Check out Kobe Bryant's Top 10 Plays from the 2011-12 NBA Season. In his 16th season in the NBA, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers is still one of the most dominant players in the league!
remember kobe has the most 1st team all nba DEFENSIVE selections of all time. Along with the most 1st team all nba selections ever. plus 5 rings. hes the goat. he just put so much work on his body that its giving out now. He has no cartilage in both his knees and surgeries on shooting shoulder Achilles tendon, plus injuries to his back has claves. and I remember when he dislocated his finger(s) on his shooting hand and never got surgery for it and still dropped 30 a night or more immediately afterwards shooting with pad on his index finger. Kobe has got to be the goat. Ive only been watch since 2000 or so but ive never seen anyone better. So I cant comment on mj really. Seeing his highlights he just looks like kobe with slighty more athleticism and bigger hands so I don't mind if people watching bball in the 90's see mj as the goat they would know more than me on that if they watched both kobe and mj. shaq and LeBron have different styles so its hard to compare them to kobe they were/are unbelievable players and duncans consistency is amazing throughout his career and Durant has a lot of time to rack up more success and get involved in the goat discussion (but that will take time if he does). With all that said based on all around greatness Kobe has to be the goat, of the 2000's and after, and ever besides MJ as of now. Kobe had shaq but the rest of their team was garbage and the won 3 rings. Then just gasol and a good Bynum for the last 2. even mj had pippen AND rodman or horace grant to win his 6. I know shaq might be the most dominant post player ever. but the cant surpass 2 of the top defenders of all time (pippen and rodman ALONG with another in mj in one starting line up. So my argument is Kobe for the goat. I didn't even say in 2001 they had the best playoff record ever with one loss in the playoffs in the finals in overtime to the freak AI. they went 15 and 1! in the playoffs! let me know when that happens again. and who was their 3rd best player? fisher? Robert horry? who was mj"s number 3 player! dennis rodman one of the greatest defenders ever argueably the greatest rebounder ever along with wilt and Russell!!!! I mean cmon man Kobe got to get more credit he is the goat imo! mvps are opinion. rings are fact! and the greatness shown. Kobe is the goat imo!!!!!
..Got the Space ..Got the Spin ..Here's Bryant! .....YES!! ..What a Move .. WHAT A MOVE!!! .. man I love the n°3 of that top 10!!! the crowd's reaction and commentators added to Kobe's greatness! ^^ nice!
Mamba4ever means Mamba: kobe 4: Gianna bryant Natalia bryant Bianka bryant Capri bryant Ever: Vanessa Bryant (Look iam not here for likes I just want ro know that kobe and his family is special to us
The fact that this guy is 34 and is in his 16th year, while still being a top 5 player, says alot. I'm not a Laker fan, but I love watching Kobe and will appreciate his greatness until he retires.
Kobe can do it all. And going 34 he looks like a young man playing over 35 minutes a game without complaining and leading the NBA in scoring. We are all unworthy of his greatness. Specially teenagers bandwagon mimi fans who never saw Kobe with 27 yo.
Not taking anything from anybody, but mamba is indeed the most intelligent scorer in the NBA that ive ever known. Truly one of the G.O.A.T's lined up after MJ, Magic and Bird.
After this season i was going to chage my favorite team to OKC but after the trades howard and nash and because of your birthday, LAKER WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE TEAM. Consider this as a gift from me lol! HBD KOBE
you find me another 40yld man who can walk into a game an drop 41pts on his debut night an then come back again an drop another 55pts on back to back Nights he came back an played with the wizards to remind people like you how great he truly was we have all forgot how Great he was just cause he no longer plays
if youre leading your team to 5 championships and closing games, i believe that gives credibility. kobe = 5th all time scoring, actually has a consistent jumper, grade perimeter defender, decent passer, scored 81 PTS, all nba first team several times, etc.
Hate or Love kobe, He has never cheated the game. That's what I like about him. He doesn't get away with travels, cause he (rarely) travels. He doesn't flop, because he doesn't take charges but still effective enough to be a STRONG defensive presence. Thats a real player, old school roots. The only thing I don't like about Kobe is that when his team is of sucky caliber, he jacks up too many shots. If he doesn't believe in the coach or the personell, he just does his own thing. lol.
Kobe is the best passer in the world right now hes also the best shooter and the best overall player you can say mj is better but we all know kobe is the best ever.
i gotta say tho that this was a pretty unspectacular year for kobe - not a knock on him at all but more a testament to the incredibly high standards he's set for himself over the span of his career. here's to hoping that with nash and dwight on the team, kobe will get some easier shots and raise his shooting percentage up. lakers 2013 - make it happen!!
To be honest I am a huge huge huge fan of both King James and Flash... But Kobe Bryant's spin one way and then spin the other way fade away jump shot is poetry in which... For real that is like Freaken artistry man...
Ah..... You know how great Kobe is when the only guy to top him in any conversation is to bring his airness Jordan. Let's leave us as that KOBE is one of the few and I mean few legendary players. Top 5 in the history.
