I remember watching this game with my dad who's a big Yao Ming fan. At one point during this game he shook his head and said, "Kobe is too damn good". Then I started noticing this man.
Started watching basketball during the 2002 playoffs just to see iverson play because everybody talked about him and I watched the lakers with my grandmother and seeing Kobe play he became my favorite player that same day
this guy the the GOAT he just wants to win. he wants to win more than he wants to breathe. its insane. lebron is no even close. if kobe was 6'8 260 lord have mercy on the nba cause he will crush souls but he is who he is with his talent. its amazing
C Howard shots lebron avoids but even the full court prayers lebron a legend but when they bring up kobe fg pct they dont consider those. fscts and his last 2 seasons were awful and old hurt kobe!!
Derek Delgado - they also don't bring up that Kobe played injured. They don't bring up that Kobe wasn't afraid to take desperation shots to avoid a 24 second violation or end of quarter heaves.
C Howard exactly if you take those shots away and kobe last 2 years he would be over 50% easily because he would get 3 or 4 misses per game on those sometimes more!!
Derek Delgado U guys r 100% right Kobe was the bailout guy when the offense failed.. And yeah man Kobe should of retired after the achilles injury in 2013.. After that he killed his stats as a shell of his former self.. But what do you say? Kobe's competitive drive, determination, and passion for the game wouldn't allow him to walk away.
Many times. Try his while career. This did this even his last season. His last game even. He would try to get them going then when 4 seconds hits the clock they pass it back. That fucks up your fg %. Bunch of broken plays and bailout shots.
Kobe Haters should watch these early 2007 games and listen to every commentator saying "Only 18 shots a game? He needs to get back to the 27 shots a game he's been taking." The Lakers, at times, have needed Kobe to light it up. And with this scrub ass team of course he was gonna fill it up. It's the only reason they won games.
Its no explaining. To hate on Kobe is a built up anger of tnemselves not amounting to shit. They were born haye free. But sin brought the hate on. He could score 150 points and they still will hate.
Damn... ppl that talks about kobes % not being as good as other superstars means that they just havent watched him play.... this man had to play 1 vs 5 all the time! LOL its so sick!
ALL THE TIME. And the crazy party is Kobe was still efficient. He always shot above the the average. But these stat nerds wanna just hate on Kobe greatness
the commentator at first was like Kobe needs to shoot more, he's only shooting 17 times per game this year compared to 24 in the previous year.. then later on said that kobe was shooting too much... wtf? there was so much hate against kobe..smh
Λ Stat padding is filling the stat sheet up pts/rebs/asts etc idiot!! Kobe was giving pure buckets 27pt 3rd quarter, 28pt 4th quarter... BTW we were down 15 at halftime...
Stat padding is if your team already lost the game or your team already won the game. If Kobe was seriously thinking about stat padding his stats, it would look much better than bron.
You have smush Parker, Luke Walton, kwame brown, rodmonavich, and Kobe Bryant. I mean with that line up Kobe better be taking 25+ shots a game. I mean if he doesn't shoot then what, his second best option is luke Walton.
I'd like to add that Vladamir Radmanovic shot lights out when he was with the Supersonics (Ray Allen & Rashard Lewis). When he signed with LA, he didn't shoot anywhere near his capabilities.
@Λ dude those are some of the worst players ever. He did all he could. He had a 35 6 5 season bro. Stfu. He was up 3-1 on the 1 seed suns with no help at all
@Λ Kwame could barely catch the ball. Many commentators would talk about how small his hands were. Why pass the ball to him when you know hes going to drop it?
Taylor 2715 how do you figure that? Kobe’s dream team would get destroyed by Jordan’s.
4 года назад+2
Taylor 2715 the way you know it’s weaker is an older Kobe was able to dominate the league long after his generation retired. And older Kobe destroyed the younger generation with bad legs less cardio and mostly resorting to jump shooting fade always because they lesser talent in his young body he would obliterate these boys
@@jameschristiantaylor123 wrong. You obviously haven't seen the 85 to 93 version of mj LIVE. Kobe is top 10 but as far complete game and skill and athleticism its not even close.
Kobe over mj any day .. Kobe had more fire in him ... u can feel the passion. Dude was beyond unstoppable... my true goat I love u #kb24 for life fly high see you in another life 🦅
This was yet another occasion where if Kobe was on the floor, you were never out of it. He was an absolute scoring machine who could score from, literally, ANYWHERE on the floor against anybody; he’s the greatest scorer I’ve ever seen. Most people (haters) would look at the amount of field goal attempts, but given the quality of teammates Kobe had, he needed to shoot/score as much as much possible to give those Lakers teams (2005-‘06 & 2006-‘07) a chance to win; his prime was certainly not fulfilled.
Rest In Peace to the Legendary Kobe Bryant. My favorite player of all-time. R.I.P Gigi Bryant and the seven others we lost on that dreadful Tragedy. 🙏🏽💙😢😭
This Kobe Bryant 31.6 points 5.7 rebounds and 5.4 assists All NBA First Team All NBA Defensive First Team Scored 40 or more points 18 times Scored 50 or more points 10 times Averaged 40.4 points per game in April ASG MVP 31 points 5 rebounds 6 assists 6 steals God Bless my brother Kobe I love you REST IN PEACE
Kobe should have had a triple-double this game, kwame Brown messed up 2 open layups Kobe passed to him at the end of the game. So pity Kobe had to play with those worst bums in the NBA. In addition, Kobe dropped 50+ so many times against Battier, one of the best defensive players in the NBA, who locked down Lebron with shitty stats lol
This is the exact reason why kobe has too take 28 shots now in 2014 HE DOESNT HAVE A TEAM. When got Nobody consistent on your team who are u gonna pass it Too??
Oliver Sanvictores I'm sure if kobe was a couple inches taller an a bit stronger he would turn into a better version of lebron. Kobe is limited by what he has in terms of physical ability. Kobe has better skills than lebron. Kobe has a better shot, (in my opinion) better court vision, and can defend other 2-guards with ease. LeBRON IS GREAT; but when comparing them, people have to realize lebron has an size advantage over kobe... an MJ... and many others.
You know you’re the greatest when people find any excuse to hate you! There has been a lot of debate on who the GOAT really is, well until someone scores 81 points I guess it’s Kobe Bryant.
Sorry the wilt argument won’t work, all he did was dunk the ball. Kobe did it a myriad of ways as a perimeter player which is unheard of in the modern era. Nice try though.
See the difference? When kobe scores extremely high, it’s usually out of necessity because he has no choice but to carry the team most of the time especially that 81 point game. Star players nowadays *cough* *harden* *cough* either stay in the game despite having a comfortable lead or stay in the game to reach their ppg despite a blowout game. That’s stat padding. Kobe is different.
I was at this game. Some of the "fans" started leaving towards the end of the 4th, then at the end of regulation, then at end of 1st OT. What a bunch of fakers, best regular season game I went to! RIP Black Mamba, you will always be a huge part of my life!
Kobe is my favorite player. Still don't see how anybody could think Kobe over MJ if they're both at their best. Stats MJ. Athleticism MJ. Clutch MJ. The game just came a little easier to Michael. Besides all the other things I listed, a simple eye test answers the question.
Beautiful to watch... Wow Kobe I'd literally doing it all. Forget that fg% get that W 5:30 when Smush hit that 3 and celebrated with 2 minutes left in the game that pretty much confirmed how trash he was
Isn't there another 50 point game Kobe had against the Rockets where he missed a freethrow and then Kwame tipped it out and he made a fadeaway 3 for the tie or something
Yes that one was on Mar 30 07. Kobe scored 53 pts again. Actually it was Kwame who missed the 2nd free throw at the end of the 4th quarter then Kobe got the rebound and tied the game with a 3.
Increíble lo bien que defendía Shane Battier, pero más increíble es como Kobe anotaba frente a él y frente a tantos más. La defensa de hoy en día es de risa. Kobe es incansable.
This man in 06 & 07 and majority of 08 had literally no help. Wish we saw this Kobe with a decent team in the playoffs. When he had a decent squad from 08-10 he made the finals all 3 years. If he had even that same team from 06 i can put everything i own that this man would have another ring especially in 06
Goat Reacts wasted what??? He came in the league in a beautiful situation playing with the most dominant big man in modern history, and the HOF coach Phil. He ran everybody off because he wanted to be the man and when he finally able to showcase his skills and leadership on a mediocre team he couldn’t even get to the playoffs, they bring Phil back and he couldn’t get pass the first round.
Kobe for 3 or 4 years had the worst rosters for a playoff team out of all 16 teams in the league. And it wasn't close. You got people saying smush Parker was decent. Bynum was great, kwame brown and Chris mihm. Luke Walton .. lol

It took 2 overtimes for the lakers to reach 112 pts. Not to mention, kobe having 53 of the 112. Defense back then was so different compared to today's cupcake era. I bet kobe would average 40 in today's nba considering the soft ass defense, the pace and the spacing.
Smush parker, Brian cook, Kwame brown, radmonivic. A bunch of nobodies. Kobe is the goat. I watched this shit live. Dude had no help. He did all he could with that team
There has never been a player better than a prime Kobe Bryant.
cant argue with that
Well said. I think Jordan is better than kobe overall cuz his consistently greatness. but prime kobe is the greatest ever
