Kobe Bryant - Olympic Highlights 🇺🇸 (Offense)

- Kobe Bryant. 5x NBA Champion. 2x NBA Finals MVP. 2008 Most Valuable Player. 18x NBA All-Star. 4x NBA All-Star Game MVP. 11x All-NBA First Team. 2x All-NBA Second Team. 2x All-NBA Third Team. 9x NBA All-Defensive First Team. 3x All-Defensive Second Team. 2x Scoring Champ. SECOND HIGHEST SCORING GAME in NBA history. 4th on the NBA All-Time scoring list.
TWO TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST. Kobe has only ever worn 2 numbers in his professional career. Both 8 and 24 have been retired by the Los Angeles Lakers. The number 10, however, is the only number Kobe has ever worn to represent his country. Technically speaking, he also won a gold medal in the FIBA Americas Tournament. The United States needed to qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and going undefeated in that tournament secured their Olympic berth. So across three tournaments (2007 FIBA Americas, 2008 Beijing Olympics, and 2012 London Olympics), Kobe and Team USA finished 26-0 en route to 3 gold medals.
This video was made simply to marvel at the magic of the Mamba. His primarily role on Team USA was that of a defender, but during moments where his team truly needed him, Bryant was brilliant. His LA Lakers had lost to the Boston Celtics earlier in 2008 and when it got tight against the reigning World Champion Spain in the final, with a gold medal on the line, Kobe dug deep and hit big shot after big shot. The Mamba struck Spain with a dagger of a four point play (that also fouled out Rudy Fernandez, Spain’s leading scorer) and then silenced the crowd.
If you listen at the end, I left the audio for when the players receive their gold medals and are mentioned by name. The cheers for each American player were pretty even…save for one.

I apologize for any roughness in audio/video quality. You wouldn't believe how many different places I had to pull clips from in addition to going through hours and hours and hours of the full games. Also, these aren't even all the games from the Olympics (either one) but I had to make due with what I could get. I even manage to pull one from a hard drive that was almost long since forgotten!
In case you're wondering why today, well, Kobe's number on Team USA side by side with his number until he retired = 10/24.
Pretty special, thanks for the upload man.
Super dope and it’s much appreciated💪🏽🙏🏽
@Evin Gualberto what about a 1997-2016 kobe detail video?
Pls do a dwade 08 Olympics man was the leading scorer for team USA coming of the bench
I was born two months earlier having a genetic visual limitation,but I love play basketball and I never give up,like he said in life.
Kobe my inspiration forever❤️
Thnx for this video,love from Italy
Kobe Beijing 2008 = Unstoppable
He was playing with a chip on his shoulder after losing in the finals to the Celtics that year.
more like 2008 kobe was unstoppable
2 way effort too
KoBe-ijing and LeBeijing are unstoppable alphas in Olympic history.
@@キリーライトニングyeah Lebron, not Kobrick he’s overrated
2008 kobe was like a 99 created player from 2k. He truly could do it all
2006 Kobe was like if you got a pc mod that made the attribute cap able to go to 110, maxed out a character, and put him on the current day hornets or any team that’s bad
He had an all-round game, no weaknesses. 🐐
Listen to how loud the crowd gets when Kobe's names being called for the gold. Rip Mamba
Watching kobe and bron in the SAME TEAM. That's just an honor itself
His fade aways are a thing of beauty.
its so humbling to see all these GREATS refer to kobe when its go time. i love it so much. + lebron and kobe is such a deadly combo
This was Kobe, Paul, DWill, DWade,
Yeah and people said kobe and lebron couldn't worked together smh, now imagine a team with lebron, kobe and dwade
GOAT of his era!
Better than LeBron definitely

Facts
Kobe is the GOAT 🐐 Im Spanish 🇪🇸
R.I.P bean and to the other lives that were lost on January 26. We miss you
Kobe could use his pull up jumper from anywhere on the court without fear of having it blocked by any of the players guarding him. That's how dominant he was in Olympic competition from the guard position. He was a lock down defender like Co vid man dates have locked down our economies, that's how good he was.
The 3 point line was shorter and that transformed Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony into snipers from 3
They were 3 point snipers already lol 😂
Do you not watch the NBA?
@@joscaca Well not really Kobe and melo weren’t really know for being but could shoot threes they were know for being deadly with their mid range game
@@Kenroy_Tatoute what do you mean well not really? Kobe and Melo are two of the guys shooting 3s back in the league, after guys like Reggie Miller retired.
Kobe was shooting 3s before the Phoenix Suns went crazy with 3s.
When Melo came in the league, he was also shooting them.
You are correct in the mid-range game.
@Matthew Dave on god those long 2s in the league
@@Kenroy_Tatoutebruh kobe had the most threes in a game before steph and klay kobe could do what he wanted Kobe has hit deep threes Kobe just loved the mid range more
Team USA needed Kobe that year. He was definitely THE leader and schooled Team USA. His knowledge helped many. 💜💛
My GOAT of the 2000s RIP mamba
After watching these highlights it really shows how good he was every single other player on the floor knew who the best player was.
Kobe's shot was a work of art!!!RIP brother 🙏
"Shoot the Ball even you're not open" 💯🙏
One of the greatest to ever play! R.I.P.
Thank you, for posting this game Evin Gualberto, of Kobe Bryant NBA Championship game. We love seeing Kobe play along with the USA Team. Kobe is such an amazing player
that Lebron+Kobe double team 💪
The clear lone Alpha in this Redeem Team.💯
thats why he's one on the top list greates player...we miss u idol.
I’m always happy to see videos like this of my favorite player. I appreciate them a bit more now. Thanks for posting
R.I.P Kobe Bryant 🙏🏿🏀
USA can thank Kobe for that gold, without him, Spain would have taken it.
No doubt !
Facts 💯
Facts
If Kobe ain’t the Goat nobody is
Jordan is stop it.
MJ the GOAT but Kobe is #2.
@@Bob-te3leKobe is Jordan pack a punched, take it from an MJ fan
RIP KOBE!
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
These USA Olympic teams are so unfair with Kobe, Durant, LeBron, etc.
That NBA team was the best of the tournament hands down. Still, Beijing 2008 was a FIBA rules tournament with one team playing with NBA rules. I cant stop watching travelling and "starting travelling"(steping before dribbling - RIP Iversons crossovers).
True
Lebron is trash, doesn’t mean nothing.
@@Madman-en8db your obsessed 💀
Rest in Paradise brother, you are missed
SPETTACOLO...che Giocatore, che Uomo...che Squadra quella...rip Kobe
GOAT. The Perfect Baller
Hope you do a 2008 Dwyane Wade version. Thanks for the Kobe vid man! Missed him more!
A player was D wade!
Thanks for this video. You post some of the best basketball videos on here
Guy was an absolute monster
Miss u big bruh. RIP LEGEND..
Legends🙌Mamba forever and always 🙏
Kobe in his absolute prime
😌🇺🇸🏀🐍
Best to ever do it. RIP Mamba the whole world misses you
2nd best to ever do it. Unless you don't count that ghost from Chicago.
Revisiting Kobe's shooting form and release. Even if he's wide open, he releases the ball mid-air, not upon jumping. I tried copying that and realized you must have strong triceps to do so. it's not the most efficient style but sure does look good
I was taught shoot at the top of your jump shot. No one can do what Jordan and Kobe did. That's why they're the only 2 basketball gods ever.
Thank-you for the memories kobe bean Bryant ❤🙏
💛💜💛💜4 life kobe 4 ever lakers fan 4 eternity 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
2008-2011. When Kobe reached the mountain top being the best player in the world including Lebron and we all knew it. Kobe has the most beautiful game to me. Like if Steph Curry played above the rim
I wish I was on the nba just to get a chance to play with kob and prolly against him if I was in the nba that would be a dream come true because I grow up around Jordan time in the 80's
I love this video thank you for this 🙏🏽
Did u guys see combination Kobe and Bron in this vid, it wassssss 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
YOU'RE A TRULY LEGEND KOBE BRYANT 🏀🏆💜💛🖤
The best who ever did it!
When Kobe led us to Gold. That was the moment he separated himself Lebronze and Tim ''Silver'' Duncan.
Only low iq Basketball fans like Nick Wright and Collins will tell you other wise.
LeBron was a rookie in the 04 Olympics and came off the bench…….
@@pallani8471So this “leader” couldn’t ask for more minutes?
@@d3adyoutubeaccount he was a rookie genius, why would he be leader over Tim Duncan and AI? You know, the proven superstars in their prime???
@@pallani8471 AI is not a true leader. Duncan’s unselfishness would always let LeBron be leader
Watching this makes me wish Lebron and Kobe teamed up at some point in their career like in that 2k game. They would’ve been unstoppable.
Kobe was a beast
4:41 1 of the greatest alley oops of all time!!!!!
Still can’t even accept the fact that he is gone, best ever, no doubt.
2nd best ever no doubt. Jordan Kobe then everyone else can fight for 3rd.
2:34 Reminiscent of MJ's iconic game winner
you forever be missed my idol Kobe Bryant
Great defense on the the first shot. Almost blocked it the second try. Kobe is Kobe, but I enjoyed the second attempt to block his shot.
The team's so stacked
Rs bro
They were stacked and somehow kept losing. Good thing Kobe saved us.
I know 2008 was so close but they easily beat the Spain in 2012
Or I could say that the Spain just made every shots and couldnt miss in 2008
Beautiful moves, RIP, Kobe
this was the best time in basketball
As a Spaniard, I still have PTSD from 1:57
Kobe and Bron would of been best wing duo
Kobe Durant would've been crazy great.
對西班牙那最後的四分打
讓當年已經是kobe迷的我 再度為他瘋狂成為他的信徒
My goat🐍🐐
R.I.P Mamba
I love you
The Greatest Eveeer..ain’t no debate
So what's Jordan then ! This comment didn't hit like you thought it would. 0 likes in 3 years. 😂😢😅
2008 olympic makes Kobe the most famous nba player in china
Almost half the video is Bron assisting Kob 🔥
Greatest to ever do it rip 🔥🙏
Yes after goat Jordan. You know the ghost from Chicago every great player is chasing.
My God he looks like he could be MJ's little brother. His movements look just like him lol. Always miss Kobe
Kobe was Jordans little brother. And yes Kobe will always be the closest to thing we see to Jordan in talent moves attitude etc. The 2 basketball gods. RIP 🙏 Mamba
Bryant is G.O.A.T
Jordan is the Goat and always will be for our lifetimes. Playets can't chase down that ghost from Chicago. Kobe literally spent everyday of his life stealing Jordans moves , didnt smoke pr party and still fell short. Mean whole Jordan smoked gambled played golf before games and still is by far the Goat.
I miss you...KOBE
Nakakamiss c Kobe 😭
Team USA 2008 is Hard to beat. Any country can't beat this team.
Its difficult to compare him and MJ, but i'm sure that...because of Coby I love basketball. Thank you King.
If you love him then spell his name right. It's Kobe. 😂😢😅
The Ultimate Baller
Man, D wade is the best alley oop passer of all time
GOAT
Goat of all time, just like JCVD.
yo Evin, great vid man. Can you do kobe bryant's 2007 usa highlights? That would also be great
The goat
Kobe, Lebron, Dwade. No one can beat that team.
92 would crush them. 😂😢😅
RIP legend
..and still
#KB24EVER
Great video thanks
coming back here after the world caught up
It's like Kobe said I'm knockin' down all 3's.
🐐
Imagine prime young Wade and LeBron with a seasoned prime vet Kobe on a NBA team lol bruh that shit would be so damn unfair and not right 😂😂
Sad thing LeGM and Wade would do it. Bit we all know Kobe ain't built that soft way. Kobe ran from Shaq to show his true greatness , LeGM and Wade runs to help to show their fake greatness. There's a huge difference. Mamba mentality is the name.
Ghost
R.I.P
You’d think he played for the Rockets with as many 3’s as he took.
lmao bruh is that a real pic in the thumbnail? My mans jersey straight up says 4 Skinn 😂😂😂
Was just about to comment that then I saw you already noticed it too 😂😂😂
He tried to imitate M Jordan in his early years and he ended up even more nimble and skillful than M Jordan. So beautiful to watch!
2:00 Classic Kobe
❤❤❤blackmamba
Tha 🐐🐐🐐
2:28 Kobe!
4:41 Damn man!!!!!!
Training for kobe
8:53, fxxking Zaza style on Melo
Jimmy butler Lockdown, or Robert covington rim protection, or pj tucker low post defense please?
