The 2010 Finals was so competitive.. The Lakers should of won game 5 in my opinion behind Kobe's 38 pt dominance.. But we blew it at the end.. Game 6 we blew Boston out & Game 7 was just a cage match
Jack McLane i agree on you with 98% of that. The thing about Kareem though is he played for 20 years and had the most points in NBA history, that's an incredible amount of time. Hell Jordan could've broken that record if he played 95-95...i think i just made an even bigger argument for Jordan though
it's funny how people say that Perkins injury in game 6 of the 2010 finals cost them the championship, but i don't hear a word about Ariza & Bynum absent from all the games of 2008 finals (yes i know that ariza played 5 games, buy he only came back from a difficult injury straight to the NBa finals and played 35 min total). and also let's not forget that Bynum played on one leg the entire 2010 playoffs so so don't give that kendrick perkins injury shit!
If Ariza or Bynum were healthy in 08 the Lakers win that series and go on to 3peat. End of story. I am so sick of the bullshit narrative about Perkins being the difference maker
Dvir ben zvi Also Ray had a gutter game in game 3 2 points if he would of played better who knows what would have happened still glad he did Lakers deserved that ring
Thank you for making this I've been saying for years how Kobe still came through in that game 7 regardless of shooting!! People who attack Kobe's legacy because of this probably didn't even watch the game so they don't even realize how the game was played. Great video man!
23pts (most in the gm), 15 rebounds, most points in the 4th quarter with 10, trusted Ron to make that 3, and his team won! How do ppl only focus on 6/24 and not mention the fact that everybody shot like shit that gm.
Gurren Gougo trusted Ron to make that 3😂 I guarantee you LeBron could’ve made the same play and you Kobe fans would’ve said” He DoEsNT HaVE MAmbA MeNTaLity”
@@didntask5368 yeah. Because kobe has consistently came through as early as 1999..... he's been clutch for 10 years at that point. And lebron has had what? A small handle full of clutch moments that get overblown because its lebron
Jack The Ripper a small handful? Are you talking about last year only? I’m pretty sure last year alone he had multiple game winners/ game saving blocks. Nice try tho
Kobe had a lot to lose from the game. That said Lakers defense won the series more than anything which Kobe and Artest were both phenomenal at. The 4 Games Lakers won they held Boston to 89, 84, 67, and 79 points some pretty low scoring affairs on the Celtic's part. While Perkins gets brought up and people say KG wasn't the same, people ignore Kobe had a seriously bad knee which relegated him to mostly shooting jumpers, he also had a broken index finger on his shooting hand and another arthritic finger also on his shooting hand. Bynum of course too was struggling with knee issues all series they both him and Kobe had knee surgery in the 2010 offseason which not try to take away from the Mavs but it cost the Lakers a chance at the threepeat.
Last 2 games of the 2010 Finals Bynum could barely stand on the court and scored a total 4 points, 2 in each game. He was our third best scorer averaging 15 ppg during the season yet in the finals he could barely walk the whole series. His limited mobility hurt the Lakers much more than Perkins missing 1 game hurt the Celtic.
I remember this game so vividly because I wanted rondo aka Mr triple double Sunday to win but I remember the exact stat of 6-24 and kobe looked for the most part like he was trying to win it by himself... it's like with every miss the pressure was building on him but boston couldn't quite pull away it was weird... kobe had no control all game then all of a sudden high right post jab step pump fake to a one dribble pull-up... soon as that shot when in it was like an uppercut you knew the ko was coming

Did you notice almost All those are volume stats not efficiency. All the great players helped the team win. Kobe just shot more than everybody to get points, he always hit less than half his shots.
Pau was definitely a gift from Jerry, and a message, saying I know I’m gone and I know you’re pissed, but you are a Laker and are always meant to be. That was his way of keeping Kobe there. - Jerry is always a Laker at heart, and him not being affiliated with them is business, not personal.

As soon as I saw the title I knew the video would have something to do with the 2008 finals. I remember having this exact conversation with my older brother as soon as the Celtics won by 39 points! If Kobe didn't get another ring without Shaq he'd never be allowed in the 'best of all time' conversation and would just be a great player for the rest of his career.
Absolutely, was critical to his legacy. I wouldn't call 2008 a choke job (minus game 4). That Boston team was downright scary defensively and I knew it probably meant Lakers would lose.
G7 still gives me chills. I had so much fear going into that game as a lakers fan. But luckily we found a way to win that one somehow. I remember Kobe saying “I still don’t know how we won that game” with joy obviously. I remember thinking the same thing felt too good to be true. Everyone I mean everyone was picking the Celtics. At least that I knew that wasn’t a die hard lakers fan. And I’m in SoCal. Thank god we got it done in ‘10 🏆
Many problems with this. No mention on Bynum being hurt but perkins is mentioned. Kg destroying gasol. You completely don't acknowledge how hard the West was those years. Whereas the Celtics had one hard battle against LeBron. Minus the best player, lakers were one of the worst teams to win the finals in recent history
Jerod Myers That team was pretty fun to watch i had some of the best memories watching them. They had Buynum Gasol Odom great rotation. Ron artest sasha jordan farmer Luke Walton Shannon Brown. They werent the greatest but fun to watch.
bro they gave up marc gasol for pau why continue the false narrative that he was free??also u call boston old in 2010 but when bron beat them in 2012 you didnt state how old they were
@@fullrangebasshead7055 I swear I hate this dude but the media believes it too lebron is number 2 behind jordan cause he plays with a shit load of stars magic and kareem are top 5 even though they needed eachother and they had defenders on their team and a #1 and #4 pick in james worthy and byron scott and aging stars in bob mcadoo and mychal thompson in all their ring but the media claims they are better than Kobe. Jordan is even said to be better even though he played against cavemen and short guys and guys way less talented then him dumars 6'3 john starks 6'4
I feel like I should have fleshed out my compliment more than just those few words. Otoh, that'd almost assuredly produce another of my super-long comments and, perhaps, what I did say was enough. I'll add that I've been a "rabid" NBA-ABA-NBL fan since the 1959-60 season and think of myself as considerably less biased than the average fan (with my main tendency to be to appreciate: great plays & games by great players and teams more than "homerist" type considerations). This is the biggest reason why I find your analysis so impressive here - you've focused in on how important this one game might well have been to people's general feelings about Kobe's career (without getting into your own view of just how great he might have been).
If LeBron had *half* the team Kobe had he would have beat the Spurs in 07. In 15 when LeBron single handily carried the injured Cavs to 6. If he had more help he would have won. And in 17 when LeBron averaged a *triple double* in the finals, if his team stepped up they could have won. *Could have*. That's 2-3 more rings that would make his career 4-4 or 5-3.
WestCrook Only reason we lost this year was because of our trash defense and lack of offensive coordination. We looked like the Nets out there without LeBron 😣😣
I like how he fails to mention Kobe played with a broke finger throughout the entire playoffs. If you want to tell a story, tell the complete story, Kobe was phenomenal in 2010 and he should have been the season MVP.
Mountaga Diallo Larry Bird is 17 - 9 vs Jordan Steph Curry is 15 - 7 vs LeBron Paul Pierce is 21 - 18 vs Lebron Kobe and Lebron was 5 - 5 Before Lebron teamed up with multiple Superstars in Miami It's a team game not 1v1 so what's your point dummy ? Kobe is light years ahead of Lebron in skills on the court
Something else that isn't going to get mentioned in this game 7 is if you actually watched this game it was completely referreed differently from the mid point of the 3rd quarter on and heavily in the favor of the Lakers. Which allowed the Lakers to pull off the comeback
I really don't know how to edit but I got a great video idea which is breaking down a players career for example kobe and basically determine the bad and good decisions during their career for example leaving a team and by the end of the video you can say wether they underachieved or max out all their opportunities
Kobe shot 6-24, but grabbed 15 rebounds, so he had a good game? By that logic, one could say that LeBron never has a bad game, since he always gets rebounds and assists.
Torrey Robey Jr Scored 23 he was leading scorer of the game his series avg were 28pts 8reb 4ast 2stl with a torn ligament in his index finger on his shooting hand.
Young Hov Dont forget thats just the finals he avg 15pts also he missed game 4 nd played 9 minutes in game 3 because Fukn Jalen rose cant guard him or reggie miller nd thats why he dropped 81 on his ass
Even with this win people will always try to tear down his legacy. People will always say Shaq carried him, most of which probably weren’t born, didn’t watch or just hate him in general. Thanks for the video man, everyone else, stop ripping legends. Have your favorites, that’s fine, but recognize greatness for what it is. Don’t get your panties in a bunch because someone said Kobe was better than your favorite player and you just can’t accept that. Kobe’s my favorite of all time, but I’m willing to admit there are probably 6 or 7 who I’d put above him on an all time list. If everyone just enjoyed greatness and was unbiased with their favorites, things would be much better with fans. Cheers
Steve bilman I was talking about the argument "It was an ugly slow paced game" and not the whole argument of the video. Why would a top 5-10 GOAT scorer, a top 10 players, gotta be compared to the likes of KG/MWP/Gasol and why should it be okay for him to shoot Bad because *they* shot Bad, when he had an History of fading during games 7 ( 06 Suns/09 Rockets ) ?
Gloomygl 1 a slow paced game when you are the main focus of the second greatest defensive team of that generation while not having a pure perimeter threat from deep to spread the floor but MWP , who wouldn't shoot bad ? , i ain't defending him for his bad shooting I'm just saying he wasn't one dimensional.
Gloomygl 1 You named three HOF as if they were benchwarmers lmao. The Celtics had 4 HOF. Kobe had Pau (top 10 pf at the time) and Odom (a lesser draymond green) ".
Im glad you talked about how everyone had a horrible offensive night in game 7 and that Kobe had two clutch offensive plays that game. The change he made that night was baiting out double teams and passing to the open player. He didnt get many assists, but he put his offense in foul position, which is how vast majority of lakers points were scored. And this led to the ron artest 3. Celtics fully expected kobe to ball hog, but he matured and he used it to his advantage.
Wilt was an offensive monster. He was constantly doubled teamed and tripled teamed just to try and stop him from scoring. Wilt was the best all around player. And for his size, I can see why people deny why he was the greatest center of all time
Seriously? How does that make sense? If you were watching the playoffs then youd know that Lakers was fatigue from last series against hornets and chemistry was not at their best. On the other hand, Miami was a heavy heavy favourite. There really was no excuse for losing.
This goes out to show you that Kobe would do anything to get a win. Kobe is a fucking beast when it comes to do anything to get his team a W. this is something we will never see again. MJ & Kobe the 2 greatest to ever touch a Basketball.
If fisher doesn't tie up game 4 vs Orlando who knows how that series turns out..or if Horry misses vs kings or kg never got hurt...also we all saw artest bail Kobe out in 2010 west finals vs suns game 5 didnt ee after he air balled the game winner
Also, kobe had a broken finger in that game 7 against Boston, which definitely affected his shot. Also that orlando team was a better overall team than those sixer and nets teams, and was probably the 2nd best team he played in the finals behind those Boston teams.
This my TOP 10 All Time What y'all Think 1. Michael Jordan 2. LeBron James 3. Magic Johnson 4. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 5. Larry Bird 6. Wilt Chamberlain 7. Kobe Bryant 8. Tim Duncan 9. Shaquille O' Neal 10. Bill Russell
Top 10 of all time 1. Michael Jordan 2. Lebron James 3. Kareem Abdul Jabaar 4. Magic Johnson 5. Wilt chamberlain 6. Larry bird 7. Hakeem Olajuwon 8. Bill russel 9. Shaq 10. Oscar Robertson
Difference between Kobe and Bron is that Mamba could go 6/24 and still win the chip. Kobe won despite a potential legacy ruining game but if Lebron has/had a bad game his team gets killed. Imo that proves who's truly better. MJ still the goat so don't come here with that bs. When Kobe or Bron can get 6, we'll talk. That puts Kobe out the discussion and Bron is half way there.
That makes no sense. If Kobe could go 6/24 but still win, and Lebron had to carry his team or else they would lose, that means Kobe has had the better teams than Lebron. Which means that Lebron has had to work with less and carry most of the load himself. If anything, that proves that Lebron is better. Congratulations. You played yourself
TOP 15 NBA PLAYERS ALL-TIME: (CAREER Success/Accomplishments/Stats) 1. Bill Russell 2. Michael Jordan 3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 4. Wilt Chamberlain 5. Magic Johnson 6. Kobe Bryant 7. Tim Duncan 8. Shaquille O'Neal 9. LeBron James 10. Larry Bird 11. Hakeem Olajuwon 12. Julius Erving 13. Oscar Robertson 14. Dwayne Wade 15. John Havlicek Honorary Mentions: Isaiah Thomas (80's), Kevin Durant, David Robinson, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Stephen Curry, Charles Barkley, Dave Cowens, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Karl Malone, Jason Kidd
MicroWavy More teams, less concentration of talent on those teams. Just because he wasn't modern doesn't make him any less great. Bill was a monumental athlete not only for his success/dominance on the court but off of the court also. Greatest defender and rebounder in the games history as well as its best leader. People need to actually research pre-80's NBA and understand the dynamics of what the games was then
That game was a grindfest. It had the most tension in an nba finals game I've ever seen and was one of the best. Don't forget Kobe would have threepeated if it hadn't been for Boston's superteam.

CrazyFoo501 Kobe got extremely lucky Perkins tore his acl game 6 & couldn't play game 7 & that Ron aterst hit an unlikely three
And we were extremely unlucky to have Bynum and Ariza injured, and Kobe with a bad back in 2008.
CrazyFoo501 they lost Perkins Kobe got lucky
Last 2 games of the 2010 Finals Bynum could barely stand on the court and scored a total 4 points, 2 in each game.

As soon as I saw the title I knew the video would have something to do with the 2008 finals. I remember having this exact conversation with my older brother as soon as the Celtics won by 39 points! If Kobe didn't get another ring without Shaq he'd never be allowed in the 'best of all time' conversation and would just be a great player for the rest of his career.
Absolutely, was critical to his legacy. I wouldn't call 2008 a choke job (minus game 4). That Boston team was downright scary defensively and I knew it probably meant Lakers would lose.
G7 still gives me chills. I had so much fear going into that game as a lakers fan. But luckily we found a way to win that one somehow. I remember Kobe saying “I still don’t know how we won that game” with joy obviously. I remember thinking the same thing felt too good to be true. Everyone I mean everyone was picking the Celtics. At least that I knew that wasn’t a die hard lakers fan. And I’m in SoCal. Thank god we got it done in ‘10 🏆
Many problems with this. No mention on Bynum being hurt but perkins is mentioned. Kg destroying gasol. You completely don't acknowledge how hard the West was those years. Whereas the Celtics had one hard battle against LeBron. Minus the best player, lakers were one of the worst teams to win the finals in recent history
Jerod Myers That team was pretty fun to watch i had some of the best memories watching them. They had Buynum Gasol Odom great rotation. Ron artest sasha jordan farmer Luke Walton Shannon Brown. They werent the greatest but fun to watch.
Once again great work on The Black Mamba
If this were Lebron, people would say Ron Artest saved his legacy
Dom2k always bringing the heat.
bro they gave up marc gasol for pau why continue the false narrative that he was free??also u call boston old in 2010 but when bron beat them in 2012 you didnt state how old they were
Riot Or diet that’s just what Lebron fans do
i swear this guy keeps talking the most shit. being negative all round on how kobe won his games . smh
Adam Espinoza lol he a Celtics fan he don’t even like lebron
@@fullrangebasshead7055 I swear I hate this dude but the media believes it too lebron is number 2 behind jordan cause he plays with a shit load of stars magic and kareem are top 5 even though they needed eachother and they had defenders on their team and a #1 and #4 pick in james worthy and byron scott and aging stars in bob mcadoo and mychal thompson in all their ring but the media claims they are better than Kobe. Jordan is even said to be better even though he played against cavemen and short guys and guys way less talented then him dumars 6'3 john starks 6'4
Really well thought-out and executed analysis / presentation. Kudos
Appreciate that
I feel like I should have fleshed out my compliment more than just those few words. Otoh, that'd almost assuredly produce another of my super-long comments and, perhaps, what I did say was enough. I'll add that I've been a "rabid" NBA-ABA-NBL fan since the 1959-60 season and think of myself as considerably less biased than the average fan (with my main tendency to be to appreciate: great plays & games by great players and teams more than "homerist" type considerations). This is the biggest reason why I find your analysis so impressive here - you've focused in on how important this one game might well have been to people's general feelings about Kobe's career (without getting into your own view of just how great he might have been).
THE BLACK MAMBA murdered all your teams and you'll never see a more competitive spirit anytime soon.
David Alcaraz He murdered the rim by hitting it so much, since he always bricks...
MM25 that doesn't make any sense b
stealthiscool i still can't believe it's not butter
David Alcaraz What about Westbrook? Kobe v2 in my opinion.
Wolves bandwagon fan since 1998 true, but they're all type b compared to Kobe's.
Awesome video dude
Dom Is Better Than Mike Korzemba He Did Not Sellout to doing Clickbait Videos Unlike Mike
nah Mike Goes all Over Dom Sticks To the NBA While Mike heading All Over the Place with his Vids
NBA Know It All nah Mike still GOAT and he doesn't clickbait you don't know what clickbait is you just a hater
facts , plus korzemba has the most annoying voice , his energy bothers me
NBA Know It All Korzemba overrated tho
he is his fans attacking me
I watched a whole 30 second ad for you, granted it was unskipable but I still did it.
If LeBron had *half* the team Kobe had he would have beat the Spurs in 07. In 15 when LeBron single handily carried the injured Cavs to 6. If he had more help he would have won. And in 17 when LeBron averaged a *triple double* in the finals, if his team stepped up they could have won. *Could have*. That's 2-3 more rings that would make his career 4-4 or 5-3.
WestCrook Only reason we lost this year was because of our trash defense and lack of offensive coordination. We looked like the Nets out there without LeBron 😣😣
Celtics Fan Since August 23, 2017 KySexual #11 Hah cool username. And your right we could have easily won if our bench played like what they did in 16
In 15 if Kobe was in that situation Cavs would have won.
If Steph wasn’t injured bogut wasn’t hurt, iggy wasn’t hurt, Draymond wasn’t suspended then the dubs win the finals in 2016
WestCrook bro his team in 2017 almost got swept. Always blaming lebrons teammates
Dom2k your my fav youtuber right now thank you for making great vids that make sense keep it up!
Thanks for being here!
I like how he fails to mention Kobe played with a broke finger throughout the entire playoffs. If you want to tell a story, tell the complete story, Kobe was phenomenal in 2010 and he should have been the season MVP.
Michael Land should he also tell what Kobe ate for dinner the night before or what he ate for breakfast?
Lebron was more deserving of the MVP but Kobe was the best player in the world.
Dom the goat on the mic
Do Kobe fans forget that Kobe has a record of 5-16 against LeBron ?
Do LeBron fans forget that Kobe is 5-7 in the finals while LeBron is 3-8?
Do Kobe fans know that Kobe blew a 3-1 lead against Steve Nash and choked in game 7 2010 Finals but got carried by Gasol
Mountaga Diallo Do Kobe fans know that Kobe averaged 15ppg on 36.7% for one of his rings?
Terrance Phillips and do they know that Kobe has the most missed shots in NBA History ?
Mountaga Diallo
Larry Bird is 17 - 9 vs Jordan
Steph Curry is 15 - 7 vs LeBron
Paul Pierce is 21 - 18 vs Lebron
Kobe and Lebron was 5 - 5 Before Lebron teamed up with multiple Superstars in Miami
It's a team game not 1v1 so what's your point dummy ?
Kobe is light years ahead of Lebron in skills on the court
Dude I love your videos.... Very interesting, entertaining and enjoyable...
You forgot to mention one small detail... HE PLAYED WITH A FUCKING BROKEN SHOTING FINGER.
Something else that isn't going to get mentioned in this game 7 is if you actually watched this game it was completely referreed differently from the mid point of the 3rd quarter on and heavily in the favor of the Lakers. Which allowed the Lakers to pull off the comeback
4:26 Marc Gasol aint no bag of chips.
I really don't know how to edit but I got a great video idea which is breaking down a players career for example kobe and basically determine the bad and good decisions during their career for example leaving a team and by the end of the video you can say wether they underachieved or max out all their opportunities
I'll never forget that Jalen Rose outplayed Kobe in 2000 finals
Tj Rod I'll never forget that Jaylen Rose injured Kobe in that series. He was also barely 21-22 years old.
Ill never forget that Jason Terry outplayed lebron in the 2011 finals
winning is winning, dosent matter if win by an inch or a mile. Winning is Winning
Dom, you should've just titled the video "Kobe fans gets exposed"
great content as always
Kobe shot 6-24, but grabbed 15 rebounds, so he had a good game? By that logic, one could say that LeBron never has a bad game, since he always gets rebounds and assists.
Lebron James 8pts outplayed by jason terry in 2011
Context, idiot.
Dom you are amazing
"Only averaged 23" 😂😂 damn that's his worst?
Torrey Robey Jr Scored 23 he was leading scorer of the game his series avg were 28pts 8reb 4ast 2stl with a torn ligament in his index finger on his shooting hand.
Nah he averaged 15 in 2000 I think that was his worst scoring finals series. But shaq averaged damn near 40 to win them the chip that year
Wolves bandwagon fan since 1998 Percentage isn't always everything unless you're a Lebron fan that throws stats at everyone
Young Hov Dont forget thats just the finals he avg 15pts also he missed game 4 nd played 9 minutes in game 3 because Fukn Jalen rose cant guard him or reggie miller nd thats why he dropped 81 on his ass
For the supposed "GOAT" especially when you shooting 38%, that's terrible.
I love ur channel
Like-Kobe comes back
Sub-prime kobe comes back
Ignore-prime darko comes back
why do people like these
DannyAwesome 08 you're so cringy
What happens when I dislike
DannyAwesome 08 I liked all we need is Kobe prime or washed
Great video
Kobe GOAT
Roge ロジェ nah dom the 🐐
Dom = goat
Roge ロジェ L
Roge ロジェ Bruh, if there's a lot of people who say Wade is better than Kobe, what makes you think he's the 🐐?
Roge ロジェ I thought that nigga was joking omg he actually thanks that Kobe the goat o hall nah I can name 5 players better then him😂
Great vid
IDC whatever anyone says. If someone was injured or not, if they shot better or not. Kobe can own LeBron and MJ in a game of one on one.
Kobe sabotaged the 04 finals which was a great sabotage on his behalf
I'm late.... so I can't tell a joke 😭😭😭
Even with this win people will always try to tear down his legacy. People will always say Shaq carried him, most of which probably weren’t born, didn’t watch or just hate him in general.
Thanks for the video man, everyone else, stop ripping legends. Have your favorites, that’s fine, but recognize greatness for what it is. Don’t get your panties in a bunch because someone said Kobe was better than your favorite player and you just can’t accept that. Kobe’s my favorite of all time, but I’m willing to admit there are probably 6 or 7 who I’d put above him on an all time list. If everyone just enjoyed greatness and was unbiased with their favorites, things would be much better with fans. Cheers
Dom u should really try mt amd can u play more 2k on your channel

Wilt?
alex palmer bird behind Duncan and bron? Tf is that shit man smh
Dude you inspired me to start making more basketball videos
So basically shooting horribly is actually okay if everybody does, when you're a top 10 player ever ?
He was the leading scorer , and he found a way to impact the game by grabbing 15 boards with KG and Pau being in the game
Steve bilman I was talking about the argument "It was an ugly slow paced game" and not the whole argument of the video. Why would a top 5-10 GOAT scorer, a top 10 players, gotta be compared to the likes of KG/MWP/Gasol and why should it be okay for him to shoot Bad because *they* shot Bad, when he had an History of fading during games 7 ( 06 Suns/09 Rockets ) ?
Gloomygl 1 a slow paced game when you are the main focus of the second greatest defensive team of that generation while not having a pure perimeter threat from deep to spread the floor but MWP , who wouldn't shoot bad ? , i ain't defending him for his bad shooting I'm just saying he wasn't one dimensional.
Steve bilman "Who wouldn't shoot Bad"
Once again, you're comparing him to the average superstar, that's basically my whole point.
Gloomygl 1 You named three HOF as if they were benchwarmers lmao. The Celtics had 4 HOF. Kobe had Pau (top 10 pf at the time) and Odom (a lesser draymond green) ".
Im glad you talked about how everyone had a horrible offensive night in game 7 and that Kobe had two clutch offensive plays that game. The change he made that night was baiting out double teams and passing to the open player. He didnt get many assists, but he put his offense in foul position, which is how vast majority of lakers points were scored. And this led to the ron artest 3.
Celtics fully expected kobe to ball hog, but he matured and he used it to his advantage.
legacy wise mj is the goat. stat wise lebron is he goat. and basketball skill and talent wise kobe is the goat.
Considering Kobe copied Jordan. Jordan is still the goat in that department and in terms of stats wilt and Kareem take the cake
Goat video
Still can't believe the Celtics lost that game
LeBron is the definition of greatness. #cavsforever every body shot horribly and the Lakers capitalized on some key plays down the stretch
New Royal. Celtics were up 14 at one point
LeBron is the definition of greatness. Remember watching that series as a 8 year old praying Boston would win
Great video and I haven't even watched it yet
Any support from anyone would really help me out right now....:)
JakeDeMamba love ur vids man
John Higgins thank you so much bruh
You make great videos.
Goatbrook thank you so much g
2010 was the same year I start watching basketball
2nd most dominant force in the game in Shaq* Wilt number 1
Dos Necklace Nah Wilt doesnt count if Shaq played in that era than he wouldve put up better numbers than Wilt.
nah. check stories on wilt. He was wayyyy ahead of his time and would've dominated shaq if they played against each other
Dos Necklace I suppose, Wilt was more athletic and had better defense.
Wilt was an offensive monster. He was constantly doubled teamed and tripled teamed just to try and stop him from scoring. Wilt was the best all around player. And for his size, I can see why people deny why he was the greatest center of all time
Dos Necklace Most people doubt his accomplishments because the era he played in nowadays you have stuff like the 3 second rule.
The outro always gives me chills
What worse the nets or 2k servers or my unoriginal joke

When ur phone not allowed on the table but Dom posts
Dom should make a video ranking his top 10 best nba players in his opinion
LeBron loses against the Mavs: choker
Kobe gets swept by those Mavs: GOAT
🤦♂️
Seriously? How does that make sense? If you were watching the playoffs then youd know that Lakers was fatigue from last series against hornets and chemistry was not at their best. On the other hand, Miami was a heavy heavy favourite. There really was no excuse for losing.
Yu Zuck But it doesn't matter Kobe Is Kobe Doe. ain't that what y'all do to LeBron?
Post Fade - The Heat was a much better team than the Lakers lol try again
Djthegamer988 theyvwere but lakers were the defending champs
Aztec Empire proven how?
This goes out to show you that Kobe would do anything to get a win. Kobe is a fucking beast when it comes to do anything to get his team a W. this is something we will never see again. MJ & Kobe the 2 greatest to ever touch a Basketball.
If you ask me Ron Artest saved Kobes ass In Game 7 of the finals.. #dooleyduzz
you all hate couse Kobe's the one of the greatests )))
If fisher doesn't tie up game 4 vs Orlando who knows how that series turns out..or if Horry misses vs kings or kg never got hurt...also we all saw artest bail Kobe out in 2010 west finals vs suns game 5 didnt ee after he air balled the game winner
Asmosis Jones and if elephants had wings they wouldnt b scared of mice a whole bunch of what ifs lol
Also, kobe had a broken finger in that game 7 against Boston, which definitely affected his shot. Also that orlando team was a better overall team than those sixer and nets teams, and was probably the 2nd best team he played in the finals behind those Boston teams.

He was better than Russell, O'Neal, Duncan, and Bryant at least.
Wilt is number 1 and it's not even close

Keith Nandin Kobe is on there foh
Keith Nandin got 5 rings more than most your list you smoking bro
Switch Lebron and Kareem and put Kobe at #10 and your list is solid. I do think Kobe gets overrated but I would take him over the Big O.
Keith Nandin 5>3
Xavier Vega Foh, Kobe is top 15
RIP to a true legend
2009 was the year we were supposed to see Kobe vs LeBron in The Finals..
Difference between Kobe and Bron is that Mamba could go 6/24 and still win the chip. Kobe won despite a potential legacy ruining game but if Lebron has/had a bad game his team gets killed. Imo that proves who's truly better.
MJ still the goat so don't come here with that bs. When Kobe or Bron can get 6, we'll talk.
That puts Kobe out the discussion and Bron is half way there.
Bruce Wayne69 The difference? Kobe got carried. LeBron never got carried to a ring.
Celtics Fan Since August 23, 2017 KySexual #11 lol lebron had bosh and wade also they were young in there primes he got help facts
jacob averds I love DWade, but his knees age in dog years
stealthiscool Shaq, Pau Gasol, etc.
That makes no sense. If Kobe could go 6/24 but still win, and Lebron had to carry his team or else they would lose, that means Kobe has had the better teams than Lebron. Which means that Lebron has had to work with less and carry most of the load himself. If anything, that proves that Lebron is better. Congratulations. You played yourself

Darrel Be Bill Russell should never be taken to consideration because he's Pre-NBA merger, Post NBA merger was more teams and more competition.
Fax
Darrel Be Garbage list.
MicroWavy More teams, less concentration of talent on those teams. Just because he wasn't modern doesn't make him any less great. Bill was a monumental athlete not only for his success/dominance on the court but off of the court also. Greatest defender and rebounder in the games history as well as its best leader. People need to actually research pre-80's NBA and understand the dynamics of what the games was then
Chivo oh cool, an opinion...
That game was a grindfest. It had the most tension in an nba finals game I've ever seen and was one of the best. Don't forget Kobe would have threepeated if it hadn't been for Boston's superteam.
