Yo KD lowkey looks like he’s in a Texas jersey again in the gameplay

There a two types of fans: - the fans who speak sense and think for themselves - the Mike Korzembas

That game winner in the background was such a Kobe style shot, what a good way to end the video!

I’m a Bron Stan & respect the hell out of Kobe and every legend. Idk why the fanbases try to turn them against each other like most players aren’t best friends.

Kobe plays in this era averages 35 7 & 7. No one could check him and their would be so much more space it’s not fair.

I personally think Kobe is better than Lebron, but what I hate is when you get in any argument about which players are better and everybody decides it's best to tear down the case for the other player rather than build the case for the player they are arguing for.

Kobe is (was) so clutch that he hits GWs even in the background gameplay

How tf do you upload all of these videos like aren't you in college

Shaq "A rainbow of jerseys" Cleveland - Red Phoenix - Orange Lakers - Yellow Celtics - Green Magic - Blue Heat - Pink/Purple

Kobe gets disrespected so much that he seems underrated now.

Kobe is top 3 in NBA history in All-NBA selections, All-defensive selections, All-star appearances, and scoring. He also has 9 all-defensive first team selections, which ties the most all-time. Just so you know how hard that is, Klay and KD have never made an All-defensive team. And that goes to show how underrated Kobe actually is. No one ever speaks about his defense. No one ever mentions that he's led the Lakers in assists for 12 of his 20 seasons. You only hear people putting stats side by side and ripping players without context.

Everyone thinks Ivica Zubac will not make the playoffs and has the most pressure a superstar has ever faced. While I agree the pressure on him is Incredible I believe he will. Last game he put up a Double Double against The TrailBlazers who are predicted to go to the Finals by Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith (Seriously WTF were they smoking when they said that). He more doubles-doubles for the Clippers this season then Wilt Chamberlin, Shaq, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and MJ combined. Even Steph Curry could not match that output last game. He will carry the Clippers to the playoff's and is the whole reason why the Clippers are going to attract marquee FA this summer. Truly a game-changing talent and will change the way Ball is played forever.

Kobe dominated in the statistically hardest era to score in (the 2000s where teams averaged under 100ppg) because of the elimination of the “illegal defense” rule that helped Jordan and the stars of his era score at such a high rate. The Kobe that averaged 35 ppg for a year in the 2000s would average 38-40 in 2019. Prime Lebron would be getting efficient 30ppg triple doubles. Prime Wade could average 32-35ppg for a season. And if KD was still a one man show he could put up a 35-37ppg season. I feel like players who had their prime between 2001(when the rule changed)-2012 are so under appreciated.

Yo tell me why I glanced at the 2K14 gameplay and thought it was a real NBA game. The lighting + player models were so good man.

Remember when Kobe retired and everyone said he was top 3 all time? Yeah...

Yea people will make new narratives about KD & people don't realize that😂💯

The Kobe hate is unreal like how much hate and I don’t understand it but I guess people hate greatness So unpopular opinion about the warriors that will probably be a high view video or of a decade

Kobe is my favourite player, and I'm undoubtedly a Kobe fan, but I've always stood by the fact that Magic would have been the best Laker of all time if it wasn't for the fact that he retired at 31 years of age due to HIV.

Only been watching the NBA for 3 years(I'm British) and you're by far my favourite NBA RU-vidr. Keep it up.

I agree with Kobe being closer because Kobe has a similar playing style as Jordan. They are both comparable lebron and Jordan are two very different players and are not comparable.

Unpopular opinions: Larry Bird- sorta like Kobe in that it seems like people are always trying to do him dirty today when they weren't around during his prime

Kobe is one of the most disrespected players ever, this needs to stop

If Kobe had a 20pts per gm scorer besides himself other then shaq, he then goes to 10 straight finals and wins most of them. Between 05-013

All imo Most underrated/forgotten legend: Moses Malone Most underrated playoff performer legend: Jerry West Most under appreciated legend: Tie Tim Duncan and Russell Most slandered: Kobe Most disrespected by those who didn’t see him play: Isiah Thomas Most underrated defender: Nate Thurmond Most underrated all around legend: Rick Barry Most disrespected today: Larry Bird Most underrated scorer: Alex English Most overshadowed: Clyde Drexler What y’all think?

Kobe has so many moves Pull up 2, post up, baseline moves, pull up 3s, post fades, nasty dunks , one two dribble pull up, using both hands around the rim, footwork, Kobe the greatest shot maker the game ever seen.

5 years later this shows how much everybody hated on kobe until he died. rip

I love how people get fired up with these takes. Saying Kobe is closer to Jordan IN NO WAY means that LBJ is a bad player; or that Kobe would beat him one on one

The Day that people stop slandering KD is the day that i will be charged with assault on a lot of people

Ppl be sayin KD better than Kobe now smh

Scariest player to play against in NBA history in a Kobe Bryant on a mission.

honestly I think kobe is ranked over lebron I think he is better than lebron as well why ? because he is skillfully maybe not statistically but I judge off skill just like KD says kobe & jordan the best ever.

I knew right off the bat you was gonna hit him with that vintage kobe fade for the winner haha

6>5>3...... simple.

*The last shot at the end on this video says it all.* 🏆K🏆O🏆B🏆E🏆

Man I know this is gonna sound short sighted as hell, but I just don't see people forgetting what KD did. Lebron's move pissed people off because of the arrogant way he did it, and because he squashed the competition in his conference. The team he left was a trash pile though, so the move made sense. And it's not like he broke the league, he just won your average amount of rings for a contender. Like the Kobe and Shaq Lakers, except the players took it upon themselves to make the team happen. He started a trend that everyone is doing, so in retrospect his move looks like the norm. He just handled it like a dick. KD on the other hand, I mean, we all know. Joining the team who beat you in that fashion, after the playoff run his team had, and after they had the victory then blew it, that's bad enough. But when it cripples competition in the whole league for damn near half a decade in the process? That's exaggerating a bit, but even if he only wins 2 like Lebron's Heat did, it's just the betraying way he did it. I don't foresee that becoming the new trend that makes this look tame in retrospect. Add to that him fighting with kids in their dm and using burners to justify his ego, and it's gonna take one hell of a redemption arc from KD to wash this one away. It's not impossible, future me could be laughing at this right now, but idk man. Lebron was a dick. But KD is just weak.

Only ogs remember the 3 kings of new york😂😂😂 i miss this

KD looking like slenderman 😂😂

Title is facts kobe > Lebron

Harden is a poor mans Kobe

I'm sorry but CP3 veto was the end of Kobe career CP3 Kobe and Bynum beat Dwade Lebron and Bosh in 2012 Lebron is still ringless into 2013 Thunder never was suppose to be in that finals they suspended Ron Artest and that destroyed the Lakers into the playoffs they played 7 games against the CP3 Hornets which should have been 4 to 5 games they were tired heading into Game 1 vs Thunder No Ron Artest the league played Kobe to usher in Lebron and keep intact Jordan Legacy easy 6 ring to 7 and this is way before 2015 GSW

DOM WITH THE FIRE CLUTCH KOBE SHOT IN THE END OF THE VIDEO

There are so many great NBA players, who can say anyone the GOAT. Everyone has their edge and we see so much talent, why put others down to raise one person up?

People talk about LeBron being close to MJ in the rankings. I don't even have LeBron over Kobe. And how much would Jordan average today?

I love to see it. The media hates Kobe and twitter for some reason follows. No one ever tried to minimize players and what they’ve accomplished until lebron came along, then it became a race to make everyone look bad to support lebron. I’m glad to hear a Celtics fan defending Kobe dudes are relentless out here wanting to take him out the top 10 thinking he was just some Vince carter or something and got lucky by having shaq

That tmac opinion was true. It was a debate back then. Kobe was a better defender but not by alot. Tmsc was better on offense but not by alot. It's your preference basically, but I to would have taken mac

I gave up arguing with Kobe haters and Lebron haters or any kind of bias hater they are delusional if you think Kobe isn’t top 10 awesome great but people really put guys like KG and pierce over him like bro what????? By that point they are exposing themselves tbh I never really watched prime Kobe play but from the highlights I can tell he was a monster

Unpopular opinion: If Boston didn't build the big three and win a championship , Paul Pierce would have been remembered as an inefficient iso player. Basicly a worse Anthony.

His voice os so different 1 year later 🤯🤯🤯

Yo dom I got a idea, you should do a video of which cavs team with Lebron was the worst team to make the finals. 2007 or 2018. I feel like that would be a great idea

Kobe is easily the most disrespected all-time great

I still think Stockton is the most underrated player of all time.

Dom casually hits game winner at the end

Keep it a buck, when u were in school nd you shot something in the trash can you yelled out KOBE! Not one person yelled BRON! Jus sayin. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Fucking love this video, huge fan of Kobe (plus that game winner at the end of the video was smooth)

That top 15-20 thing had me in tears! Lmao Moses Malone and KG

That buzzer beater at the end 👀👀

Lebron james in the heat was a shitty move but he justified him self by getting Cleveland a championship KD didn't some thing like that.

Some people actually think Pau Gasol carried Kobe. WTF

Kobe was the toughest player to guard ever. Stop all this disrespect.

*Popular opinion: Brian Scalabrine is the GOAT*

Idk man, just because the NBA was allowed to veto the Lakers trade, doesn't mean they should have. They doesn't justify that at all.

Thank you for making this video Dom people disrespect my fav player every day and it just pisses me off cause they don’t have the facts or they didn’t witness it these new age nba fans are annoying

Damn Three Kings of New York gameplay oof throwback

To some extent I can see why Kobe may not transfer to this era as well as we are being lead to believe. Mainly because of the 2000s being so heavy on iso while now we are in an era with lots of transition scoring and continuous off ball movement. I get that they probably would adapt there games a little but I just can’t see the impact being quite as much as I am being lead to believe.

Do unpopular opinions on kd. I saw you respond to it and I read through those responses and there was def some video worthy takes

Actual Kobe unpopular opinion: while he was a good defender, people exaggerate how good he was because he made 12 all NBA defensive teams

That comeback and buzzer game winner tho 🔥

That 3 Kings of New York gameplay tho

The topic was interesting and i enjoyed ur commentary a lot but Damnn that gameplay was amazing

No one talks about me and jordan:/

14:03 best way to close a Kobe vid

14:00 That game winner though

3 kings of NY..... i remember watching that series on your old channel.. keep up the good work dude

Dom wanted to get your thoughts on JxmyHighroller’s most recent video about the defense of each era?

Go thru the comments note respect for the Kobe last minute buzzer beater 😂 lol good shot

I died when u said the person who said James Worthy was better than Kobe to join the damn circus if u want to be a clown. 😂😂😂

Damn bruh one player is still playing and the other retired.

It really just seems like no one cares what you achieve unless you win 6 titles in a row and get MVP each time.

Unpopular opinion-Being the overall better player doesn’t actually make you the BETTER player.

I don't know about Kobe and the era, but for MJ Jxmy Highroller just made a great video on this. On why scoring in the 80s or 90s was easier than it was afterwards. Kobe only benefited slightly but he didn't even really cuz he got better after 2004 individually but MJ definitely benefited from his era. Would recommend to watch the video. It's really interesting

Dom have you seen rusty buckets goatmentary series? It's worth the watch if you haven't

3 Kings of New York gameplay🔥

Dom, JxmyHighroller made a video about the defense from the 90s and 80s and it would be interesting to get your take on it.

Love the 3KONY gameplay, took me way back

I died when Don said “What theee Fuck” them clowns be saying some dumb shit😂😂😂

At 5:00 peep how he said “Greenlight” and actually got a Green release but still missed🥶

Love the 3Kings footage you’ve been using

“I chimed in” WITH HAVENT YOU PPL EVER HEARD OF CLOSIN THE GODDAMN DOOR, NO

No way Kobe ahead of Lebron, not far behind though.

Dom-If you wanna see me do this for more pkayers let me know. Me-the ball dont lie. Rasheed wallace. Antoine walker. Thunder dan. Dan marlje. Salim stoudamire. College vs pros. Mighty mouse, damon staoudamire. The kobe killer, forgot his name who played for portland in the early 2000s. Nate archibald. David latin. Earl monroe. World be free. Rick berry, jon berry, and brent berry. Whos better, robin or brook lopez.

Unpopular NBA opinion: KD’s move wasn’t weak at all. He’s a grown ass man who quit a job to leave for a new, better job. Niggas do that shit all the time. Athletes are human and have the same rights as us mere mortals.

Every legend says Kobe is better than LeBron

Big facts. Kobe gets no respect from the steph curry generation of fans. Kobe got me into basketball way back in 1999, and I rode it out with him till the end. #MambaMentality

Does anyone else think Dom has the most relaxing voice on RU-vid?

I Agree Kobe is top 15, shaq was the best player on that 3peat, gave up a 3-1 lead to Phoenix in 05, Admitted he cost them in 04, Lost to Boston in 08 after a 24 point comeback in game 4, Swept by Dirk in 2011, and After he drove Shaq And Phil away he didn't make the playoffs, And was saved by artest in game 7 where he shot 6-24

For the last several yrs, the sports media tried so hard to push the narrative that LBJ was the greatest ever. In fact, he is closer to Kobe than to Jordan and history will tell

Keep it coming

Never heard you curse before dawg lmao

Unpopular Opinion-Dom makes the best NBA vids on RU-vid (and the gameplay is ice)
