@@techmen-je4mo That's not the point. The point is the OP said they guarded each other when they clearly didn't guard each other 50/50, not even 80/20. I'm just correcting him wtf I never said kobe should've guarded and locked down durant. 36 is 50 now i guess if you're a teenager ahhahahahah
Crazy how today in the morning I was watching this video and hours later the news about your death was all over the media 💔 RIP to my favority basketball player Kobe Bryant 😭
I remember him saying that a young KD was easy to guard tho lol. Said Kd was to skinny and not as strong when he first came into the league and he would be able to move him around easily , but the new KD was a different story lol .
KD had no left too. But sooner or later the younger generational talent overcomes the older and when KD really took off even Kobe couldn’t figure him out
Marvin Simelton You can do it still it’s all about the fundamentals of basketball creating space and knowing the timing of the defense. Kobe was good at knowing the timing and creating space that’s how he was able to get his shot off
@Show Genius in today's league the way the rules are he would definitely average 40. Defenders cant touch u anymore and they cant contest shots the way they use to have to contest Kobe they would be called fouls now. So Kobe with that much space? Hell if a hurt d rose could score 50 in a game Kobe can definitely average 40. I mean Kemba walker averaged 24 this year u f ok not think Kobe could double that?
@@nabi6261 What the fuck does what he just said have to do with Lebron? lmaoooo. and on top of that, you're hating on a player who doesnt even acknowledge you exist. Let me guess, you're a warriors fan and you're salty because your team is shit now lmfaoo
@@iuhshwth1634 you make no sense, like at all. How did I do the same? did you even read what i said? or is your undeveloped brain really that disfunctional?
2 of the top 5 greatest scorers ever to play the game going at each other what great times were those days. Only if, it was b4 Kobe's achilles injury than Kobe would've beaten OKC in this game.
He was fouled I was so pissed that he didn't get the call!!!! Oh well, wins will just make us lose our chance at keeping our pick. But it was a great game tho!
Slightly Biased Kevin Durant Fan It actually was good defense now that I look at it. But it'd be so cool to see Kobe make it over Durant since the 2 put up that great battle.
+Slightly Biased Kevin Durant Fan i agree. Physical defense but very good defense. i just hate how usually in the game that's a foul and yet in this situatiin,they swallow their whistles.
Will never understand why some many people dislike KD. My favorite player and before injury best player in NBA... He doesn't back down duels with anyone he's always accepting challenges and defending SuperStars as Kobe, Lebron, Greek Freak or Kawhi
@@royarvindelacruz4718 This fact is often ignored. It wasnt age that slowed Kobe down, it was injuries. Injuries are bound to happen when there were games where Kobe was playing 45+ minutes at 34 years old. Luckily, Lebron has a great team around him so he doesnt have to play too many minutes.
That's a lie. It sucks LeBron is not on the Cavs anymore. Do you know what LeBron has even done for the city of Cleveland? I'm from here!! Without him, we wouldn't have the greatest comeback in finals history being down 3-1 and come back to win it all at Golden State in 2016... No other team has ever done that and probably never will. So just STFU, you sound dumb...
😢😢😢 never thought this man would leave the game of basketball. Its sad such a Kobe fan, what a great passionate guy that believed in a dream and made it come true. No one will ever have the kobe swag. 7 rings !!! If you don't like him that's fine, but you must respect a man of such great work ethic sheesh!! Kobe take care bro, thank God for LeBron. Wish d-rose get his act together and claim his number one pg spot again. If you read this rose my little brother love's you man and believe it or not kids look up to you. You have to do what Kobe did and that's PLAY!!! No matter what hurts! Jimmy butler? No disrespect but Come on rose that's your team dude. Can't even watch highlights If rose isn't suited up. Hope you change your mentality. Have you fogotten whos Will, will be done? Your a special joy to watch buddy now use kobe retirement and revive your basketball career I believe in you buddy! Curry you are a great shooter hope you stay humble in your rise to stardom!.still curious as to how drose and Kobe are not playing in the Olympics though. 😬😢😲
Westbrook and kd were a legendary duo, if Westbrook would of played off KD and not try to be alpha they would of had rings. I feel like he wanted to prove he’s better than KD but he’ll never be better than KD
Wow, this was 2016? Seem like it was so long ago judging from the thumbnail. A lot has changed since then, KD on the Thunder and Kobe was still here 😭🙏
because of KD...., KD would change everything the following year, it forced other teams to basically scramble and try to form superteams. also the league changed so many rules to make the games more in the hands of the officials.
+FifaLord123|Tutorials usually Id agree, since how soft the NBA has become, however by today's standers that's like a flagrant foul (lol) besides Kobe should get the super star treatment especially in his last season in such and unimportant game that could've been so much more exciting with an ot or at least a chance for it. plus its like his last game against Durant and Westbrook. Kinda seems like the referrers are getting payback for all those years Kobe has been barking at them,wouldn't surprise me since the NBA is to a certain degree rigged.
