The Game That Kobe Bryant Faced PRIME Dwyane Wade! EPIC Duel Highlights 2008.12.19 - MUST SEE 

Honestly they are both over rated, they are 3/5 and 5/7 for finals, when robert horry is 16/1 for finals wins

@@Adam-tj8gi didnt know team jumping would make you a legend

You mean 3 out of 5 and 5 out of 7.. while lebron is 3 out of 9.. so yeah

couse if win lose stats itll br 3/2 5/2 while lebron will be 3/6

Adam Robert Horry only went to 7 championships and he won all 7 don’t say anything if you don’t know your basketball

Great* is the word you was looking for

What are you talking about he lead his team and won championship. I don't get it

Lenell Williams no everyone knew after that year

If we're being honest, he didn't get as much recognition because of the era he's playing in. People saw Kobe, McGrady, Carter and LeBron on TV, and the only time they saw Wade was in the playoffs.

What? D-wade fans make comments like 3rd best SG over guys like jerry west and Drexler all the time. Also D-wade losing points because in 2006 everyone knows they only won because of the refs, no one is impressed by a dude shooting 25 ft every game.

R.I.P Kobe Bryant basketball will never be the same

JinH Wang Yes sir

No lie

Facts

Those were the days - Mary Hopkins if I remember correctly-

If it wasn’t for LBJ he’d only have one ring. 😂

@@NBA_Z0 Lebron went there to learn how to win..not the other way around sir

Universe 11's Jiren Its cos his career was plagued by injury. This dude had arguably only two 'healthy' years in his prime and the rest he was clearly affected by his shoulder and knee issues. Yet he's still clearly the 3rd greatest SG of all time and if LBJ had shown up in 2011, Wade would've won a second finals MVP and would be much closer to Kobe all time and probably a top 15 player all time.

@@PM-qb6hj facts

Universe 11’s Jiren Dwyane Wade was so good that LeBron and Bosh had to leave their teams in their prime to join him.. If it wasn't for wade LeBron would still be ringless bud.

Melos prime as of current is in Highschool bruh

One of these is not like the other

@@Abbad1579 I know he meant Carmelo I was making a joke

@@hunterjoneez5965 just because Melo was on the Knicks during his prime doesn't change the fact the guy was a monster at that time.

Don’t forget Dwight and cp3 🤝

Still can't believe it myself. R.I.P. Kobe Bryant. #Mambalivesforever

I just realized it’s been a month🥺😢

Lol

He gone? What happened bro?

@@charlessaavedra6725 man, you're just so funny. He gone? Hahaha. Didnt even need to put an "is" in the middle of that question! It's cool to just make blabber and let someone else figure it out. That's just great. Hahah

Of course there will be.

Donovan Mitchell......

@@1ce2berg will see, thing is I still don't see defense played like how this game is.

@@roodlyfbuts8006 nah

Roodly F Buts 😅😆😆😆😆😅😅😆😆😆😂🤣🤣

True, mvp mode

Just that one year though

Yeah he should’ve won mvp that yr they robbed him

authenic jamie not really lebron was absolitely insane that season, it was one of those seasons where more than one guy had an all time great season so likea season from D-Wade that would have won the MVP in 95% of the years sadly didn't

They went from 15 wins the year before (dead last in the East) to 43 wins, 5th seed in the 2008-2009 season. Amazing.

Same birthday hell yeah rip mamba

Worth every penny

Well earn

Christian Oh ill have to give that to John Wall

@@thetattedpilot2569 not even close

@@sophieenthusiast3161 you havent watched d wade, he has the most blocks for a guard, from point guards to centers he can block him all, and dont ever compare wall to dwade. Look at this vid his taking on kobe, hell wall cant even win against kyrie or lillard.

@@sophieenthusiast3161 and he won a chip as the main guy in his third year, finals mvp. John wall cant do that ever.

He did, and it was even a tougher shot than what he missed here hahaha

Manny P cool

he def the best 2nd best sg

He is still idol for me. Ever since 2004

BenYamin H you shouldn’t tell a stranger how to live their life

@@pittypatboxing3542 kobe>wade

Why you bringing up Harden for ? just enjoy the greatness of D wade and stop hating on Harden he got nothing to do with this video.

@@semionjohnson1351 He tryna say that mvp should be as real as dwade. Not fake like Harden and Westbrook. Today's MVPs are given to players that are not up to par

Nor Priest wade is literally one of my top 5 favorite players ever but how does him being great make harden and Westbrook fake mvps in your mind it’s a regular season award and they both had legendary seasons when they won it

@@sdfishinn aite bro,but we gotta stop discrediting these players though...they all great in their own right...watching games like these makes me wish i never took it for granted when i actually saw them play,because now we can't...Lebron is not a player i root for but he is a player that when he retires they won't be another....we really need to appreciate what we are watching bro.

@@sdfishinn yeah i understand that,i feel the same way about that situation,but what separate their decision to join super team is the fact that kd joined a team he had on the ropes(3-1 lead on gsw)they eventually lost but he had em,and den he joined them...after they showed they could win the chip without him...Golden State was a winning franchis when he joined them,while Lebron well lets just say the miami heat weren't nowhere near the caliber of what golden state was when kd joined...It was their choice too but i always thought Lebron decision started the whole super team building bs but to me kd move was really weak...

Injuries man it sucks.

William Brown injuries or LeBron stunted him more??

So was Mcgrady's. Injuries suck.

@@lionssuperbowl LeBron stunted a superstar 😂😂😂😂👎🏾

Megalodon Fitness yeah , he can’t take plays off with another superstar player in the same position...wade used to go harder when he was Facing james...even though it was fun to watch, wade would go harder when team was his own...

He was never better than Kobe but very close

Lil Dagga can you elaborate

he was better than Kobe...tf you mean chasing ?

backdraft1420 dog food🤣💀💀

They both played with hunger.

backdraft1420 he was better then Kobe

Considering there's only 5 teams that matter now, I don't think we'll be getting treats like this anymore for a long time.

NO MORE GAMES LIKE THIS. COZ ALL THE STAR PLAYERS ARE GOING TO GOLDEN STATES HAHAH.

Agree. PLayers nowadays don't have the hunger to chase off another superstars. They're just being friendly with each other. No more head to head matchups, rivalries, and competition.

@RW47 You sound beyond stupid how you talk

Kobe Bryant can't stop either one

Kendra Nights and either one of them cant stop Kobe. so whats your point?

@@fearlessxo3890 Kobe stops himself with that Berlin brick wall

You can’t guard LeBron that’s why. He does what he wants whether he scores or facilitates.

Lol

If you notice he did a euro in this game without ever do a euro

Jerry Lin Kobe did a euro step this game , in the first half

I say the same about D Rose

Kobe also got hurt a lot only LeHGH don't get hurt

@@diegochavez6203you hating but LeHGH is hilarious

Could you imagine if kobe wasn't injured? He played on a bum knee, hands effed up in the finals. They didn't get lebrons genes

Me bro. I'm a wade fan and I've always been a kobe hater as I always see comments about kobe is so much better but now I just can't debate.

@Shaq Attack ok bro but he is well loved and that is most important to me after he passed away

@Shaq Attack yeah well, i kind of agree with you. I based players level on their efficiency and lbj, mj and shaq has better than that of kobe but i think the difference is close.

he's not underrated, he is top 3 SG in NBA history

Hell no he #3rd best shooting guard all time dummy

Never was underrated he’s just old now and is not nearly as insane as he was in his prime also he is the 3rd best shooting guard in nba history

He is underrated. He never receives much recognition. He was and is barely ever discussed by anyone in the media.

Very

It makes me sick Kobe only won 1 mvp and Wade didn’t win any. BS

@@mitocorleone4845 Kobe only deserved 1

@@jasonmoukala8909 naw Kobe easily could’ve won it both years nash won but he isnt “liked” by the “media” not a secret and I think he could’ve won in 09’ if not him then definitely Wade should’ve won it..

@@SuperWizzle85 stop talking basketball

@@jasonmoukala8909 naw you stop man should easily have 3 MVPs,Shaq should have more than 1,D-Wade should have at least 1 like come on do some research cause you clearly don’t know

Underrated? The dude is literally the 3rd best shooting guard of all time. 🤣

Most fluid, esthetic and graceful as far as im concerned.

He was the goat 🐐 can’t believe I’m useing past tense. We love you kobe we miss you so dam much and😞

Hours and hours of training and dedication.

@@samsimth8504 not even close

L.S awww poor guy u hurt 😂

And Tmac Vs Kobe *

okhita facts

He had defensive player of the year stolen from him so many times. One key reason why he was one of the best shooting guards was because he had the best defense in hos position. He was always better defensively than Kobe. But sometimes the awards are biases given.

he was better than Kobe

Pittypat Boxing no

@@bluetech7128 IMO, Prime D Wade was closer to resembling 1st 3 peat Jordan than Kobe was from an aesthetic & statistical standpoint. Kobe only truly started to resemble 2nd 3 peat MJ, when he changed his number to 24. That's when Kobe started to understand & have the all around game of basketball. But D Wade physique, athleticism, high level efficiency & proficiency when finishing at the rim & from the mid-range & Defense was more Jordan esque. Yes, Kobe tried to mimic Jordan but imo he wasn't as agile, graceful or forceful as D Wade. Other than the 6'6 height Kobe also didn't have quiet the physique as Jordan or D Wade. Kobe overall actually resembles Jordan's predecessor - Elgin Baylor. Kobe just simply had smaller hands, slower first step & lower I.Q.

And does WHAT to the defender? Pause

The Mouuss so lucky that rimmed out

that shit went in but then popped out A Year later he'd get revenge with that 3point buzzer

kobe face at the end of the game was: see u at night, dwyane

He was angry and happy at the same time, lol!

Yes Jordan,Kobe ,wade, then Allen Iverson, ,Ray Allen Clyde Drexler and now James Harden.

This was 2 years ago but imma still respond. My favorite player ever. He had it all, scoring ability, clutch factor, and insane defense. He had averaged 30 ppg for multiple seasons. The best shot blocking guard to ever play the game. He was a true rival to Kobe. Imagine if he had longevity.

@@blueicydasani4543 I'd still give the nod to Jordan on that. He recorded over 100 blocks in a single season twice... that's crazy for a guard. I think Wade did it once (it might have been this 08/09 season)

@@GoGetYourShinebox okay you may be right on that. D Wade still have the most blocked shots for his height tho

Pre-Achilles there really wasn't a season he was better than Kobe

He(Wade) was second. Put some respect on Kobe 08-09 season!!

they gave it to that bum Hebron

Rita's Party Creations Lebron absolutely did not deserve it over Dwyane!

@@stevenporras5309 he did

@@jasonmoukala8909 ?

I get what you mean but Wade was also going against those same names as well. Just not as long

Can’t believe you put roy there when dwade got there before roy.

lol Kobe was only 30 at 09

Wade is a top 3 SG without question. Nobody even disputes that. And in this game he led a bunch of scrubs (outside of Haslem) to a win over the most stacked team in the league.

Kobe, Gasol and a bunch of role players was not the most stacked team in the league. They had the best record.

And the DEFENSE. That part of the game isn't emphasized enough anymore. All 3 of them were hell on that end of the floor. They could all give u 50. Then have 3 steals and 2 blocks to go with it

And I'm speaking on defense from the 2 guard spot specifically

You don’t get two icy niggas competing against each other like this in the NBA anymore.

Wall who?

Mj blocked 7 footers too 🙄

@@treso414 MJ was taller, has higher vert, and has healthy knees compared to Wade with no meniscus since college. Wade has a very slight advantage blocking-wise but everything else is MJ miles away lol

SSA INVINCIBLEx shitt Jordan wasnt doin this shit on defense I swear or he wasnt as quick as wade

really....... lol i hope you are not serious

Kid chaor Are you blind or something? Stop acting dumb

SSA INVINCIBLEx so Jordan block shots like wade? No

Ballin Too He use to get even more early on. The difference is wade use to block player that are much taller than him.

Yea. Bald fade kobe wuz him at his peak. I mean he had literally every tool in his bag and knew wen to use each one precisely. Pretty to watch. U can jus see it wen u watch him. The game wuz super slow for him compared to others on the court. If that makes sense

Bro that wuz literally the perfect way to describe it. Wade wuz dam near frenetic. But graceful. Kobe's wuz more controlled and disciplined. Great match up

What

dwade better in the clutch and better all around espically high leverage defensve moments

lol u never watched basketball in the 2000s stop it

@@OriginalGacole LMFAO " better in the clutch "

check the percentages and youll see its true seem with lebron there better when it counts just no denying it

Original G acole you I found it so surprising when you check the "clutch" Percentage and look that kobes clutch percentage is lower than many all the time when ppl would say Kobe more clutch than someone I'd just go yea than u get the stats and you wait tf.. Probably cause Kobe played for the Lakers so he was always on national TV so his clutch moments we're always seem while the other ppl with better clutch ratings like Wade ppl would never see on TV unless they bought league pass

Scaredmamba lol he got straight to da rack 2

yougoBoy just imagine if he never got injured like bron. He would be even scarier than this

Kobe had just as much injuries if not more

@@vernellwarren77 exactly bro.. imagine if Kobe's achilles never tore, how much more would he have added to his legacy?? Dude was having one of his best seasons of his career that year!! And on top of that there's just one thing stopping D Wade from having the career that Kobe had... his DRIVE. And fyi, that's not a knock on Wade, cause there's only one person in the HISTORY of the NBA whose drive can even be compared or mentioned in the same breath as Kobe's... and that's Michael Jeffrey Jordan.

Daaaamn, my boi pulled out the middle name...

ace warren y’all are some haters.. what does kobe even have to do with this thread to begin with? I didn’t even mention his name. Lol Kobe was never held back by injuries like wade. It wasn’t until kobe was 35 yrs old that he suffered serious injuries like fracturing his knee and tearing his Achilles. That was like 3 years before he retired. Before then, he had only missed a few games here and there due to sprains and minor injuries like injuries to his fingers. Wade on the other hand had his left meniscus REMOVED before even stepping foot on the nba court back when he was in Marquette. He even quoted in 2014, “Whatever way you look at it, I'm going into my 11th season, there's lots of guys who haven't made it this far." No one is denying Kobe’s greatness.. yeah wade isn’t the best nba player ever but neither is kobe. Is that why y’all haters mad? Cause he couldn’t surpass mj?? 🤣🤣

Defense is still played bro

@@kingdarkonda1460 I agree. I think Wade has a higher gametime bball IQ than Kobe. The FG% and efficiency prime Wade had was much better than prime Kobe. Wade is a lot better too in the finals. Although Kobe had many more moments where he was completely unstoppable and could take it to a level Wade couldn't take it to when he was on fire.

Yes

THE

@@KingChris0306 He needs like 60 more blocks to pass M.J

I read he passed M.J when it comes to Most games with "2 blocks per game" bit in total blocks he's closing in

FervenC yes sir but in bpg he averages more cause Jordan has played more games
