Really appreciate this vid. I used to hate Kobe as a kid. Not sure why. Maybe all allegations of selfishness, public beef with Shaq, etc left an impression on my young mind. It wasn't until his later years when I started to look into the kind of person he was off court that I learned to truly appreciate his greatness on it. It's crazy to think that he was only 33 when he played his last playoff game. He had so many more years left in him. It's crazy how that one ridiculous veto messed up so much about his latter years. He definitely would have had at least one more ring with CP. Heck, he might even have another if they'd just brought Phil back to handle Dwight's ego.
A few things: The Western Conference caught up to them, they tried to wisely trade for a new core before backfired in the cheapest way possible, and they kept pushing until the wheels fell off. That's the price of being a contending team. If you push too high, the fall will just be worse and what a fall the Lakers went through. And then, no one wanted to go there. I think they're still in this dark age. RIP KOBE🕊️
Sorta, but Kobe was fucked over more than Bron. Bron made worse decisions himself, whereas the Lakers made worse decisions for Kobe. Also, Bron’s later years (2021 on) weren’t quite as good as Kobe’s last ones (2011-2013)
@@Jonathan-A.C. Lebron in 2013 was struggling against 23 year old PG and Roy hibbert who took them to 7 in 2013. Kobe definitely could have got another chip with some help.
@@0vern9K No, no he wasn’t. He was dominating at the peak of his powers. The team overall just wasn’t incredible, Wade had began having much more knee issues, and Bosh both wasn’t playing well and got outplayed a lot by Roy and the big boys. However, you do raise a good point. It clearly wasn’t just Bron doing amazing and that’s that, they weren’t perfect, and went 7 games with just a great Spurs team. I do think *Kobe* himself was that good and could’ve won, I just doubt it with whatever team he had then, and he’d have to have a lot better of a team (so like CP3 actually joining)
That failed and vetoed Chris Paul trade affected team chemistry with the whole team especially Pau and Odom plus the team was aging which didn’t help when they traded for old Steve Nash and Dwight wasn’t the same
Its just a shame that Shaq and Kobe couldnt check the egos and truely build an all time dynasty. And i say that as a guy that rooted for Sac against them everytime
hey man, i been subbed to u for a minute. great vidoes, great script, great pace. if i can nitpick a thing tho, ur inflection where u tend to trail off towards the end of ur sentences makes some of ur lines hard to hear n understand.
Hey Dylan. Nice face reveal! I think how you did it in this video was good. Show it off, express yourself, but primarily do the show and tell with the memes, information, and applicable pictures
Man it’s so damn sad to see what the Lakers front office did to Kobe those last six years…imagine telling them “I need help” and they get you a 38 yr old pg 😭😭
The 2012 playoffs was the sign that Kobe's era was at its end. You got Dirk getting swept, the Celtics big three fighting to the brink for their last game together and of course Kobe losing to the next gen of MVPs in the west.
Sb nation or screat base did a video on this it was good also he should of retired at that time the money and go he wanted to play but his body was not ready and the organization tried everything to kill it.
The lakers have consistently shown that they are prone to importing name brand talent over taking the time to actually create a good team from scratch, but it's understandable and you can't really hold it against them. (I don't even like the Lakers, and I think their post 2020 downfall has been hilarious.) Seriously, when four consensus top 10 players actively choose to play for your team and win championship(s), you can't fault them for thinking that things will just work out with enough stars.
Are you joking. Kobe was a shell of himself when he came back from the achilles rupture. It would have been dumb to mortgage their future and try to put a good roster around Kobe when he wasn't Kobe anymore.
Phil Jackson retired, Kobe SUPPORTED D'Antoni and then payed the price lol That's not the Laker's fault. Kobe pushed Dwight to come back earlier... that's not the Laker's fault. Who is expecting Kobe to beat the superteam heat or kawhi spurs LOL
The last few years of kobe they did an awful job of developing their players. Randle made all nba teams, dlo became an all star for the nets, and ingram also made multiple all stars. Hell, kobes final year was just everyone giving kobe all the shots etc while the young players wasted a year to develop. Theyre gunna do the same with lebron

Did we just witnessed the facereveal of the greatest voice and channel for NBA Basketball🤯🤯🤯
Never thought he would look like that . Deadass thought bro was Asian
Need new knee pads?
i thought bro was indian for some reason 😂
@@901gaminganime5I‘m good
Zipped it up when you're done
Looking like a stud Dylan! Great vid as always
Just what we all needed, a Dylan video.
Fr
wasn’t expecting a face reveal! it fitted well in the video too 🙌🏽
I will say: Soutout to Dwight Howard for making Kobe appreciate Shaq as a teammate after years of beefing
I never thought I'd see the day where Dylan showed his face
Love when RUclipsrs do these lowkey face reveals! You look good dude and so does your channel! Keep up the great content 💪
my glorious king dylandoesbasketball never fails to butter me up for his early video releases

these really are my favorite yt vids, dylandoesbasketball carrying yt rn
I absolutely didn't expect that Dylan face reveal. Also you absolutely don't look like what I imagined you look like
Was waiting for a video like this yessssss

Yeah they need a new core
Hi Dylan. Love your videos
Wow Let’s Go Dylan!!!
You the realest for including JRsportbrief in the intro. Truly an OG to sports RUclips
1:11 is that Dwight Powell?
😂😂😂
This boutta be a banger
we got a dylan face reveal before an embiid ecf appearance
I said this over a year ago & I’ll say it again. Lakers wasted Kobe’s last years & now they’re doing the same to bron
Not even close. Kobe didn't team hop to superteams STOP IT. The only similarity is that their both on ending their twilight years with the Lakers.
"their only similarity" was his entire comment by the way... You brought up all the other stuff all on your own@@goofywill90
@@goofywill90So you agree with him

Lol
The face reveal was like surprise bag over the head from behind 🔥
Dylan does it again.
The goat dylan!
Miss Kobe Bryant man 😔😔😔
That caption about Phil Jackson destroying the Knicks was so accurate 😂😂😂
Dylan looks great yo
We need that video on the Steve Nash Suns
Kobe really shoulda had more REAL chances, his last years were so dissapointing, he really shoulda had atleast one more ring
They had him struggling with bums and 2k auto-generated npcs on his team lol
I wonder how he felt when Lebron joined the team 3 years after his retirement 😭 “WHERE TF WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU”
He got his teams. He likely wouldn’t be able to win against LeBron in 2012 and 2013, and many of the others would have been hard

As a Lakers fan thanks alot for bringing up old painful memories. 🤦
So early the Lakers haven't fumbled their season yet
Always posting bangers 👌👌
Dylan has another video. Nice.
14:07 bro these sounds are so vile bro 😂😂😂
Mostly Gran Turismo soundtrack from the games
not how i imagined dylan, respect 💯💯 face reveal cant be easy to be secure with ☝🏿🙇♂️
Its just a shame that Shaq and Kobe couldnt check the egos and truely build an all time dynasty. And i say that as a guy that rooted for Sac against them everytime
The most surprising face reveal ever

DYLAN FACE REVEAL! I DONT REMEMBER SEEING IT BEFORE

@@jrodzilla24 harsh.
Bro is constantly playing the persona 5 soundtrack in his videos and it turns out he looks like Kamoshida 💀💀
Holy crap. Facecam outta nowhere.
What a face card absolutely beautiful
Face reveal was totally unexpected, I imagined a completely different guy in my head 😅
What a handsome young fella
Bro did the most casual face reveal
idk if id call it his twilight years as he was already 15 + years in the league atp, felt more his last ride that became a wreck.
Hey Dylan. Nice face reveal!

It is very humble not to put face reveal in title to get clicks
He looks good

I like the face reveal tho

2010s are mostly a dark age for the lakers nobody talks about.

What a handsome lad
everybody just showing their face now no conversation
W vid
Greg Haffley?
Jim Buss deserves to go under the jail
Face Reveal 😍
I kinda wish Kobe's Career didn't end in mediocrity
Kobe set the Lakers back twice for years
How many more rings would Kobe have if the super team actually worked

Hell, kobes final year was just everyone giving kobe all the shots etc while the young players wasted a year to develop. Theyre gunna do the same with lebron
They kept Kobe way too long
hope that facecam stays off
Edit: it didnt
That decription is such a hilarious lie
Lmao varsity chino hills was more entertaining is true. I saw that era posted on Instagram, and youtube in middle school
Did you just call 37 minutes per game-"brutal"?
OMG W FACE REVEAL
Might be rude, but does anyone else prefer Dylan's videos faceless?
They could’ve been better if BYNUM NEVER GOT INJURED
Face reveal yooo
Nah, don’t do this revisionist nonsense. Kobe drove the Lakers to irrelevancy by being an unchecked asshole. It wasn’t just the front office.
Tatum >> Kobe
Rage bait lol
Kobe Disciple vs Kobe lol, Tatum not even the best Kobe fan in the league
How Kobe destroyed the Lakers
Their franchise player btw, lakers management been suck ass
