That move at 6:34 was one of my favorite Moves by Kobe. I remember watching this game live and immediately running outside to my driveway to try and practice that over and over when I was in middle school. RIP Kobe and Gigi and everyone who was on that helicopter. thank you so much for everything.
james john same. I didn’t know shit about basketball. But I obviously knew Kobe Bryant and I watched the game, but ended being entertained by Derrick rose LMAO
enzo cherikh Iverson was no where near as fast or strong as Rose. Rose was unquestionably more athletic. Iverson only had a better shot. Roses crossover was much faster and was actually a crossover and not a carry like Iversons.
Good memories. This was the first game after the NBA lockout. Kobes my boy but he single handedly sealed the game and within seconds cost the lakers the game lol.
maan i remember watching this on christmas with my family at the christmas party, i remember in 4th grade when i made my black history project on Derrick Rose. This man was and is an inspiration in my life. When i watched him play basketball , I saw someone i could look up to. A young black man, light skin just like me, short compared to others just like I, I saw someone that I could envision myself as. Not only on the court , but off it as well. I always find myself every now and then coming back to these highlights to enjoy and look back on my childhood and how much he means to me. I remember when he got hurt against philly, i stopped practicing like i use to, because I wasn’t able to see the person that motivated me on the floor. However, watching his perseverance through everything truly inspires me more than any play or highlight he’s ever been apart of. Although, it does hurts to know that he could have been one of the greatest players to ever play the game if not the greatest point guard ever . D rose 🌹 fan for life.
So true me and my brother noticed that he just throws it to jimmy then walks in a corner and never demands the ball or if he has it he passes to pau gasol
Derrick Rose is a big time player that makes big time plays. When the game is on the line, there are not many players that can play under pressure during crunch time. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Kobe Bryant are the only ones that can play under these circumstances.
I think it's over for Kobe, but he had a great career so it's ok...Rose on the other hand needs to get back to this level. I really don't care what most people think. In ROSE we trust.
2011 Rose was so damn explosive
Jay ikr
stupid crazy
Ruben Velasco just imagined he never got injured DAMN I HATE FUCKING INJURIES DROSE ALWAYS MY FAVORITE PLAYER
SNAKE EYES what u think bout bron rn .. the goat?
Ruben Velasco fuck overrated LEBRON

ah I remember this game like it was yesterday. two stars that simply aren't the same anymore 😕
+jaquan541 They would both still be elite without injuries
+Dom2K kobe is still good tho even after the injuries hes playing well for his age but derek rose yeah idk what happened to that nigga lol
+True True just posted twenty five points last night. he is still elite
Platinum.fx but he does that like once a month thats not elite. The elite rose dropped 35 every other game
hes recovering from blurred vision and he is averaging 15 ppg so he is coming back to his self
This was the first time I watch basketball, this was the day I became a drose fan, this was the day I would never forget.
Me too fam. I started loving the game as a young teenager. Those were the days.
james john same. I didn’t know shit about basketball. But I obviously knew Kobe Bryant and I watched the game, but ended being entertained by Derrick rose LMAO
This legit was my first time watching any NBA game
And I'm a huge fan of basketball now
Man, DRose's speed was ridiculous back then. Never seen a basketball player run that fast in person.
he still got his atlethicism..it's just he's slowing down his speed now because this is the reason he keep getting injured
JaShawn Johnson NO THAT'S NOT THE REASON ITS THE WAY HE LANDS AFTER HIS FLASHY DUNKS
Allen Iverson.
Iverson was so explosive, and had a better crossover and shoot
enzo cherikh Iverson was no where near as fast or strong as Rose. Rose was unquestionably more athletic. Iverson only had a better shot. Roses crossover was much faster and was actually a crossover and not a carry like Iversons.
WHEN HE SAID THERE GOES THE MVP. OH THE MEMORIES
He didnt even deserve to be the mvp
+Nick Zhang yeah okay
+Nick Zhang thank you.
Nick Zhang this man was doing unbelievable things at the age of 22
Nick Zhang "he didn't even deserve to win the mvp" you didnt even deserve to be born ugly ass bitch
Back when the nba was fun to watch and not everyone hoisting up threes
Kobe Bryant IKR
Kobe Bryant nothing wrong with that. 3 points is more than two. Plus driving over and over again gets you injured
Ian Savii I rather drive.
Its like you watching the all Star Game...
Ian Savii no it’s doesn’t, you obviously just started watching basketball
This game was so lit at the time , definitely lived up to the hype of veteran Kobe vs young D Rose
One of my favorite games, RIP Kobe
Pre-injury Drose > Jimmy butler
Injured rose > jimmy butler
khalil chibani steph?
Cruel Kc you're insane if you think steph curry is better than PRIME DROSE. Youngest MVP ever #neverforget
no dip
Why say that? U should’ve said, if jimmy Butler was on this bulls team when Rose was mvp, they would’ve beaten Miami
Back wen bulls had dat squad
This is my most memorable NBA Christmas day game. I was a huge D-Rose fan rooting for the Bulls yet that damn Kobe Bryant was making it hard on them 😂
Rose :(
Look at em now
and ppl got the nerve to say he wasn't the best pg in the league at this time
Never forget watching this game at my cousin house and everybody went crazy when Drose made that shot 😭💔
Long Live Kobe Bryant♾🖤
Long Live GiGi ♾🖤
Good memories. This was the first game after the NBA lockout. Kobes my boy but he single handedly sealed the game and within seconds cost the lakers the game lol.
Fahiem Ahmadi They lived and died by his,shot
We need the FULL GAME !
This was 5 years ago?! God damn, time flies.
It was actually 7 years ago
Elgium Morrow .........
Elgium Morrow But it was 5 years ago when the comment was posted
What a game !!! Vintage Kobe & D.Rose. Good old day !!!
Miss these good old days
Love those throw back highlights brings so many good memories and D Rose was a monster back to his MVP days, No PG could be compared to him
One of the all time great Christmas games. If only D Rose didn’t have career changing injuries that season, & I still miss Kobe. :(
,, i really miss this drose explosive drives layups.. man biggest WHAT IF
Rip Kobe man this was legendary duel
One of my favorite game goodbye Kobe Bryant 💜💛
3:05 when rose run the fastbreak... man that was fucking unreal. too FAST!
Yeah it was
I already miss D Rose on the Bulls.
Im in tears
This wad such a sweet memory

Drose saying I’m fine just hurts to watch now
rose was such a beast before injuries
3:05 look how fast rose is compared to everyone else 🌹
Damn, Noah hit a mid-range shot for Rose's first highlight in this game lol.
PY L didn't u watch basketball back then Noah could hit some mid ranges from time to time.... Not his first SMH
5:50 FUCKING INCREDIBLE
One of the best games I ever watched. R.I.P Kobe
Watching this live was magical!
Oh yeah I forgot that this season was a lockout one and it started on Xmas. I was like roses first basket of the season? Was he injured lmao
Kobe had fisher open at the end, it is hard to find the open man tho
Thanx for the memories Drose
Ahh I remember this...
Hopefully Derrick demands the ball instead of Just giving it to Jimmy and going to the corner...
So true me and my brother noticed that he just throws it to jimmy then walks in a corner and never demands the ball or if he has it he passes to pau gasol
+Tray Davis he didnt do this last season alway took it from jimmy
+Tray Davis i think its Fred telling him to
+AkFTW Fred thinks Derrick is done and he thinks Jimmy can carry the Bulls. He's wrong if you've seen how Rose has been playing lately.
+AkFTW i think so 2
I miss this Bulls team and 2011-2012 in general :/
RIP Kobe
one of the best xmas games🔥
88 vs 87 a very tight game.
glad you re uploaded this from Dawkins MTA
R.I.P. Mr. Bryant
DRose seem like unstopable in 2011
Rest in peace Kobe. Still can't believe it
This announcer drunk af at 0:05 he said Minneapolis and los angeles
Miss you kobe😥
Still watching this on 2018 and that quickness and explosiveness that Derrick Rose have been. 💔
Best Christmas game of the decade.
NOSTALGIA
Miss those days :(
Awesome memories! Both sides!
Rose with that speed and handles and for sure Kobe!
RIP Mamba!
5:50 That is unreal.. wow!
I turned it in 0.25x cause human eyes cant see that quickness
I wish the Bulls would of just kept luol Deng cause he and Butler would be the best defensive wing duo in the league
A win always makes the pain go away.
This was the game that got me into basketball
What was kobe thinking at the end lol
there's a rumor that, that floater still haunts laker fans....
For a regular season game? Lol we r 16 time champion aint caring for a regular season opener
For a regular season game? Lol we r 16 time champion aint caring for a regular season opener
Jordan in the finals also haunts laker fans.
+Nick Zhang those are all in the past though. Lakers are trash right now.
Damn Kobe choked bad. Rose came through in the clutch.
He got fouled
@@48thbucks
He didnt ge fouled, he choked and got blocked
R.i.p Kobe this is one of my favorite games I’ve ever watched def a classic my fav player Rose but Kobe balled out !! Rip Kobe and Gianna 😞❤️
Feels so long ago. Like I should be watching this on celluloid.
Back when the refs didnt call fouls all the time
If D-Rose really does hang them up, can you do a top plays of career video?
RIP Kobe :(
One of the best floaters in the game still to this day
Miss these good old fays
D Rose was better then Kobe before the injurys
notice that voice crack at 1:20? lol😂😂😂
Wow. Kobe was clutch even though he got blocked and fisher is wide open in the corner.
Rip Kobe.
I remember this game as a kid
Lmao it was like 4 years ago your still a kid then hahahaha
+shawn hickman touche
+Cj Jackson little kid
+XDiZzYX911 im 14 now
+XDiZzYX911 technically still a kid
man derrick rose is unstoppable back then. I wish he could play like this again :(
RIP KOBE😢😢😢
On the cool I thought Derrick Fisher was about to shut down D Rose on that last play had the shorts rolled up and everything lmao.😂😂
Derrick Rose is a big time player that makes big time plays. When the game is on the line, there are not many players that can play under pressure during crunch time. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Kobe Bryant are the only ones that can play under these circumstances.
Really miss that era
Why does Fred have to run the offense just through butler and gasol
Right d rose n jokim get no love
the only thing that can fix drose is by leaving chicago..
+Rudi Mesina why would he leave his home? Plus where else can he go
+Feed Clan i wish he can go to LAKERS hahahhahaahha
+Javon Clayton no it's not
Post Deron Williams' highlights vs Washington when he scored 42 points and hit 9 threes in the first half
He's coming back man
Damn imagine it would of been all home town players playing for their hometown basketball teams drose would of had dwade and AD 😱
Da best pa announcer around!
Jimmy Butler was the only one not smiling after the victory.
I think it's over for Kobe, but he had a great career so it's ok...Rose on the other hand needs to get back to this level. I really don't care what most people think. In ROSE we trust.
he'll be back
Its over for rose too
Have i got some bad news for you guys or what
LJC rip
@@nickzhang5130 It ain't over for Rose, bitch
That's why kobe is unstoppable 1 on 1, but predictable with team defense
This when basketball was fun to watch
I fucking love the old NBA where teams are not super teams
The Bulls team that expected to win all out even in 2016 until some discontented trades and coaching change destroy them. From a Warriors fan.
Can u upload wade highlight from christmas games vs mavericks?
kobe🙏 best💪 rest in peace
D Rose Vs Kobe
My 2 Favorite Players 🐐
50 points for vintage drose. Comback!
Back when Rose was 1st option and could actually prosper instead of Jimmy.
D rose need to get more aggressive and stop passing to jimmy so much
+Tray Davis He tryna facilitate more because of the new coaching system and risking not getting another injury.
I miss Kobe so much.....Basketball IQ was off the charts
I remember being so mad that we blew the game here lol
am I the only one who always wondered why they never reviewed that Deng travel 🤔
K Hendrix nope you're not
88 point win, thank you!
