Kobe Bryant could score 100 in a game in today's NBA - Tracy McGrady | The Jump 

I like how all the mid 2000s players make sure they keep Kobe name alive and show respect because this generation tries to forget

U can't compare Kobe and harden, Kobe is in a completely different level

Kobe can score 100 and still be the best defensive player on the court in today's game no kidding, he's crazy when it comes to basketball

the mutual respect between tmac n kobe simply moves me

He scored 81 and 62 in 3 Quarters while getting poked in his eyes, hand checked, got smacked all over his arms while driving the ball to the rim. Can you imagine if he got Hardens treatment. Stop it!!

Kobe out scored the entire Mavs team 62-61 in 3Qs.

Paul Pierce hate when T Mac talk about Kobe🤣🤣🤧

Kobe: (Modern Record's) 27 40+ points in a season. 9 straight 40+ points in a season. 136 40+ point games. 27 50+ point games. 10 50+ points in a season. 30+ in a Q twice. 55 points in a half. 2882 points in a season. 35.4 ppg for season. 978 field goals in a season. 81 points in a game.(41 mins played) 62 in 3 Q outscored opposing team score. 40+ ppg for a month 4x(nba record) 7 60+ point games.(would be 13 but did not play 4th Q's. 33648 points in career. 4 straight 50+ point games. 4 straight 45+ pont games. 431 30+ point games. 40 against every nba arena. Oldest player to 30+ 9 straight point games. Oldest player to 40+ in 4 straight point games. Etc etc!! Let me add, kobe, did all this in the West. In his scoring rampage prime had smush, kwame and luke as starters... and, kobe had injuries.. and.. kobe did not have an athletic edge. Skill and will..

Kobe had 60 in his last game. 100 is definitely within reach for Kobe.

I ve scored a 100 points with Kobe on 2K so Tracy’s comment checks out.

You guys forgot kwame and kobe score 82 points combined against the raptors 💪🏼

Kobe would score 100 and still lock his man up, dont forget his 9 time all NBA first team defensive team selections, 12 overall....

Kobe would be ridiculous in this era! He had a 50+ point streak, was outscoring TEAMS (62 in 3 qtrs), dropped 81, and had 60 in his last game after tons of injuries and mileage! He did this in a tougher era plus a slower pace with less spacing/3s. Kobe was arguably the most skilled player ever with the best arsenal of moves. In this new, Kobe would average 40+ and put up ridiculous numbers! He needs more respect on his name.

I love how much tmac respects KOBE

T-Mac said it all! Those words went straight out of his mouth! "Harden can't do that with the era that we played in."

TMac's respect and praise on Kobe is unbelievable, him being one of the best offensive player and take note he was also a lockdown defender he is a 2 way player. In today's game he is like Paul George but T Mac is more flashy tho George can be but he is playing with care now despite being traumatize with that nasty injury. Handsdown on T Mac for always recognizing the GOAT Kobe, real recognizes real he faced a young to Prime Kobe thats why he noticed how Scary he was back then he will hunt you down defensively and offensively, right now theres no player as much as they were back then the love for the game the hunger the urge to lockdown the best opponent. None theres none.

*bruh, kobe scored 60 points in his last game, bruised and battered up at age 37, 20 years into the league with not much left in his body. PRIME KOBE could easily drop 100 in today's era.* Nothing beats the mid 90's to mid 2000's basketball. We were blessed.

Kobe could have scored 100 back then if Phil stopped benching him in the third quarter.

I just came to hear them praise my guy Kobe. I enjoyed it. Thank you. 👋🏼👋🏼

Rest In Peace Kobe🐐 We all know how important you was and still are to us. One of the hardest working person I have ever seen.❤❤❤

If a 38 year old Kobe with half of his offensive arsenal can get 60 in this era what do you think a prime locked in Kobe would do?

LET EM KNOW TMAC, stop disrespecting the mamba. If he could score 81 back then tf stopping him from taking more shots vs worse defenders now... Also the 63 through quarters game, he could've hit 100 there too

In 8 days since he died ,i’ve seen more videos about Kobe than i ever did , youtube really don’t want me to recover from what i am going through, my heart sinks at every clips you recommend me , so stop please

The game Kobe dropped 81, he was still red hot after the 3rd quarter. Imagine what would’ve happened in the 4th quarter. I don’t think we will ever see anyone go past Kobe’s career high ever in the NBA. Even in today’s era

Kobe scored 60 in his last game, post-torn Achilles tear, torn rotator cuff, and fractured tibia at the age 38.

He scored 81. What’s 19 more 👀🤯

Kobe would def drop 100 in today’s game

Mad respect for T-Mac's IQ 💯

KOBE really could score 100 in today's game. I think quite easily too!!

Prime Kobe.. ABSOLUTELY. Today’s game is weak as hell. Kobe would get at least 30+ free throws with how soft todays game is 😂

Harden don't play Defense Kobe did.

Harden will post up someone 5’6 and he’ll flop like someone shot him. GTFOH 😂

I'm a lebron fan, and I can say Kobe could definitely hit a fat streak and hit a 100 in today's NBA.

WIlt became the low-key GOAT. The greatest regular season player ever. Definitely the greatest athlete. Banging 20,000 women is hard to do.

They would be standing around watching him do it. This man dropped 60 in his last game years removed from his prime because of his injuries. Prime Kobe would drop 120 if he wanted to.

*Imagine Tracy & Kobe in the same team. Best Duo ever!*

Last of a dying breed the real NBA died when Kobe retired.

I agree with him. Nowadays NBA players are allergic to defense so I think Kobe in his prime could definitely drop 100 if not close

Kobe could score 100 in today's League even MJ. Pierce is just still salty about that Final's against Kobe 😂

I watch a lot of these videos with the two and I love how t mac broke down the amount of attempts players take now versus their day. They all shot like Kobe did.

Lakers 100-99 Warriors Curry - 25 Durant - 25 Thompson - 25 Cousins - 24 Bryant - 100

Y’all need to put some Respek on Kobe’s name

Hey, T-MAC, if Kobe can do it, you can as well.

Nba is soft now Tracy is right they couldn't do that in there era's

Phil stopped kobe from his streak so Shaq could get his competitive fire back when he came back from injury

Prime Kobe in today's Nba 41.2/7/5

Wow Mcgrady was really showing Kobe the love and appreciation long before he left us

In Kobe's younger days, he's just as fierce in defense as he was on offense. It's just later on that age caught up with him a little that he felt the need to focus more on offense to carry his team's offensive load.

Kobe is the greatest scorer of all time period.. Nobody got hot like Kobe.. 4 straight 50 point games.. 81 points.. 62 in 3 quarters on the Mavs.. averaged 35 in a season.. Number 3 all time scorer !! Even with all these threes these boys not passing Kobe.. Cmon now and some 15 year old will say he shot this many shots or this percent I just laugh at the ignorance... He won his whole career with it more then LeBron with what he does.. And played with bums for years before Gasol who doesn't compare to having Wade or Kyrie..

Tmac is being humble. A prime Tmac could score 100 as well.

“hella famous in china”☠️😂

I can’t believe it has been a decade since Kobe scored 81pts.

Man could you imagine Kobe, Tmac, Iverson in this era?? All 3 could average 40-45 pts a game in today's game

Didn't old Kobe score 60 without any legs just about 3 years ago? He had Harden-type numbers as well, shot 22-50 and 6-21 from three. Of course prime Kobe could drop 100 if he tried in today's era.

99-00 season (first major steps toward handchecking removal) Handchecking had been slowed down to a small degree in the late 90s, but not anywhere close to the massive change that was introduced starting in 99/00. "In the backcourt, there is no contact with hands and forearms by defenders. In the frontcourt, there is no contact with hands and forearms by defenders except below the free throw line extended in which case the defender may only use his forearm." So by this point, handchecking is for all intents and purposed removed - "There is no contact with hands" and "the defender may only use his forearm" below the FT line extended. 00-01 season - new rules that further decreased amount of contact allowed by a defender "No contact with either hands or forearms by defenders except in the frontcourt below the free throw line extended in which case the defender may use his forearm only." "Neither the offensive player nor the defender will be allowed to dislodge or displace a player who has legally obtained a position." "Defender may not use his forearm, shoulder, hip or hand to reroute or hold-up an offensive player going from point A to Point B or one who is attempting to come around a legal screen set by another offensive player." "Slowing or impeding the progress of the screener by grabbing, clutching, holding “chucking” or “wrapping up” is prohibited." "On the weakside, defenders must remain on the weakside outside the paint unless (i) they are double-teaming the ball, (ii) picking up a free cutter or (iii) closely guarding an offensive player." 01-02 season - Addition of illegal defensive 3 seconds rules to weaken defenses even more. "A new defensive three-second rule will prohibit a defensive player from remaining in the lane for more than three consecutive seconds without closely guarding an offensive player." This rule makes it much easier to drive in the lane, because bigs can no longer camp out in the lane and deter drives to the basket like they did in the 80s and 90s. 04-05 season "New rules were introduced to curtail hand-checking, clarify blocking fouls and call defensive three seconds to open up the game." "The truth is, it makes the game [where] players have to be more skillful. Nowadays, literally anybody can get out there and get to the basket and you can't touch anybody. Back then, if guys put their hands on you, you had to have the skill to be able to go both ways, change direction, post up, you had to have a mid-range game because you didn't want to go all the way to the basket because you would get knocked ass over tea kettle. So I think playing the game back then required MUCH MORE SKILL." --Kobe Bryant on 80/90s basketball

Love Paul Pierce's accolades they show at 3:02 lmao

If a 5'11 Allen Iverson could drop 60 points in a game or 48 Points against a PRIME Shaq AND Kobe in the Finals, Imagine what kind of numbers he would drop into todays weak game. Iverson and Kobe both averaged 33+ppg in 2006. I honestly believe they would be 40ppg players in this day and age. I agree with T-Mac - Kobe would have Wilt's scoring record in todays game. Prime Iverson, T-Mac, Shaq, Kobe would be dropping monster numbers in 2019.

Kobe is a Mount Rushmore player and IMO the most skilled basketball player EVER. How quickly they forget man it makes me sick.

All stats now.. Kobe had both and a lot more! stats and leadership! passion! killed instinct in court!

Tmac always showing love to kobe bean mad respect 🔥💯

You're disrespectful Rachel. Never speak of Kobe and Harden in the same sentence. Harden is garbage while Kobe is great. Kobe played defense, Harden never did. Kobe's got rings, Harden doesn't.

Kobe Bryant definitely could if he scored 81 then he could score 100 points

Kobe with a broken finger, ruptured Achilles > James Harden Fight me

Great conversation 👍

I’m sure Jalen Rose agrees

It's a stat-padding league now. Jordan could average a triple double for his career if he really wanted to, same with Kobe. In my opinion, today's guys think that if they put up triple doubles they're absolved from any criticism, especially if they don't win a ring. "oh he's gotta do all that for them to win. Look at what this guy is doing. It's never been done." Yeah, taking rebounds away from your big man and assists away from your point guard has never been done the way it has today. Lebron, Westbrook, Harden are perfect examples. Then they wonder why their teams struggle. You disrupt their flow to the game. "But he averages 35/10/10. GOAT." Yeah, at the expense of his teammates not being productive.

Paul Pierce: “Was once pantsed by Ron Artest” 😂

I really enjoy Tracy McGrady’s insight and comments. He has a high basketball IQ.

I could see Kobe averaging 100 for at least a month.

Kobe could put up 150 in today’s soft ass nba. He would have 20 free throw attempts a game.

People hates and downplays Kobe because they know Kobe is a one tough son of a gun (if not the toughest in NBA basketball that I've ever seen) but I think they do that because deep down they respected him and what he had giving the game. Ps: Kobe would totally score 100 if he does all the traveling/free throws Harden is doing.

Modern NBA sucks. Everyone just runs around chucking up 3s with no defense cause of rules. Lame.

Kobe could indeed . Today’s NBA has few Assassins , and the rip your heart mentality like Kobe . Kyrie and Russell are only superstars with this instinct

Kobe can score 100pt in today game, if he play like Harden without trying on D

If you watch Iverson played, whenever he drove to the basket, he was knocked down hard on the floor, yet he still scored 30 per game. Imagine in today’s game, you can’t touch him.

T-MAC said it all. Preach bro! Man he is so spot on with what he had to say about being able to play defense on players these days.

no doubt! He got the mamba mentality that nba players don't today.

And finally someone said this !!!! None of these boys can do what they are doing now back then when t-Mac Kobe Vince AI where playing bruh I swear to god bruh thank you t-Mac for saying this ,I been saying this shit for YEARSS!!

It’s crazy how much respect Kobe gets from his peers. Not the same for Lebron.

3:02 “was once pantsed by ron artest”

Man paul is just salty about kobe

I’m an MJ fanatic but I don’t get why they compare Lebron to MJ because Lebrons not even better than Kobe

i love Tmac and Pierce, two inteligent guy on and offcourt

LOL! Paul Pierce's description "Was once pantsed by Ron Artest." Niceee!!!

Kobe had 41pts... with 4 min left to play in The SECOND QUARTER! That's Crazy. He had that type of fire power.

Perfect MJ answer!! Got to luv it!!

3:03 “Was once pantsed by Ron Artest”

He scored 42 in the first half in 2003. Let that sink in. He was on pace for 84. Back when the game was a lot slower and more physical.

You better be quiet TMAC Lebron fans are about to get in their feelings 😂😂😂

Peaple that say its Bullshit that the NBA had harder D back then *they don't know basketball* They scoring 140 every game now!!! that was rare back then even a couple years ago...

i love Tmac and Pierce, 2 inteligent guy on and offcourt

Absolutely right

Let's not forget, Kobe played the game at both ends, while Harden is allergic to defense. With the rule change, all the flopping foul calls he gets, the traveling/carrying he gets away with (look at the highlight at 2:11 with his one-handed cross-over), the offensive fouls he gets away with (2:23 pushing Lanzo off), AND not playing defense... shit he would be bouncing around the league avg 15 points at best with 7 turn-overs a game in Kobe's era.

lmaoo at the description at 3:05

That description for Mcgrady 😂 1:24

Jordan, kobe, AND THEN LBJ. dude has to pass kobe to even compare to Jordan!

Well yeah put up 81 way back then so 19more In today's NBA yeah not stretch at all... black mamba killer assassin .....

Kobe get the hardest dirty plays from opponent, and he still can make awesome champion season

did anybody else read was "once pantsed by ron artest"under paul pierce when he was talkin lol

the GOAT says it how it is.
