Kobe Bryant LEGENDARY Performance VS James Harden At Drew League! 

This man just won 5 NBA championships and didn't have to prove anything to anyone. Just love the game of basketball.

All those people that braced Kobe after the buzzer beater will have a memory of a lifetime ! Rip Champ

That’s why we love Kobe, he always came through when u wanted him to the most. Man I miss that guy

I paused multiple times to see his footworks. That's what Kobe would want people to do and remember. His craft would never be lost and his legends would never die. NEVER!

after hitting that shot and kids ran on the court. Just pure greatness....Rest Well Mamba.....it still hurts damn it man

Teared up when he raised both arms in the end. It was like he was inviting everyone into his championship space. Man...

I couldn’t help but to cry at the very end of the game seeing how many people loved him!

There will be no one like Kobe, miss him everyday...

Seeing Kobe that comfortable with the crowd at the end speaks volumes.

Harden blocks Kobe's fadeaway and makes a three in Kobe's face Kobe: That's when I took it personally

Interesting how DeRozan didn’t shoot a single midrange jumper the whole game, but nowadays he’s keepin’ the midrange alive in memory of Mamba! 🐍

I love how Kobe was just practicing his post moves/footwork the whole game but was still amazing for all of us to watch. Love you Kobe!!!

The game winning shot and him standing there everybody runs to him.. shit hit different. 🥺

Bro this hits different 😢

He let the fans run up to him and genuinely loved the interaction with everyone. THAT is the reason why, on top of his play, that MANY people in the world consider him the greatest. On AND off the court!! RIP Bean!

Guy was one of a kind. We won't see anyone leave behind a legacy like Kobe, not in our lifetime at least. Dude was gifted

Damn this brought tears to my eyes. I'm a grown man and I would've stormed the court too. Favorite player of all time. Rest easy Bean!!

The whole city was talking about Kobe that day! I remember like yesterday "Kobe hit the game winner at the Drew League!" R.I.P Mamba

As i read these comments, when i watched him throw his hands up, I remember all the times as a kid watching him live on tv. I used to always be in awe, he left us speechless, thrilled, flamboyant. The difference between him and MJ is his love for the game. Its something that exuded out of him, he made US love it. His aura was different, Like Jordans except he gave it back to the people. This is why to me he's the goat, besides the work ethic, the inspiration he gave, the time he took. It was the way he recognized it and gave it back to us. Love you Kobe, always have always will. Just like everyone else here commenting, your presence is now a crater in our lives. But your spirit shall never die. My son will watch u, my grandkids will hear about you. Your name will live forever. Black Mamba!

When he walks into the gym and even the ball wants to shake Kobe’s hand 😂 Legendary 🐏🙌🏽💯

“The best player in the world Kobe Bryant” 20 seconds on the clock, Kobe gets the ball, the whole crowd starts chanting. Just like in Kobe’s Dear Basketball video, I can’t think of how much more of a legend he could be

The fact that everyone who guarded Kobe knew the post fade was coming but still couldn’t stop it 🐐

You can tell Demar was having a lot of fun, pure smile

The end of this video is absolutely beautiful. It epitomizes what Kobe Bryant meant to communities across the country.

The fact that they had this game in a rec gym makes this even more special for the kids

Demar couldn't stop him at all but I love how he just kept guarding Kobe most of the time. Getting to play against his idol like that must have been really awesome to him.

I come to watch this highlight once a year. Chills everytime he hits the game winner. Life ain’t fair, they robbed me of my idol …

Just a pure legend. He’s hitting game winners in every circuit, court and levels. Amazing.

Harden and Kobe were having so much fun. Love it.

I'm still shocked by how much it hurts that dude is gone. His passing hit me like a ton of bricks for some reason like I knew the dude. RIP to Kobe.

This is legendary. James Harden has this story to tell. Great matchup.

This video is a perfect depiction of Kobe Bryant and why everybody loved him.

The way the crowd chants his name and all that pressure to make the shot and he did. Legendary man

What I loved about Kobe was how he altered his game so much as he got older. He couldn't use his athleticism as much, so he became a shooter. And the thing is, he was just as effective and was still one of the best players in the world after making that transition.

Heroes come and go, but Legends are forever! Continue RIP Mamba!!

Man, the ending gets me. The first person to hug Kobe, was a little kid. He must be watching every damn day. Miss you Kobe.

I watched this clip in its entirety twice and the thing that stood out to me the most was how much Kobe was holding back and still dominated. His foot work, was extraordinary.

Started crying once the crowd ran out & all he showed was love! Simply an amazing human

People That Touched Him After The Game Winner Will Never Forget That Day ❤

This is one thing that MJ never had that Kobe does have. MJ never came amongst his people and played for them and have them chant his name as their champion………..But Bean did it TWICE. In my eyes that’s comparable to a championship, which would put Kobe at 7 to Mj’s 6. RIP Mamba ✊🏾

Please never take this video down this is one of the best videos i ever seen with kobe in it well done sir or miss

The people's champ...Kobe..Kobe..Kobe..as a tear rolls down my cheek but I'm smiling at the same time...long live the black mamba#8 #24..

Damn I miss Kobe so much he was so great for the game his presence was felt every time and best father your could ask for we lost a great human

Hell of a game. What a memory for everyone in attendance & the players that got to participate in the game.

Seeing Kobe raise his hands at the end made me cry………😥😥😥😥😥😥 Him and his beautiful girl are really gone………😥😥😥😥😥😥

Kobe tried the same shot after getting blocked and made it. Thats just shows you what type of player he was: fearless.

The crowd knew, the opposition knew... but it still couldn't be stopped. Legend!!

STILL come back to this video often

A basketball legend who actually became a “legend”.

I just hope covid19 happened early. So kobe would just stay home.

I'm so glad this popped up on my recommended. I remember this so well, it got a ton of hype in LA at the time, and has kinda been forgotten as one of the special moments within his legacy. Thank you so much for posting it!

Damn.. i love watching Kobe. The competitiveness, the fire in his eyes, the winner mentality.

His fade-away 2 pointer is 100% accurate every time 🤣 RIP KOBE

Man the feels... When he smiles at the end embracing all the people 😥.. RIP Champ

Kobe always came to play no matter if he was making 400k a game or putting on a show for the fans, whether it was streetball at the EBC or Exhibition at the Drew League. RIP Mamba.

What a great moment for those there in attendance. RIP Mamba 🥺

What was rare about Kobe, as a professional athlete, is that man knew how much his fans loved him, he felt it, he loved them too,he just didn’t play for himself, he played for them too, there’s was a special connection there

16:30 bet Kobe felt like he was back in his high school days for just a moment. Beautiful.

Rarely did we see Kobe playing with a smile all over the court. He really enjoyed the game. RIP the Black Mamba.

Thank you RU-vid so I still can see Kobe everyday!

His control is so underrated. Never forced, footwork is impeccable. The could have ran the same post by the right wing every play and scored. His dribbles are simple and down hill. Just amazing to watch.

Those people will past this moment on forever😥 and I still can't believe that I'm typing R.I.P KB

Thank you for posting this vid. I never seen this footage before. I miss watching him play. Love how the crowd chanted. Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!

What a Legend...RIP, Black Mamba.

Legend!! Just legendary. Took on DeRozan and Harden.. And ends it with his arms raised. Rest Easy Kobe

What he did to us: *"The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do."*

The mamba. Dude brought happiness through the game everywhere he went. Must have been amazing witnessing Kobe sink a buzzer beater especially for the kids that couldn't get to NBA games 🥹🥹🥹🤭

i just watched lebron miss the last free throw and came to this vid ...lol lakers 4 life tho man kobe shakes demar on the first play ....the slight hesi there ...( sheds tear ) watching kobe play is like listening to classical music like bach or beethoven mozart Legends Live 4 ever

He made it seem so easy. All the young-ins putting in that effort and Kobe was just cruising and still you could see how masterful his game was. RIP GOAT.

The finish! OMG! Possibly one of the greatest moments ever captured on film! You knew Kobe was gonna make that shot as soon as the camera cut to the scoreboard.... see you up in the Clouds, Mamba, can’t wait to get schooled by you on the court up there ✌🏻

This is awesome to watch. Seeing Kobe playing for the love of the game. All those people getting to witness Kobe playing up close. We all miss him... but it's so wonderful to have small moments like this to watch, and remember how amazing he was, and how much he inspired us all. Thank you for posting and sharing this with all of us. I appreciate you & Kobe for the smiles you're giving me as I watch this today. ❤🙏

Forever greatness RIP Black Mamba

One thing that does bring peace for me is to think that Kobe & his young daughter still have one another as they journey on together. I would imagine his daughter has great comfort that her dad is still right there with her even after death. Prayers and love for Kobe, his daughter, & his family!

His footwork, coordination, speed, shooting ability, agility, decision making is on another level. The other nba players had nice games as well but Kobe clearly was on a different stratosphere than the other nba players.

its one thing to cheer 4 someone when he passed away.. people showed him love when he was alive. chanting:kobe kobe kobe.... he knew he was loved by some so many.. and he was able to enjoy it and to recognize it.. king of la

That last shot and smile brought tears to my face💯

Nowitzki fade away aaall night. I love how kobe interacted with everyone

Watching this today on Father's Day gave me goosebumps. How does someone you've never met bring you to tears....wow!!

It's crazy to see how much of Kobe's game relied on posting up. He really plays like a big man even though he is a guard. Foot work and up and under game is insane.

Miss this man and everything he brought to world, he is so much more than the game. Rip Mamba

Dam it seem like Kobe was hitting on the buzzer shots his whole life

I love how Kobe showed the same love to everybody in the court and the same competition.

Thanks for the upload. Salute. Kobe was my dude. Just something special about him. He truly loved the game and everything that came with it. He was for the people. When the fans rushed the court, that was on some Ali shit. Not many of his status would have played in this game. He had 5 rings legend future hall of famer. His competitiveness was always there and i know going against the young harden and derozen he had to let them know he could still ball. But it was even bigger than that. The way he talked and shook hands during the game was incredible. None of the other players did that. Just like when he played at the rucker. He was always accessible unlike some other players no need to mention names lol RIP to the MAMBA the LEGEND and arguably the greatest basketball player to ever step on the court whether the NBA or the hood court down the street. His dedication to the game and determination to WIN was crazy. So many stories about his work ethic and go hard mentality just proves how great he was.

Never thought I'd be alive without Kobe Bryant still here doing his thing sad he's not around anymore what a legendary human being

The day Kobe came to the LA Hood. Legends never died homie.

The world literally started to fall apart after he died...

Came here for Mamba, for daily motivation and to reminisce his greatness. But damn, Demar made me smile a lot. Skill and fun out of the game. Beautiful.

Brilliance on the court! RIP Mamba!!!

i think this is the first time i see Kobe passing and Harden playing defense. Jokes aside, man i miss Kobe

The end was everything the people’s champ Rip KOBE fareal 💯🙏🏾

Kobe is so infectious can't believe he's deceased. Every content of him, is joyful and sad to watch at the same time

Kobe was too good at basketball goat status 🐐 gone but never ever forgotten

I love how he played his teammate with a quick 1on1 during warmups.

THE MAN WHO INSPIRED ME TO PLAY BASKETBALL AND TAUGHT ME NOT TO BE SOFT WHEN LIFE THROWS LEMONS

I cried watching everyone rushing the court RIP MAMBA

Thank you for sharing .. this version is amazing

"Black Mamba" to the Max!!! Closest thing I ever saw to "His Airness" (GOAT). ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

He gave out his shoes at the end of the game 😭 RIP KOBE 😭

Mannnnnllll this was just as memorable as a NBA game …….. Rest in peace Kobe! Thanks for all the NBA memories…….

This was just beautiful basketball.
