From 2008-2010 Kobe Bryant beat more 50+ win teams than Magic Johnson did during his entire 13 year career with the Lakers including a 59 win Orlando Magic Team that had the #1 defense in the NBA led by Dwight Howard. Kobe's playoff runs aren't mentioned enough by mainstream media outlets.
What about the 2002 one when the refs gave the lakers the series against the kings.
@@dpistons149back when you could literally call the defense for a foul every single time and they ignored several blatant fouls a game on shaq? When the kings didn’t shoot 50% from the free throw line at home in game 7?
@@dpistons149nothing better to do then come and be a hater, I know it's the truth, but being lonely in your life is really sad, you should really move out of your mum's basement
Yep, Webber getting robbed that year.@@dpistons149
@@dpistons149while that’s valid, that has nothing to do with the original post just appreciate the greatness of Kobe.
This video shows a real representation of Kobe's entire game. He wasn't just a scorer. He was a great passer, great facilitator, a great leader, a great defensive player, a coach on the court, and his knowledge of the game was as vast, and extensive as anyone could ever get at their profession of choice. He understood the flow of the game itself. That's why he could miss his first 6 or 7 shots in the first half, not sweating it at all, and then hit 9 of his next 10 shots when it really mattered in the second half, and the 4th quarter. All Kobe cared about was keeping the game within reach to have a chance to win at the end, or trying to keep a lead. He knew that the first 3 quarters of the game mean little as long as the game is within 10 points or less going into the 4th quarter. Kobe would often use the first half of competitive games to download information on what he could get away with against certain matchups, and defensive rotations, then he would come out and turn up the dial against his opponents during the second half. There were also a lot of games where Kobe was so dominant offensively from the start that he wouldn't even play the 4th quarter if the Lakers were ahead big on the scoreboard. That 81 point game was not an anomally. Kobe could have had 4 or 5 80 point games in his career, but he didn't care about stats. He only cared about winning the game, and winning championships. Kobe was a basketball genius. He could turn his scoring on and off almost at will, and even in the rare cases when his shot wasn't falling, he would effect the game in so many different ways that he could still be the most impactful player on the court. That's why he had 5 rings, and that's why Kobe is far better than any player since MJ left the Bulls in retirement in 1998/1999. Nobody has met that standard that MJ set for the Guard/SF positions other than Kobe Bryant.
Well put explanation I totally agree
Great take. Kobe is my GOAT. I have no issues with anyone that goes with MJ either. Those two are in the rare air above the rest.
My friends who started watchig ball heavy around 2015 always say its Lebron. I bet if lebron was in a 7 game series against kobe they would all feel the fear which is the difference of Lebron vs Kobe. You always have a chance with Lebron, with Kobe you just pray.
The refs admitted they rigged to get Kobe in the playoffs against king's 😂😂😂
Amazing
That 3 year run from ‘07-‘10 was insane. My favorite player ever. The greatest artist in the history of the game. A Picasso on the court. Beautiful game to watch. Never cheated the game and puts on a show for the fans and ALWAYS played to win.
PPl dont know how insanely difficult this run was.
What I love about this Laker team is that they were almost a dynasty and our roster wasn’t good compared to other Great championship teams. This team just gelled perfectly
@@jaydaytoday3548 Love Kobe and Pau, but that Orlando team was not exactly a juggernaut.
@@digitalvictory8266tf you mean not a juggernaut? They were literally the best defense in the league and won 59 games💀 nice try

So many parts of his game are underrated. Particularly playmaking
And his off-ball movement.

He was such a good ball handler, very underrated.

@@YungBZ also Kobe closed out all those games for Shaq during those runs. Similar to how Kyrie closed out for Bron during the 2016 run. Check the final minute stats on those series. Skap Attack has a video about it.
This was such a criminally underrated run.
Closest thing to Jordan.. . . Garnett and the Celtics really robbed Kobe of his perfect story. If he wins the chip, finals MVP and Olympic medal then 3 peats. . . . .the conversation for Goat would be different. . .

@@jww23nyc facts
@@jww23nycWhere was Kobe in 07? Or 11? Or 12? Or 13? Or 14? Or 15? Or 16?
His game was so complete. The man had no major weaknesses at his peak. But what really surprised me is just how good of a passer/playmaker he was.
underrated passer, kobe pass when it matter.
He was getting these assists with 2 bigs on the floor that weren’t floor spacers ! Imagine if Kobe had real shooters on his team 🤪🤪🤪
He was making plays like that during the 3peat with Shaq. He just got more smooth with it as his career progressed. Kobe played winning ball.
that's that media bs. Bean was an great passer when he had trustworthy teammates.
Look at kobes playmaking, most underated passer and playmaker ever. The way they talk like he was a pure iso player is a complete casual lie
He’s top five in assists in history too
@@Christhedon96most assists by a sg in history i’m pretty sure
The revisionist history around Kobe is honestly disgraceful, this guy did every single feasible thing in basketball to an elite level few ever achieve with just a few skills let alone all of them
@nickrussell8975 literally had no weaknesses. I can tell who really watched kobe vs who just follows narratives. I hate narratives. They make me sick.
@@Christhedon96You made me look look up the stats lol, he’s not in the top 25 in assists
MJ is the goat but Kobe is number 2 right behind him.
My favorite playoff run to re watch every now and then. That game 4 vs Utah was so cold blooded 🔥🔥🔥
Ronnie Brewer was playing textbook defense on Kobe, but it didn't matter Kobe singlehandedly emasculated his defenders in front of live audiences which was mentally demoralizing.
Plus the tape undeniably separated Him from anyone that could be considered a PEER of his era by even todays standards. ISO joe never got far so many other potent scorers even when AI was with MELO Mamba was right there waiting. Kobe was the Real thing on both ends. Its what made the narrative against LBJ/compared to MJ...so arguable. BC Kobe would just step into the 4th on an entirely different level than anyone on the court. Jimmy Buckets said it himself after his insane bubble finals game...postgame already defeated BC he knew he could never accomplish a performance of that level/mins played etc on MJ/Kobes level on a consecutive basis. He then realized the amount of time/work it took the conditioning physically and mentally. It was mindblowing even to HIM a dude that just played his best game all time/ever in his career. The Gap was eye opening even for him. That postgame/conference was pretty eye opening enough in the modern era. He was also paying respect to LBJ for being able to play all positions/covers etc and know the game inside and out. But it says a lot about what a true 5* elite player really is in the league.
the whole 2009 playoffs was my favorite.. take me back please
My very first basketball season watched all 82 laker games man 09 kobe best player ever in history idc what anyone says
2007-10 Kobe was the most complete version of him by far
He was bouncing that ball hard as sh*t. That 08 Loss put a chip on his shoulder.
Any other superstar had championship level supporting cast around them during the prime years, but Kobe was stuck with a rebuilding team during his prime and still won 5!
To me, he is the most talented and most skilled player to ever grace the court. So humble off the court that he always paid respect to the past but on the court he let his work do the talking.
Dude this was not a rebuilding team lol. Lakers didn’t commit to a rebuild until the 2014-15 season
@@barackojamba Definitely how can I forget that Smush Parker and Mihm and Brown were superstars who joined together for Kobe to help him buy his rings

Kobe Bryant Always Have Been In My Top 5 Greatest Players of All Time
Kobe's my GOAT right up there with MJ. Nobody else compared to those two.
Top 2 in mine
and he’s not 3, 4, or 5
#1
DEFINITELY IN MY TOP 4!!!!.
In 2009, Kobe was at the peak of his career before slowly declining from 2009 to 2013. Phil Jackson mentioned in his book (11 Rings And The Soul Of Success) that the 2009-2010 season was much tougher than the 2007-2008 or the 2008-09 as Kobe began aging, this implying his decline.
2009 was redemption as he won his title without Shaq. Defeating the Celtics the year after was for me the sweetest victory as they are the Lakers' eternal rivals.
Thanks for sharing. I love Phil Jackson's insights.
also all of the injuries he had accumulated through the years. literally playing with a broken finger in the finals
@@immafataznfacts and torn ligaments plus the achilles tear is what ultimately made him decline much quicker. (2013) before injuries would’ve been one of his best years when you look at that season
Which year did Kobe have that rape trial ???
@@user-be7tc2bd6e the same year that I smacked the shit outta you. Remember?
most skilled player of all time, in top 3 of all time ofc, behind MJ and Kareem, i don't care about stats, Kobe mastered his game to the art, inspired so much people around the world, greatest laker, rip Mamba
No
@@rockysalvatore435yes dummie
He's top 2. Just behind the master MJ.
Kobe was insane and the team was fantastic too during these times
The way this video opens feels like a dream, Kobe was so special man....always gonna be my favorite player of all time.
2009 / 2023 cant believe how the game has changed
The spacing and lack of 3pt attempts is what stands out
As a grown man, the pleasure and motivation I get from watching Kobe Bryant (and reading anything related to him) is truly hard to explain. So much philosophy and wisdom wrapped behind that savage intensity and unbreakable will. He was fucking special. No joke.
Well said brother I feel the same way
Kobes back to back are the most impressive of any player. Lebron and kds aren’t comparable. Only the dream can look him in the eyes off his back to back
Why isn’t bron’s comparable?
Bitch needs alot of stars to win @@kingclutch1978
@@kingclutch1978like Bron didn’t win back to back MVPs and finals MVPs and had some of the greatest playoff performances
@@mija4264 exactly
@@mija4264 After team hopping joining his all-star buddies and numerous shooters around him. Back to back MVPs where he stole that 2009 MVP from Kobe. Some of the greatest playoff performances against sub .500 teams and rookie led teams. If you look at his finals against the Warriors, I've never seen a star player commit blatant fouls and flops. Then, he quit when things got rough and joined the Lakers afterwards. LeBron is one of the most overrated athlete in league history.
Cried the day he passed. Loved Kobe. Him and Duncan are my all time favorite players. What a blessing it was to watch them both
Damn, this is fire. Another 2008-2009 Kobe compilation compiled by the great FreeDawkins. Also, it was a Christmas Day release.
48:46 My favorite Kobe signature
I don’t like what mark jackson said that kobe would try to get 50. He was actually never selfish. His teams just relied on him a lot to score. He was a champion at 21 for a reason
He was a champion at 21 cuss of shaq.... an kobe was selfish.... an that's ok. That was his game. An it worked.
@@ClapyoEarstogether I seen plenty of mvps in my life and none of them brought 7 team members on a talk show like kobe. When kobe won the mvp he called up his teammates and acknowledged their contribution. I can name a lot of things that he did that proved he wasn’t selfish but of course you’re an average beta male with no ambition or drive so you will never get it
@@ClapyoEarstogetherHe wasnt selfish he was best scorer on his team and avreged 4 asists as a sg
@@westside-qe3yqthat’s terrible, Kobe was the primary ball handler only averaging 4 assist a game. Stop saying as a shooting guard Kobe was not the traditional shooting guard, he was the primary ball handler, not a spot up shooter, he was the main scorer, not a 3 and d guy who could knock down shots.
@@Dookie4546 Actually Kobe avreged 5-6 asists per game in his prime as SG.He was not pg like Lebron,and like you said he was best scorer on his team and first option offcorse he would have less asists,and he always took the last shoot not passing it.
Theres no way ppl say lebron is more skilled than kobe. Let alone better than kobe. Kobe game is so beaitful to watch
Also, the "Lebron makes his teammates better" narrative should stop!
@@voltjutsu completely
Why is Lebron always brought up in the comments of a Kobe video?
@@mija4264 because mainstream media and his fan base claim that Kobe is overrated and that just simply ludicrous to basketball fans.
@@mija4264. Both LeBron and Kobe have been two of the most polarizing players in recent history . You can maybe add Kd there too.
It was not just Kobe, this whole squad was such a good team and fun to watch too. They had some great chemistry because they kept their core together for quite a few years and then added good pieces over time to it, like Gasol, Ariza, and Fisher and they played with an urgency after loosing to the Celtics in the final that year before. To me they were one of the best Lakers squads of all time.
They need to add this squad in 2K
It was literally just Kobe and the gang non of these players are allstars not odom not fisher, not Farmar, not shannom brown. Only borderline star is Pau Gasol who was just an allstar caliber player. Im 30 so I remember vividly Gasol wasn’t no KG, Dirk, Howard, Yao, Z-Bo or Duncan. He was just not a trash player or typical role player like the rest of the Lakers.
@@koolkai4299. They put them in the game for Mamba Moments but not for actual player control 🤦🏽♂️
@@EnTiempo824 a damn shame
@@EnTiempo824facts the hate on Kobe is real. Meanwhile lebron has like 4 teams at least. They know that 2008-10 Kobe would’ve made 2K players (younger generation) be like “Oh shit Kobe might’ve been better than Lebron because look at what he can do on the court compared to Lebron” basically a slightly worse version of MJ.
Mannn!! I'm so glad I got to see Kobe play. Then I read all these people claiming Lebron is the best but honestly, Kobe gave his heart to the game, played most of the seasons and instead of being fragile and sensible like Lebron, he'd comeback with a better game the next day. R.I.P. Kobeeee😢😢
shiiit bro Kobe AND Magic are better than Lebron in my book. They both have more rings too. Once the recency bias fades, things will get back to normal lol
@@KickinUpDust024 Kobe never beat a 73-9 win team.
@@Ghost-rb6cw And Lebron has yet to win his fifth ring...and that aint lookin too bright lol
@@KickinUpDust024 yeah because he's 39. Unlike Kobe lebron wasn't drafted to a organization where got to play with another top 5 player in the league, nice comeback tho, it was also a weak one lol. 😂
@@Ghost-rb6cw Lol sounds like cope. Lebron will never be held in the same regard as Kobe or Magic, especially in L.A. Deal with it. Clocks ticking...
Ahhh 2009 kobe my most favorite version of him...unlike his 2003 version which is raw athletic and 2006 monster scoring...2009 version was just the wisdom at its apex...not so explosive in scoring but just unleash the right scoring and involves teamates..not very athletic but utilising footwork and postmoves to fool opponents 🐍🐍🏀🏀
2003 was also his defensive peak
That right to left on Dwight Howard was INSANE
How does that one not get clipped more
that move is better than jordan air lay up because its over 4x dpoy dwight in the finals.
This was apart of him (Kobe) damn near three-peating post Shaq. After those years was when I knew he was the 2 or 3rd best player ever. Whenever MJ is Kobe is behind him.
"You get Open Looks of great Play" the best words ever 👏
Im so appreciative to be able to watch Kobe's past games again and again. My GOAT. I miss him so much man. He made me fall in love with the game.
Man, am I glad you included Kobe's press conference after Game 2 of the Finals! "Job's not finished" is one of the things I think of from this portion of his career.
He’s the goat
We All Know That Already
Stop it that’s mj
Of course we already know jordan the goat
one of best playoffs performance by my GOAT
dam right and these people swear lebron is the goat with his 6 finals losses

Kobe had zero weaknesses absolutely zero weaknesses offensively can turn left , can turn right just a poetry in motion.. great footwork , great poise , just the greatest to ever lace em up. Kobe the goat in my eyes
I dont see who is better at playing Basketball than this man 24-8 Kobe Bryant and I have watched the NBA since 95. Unguardable.
I don’t care what anyone says… no one could beat Kobe 1v1 in his prime… no one not even Jordan
Jordan..........wait hold on do not get ahead of yourself there bud
I still give Jordan the edge, but Kobe’s bag was just that insane. I would have paid top dollar to see 29/30 yr old kobe Vs 29/30 yr old MJ.
@@greyfox8310 bud Jordan said it himself… plus Kobe’s defense was better then Jordan’s
@@greyfox8310 plus I doubt you even watched Jordan play. Just like every millennium jumping on a train you know nothing about..
💯
Damn ... Hearing Lance Tanner shout "KOBEEEEEEE!!" every time he makes a shot....I really miss that
I'd put Kobe over Jordan at the 2 guard I've always believed Kobe was a better shooter than Jordan. I'd probly want Jordan at my point over Magic but still just watching Kobe he has to be the greatest shooting guard of all time.
That’s fair coming from a Jordan fan. Also Jordan averaged a triple double while playing the point guard for 11 games
I’ve always thought that Kobe was definitely better from 3 than MJ, and it’s also the kind of 3’s that Kobe could hit, that I never saw Jordan hit.
Mr. Bryant was my all time hero growing up, just unbelievable the way he played this game until his final season. Not a day goes by I don’t remember him, Gianna and the ones we lost. 🙏🏽
kobe my favorite all time basketballer he is the reason i started watch basketball
Me too
As a die hard Lakers fan I knew the inevitable…Kobe was purely and simply not going to be stopped that year.
Went to the 2009 parade wit the homies at the L.A. coliseum. It was scorching that day. Sweating bullets, got a parking citation, almost got into a fight with some cholos but well worth it. Wish I still had the flicks from that day smh
I remember the 2010 win on TV with my family, seeing Kobe run to the other side of the court with the ball, and how my neighborhood in the valley was going wild. People were outside their houses waving Lakers flags and a bunch of honking from drivers. Every radio station was celebrating the Lakers winning. The riot in LA happened. 😂
I’ll never forget that moment. Really good time for LA and especially with beating Boston
His whole 09 playoff run and this is the highest quality video ive seen on youtube. How did you get all this footage.
@@HunterX1720 damn I didnt know
not even close to lossless quality. This is russian torrent website stuff.
He’s become severely underrated. He’s easily a top 5 player to ever play the game and if you don’t think so you’re just lying to yourself.
kobe proving why he is the 2nd greatest of all time
He's my GOAT just a little bit above MJ. The rest aren't even close to them.
My brother favorite player rest easy Kobe
The most underrated part of Beans game is his handle. That and his ability to shoot 3’s either catch and shoot or off the dribble, man him pretty much unstoppable. He’s doing this against all defensive team players. Plus Bean played in an era that had the hardest defenses. Field goal percentages where historically low in this era
Yup DEFINITELY!!!!. DAT WAS FOR SURE!!!!.
What a classic montage!! RIP Bean! Missing u everyday!
Such a perfectly constructed team. Not a weak link in the roster. Kobe was absolutely killing it during this time,the fact he didn’t win an mvp this year was highway robbery. Kobe played in the absolutely stacked western conference, Lebron had a great year too but the East sucked outside of 3 teams.
Lebrons team record was 66 and 16. Even in the west that’s the 1st seed . Lebron lead that Cavs team in points, rebounds, steals, and blocks and assist.
@@Dookie4546 It’s easier to get 60+ wins against scrub teams like the Pistons and Pacers than the Suns and the Mavericks at the time. Kobe should’ve gotten MVP
@@KentuckyWaterfall13 no he shouldn’t have, you don’t understand how conferences work, just because lebron is in the east doesn’t mean he is playing less comp in the regular season 🤣
@Dookie4546 LeBron is just an illuminati member. That is why they're brainwashing all viewers that he is great. But in reality, LeBron is mediocre.

That season and the playoffs Kobe was just absolutely sick the jazz didn't have a answer for him
Kobe was dominant, one thing i see that was a big difference was MJ was ULTRA athletic jumped way higher gliding like a video game. He is the closest number two in style but man MJ was a freak.
Kobe, in his 13th year, played all 82 games for 2 seasons straight. Both years he played 20+ games into the playoffs, and played for Team USA. Load management wasn't even an option for that man. Savage 🔥
Kobe Bryant is king buzzers beater
I really idolize nd based my whole game off Kobe growing up
Nd all the way up until my age 31 I'd never dropped a tear for anmy person ever until he passed away that day.
He's so phenomenal!

People forget how good a healthy Andrew Bynum was, definitely one of the most important players on this team. Kobe is my favorite player of all time as a Laker fan, this era was what put him next to MJ imo. RIP Mamba 🐍💜
MJ never had a team this bad tho lol. Low spacing
@@rockysalvatore435spacing matters less when you have two dominant bigs who can score in the paint.
When players collapse to help, THAT’S the spacing. Basketball 101
@@rockysalvatore435 That 98 team was worse than these Lakers teams. MJ never had centers like gasol or bynun. Odom was better than kukoc. And ariza was better than kerr due to being bigger and more versatile for defense. Rodman was a good rebounder but from time to time he would check out and pippen had other priorities along with chronic back issues.
Bynum averaged 6 points and 4 rebounds in the nba finals… what you mean dominant big man?
@@danieltrejo192 so the rest of the 82 game season/playoffs is nonexistent then?
That year Kobe was a absolute beast he was absolutely amazing I see why the Lakers won that chip that year 😂😁💯👍👌💪
1:03:21 ... Remembering this play like it was yesterday, was just 20years old, huge Kobe fan... still get goosebumps when Bean made that Mamba face after that dagger 3... Im tearing up typing this shit out... Mamba 4L.....
Love kobe 4life
Miss you Kobe thank you for the inspiration
Kobe Bryant will forever be my 🐐 because of the skill, the artistry, and how effortless the guy made basketball look. Anyone can argue that MJ, LeBron, Kareem all had better careers than Kobe and I will not argue with y’all about those other 3 being the 🐐. But for me personally the guy was the best player I had ever seen, from both sides of the basketball court. Offense and defense…💛💜
THE 1 N ONLY MAMBA
great video, thak you. Everybody miss Kobe a lot
I needed this.
Real lakers fans would never put lbj over kobe
Still cannot believe he is gone. RIP legend
