Kobe and Michael had the same mindset, straight killers! Kobe was the last of the breed of player, now everyones friends in the league and it shows, kobe had no friends when the game started, he was going to try to end you every time up,and down the court. Black mamba 👌
That's the truth. I loved Kobe I know a lot of people didnt like him but we got to watch one of the greatest basketball players ever with the same mindset as Jordan. I wish the NBA would go back to that mindset.
Funfact: All these players are friends with each other even MJ went to dinner with Patrick Ewing the night before they played playoff games against each other. All these guys to some degrees better than others know how to attack and separate the court and their work and craftsmanship of their game and competition from friendships off the court. If anything because I'm your friend I damn near wanna destroy u on the court more so granted Kobe didn't do it much but he would "fraternize with the enemy" y'all act like this shit just started. Social media just allows more access. Facts
Kobe held the record for the most 3's in a game (12) for 13 years 2003-2016. He also out scored the entire Dallas Mavericks team in 3 quarters outscoring them 62-61 in the 2005/06 season
yup and Russell Westbrook just got the first 20+ points /20+ rebounds/20+ assists game since the 1960's, should check him out for sure. He's the first player to average a triple double for 3 seasons in a row since Oscar Robertson did it back in the day. Westbrook always a fun watch.
Mannn Kobe in my opinion was the best to ever do it. Just because I grew up in the Kobe era watching that video again made me emotional! Kobe One of the GOATs of basketball
Crazy how 1 trade/ player can ruin or take a franchise to the top. Reminds me of when my pistons drafted darko, coulda had melo or wade, I always wonder how many more titles they would have won.
I love how you're spreading out in American sports. Once again I'm not a Lakers fan, but I respected Kobe's love for the game. He was a icon in the NBA. It was sad to watch his last season in the NBA, he had weak legs when he took a jump shots.
This video is from back in Vincent's over use of slow motion. You got to see an extremely small amount of Kobe's highlights and a very very high level overview of his career. But I guess it's a good intro to Kobe. Good reaction, as always.
He dropped 60 points in his final game... at the age of 37... while havin gone through 4 years of constant injuries.. one year was Achilles, then his knee , then his shoulder until eventually his body was giving up on him. Which is why he retired.. he was done fetting hurt & rehabbing. That 60 point game is legendary he could barely run up and down the court. Plus taking about 45 shots is tough. Man i miss you KOBE! REST Easy champ.
I remember watching that game live. I sitting 2 feet in front of the TV . I had tears in my eyes. One of the most emotional fantastic games I ever had the privilege to watch
@@kiwikicker9263 when I first heard the news I was in shock. I just froze in place and I just couldn't believe it. Everyone that new who he was just stopped there day. This is the most tragic sports event I have ever been alive for.
Man I remember that last game like it was yesterday. 81 against Toronto and 61 against the Knicks. But seeing his daughter and mother cheering during his last game made me wanna cry. A tragedy they were taken way too soon.
What highlight videos like this one and the Jordan one you watched, they always emphasize the scoring, particularly the dunks, the game winners, the championships, etc. But both Kobe and MJ were also incredible defenders. I wished we saw more of their defensive capabilities in these videos. Particularly, MJ, along with Pippen and Dennis Rodman formed the most incredible defensive-minded squad in perhaps the history of basketball. They would often lock-teams up, with Pippen often guarding the best player on the opposing team (except for centers or power forwards), thus allowing MJ to concentrate more on offense and playing the passing lanes. In their final season, games would often be over by the start of the 4th quarter and MJ would just rest for the rest of the game. That was how dominant they were. But meanwhile, in the Shaq/Kobe years, their offense was so dominant (also with Glen Rice, Robert Horry, and Rick Fox), no one could keep up with them.
I've never heard that rumor about Kobe and picking 24...But I gotta believe there is some significance to picking the number that is 1 away from MJ. Also when he was on team USA he picked number 10 and michael was number 9. He has said himself he is not better than MJ, but I do think it signifies a connection.
Kobe has also conducted interviews in fluent Spanish, which was why he can make tactical changes with Pau. This is possibly because of the linguistic similarities between Italian and Spanish, or he was taught later on when the family returns to USA.
He wore #24 in high school.. had nothing to do with MJ or #23 (or maybe it did, since he chose to wear it in high school... but then it’s no secret that MJ was his idol). The 60 points game eclipsed the 81 points game in terms of significance... it was his last game, having played 19 years in the league.... he was basically a grandpa in NBA age... and the way he scored 60... he took over those final minutes to win the game... it was the mamba mentality at its finest.
+Colts Sneaker Closet He first wore #24 in high school, then wore #33 in honor of his father who also wore #33 in high school. He couldn’t wear #33 upon arriving in NBA because that number is retired by Kareem, and #24 was already taken by another player... so he chose #8, the jersey number he wore as a kid in Italy, and also the sum of 143 (the jersey he wore at Adidas ABDC camp) which is 8. He later on chose #24 in second half of his nba career when it was again available.
Kobe was drafted by Charlotte and traded to LA for center Vlade Divac. He wore 8 for 10 years and 24 for the other 10 years. Kobe is 2nd in points in a game with 81. Wilt Chamberlain had a 100 point game on March 2, 1962. It wasn’t televised so unless you were at the game, you didn’t see it. I was lucky enough to go to his final game against Utah. IT WAS CRAAAZY!!
You definitely need to checkout the Michael Jordan/Kobe Bryant Identical Plays videos on RUclips. It’s a 3 part video series that shows just how identical Jordan and Kobe were in the way they played
Binging a ton of your videos haha. Basketball season starts in a few weeks I believe. Should check out some nba dunks and crossovers from last season. Would be awesome haha
My wife bought me tickets to see Kobe play vs the Spurs one last time in 2015-2016. Even as a diminished player he still wowed me. One of the best. 2nd greatest shooting guard all time.
John Roper him and wade both had that affect on me, I saw them both their last games here in Portland. Both once in a lifetime players that will continue to inspires other people’s games. Mamba mentality obviously is one of those affects.
Very nice reaction Videos, thank you mate! As you seem to like NBA as well i highly recommend you the "Larry Bird Ultimate Highlights" video. I´m a rugby fan as well and Birds mindset and determination will match that taste perfectly well. You gonna love that guy and you´ll be thankful to have seen what he was capable off, it is unbelievable, i promise!
I used to not like him at all just because of the team he played for, but when i got to see him playing in person in Dallas he instantly got my respect, what an assassin true killer instinct.
great video Kiwi... No one compares to AIR JORDAN the Goat.. not sure if you saw AIR Jordan's highlights from college to the NBA but if you haven't seen it your missing the greatest player hightlights of all time.. also its unheard of for a basketball player running a 4.3-40 time.
I wish he was recorded running a 4.3. I just don't think a 6'6 Jordan ran a 4.30. College coaches were especially known to lie back then to talk their players up.
@@kb88ist yes.. he ran a 4.6 coming into the NBA but he got it down to a 4.3. watch his colleagues video that includes his entire career. to be honest i didnt know that either but either way he is the Goat.
@@scottsuem3384 "When he enrolled at Chapel Hill, Jordan ran the 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds. This fall he ran a 4.3." Chapel Hill is North Carolina. It's his college coach this is quoted from. So he is saying he ran a 4.6 when his freshman year and a 4.3 before he went to the NBA. Not saying it's impossible but we have to take it for what it is. We will never know for sure as it wasn't recorded. Just a person saying something about his star player. It's hard for me to believe it considering how much coaches lied at the time when Jordan was in college in an attempt to get their players drafted higher.
You ask "why not just step back out for the three" on the long two-point shots. The game hadn't realized the potential in the three pointer like it does today just yet. Teams still tried their best to work the ball inside the arc to find a good look closer to the basket when Kobe entered the league. Players like MJ and Tracy McGrady and Kobe were at the top of the scoring food chain because they had all the offensive skill you could ask for and would take any opening they sought out from anywhere on the court because they were just that damn good to take those kinds of shots all the time. But it's fun to wonder what Kobe and MJ would have looked like in today's game with proper spacing and teammates who specialize in three point shooting above all else. That just wasn't the way basketball was played for most of Kobe's career.
A Laker fan for life, Kobe is my second favourite player of all time. You need to take a trip back in the archives and watch my #1. Earvin "Magic" Johnson. He wasn't a huge scorer, but he was a 6'8" point guard (unheard of before) and an absolute wizard with the ball and seemingly 360 degree court vision. He retired with the all-time assists record (I think he's still third or fourth) a slew of triple-doubles, 5 Championships and one of the best rivalries in sports history with the great Larry Bird. Brother, you will not regret taking a look at Magic. Trust me.
If you do a side by side watching Kobe and mj you can’t tell the difference at all. Kobe idolized mj so much. At the 98 (I believe) all star game Kobe was asking mj how he did this and that. They was brothers love loved each other a lot. Watch mj speech at Kobe memorial. It got everybody all over the world.
I will forever miss watching him play. The end of an era. He gets forgot about a lot because of LeBron and the new age players but Kobe carried this league in a time when stars weren't as common as now and he played with the same time his whole career. Nobody in the history of sports has his drive to win.
6:10 I think the point is that it's amazing he doesn't even give a s**t about how many points he's getting (even though he clearly does); he's gonna break your ankles and take the shot wherever he feels like.
6:04 It was at a time when Kobe's 3-point shooting wasn't all that reliable, but even with the 2, the Pacers was trailing by 6 late in the game anyway.
He changed it for like a rebirth from his passed. He had some difficulties personally and his teamwork absolutely. So when he changed his number from 8 to 24 it was a new him. A rebirth
81 was the 2nd best ever. Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in one game. He was 7ft tall which is kinda average for a center now but back then the tallest centers were usually around 6’9”. That’s why they call him Wilt the Stilt. He was literally a man amongst boys just based on size but also based on talent.
Hey man, I think the reason he shot that two pointer instead of stepping back to the 3 point arc is (possibly) the defender is less likely to anticipate the jump shot
Kobe was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets, but was traded to the Lakers a couple of weeks later for Vlade Divac. Kobe never even put on a Hornets uniform. Also, Kobe and Shaq had a hard time getting along. They both wanted to be considered the star of the team. Eventually the Lakers had to choose because they could not continue to have both players. So, they traded Shaq, the older player, to the Miami Heat for Caron Butler and Lamar Odom.
Hope your having a good day bro! Idea: so the NFL Draft is coming up soon. Cardinals have the no 1 pick for the first time ever. Day before the draft (draft is on April 25th), you should do Larry Fitzgerald lmao (Yeah, I'm predictable. But consistent 😉🤣). Miketoonice highlights. That's all. Have a great day!
6:05 there is always a reason to shoot 2 pointers and 3 pointers. It’s all about Skill Level and players are really good shooters from the base line and mid range. Basketball isn’t all about 3 pointers and slam Dunks. You have work on your craft and the little things like 2 pointers. The NBA never had the point line until 1982-83.
81 is his highest, the commentator said what “he eclipsed his 81 point game.” Because of the fact that this man is in year 20, and scores 60 points to end his career. (Which is a record)
On the 60 points eclipsing 81: He did not play well his final season. If it wasnt Kobe, they wouldnt have played him. That being said, the jazz needed to win the final game to make it into the playoffs. So they were trying to win as much as possible. So with Kobe playing terribly all year, and the jazz fired up to win, Kobe showed us he still had that killer mentality to win, and dropped 60 points to bring his team back and win. The commentator (Stephen a smith) said it eclipsed the 81 point game because it showed just how much of an assassin Kobe was.
1:51 That’s False, He said in a podcast when he was alive, He wore the number 24 because that was his high school number when he was a freshman. That’s why he wanted 24. And plus he wore number 8 because of his dad.
It eclipsed the 81 points game in therms of performance. It was a much older Kobe being the first, second and third option in a bad team. That year he willed them into the Playoffs but sadly like in the second to last game of the regular season his Achilles injury happened. He never was the same after that.
I like seeing you react to the NBA/NFL a lot but I'm also glad you started showing us Rugby, this is just such a cool channel

Who's watching after Kobe's death R.I.P
Love your videos
Kobe was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets, but was traded to the Lakers a couple of weeks later for Vlade Divac. Kobe never even put on a Hornets uniform.
Also, Kobe and Shaq had a hard time getting along. They both wanted to be considered the star of the team. Eventually the Lakers had to choose because they could not continue to have both players. So, they traded Shaq, the older player, to the Miami Heat for Caron Butler and Lamar Odom.
Who is here after kobe bryant and his daughter passed away 😔
Hope your having a good day bro! Idea: so the NFL Draft is coming up soon. Cardinals have the no 1 pick for the first time ever. Day before the draft (draft is on April 25th), you should do Larry Fitzgerald lmao (Yeah, I'm predictable. But consistent 😉🤣). Miketoonice highlights. That's all. Have a great day!
Thats a really good idea!
6:05 there is always a reason to shoot 2 pointers and 3 pointers. It’s all about Skill Level and players are really good shooters from the base line and mid range. Basketball isn’t all about 3 pointers and slam Dunks. You have work on your craft and the little things like 2 pointers. The NBA never had the point line until 1982-83.
There is a lot of ppl that wouldnt say he is better than jordan, but he is also one of the only players you can even throw in the conversation.
81 is his highest, the commentator said what “he eclipsed his 81 point game.” Because of the fact that this man is in year 20, and scores 60 points to end his career. (Which is a record)
Favorite player
THATS MY BOY !!!! MAMBA 4 LIFE 💛💜💛💜💛💜💛
6:08 this dude already smarter than most Kobe fans
On the 60 points eclipsing 81: He did not play well his final season. If it wasnt Kobe, they wouldnt have played him.
That being said, the jazz needed to win the final game to make it into the playoffs. So they were trying to win as much as possible.
So with Kobe playing terribly all year, and the jazz fired up to win, Kobe showed us he still had that killer mentality to win, and dropped 60 points to bring his team back and win.
The commentator (Stephen a smith) said it eclipsed the 81 point game because it showed just how much of an assassin Kobe was.
I love how someone stole his towel at the end.
I miss the days when the NBA wasnt just about chucking up as many 3s as you can
I love that he scored 60 points in his last home game considering shaq said he needed him to get 50, just had to 1up him lol
1:51 That’s False, He said in a podcast when he was alive, He wore the number 24 because that was his high school number when he was a freshman. That’s why he wanted 24. And plus he wore number 8 because of his dad.
Would you possibly do a video on an athlete from motorsports
Shawn Kemp dude. I guarantee you will not regret the Reign Man.
First and more importantly R.i.p. Kobe. Gigi. As well as everyone who suffered from the incident. Second for dunking Nate Robinson and/or spud webb
React to jordan kilganon dunks
Suggestions
Tim Duncan
Hakeem Olajuwon
Jason Williams
The Professor (streetball/spiderman)
Scottie pippen (Ultimate Defender)
It eclipsed the 81 points game in therms of performance. It was a much older Kobe being the first, second and third option in a bad team. That year he willed them into the Playoffs but sadly like in the second to last game of the regular season his Achilles injury happened. He never was the same after that.
Was up man just wanted to throw out James Harden “the beard”
