Kobe Bryant 4th Championship, Full Series Highlights vs Magic (2009 NBA Finals) - Finals MVP! HD 

man just seeing him hug his daughters at the end.. im crying.. RIP Kobe.

Don't mind me ... Just reliving my childhood due to the dreadful RU-vid algorithrm R.I.P Black Mamba. The best to ever do it. (8/23/78-1/26/20)

Jus look at the difficulty of dem shots!!🤦🏽‍♂️ the mentality too strong, this y Kobe’s the greatest to me.

The series that proved he didn't need Shaq to win a title. RIP Kobe.

I miss when they used to put the finals decals in the floor

Kobe Bryant Game 1 the most underrated Performance in NBA History, Look at him making those out of this world shots!! That game has to be mentioned more.

Lebron is lucky he lost to the magic. Getting swept by kobe and the lakers would have ruined his legacy.

His SKILL!...man no words. This guy is the greatest I ever seen. You can argue stats, rings etc....But you can't argue skill. Most skilled player ALL-TIME! Sure do miss The Mamba.

R.I.P LEGEND Kobe Bean Bryant and daughter Gianna You Will Always Be Rememberd 1978-2020

RIP to Kobe, Gigi, David Stern, Bill Russell and Stuart Scott... wild seeing all 5 of them standing next to each other when they give Kobe the Finals MVP

Even MJ admits, that Kobe is the only human being to live that he doesn't think he could guard.

I miss Kobe being the best/ put some respect on his name kids

R.I.P. Legend! Some didn’t appreciate your greatness! 😔

imagine a prime kobe in this era woof

now I understand what separates the greats from the rest, when you check how Kobe orchestrates the game, you know he is always in control. thats why he can get anywhere he wants

kobe offense really was flawless

Pau Gasol's screams are legendary

I remember watching this Finals series when I was 12 and was just amazed by how Kobe carried himself and led his team. I cannot believe he is gone. You inspired millions around the world. Thank you Kobe.

The highlights are insane how does he make with that defense and contest

Dude. Those shots, talk about difficult. He barely got em up and they still went in.

• From 2008-2010, Kobe and the Lakers faced 11 50+ Win teams out of a possible 12 (the exception was the 48 win Utah Jazz). •Kobe had more 30-point playoff games during his 2009 run than anyone since Jordan and his 2010 run is tied for second since Jordan. • Kobe Bryant is the only Finals MVP in 50 years to score 32 points while dishing out at least 7 assists. • His 1999 points during the Lakers 08-10 run is still the most ever by a player in three consecutive postseasons. • Despite his poor shooting, Kobe Bryant led the 2010 NBA Finals series in steals and defensive rating. • Bryant also out-rebounded every player in the series (including the Celtics), except for a 7-foot Pau Gasol. • Bryant’s 15 boards in Game 7 is the most rebounds in a Finals games by a shooting guard. • The Mamba did not shoot well for 3 games in the 2010 Finals and most of the 1st Round against the Thunder, however from Game 6 of the 1st Round to Game 1 of the 2010 NBA Finals, Kobe averaged 32.7 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 6.8 apg on 51/42/86 shooting splits. • In those 12 games, Bryant scored at least 30 points in 11. • 2009 West Finals + NBA Finals: 33.3 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 6.5 apg, 45/35/90 • 2010 West Finals + NBA Finals: 30.9 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 5.9 apg, 46/37/88 • Kobe Bryant was more efficient shooting wise in his 2008-2010 playoff run than Michael Jordan was during his 1996-1998 three-peat. 2008-10 Kobe was incredible. Oh yeah, he also did it with a bum knee and a messed up finger...on his shooting hand.

Fisher was Kobe’s right hand man. That man deserves a lot more credit.

Rewatching this to appreciate greatness. Rest in peace Kobe. Mamba out

Basketball was better 10 years ago. Post-ups, driving lay-ups, mid-range jumpers. Now most shots are catch and shoot threes.

People forget how great kobe was. Nobody makes those kind of shots anymore. RIP to the GOAT. We will miss you, youll always be in our hearts.

Stuart Scott interviewing Kobe at the end really had me emotional RIP to 2 MVPs

1st Championship: 15.6 ppg - 4.6 rpg - 4.2 apg 2nd Championship: 24.6 ppg - 7.8 rpg - 5.8 apg 3rd Championship: 26.8 ppg - 5.8 rpg - 5.3 apg 4th Championship: 32.4 ppg - 5.6 rpg - 7.4 apg 5th Championship: 28.6 ppg - 8.0 rpg - 3.9 apg And the real fact is that during his prime years he was stuck with rebuilding. The GOAT.

Best player of this generation

Watching Kobe 2008-2010 run was special. His 1st ring without Shaq was truly something to watch. He was literally owning the league during his era. Always appreciate greatness while you can, never wait. RIP King

I watched this series back in 2009 and i rooted turkoglu to be finals mvp. He was mr 4th quarter for magic and so influential on magic's journey during playoff round. But at the end , Kobe was too strong. He dominated almost every game of the series. Top 5 players of all time definitely

Kob got fouled a thousand times on all those drives.

I wonder what Magic fans were thinking when Kobe kept hitting those crazy shots.

Nobody took as many tough shots as Kobe Bryant that’s why he’s my favorite NBA player of all-time RIP Kobe there will never be another Kobe Bryant!!!

what people don't understand was that year 2009 kobe was fucking unstoppable ... godlike

Greatest player I have ever seen is Kobe bean Bryant .i thank my dad for making me go turn on tv and watch 2009 finals. That’s was wen I first saw Kobe. Rest In Peace KB.

Whenever im truly going through a rough patch or down on my luck i always go to Kobe clips and that same inspiration he gave me to grind as a child pushes me to better myself now. Mamba mentality!

Kobe playmaking is hella underrated. Look how even when he’s in attack mode, he still controls the tempo to get his bigs and shooters involved. People think Kobe game isn’t all around. And it’s actually crazy when you break his game down to a science. He’s an attack scorer that can facilitate very decisively even in attack mode. I love it

Rest in peace Kobe 🙏😢

2009 Kobe was the best they need that team in 2k19. He made magic look like nothing.

People forget about Kobe (the youth) everybody forget D. Howard lead the Magic to the Finals

This year was cookie for kobe

And folks said Kobe doesn't pass the ball. SMH

I feel so sorry for Michael Pietrus. A man died on the inside in these finals :(

This is A Team not A super team!! 1 superstar 1allstar and Gr8 role players!

RIP Kobe I’ll miss you bro

Kobe in 2009-2010 he's really unstoppable, nobody can lock him..

Look at the level of confidence his teammates have! Trevor Ariza Sasha Vuicic Andrew Bynum Lamar Odom etc. Kobe raised all these guys level of plAy with the exception of gasol and Ariza after most these players left the Lakers they careers were over.

In a way, the recent 2022 Finals with Curry winning his first Finals MVP reminds me so much of this moment for Kobe. Both are fantastic players but never won a FMVP despite winning 3 Championships. Both had another star player on the team (Shaq and KD respectively) who won those while people thought Kobe and Steph were carried. Curry’s 2022 and Kobe’s 2009 cemented their legacies. They didn’t need another big star, they were just hungry for another. Congrats Steph and RIP Kobe!!!!!

I grew up a bulls fan. I idolize Jordan even to this day, but my brother was a HUGE Kobe fan especially during this stage in his career when he practically took a group of nobodies to the finals (no disrespect to Pau or Bynum). Mass respect to Mamba for finishing your career the right way. You’ll always be ahead of LeBron on my list!

I love how Kobe didn't flop not even once 🔥👊🏽

Even tho He Said 2010 Vs. Boston Meant More to Him this series Was His Best Finals Performance. R.I.P Mamba🐍

I remember Stephen a said Kobe would never win a title without Shaq.....Back to Back titles on that a##!!!!!.......Goat!

Kobe has to go a lot of hardwork just to win the championship. I mean he wins it all despite having a non-super team. He was the biggest threat to every team back then that's why you can see him get double defenders, triple defenders or even quadruple defenders. Imagine the 2009 lakers without Kobe, they wouldn't even go to the playoffs because of the legacies and super teams built back then. This is why I believe that Kobe can't be compared to any of the NBA players today. He doesn't have a player like Ray Allen to shoot a crucial three pointer against the spurs, he doesn't have Klay Thompson and Andre Igoudala to help the team to win games, he only had a decent teammate/s in which because of his leadership in basketball lead that team to victory. The leadership and the great plays of a player could be contagious creating a momentum for the team. That is what Kobe has to do since he is the only player to step-up to the challenge of beating every team in the NBA.

Kobe real King

Kobe's ability to create just enough room to get his shot off is the product of studying all the greats before him. But his ability to MAKE those shots is all him -- talent and practice.

Best moments and great memories We will not forget Black mamba 💔

RIP to One of the best to do it.

imagine this 2010 Kobe played in today's nba. free throw all night.

Dam the way Kobe would shoot the ball and the back spin on it is legit a thing of beauty. So perfect

Greatness Kobe Bryant

Kobe damn near won a 3peat without another superstar! No one seems to ever bring that up...

R.I.P Kobe and his daughter Gigi It was great watching you play when I was younger.

Players who won a Finals that Avg 32PPG 7assist Kobe end of list thank you for the memories 2009 feels like yesterday when I watch this in June 2023 even the Love LA hits hits hard going to commercial

“Your not gonna win allowing jj Reddit one on one with Kobe thats a recipe for desaster”😂😂

Insane to think that the one time Dwight Howard was in a Finals, he lost to the Lakers, and the 2nd time he was in the Finals, he won as a Laker.

Y’all telling me this man was not the best player in the world in 09?? Stop it.

Kobe was something else. No wonder he is #2 all-time behind MJ.

Rest in Peace Our Goat 😢🙏💯 #MambaForever #MambaOut

Damnit I miss this Kobe

That magic team was great man

Lebron could never make the shots Kobe made with all that swarming defence. 2-3 defenders on him, no call, nothing but net. Imagine if Kobe played today... 40ppg easily.

Thank you... Kobe Bryant for giving you moments of joy that we will never forget you rest in peace, you and your daughter Gigi. God have you in his holy glory.. Thanks..RIP

Kobe's 2 titles without shaq are some of the most under appreciated titles. To me they are what make him no.2 behind Jordan.

RIP LEGEND RIP BLACK MAMBA RIP GREATEST LAKERS OF ALL TIME RIP GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME RIP MR. KOBE BRYANT

Why do we have to be in a world with out Kobe and his daughter? 😢 It just isn't fair.

Spending my night watching these highlights. 😢 R.I.P. KOBE 💜💛 Laker nation loves you and Gigi forever

Sometimes we forget how truly great he was at the game of basketball. We get carried away now with Curry, Luka Doncic, Giannis, Lebron. But honest to God, MJ aside, Kobe at his best is just more transcending than anyone ever. What a mystical figure.. RIP Legend.

bro Pietrus was hacking Kobe the WHOLE series

I love you Kobe. The greatest of all time for me and to those who truly grew up watching you… 💜💛

They dominated the Magic and put an end to the theory that Kobe can't win a ring without Shaq. Ironically he ended up with more rings than Shaq. #MambaOut🐍 #MambaMentality🐍

Kobe was so ridiculously underrated. . He went back to back in year 13 & 14 of his career !!!! Who does that ?

Just to be able to see the joy in Kobe’s face as he started to jump up and down and celebrate winning his 4th did nothing but put a smile on my face as if He was one of my homies...even though I watched this game live it has a different meaning now that I’m older and got a chance to watch it again, Thank you kobe 🖤🐍

no one can guard the GOAT

Who would’ve thought a decade later Dwight Howard got exposed for getting his cheeks busted 💯

RIP KOBE ALWAYS USTO WATCH THESE PLAYOFFS WHEN I WAS 13 14 TO 15 NOW IM 25 😭 true legend

Greatness. Definitely the best player of the 2000s, and the best player in the world at the time of these finals

R.I.P. Stuart Scott we lost him too soon

The fact the lakers won 4-1 doesn’t incapsulate how competitive this series actually was. Orlando had a hell of a series

Never forgotten Kobe and Stewart Scott.

Kobe we will miss the moment that everytime u play in the finals and get winning championship i alaways watch it and i'm the one who saw and witnessed your legacy since i was a kid then because of that i become your fan i will really miss you not just an athlete but for a good person that inspired so many people especially the youth thank you for being a hero to all of us. I'm so hurt my idol my life was full sadness since you're gone and the worse your're gone with your lovable daughter 😢💔.

Thank you Kobe Bryant for being my childhood hero. I always wanted to play basketball like you or at least at that competitive level, but I never got there. You gave me memories that I will forever cherish with my father. We speak about how great you are, how smart you are, and how meaningful you have become in the Los Angeles Lakers organization, but to Los Angeles itself. You stayed 20 full years in the NBA with one team. You have every ones respect and love for many years to come. Boy or girl, you sparked an intense fire and gave us another reason why we should be out on the court in the blistering hot weather, in a dry dry afternoon, in a snowy drive way, a father and mother playing basketball with your jersey and your shoes. We all heard it best from Michael Jordan, that there is no comparison from Kobe to any other player in the modern NBA. Called him a little brother to show his support. Where else have you seen Michael Jordan cry for someone else in public? Clearly, Kobe impacted all types of life. A relative of sorts is the best way to think of you Kobe Bryant. You will never be forgotten. Ever. I am sorry for your loss, but I don' want to selfish; thank you for the memories. Memories that connected my father to have starter conversation and ask about how we are feeling in life right after talking about you.

I'm sure most of the jumpshots Kobe's taken in the first 5 mins of this video are going to be called and-1s in today's NBA

Kobe is more skilled than lebron and mj imo

Kobe Must be the best player of the Nba❤️❤️❤️ #RIP #MAMBA #GIGI

Kobe Would Have 7 Ring Haven’t Been For The Loss Against The Celts, And A Hot Dirk And Mavs Team, I Remember watching both series like it was yesterday. R.i.P Kobe

One of the best and greatest basketball and inspirational atlete of all time rip kobe you will never forgotten and forever legend in basketball history

Rip kobie man this shit feel unreal 💔

The finals highlights from this year and the next year vs the Celtics proves Kobe was better in his prime. We never saw Lebron making all these contested and thought shots, he just uses his athleticism and power to get to the rim. This just proves Kobe was a more skilled player.

Still re watching these highlights. Long live Kobe

Literally the only celebrity death that got to me. I’m from Massachusetts, grew up a die hard Celtics fan. But my favorite player in the world has always been Kobe Bean Bryant. Seeing him hug his daughter at the end, man I still cannot believe it. Gigi was going to help Caitlin Clark bring women’s basketball on the same level as men’s basketball. Kobe was going to be her backbone on that journey. May they both rest in peace, as well as the others who lost their lives in the tragedy.
