I wished tmac's career lasted longer
+Sam Me too!
I'm Rockets fan and my favorite player was and is Tracy McGrady...
Sam yahh me too
As do I.
If him and yao weren't screwed by injuries they would of been The shaq and Kobe combo of the later 2ks......I totally forgot t Mac git so many bloammmmmm me
Ahh man i miss T-Mac so much, theres never gonna be someone playing like him
Terrence 32 T-Mac was nothing. I'll take Durant, Michael, Kobe, and Goerge Gervin over him anyday.
Jacob Morton yeah sure, tmac would school durant
Tmac play basketball very elegant
i like this style
Paul George is the resurrection of tmac
this is the man kobe looked at as an equal on the court
@@camfoxbuxton he did, he also said Tmac is his toughest defender
@@camfoxbuxton actually, yes you dumbass.
@@DM-yi1ur not toughest defender. He said he was his toughest opponent.
Never as an equal lol just his toughest opponen3
Kobe The Excuse Mamba
There's something about the NBA that looked so much more beautiful to me when players didn't hide behind the 3 part line no matter what
Wasn’t as efficient unfortunately
Todays NBA is weak, defenseless and pussified. Unwatchable.
Adam Eustachy that’s why you cant make it huh
That's a fact the game will always start n end in that paint
@@Euzebinio i think u went to far the game never changes just the players
Really wish injuries hadn't cut T-Mac's prime short...
+Jonathan Foy he was on track to be one of the best
So true-now Kobe and T-Mac are gone.. At least we still have 2k...
Jonathan Foy h
Really wish kobe hadn't cut T-Mac's and Yao injuries
Bro he could’ve easily got 25,000 points.
My boi TMAC playing like it's another walk at the park:) his game was so smooth.
2 of the best to ever do it. Period
@Luke Dougherty yeet.
Kevin Durant is not better than TMac was in 2003.
@@TheMrKobeBryant2012 i don't think he was either
It's easier to get a ring now a days if you're an all star level player. The league wants you to win one to bring in more revenue.
8:22 lol!!! kobe really smacked the floor on tmac
Lol I guess no one told you he was a killer
t-mac doesn't get as much credit as he deserves he's a fucking monster
Yeah idc what nobody say he's one of the greatest if he stayed healthy he'd be top 20 for sure just wished he had Kobes toughness
Ronnie Alston top 10 easily
@@Stonecoldalston he did have Kobe's toughness, Just played with way worse teams. Not on defense but Didn't get to play with Shaq or great role players.
@@brentw0681 nah the injures T mac Sat with Kobe played through not only that but the mental toughness even when Kobe has them years playing with Smush and Kwame he never folded T mac on the other hand stopped going as hard at a point he was defeated
Tmac is too smooth
People always say that Kobe is a carbon copy of MJ, but I've always thought of T-Mac as very similar to both MJ and Kobe in their play style (all of them are very athletic, have great mid range shots, and can finish over anyone)
Look at kobes team... Rooney turiaf, Luke Walton, Devon George, injured odom, young Bynum, fisher. He still went to the playoffs in the ever so tough western conference and took Phoenix to 7 games. If yall really think mac was better u smokin some serious dope.
John Montgomery if the uploader put the date correct, then its not 06 season to which you are refering to, its 08 where kobe actually made to the finals and lost to celtics in 6
That was the year when the Lakers aquired Pau Gasol via trade and made it to the finals to face Boston Celtics.
I stand corrected... Even still this team wit Gasol still is just ok.
Pau gasol andrew Bynum odom fisher this team was far better than ok
Young Bynum, not the All Star in 2012. Gasol was an All Star, Odom was a great starter, and Fisher wasn't a great player but his leadership and clutch performances make him a very good addition.
Solid team.
t mac was unstoppable one on one when he was healthy.
Damn. T-Mac coulda been the goat.
t mac had 8 great years 2001-2010...so did kobrick...yet we act like kobitch is so much better lol
+razkable Tmac only had about 4 or 5 years plus he never past the first round until he rode the Spurs's bench
+razkable Tmac only had about 4 or 5 years plus he never past the first round until he rode the Spurs's bench
+razkable kobrick has 5 rings 😋no offense to tmac tho
+razkable bro Kobe was still good all the way until the Achilles injury in 2013 t Mac stopper being good in 09 and still never made it out the first round t mac was colds but not as cold as Kobe
Imagine Tmac and Rose (both with stronger limbs of course) in their prime on the same team, unstoppable
Especially rosr
this comment gave me nightmares
AI , Tmac and Kobe were those kinda players that could take over a game and just start a one man show. You don`t see that a lot anymore. Westbrook is kinda like that right now thats why i enjoy watching him so much.
giehlemanns I was thinking the same thing. I guess these past few years we have LeBron, Carmelo, Durant and Westbrook / Harden. But I would rather watch AI, Kobe, TMac, and a prime Wade for sure.
xusurper True. And I get tired of watching Harden & LeBron intentionally run into their defenders & get bailed out with free throws.
xusurper I couldn't agree more.
rockafelladw boyy haha that is the most true thing i heard today
xusurper I wouldn't put harden in a league with the other scorers you mentioned. I have to respect his point totals, but man the foul hunting really bothers me. Probably because there's always that one guy who doesn't stop calling fouls during a pickup game. Regardless he doesn't have the skill set to put him as a great scorer I don't feel
Kobe guards t Mac but Shane has to gaurd Kobe
+Anthony Rodriguez becuase shane battier is a better defender than tmac
+Anthony Rodriguez t-mac actually made kobe miss more than kobe making t-mac miss career wise. also. they both made the exact same number of FG on eachother career wise. kobe just shot like 5-10 more shots to equal the FG made with tmac. so this just shows how great t-mac was offensively. able to score against top defender. watch "tracy mcgrady vs kobe bryant: the rivalry" is my video :) youll enjoy it
+SourishWhale tmac guarded the best player usually because he had no great defensive player. kobe had solid defensers like rick fox and carol butler. and kobe didn't always guard tmac by the way. the only game where tmac and kobe guarded eachother most of the game was when they each scored 38pts.
+SourishWhale thtlatbwas 06-07. tmac joined 04-05. haha. you think david wesley or luther head is guarding kobe? hahaha
+SourishWhale thtlatbwas 06-07. tmac joined 04-05. haha. you think david wesley or luther head is guarding kobe? hahaha
don't want to sound like a hater but kobe got a lot of questionable calls
NbaNewGeneration Nothing new for Kobe.
I saw alot of contact everytime he went to the rim
Dang Prince, get Kobe's nut out of your mouth 💦
NbaNewGeneration So did Jordan, Bird, Bron, magic, Durant, Dominique, Pierce etc.
NbaNewGeneration bro he played a whole season with a broken finger, ice baths, cryo therapy,.. basically played the entire 09' season in the physical therapist office. Don't get it twisted these "quesetionable calls" was a huge beating on his body
1:40 Kwame actually made a dunk.
+Adrian Flores Hahahahhah cmon guys xD
Of course the GOAT could dunk
Bryant and Brown scored together 82 points against Raptors in 2006. #facts
Marcos Villavicencio *84 points
He has small hands still
Kobe the best player Nba has ever seen.
cadroy What the fuck are you smoking?
Kobe is not even the greatest shooting guard of all time wtf is wrong with you?
Wealthy gamer Not really an opinion. He stated it as if it were a fact. Our favorite player is not necessarily the greatest.
Wealthy gamer I agree on that but Kobe is not one of them.
Wealthy gamer Definetely and will make it to the hall soon.
4:52 Kobe is taking a baseline fadeaway off two feet over the entire Rockets team haha. I mean, this is clearly a pass situation unless you are a pathological competitor. Plus of course he makes it.
both of them have very similar moves and styles... the both emulate each others flawless techniques...
Tmac dunked on kobe...😀
Yeah kobe was under the rim lmfao
Shawn Adams (thinking dunking on someone means posterizing) not really...but whatever, when you dunk on someone that person is 99% of the time under or at most half way from free throw line and rim. Can you imagine a player dunking on someone standing at the free throw line? that's never happened, would never happen, and it would be stupid considering one of them will be hurt...also you wouldn't be able to finish the dunk.
StarveBox_One
T
Even Kobe said "T-Mac is the toughest opponent he has ever faced". A healthy T-Mac is a beast!!
The smoothest player in NBA history
Kobe gets 26 fts this game no one says anything. Harden gets 12 everyone flips their shit.
Can't complain about a game that already happened. Besides, Kobe isn't always looking for the foul when he plays.
No it's just every great player gets calls and goes to the line. I don't get the hate. If kobe wasn't looking for the call then the refs are giving it to him regardless. We all know what harden tries to do but no one is able to stop him from doing it.
2deeZproductions don't compare Kobe Bean Bryant to him ever again. I mean ever.
What do you mean Kobe doesn't go for fouls? He goes right into his defender after he gets them with a head fake just so he can get to the line.
2deeZproductions Well this did happen almost 8 years ago.
just love how T-Mac chews gum while playing
Kobe was a dawg. One of the greatest of all time. RIP Kobe, Gigi and 7 other people in the helicopter 💔
Imagine if Kobe didn't have to be the best perimeter defender on his team for most of his prime years! Would of had way more energy on offense.
+Johnnyboy231000 I was just thinking the same thing. I was watching a few Kobe V T-Mac vids and you see for most of the game Kobe is defending T-Mac, but T-Mac was rarely on Kobe. Most of the time it was Grant Hill, Shane Battier or someone else on Kobe. This game they had Bynum not in & LO hurt so they had Walton on T-Mac & it really is one of the better games he had vs the Lakers.
People say T Mac was injury prone but does that take away how much work this guy did during his career? Yes because he was part of a fucked up league that only praises you if you abide by their rules and win rings
ReggieHaynesTv well said
ReggieHaynesTv All of those stop-and-go's fucked those legs up. But I really wish he was healthier
Kacey Y.
True. And we all do my friend, we all do.
ReggieHaynesTv Oh the mr first rd guy? How pathetic was he in po i mean come on 1 year they had good record and went out first rd he was even crying lol in the presser after he guaranteed theyd go too 2nd rd. He was allergic to even the 2nd round let that sink in, worst than Cp3 in the post season and that is saying something, do not give me bad teams, Tmac was regular in the playoffs but always going home early.
colin reed Just what I was waiting on thank God. First off colin in that year they advanced they played a trash ass Portland team. And in his allergic years what other star did he have on his team Colin? Waiting...... I swear to God if you say Yao Ming I'm going to slap the shit out of you. Cp3 had other stars Colin. T Mac didn't have shit. To go far in the NBA people have multiple stars when this guy was on his own. Carrying a team doing damn near everything. Look back at his teammates during his playoff years and let me know how many other super stars or all stars played with him (in their prime). I already know you're going to say an ignorant comment so I'll be waiting.
Took Kobe 17 shots to get 19 points...Damn
Bonk Caesar
To give you a quick summary regarding the negatives of Kobe’s shooting/ scoring here’s some records that Kobe Bryant holds:
First all-time in total missed shots in the regular season.
All-time leader in missed shots in the playoffs
All-time leader in missed shots when you combine the regular season and playoffs
Most missed game winners and buzzer beaters
Only Finals MVP not to shoot above 50% in a single finals game (did this both in 2009 and 2010)Worst shooting performance by any NBA finals MVP in history (40%)
Out of the top 20 players in points per game all time, the only player from the modern era with a lower career FG% than Kobe is Iverson
There are only 13 games in NBA history where someone has scored 50 points or more on sub 50% shooting, Kobe is responsible for 7 of those 13 games
.Only 5 players in NBA history have missed over 2,000 more shots than they’ve made; Allen Iverson, Bob Petit, John Havlicek, Elvin Hayes and Kobe Bryant.
Kobe hold the record for most consecutive NBA Finals games shooting under 50% (15)
+LeGOAT James Better than Kobe lebron is still 2-4 in the finals....
Yung Tre Ok, and? LeBron is stilll 14-6 against Kobe
+LeGOAT James Better than Kobe shit the fuck up, nobody asked you to say ask that shit, why you hating, go on a lebron video
+LeGOAT James Better than Kobe how many shots Lebron took in the finals though?
2:45 Nice D by the GOAT Kwame Brown
Yea D up yo gay ass nigga
T mac was definitely on the same level as Kobe was back there. You know its fair to say that he's better actually. It's just that Kobe worked so hard that his improvement closed the gap between them real fast and that Tmac's injury affected him so much that his supposedly years of playing in his prime shorten. I mean If I could only imagine how a healthy Tracy's career could've been. Kobe knew this, he even admitted it. And that serves as a motivation for him.
kobe was always better nigga...
no lol dont give out false information... kobe only said tmac was the toughest to deal with. lol at "kobe worked so hard to close the gap". you talk like there was a really real big difference between the two of them. ever since 2000 tmac and kobe had been considered two best one on one players. their match ups were always one of the most anticipated because no one could predict the result. sometimes when tmac was out of the playoffs and they played kobe on iso balls because shaq was on the bench or in foul trouble, kobe was even called the best one on one player in the world. 2006 kobe with 62 points in 3 quarters, 81 points game or 2007 kobe with 4 consecutive over 50 points wouldnt be scared of any tmac in prime, perfect health or whatnot, dont forget he won his mvp in 2008 :/ dont say these numbers are juat about scoring because tmac game is built around his offensive skils and tmac rpg and apg mostly are similiar to kobes (around 5 5) but injuries later dropped his ppg to 19. thats why tmac was up there with kobe too. his injuries didnt keep him reach the peak of his game but rather it kept his prime short enough to diminish his and the team thata built around him any chance of winning a championship. we've seen prime tmac. and i dont see any gap that prime kobe would had to work so hard to cover gaps when tmac was out because of injuries lol
also tmac was never a defender kobe was. he rarely tried to d up. kobe was the best perimeter defender on his team for years and had to guard best offensive players on other teams a lot (paul pierce, ray allen, lebron, vince carter, ...)
Man...the good ass days... My favorite player #TMAC #LongLiveKobe
Man it’s so sad how looking back he legit was destroying EVERYONE he came in contact with one on one
Damn, this was the start of the Lakers 3 finals appearances in a row. The funny thing is no one expected them to be that good. That same summer Kobe was asking to be traded, the only major signing was the return of Derek Fisher, and they still had Kwame and a improving Bynum. It was a really a crazy season.

Before his injuries, Tmac was guarding Kobe well. Defensively, Tmac was the best on Kobe, he was familiar with Kobe Bryant's habits and techniques, because they are very similar players. Kobe openly admitted before that Tmac was hard to guard for him, because during Tracy's prime athletic Orlando days, he was essentially Kobe Bryant with a higher vertical, which is why while Tracy can follow most of Kobe's moves and occasionally block his jumpshot, Kobe couldn't reach the peak of Tracy's jumpshot, and so was at a disadvantage. Physically, Tracy was gifted enough to beat out Kobe in the same game. Kobe's work ethic and dedication to the game though, is no joke, dude didn't let some intangible like height and wingspan get in his way, still competed at Tmac full-force and matched him despite the disadvantage. Both of them are legendary, and it's a shame we weren't gifted with more of this rivalry due to the misfortunate career that Tmac had.
Lmao Kobe is a better player than all 3 of them especially defensively
Christopher Mckinney Nope.
ThePlaterism T-Mac was a better 3 point shooter, rebounder, he was also on the same level as Kobe defensively. T-Mac also took better care of the ball.
ThePlaterism T-Mac had more assists per turnover, this clearly shows that he took better care of the ball, 0.8 less turnovers than Kobe which is nearly less than 1 whole turnover per game. Turnovers can decide a game so T-Mac would be the obvious choice.
ThePlaterism impact decides a game, and Kobe had a greater impact. So quit using stats here to determine impact for stats are trivial when it comes to impact you buffoon.
CbKsbestHitman Am I that funny?
still remember how these two guys' duel when tmac were playing at Magic. They showed their anticipation and passion. Lots of physical contact, eager to play hard on each other. ofc combined good technique and skills.
But after all these years, when they met each other again at a much more mature period of their career, they were really showing something beautiful and elegance by their own moves. Less explosive, more skills and easy shot, which only great talents can make it easy on eyes but efficiency on the scoreboard.
in my own opinion, there won't be any duels after this two guys. the duels perfectly matched on talent, skills, and wisdom
then shut the f up.
A healthy T-Mac will own Kobe and Lebron all day.
Yea but that's in fantasy world he never was healthy like that
+trapnig313 be fa real Bruh
+bart simpson i wanna see a 1 on 1 of the 07-08 t-mac vs the 07-08 kobe all we need in 2k17 is the 07-08 lakers for that to happen
Lol ur dum. Kobe guarded T-Mac on D. T-Mac wouldn't dare guard Kobe.
+jifyum07 Kobe was better at this time. T-Mac was declining fast
Tmac could have been one of the greatest. During my teen years, loved watching him played. Watched almost everyone of his games.
1:53 Kwame Brown catching the ball? Is this a fake video?
😂😂😂😂
you ain't no Kwame Brown baby
Cashnasty's favorite doll he's the GOAT
If he is playing now, he can beat warriors, like happen is spurs,13 points in 33 seconds, the best scorer of all time Tracy McGrady
T-Mac was a much better team player. He passes ball and makes plays.
Ariunbayar Demberel this made me laugh. It’s weird how shot more shots and a lower percentage while Kobe also avg about the same assist.
Exactly
U could Kobe didn't trust his teammates much, look at 6:40-7:00 on the fast breaks he should've passed ahead, but instead kept the ball. Later Kobe finally got some pieces and learned to pass better and trust his teammates and that's how he won his rings with the Pau Gasol era
At 4:25 T mac yammed on kobe 😂😂
The last couple minutes of this video gave me goosebumps lol
Y'all arguing about whose better between TMac and Kobe, but you guys forgot the real GOAT.....KWAME BROWNN
Hell of a game. God damn. I thought Kobe was going to sink the dagger in for sure. What a competitor. On top of that, my first time really seeing McGrady play besides his 13 points in 35 seconds video. Stunned at what a great perimeter shooter he was, with the crazy turnaround J's. The dunk toward 75% through the video was sick too. Wish I could have seen more of him in my prime. Feeling like I missed out on his era.
the good old times
I watched the live in 13 years ago , just like yesterday
Damn Kobe used to get every call...27 free throws!! 💀
it’s called home court advantage. in the road kobe got zero calls
That drop off pass from skip to mcgrady on the fastbreak in the 3rd quarter was nasty!
RIP🖤🐍
T-Mac put Kobe in a poster... With the left hand..
yeah he did. bet kobe had nightmares on that.
If that’s a poster than we have changed the definition of what a poster is
I always loved the duels these 2 had. Kobe was my Jordan growing up even though Jordan got me into NBA (I was only 6 at the time so didn't have a great understanding of the game at that age) and T.Mac was definitely up there on my fav/top list back then. Wish his career didn't end like that.
McGrady.. along w/ Hill.. Such missed potential
Too many stories in the NBA end that way.
Well many people say T-mac a failure LOL. I would like to be that "missed potential": almost 1000 career games played. 7 NBA all star. 3 time nba scoring champion. NBA most Improved player. 18.000 points. more than 200 mil dolars earnings (endorsment and contracts). One of the best NBA superstar for almost a decade. OH yes what a failure. LOL. well let me be that failure ....Pleaaaaaseeee.
please two incomparable situations, Tmac had a good career, grant had a shit one.
+Fariko Frizz he was...unfortunately injuries and father time got in the way. most people never witnessed G-hill's greatness. if he had been healthy he and T-mac may have gotten a couple in Orlando together.
+Christian 0000 wouldn't say shit his first 4-5 years was great & his Phoenix years he was good just not as great as he would of been without the injury
Classic performance from 2 elite players.
why kobe was mad he didn't get those calls at the end? nigga had 26 free throws the whole game, that little tap at the end wasn't a foul like most of those calls
Whereas t-mac could barely get any FTS in big games or against certain teams. like the spurs he would NEVER get Fts it's just insane. T-mac has often hinted at david stern setting up series against him because they don't want low seeds to beat the high seeds. When he was with orlando. and yao getting moving screen calls all the damn time in 2005 in the 2nd half of the series while every other team was doing the same damn thing.
Tmac lost the ball on 3 conservative possession's.
Sometimes he didnt have the guts it took to take a title.
Very talented though!
Man kobe going against t-mac was always exciting to watch,I felt like they brung the best outta each other every time they was in the court together.RIP kobe the GOAT🐍🐐😔
Kobe stays complaining to the refs even though he gets more calls than any player ini the NBA lol.
I See Kobe Bryant is Missing Game Tying 3 Point Triple Shot Can't Beat at a Buzzer But Will Not Go To 1 OT is a Foul with 3 Free Throw Shoot from Kb.
Did LeBron and James Harden die?
Matthew Gonzalez Nope! 3x I'm Not Say That Lbj Die I'm Quietly Please!.
+Matthew Gonzalez lmaoo
You wish Kobe dose get calls but lebron bum rushes the basket 90% of the time runs into dudes gets calls and don't even get me started on harden
"Kobe is 9-26."
Lmfao
***** That's called the Kobe special He's the only guy who can get 25 free throw attempts... in three quarters! How bout them refs?
Obviously with the hack-A-Kobe tactics
***** He also missed 9 of them, great player...
Moonsorrow Still shot a better percentage than T-Mac :)
Moonsorrow yeah but he brought the lakers back from 12 points in under 2 mins.
T-mac is the best when healthy!
man i didnt think that this season would end up in a final appearance for the lakers o.O
Classic Kobe. Not passing SHIT LMAO
Exactly lol he only passed the ball once during the whole game
did you guys even watch the vid? lol
+Kaori Miyazono yeah I did. Lol I'm commenting on shot selections that even middle school kids can point out wasn't a great selection. Not a big fan of selfish basketball so early in the game.
+Brother Salomon ok then lol
he had 5 assist
You can see how much Kobe want to win.
T-Mac better player, Kobe better career.
Murglemufflin Jones Yes.
Definitely
lol
Murglemufflin Jones It's not debatable.
ThePlaterism I agree....everything T-Mac had came naturally
i love what t-mac did helping kobe standing up. 0:43 .
Fun Fact:
Everytime Kobe and Tmac played one on one, Kobe used to destroy him everytime. Look it up
u dumb they barely guarded eachother but whenever kobe would guard tmac i remember tmac making kobe look silly
+jorgecortez98 you an idiot. they played one on one multiple times and Kobe destroyed him everytime. Tmac even faked a back injury the third time they played one on one. Look it up dumbass. Eye witnesses and people who were there already stated that
+blackcobra1981 you dumb as hell tmac would make kobe look dumb as hell when they would guard eachother kobe is not stoping tmac
+jorgecortez98 look up the info when they played one on one idiot. Im not making shit up. Kobe used to destroy him one on one. Dumbass
+jorgecortez98 you probably just started watching the nba. Stick to your NBA 2k and Call of duty games
Miss those days, what could have been if T-Mac was always healthy, those eyes, so cold, no pressure. Just like a guy doing his thing effortless. Seeing this and now Kobes' gone. Nba was kinda diffirent from 2000-2009. Now, everyone is shooting 3's and alot of dribble. It's a thing of beauty when you see T-Mac run through those screens and just catch and shoot the ball. RiP black Mamba
If TMAC hadnt been injured would he have been better than Kobe?
Imagine if Kobe himself hadn't been injured so much himself. Remember the 2003/4 knee injury?
Learn&teach2Learn What makes Kobe better is he fought through injuries lesser players couldn't.
What you mean by that? All injuries are not the same, t-mac had back to back knee injury 4 knee surgeries in 3 years chronic back pain, and a fucked up shoulder. He had to remove swelling and liquid from his shoulder and knee before games several times in his last few years. He played the damn 2002 playoffs with backspams PLAYED Most people can't even fucking stand when that shit hits them. 2008 he played with a bandaged shoulder, and knee. the man was limping around but still carried a rockets team with a 38% fg having ass rafer alston was the 2nd best player and he DRAGGED them to a game 7. outha here

kobe fans never want to admit the truth. everyone acts like kobe won all his champs on his own. that's not true at all, except for 2002 he won that champ fair and square...cough
this is what really went down. this is the story the mass media don't want you to know because they got to sell the product.
kobe never won a champ without a allstar center, Phil Jackson, AND Jerry West pulling all the levers behind the curtains Wizard of Oz style. take any of these out of the equation and he doesn't even get out of the first round. don't believe me do your homework
with the lakers dealing with post Kareem and Magic show times lakers dynasty
Jerry "The Logo" West was able to talk Shaquille O'neal into leaving The Orlando Magic and trade for Kobe Bryant to be his wingman and left the lakers Mitch kupcake in good hands. Kobe who was going to be no one's wing man runs off shaq (squeakiest wheel gets the oil) and sounded like your typical bitch after a bad breakup
Kobe-"I'm independent"
next three years he doesn't even get out of the first Rd. we get to see what kobe really was, a high volume scorer hell bent on catching Michael Jordan. Then he demands trade to Clippers in response The lakers (with my best straight face on) trade kwame brown, second round 48th draft pick, and 2 throw in to Memphis for a current allstar center in Pau Gasol. and who is the guy in the Memphis management that helped this lopsided trade go through?
none other than Jerry "The Logo" West himself. the same guy who created the Shaq kobe duo. he had to fix the lakers fuck up by sending another allstar center to kobe rescue. luckily Memphis second pick rights turned out pretty damn good in Marc Gasol.
"What they did in Memphis is beyond comprehension," said Popovich. "There should be a trade committee that can scratch all trades that make no sense. I just wish I had been on a trade committee that oversees NBA trades. I'd like to elect myself to that committee. I would have voted no to the L.A. trade."- Gregg Popovich
Now Jerry West is with the Golden State Warriors and played a key role in getting Kevin Durant to sellout and leave OKC which I disagree with but is at the same time sweet justice to me because Oklahoma had no business stealing a franchise from Seattle to begin with. suck it okc yall stole a legend franchise and lost James Harden and Kevin Durant. karma
Kobe had help with his champ...lots of help. and anyone who is in denial about the truth and think ignorance is bliss be careful because ignorance can turn into arrogance very easily
kobe wasnt even consider the best sg until Michael Jordan retired and Tracy Mcgrady got hurt
the dude Your argument can be summed up like this: "Kobe would have never won so many championships without Shaq/Gasol". You people who continue to use this argument realize basketball is a team sport? I could make the same case for ANY championship performer, it still would be an extremely weak argument. Let's look at some championship performers who are all as talented as T-Mac whom all has at least one all-star partner, just like TMac did in Houston: Magic, Olajuwon, Shaq, MJ, LeBron, KG, Duncan, Wade... Do you think they could have won without their all star teammates? No. Are they still top 10-20 players of all time? Yes. You see how that argument makes no sense?
I'll leave it at this: all the greats (including AI, Shaq, LeBron, T-Mac, VC) agree that MJ and Kobe are two of the greatest skilled basketball players. And that's in spite of Kobe's injuries. So there's really no argument.
A dunk move that I maybe saw but once and that came from M.J when he returned against the magic playoff series in 95 and that is and off handed go around dunk by Trace McGrady at the 4:29 mark-very NICE!!!
T mac was good in his prime but he was never better then Kobe yall need to stop it.
stop it
you should watch 2002-03 03-04 games my friend
T mac was my favorite player period, but he never put in the work that Kobe did. Talent wise it's damn close, may give mac the nod just being taller, but he faded when it count.
TMac was a better playmaker than Kobe. He passed better and more often. He wasn't the Gunner Kobe was. They had similar talent.
To be honest Kobe played in LA, was selfish and most importantly stayed healthy. His career ranks over McGrady but they were close.
starting 5 all time in their prime.

Tmac scoring effortlesly while kobe taking too many shots
Who the fuck else was gunna shoot it? Look at who he’s playing with.
This comment isn’t it
@@tittfestx3doesn’t matter , kobe had teammates and didn’t and still took a million shots .
@@jayentv6264
5 rings
2 finals mvps
A 3peat
Gold medal
The list goes on and on
He’s a winner
@@anthonyurso3554 tf you telling me that for ?
Can’t question T-Mac’s game but something about his shooting mechanics, in particular when he lands on one leg, makes me wonder if it led to injuries.
T-Mac can't guard Kobe.
Kobe couldn't guard tmac either
Kobe can't guard Mike Bibby
i like how you put the free throws in the bottom so we didnt waste an extra 30 seconds each time of our lives
Anybody who says T Mac's better than Kobe is dumb.
Back when Shaq Tmac Kobe Vince Carter Iverson Were Still Playing At A High level While Wade Melo Lebron Were Young & Entering their prime
kobe is kobe you cant argue with that second GOAT after MJ what he has done all those years stats rings also stolen 1-2 mvp, he is uncontested, but, if tmac didnt have that injuries and hadnt missed games he would have been really damn closer to kobe or the second versiion of kobe no one knows
Giorgi Khabazishvili Why would he be a second version of Kobe? He could of been better, just didn't have the chance.
you cant say that because fact is tmac had injuries and kobe made himself GOAT but you cant say that tmac could have been better than kb
Giorgi Khabazishvili Kobe isn't the GOAT though is he?
ThePlaterism he is the member of GOAT players....... GOATs is the list of greatest players
Great opening season game. RIP Kobe&Gigi Bryant!!
I love me so T-Mac and Kobe matchups
That's a clear foul at the end that would've put LA right back at the line for the win
That elevation and sound of the ball hitting the net @3:41
The Rockets were such a different team back then, defense oriented. Now they are a 3 point shooting team.
Wow ... bryant was unstoppable....
Two hall of famers going at it.
T-Mac deserves at least 2 rings... He's one of the greatest payers ever! if it wasn't for injuries, he'd be in the GOAT conversation.
7:37 look at the way the ball goes in
Tmac and Kobe we miss you fam 😢
7:30 starts old school hoops greatness...legends sharing the same hardwood floor...
T-Mac looking like classic Jordan with those mid range jumpers.
what shoes are t mac wearing?
They triple teamed mans at the end
Down the stretch Kobe does the Scottie Pippern Doberman defense stance (slapping the ground for mere effect and or intimidation)as McGrady is bring the ball up court; that was a wild finished!
4:05 ming with the slam then the disrespect by fisher to try n lay it up on ming getting blocked and then mcgrady with the fast-break left-handed dunk on kobe my god
Honestly Kobe has the will to win at any cost if it means bitching and moaning he will do that.. I love his fire and tenacity For the game all these people act like its a bad thing.. Tmac is great id love to see how it would've been if he never got injured but don't compare him to Kobe look back at all that Kobe has done PERIOD
