traded to a better team than the Nets and nobody wanted to give up everything for a player that might ask for a trade request 3 months into the regular season when it doesn't go well. People can make fun of this team all they want but KD, Kyrie and Simmons focused on playing basketball is scary. Obvious big IF.
Yo this was an excellent video my guy. Like people really sleep on the teams Kobe had to play in the west. Kobe literally played some of the most efficient defensive teams in the playoffs to win and people sleep over that, I’m happy you brought that up. Excellent video man
Perfect video on what the true climate was like for Kobe during that period. It was a tremendous run, also worth mentioning specifically was that 2010 finals series where the Celtics had the Lakers on the ropes at 3-2 and manage to climb out of a hole and win that against a prime Celtics team that looked more than their match for most of the series.
I remember the day I became a fan of the mamba. It was December of 96 and I was 9, a Jordan fan bc he was basically the NBA back then. My pops was telling me "man that boy bad" while the bulls and Lakers were playing. I watched dude come off the bench and drop 30 or 31 pts on my idol 😂. I followed his entire career. I became a man while cheering him on. I use mamba mentality to help me get through the daily grind of work and family obligations. I truly thank this man for his dedication to being great. It inspired me to live my life the same. Rest in paradise my brotha. I wish I could have met him to tell him this.
Good luck theres alot of research out there and u can find most of the nba finals on yt so check out some older games and enjoy alot of guys left it all out on court only person i really see doing that in todays game is giannis.
I was just thinking about the trade that kobe requested In 07 and almost similar and kobe didn't have a single all star and kd has 2 all star plus the narrative for both of them is legitimate kd can't win without steph and the warriors and kobe couldn't win without shaq which he managed to repeat in a tough western conference mean while there only like 5 teams in the east nets bucks 76ers celtics and heat I love kd game but he has to step up as a leader having kyrie missing almost the entire year without injury and ben Simmons just missed the entire year with some of the weirdest injury you think kobe would have dealt with that without saying something no kobe would have gotten In kyrie and ben Simmons face there are multiple interviews when kobe gotten on his teamate kd has to hold his teamate accountable he has the win a championship or this narrative is going to follow him forever and kd he has the win championship bro as the man
you forgot the Celtics who just made it out of the East. and the Eastern conference is pretty stacked if you look at the spots competing for the play-in.
I like how people are talking about the Celtics and that they made the finals, but aren’t mentioning the fact they’re literally the team that swept Kevin
Whoever says Kobe ain’t top 2/3 or Kobe and MJ have no comparison, they should watch this. Kobe did things no one could possibly do in his situation. Man was a beast
Man that ad transition was so bad lol but great information in the video none the less and damn I never thought the similarities thank you for this swish
The facts get lost in the narratives because narratives are remembered in history more than facts. Excellent vid bro. Very educational Edit: yes I’m high rn
People gloss over how Kobe wanted Shaq out of there. Then when things went south he betrayed Dr Buss by snitching on private conversations they had regarding getting rid of Shaq. That man believed in him and flew him back and forth from the Colorado trial on private jets. That's how he repayed Dr Buss. "I'd rather play on Pluto."
people gloss over the fact that the lakers chose kobe over shaq....pretty telling in itself. also gloss over the fact he saw more success than shaq when they were without each other.
Playing with Smush Parker and Chris Mihm in my starting 5 shit I’d rather play somewhere further than Pluto. It’s called putting pressure on your organization to get their act right and make a team that can contend. What happened after he did that? Explain since you like to hate
@sk no he didnt…Kobe was the better player since 01. Shaq had 3 50pt games his entire career…Kobe had 5 50 pt games while playing w Shaq. Kobe avgd 30ppg while playing w Shaq…Shaq nvr avgd 30ppg his entire career, for anyteam, at any point. Kobe made 2 all defensive first teams while playing w Shaq, Shaq nvr made an all defensive first team his entire career…. Kobe led LAL in steals and assist the entire time he played w Shaq and was the most versatile scorer while being the clearcut best defender and most athletic player on the team. He was the better performer against the better competition…Shaq failed to look dominant against viable defensive centers. Duncan and both Wallace’s famously neutralized him…even Vlade gave him work early on. Kobe was the best player on that team when they player the best competition. Look up Shaq and Kobe’s numbers against the better competition on the western conference…Kobe was always better. Shaq’s finals number were always as a result of a terribly weak matchup…
Kobe Bryant is the best to ever do it. Jordan is the GOAT. Kevin Durant and Curry are the best we've seen since those guys but can't say they are on their level. Kobe Bryant was just unreal. He won 5 championships with only one other star on the team and did things on both ends of the court that were absolutely incredible. People forget about the problems Kobe caused other teams as well with things that don't show in the statistics. That top tier of players featuring Kobe, Magic, Stockton, Jordan, Bird, Wilt, Kareem, Olajuwon, Thomas, Russell, Shaq...Unreal.
@@keywill1728 lol LeBron isn't even in the conversation. He's needed steroids and super teams and even then struggled to win 4 rings and two of them are fraudulent just like he is. He's been swept from the finals twice...doesn't even make them playoffs with his super team on the greatest organization in sports history. He's had the NBA and it's refs and announcers supporting and hyping him up since day one. He bounced on his hometown team twice desperately chasing rings. He lost Gold for the United States in the Olympics...it was Kobe who had to come and lead the team to Gold. LeBron promised the NBA and it's fans that he would compete in the dunk contest and then didn't. LeBron James has near identical career averages and championships as Larry Bird...the difference between LeBron and Larry? LeBron did it with steroids and super teams and it took him almost two decades...Larry did it in 9 years as an unathletic white guy with a bad back and with the team he had to work with. The list goes on and on...the chosen Bum will have his records wiped in the end because of the cheating and no one who truly understands NBA basketball has him even close to the greats.
@@benjaminan1183 there's no way...Giannis is just getting started. D Wade is not on Durant's level not even close and Durant isn't finished yet. Like I said Giannis is just getting started but has a lot of potential especially since going the steroid route...
I love how you tried to downplay Shaq like he was just another star playing with Kobe. Kobe was a star on SHAQ'S team, not the other way around. Too many Kobe stans are trying to rewrite history and act like Kobe was the franchise player on those teams.
I’m a huge KD fan and I’m glad he’s staying but the fact that he had the nerve to request a trade after all the front office has done for him is ridiculous and I hope he doesn’t give up on this team again and leads the Nets to a championship
that's why Jokic is so unique, when his numbers go up, it means he helps his team more, every other star needs their numbers to go down a bit for their team to be near the top seeds...
@@wassicapone6623 And you'd be delusional to think Shaq would've won those championships without Kobe. Kobe saved the Lakers when they were down in the WCF.
Kobe was special. One of a kind. It'll be hard for KD to do what Kobe did considering he'll have to beat one or all of the Bucks, Celtics & Sixers to get to the Finals. Honestly Ben Simmons is the X factor that will make the biggest difference for the Nets
The biggest difference is the Lakers tried to trade Kobe, but he vetoed the trade. KD requested the trade after the Nets refused to pay Kyrie. Stop pretending he just randomly requested a trade for no reason. That reason is THE only reason KD is a Net to being with. Playing with Kyrie, and the fact that they were trying to trade Kyrie, he was like I'm out

Kobe made 2 all defensive first teams while playing w Shaq, Shaq nvr made an all defensive first team his entire career….
Kobe led LAL in steals and assist the entire time he played w Shaq and was the most versatile scorer while being the clearcut best defender and most athletic player on the team. He was the better performer against the better competition…Shaq failed to look dominant against viable defensive centers. Duncan and both Wallace’s famously neutralized him…even Vlade gave him work early on.
Kobe was the best player on that team when they player the best competition. Look up Shaq and Kobe’s numbers against the better competition on the western conference…Kobe was always better. Shaq’s finals number were always as a result of a terribly weak matchup…
@sk and ended up winning more than Shaq…..seems like Kobe was the better player.
Lebron and curry laughing rn with 4 championships. Kd revenge season with brooklyn bring it on🙌
Another fantastic video, Swishout!! I hope you are doing well ^__^
Kobe Bryant is the best to ever do it. Jordan is the GOAT. Kevin Durant and Curry are the best we've seen since those guys but can't say they are on their level. Kobe Bryant was just unreal. He won 5 championships with only one other star on the team and did things on both ends of the court that were absolutely incredible. People forget about the problems Kobe caused other teams as well with things that don't show in the statistics. That top tier of players featuring Kobe, Magic, Stockton, Jordan, Bird, Wilt, Kareem, Olajuwon, Thomas, Russell, Shaq...Unreal.
Lebron better than all of them
@@keywill1728 lol LeBron isn't even in the conversation. He's needed steroids and super teams and even then struggled to win 4 rings and two of them are fraudulent just like he is. He's been swept from the finals twice...doesn't even make them playoffs with his super team on the greatest organization in sports history. He's had the NBA and it's refs and announcers supporting and hyping him up since day one. He bounced on his hometown team twice desperately chasing rings. He lost Gold for the United States in the Olympics...it was Kobe who had to come and lead the team to Gold. LeBron promised the NBA and it's fans that he would compete in the dunk contest and then didn't. LeBron James has near identical career averages and championships as Larry Bird...the difference between LeBron and Larry? LeBron did it with steroids and super teams and it took him almost two decades...Larry did it in 9 years as an unathletic white guy with a bad back and with the team he had to work with. The list goes on and on...the chosen Bum will have his records wiped in the end because of the cheating and no one who truly understands NBA basketball has him even close to the greats.
Giannis and Wade are/were better than Steph & KD.
@@benjaminan1183 there's no way...Giannis is just getting started. D Wade is not on Durant's level not even close and Durant isn't finished yet. Like I said Giannis is just getting started but has a lot of potential especially since going the steroid route...
I love how you tried to downplay Shaq like he was just another star playing with Kobe. Kobe was a star on SHAQ'S team, not the other way around. Too many Kobe stans are trying to rewrite history and act like Kobe was the franchise player on those teams.
Appreciate the Cole beats 🔥
Bruh I been waiting..you don't post as often as u used to. We content fiends
Bro had ronny turiaf in a match up where they were facing yao💀💀 that right there tells u all you need to know about kobes situation my god
Lmao Turiaf had hustle at least, dude was intense.. but bro did not have the skills to match. Poor Kobe.
I’m a huge KD fan and I’m glad he’s staying but the fact that he had the nerve to request a trade after all the front office has done for him is ridiculous and I hope he doesn’t give up on this team again and leads the Nets to a championship
Too bad he won’t. 2021 was the year to do it. They blew game 3 against the bucks. Cost them a ring.
history shall repeat itself.... rip kobe
This was VERY interesting. Lets see how it goes out and come back to this video. 😁
Those 2009 Lakers team was loaded and big :Bynum, Odom, Pau, Ron Artest + Kobe and Phil Jackson.....Great squad
10:40 omfg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Greet video bro !!
that's why Jokic is so unique, when his numbers go up, it means he helps his team more, every other star needs their numbers to go down a bit for their team to be near the top seeds...
JOKIC went to the bench the entire 2nd quarter and his team lost that 2nd quarter 43 -21...
He came back and they won the game.
KD always had a squad and won less titles. Kobe won more titles with less talent and was mentally stronger.
Kobe had Shaq for his 1st 3 rings and then he couldn’t win the other 2 without Pau Gasol,Ron Artest and Derek Fishers help lol
@@wassicapone6623 And you'd be delusional to think Shaq would've won those championships without Kobe. Kobe saved the Lakers when they were down in the WCF.
@@wassicapone6623 KD only won with a super team though
@@CXY96 I never said shaq would’ve won without Kobe but he got all 3 final mvps for a reason lol
@@starsportscardshobbiesandm7222 Kobe played on 2 super teams that didn’t work out lol
love this video 📸
Kobe was special. One of a kind. It'll be hard for KD to do what Kobe did considering he'll have to beat one or all of the Bucks, Celtics & Sixers to get to the Finals. Honestly Ben Simmons is the X factor that will make the biggest difference for the Nets
i feel like steph & kobes careers more relative than kd & kobes but another banger from the 🐐 swishout🔥🔥
The biggest difference is the Lakers tried to trade Kobe, but he vetoed the trade.
KD requested the trade after the Nets refused to pay Kyrie. Stop pretending he just randomly requested a trade for no reason. That reason is THE only reason KD is a Net to being with. Playing with Kyrie, and the fact that they were trying to trade Kyrie, he was like I'm out
They tried trading Kobe to Cleveland for Lebron straight up, but Cleveland passed.
