Used to watch this video in my teen years. Was my favorite highlight clip reel, and still is to this day. Sad that today's events, with Kobe passing, are what had to drive me to come find this video again. RIP Black Mamba -- a legend! Kobe Bean Bryant.
julius dogta pierce is a 10 time all star 2007-2008 scoring champ 4 time all nba and has a finals mvp and is more efficient then Kobe and he isn’t that good? Stupid casual.
He will be surely be like mike.. a LEGEND... I do admire Michael but Kobe i do agree he was the revolutionized and perfected version of Michael... He alleviated the game!!! Salute Kobe!
The next 2-3 years are gonna be incredible. I don't know when he's retiring, but it'll be a sad day when he does. He's been my favorite player for years and it's been so fun being able to watch the greatest player in L.A. Lakers history do his thing. Hopefully he can add a couple more rings to his collection too.
Will forever be my favorite Kobe mix. I would always watche this before going to go play ball with the homies and now that he's gone it hits different... Miss you mamba 💛💜
One of my favorite videos of all time 💯. When I heard the news earlier today I almost cried I think I still might 😥😔. I knew I had to come back to this video. Kobe Rest In Peace to you, your daughter Gianna, and the others involved in that tragic incident 🙏🏽🙏🏽. I can’t go along without showing my respects to one of the greatest to ever touch a basketball. Nothing but condolences and prayers to you and your family 🙏🏽❤️. You will be missed by the entire world Kobe 🌎. We all love you man 😓... Mamba Out 💚🐍💜💛 8️⃣ ➡️ 2️⃣4️⃣ ➡️ FOREVER 💯💯
phillyslasher Nobody looks on who you have on your team. Magic, Larry, and Michael won still won their MVP's while playing with their hall of fame teamates. Why? Because they probably led their team to the best record during that time. Look at LeBron. He had a bunch of no names on Cleveland, but how did he win MVP? Because he had over 60 wins. I just looked at the 2006 season standings. Lakers were 45-37(not bad), but a 7th seed. Now would you want someone who just sneaked into the playoffs win MVP? Kobe is my favorite so no disrespect there. Nobody looks at who's on your team. If you can lead them to victories, while contributing a lot, then you're probably going to win MVP. Kobe was probably top 3 in voting that year. So it's not that bad.
so it's LeBron's fault that he plays in the East? Winning 50 games is not a cop out. Do you actually think it's easy winning games? How about this in 2007 LeBron brought his team to the Finals and demolished the Pistons? You may have a point of Kobe's team fighting in the East, but it is what it is. From your argument, it's like your telling me nobody in the East should win MVP because it's easy and all the awards should go to the West. And tell me. Jordan averaged 37PPG in 1987, but didn't win MVP. You know why? Because he had a 40-42 losing record. You know who won? Magic Johnson. You wanna know why? Because he had the stats and winning record. It's not all about stats. If that were the case Kevin Love should be the MVP. And if LeBron's Cavaliers weren't that bad, how come stats say LeBron has outplayed Kobe every time they've played?
Can't believe this is all from his 09 season. The guy can do it all at half court and is considered the greatest Laker ever by Laker greats. I've even never lived in a world without the Mamba Bean being a Laker, it's gonna be sad to see him go.
Kobe has actually led the Lakers in assists every season since 1999-2000, apart from 3 years when he was only slightly behind in 2nd. He even led in apg this year over Steve Nash. Myth = Busted :D
Agreed. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Lebron is a great player don't get me wrong. But I really believe that Kobe's footwork could rival even Jordan's. I know I will get a lot of hate for that but Kobe did put in the work!!!
R.I.P to the GOAT! I remember watching this video all the time back in the day. Kobe is definitely the reason why I love basketball so damn much. He gave me the love for the game.
***** lol that proves how unskilled lebron is "he can barrel through" kobe and players like mj had amazing control when attacking the basket and could finish
Your joke, LeBron James sucks, I guess that's why you like cuz you suck, he's a loser of six championships, he screwed over Cleveland, join a better basketball player just to win a championship in Dwyane Wade, then went back to Cleveland and finally won one, and then screw them again and went to LA, and screwed la, anybody that likes to LeBron James is a loser like him
Hash Moncrief damn bro you’re heated! Everything okay over there? Btw that “Best Laker Ever!” was pointed towards Kobe. Idk why you so angry and have such negativity smh
Reading some of these comments make me realize that a lot of y'all don't know what the hell you're talking about. so you want to blame Kobe for the Lakers current situation for taking a contract that was offered to him to show appreciation for what he'd done for the franchise. even with Kobe is signing that contract the Lakers still had room to sign another max player or two. why do you think they went after Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James last summer? When Dr Jerry Buss died(R.I.P) and Jim Buss took over that's when the Lakers started deteriorating. the help Kobe Bryant asks for, they didn't give it to him. Starting with the coach. Kobe and some of the other players wanted Brian Shaw so they could continue to run the triangle offense. Jim Buss went with Mike Brown. then when it appeared Phil Jackson was about to return. Jim Buss went with garbage ass Mike Dantoni...... Oh yeah, and really let's not forget how David Stern and the NBA vetoed the trade for Chris Paul to come to the Lakers. how the hell are you going to take away a trade that was made a week earlier. that just goes to show you the politics of the NBA. most of y'all are not even Laker fans or the only Kobe Bryant you know about is from the last couple of years is because you're young as hell and you don't know shit
Always got to bring Michael Jordan up around Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan had to crawl back to the Bulls after baseball, cuz he knew he couldn't win out Pippen, and it showed when he went to the Wizards, this is about Kobe Bryant not the loser LeBron James, I wish people just talked about Kobe and quit talking about other losers, Kobe showed he was greater than any player
Not to stir up any hate but Wilt is in my view, the best to ever play the game. Bill Russell 2nd with Kareem 3rd. To this day, I have NEVER heard why Jordan was better than Kareem. Someone PLEASE tell me why. (No profanity or name calling please).
I love u.. I leave in Greece I play basketball and my dream is to become like u...Just go to America and play basketball..You know i'm thinking of this and i start cry..You are one of my inspirations..I wish God Help me..
