2009 Western Conference Semifinals Game 2, May 6, 2009 | Very entertaining and physical game between the Lakers and Rockets with the stakes very high. Kobe was on a mission to keep the Lakers from facing a disastrous 0-2 series deficit against the 5th seeded underdog. He came out gunning, dropping 15 points in the first quarter. In a game that featured Luis Scola being wiped out by Derek Fisher and Ron Artest being ejected after getting in Kobe's face over an apparent elbow to the neck, KB wouldn't be sidetracked from the task at hand. He totaled an ultra-efficient 40 points on 27 shots, doing most of his damage against the likes of Shane Battier. The rest of the Lakers would follow Kobe's lead to a 111-98 win to even up the series going in to Houston.

It's a crime Kobe only has one MVP...Absolutely fucking ridiculous.

@nomooon 10 лет назад

cuz he cannot deliver like this in some critical games, for example that final where he lost to celtics, he basically shot the lakers out of the game

@MIchelKriz 10 лет назад

nomooon what kind of reason is that? first of all, the MVP have NOTHING to do with the finals/playoffs. That would be the finals MVP and kobe didnt get it in 08 did he? And secondly, there are many players with multiple MVPs who had bad Finals/playoff performances or didnt even make it to the finals at all. U just made a pointless comment

@nomooon 10 лет назад

MIchelKriz why does Kobe deserve more MVP awards? from whom should he take those awards? what years?

@nomooon 10 лет назад

MIchelKriz and Shaq, the MOST PHYSICALLY DOMINATING center to ever grace NBA, has only ONE MVP...

@MIchelKriz 10 лет назад

nomooon How about Kobes 02-03 season? 30-7-6 and 2 steals? How about his 05-06 season? 35-5-5 not good enough because the team wasnt good enough. How about the 06-07 season with 31-6-5? the problem with MVPs is that its a team-award afterall, since only a player on a top3 team will win the award. So its not really individual output but about how many W a team has in combination with a top player. And yes, it is quite shocking also that shaq only has one. MVPs are pretty flawed in terms of legacy.

Kobe was starving in 2009. He was gonna get his one way or another. If the cavs had made the finals instead of magic, well....let's just say it's reaaaaally fortunate for LBJ's legacy that they didn't. Edit: Actually, during those 09 playoffs, I got the feeling that Celtics and Cavs both underperformed on purpose trying to DUCK Kobe and the Lakers. Everyone clearly saw the devil in Kobe's eyes that year, and neither Celts nor Cavs wanted anything to do with the Mamba. 1 of those 2 teams should have made the finals, not the Magic.....they let Dwight deal with the maniac that was Kobe Bryant.

The reason why us Kobe fans love him so much and think he is the greatest: Look at the way he chooses his shots. He makes it seem as if every shot he takes, no matter what the defense gives him, is a shot he is looking for. Fade-away, long 2s, 3s, drive up the lane lay it in, Kobe had the COMPLETE package. When a guy plays like that how can you not believe that he is the greatest ?

Seeing those two together is special. Kobe and Craig, thank you for the memories! I didn't know you personally, but it truly hurt like family when you guys departed from this life. Once again, thank you for the memories.

@chrisvaladez925 7 месяцев назад

If you watch closely how he played, he was in-sync with his shot. He was such an artist dancing while he was giving us a pure unfiltered performance created by him. That natural fierce competitiveness he held. It was his dna that was meant to kill everyone on court. He was always about business.

He should have 3MVP’s 2002-2003 this Man Average 30PPG 7rebs, and 6AST on 45% fg, 38% 3pt fg, 84% ft, and 2.2 STL a game! First team all-NBA and Second team defense all-NBA... oh and played all 82 games! Only 24! If that ain’t the definition of robbed idk what is! Oh and Shaq only played 66 games, they have to give him that MVP! Plus in 2006-2007 47wins is good enough for an MVP, that’s 3 shy of a 50 win season with scrubs! Averaging 31.6 ppg, 5.4ast, 5.7 rebs, on 46% fg, 86% ft, All-NBA first team, first team defense All-NBA, and scoring 81 points! David Stern and the NBA never really like this man for some odd reason.

@joshuat6124 5 лет назад

In Asia, Kobe is loved dearly. He'd still be getting MVP's today if the league was in Asia lol.

@jaxondakota7080 4 года назад

Your actually missing other seasons more notable for example 08-09 & 09-10. I believe he should’ve won MVP both of those years as he kept raising the bar for the NBA standard and he accomplished so much within those 2 years including winning the championship and finals MVP

@davidmcdonald9412 4 года назад

Thank.you.

@rareoldieskid9134 3 года назад

Yeah the MVP could've went to either Kobe or ShaQ but shaQ was like the movie star of the team at the time so they decided to give the MVP to Shaq... based on his stardom.. I believe Shaq had stared in a movie around the time... i remember!!

Kobe was so focused that if he would of high fived you at the end of a poster dunk , 5 years later and from that dunk after you run into him and ask him if he remembered you and he would say confidently and smirkishly say "of course I do" because he literally remembers. #lazerlikefocus#bruceleementality
