The only player who matched his championship numbers was Tim Duncan (5-1). Tim vs Kobe was a hell of a duel man ! Detroit and Boston were the only teams who beat him in the playoffs like the way they did in the 1980s (1984 and 1989). Both cities were their huckleberry (a match for the Lakers historically).
@@andystarkiller7492 the real loss in kobe carreer was againt boston in 2008 finals, lakers team was complete and healthy but they failed against boston excellent defense and the big 3. the 2004 finals loss wasn't a surprise considering that they had old payton and malone as starters and the team was already ready to explode because of shaq and kobe foeuds
@@aminezouaoui9529 I agree with you, 39 points (131-92) in game 6, also they blew a 24-point lead in game 4. Bynum was missing in 2008 as he was injured. Three years later, something similar against Dallas (122-86) albeit it happened in the pre-round series.
I saw most of the laker games live on tv during the Kobe gasol era and the western conference had crazy good deep teams. Lakers had a good starting 5 but a weak bench in comparison and the lakers would frequently be up 10-20 points and lose it quickly when the bench came on. The fact that Kobe won back to back with this team in this period shows just how good Kobe was. He’s the most skilled and toughest player I’ve ever seen.
@@MrBhukkaThat’s why I always said he last two rings was underrated they don’t understand the teams he was running into and he was playing through injuries I don’t get how he gets left out the GOAT conversation.
I really wish he won another mvp this season. He was incredible. Hella game winners and insane moments during the season. And this playoff run was wild considering how injured he was
3 straight finals appearances and only one MVP throughout it is pretty crazy Kobe’s the real threat that the Lakers have for other teams and leading them
@@Spider-Complexion The Colorado case made the media and league ignore Kobe’s greatness. But 08-10 wasn’t expected from anyone including Shaq so those years put every Kobe hater on hush mode. Which is why nowadays people try to act like those years ain’t happen. Or lie and say Pau was basically the next Shaq and Carried Kobe. Which is why after 2016, I gradually lost interest in the league year by year. I’m so tired of the soft shit & the lies.
Footwork is so majestic, yet a cerebral assassin a killer. Loved his killer will didn’t care how much you hated him boo’d him he came to put on a show and drop 40 on your head 😤‼️🏆💜💛
post-season's Kobe was the utimate state of kobe, as for the regular season, which was the warmup and betterly facilitating and improving the chemical effects of whole team. R.I.P my GOAT
My favourite KOBE TITLE RUN AND PLAYOFF RUN NEXT TO 2001. My two favourite games from kobe was 2001 WCF GAME 1 VS SPURS 45 points with several dunks over TWIN TOWERS, DUNCAN AND ROBINSON. And 2010 WCF GAME 6 VS SUNS with so many CLUTCH SHOTS. AND ALL THAT WITH BROKEN INDEX FINGER ON SHOOTING HAND and with Pau Gasol as only 20/10 guy and All star. Unlike Lebron and Kd and Harden who jump ship from teams to teams and gettiing superstar after superstar. That is why i respect more guys like Giannis, Jokić, Buttler, and before Dirk Nowitzki.
That game 6 vs the Suns omg I'll take that kobe over any player to close out a series he was like a boxing champion every shoot was like a body shot and then he landed the knockout blow to the head you can feel the suns and thier fans get the life took from them amazing 🐐🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🙏🏾❤️
That is why I say Kobe is better than Jordan, Jordan was facing 39-42 win teams while Kobe was facing teams that had to win 50 just to be safe to get in for some years in the west.
He faced a young big 3 in Okc, Swept a underrated Utah Team that year, beat Nash and the suns, then beat arguably one of the best team in history,the Celtics with Prime Paul Pierce Kevin Garnett Ray Allen and Rondo when he was the best PG. He is arguably the greatest to touch a basketball. He movements, IQ, and the ability to just perform at a high level is unmatched.
One of the best teams in history? The 50-32 Boston Celtics? They finished with the 4th best record in the Eastern Conference. The Atlanta Hawks had a better record.
Kobe is really the most skilled in the whole NBA. Jumpers, dunks, hook shots. Floaters, left handed shot or layups, threes and game winning shots. Solid no.2 of all time!
Kobe should have been MVP in 2009 and 2010 along with 2 finals MVPs. The Greatest thing about Kobe is the media and NBA always went against him and he still became 1 of the Greatest ever. The greatest in my era the undisputed GOAT 🔥💔💐🕊️
R.I.P. Our Legendary Childhood GOAT Kobe Bryant AkA Black Mamba AkA King of LA AkA 5 Time NBA World Champion AkA The Greatest of All Time AkA Forever Be The Best Laker Player In The History of The NBA AkA Kobe Bryant Will Always Be The Best Player In The History of The NBA
I haven't watch basketball since the 2017 NBA finals and I'm not regularly watching it tbh with you lads, basketball isn't a very popular sport here in UK but I'm very familiar with a lot of superstars especially MJ, Kobe, and Lebron. now, Luka Doncic made me rewatch basketball again due to his good basketball skills I'm just hooked up to watch basketball again and now I'm relieving my memories watching Kobe Bryant back then when I was still fighting in a squared circle for money lol.

2010 series vs the Phoenix Suns is Kobe's greatest performance in the Conference Finals. The level of shot making he displayed on Grant Hill in that Game 6 was nothing short of spectacular.
Kobe is constantly in the attack mode, just like Allen Iverson... and that is the beauty of watching Kobe Bryant.... no hiding from defenses, no shying away from matchups. Showtime basketball at its peak.
The reason I’m a lakers fan is Kobe D fish & Nick van exel Kobe’s passing & defense was underrated my favorite athlete ever miss mamba like I knew him personally hope he Gigi & everyone who lost their life that day is resting well🙏
Thank you thank you and thank you for putting this up, I enjoyed every minute of it. We were so lucky to have a player like Kobe for 20 years, he truly was special and I still miss him
Man.. the game was so different back then from what it is today. This roster was running on all cylinders. Kobe's game was on another level. The man manipulated the game, he was 5, 6, 7 steps ahead of the game, the shots that he took are insanely hard. Not to mention a broken finger, a championship is all that matters. I'd rather be measured by championship vs mvp's..
tks Dawkins..great n so wonderful edition of video film of Kobe. also i wait on 12 hours of video ot him.. boy it seem like he is still alive..many tks

@@jetbryantgmbmHe has blocked the best and biggest bigs of his era especially in crucial moments from Yao to Duncan, Shaq, Amare etc and he has also locked up everybody from AI to Wade, Bron, Allen etc.
Yep. Kobe was on another level 08, 09, and 10. Beijing should have resolved that Kobe being the best player on the favorite to win it all should have gotten MVP three straight years. However, the MVP is voted on by the donut eating media. What a joke that people count that as anything the way they did Kobe.
Just randomly got recommended this and watched the end where Kobe won the MVP... David Stern announcing it, Bill Russell handing the trophy to Kobe, Stuart Scott interviewing him. I was smiling so big for him and then it just randomly hit me that every single one of them is gone now, far too soon. RIP to them all, and respect for Kobe, what a legend and what a career.
Man look at the final score to some of these games! Kobe was putting up numbers when teams still cared about defense. Teams are dropping 115pts or more every night without bothering to try on D.
The suns and celtics series was more like revenge series by kobe in this year...and he played with broken finger..but of all west team that kobe face in 3 yrs finals run..the denver nuggets was the most threat..that melo/billups dou is pure assasin
I always felt that Kobe and the Lakers knew how to break down Denver Defense. To me the Houston Rockets were a huge challenge to the Lakers, they took them to 7 games in the 2009 playoffs.
@@TheUnpopularPerspective...the rockets series may reach game 7 but for me that houston team was not leathal for me its like lakers could finish them early but luck happen....the nuggets team make me fear literaly kobe guarding prime melo whos bigger and paint bully...billups, prime anderson, smith jr etc its a great match up...but of course nothing stops kobe that yr went mamba mode in game 6
Last time, we saw Kobe at his prime...The Celtics challenge was much bigger than Orlando which occured the previous year. Bryant was clearly not the same dominant player in the 2011 NBA playoffs. Even Jordan claimed the 1998 NBA Playoffs were tougher as he was aging. Let's not forget he played the entire 48 minutes in Game 6 of the 1998 Finals.
Do yall even notice that the media doesn't show majority of these highlights u only get to see new things cuz of a fan made video and plus (+) they always shows pictures and videos of old kobe but almost never young prime kobe...they always showing old kobe or afro kobe (when he was with shaq) think about it, let it sink in!!!
If 2011 through 2020 proved why Lebron is better than MJ. Than 2001-2010 showed why Kobe is better than Lebron. MJ is the goat IMO but Kobe is right behind wherever MJ is.. literally the baby goat 🐐
Forget about the actual Lakers coach and players…. What the Lakers need is THIS TEAM with Kobe and Phill Jackson…. Then, they will win again…. That’s why this 2010 series was watched by more than 22 Million viewers… but with Bron…. Well… just a little more than 9 millions viewers…. Just saying… Thank you for the awesome video… Remember is… life….
The 2008-2010 Lakers were similarly structured like the 96-98 Chicago Bulls. Kobe took aspects of what Michael and Phil did in Chicago and brought it to L.A. That's why these Lakers teams were so good and entertaining during those years.
Those Bulls teams didn't have 2 7 footers in the paint, and a 6'10 forward who could handle the ball post up and shoot. That being said Kobe like to operate from the same areas that MJ operated from during their championship runs and the system they ran was the Triangle offense. So those would be the similarities.@@TheUnpopularPerspective
@@koolkai4299 Brother please stop it. Luc Longley was 7'2 and Bill Wennington is 7'0. You pair those guys with Dennis Rodman at PF and you have defensive length and size down low similar to the Lakers. Scottie Pippen was a 6'8 Forward that could handle the ball, score, and play defense at will. Then they had 6'11 forward Toni Kukoc who could stretch the floor. Not to mention a 6'6 defensive Ron harper at Point Guard in comparison to the Lakers smaller Derrick Fisher. So, brother please cut the bullshit. The Bulls had length on the perimeter and the paint.
I would argue that it has devolved. Honestly, unwatchable for the majority. It's boring.... way too easy to score, and just bland af these days. I watch it because I'm a bball nerd. Regular people could care less...
@Jxsofrioo yes bro, he is that guy for sure. And he is a breath of fresh air. A true competitor, with the skill and athleticism too. The whole package!
Every grown man who has actually seen him play during his career knows this man's the GOAT. He was the league. Gullible kiddos have been brainwashed to think this man is not an absolute NBA legend.
The more I view these Kobe videos the more I realize he is the most intense driven Baller ever whose exploits on the court can only be equaled not exceeded! 8/24's games was spectacular.....there was nothing he could not do on the court that was not HOF level game in and game out. Anyone talkin smack about Kobe on the court needs to shut the hell up. and stop putting LaBron in the same sentence with Kobe.........

The 2008-2010 Lakers were similarly structured like the 96-98 Chicago Bulls. Kobe took aspects of what Michael and Phil did in Chicago and brought it to L.A. That's why these Lakers teams were so good and entertaining during those years.
Those Bulls teams didn't have 2 7 footers in the paint, and a 6'10 forward who could handle the ball post up and shoot. That being said Kobe like to operate from the same areas that MJ operated from during their championship runs and the system they ran was the Triangle offense. So those would be the similarities.@@TheUnpopularPerspective
@@koolkai4299 Brother please stop it. Luc Longley was 7'2 and Bill Wennington is 7'0. You pair those guys with Dennis Rodman at PF and you have defensive length and size down low similar to the Lakers. Scottie Pippen was a 6'8 Forward that could handle the ball, score, and play defense at will. Then they had 6'11 forward Toni Kukoc who could stretch the floor. Not to mention a 6'6 defensive Ron harper at Point Guard in comparison to the Lakers smaller Derrick Fisher. So, brother please cut the bullshit. The Bulls had length on the perimeter and the paint.
Basket ball has really evolved..
I would argue that it has devolved. Honestly, unwatchable for the majority. It's boring.... way too easy to score, and just bland af these days. I watch it because I'm a bball nerd. Regular people could care less...
@@AubreyCole-kj8fdyup facts bro 💯😂 the only person who i think can revive the nba again is Anthony Edward’s he reminds of a young Kobe.
@Jxsofrioo yes bro, he is that guy for sure. And he is a breath of fresh air. A true competitor, with the skill and athleticism too. The whole package!
Mr. Russell, Mr. Bryant, and Mr. Scott RIP! 🥹😇
Thank you for putting this together
That Suns series is the greatest example of Prime Mamba!
The greatest ever to played the game! 🐍 🐐.
RIP Kobe, Bill Russell, Stuart Scott, and David Stern.

Dam I miss Kobe 😮💨😢
Kobe my idol.
Every grown man who has actually seen him play during his career knows this man's the GOAT. He was the league. Gullible kiddos have been brainwashed to think this man is not an absolute NBA legend.
1:22:28 is so legendary even tho they lost that game , chills
The more I view these Kobe videos the more I realize he is the most intense driven Baller ever whose exploits on the court can only be equaled not exceeded!
8/24's games was spectacular.....there was nothing he could not do on the court that was not HOF level game in and game out.
Anyone talkin smack about Kobe on the court needs to shut the hell up.
and stop putting LaBron in the same sentence with Kobe.........
Game 6 against the Suns actually made Steve Nash cry. They did everything right in terms of defense. Kobe's offense just buried them down the stretch.
That OKC series was a tough 6 game series but, we was able to fend them off. Nobody ever mentions this series.
