Bullshit he’s an idiol for Luciferianism... Not taking away the fact he was a great basketball player. Research who he was outside of basketball and open your EYES people 👀
I’ll say this. Kobe’s greatness is underrated by some. Too many times did I see him defensively or offensively humiliate the “great” players of today. Miss you Kobe.
when he blocked pau in the olympics off an oop and pau was trying to flop for an over the back bc he didnt know who it was....just like MAN i was just in the finals with this dude....and hes swatting me mid oop.....TF is this guy. I feel like that was when PAU finally realized just who the mamba really was like as a friend/foe etc. He finally understood the mamba mentality.
So rare nowadays to have this kind of footwork and high percentage shots in an ISO play. I'm so glad to have witnessed most of his game winning shots. RIP Mamba.
@@napoleonbonaparte1260 Doncic is 6'8" 230lb defended by 6'3" 180lb point guards. When the big boys like KD, Kawhi, PG13 etc defend him that efficiency drops.
The erostep is not a travel by an my generation standard if done correctly. But I will after that traveling is bad in today’s game. There’s literally a travel on every play when a player first gets the ball. They shuffle their feet with no dribble, stop, then shoot or dribble. It’s bad.
I watched 95+% of ALL Kobe’s games and it was a blessing to seeing him grow on the court to be one of MY GOAT’s. He was/is one of the best to ever lace them up in the league.
@@Eliras24 Kobe would literally be a nightmare in today's NBA. Like 2006-20011 Kobe would be even worse than Harden if they officiated him the same way. If you didn't have your balls on his hip he was swishing it from up to 30 feet out. So tired of people tryna act like he didn't have elite shooting ability.
@@marquisemoody6901 lol anyone would be crazy just to think Kobe had not an elite shooting ability, when he was so good at it that he could just shoot from anywhere and everywhere on the court. He just had not the help that other superstars had, when he was in his prime. As he had that only when he was still too young, and still did immensely good there. Give Kobe a Steph, Klay and Draymond, or a Bosh and Wade, and see what he could do in these years. He had his teammates, Pau was amazing, but he hadn't a super team for sure. And yet he beat one of them in Boston
@@marquisemoody6901 Those people are clowns who never actually saw Kobe but instead throw out-of-context stats around like they know what they're talking about. He was the absolute GREATEST at creating space. Even Jordan didn't create space the way Kobe could.
I can’t help but notice how much has changed with the soft refs we have now in 2021... Kobe was giving it to every defense out there and did it through heavy contact
@@henryy425 That's why guys like AI and Tony Parker who were small but scored at will are once in a generation. A small guy can make everybody pay today since that's how the game has evolved to but the 2000s were a nightmare for them.
He is the best one-on-one player of all time. Greatest period? Debatable. Fine; I'm a lifelong Kobe fan, but I'll give you that, especially if Jordan's in the conversation. But you are not telling me one on one this man wasn't the most versatile, skilled, and devastating player. He got any shot he wanted, and if he couldn't, he could find a way to score no matter what you threw at him defensively. Back to the basket, top of the key, wings, baseline, one defender, two defenders, three defenders---he just knew what to do, how to find weaknesses, and how to exploit them. The best one-to-one player ever. ever. ever.
I will never ever forget this man for as long as I live and I consider myself lucky to have watched him in his prime. When Kobe was in his pomp, it was Box Office EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Still haven't seen anything like it. You had to tune in no matter who he was playing cuz you just never knew what you might miss. Unreal player. Generational Player.
id say bird too, i see so much of larry in kobes game/drives that goes under the radar probably bc bird was a celtic. I see alot with kobes hesitation move. 24 kobe reminded me alot of bird and 2nd 3 peat jordan. From a mental standpoint and how decisive he was about willing a win. Even kobes left handed shots or mini hooks were bird esque or baylor even. Hes so emblematic of so many greats in his game its why i appreciate his tape so much
Man every time I watch kobe I seem to be amazed on how consistent and ridiculous some of these shots are... 10/10 defense against him and he will still hit the shot on him.... what a legend
Kobe was one of those rare, rare, rare players that no matter where he was on the floor, no matter who was guarding him, he could shoot and make it. His shooting hands were so soft. His footwork was just incredible. He created shots when nothing was there. He made shots when you thought you had him beat. I dont care what anyone says, he is one of the greatest of all time. Only players I would compare on his level would be kareem, Jordan, Magic and Bird. Those guys right there, could score from anywhere at anytime. The difference is Kobe would make something when nothing was there. God I miss that man.
I watched this in .25 speed for like 10 of his clips and I’m still baffled how perfect all of his footwork was and to be so confident with some of the most contested shots I’ve ever seen… crazy man
How don't know how many Sunday's Kobe had me going nuts! Sunday's just always had a bit more excitement. When he retired, I stopped watching ball. He was like the last great one, before this new era of ball started. I can't get with this new nba, it's like a different league entirely.
I stopped watching basketball after the warriors got Kevin Durant it took away the mystery of the game everybody knew no one was beating them not only that everybody started playing the same way they did just jacking up 3 pointers shit got boring quick but with the success of the bucks playing old school basketball playing defense, rebounding and getting to the line hopefully it changes back to the natural order of things
Did anyone notice on alot of plays that contact was made. He didn't flop or complain. This man put everything on the line each time he played the game. Basketball fans that attended a game he played got there money's worth. He will always be my favorite player of all time. All ballers now and in the future need to take notes. " Mamba Mentality " ✔ Laker4life)8/24
Notice he doesn’t flop once. That’s what seals his greatness. Just because a player can fill it up doesn’t make them great. It’s about carrying your fate in your own hands and executing.
I mean, let's be honest here guys: there is no Nba highlight that is as beautiful to watch as Kobe's. There is nothing like that, like seeing how every time he was able to do something that, by seeing him, seemed basically impossible to do. And yet he, EVERY TIME, did it. It's something just beyond amazing
Yeah. The NBA has become quite boring. People only throw up threes. There are only a couple of players who actually are worth watching one on one. Most dont have the skillset to play like Kobe and when they do they are like 30%. Kobe while taking those hard/bad shots still managed 45% percent fg.
@@hallarzarubin9493 yeah. I like Luka 'cause he does trick shots and hard stuff to do for this reason. And with those crazy buzzer beaters at his age. He's new era player, but is the only one who can give me somewhat similar vibes Kobe gave. And yet he's still not there yet. I can say i'm lucky cause i was able to witness a lot of Kobe's prime, back then. Incredible player, someone who never let you down, whatever it could be his night
Compilation of Kobe vs practically every THE BEST DEFENSIVE WING player ON THAT TEAM in 20 years. But your call is a great point. They all tried and did their best. LBJ in his prime, G.Hill in Phoenix was a great defender; Tony Allen; Batier, Marion... "Who's who" in maybe the toughest times for offensive wings (pro-sports, pro-defensive schemes, start of analytics; hand checking...). Nothing could've been done better by defenders or harder for offensive players. And still.
I never get sick of watching this moves and plays of Kobe again and again. Great defense is nothing for him. Taking crucial shots after crucial shots and making them. So graceful spinning and fadeaways! And the killer instinct only him, MJ and Reggie Miller has.Rest In Peace Mamba! #MAmba4Life #KB24 #GOAT
@@BeefyTime1 @BeefyTime1 hahaha. Really? Why would I compare him to Steve Nash? Silly! How bout MJ? Which he learned almost every thing. I have no problem if you love him..but to say he's the greatest offensive player of all time? Really? Hahaha. If he's that, then what would Jordan be? (the GOAT) I'm almost 50 dude. I've seen the NBA for 4 decades. How old are you? Millenial? Lol, if you are, then I couldn't blame you. Ain't your fault.
Still can't believe people disrespect Kobe and say he isn't even Top 5. Kobe is definitely top 3 for me. But people be putting Bird over Kobe lol... The hate is too real. Kobe literally could do everything. He doesn't rely on 1 single aspect of the game like many players today. (Steph and his 3s, Giannis and his paint game.) Kobe was literally the most well rounded player ever. I really wish Kobe was still alive.. LONG LIVE KOBE BEAN BRYANT! YOUR LEGACY WON'T BE FORGOTTEN.
I think all the GREATS could compete with MJ in a series. But I guess you mean Kobe would be one of few players up for the challenge to defend MJ a whole series.
Not really cause kobe lived out his carrear until his retirement, we never really saw prime pac because he died when he was really young RIP to the two goats 🙏🙏
The one and only black mamba. Watching this man play basketball is like watching an artist paint the most beautiful portraits. You will always be in my heart Kobe, you inspire me to be better at everything I do.
@@jermaineartis4323 exactly. Stupid James Harden to blame. His infamous foul call for 4-step back against the Jazz made it clear that everyone can get away with travel.
I'm not sure if they had this rule back then but when harden does it he has a gather step and that's the step back. So he dribbles back while stepping back which is the gather, and then when he lands it's 1-2 no travel cause it's a 3 step to travel.
@@studiouswadoo5027 gather step for lay up (aka euro step) or dunk attempt is fine. But for shooting fade away / 3 pt is just an aweful travel. Fun fact is if you do gather then 2steps (both feet on ground) then layup they will call travel. Go figure.
Just dawned on me that Kobe Bryant hit the same turn around fadeaway on Michael Jordan and Lebron James. Like cmon man literally no one else can say that.
What a joy it was for me to have watched him for his entire career. R.I.P. Kobe Bean Bryant a.k.a. The Black Mamba. Now you are entertaining the Angels up above.
@@geordiejones5618 he was talking about one on one. Lmao. I can agree with you that LeBron can beat Kobe in a team game. But never on ONE ON ONE. FG PERCENTAGE everytime they guard each other Kobe: 52% Lebron: 27%
It's amazing how much he modeled his playstyle after Jordan. He openly admitted it as well. Served him well because I have him and MJ as my top 2 guards of all time.
He was just unbelievable. His work ethic and ability to silence all doubters was what I liked most about him. He was determined to win at all cost. I've never seen a player better. Hands down. Kobe 4 Life
that first play is the coldest shit i’ve ever seen. he let his defender regroup to come back and guard him, then scored on him and got an and1 on a jumper nah kobe might be the greatest to ever do it
if i have to bet on someone in 1 on 1, 100% i will go with Kobe, every play u see is just him isolate and score, No screen no help pretty much just him and the other player. RIP Kobe,
Watched every game of these moments came from, and I feel he's there all the time. I still dont believe he's gone. He's just somewhere on his road trip, man, seriously. Best in my life and many others

The most aesthetic shooter/finisher of all time!
I counted ,3, pass to the back board to himself , makes .
Tmac did it once LBJ has done it but Kobes looked the best.
he been doing this thousands of time during practice, all his shot was just one of them. He showed us how dedication can truly elevate one's limit
The shots Kobe used to make couldnt be defended any better. Complete hand in Kobes face or defender literally giving him high fives.
And in today's Nba 3/4 of his shot's would've been called for and 1 for not giving him the landing space too

Still can't believe people disrespect Kobe and say he isn't even Top 5. Kobe is definitely top 3 for me. But people be putting Bird over Kobe lol... The hate is too real.
Kobe literally could do everything. He doesn't rely on 1 single aspect of the game like many players today. (Steph and his 3s, Giannis and his paint game.) Kobe was literally the most well rounded player ever.
I really wish Kobe was still alive.. LONG LIVE KOBE BEAN BRYANT! YOUR LEGACY WON'T BE FORGOTTEN.
I still think only player who can compete championship series with MJ is Kobe. I miss you bro.
the one and only, the other players are no match
Fuck stats how do people think lebron is better I have no idea
@@franksharp7621 only lebum fanatic think like that and I don't know why.🤦🤦🤦
Pls subscribe to my channel guys
I think all the GREATS could compete with MJ in a series. But I guess you mean Kobe would be one of few players up for the challenge to defend MJ a whole series.
5:50 ankle breaker into a poster, thats something i thought only happened in 2k lmfao
Watching this...Feeling like his still alive hurts me more...
That lefthanded three tho!😂🤣 Amazing. R.I.P. Mamba.
Kobe hoop with alot of great people💯 and out did them all🔥🔥🔥.
I’m so thankful that I got to live during the time he played. He is my GOAT and I wanna be better because of Kobe #Mamba
Most skilled baller I’ve ever witnessed. I’m 46 years old by the way
Yes I know, but now they're lowering the bar for the goat like 5 is not close to 6 but 4 is if you have Kendrick Perkins and Shannon Sharpe tell it
is he better than Mj?
@@scoobidot1982 let's not get crazy you're going too far with it
Kyrie up for debate
@@darrenbradley2474 Kobe way better than MJ but not better than Magic Johnson
Kobe is like Pac if the league was like Rap, and the good die young
Not really cause kobe lived out his carrear until his retirement, we never really saw prime pac because he died when he was really young
RIP to the two goats 🙏🙏
Big Factz
@@cooldude-jb8ms Kobe got it worse. Lived in the gym. Worked his entire career and passes before he truly was able to enjoy retirement.
Love the video!...Miss you like crazy Kobe, R.I.P. to the black Mamba!
The one and only black mamba. Watching this man play basketball is like watching an artist paint the most beautiful portraits. You will always be in my heart Kobe, you inspire me to be better at everything I do.
Only fundamentals. No "travel" 2-step back BS.
I really be like: “what is this garbage they doing today?”...it just looks so unnatural.
@@jermaineartis4323 exactly. Stupid James Harden to blame. His infamous foul call for 4-step back against the Jazz made it clear that everyone can get away with travel.
I'm not sure if they had this rule back then but when harden does it he has a gather step and that's the step back. So he dribbles back while stepping back which is the gather, and then when he lands it's 1-2 no travel cause it's a 3 step to travel.
@@studiouswadoo5027 yeah...that’s cool and all that...but...naaah. Lol
@@studiouswadoo5027 gather step for lay up (aka euro step) or dunk attempt is fine. But for shooting fade away / 3 pt is just an aweful travel.
Fun fact is if you do gather then 2steps (both feet on ground) then layup they will call travel. Go figure.
Kobe Rest and Peace.. can't forgotten u,, from the bottom of my heart we love u..
Just dawned on me that Kobe Bryant hit the same turn around fadeaway on Michael Jordan and Lebron James. Like cmon man literally no one else can say that.
Except bron...bron always use his body in fast break..that his talent to score
@@donnyvillamor8714 so bron hit a turnaround fadeaway on jordan? what?
Kobe packed le bum and faked lebum left him lost in space 🤣
@@donnyvillamor8714 He was saying he literally was able to do it against two of the best in the game because he played for so long
What a joy it was for me to have watched him for his entire career. R.I.P. Kobe Bean Bryant a.k.a. The Black Mamba. Now you are entertaining the Angels up above.
all business no drama the goat
That lefty winding down three pointer.. just wow.
The way he would pass it to himself and score is just...bananas!
Look how he used to do Lebron he was sending a message Everytime
Lebron was 16-6 against Kobe. From 07 onward it wasnt even close. Kobe was 3-14 against Lebron but yeah enjoy your little highlights.
@@geordiejones5618 oh yeah while the lakers was trash and kobe wanted out
@@geordiejones5618 that has nothing to do with individual matchups all you did was bring up team winning percentages. That’s an ad hominem to the tee.
@@geordiejones5618 What happened to "WiniNg iS a TeAm AcComPlisHmenT!"
@@geordiejones5618 he was talking about one on one. Lmao.
I can agree with you that LeBron can beat Kobe in a team game.
But never on ONE ON ONE.
FG PERCENTAGE everytime they guard each other
Kobe: 52%
Lebron: 27%
It's amazing how much he modeled his playstyle after Jordan. He openly admitted it as well. Served him well because I have him and MJ as my top 2 guards of all time.
He was just unbelievable. His work ethic and ability to silence all doubters was what I liked most about him. He was determined to win at all cost. I've never seen a player better. Hands down. Kobe 4 Life
that first play is the coldest shit i’ve ever seen. he let his defender regroup to come back and guard him, then scored on him and got an and1 on a jumper
nah kobe might be the greatest to ever do it
yup!
i think he got really pissed of the push over.
The mora of the story, Lebron James was not ready😂 STILL AINT. RIP GOAT!
😂😂😂 even on Kobes last season.... still shimmy fakin the hell outta bron
@@bobbyvalentino6773 LeBron doesn’t have anywhere near the IQ of Kobe lmao.
GOAT with no Doubt
Nowhere near Jordan. 6 rings, 6 FMVP’s. Never got carried by Shaq
@@tjleaf3510 mj 7 years with no ring, carried by pippen, rodman and others
if i have to bet on someone in 1 on 1, 100% i will go with Kobe, every play u see is just him isolate and score, No screen no help pretty much just him and the other player. RIP Kobe,
This video is dope. One of the best Kobe videos I’ve ever seen
Watching Kobe play gave me a level of happiness I can’t explain.
Hardest working player on the planet.
Enough with the comparisons. Let’s just appreciate greatness.
Watched every game of these moments came from, and I feel he's there all the time. I still dont believe he's gone. He's just somewhere on his road trip, man, seriously. Best in my life and many others
Truly was a gift watching him play live. RIP
