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.
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
GOAT of his era!
Better than LeBron definitely

Facts
His fade aways are a thing of beauty.
Watching kobe and bron in the SAME TEAM. That's just an honor itself
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
Kobe is the GOAT 🐐 Im Spanish 🇪🇸
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
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.
RIP KOBE!
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
My GOAT of the 2000s RIP mamba
Team USA needed Kobe that year. He was definitely THE leader and schooled Team USA. His knowledge helped many. 💜💛
Kobe's shot was a work of art!!!RIP brother 🙏
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
"Shoot the Ball even you're not open" 💯🙏
The clear lone Alpha in this Redeem Team.💯
One of the greatest to ever play! R.I.P.
R.I.P Kobe Bryant 🙏🏿🏀
After watching these highlights it really shows how good he was every single other player on the floor knew who the best player was.
thats why he's one on the top list greates player...we miss u idol.
Rest in Paradise brother, you are missed
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 💀
USA can thank Kobe for that gold, without him, Spain would have taken it.
No doubt !
Facts 💯

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
I’m always happy to see videos like this of my favorite player. I appreciate them a bit more now. Thanks for posting
GOAT. The Perfect Baller
Legends🙌Mamba forever and always 🙏
SPETTACOLO...che Giocatore, che Uomo...che Squadra quella...rip Kobe
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.
Guy was an absolute monster
Miss u big bruh. RIP LEGEND..
💛💜💛💜4 life kobe 4 ever lakers fan 4 eternity 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Thank-you for the memories kobe bean Bryant ❤🙏
The best who ever did it!
YOU'RE A TRULY LEGEND KOBE BRYANT 🏀🏆💜💛🖤
Thanks for this video. You post some of the best basketball videos on here
Kobe was a beast
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
Hope you do a 2008 Dwyane Wade version. Thanks for the Kobe vid man! Missed him more!
A player was D wade!
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
I love this video thank you for this 🙏🏽
As a Spaniard, I still have PTSD from 1:57
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.
you forever be missed my idol Kobe Bryant
Did u guys see combination Kobe and Bron in this vid, it wassssss 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
4:41 1 of the greatest alley oops of all time!!!!!
R.I.P Mamba
I love you
Beautiful moves, RIP, Kobe
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
Greatest to ever do it rip 🔥🙏
Yes after goat Jordan. You know the ghost from Chicago every great player is chasing.
My goat🐍🐐
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
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.
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.
2:34 Reminiscent of MJ's iconic game winner
this was the best time in basketball
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 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. 😂😢😅
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.
Nakakamiss c Kobe 😭
I miss you...KOBE
that Lebron+Kobe double team 💪
Man, D wade is the best alley oop passer of all time
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
GOAT
2008 olympic makes Kobe the most famous nba player in china
Almost half the video is Bron assisting Kob 🔥
Team USA 2008 is Hard to beat. Any country can't beat this team.
Goat of all time, just like JCVD.
The Ultimate Baller
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 goat
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
Kobe and Bron would of been best wing duo
Kobe Durant would've been crazy great.
the goat
Kobe, Lebron, Dwade. No one can beat that team.
92 would crush them. 😂😢😅
..and still
#KB24EVER
RIP legend
🐐
❤❤❤blackmamba
Great video thanks
R.I.P
Ghost
coming back here after the world caught up
It's like Kobe said I'm knockin' down all 3's.
Tha 🐐🐐🐐
yo Evin, great vid man. Can you do kobe bryant's 2007 usa highlights? That would also be great
You’d think he played for the Rockets with as many 3’s as he took.
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.
2:00 Classic Kobe
2:28 Kobe!
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 😂😂😂
4:41 Damn man!!!!!!
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!
Training for kobe
Evin MVP
