He was really supposed to be old and talking shit about the younger generation of players on how they were soft and wouldn't last in his era. I can't believe he gone still
Dominic dominic I never said it was soft. I said NBA players from past generations always talk trash about the younger generation. Love never got the chance and that sucks
Kobe was so quick and springy this season, even more so than the previous 2 in 06 and 07. 03 was his athletic prime but 5 years later in 08 he got back to that and it was really the last year he was that quick. 09 and 10 his atheticism went down again, he showed flashes but 08 was truly the last of his peak young healthy years. His athleticism resurged in 13 too but the achilles ended it all.
@@joeybelisario5530 Facts. If Kobe had a decent team, not even all star team, from 05-07 he would've had at least another ring or two. That was his absolute peak and it was thrown in the garbage
Kwame Brown cost him a ring. Kwame must have averaged about 3 or 4 unforced turnovers a game in that Suns series. His hands were really small and he would often fumble easy passes in the post. Not to mention he would miss 50% of his free throws.
@@ezekwu how was he better?....he only has 1 season MVP...how is he better?...he only has 2 finals MVP.....how was he better?.....he got 5 championships but only led 2 out of the 5....how was he better?...he doesn't own a D. P. O. Y award....how was he better....how was he better?...he knew what it was like to get dominated in the finals....how was he better???
@@ezekwu Jordan was both, better career and better player, Jordan was better on all 3 stages. Season, playoffs, and in the finals but you're intitle to your opinion and I respect it bro.
@@guru_basketball_kiero it's easier to score in this era and pacing is way quicker now. Kobe could shoot threes too....he held the record for threes in a game with 12, so if adjusted his game slighty to this era he would easily average 35-40 ppg
Those people go by other people's opinions and what the media says. Anyone with an actual brain understands that Kobe is in a league of his own when it comes to scoring. Only MJ is on that level. Not even Durant which I don't understand why they even mention him either.
whips8 nah you buggin on that last part. I’m a huge Kobe fan but to say Durant isn’t on his level of scoring is blasphemous. Kd has already led the league in scoring like 5 times. I’m not saying he a better scorer than kobe. Never. But he can be mentioned with mike and Kobe when it comes to top scorers
I remember these days. I watched every game, got into heated battles with siblings for the remote, washed the dishes quick af for shoot around. Shoutout to Vladimir Radmanovic and Ronny Turiaf... And RIP Kobe and Gigi always
Ppl forget how skilled Kobe was. Footwork, post game, mid range, three point, free throws, driving, etc. just pure skill alone Kobe is up there but y’all hate to admit it. He had a lot in his bag to choose from. A lot of superstars now have a couple moves and that’s it. Never knew what you’d get with Kobe
@@TheMonjok24 Jordan...and unless somebody is ignorant of Jordan's game, it's not even debatable. Basically, not only did he do everything Kobe does better (meaning way more efficiently and may more often) but he had tons of moves Kobe could not duplicate. Jordan's game is instinctive...improvised. With Kobe, you can see/feel the repetition. You can tell (again, if you know Jordan's game enough) he watched Jordan and repeated his moves a ton of time. With Kobe, it feels like choreography. There is nothing Kobe did that Jordan did not do before. But there are moves/shots that Jordan did that Kobe never did. Even on his channel, you can see MJ at 35 having more shots/moves than Kobe. Let alone when he was in his prime (84-93). And quite frankly, Kobe is a tough second because you can choose Penny Hardaway, Dwayne Wade. But I can give the edge to Kobe on the second place.
People don’t remember how good this version of Kobe was because lakers weren’t that relevant with this roster. This is my favorite version of him. It was like a mix between young frobe and the black mamba.
Yeah true, this Kobe was sensational to watch and this roster revived with the trade they made to acquire Pau Gasol later that season and the rest is history.🏆🏆
Jaleel Og man he lost any mvp he would have won when he caught that bullshit case they couldn’t stand kobe after that but in 07-08 08-09 they saw the greatness and was trying to respect it to me he has NO mvps they gave him that off of grief but he did deserve it I wasn’t even happy cuz he shudda had a couple more like you said
I've been watching kobe highlights all day, and in every video the one consistent phrase I heard throughout every video is "do you believe this guy". Kobe made you say that at least once a game
My 🐐. Mesmerizing, poetry in motion, the player I try to emulate. Invigorating, gorgeous, graceful with the prowess of a 🐆. Unmatched in skill and style. Never be another! So bothered he only got one MVP. R.I.P. Kobe.
@Steven Campos he didnt need to, michael only used dribbling once in a season, he was a quick scorer, kobe isnt, thats why people overhype his dribbling, kobe had problems scoring fast and efficient cause he isnt as smart as mj.
Villacreses Borja Bryan MJ relied more on off the ball movement where he would offball cut for a layup or dunk or he would shoot a C&S midrange jumper off a pin down. Also in the post MJ was stronger so he can get his shot easier in the post, jumped higher than Kobe and finish in the paint when he spinned baseline in the post. Kobe had to use craftiness more & couldn’t get instantaneous separation from his defender with less athleticism. MJ could get his jumper off easier cause defenders were so scared of his driving ability. Also Kobe could’ve been more efficient in a different system other than the triangle. The triangle was more predicated on working at the elbows & post area. Maybe Kobe would’ve been more efficient in a offense with 3 point shooters spread out everywhere using the P&R where Kobe is the main ball handler. Look at Derozan shooting over 50% from the field, Derozan had worst efficiency than Kobe in Toronto. Your telling me that Demar can shoot over 50% but Kobe can’t
Kobe was a god this season!! 0’7 Kobe was like a mix of 2012 Kobe and 0’5 Kobe. Master student of the game. ObiWon Konibe or however u spell it indeed.
Awesome highlights! If the Lakers didn't give up 2 20 point leads & if Andrew Bynum and Trevor Ariza was healthy. The Lakers could've 3 peat. No one talks about this!
@@KevinPojani24 truly Trevor Ariza was the only missing piece. Its disrespectful for the Media to bring up Kendrick Perkins being out 2010 finals game 7. But fail to mention Ariza or Bynum being out or out of rhythm the entire 08 playoffs.
Yeah but jordan carried the bulls when pippen was injured in 98 so kobe should have closed that game 4, even tho the refs let the Celtics get away with moving screens all game. I think a couple different things make kobes argument against jordan weaker and that is 2004 finals, 2008 finals, and then 2006 not beating the suns. If he won those he would be the undisputed greatest ever
It’s crazy that both this season and Curry’s 15-16 MVP season both ended with no chip, and they are two of not only my favorite but possibly the best MVP seasons ever (w/ all due respect to Jordan who I need to review his 91-93 seasons which I know are his prime).
I love Kobe, one of my top 5 favorite players ever! But in serious no bias discussion he can’t be the goat simply because he’s not a do it all type player statistically and legacy wise.. he only has 2 Finals MVPs out of his 5 Championships, he only edged top tier in his scoring... while if he bumped assists and rebound numbers up he could possibly be in that conversation. I have him at #6 All Time, 1. MJ 2. LeBron 3. Kareem 4. Wilt 5. Magic 6. Kobe 7. Tim 8. Larry 9. Hakeem 10. Shaq
@GEO GOAT lol, legacy wise Kobe is 8-10, skill wise bumps him up to 6 for me, if we’re judging just off of scoring skill he’s number 2 or 3 all time. He doesn’t have the playmaking passing threat to make him the #1 skilled of all time. He’s still a good passer but the threat to wear if you double team him he will kill you with his passing ability... Kobe usually just shoots over. And this is where you’re wrong, you’re seeing me as a Kobe hater when I literally love Kobe and he’s basically my favorite player ever ( in the top 5 range because I love a lot of players ).. I’m just here to tell the truth.
This was the first season I started watching Basketball. Everyone knows Kobe, with the Short elbow Sleeve, was a different Beast lol. My favorite season of his, that I saw live. At the time, I was pissed off because I wanted Kobe to avenge LeBron, after he (LeBron) lost to the Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Semi-Final. Very Deserving of the MVP in 08. Followed by the Redeem Team in the 2008 Olympics! Great year for Basketball.
He had everything working that season and probably could've easily put up 30+ppg had he not pulled back. Only player close to him in shot creation and body control is MJ. No one else is close.
@@ezekwu just stop it... yall be gassing kobe up just because he died, he was nowhere near michael jordan. Rip Kobe and Gigi, but chill with these ridiculous statements
Chris you just now seeing it, maybe bc you’re new to Kobe videos. It’s easy to see when comments are posted on RU-vid. You can find PLENTY of comments of people saying Kobe is their goat long before he died. It’s all in preference. It’s in the eye of the beholder. Kobe was my 🐐 prior to his death and still is.
Kobe was getting so mature these years from that 04 season to this a big improvement in that category as soon as he knew he had a team he can compete with his game changed from averaging 35 a game to playing more team ball and picking his spots when to operate he was definitely a mvp this a robbed of two other
The Greatest of all time the black mamba lethal on the court venomous with his slithers with a master piece of a jump shot so artistic he should have another Oscar for it RIP MAMBA MY IDOL GONE TO SOON LOVE YOU KOBSTER VINO TAKE CARE SO LONG LEGEND FOREVER AND ALWAYS
Kobe is the G.O.A.T student of the game. He had everything in his toolbox, shooting, ball handling, clutch plays, footwork, court vision, just everything. Man was unstoppable.
MaxaMillion711, Kobe floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee! He's the winner oh, man the footwork and the moves he keeps putting on this team. He's destiny to win. Go, Kobe.
@@ClashingWithL Yet he is way more efficient out in every aspect of the game, better playmaker, faster, stronger, and a more versatile defender since he could guard all 5 in 2013 🤔
The only downside to 08 Kobe was losing to the Celtics in the finals. His ranking in the GOAT list would've been even higher had he actually won a 3-peat as the main guy.
He only won two rings. Shaq shared the other three. Shame Kobe couldn't have shared one of his. Kobe was the beginning of diva basketball. He knocked himself out of a lot of rings and LA screwed themselves out of prime Lebron. Poetic justice.
Lol most missed shots in NBA , 43% from the field for his career. Over shooting ball hog. People compare this bum too MJ lmfao it's so funny. Mike barely shot under 50%. Aside from the wizards years and his short 94 season where he was rusty as fuck from playing baseball
@@sifter456 People compare him to Mike because their play styles were similar, Michael had the athleticism to match with his skills, Kobe didn’t have all that, that’s why he was sweating in the gym all day, no need to call him a bum though
This IS the mambas PRIME. His physical prime by far. This whole season he had a bounce in his step played pissed off and angry the entire year more so than ever before. Look@ his strongest as well. This was my favorite version of him. Folded sleeve and medoin socks kobe was relentless. Followed by the calf sleeve kobe and than the mini fro kobe
Prime years 05 06 07 bro had no help 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ so the record wasn’t the best even tho you needed 50 wins just to be a 7th or 8th seed in west during tht era but the mvp award is overrated in my opinion and people value it to much like just cuz someone has more mvps than Kobe don’t mean they better him but thts how people treat it 🤦🏾♂️
@@messiahx904 crazy that in 06 he was 5 wins away from 50 with that squad. West was stacked that year, if the lakers were in the east they would've been a 5 seed
I was 14 during this season. This is the season I started to love and appreciate Kobe’s greatness since he got a lot more mature. 2008 was a great year......a lot of good old memories
I lived for this moment to see Kobe play anytime. He's amazing and true to his craft. I just love to see him play, never a dull moment. Thank you for this video and sharing it with us, thank you. R.I.P. Kobe
I respect the prior greats, the many they are but still without a doubt or argument kobe is cemented in the top 5 and in my own honest opinion, specifically at number 2 behind Jordan of course. The most skilled and fearless scorer ever robbed of obvious MVP's he should have had at least 3 If not 4. Winning 2 rings without star power carrying a team of average Joe's to 2 straight championship victories. RIP 24/8 #2GOAT
i don't know how people can watch this and not see the most skilled player of all time, man he was special. Nobody back then or today has a set of skills like kobe did.
Imo, This was the beginning of Kobe fully understanding the all around game on a higher level. This Kobe (2007-2010) resembles 2nd 3peat Jordan the most. I still say Prime D Wade (04-07) resembles more of the 1st 3Peat Jordan.
Avril Lavigne you mean LeChoke. The guy who outplayed by Jason Terry in the finals, The guy who crossed up by Evan Turner The guy who got his shot blocked by Mario Henozia And most importantly the guy who is 3-6 in the finals? That guy is better than Kobe. While Kobe is in the gym when things go bad and LeBron goes to other teams and recruit superstars to win.
*_At this point it's just too easy for @MaxaMillion711. Dude is the best at what he does hands down. Can we get a upload like this for whatever seasons players like Pierce and McGrady were in the mvp running/discussion? _**_#Max4President_**_ _**_#Knicks4Life_**_ _**_#BuckeyesForLife_**_ _**_#BendsTheKneesGang_**_ _**_#Giants4Life_**_ _**_#BuckeyesForLife_*
I never get tired of watching Kobe and the Lakers, man Kobe is a champion. I really love watching him play especially when he does the 360, that is awesome, the way he plays.
Kobe the greatest defensive player and scorer, nobody can do all the things he does. Thanks, Maxamillion711 for sharing with us, Kobe Bryant Highlights From The 2007-2008 Season. Kobe has never been given any kind of credit for his defensive tackiest, he does more to many sure that the team win than anyone on the team. It's like he's carrying the team on his back all the time no matter who is on the team. Kobe is a well-rounded player, yes he's the GOAT and he's a Legend. Kobe is more than that he will always be more than, his defensive defies gravity. He elevates himself far beyond what a point guard does. With Kobe, it is "Go Big or Go Home" but in this case, it "Win or Lose" and losing is unacceptable, He'll get it done if he has to stretch to the higher than anyone, with him, there are no limits as to how high he jumps in order to get the ball and score. Kobe pushest himself beyond the limits of an athlete. I know he has a vision and he can see, beyond anyone on the court, his focus is so surreal. He's our Superman went he's on the court. And everyone that is playing ball should take a look at Kobe the way he scores, how he scores, how he read his opponent, how he read the plays while he on the court. He knows everything, he pays attention to detail, the way he plays is beyond what the average players do. They should take a closer look as to how Kobe play and take some of that-that Kobe does and think about naming some of the plays like the pull-up shots, the windmill, his fake moves, the positions that he likes to post up and make his shots of course with Kobe that could be anywhere on the court. They all should think about these plays and consider naming them after Kobe. So, no one will ever forget him they will always remember him on the court. If they don't want to do that they should think about renaming the Staple Center to"The House That Kobe Built" He played there for over half of his life he definitely needs more than a statue. Kobe is from another planet, you can not box him and try to define him. Black Mamba does not define who Kobe is, because he has done so much on the court to ensure his team win, he a winner, and a winner can not define. His gift, his talent stretches far beyond the basketball court. So, do not box Kobe in, because the man is Great, and no one has ever and will ever be as great a player as he is, Kobe has climbed so many mountains to get to where he is today. It would be well worth this generation of players to really take a look at how Kobe played and how Kobe won on the court and off the court. He has God's Favor. So please stop disregarding him, he has earned the right to in all conversations concerning the games, the disrespect of Kobe speech volumes. It lets us fans know how you truly feel about Kobe. You say one thing out of your mouth and turn around do something entirely different. If Kobe is the only play that's so much- much like Jordan then give Him and Jordan the respect befitting of them. No one can compare to either one of them, because they are uqient, the same as all the Goats on Goats Mountian. So stop directing Kobe. As Michael Jordan said "He's His Little Brother" I agree.
You are good Max amazing Work...for me best Kobe seasons/playoffs a part from them where 2003 2001 and 2013 most people forget because Injury i hope you work on these stay Strong and safe💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
This is great work. Thank you for this video. I love revisiting this season. It's my favorite one from Kobe. Really wish it had ended in a championship, but the Lakers got their revenge eventually. Much respect Max!
Kobe , MJ then everyone else after … man Kobe game was absolutely beautiful.. no weaknesses.. a thing of beauty.. no flopping .. no crying.. Kobe is my goat
This guy hit a 12 foot left handed baby hook. Yooo he’s the most skilled of all time. MJ has the best career but Kobe will make any shot any day. Anybody else remember the left handed 3 pointer he hit in the corner with a guy draped on his right hand so he put it up with the left and drained it as the shot clock winded down. Against the Mavs and Mark Cuban is in the back like wtf was that dude?!
The year kobe should have won MVP he maybe didn’t have the best team record but he was so unbelievable to watch those few years of averaging 30+ a season
This was VINTAGE Kobe Bryant in his prime, he was absolutely unstoppable! He was LETHAL from any spot on the floor from the paint, midrange, downtown... not to mention, the level of skill and difficulty behind those shots was ridiculous! There is no question that he was deserving of the MVP during the 2007-'08 season but he should have more than one to his name because he was putting on a show prior to that season and that is nothing but FACTS! There'll never be another Black Mamba!
