Kobe Bryant Full 2000 Finals Highlights vs Pacers - 1st Championship 

Imagine being 21 and this being you. How could you be humble?

I don't want to hear "Shaq carried Kobe" anymore. It took two. Kobe is goat of Lakers and top 2 ever to play in my opinion.

“how good is this kid”

It’s been over two months and still doesn’t really feel real. Through all the pain and mourning we’ve experienced in these last couple months, there’s also been an abundance of reminiscing and cherishing of Kobe’s career. I felt like I was already long overdue for uploading new videos, but after the unthinkable tragedy in January and everything that’s been happening in the world lately, I knew I couldn’t wait any longer. So whether you want to relive your favorite Kobe memories or just need some basketball to watch while the season is on hold, please enjoy this game-by-game highlight of Kobe’s first championship series. More soon!

"I don't get 5 championships here without him" - Kobe's comment about Michael Jordan 🐐 in the Last Dance Documentary

" How good is this kid" they had no idea.

Everybody said 00 was an easy ring for Kobe, but you see on this clip how special he was on 4th quarter either on offense or deffense.

Game 4 of 2000 NBA Finals was the rise of Kobe as huge clutch player.his poise was remarkable cool

That Afro gave that man the juice! Damn he had swag on the court...he knew he was the shit

Kobe deserved to give his Hall of Fame speech and see his statue outside of Staples Center 😢

Damn, I was just watching Kobe highlights earlier today and this came up in my feed. R.I.P. Mamba. My favorite player of all time.

When kobe became Kobe Bryant

KOBE & SHAQ. Best duo ever.

Never forget.... Shaq and Kobe best duo ever.

I was born Inglewood in 1983 .. was pissed that we traded Divac for a high school player...but then learned we had the same Bday.. August 23! Followed by providing my town with 5 more championships.. our bond will never die... RIP mamba!

RIP Kobe Bryant my favorite basketball player ever and childhood hero and your beautiful daughter GiGi Bryant it was awesome to watch your career

Rest in Paradise Kobe and Gianna #MambaForever

Watching Kobe Bryant Highlights Are So Different Now Kobe Bryant Is The Goat No one Has Better Highlights Then Kobe Bryant Big Facts i miss Kobe Alot And Still Hurt...

I’ve been a Laker since 1988. Kobe’s death has made me embrace the Legacy of the Purple💜 and Gold💛.💯

I just love Kobe’s confidence. 👍

The thumbnail is iconic. I remeber the scenario the conditions the variables. Kobe telling the world, I GOT THIS. WE GOOD. CALM DOWN. ILL CARRY THE LAKER NATION ON MY BACK. It was cocky. It was the truth. RIP Kobe. He did it his way. From a life long Spurs fan.

"I don't get five championships here without him." - Kobe comment on MJ in the last dance documentary 🐐

Man, just up late reminiscing. Like most die hard Lakers and die hard Kobe Bryant fans, it's like I knew kobe. Growing up watching kobe grow into a dope ball player and an awesome dude, creating a family. I'm still grieving over his loss. RIP KOBE

I remember being about 9 years old watching this finals and rooting for the pacers but looking back now I’m glad Kobe got to win this he deserved it!

Kobe Bryant gets a championship for the finale. He had won many championships. 😃😃😃💯💯💯💯💯💯✌✌👍👍👍👍

It’s a year today! R.i.P Kobe Bean Bryant! Such a inspiration to everyone. I don’t even know you personally but it broke my heart when he passed away. Black momba out

12:07 damn look at kobe's head. Legend! R.i.p. mamba💜💛

Young Kobe was on air springs. Unbelievable!

Somehow it feels he's still with us now. With some many basketball players, celebrities, and normal people share their own stories with Kobe, you feel he's never been away. Some of those stories are just normal, even tiny stories, but they've got the warm human touch. This is a cruel world, but Kobe's legacies and stories encourage me to become a better man.

Happy Birthday Kobe 🎂 thank you for leaving these great memories with us

Jalen been getting cooked by Kobe for decades

Fro Kobe was my favorite Kobe

Literally mastered MJs moves.

Kobe was a Legend.

I was in that time for Indiana because of my follow Dutchmen Rik Smits. But the young Kobe here was unbeatable one on one. He’s definitely in my top 5 greatest ever.

Afro Kobe was my always my favorite. Like I always say there’s 3 Kobe’s 1. Pre Afro 2. Afro 3. Post afro

Would’ve loved to see Kobe vs Jordan in the finals. Lakers not making it to the NBA finals vs the Bulls the year before and then Jordan retiring this year I think makes that one of the biggest what if’s in NBA history

Mj #1 Kobe #2 he doesn't get enough respect

He was good when he came in at 17. But this was the beginning of his greatness .

Imagine its a close game and your facing kobe

I can't, I can't watch any more of KOBE'S highlights without my eyes getting watery😢......MMMAAAMMMBBBAAA,OH MAMBA...R.I.P. KOBE 💜💛

Kobe was so fun to watch! He had such an amazing jump shot, so many moves and was always clutch.

We forgot how good of a passer Kobe was during those years. And how much he really valued Shaq

Kobe is an Awesome Player !!!!,RIP KOBE AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER!!!

I can’t believe I was 3 when this happened. This was why I became a lakers fan. 🪦 RIP Kobe Bryant 🏀

Came here seconds after i saw this video of Shaq where he says they marketed the rivalry between him and Kobe. Look who’s running in Shaq arms first after the victory…litteral chills.

Just makes me tear up.😥 Magic & Mamba my favorite LAkers.

Kobes smoothness and beuty of ball handling during this period was unmatched

Watching young Kobe play I can feel his electricfieying energy his skill level was so high this is only his 4th year in the league and playing like a veteran.. and Shaq was virtually unstoppable it's automatic in the paint with Shaq nothing was stopping him r.i.p Kobe Laker's in 4

Frobe was dynamic. Ahead of his time. Timeless player. RIP

You’re doing a great service to the basketball community with these videos

This Was The Hardest Championship To Win Outta Of This 3Peat Team

Never thought that you or Rahul would ever come back... thank you... KB forever 😔 ♾

I cant imagine how shaq remembering this amazing past memories 😢 i miss kobe man

Kobe hurt himself and two possessions took place before there was stoppage of play for him to leave the game. And then he was almost off the court before anyone checked to see if he was ok. Man, what a different time...

We all know that Kobe and O'Neal was a verry high tandem ever....RIP Kobe ...♥️

They were trying to hurt him on every single jumper.

The cold blooded assassin the HeroVillain the greatest of all time Kobe Bean Bryant.

The NBA was much more exciting and athletic back then…

Kobe was so young in 2000, announcers didn't want to hand him a greatness label. Even though that's exactly what was happening. Kobe was beyond his years his whole life.

“Kobe can’t pass” lol Kobe the GOAT 🐐

No one does this at 21 years old in the finals 🏀 🤴🏽🗣🗣🗣Kobe Kobe Kobe MVP MVP

His J was like water out a faucet!!! Its nothing but lace👑🏀

BTW, just in case nobody ever tells you, you do great work big bro and I really appreciate what you do ✌🏾

The refs kept letting Rose undercut him time n time again 🤦🏻‍♂️ I don’t get it

Glad you’re back, this video literally gave me chills

I missed you Kobe .

I noticed that if any of the Lakers besides Kobe scored, the Lakers bench would go crazy. Kobe does an amazing move and makes the shot....they just sit there and stare with no movement. Old vets hating on the young man. Only time the bench was going crazy, was when Shaq fouled out and Kobe took over. Also, I saw Kobe drawing 3 to 4 defenders and dumping it off to Shaq for an uncontested dunk. How the heck is that Shaq carrying Kobe?

Thanks for the upload man. Reminds me of when I first fell in love with basketball.

Such a great team, and they only got progressively better, first beating the Pacers 4-2, then beating the 76ers 4-1, than New Jersey 4-0. Absolutely legendary team. RIP Black Mamba Forever

Kobe was and will always be the great and Magic, Lakers for life

3:04 was intentional. Jalen Rose admitted it. 4:25 was the refs now watching Jalen Rose's closeouts on shooters. 11:45 was Jalen Rose *still* trying to hurt Kobe on jumpers.

Real Good Kid!!!!

Kobe is AMAZING! He's the best, It's hard on everyone who loved to see him play, here today and gone tomorrow. Lord the heart break on all of us especially his family, his parents and his sisters. We will always miss him, Always and Forever Kobe! Always!

You can’t watch this and not look at Kobe jumping into Shaq’s arms 😭💛

First upload in years. I’m so happy! Thank you for this. Long live the mamba 💜💛🐍🐐

Shaq and Kobe best duo.

Kobe playing basketball is thing of beauty

Kobe was Jordan Zero, and i loved every minute i got to watch him play. Goes to show that it wasn't just Shaq, but the dynamic duo of Shaq and Kobe. Wish they could have stayed together 3-4 more years..

Thank you for this!!!

His numbers weren't great in this series because he was dealing with a major ankle injury from game 2 onwards. That's what made his performance in game 4 that much more special. Had he not been injured he'd have the same numbers he had in 01 or 02 finals.

U DON'T MISS IT...TILL ITS GONE. I MISS YA KOBE.... BETTER DAYS HOOPS.

No one on that pacers team who can guard Kobe

Kobe Bryant you're the greatest no doubt 👍

“He has that little medium range jump shot. We talk about it being a lost art in the nba. It’s either a three or all the way to basket.” Wouldn’t have guessed that was a quote from the year 2000.

Young kobe ♥️😔🙏🏼

Welcome back brother

Kobe Bryant Is The Most Clutch Player Ever..... Shaq Fouled out And He Took Over

Kobe Bryant got itself back in too the game 🎯

Super Tuff🐐

Man Kobe was crucial in that finals. Probably would've lost it without him.

KOBE IS A ONE BAD MAN UNSTOPPABLE 💜💛💜💛💜🏆🏀🐍🐍🐍

I love these bro. Keep it coming. Thank you

I know this is all about the GOAT but poor Mark Jackson

I just wanted to mention, Kobe's stats are a bit underwhelming because he got injured for one game.

Kobe I miss you so much. 😢

"They've already begun his therapy. They have used two or three different kinds of ice" wtf😂😂

3:07 why in the heck would you not IMMEDIATELY call a timeout when your star player is writhing in pain on the court.

Kobes crossover so cold

He was like 21 during this,right? Ice cold
