I knew I would be. Lakers were 3rd in the west but let's face reality, this series showed Pau gasol could no longer be the young gasol, Bynum was always injured and didn't care about coming back, lakers needed a pg badly, and no one else on the lakers could create a shot. All the west teams were just getting better while the lakers had no good draft picks, no bench, and old players
Deonta B While true, the Lakers did make the playoffs the next year. Kobe tore his Achilles a few games before the playoffs started. Had that not happened this would not have been his last playoff game.
Deonta B 18-33 shooting, extremely efficient shooting for such a high usage perimeter player. Also, I remember watching this game live -- his teammates were completely passive late in the third and the entire fourth. He essentially had to do almost everything for LAL to have a chance.
ikillf0fun Gasol played like shit all playoffs and fisher is not that much of a scorer. I can't remember if bynum played or not at the time but Gasol was done.
This game is the 2nd most depressing Kobe's playoff game to watch after his 50 points against Phoenix Suns. The guy has done everything to will his team to win.
@@Konphetty i agree game 2 was on kobe but blake missed a wide open 3 that would have won the game too and game 4 was on Pau for throwing the ball away when he was wide open. This game speaks for itself, outside of kobe the rest of the lakers combined for 16/42
I love the fact that this has been Kobe's final playoff game (2013 & 2014 injured) and he just went bananas against the #1 team in the West today & the reigning MVP. I guess that's Kobe for ya!

B. Alpha yes. Game 2 and Game 4 was really theirs but mental breakdown from teammates. Mental breakdown happens to team if the coach did not prepare them well. Everyone thinks Phil Jackson is great because of Triangle, but Triangle just one thing. What makes Phil great is how he prepares his players mentally and spiritually before a game or actually the whole season until playoffs. Im not saying its the best out there but he has 11 rings to back it up
If only David fucking Stern didn't veto the Chris Paul trade. I love Gasol so much, but getting CP3 that season would have really helped Kobe and the Lakers. Not only did we lose Odom in the process (cause he rightfully felt betrayed by the organization), but Gasol also felt mistreated. That trade also would have been much better for New Orleans. I'm pretty sure Dragic, Odom, Scola and Martin are a lot better than Eric Gordon, Kaman and Aminu
Gasol is great, but when Kobe scored 41 points and Lakers still lost with 10 points less, it tells everything. Kobe is the most disrespect legend who ever played basketball, if NBa wanted to trade Chris Paul in Lakers, Kobe would easily win one more title, maybe even in 2011 they would win, but definitely with Chris Paul they both would have realistic chance to beat Heat in 2012.

Kevin Harlan mention during the broadcast, Kobe not having Fisher, Phil, and Lamar Odom. They were gone at that time, seeing Kobe score 42, carrying this team, without any help, reminds me of Magic in 1990, scoring 43 vs Suns in the playoffs, the lakers were missing Kareem. They didn't have anyone to throw the ball to in the post, to draw the double team, Mychal Thompson didn't have that type of game, and Vlade just learning the NBA life as a rookie foreigner, they just weren't Kareem, that's what Magic and the Lakers missed in 1990, and Phoenix just exploited the inside.
The fact that this was Kobe's final playoff game is unreal... he did everything he possibly could to keep the lakers alive in that series against an OKC team who was hungry and filled w/ youth compared to a Lakers team that was aging by the minute. Kobe's level of skill was on full display, he could only do so much... there's no denying that he didn't go down without a fight and this was a prime example of how Kobe continued to compete even if the odds were against him. OKC may have been the better team, but Kobe proved to be the best player on the floor in a loaded Western Conference.

RIP to one of the greatest ever This game was inspiring because you have a guy thats older than anyone on the court yet he’s working and playing 10x harder and still taking them to school. Mamba Mentality forever
In the famous words of Allen Iverson when he was talking about the sports media pushing the GOAT narrative out of MJ vs LeBron and not including Kobe. "What! They forgot!"
The amount of competition and Degree of difficulty kobe faced in the western conference during his era is insane. That's why he's beaten 27 50-win teams in the playoffs throughout his career. Most in Nba history
This is hard to watch. Someone with more work ethic and drive to win than anybody…towards the end of his career and still putting up MVP numbers…losing alone and not getting another chance
If Lakers froncourt played with half the heart Kobe and Metta did they would have won the series. Game 6 vs the Nuggets Kobe is as sick as hell and scores 31, Gasol puts up 3 points and 3 rebounds.

If you watch Kobe closely in this game, he looks WAY more athletic than he did in some games earlier in the season. Turnaround jumpers, dunks, etc. Guess he turns it on big time in the playoffs. Especially an elimination game.
Bynum has never carried Kobe. When the Lakers won the championship in 2009 and 2010...Bynum in the playoffs averaged 6.3 pts in 2009 and 8.6 pts in 2010. Kobe shooting 6-24 in game 7 is just like Jordan shooting 5-19 in a close out game 6 versus the Sonics in the 1996 Finals. Kobe also had 15 rebounds...but I guess you didn't notice that.
It's like scoring is 2nd nature to Kobe man, he just has a feel to do it like no one I have ever seen play. He has some sort of spider sense for when a defender relaxes, then he burns em! Lol
That's not true at all clown Kobe Bryant cost himself chips when he ran Shaquille O'Neal off David Stern didnt mess anything up Kobe Bryant wasn't winning anymore rings after Mavericks 4-0 swept Lakers in 2011
@Stone Colds Kobe was playing defense while lebron was playing stats and begging everyone to play with him. Funny how you leave off 12 all defensive teams 9, 1st all defensive teams. When you play defense your stats don't look as good but you win championships. Defense wins championships in all sports
Andrew Bynum threw his career away. If he dedicated himself to the game instead of lifting chicks up at the playboy mansion he could have been something.
Phil NEVER retired in 2004 kid. Maybe it was before your time, but Phil called Kobe uncoachable, and had to leave the team. Kobe shipped out Shaq and got rid of the coach, it's only recently that KB and Phil made up.

your right, he had shaq, one of the greatest center to EVER play..
the last playoff game of his career
I miss Kobe already he deserved better and more champions
Okay so in Kobe's last playoff game he had the most amount of dunks in a single game of his career. (5)
he had half of the teams points.. crazy
He was doing work this game.
If you watch Kobe closely in this game, he looks WAY more athletic than he did in some games earlier in the season. Turnaround jumpers, dunks, etc. Guess he turns it on big time in the playoffs. Especially an elimination game.
kobe is legend,he better have a good teammates,back llamar odom.
so many dunks in a game holy shit
The Lakers were done after the 2011 series against the Mavs. Hell, I saw it in the series against the Hornets.
that 2011 lakers team is at least better than this 2012 lakers team, lol
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 by far!
@@edgaryzen4925 oh yeah, its not even funny
My favorite Kobe performance
Kobe man he a beast nd who knows maybe he'll catch up to Mj someday
So sad to see Kobe lost.
Bynum has never carried Kobe. When the Lakers won the championship in 2009 and 2010...Bynum in the playoffs averaged 6.3 pts in 2009 and 8.6 pts in 2010. Kobe shooting 6-24 in game 7 is just like Jordan shooting 5-19 in a close out game 6 versus the Sonics in the 1996 Finals. Kobe also had 15 rebounds...but I guess you didn't notice that.
He was fucking amazing here
kobe never gives up
But he grabbed 15 boards with that 6-24
He was ballin'
Can u get any Jordan clips from the 94-96 Championship run? I study most of your Kobe highlights for my own game...
Damn that tre at 3:38 over Harden was nasty, kobe was a cold one...
That left handed shot was beast
love that left handed shot sweet
Any superstar today down 0-3 would just call it a day and wait for next year. They don't come around like kobe no more
he was never even down 0-3 in this series though? 😂 he was down 3-1 in this game and obviously lost in 5.
He shot 15 times in 19 minutes. Classic Kobe
I can’t see how people say Lebron is better look at them shots he being Kobe are taking
the last time the Lakers were a good team
NOT ANYMORE
Dennis Rodmans rebounding and defense was far superior to Bynum...especially if were talking about the Bynum from the Lakers title runs years.
It's like scoring is 2nd nature to Kobe man, he just has a feel to do it like no one I have ever seen play. He has some sort of spider sense for when a defender relaxes, then he burns em! Lol
This is his 16th year tho #underrated
David Stern took two chips from kobe and the lakers
That's not true at all clown Kobe Bryant cost himself chips when he ran Shaquille O'Neal off
David Stern didnt mess anything up
Kobe Bryant wasn't winning anymore rings after Mavericks 4-0 swept Lakers in 2011
@Stone Colds Kobe was playing defense while lebron was playing stats and begging everyone to play with him. Funny how you leave off 12 all defensive teams 9, 1st all defensive teams. When you play defense your stats don't look as good but you win championships. Defense wins championships in all sports
@Stone Colds I guess you know more than the average nba player, vast majority pick Kobe over lebron.
Harden not playing D is in his characteristic 😂 look at this old film
The step back wit the knee up
Andrew Bynum threw his career away. If he dedicated himself to the game instead of lifting chicks up at the playboy mansion he could have been something.
RIP KING
Phil NEVER retired in 2004 kid. Maybe it was before your time, but Phil called Kobe uncoachable, and had to leave the team.
Kobe shipped out Shaq and got rid of the coach, it's only recently that KB and Phil made up.
He really didn't do anything until magic and bird were on the decline I hate how everybody is so scared to tell the truth about Jordan.
I'm educated. You just dislike Kobe and you can't get past that.
fisher is gone, phil jackson is gone, odom is gone. Very tough for Bryant!
Impressive!
5. personally?hole team but kobe was going down but still kobe put the best ppg of the series
If u score 42 in the playoffs and lose, the team is the problem
