Re-watching this is nothing compared to witnessing it live. The roar of the crowd that night was deafening. Definitely one of the best nights of my life.
Rip to this legend, this was always one of my favorite games of his because even though it was just a random regular season game he brought it like it was a game 7. One of the most competitive people in the history of sports
It was regular lol if the Lakers didn’t blow you out or win easy you had to worry about Kobe doin some hero shit to keep the game close, even if he didn’t hit every shot and they lost he pretty much always hit some crazy one on one shots to make it close That’s why he had 12yrs of his career where he was in his prime (all star level or higher) and in those 12yrs he went to 7 finals and won 5 rings And 3 of the years when he didn’t make the finals he had Kwame Brown/Smush Parker/Luke Walton and Lamar Odom as starters with Brian Cook/Chris Mihm/Young Vujacic/Bynum/Farmar off the bench which has to be the worst supporting cast of a top player in nba history at least that I’ve seen, So literally in the 12yrs where he was all star level Kobe he had at least 1 other all star on his team 9yrs and in those 9yrs he went to 7 finals and won 5 of em but people don’t really pay attention to his career in detail like that and the reason I always thought he was so hard to beat was because even tho he had the notion of being a ball hog he was very willing to play a team game to win, he’d run the offense through Shaq or Pau and play the team game to beat you, but if the team game wasn’t working he could start doing some crazy one on one shit hitting miracle shots still giving the team a chance to win as he was the greatest one on one player in history
Matt Lai Blame the heartless Howard, and the 40+ Nash with his one dimensional coach. Kobe had to play back to back 48 minutes at the age of 34, in his 17 year to put the Lakers in the playoffs...
They had a legitimate shot with the way he was playing the last couple of weeks that year, it was nuts we will probably never see anything else like it for awhile
Playing like 40 mins a night at the end of that season . Idc what people say Kobe should have had more MVPs. That's really the thing that make people have him outside the top 3 and top 5
@@derrickevansjr3564bro he was playing nearly every minute of every game for weeks. It’s one of the reasons he tore his Achilles. He was overworking himself, which is saying something. Kobe is unreal. Rip
lebron james, but he clearly deserved it aswell, his team went on a 23 win streak plus ha had the second most PER in nba history so no hard feelings but kobe deserved it also :)
Man this is crazy, Kobe was literally willing that team to the playoffs on his own. It sucks that this group was never at any point healthy to have everyone on the floor, and too bad they didnt get phil jackson to coach the team. Oh what couldve been for them.
Yeah because those fucking owners wasn’t messin wit Phil all time dumb ass move. Kobe ran himself to the ground trying to will this fucking team with Dwight soft ass
The most ridiculous thing about all this is everyone in the building KNOWS who is getting the ball but he still gets open and gets his shot off. Don't ever even compare LeBron to Kobe...please.
im a fan of both by the way just like kobe better. think his game is more complete damn 17th season tho? GOAT and he had triple double that game lls it
@@changez3336 he did not do it “by himself” he went 6/20 in the game 7 or have you ignored that just for the sake of deluding yourself? The Lakers were a full unit of veterans that were able to complement Kobe and Pau. Phil talked about Kobe messing up and being forced to play team ball eventually. “By himself” 💀LeBron isn’t the GOAT to me but there is someone who was able to singlehandedly drop Eastern Conference teams like the Pistons by himself. He nearly beat the damn Celtics at the height of their powers in 2008, with a WORST team than Bryant! So Kobetards use this nugget in their argument when it’s actually a completely moot point. It wasn’t that Kobe won 2010, it’s that the LAKERS won 2010.At least Kobe was better in 2009. Againist the Magic
reasontm1 I debate TMac's performance because everything worked out for him on both ends of the floor while Toronto was still scoring on LA. Also you have to factor in how much this game meant to the Lakers who were clawing their way into the playoffs while TMac's team was in a relatively spot position. When you factor all those things in, I think it goes up to personal preference.
T-Mac only scored 3 points. Kobe both scored 3 points and made an amazing penetration to the ring finishing with a dunk. Kobe's performance was more varied therefore complete.
Greatest clutch game I’ve ever seen in my life… I miss watching Kobe play so much, the NBA and the world hasn’t been the same since his retirement and untimely departure 😔
Was at this game at Staples, travelled all the way from Australia...Huge NBA fan, and also a Laker fan. This was one of the most intense, unbelievable final 4 minutes of sport i have witnessed and then overtime happened and raised even that bar. INCREDIBLE...
I remember being at friends place watching this on league pass and my homies were saying it’s over last 3 minutes. I was like fawk nah we got Kobe it’s never over. Never seen so much clutch shots in a game till his last game. Love you Kobe for bringing my squad closer together watching this
Man, if you look at the last play of that game, you'll witness how smart Kobe is. Kobe used his opponent's slower teammate as a screen to blow by the quicker defender.
ridiculous. not only did this man drain back to back to back 3's, he did it with thousands of people looking and then sealed the deal. WHAT.A.LEGEND. RIP
This was the last time I seen Kobe really be "great." He was killing it this season right up until he tore his Achilles tendon. EDIT: I came across this comment again and I thought to myself I initially made this comment in the middle of the 2015-16 season. Kobe in a unforgettable performance willed the Lakers to victory one last time in the last game of the season and the final game of his career. The guy scored 60 points and won the game for them. The last time I saw a vintage Kobe Bryant play was his very last NBA game.
I never get tired of watching this. Kobe is my all-time favorite basketball player, and, together with Shaq, made my childhood awesome. The NBA just won't be the same when he retires.
This is my favorite memory of him i was 7 at the time an i didnt even really care about the cake or presents cuz my birthday is march 8th (the day of that game) and all i wanted to do was watch the game an i remember the game was at like 7 or 8 and it was a school night an my mom was like "ethan cmon we need to eat some cake and go to bed" an me an my dad were saying hold on, or 1 more min and Kobe hitting not only 1 but 3 clutch shots like that is just amazing an even though hes gone now,im never gonna froget who he is and what he did playing basketball, and after. #ripKobe #ripGiGi #mambamentality
I watched this game live on TV, then I rewatched it on CZcams a couple of times, now I'm watching it again.. and guess what, it's amazing EVERY time! Fucking love Kobe!
Lol only game I've been to. Kobe will always be my favorite player, nothing seemed impossible with him in the game. Even when we were down 20 I'd force myself to keep watching just in case.
RIP KOBE 😢 As a Rockets fan it was an absolute privileged seeing you and thanks for your Mamba Mentality that I incorporated in my life to help me succeed.
Man this is what stats and all the shooting percentage can't measure which is basketball greatness, man I mean this man Kobe had Adults jumping up and down like little kids man. I haven't sen not too many greats do this..
If anybody ever argues with you , and does not understand what edge Kobe has over Lebron , show them this video , I have never seen Lebron take over games like this .
This was my first (and only) NBA game. I wanted to see Kobe live before he retired. I couldn’t have went to a better game. The crowd was absolutely deafening every time he hit a 3. It was such an exciting game. I will never forget this night.
This is SUCH greatness. If I was at a HS game and I saw somebody hit (what was basically) THREE game winners in one game, I would call that greatness. ONE -- could have been luck. TWO -- okay, you're LEGIT. But THREE??? And this is the NBA! No words to describe what I felt after seeing this. So unbelievable, all I could do was laugh. The best back-to-back clutch performances probably ever. Anyone who doesn't appreciate Kobe after this is missing out. This stuff is inspiring.
I'd like to say that I'm a fan of the game. That being said, I believe what Steph Curry is doing is remarkable, but to see Kobe hitting these amazingly tough 3-pointers and for ESPN to act like Steph was the first to do it just makes me sick. Oh well. True ballers all know how high Kobe ranks among the greats to ever play.
It's because Curry literally change the game nobody in history of the NBA that can shoot 3s at that rate and at that distance and still has a highest 3pt percentage compared to Reggie, Bird & Allen
I don't give a shit what anybody says. Kobe was and is the goat. Like g LeBron and MJ athletics. But when it comes to mentality and pure skill.. Kobe all day. If Kobe had better genes he would've literally been the goat. Thats why I consider him the goat. At least skill wise and mentality. Fosho and im confident in that one g. No need for stats or dumb talking points. I know what I saw.
I feel like every time something incredible happens, it always goes against the poor Toronto Raptors. Like Kobe's 81 point game, this game, and Paul Pierce's Game-Winning block.
This is the stuff of legends… I never seen lebron with a sequence like this with the game on the lin. I’ve seen Kobe do this countless times drain shot after shot in a row to crush the other teams spirit
I’m not even sure why but I couldn’t bring myself to watch any past Kobe videos until today man.. out of every single game he’s played, this is the first one that I had to see. Laker fan or not a laker fan, be grateful y’all got to see him and recognize this man is a global icon and basketball legend. Everyone is going to remember exactly where, and what they was doing when they heard he passed. Man I can’t even believe almost a week after it happened that he’s actually gone.. RIP mamba and everyone on that helicopter..

R.I.P & Salute To The Legend Kobe Bryant 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Gone Too Soon! Greeting With Lots Of Love All The Way From #Afghanistan 🇦🇫 Afghanistan Loves & Miss You, Sir
2012-13 was such a good year for him. 27 ppg and 6 assists on 45% shooting. Should've called it quits after the injury. No athlete has ever been dominant after an Achilles injury. It's been rough seeing him average 17 ppg on 30% shooting the last few years on a 20 win team. He doesn't deserve that.
Dominique Wilkins was still dominant after he ruptured his Achilles tendon. He averaged 29.9 when he came back. The fact that he wasn't in his 17th season like Kobe helped him to recover...
Kobe was actually getting better & better the first couple games from that injury. I think what made everything worse was when he essentially broke his leg, 6 games into the comeback season.
I remember watching this game at my new spot. My mom came out to see why I was yelling and then she sat with me and watched it lol.. blew our minds. Rip Kobe. May you have peace and joy in heaven with your babygirl Gi Gi. Hope to see you play in heaven.
The fact that I got to be there and witness this live in person is so much more special now! Dude the Goat IDC!! RIP KOBE you may be gone but definitely never ever forgotten.💜💛🕊️
The fact that he played 20 years may very well have been the best player in the league for 10 or 12 of those 20 years yet he only got one MVP award😢 . Proves to me that the MVP award is a popularity contest. Voted on by various NBA writers. That were voting on their favorite player and not the best player.
Definitely one of my favorite Kobe games. I always remember this game because I was a sports/strip club. All the guys stopped watching the girls and watched the 4th qt and OT.
R.I.P. Kobe and Gianna Bryant, and the other families affected by the crash. Don’t cry because he’s gone; smile because he was here. Heaven needed more ballers anyways 🐐
I still remember watching this live. Was looking rough but Kobe being Kobe obviously didn't think so. I was so hyped I couldn't sleep that night, just kept watching the highlights. I miss Kobe so much man
If anyone is a true fan you know this is the season kobe was putting up similar numbers to lebron and KD. This was one month before the playoffs as the lakers would eventually win the next 12 out of 18 with Kobe going crazy. Kobe goes on to tear his Achilles two games before being the 7th sead in the west. They were looking extremely dangerous with Kobe but ended up getting swept first round by who later ended up losing to the heat. San Antonio. Kobe was arguable never the same after that but he always played his heart out. Rip legend thanks for the memories. #1 in my book
Kobe been hurting Toronto's feelings for the longest ..

Rip to this legend, this was always one of my favorite games of his because even though it was just a random regular season game he brought it like it was a game 7. One of the most competitive people in the history of sports
In history in general, not just sports lol
To add, this was part of an effort to make the playoffs.
Houston Howie it did have significance though since they needed this to eek into that 8th seed
EliizDa1 facts
He exhausted his body on that season, should've gave him the mvp. He didn't tank and rest the season.
The most insane part about this is that he has done this several times in the past.
*countless times. not several...
It was regular lol if the Lakers didn’t blow you out or win easy you had to worry about Kobe doin some hero shit to keep the game close, even if he didn’t hit every shot and they lost he pretty much always hit some crazy one on one shots to make it close
That’s why he had 12yrs of his career where he was in his prime (all star level or higher) and in those 12yrs he went to 7 finals and won 5 rings
And 3 of the years when he didn’t make the finals he had Kwame Brown/Smush Parker/Luke Walton and Lamar Odom as starters with Brian Cook/Chris Mihm/Young Vujacic/Bynum/Farmar off the bench which has to be the worst supporting cast of a top player in nba history at least that I’ve seen,
So literally in the 12yrs where he was all star level Kobe he had at least 1 other all star on his team 9yrs and in those 9yrs he went to 7 finals and won 5 of em but people don’t really pay attention to his career in detail like that and the reason I always thought he was so hard to beat was because even tho he had the notion of being a ball hog he was very willing to play a team game to win, he’d run the offense through Shaq or Pau and play the team game to beat you, but if the team game wasn’t working he could start doing some crazy one on one shit hitting miracle shots still giving the team a chance to win as he was the greatest one on one player in history

Greeting With Lots Of Love All The Way From #Afghanistan 🇦🇫
Afghanistan Loves & Miss You, Sir
I Killed The Reply Button & Can't Get Enough Of It...Absolutely Spectacular...
A-F-G-H-A-N-I-S-T-A-N
W E - L O V E - KOBE MAMBA BRYANT!!!
When i first saw this i was speechless and i showed all my friends this i was just so amazed and I am sad that Kobe is Injured #return
Kobe should have at least 2 more MVP the years Nash won back to back should be his
+Justin Aguilar Nash deserved the first one but the 05-06 one should've been Kobe's no doubt.
God kobe pls comeback!!🥺
The greatest player? You damn right he is. ¡Viva The Black Mamba!
2012-13 was such a good year for him. 27 ppg and 6 assists on 45% shooting. Should've called it quits after the injury. No athlete has ever been dominant after an Achilles injury. It's been rough seeing him average 17 ppg on 30% shooting the last few years on a 20 win team. He doesn't deserve that.
Dominique Wilkins was still dominant after he ruptured his Achilles tendon. He averaged 29.9 when he came back. The fact that he wasn't in his 17th season like Kobe helped him to recover...
Kobe was actually getting better & better the first couple games from that injury. I think what made everything worse was when he essentially broke his leg, 6 games into the comeback season.
Nothing can amount to the feeling kobe would give you down in the clutch, miss you GOAT
RIP Kobe My Hero
I remember watching this game at my new spot. My mom came out to see why I was yelling and then she sat with me and watched it lol.. blew our minds. Rip Kobe. May you have peace and joy in heaven with your babygirl Gi Gi. Hope to see you play in heaven.
Favorite moment of his. Believe it or not. Rip Kobe. Was at this game. Was magical honestly. Electric.
Miss those exciting moments Kobe brought us. Never see them again with today's lakers.
man i wish nash and kobe could have been together when they were younger
Can anyone tell me what is that song at 1:50?
The best player to ever wear the purple and gold 1978-2020 RIP Mamba.💜💛🖤🤍
GREATEST OF ALL TIME NOTHING WILL CHANGE THAT
I remember this game. He absolutely went off those last minutes
Don't ever compare Lebron to The Kobe....
Exactly don't disrespect the king with such a disrespectful comparison
excuse me, who's king are you talking about?
Lebron is far away in Kobe's level ,8 24 goat
He was pushed by Kuzma lol
This man is referring the King of Travels, Flops and Choke
My favorite laker game, RIP Kobe Bean Bryant. Now I cant watch this game without crying
RIP Kobe. 💔
Rip to the goat 🐐
At around 1:00 did anyone see the no look bounce pass from Steve Nash 😳
I always rewatch this game throughout the year. It is definitely my favorite and one for the classics! RIP Kobe Bean Bryant.
Beautiful pass by Steve at 59 second mark
The fact that I got to be there and witness this live in person is so much more special now! Dude the Goat IDC!! RIP KOBE you may be gone but definitely never ever forgotten.💜💛🕊️
I was at this game. It was my favorite from maybe my favorite player. Kobe rest in peace and thank you for all that you gave me.
kobe deserves more mvp
The fact that he played 20 years may very well have been the best player in the league for 10 or 12 of those 20 years yet he only got one MVP award😢 .
Proves to me that the MVP award is a popularity contest. Voted on by various NBA writers. That were voting on their favorite player and not the best player.
Definitely one of my favorite Kobe games. I always remember this game because I was a sports/strip club. All the guys stopped watching the girls and watched the 4th qt and OT.
Look at Kobe man so inspirational
R.I.P Kobe🐐
It’s not even the fact that these are 3s. It’s the level of difficulty. This guy has 4 arms waving in his face and still converting. Silly stuff man
My favorite performance of all time from Kobe. He was SUPER clutch in this game and Truly showed how GREAT he was. RIP 🐍 We love you Kobe!
He was so gooooooddd
So many great memories!!! #GOAT.2 🐐
Bruh this one of my favorite games by him I never seen nothing like it damn rip Kobe love you bruh❤️❤️❤️💯
It’s been two weeks and I keep watching these videos it feels so unreal Kobe still feels as if he’s here
2013 was one of my favorite Kobe seasons
Kobe always took over against my Raptors, it was an honour.
I get the chills everytime i see this. Im a lebron fan but sheesh. This game i will never forget 💛💜
who else, started looking up kobes greatest highlights after that isane 60 point farewell game he just pulled one last time? lol #thankyoukobe
all damn day sir
I remember watching this game live at my grandma's house.
R.I.P. Kobe and Gianna Bryant, and the other families affected by the crash.
Don’t cry because he’s gone; smile because he was here.
Heaven needed more ballers anyways 🐐
Age 34. Had 2 more rings left in him at this point.
My favorite Kobe game I have had the pleasure to watch. Tears in my eyes watching it again after all this time
That second 3, the pass from Nash was incredible. Perfect bounce pass in stride.
Rest in Paradise, I love you Kobe.
Pau is like damn did he just do it again. Pau is going to miss that in Chi Town.
3 to tie ? 3 to tie !!!!!! My favorite part
I still remember watching this live. Was looking rough but Kobe being Kobe obviously didn't think so. I was so hyped I couldn't sleep that night, just kept watching the highlights. I miss Kobe so much man
If anyone is a true fan you know this is the season kobe was putting up similar numbers to lebron and KD. This was one month before the playoffs as the lakers would eventually win the next 12 out of 18 with Kobe going crazy. Kobe goes on to tear his Achilles two games before being the 7th sead in the west. They were looking extremely dangerous with Kobe but ended up getting swept first round by who later ended up losing to the heat. San Antonio. Kobe was arguable never the same after that but he always played his heart out. Rip legend thanks for the memories. #1 in my book
