Derrick Rose vs Kobe Bryant Full Xmas Battle 2011.12.25 - D-Rose with The Game-Winner! 

2011 Rose was so damn explosive

This is my most memorable NBA Christmas day game. I was a huge D-Rose fan rooting for the Bulls yet that damn Kobe Bryant was making it hard on them 😂

One of the all time great Christmas games. If only D Rose didn’t have career changing injuries that season, & I still miss Kobe. :(

88 vs 87 a very tight game.

Miss these good old days

,, i really miss this drose explosive drives layups.. man biggest WHAT IF

We need the FULL GAME !

Miss these good old fays

Drose saying I’m fine just hurts to watch now

Kobe had fisher open at the end, it is hard to find the open man tho

ah I remember this game like it was yesterday. two stars that simply aren't the same anymore 😕

That move at 6:34 was one of my favorite Moves by Kobe. I remember watching this game live and immediately running outside to my driveway to try and practice that over and over when I was in middle school. RIP Kobe and Gigi and everyone who was on that helicopter. thank you so much for everything.

Man, DRose's speed was ridiculous back then. Never seen a basketball player run that fast in person.

WHEN HE SAID THERE GOES THE MVP. OH THE MEMORIES

This was the first time I watch basketball, this was the day I became a drose fan, this was the day I would never forget.

Back when the nba was fun to watch and not everyone hoisting up threes

This game was so lit at the time , definitely lived up to the hype of veteran Kobe vs young D Rose

Never forget watching this game at my cousin house and everybody went crazy when Drose made that shot 😭💔 Long Live Kobe Bryant♾🖤 Long Live GiGi ♾🖤

One of my favorite games, RIP Kobe

Pre-injury Drose > Jimmy butler

Back wen bulls had dat squad

Good memories. This was the first game after the NBA lockout. Kobes my boy but he single handedly sealed the game and within seconds cost the lakers the game lol.

and ppl got the nerve to say he wasn't the best pg in the league at this time

Rose :(

Rip Kobe man this was legendary duel

This was 5 years ago?! God damn, time flies.

This wad such a sweet memory

3:05 when rose run the fastbreak... man that was fucking unreal. too FAST!

What a game !!! Vintage Kobe & D.Rose. Good old day !!!

Love those throw back highlights brings so many good memories and D Rose was a monster back to his MVP days, No PG could be compared to him

Watching this live was magical!

Thanx for the memories Drose

Ahh I remember this... Hopefully Derrick demands the ball instead of Just giving it to Jimmy and going to the corner...

3:05 look how fast rose is compared to everyone else 🌹

Damn, Noah hit a mid-range shot for Rose's first highlight in this game lol.

I already miss D Rose on the Bulls.

Rest in peace Kobe. Still can't believe it

glad you re uploaded this from Dawkins MTA

Oh yeah I forgot that this season was a lockout one and it started on Xmas. I was like roses first basket of the season? Was he injured lmao

Im in tears

rose was such a beast before injuries

I miss this Bulls team and 2011-2012 in general :/

One of the best games I ever watched. R.I.P Kobe

maan i remember watching this on christmas with my family at the christmas party, i remember in 4th grade when i made my black history project on Derrick Rose. This man was and is an inspiration in my life. When i watched him play basketball , I saw someone i could look up to. A young black man, light skin just like me, short compared to others just like I, I saw someone that I could envision myself as. Not only on the court , but off it as well. I always find myself every now and then coming back to these highlights to enjoy and look back on my childhood and how much he means to me. I remember when he got hurt against philly, i stopped practicing like i use to, because I wasn’t able to see the person that motivated me on the floor. However, watching his perseverance through everything truly inspires me more than any play or highlight he’s ever been apart of. Although, it does hurts to know that he could have been one of the greatest players to ever play the game if not the greatest point guard ever . D rose 🌹 fan for life.

This announcer drunk af at 0:05 he said Minneapolis and los angeles

This was the game that got me into basketball

What was kobe thinking at the end lol

A win always makes the pain go away.

Feels so long ago. Like I should be watching this on celluloid.

Miss those days :(

Best Christmas game of the decade.

one of the best xmas games🔥

RIP Kobe

RIP Kobe :(

5:50 That is unreal.. wow!

R.i.p Kobe this is one of my favorite games I’ve ever watched def a classic my fav player Rose but Kobe balled out !! Rip Kobe and Gianna 😞❤️

Still watching this on 2018 and that quickness and explosiveness that Derrick Rose have been. 💔

5:50 FUCKING INCREDIBLE

there's a rumor that, that floater still haunts laker fans....

Awesome memories! Both sides! Rose with that speed and handles and for sure Kobe! RIP Mamba!

Back when the refs didnt call fouls all the time

If D-Rose really does hang them up, can you do a top plays of career video?

I wish the Bulls would of just kept luol Deng cause he and Butler would be the best defensive wing duo in the league

Rip Kobe.

One of the best floaters in the game still to this day

He's coming back man

R.I.P. Mr. Bryant

RIP KOBE😢😢😢

Really miss that era

LEGEND

Miss you kobe😥

Da best pa announcer around!

I remember this game as a kid

This when basketball was fun to watch

NOSTALGIA

Damn imagine it would of been all home town players playing for their hometown basketball teams drose would of had dwade and AD 😱

I fucking love the old NBA where teams are not super teams

Wow. Kobe was clutch even though he got blocked and fisher is wide open in the corner.

Post Deron Williams' highlights vs Washington when he scored 42 points and hit 9 threes in the first half

Damn Kobe choked bad. Rose came through in the clutch.

On the cool I thought Derrick Fisher was about to shut down D Rose on that last play had the shorts rolled up and everything lmao.😂😂

Jimmy Butler was the only one not smiling after the victory.

Can u upload wade highlight from christmas games vs mavericks?

notice that voice crack at 1:20? lol😂😂😂

Drose should've never got hurt that game man 😞 tibbs. Your up 10 in the 4th qtr with 3 min left. Take drose out the game man. FUCK!!!!😭

This was a good game

I remember being so mad that we blew the game here lol

88 point win, thank you!

man derrick rose is unstoppable back then. I wish he could play like this again :(

nice

That's why kobe is unstoppable 1 on 1, but predictable with team defense

kobe🙏 best💪 rest in peace

ahh that Kobe 7 Cheetah, my first Kobe Shoes .......

am I the only one who always wondered why they never reviewed that Deng travel 🤔

Who else is watching in 2019 😂😂

The Bulls team that expected to win all out even in 2016 until some discontented trades and coaching change destroy them. From a Warriors fan.

Back when Rose was 1st option and could actually prosper instead of Jimmy.

DRose seem like unstopable in 2011

looking back at this after kobe’s passing 🙁

D Rose Vs Kobe My 2 Favorite Players 🐐
