RIP Kobe. Watching you play was some of the best times of my life. I also am a Jordan fan all of the way and hated the Lakers until Kobe joined. Couldnt stop watching him play. It was like God gave us another MJ to Watch.
Yeah man fo realz still 💪 greatest one-on-one player ever and in which is even MJ said Kobe would beat him since he stoled all his moves tho so yeah lol 😂
A better version
So true. I saw both. Never miss a mj gane as a kid. From Illinois. Kobe i use too see sometimes. I didn't had cable. But i use to like seeing kobe and his moves. Same passion as Mj. I even bought Some Kobe Bryant shoes at $65 at Marshalls back in 2010. I was happy that day. Unforgettable day
@@secoTheSonicFan :LOL Kobe ate a 2 piece from Chris Childs. He wasn't beating anyone in a fight.
both the bomb classic players love them both👍👍👍 mj and kb 🤙🤙
Been a die hard Lakers fan for 18 years now Kobe was my favorite player and til this day the best player I've ever seen, Kobe was crazy good RIP GOAT 🙏
Same, lebron will never be Kobe nor hold a candle to the MAMBA
He was also a hardcore intellectual people tend to forget. He spoke multiple languages, read extensively, and even made a short documentary about the love of basketball
I know that can play piano very well always doing charity work
That is the main reason why he's so so so different than the rest of them !!!
What makes Kobe stand out from all others, was his cultural impact. He might have been the most intelligent player of the game. It showed in his creativity.
Bird…
We miss you Kobe
@Rachel's crazy FACE what
Finally some Kobe on BTM!
Number 8 Kobe Bean Bryant was my favorite one he got all the records he was ruthless he dunked on everyone he was Michael Jordan in his younger days
“ HE WAS GREAT “ I’ve never seen a player like him !! I could watch him play everyday !!! He had MAD SKILLS !!! MJ IS GREAT BUT “ KOBE “ was A ALL AROUND GREAT SKILLED PLAYER “ JUST PLAIN O GREAT !! I miss him soooo much & GIGI TOO !! She was going to be GREAT Like her father !! Gone But NEVER FORGOTTEN !! RIP KOBE & GIGI & HIS & HER FRIENDS !! 😉🥰🤔🏀🥇🐕🦺✝️🌹❤️☮️
Amen 🙏✝️
Kobe is a legend competed against legends from 80's, 90's, 2000's, 2010's, and saw the first wave of 2020's players
Yup
Kobe Bryant 8/24 is my favorite player and very competitive. He never cheated the game of basketball. I wrote a poem about him throughout his career especially his Oscar winning trophy 🏆. Last words on the court“What can I say Mamba out!” 🐍 💜💛.
#GreatestLakerAlltime
Love watching Kobe play. 8/24 was the best. Thanks and much love BTM
I am a die hard Suns fan.. i remember when my Suns were the two seed playing the 7 seed Lakers in 2006.. everyone was picking the Suns to win in four or five... I remember telling everyone that would listen..... "but they have Kobe Bryant!".. to most, including all the sports analysts, it didn't matter, the Suns were so much better as a team.. but I knew better. Kobe Bryant at that time was the most dangerous player in the NBA.. going into that series, I was terrified. I thought that the Suns could be the first two seed to lose to a seven seed in decades. And I was right almost, Kobe Bryant darn near won that series all by himself, took the Suns to 7 games! Kobe Bryant was the second most clutch player (Jordan being first) I've ever witnessed with my eyes. In my humble opinion, he is the second greatest basketball player in history. I know there is a Jordan vs LeBron debate.. but I agree with Shaquille O'Neal and Allen Iverson, y'all just going to pass Kobe Up!?! If I wanted to win a game 7 with all the chips on the line, I take Kobe over LeBron 10 out of 10 times. Kobe Bryant is an assassin... Not only is he the second greatest player that ever lived, but I don't think it's even close. LeBron James is definitely top five, but he ain't no Kobe.. as a Suns fan, I never once feared LeBron James like I did Kobe Bryant.
Very well said!
Good break down I studied Kobe and Jordan realized the difference is era for sure that's y mj goat but Kobe had a secret shot that never missed on the baseline I think that move and that darn pump fake I compare it to a skyhook every time they needed a shot it's a little kick after and it was money
R.I.P kobe bean Bryant at first I didn't except you as a great player when you were a rookie plus I had the Jordanitist and wasn't ready to move on and didn't care much about basketball afterwards. Plus I felt that everything was given to you on a silver platter by having Shaq on your team. And I was like who wouldn't win with Shaq. But when you showed me you were great and clinched 2 more rings without Shaq and in the fashion you did I instantly had respect and love for your game, and I'm proud to say I witnessed it all from beginning to end and I tip my hat off to you and I prey you rest in peace and may God bless you and your daughter and the other's who lost their lives tragically. Much love from Louisiana.
One of the most beautiful open court fast break dunks was when Kobe dunked on Vincent Yarbrough of the Denver Nuggets……THING OF BEAUTY
My heart hurts everytime I think about Kobe. THE GOAT in his own right. A true Legend. RIP
Kobe helped me grow my love of basketball and then my love of sports… RIP mamba
He had what only a few have had in the NBA. Passion for the game. RIP Mamba
Kobe is the most underrated basketball player of all time.
@Mikey Prenaj it's too bad you weren't on there with them. I'd trade you for Kobe or Gigi any day.
Kobe you’re one of the best ever RIP legend
Still crazy to know he/his daughter are gone!! and RIP to the other victims that are gone 💯 was so sad that day and still am! Hated Kobe when I was younger cause he would kill the Celtics (and a lot of other teams!) haha but man I grew to respect and love his game cause this man worked hard and loved the game 🏀🔥💯💯💯💯
I remember I woke up after sleeping and looking on my phone. I saw a social media post of Kobe reportedly killed in a helicopter crash. I thought it was a fake rumor at first but then I saw the news about his death. Rip mamba and gianna
Same, as a kings fan back in the day he was easy to hate but he always struck fear in my heart when he was on the court. The more i watched, the more and more i liked him.
Can't say enough about how Kobe and his Mamba Mentality impacted my life.
Shaq and KG's comments were brilliant. Massive respect to a man and player that worked all day, every day to achieve what he demanded from himself.
RIP Kobe B. 🙏
100% agree. RIP!!! MJ is my childhood hero/player but Kobe being 1 year younger than myself is my 2nd favorite. Especially after MJ retired. I watched Kobe just as hard and as much as I did MJ. Thank you Lord for blessing us and giving us Kobe for the time he was here on earth. Still hard to believe…
RIP Kobe.
K O B E 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Kobe was simply phenomenal. #RIP
Kobe is a icon a legend a blessing.. When you got these kind of labels next to your name.... There's nothing else to say.... And that's a great thing!!!.. God bless kobe and gigi and etc.. We still love y'all.. Lakers Nation 4ever ✌️ 🙏
Facts Kobe was that dude bro, Rip Kobe Bean Bryant 😞
Watching the Man you idolized on day 1, brings me to tears everytime I see a video about him, gone too soon, I miss you Kobe.
Kobe Bryant is my Greatest Basketball Player Ever I didn't see MJ when I was Younger
Kobe Bryant forever My Goat 🐐 !
great video!!
Ty legends for showing love to Kobe ….
True legend.
MJ is the number 1 & Kobe is +1.
I miss him so much
Thank you Kobe may god put you in paradise as a MVP inshallah
I grew up watching michale jordan play and as I got older I watched kobe play both those men will forever be legends
Thumbs up 👍👍!! I agree 💯
I still remember that Garnett lob to Kobe... I don't know how he caught that.... It was high as hell... It was like Garnett was treating him like Kemp.
Why Kobe Bryant was so greatest player of all time * correction
Most skilled player ever, but not the greatest ever that's Jordan, Kareem, Lebron, etc.
Dude sucked
...one of a kind indeed🙏#kb8:24
Mike idolizing Kobe makes me 😃 smile..!#ripmamba 😢
Glad I saw this legend play ty lakers and bean 🙏 ❤ 🙌 an chick and stu calling it 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
KB24, my fav player ever. Watched his entire career. I’ve said it for years now and of course get lots of arguments, which is fine, makes it fun. But honestly believe Kobe is the most skilled offensive player that’s ever lived, hands-down. Sure a few other players better all around, but not when it comes to scoring the basketball. His O game had no weakness, inside, outside, he owned everybody. RIP Kobe
MAMABA FOREVER!
kobe is michael jordan with a 3 ball
@@SuperTDSmith lol when kobe got hot he was a sniper from 3
Kobe is Kobe ..MJ is MJ both all time Greats but
MJs offensive dominance was unrivaled
@Tim Eskew The eye test shows Kobe is the better 3 point shooter, you're just looking at statistics since it suits your argument, Jordan without the shortened 3 point line shot 28.8 3P%, watch the games, very poor 3 point shooter.
@@dynamic6645 you telling others to watch games when you obviously was not alive to watch Jordan live is hypocritical
When you compare the 2, you’ll see that Kobe has an edge because he played longer in the NBA. MJ’s first 2 retirements, he retired on top coming off 2 3-peat championships. I can only imagine what his numbers would’ve been had he not retired. MJ made an immediate impact coming off a gold medal win in the 1984 Olympics and got the attention of the greats, Bird & Magic. I respect Kobe’s game, but head to head, in their prime, I have MJ all day.
I have Kobe over MJ, the second string of championships for Kobe was near the end of his prime. It would have been amazing had he had a team during the 2004-2007 years. MJ had the benefit of playing with the same players for multiple years and was not as injury proned, so he had the better career per the media.
@@eddiepalmer9543 Please. Give MJ a prime Shaq his first 9 years and he would have had at least 6 chips. within those years. MJ also would have never shit the bed against Detroit like Kobe did in 04.
@@xaviervega468 nah kobe would have had 7 or 8 rings had Shaq stayed in shape lol
@@eddiepalmer9543 Shaq did his part against Detroit, Kobe was the one that shit the bed that series. Jordan would never.
@@xaviervega468 there you go! I try to explain but some people don’t listen. Thank you for breaking it down LOL!
would have loved to hear some of his stories. RIP Kobe
RIP Kobe 🙏
RIP KOBE I WAS AN IVERSON FAN UNTIL 02 the year they lost in the finals NEVER MISSED A GAME 82 POINTS 12threes 9-9 before a miss THe wizards game THE DALLAS GAME I SEEN EM ALL RIP KOBE
I always wonder if Kobe and Jordan ever had a one on one game. Its like Rocky vs Apollo with no audience off the record.
Mike would steal his food and eat it right in front of him. No contest. Once Mike gets one stop - which he would - it’s a wrap.
Mike would have an easier time stopping Kobe than Kobe would him. The one edge Kobe might have is his ability to hit tough shots.
Preach
Shaq summed it up for me no longer will debate who number 1 is u mamba I love the game but the way he loves it we will never feel
Kobe was MJ without the word-class D and paint game.
That's saying A LOT.
Mad respect and RIP.
That’s the respect Bryant have.. the GOAT has spoken.
And yet, Kobe was always humble. He always said that Michael Jordan is the GOAT.
That's why Kobe is the best player ever
Kobe took what Jordan was and carried it for future generations. The most skilled player ever. Jordan mastered his career, kobe mastered the game, just my opinion. I have kobe and Jordan 1a,1b all time. Kobe deserves to be in the conversation of goat to. He has earned the right to be in it.
Sean David. Your avatar is my favorite.
🐐
5 seconds in and it is enough!
Rest in Peace #8#24
The most complete player man that footwork is crazy, but I understand they can never say he’s the goat because he came right after MJ and he destroyed the idea of what most people assumed that MJ wouldn’t have someone so similar in the next 50 years
Like jordan is the greatest of his era not of all time nobody's the greatest of all time of no sport
This.
Greatest Of Their Era.
GOTE.
Wrong! Jordan is the G.O.A.T!
@@DjJokerr GOAT as: Guy's Overrated And Trash LOL
@@dynamic6645 Says the 10 year old that never seen Jordan play, and only watched few highlights on CZcams. Kobe is overrated trash, Jordan wanna be, ball hugger, and still has the record for most airballs
You drunk
Kobe 💜Kobe💛Kobe
Man thanks for the mamba need more
IMHO Kobe is the best basketball player I've ever seen with Jordan and LeBron joint second.I can only judge from 1989 because of my age and despite seeing Videos of most of the all time greats I can only go by what I've seen in my time of watching this brilliant game,4+5 are Magic and bird.
to think that during his prime, he was the most hated player in the league. and the amount of love he has right now. #ripkobe
LLBean 8/24 🐐 81.
KB824ever
I miss you Kobe and gigi 😭😭😭😭😭
Kobe should be the NBA logo, he played in arguably the toughest era of NBA and he was the clear best.
🤣 Toughest era was 80's, and 90's.
@@DjJokerr 80’s was not nearly at tough as the 90’s and 2000’s, look at how many more halo of fame players were in the 90’s and 2000’s. The NBA finals weren’t even broadcast live in the early 80’s and the money and talent weren’t there until later. Most of the greats that were drafted in the 80’s didn’t hit their prime until the 90’s
@@DjJokerr Zones weren't allowed in the 80's and 90's 🤣👌🏻
@@dynamic6645 and today's NBA noone plays defense, and every idiot shoots 3's. You boy LeBron is the king of flopping, and crying on the court.
@@PatrickM-dm6sf The 70s 80s and 90s were tougher defensively than the mid 2000s or now.
The dude won two championships without Shaq, playing in a total of four without the giant. Five titles and a litany of legendary performances.
At one point the media placed Kobe's name against the leagues best during every debate topic. First we had Vince vs Kobe, then that argument changed to AI vs Kobe. Then when Tmac grew into a superstar it was Tmac vs Kobe. Then when the 2003 class came around, it morphed into Wade vs Kobe, and eventually Lebron vs Kobe. And we all know the all-time great debate of who's the best Laker, Magic vs Kobe, along with the GOAT between Michael vs Kobe. Now if you watched basketball during this era you know the media did not create matchup topics with Tmac vs AI, or Vince vs Wade. The ONLY constant was Kobe Bryant. He was the litmus test, and yet the media used his name for headlines while simultaniously disrespecting his name. Read between the lines: Kobe Bean is the greatest basketball player to ever play for these reasons alone.
Also skill. Since kobe was less gifted than most of the other greats, he practically had to play better to be on par...lol it doesn't make sense but it is true if you think about it.
When I used to see Kobe Bryant play yo I'll be like damn he reminds me of Jordan
Out of the two of the, mj and kobe. Kobe had more explosive dunks not just Okey doke dunks like Jordan with his 48" vert. But mj is the greatest.
Jordan was more graceful and powerful.
Kobe was more flamboyant and finesse
@@MoeJaxon brilliant description. But I just hated the commentators hyping up Jordan when alone to the rim and you expect something like a windmill and it's just a 5'8 dunk. Don't get me wrong there was a few times he had some nice ones but not much.
Agreed! Jordan had better lay up finishes and prettier fade always than spectacular dunks! Either way both players are my two favorite players all time
@@MoeJaxon no doubt about mj agility and control in the air for some wicked finishes be it a layup or dunk. Unmatched. I think 85 to 92 was the best of Jordans dunks in game, then just like his sneakers he started to rip us off i.e basic dunks high price and we ate it up.
Nobody is the greatest
What is the beat playing at 1:16?
Kobe stole all of MJ's moves (except for the "hotel strangle")...Kobe even stole his voice, and trainer. Even still, MJ is the GOAT!
Man I would have loved to see Kobe and KG on the same team
That would be unfair 😂
Kobe Bean Bryant . . . the Black Mamba . . . he’s my GOAT.
Rest In Peace Legend.
Peep how Jordan says other than Kobe because Kobe was in his dms for real Kobe was in all the greatest people dms Michael Jackson magic Jerry Jordan Shaq
Kobe Bryant was the only other NBA player with a skill set win at all cost mentality play offense defense take over games was scared of no one and intimidated everybody... Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant
3:59 is an example of Responding like Mike after a shot.
RIP Mamba.
Oh god the day is approaching in 2 weeks or so....
I get a funny feeling every time I drive pass that freeway exit.
Kobe Bryant's coach Phil Jackson was on the court playing in another legendary game. During the 1970s, Phil Jackson was a Forward for the New York Knicks. One night, the greatest scoring performance by a white guy ever happened. In Madison square garden, Pete maravich dropped like 69 points.
Years later he got the coach Michael Jordan, when Michael was doing similar things.... And then he got Kobe. That coach was the luckiest guy.,..
i love the channel and i loved kobe, he was and is my favorite player, mj is the greatest though. but i think you misunderstood mj on that, i don't think he thinks kobe would beat him but that kobe could beat him. like it's possible but not probable. i don't think he thinks that way about any other player though
Paul Pierce always looks like he just woke up LOL
Kobe is the GOAT
Not from the USA but love the NBA my favs all time are 1. Chamberlin 2. Kobe, hit like if u agree
Kobe is the new NBA logo
Him passing is like Michael Jackson passing away
Kobe was MJ only because MJ had passed Magic and Bird as the best. MJ cared what was said, and felt a close connection to Bird and Magic who, unlike almost everyone else then, openly praised MJ and didn’t pretend they had beat him for any reason other than having the better team.
Kobe cared only to do Kobe and he was different. He’s not definable by analytics or numbers and he seemed to intentionally make it hard just to see if he could pull it off. That made him the most incredible and emotionally amazing player to watch and, at the same time, despised by purists. Kobe was simply different. If you lived him from day one in Los Angeles you just couldn’t explain. You didn’t get it.
Then he died, the world reacted, and Jordan openly broke giving his eulogy. Turned out we were wrong. People did.
Mj, Kobe, LBJ
Closest thing to MJ.... RIP
For some reason the Cherelle song doesn’t get old
6:29 for a second or two I thought this was an animation
Coach Phil Jackson in an interview said MJ would beat Kobe because of his hand size and how he could control the ball. He coached both of them. You can’t forget something like that and then make a video saying this. We all respect Kobe but Jordan is the goat! Kobe in my opinion is #2 all time!
Mj not the goat kobe not the goat lebron is not no player is no such thing in no sport
I take MJ of Phils word, MJ had bigger hands but Kobe had longer range and could easily drain 3s over MJ of he wanted to.
My top 5
1. MJ
2. Kareem
3. Kobe
4. Magic
5. Bird/Bron
