Crazy physical game you can tell both teams were sluggish yet putting everything they had into it.. like KG, Pierce,Kobe, and Gasol knew it was their last shot at it
Kobe did all the small things that game, he was off shooting but he had double digit rebounds that game. Pau was so big will never forget his crazy almost fade away shot over 3 defenders
Kobe got this done, ring #5, despite having multiple injured fingers on his shooting hand, a knee that required surgery in the offseason, loose bone in his foot, no other Top 75 players on the roster, and on a repeat championship season in his year 14! He is easily Top 3-5 ever.
Fam I don’t think you understand how deadly this mf Kobe was, we talkin bout the most resilient Son of bitch in nba history 😂, this man was so dedicated that if he couldn’t walk that was the only time he was not playing. I watched this man break his finger and come back to the win the game…… im sorry but Kobe was not human at all I think that mf was secretly a robot 😂🫶
Game 7 was Kobe's full circle moment. After shaq left he was not trusting of teammates. The fact that he had to rely on his teammates in that last game showed his growth and maturity. He's always had the skill and ability. Trust was what he lacked as a player. The evolution of this 13th overall draft pick who was traded is remarkable. Zero expectations.
I wouldn't say there were zero expectations. I recall a lot of hype surrounding Kobe when he entered the league. He just fell because he came right out of high school instead of going to college first.
You give anybody Smush Parker and Kwame Brown, they gon have trust issues. Number 1: Smush think he the next AI trying to cross people over and shooting shots like he don't give af, with something like a 27% fg% Number 2: You got Kwame Brown who got shouted by MJ in Bobcats when MJ drafted him #1 that played like he the 22nd draft in the second round. Then have hands smaller than a guard playing center and can't catch a damn pass/fumbles it in the post a lot. Only reason Kobe got his confidence to trust again was when Fish came back from Jazz and Odom idolizing Kobe and playing with Kobe like he the big brother. Those were Kobe's true friends backing him up whenever things don't go well, and played their heart out everytime they step on the court.
@@YungGroveBossit’s diff Kobe was drawing the defense too and playing Crazy defense ! Ray Allen was 4-15 , Pierce was 5-16 lol kg shot trash too . Kobe was 6-22 ? Or some shit but that game nobody shot well the refs allowed hand checking , go back and watch ray allen hold Kobe all game by his waist and refs allowed it it was a dog game
Yea as a life long laker fan since 87. That revenge vs boston in that series is my favorite moment of all time because we were not supposed to win that series and was down 3-2 but kobe got his teammates to believe and in that game 7 kobe struggled but he leaned on his teammates that game and we won. Its was honestly my favorite title run as a laker fan. And ive seen all the titles since 87. RIP jellybean

Again, people can hate on kobe. All they want this man win back to back without any superstar like dwade an bosh the same team who got old lebron had to go to miami so he could beat a old celtics u people need to sto hating and state facts he did not have no superstar team mate
Hell no. You guys need to stop regurgitating this sorry take. Y’all forget the Celtics had Rasheed Wallace who was popping 3s like a modern stretch four and played way bigger minutes than Perkins ever could in that series. Stop making excuses
Kobe if he lost this series he be label as a choker and that's crazy to say but people will point out how he looks many horrible shots and even hit the backboard in some of those shots but he won and crazy game by pau that series made me a pau gasol fan
Where's the difference It's not just a game and trophy getting to come It's mentality is totally different It's not just another game like the cry baby likes to say get out of LA I'm back on the team to support the LA Lakers again I got off when he came and sell out You know who I'm talking about
This is a true 2nd to goat..beating 4 all-stars players in a team..just Kobe and gasul..and win a championship..flapBron needs. All star team to be a championship team
It was the best series that I've watched. It was one of those competitive peaks that rarely can be seen. It wasn't certain right until the last minute of game 7.
Kobe did what Lebron couldn’t! He beat the big 3 plus Rondo Celtics! I dont know how this man ain’t given more flowers for what he has done for the game 🏀
That's tough talk kobe....RIP bro.....I'm so sorry u had baby girl with u....I know as a man and a father of a beautiful girl half spanish and black also..I wouldn't wish that moment that u had on anyone....blessings to your fam big dog....one of the greats
Kobe had Fisher, Gasol, Artest and Bynum and managed to beat the Celtics in 7 games. Then why was LeBron criticized for losing that season to the Celtics in 6 games when it was clearly 1 vs 5?
I Would Rather Play On Kobe's Team, Rather Than Lebron.... All I Would Do, Is Keep Passing Kobe The Ball, And Play Scottie Pippen Dennis Rodman Type Of Defense!!!! Rebounding My Ass Off.... Shut Your Mouth And Know Your Role....
That was a great series comeback for Kobe and absolutely a great performance Single handed basically prevented them having 19 banners instead of 18. If Kendrick Perkins was healthy would’ve could’ve should’ve go Tatum Brown Prozingizs Prichard ☘️ 🏀 ☘️
If kg wasn't injured all year and some how became an old man over night after 08 winning the chip and Kendrick Perkins getting injured no way lakers win...Kobe got so lucky..... then the fact celtics got old over night and the weak ass east gave him Orlando magic to whoop he doesn't win the 2 without shaq...I love kobe and respect him so much more after he died due to the fact he was the last from the great era, but he got very lucky those 2 chips....the celtics should've been a dynasty but the coach was doc rivers who SUCKS!!!! JUST LOOK AT HIS TRAXK RECORD.....HE MIGHT BE THE WORST COACH EVER!!!!.... Kobe had Mike's coach and that alone made him feel like jordan.... look at his seasons when Phil retired.... team was horrible.... Kobe begged to be traded.... Jackson came back and they trade shaq for odam and got pao and he was the difference maker.... Kobe always shot his team out the game. Gasol was the reason he won..... great team ate and great leader... Kobe tried way to hard to be mike that not only did his teammates hate him they didn't respect him at all..... after jordan retired the nba was suffering.... they needed a dynasty so bad the rigged the playoffs for lakers! Been proven.... funny when jordan was playing shaq and kobe were getting swept and their asses whooped by Karl malone... then jordan leaves, kobe is the young guy with shaq and Phil and even though shaq sucked and was always overrated even with amazing teams he couldn't win..... those magic teams he was on were amazing.... penny Hardaway was so much better than kobe till his injury a d shaq knew it ... penny was the reason Orlando was as great as they were... they made shaq the star and penny Robin so they get swept to Houston, then swept against bulls..... shaq is the 2nd best at being swept behind laflop..... and of course kobe will give u 30 points.... cause he will shoot 40xs a game..... live shaq pretending he loves kobe now that he passed away..... he's so fckn fake cause he hated Bryant from day 1 till the day he died..... and Bryant will NEVER BE IN GOAT CONVERSION cause he is a jordan puppet.. walked talked and dressed like dude.... talked lime mj...... had 0 respect for mike.... changed his number 1 over jordan, 23, 24..... tried over doing mike during his last all star game and wanted it so bad he took every shot and didn't care about winning. Dropping 50 an mj as a wizard knowing he was old and injured and wanted to make 40nyear old mike look bad... cause he as a 20 year old couldn't make mike look bad as a 36 year old....... fuck kobe
Kobes 6-24 game 4th quarter 8 points 2-4 4-4 ft 8 rebounds (15 TOTAL) 4th quarter+/- +8 Overall +/- game 7 0 Defensively kobe disrupted the celtics offense by shutting down rondos IQ/passing, what kept the celtics that game was not the flow off the offense but pure star power everyone struggled that kept them in the game, it was a disgusting defensive game.. in my mind at that time i was always thinking how are they going to do it how are they going to get over the hump down 15 and theh somehow did it greatest finals i ever saw up there with jordans last finals game.
U had an arsenal yourself Kobe! Don't talk like Pau, Lamar and Derrick are bums. But I catch the drift. Those other 4? Are FORMIDABLE at it's FINEST!! 😂🤝🏽💯.
You can't underestimate the value of a confident superstar who is truly unfazed. According to RJ and others, LBJ gave the same vibe in 2016. MJ...well, he just got angry and beat whomever himself lol
Kobe was the last player to have that “killer mentality” that Jordan had. No player since him has shown even a glimpse of it. Not Lebron, not Giannis, not Steph, not anybody. RIP to my goat. RIP to Gigi. And RIP to everyone who passed away that unfortunate day. #MambaForever
It will always be the funniest and most hypocritical narrative in the world that Lebron went to Miami to form a super team against boston, when they were the first to form one to stop Kobe😆😂🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
In 2008,they was down 2-1,in game 4,the blew a double digit lead,who knows what could’ve happen if they had tied the series 2-2 cause the end up winning Game 5 and lost in 6..
I remember everybody saying, the lakers only won because Perk got hurt. As if KG, Paul Pierce, Rondo, Ray Allen, Avery Bradley and Tony Allen weren’t enough to win lol
I remember that Game 5 press conference. When a reporter asked a dumb question about how confident he was about winning back to back games at home. He sarcastically was like "No, I am not confident at all" 😂😂😂. That truly an epic series with one of the greatest game 7s of all time.
I mean if you watched basketball not like casual watching, it was obvious how good rondo became. Felt like rondo was putting up 12-14 assists games every week
LA completely shut down Boston's offense in games 6 and 7, and when Kobe talked about Boston beating them up in the first 5 games, the Lakers won by 22 in Game 6.
Kobe said also that he felt like he had to beat Boston because of the Lakers legacy he couldn’t lose to Boston twice in that uniform and everything Is just cool
Somebody told LeBron to go back to the cavaliers Lakers is Kobe Bryant's team somebody tell LeBron James to stop being a b**** and start trying to always make it easy him trying to go to the Sun to join Kevin Durant Devin Booker Bradley Bill that's not fair dude always want it easy and people have the audacity to even say LeBron James is a goat to even think LeBron James is the best wow I guess if I go to the bank for 1 billion I can say I'm rich and I work hard to get that money lol
Take Kobe off of this team and it might be considered the worst NBA championship squad ever! Looking at those 2 squads on paper it’s not even close Boston had a huge advantage down to the last backup player!
The fact he recognized Rondo for how good he was outta the "big 4" in Boston is dope.

Before 2011, the only thing that mattered was that you won the game/chip. Now it's a common to lose, but look good doing it I guess...
Like watching these nba analysis RUclips videos hosted by people that for sure never stepped on a court in their life lol
People are really forgetting that Lakers team is the number 1 seed.
I miss him man
Me tooo bro😢
Lebron beat a beat up Celtics when he was on Miami. So Kobe is the #2, Lebron #3.
beating Big 4 - Kobe & Lebron Huge huge Respect on these guys
Again, people can hate on kobe. All they want this man win back to back without any superstar like dwade an bosh the same team who got old lebron had to go to miami so he could beat a old celtics u people need to sto hating and state facts he did not have no superstar team mate
If Perkins didn’t get injured Celtics would have won
😂😂 maybe same scenario for Lakers in 08. If bynum and odom were healthy
If if if
Agreed
Hell no. You guys need to stop regurgitating this sorry take. Y’all forget the Celtics had Rasheed Wallace who was popping 3s like a modern stretch four and played way bigger minutes than Perkins ever could in that series. Stop making excuses
@@hoompaloompaa Facts. Ariza was injured also in the 08 Finals.
What's the name of the song?
He played like shit game 7.
Everyone played bad. Was scrappy, hard fought game.
Kobe did the other things to make up for it - rebounding and making the right plays for example
He really did....scoring wise...but had like 15-18 rebounds....
true but it was a low scoring game for both teams
He played defense that’s why he was trying to stop the Celtics rhythm.
Based
Then lebron the great took care of the rest .got that superteam the f outta here with his superteam 😂
God i love superteams
That Celtics team robbed us of a Kobe vs Lebron finals 😢
Kobe if he lost this series he be label as a choker and that's crazy to say but people will point out how he looks many horrible shots and even hit the backboard in some of those shots but he won and crazy game by pau that series made me a pau gasol fan
Where's the difference It's not just a game and trophy getting to come It's mentality is totally different It's not just another game like the cry baby likes to say get out of LA I'm back on the team to support the LA Lakers again I got off when he came and sell out You know who I'm talking about
This is a true 2nd to goat..beating 4 all-stars players in a team..just Kobe and gasul..and win a championship..flapBron needs. All star team to be a championship team
Today’s Celtics just don’t compare
KOBE 🏀 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆WITH THE SAME TEAM
MJ 🏀 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆WITH THE SAME TEAM
No cap, this is what Luka and kyrie about to do.
But Expected bron to beat Boston with the team he had😂
It was the best series that I've watched. It was one of those competitive peaks that rarely can be seen. It wasn't certain right until the last minute of game 7.
That game seven was and still is the most intense finals game I've ever seen.
Homely the Mavericks can do the same
Might be due to his time being short in this life, but the more I look back at who he was the more fond of him I find myself.
"All you gotta do is win 2 games at home" -Kobe Bean Bryant. Metaphorical for me.
Kendrick Perkins blowing out his knee in Game 6 at Staples Center certainly helped. (Speaking as a Lakers fan…)
Kobe did what Lebron couldn’t! He beat the big 3 plus Rondo Celtics! I dont know how this man ain’t given more flowers for what he has done for the game 🏀
LeBron lost scoring 45 in a game 7 VS céltics while Kobe won shooting 25% in a game 7 lol.
Lebron carried bums to the finals what kobe ever do without shaq and gasol Bron put up 45 and 15 on boston in a elimination game kobe would never
Thats right gotta love them LA Lakers! Buck Foston!
Kobe shot 6-24 in game 7 lol 😂
Kobe will forever be MY GOAT..🐐
That's tough talk kobe....RIP bro.....I'm so sorry u had baby girl with u....I know as a man and a father of a beautiful girl half spanish and black also..I wouldn't wish that moment that u had on anyone....blessings to your fam big dog....one of the greats
Kobe had Fisher, Gasol, Artest and Bynum and managed to beat the Celtics in 7 games.
Then why was LeBron criticized for losing that season to the Celtics in 6 games when it was clearly 1 vs 5?
I Would Rather Play On Kobe's Team, Rather Than Lebron.... All I Would Do, Is Keep Passing Kobe The Ball, And Play Scottie Pippen Dennis Rodman Type Of Defense!!!! Rebounding My Ass Off.... Shut Your Mouth And Know Your Role....
I was a big time Celtics fan with this 08 lineup !! Alll my favs.. RONDO!!! I’m never evvvaaa forget
That was a great series comeback for Kobe and absolutely a great performance
Single handed basically prevented them having 19 banners instead of 18.
If Kendrick Perkins was healthy would’ve could’ve should’ve go Tatum Brown Prozingizs Prichard ☘️ 🏀 ☘️
If kg wasn't injured all year and some how became an old man over night after 08 winning the chip and Kendrick Perkins getting injured no way lakers win...Kobe got so lucky..... then the fact celtics got old over night and the weak ass east gave him Orlando magic to whoop he doesn't win the 2 without shaq...I love kobe and respect him so much more after he died due to the fact he was the last from the great era, but he got very lucky those 2 chips....the celtics should've been a dynasty but the coach was doc rivers who SUCKS!!!! JUST LOOK AT HIS TRAXK RECORD.....HE MIGHT BE THE WORST COACH EVER!!!!.... Kobe had Mike's coach and that alone made him feel like jordan.... look at his seasons when Phil retired.... team was horrible.... Kobe begged to be traded.... Jackson came back and they trade shaq for odam and got pao and he was the difference maker.... Kobe always shot his team out the game. Gasol was the reason he won..... great team ate and great leader... Kobe tried way to hard to be mike that not only did his teammates hate him they didn't respect him at all..... after jordan retired the nba was suffering.... they needed a dynasty so bad the rigged the playoffs for lakers! Been proven.... funny when jordan was playing shaq and kobe were getting swept and their asses whooped by Karl malone... then jordan leaves, kobe is the young guy with shaq and Phil and even though shaq sucked and was always overrated even with amazing teams he couldn't win..... those magic teams he was on were amazing.... penny Hardaway was so much better than kobe till his injury a d shaq knew it
... penny was the reason Orlando was as great as they were... they made shaq the star and penny Robin so they get swept to Houston, then swept against bulls..... shaq is the 2nd best at being swept behind laflop..... and of course kobe will give u 30 points.... cause he will shoot 40xs a game..... live shaq pretending he loves kobe now that he passed away..... he's so fckn fake cause he hated Bryant from day 1 till the day he died..... and Bryant will NEVER BE IN GOAT CONVERSION cause he is a jordan puppet.. walked talked and dressed like dude.... talked lime mj...... had 0 respect for mike.... changed his number 1 over jordan, 23, 24..... tried over doing mike during his last all star game and wanted it so bad he took every shot and didn't care about winning. Dropping 50 an mj as a wizard knowing he was old and injured and wanted to make 40nyear old mike look bad... cause he as a 20 year old couldn't make mike look bad as a 36 year old....... fuck kobe

Defensively kobe disrupted the celtics offense by shutting down rondos IQ/passing, what kept the celtics that game was not the flow off the offense but pure star power everyone struggled that kept them in the game, it was a disgusting defensive game.. in my mind at that time i was always thinking how are they going to do it how are they going to get over the hump down 15 and theh somehow did it greatest finals i ever saw up there with jordans last finals game.
U had an arsenal yourself Kobe! Don't talk like Pau, Lamar and Derrick are bums. But I catch the drift. Those other 4? Are FORMIDABLE at it's FINEST!! 😂🤝🏽💯.
You can't underestimate the value of a confident superstar who is truly unfazed. According to RJ and others, LBJ gave the same vibe in 2016. MJ...well, he just got angry and beat whomever himself lol
Mamba mentality (instinct) is going extinct in today's NBA, if it wasn't for a few players left....
goy
tta love Kobe it was his favorite because they went fiwn 3-2 overcoming adversity and diminating was his thing MAMBA MENTALITY
Kobe was the last player to have that “killer mentality” that Jordan had. No player since him has shown even a glimpse of it. Not Lebron, not Giannis, not Steph, not anybody. RIP to my goat. RIP to Gigi. And RIP to everyone who passed away that unfortunate day. #MambaForever
Ask "EVERY!" Laker.... Their greatest moment is beating the Celtics in the finals. Just don't ask them what's the worst moment
It was.....he went 6/24....11/15 from line so not a Jordan like performance.Gasol was the man though should have got co-mvp
I miss kobe. Mamba everyone has changed bro everyone. They only care about the money and that's it.. kobe I'm sorry
It will always be the funniest and most hypocritical narrative in the world that Lebron went to Miami to form a super team against boston, when they were the first to form one to stop Kobe😆😂🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
In 2008,they was down 2-1,in game 4,the blew a double digit lead,who knows what could’ve happen if they had tied the series 2-2 cause the end up winning Game 5 and lost in 6..
I remember everybody saying, the lakers only won because Perk got hurt. As if KG, Paul Pierce, Rondo, Ray Allen, Avery Bradley and Tony Allen weren’t enough to win lol
It was lucky though. Because perkins got injured. But injuries is part of luck. Even james worthy a former fmvp got injured in the finals vs bulls.
I figured out that if Kendrick Perkins would have played y'all would have lost. How many 2nd chance pts did the Lakers have that game?
Lebron to his Laker team…….”I promise you if we play Denver again in the playoffs we’re going to win”! ……….Denver wins again 4 games to 1😂😂
I remember that Game 5 press conference. When a reporter asked a dumb question about how confident he was about winning back to back games at home. He sarcastically was like "No, I am not confident at all" 😂😂😂. That truly an epic series with one of the greatest game 7s of all time.
I mean if you watched basketball not like casual watching, it was obvious how good rondo became. Felt like rondo was putting up 12-14 assists games every week
LA completely shut down Boston's offense in games 6 and 7, and when Kobe talked about Boston beating them up in the first 5 games, the Lakers won by 22 in Game 6.
Kobe said also that he felt like he had to beat Boston because of the Lakers legacy he couldn’t lose to Boston twice in that uniform and everything Is just cool
Ron Artest saved Kobe that game
Such a different mentality from others…..(it’s jus basketball 🤡) y’all know who I’m talking about
Somebody told LeBron to go back to the cavaliers Lakers is Kobe Bryant's team somebody tell LeBron James to stop being a b**** and start trying to always make it easy him trying to go to the Sun to join Kevin Durant Devin Booker Bradley Bill that's not fair dude always want it easy and people have the audacity to even say LeBron James is a goat to even think LeBron James is the best wow I guess if I go to the bank for 1 billion I can say I'm rich and I work hard to get that money lol
Take Kobe off of this team and it might be considered the worst NBA championship squad ever! Looking at those 2 squads on paper it’s not even close Boston had a huge advantage down to the last backup player!
It was a great period in basketball. 07 to 2010. It was too bad they couldn't get more around kobe after that cuz he stayed good until Achilles injury
Background music?
Grabi yan nasubaybayan ko yan intense ang laban napaka lakas pareho depensa nila walang umiscore ng 100 points sa dalwang team na yan ...
