If you take Kobe off those laker teams after shaq & before gasol, they would be the worst team in the NBA
If you put prime lebron, they'd got to the western conference finals

They were damn near the worst team in the NBA with Kobe in those years.
He still quit

Reminder that despite only having 1 point in the second half of game 7... kobe still averaged 34 on 56% from the field and 50% from 3 in those final 3 losses.
Joker averaged great numbers against warriors but in the time when it mattered the most, he had turnover or he didn't take shots. so averages doesn't necessarily imply that you played great enough to win the series. As Chris Webber says you gotta run through the tape. You can't play 3 qtrs of great basketball and throw in the towel in the 4th.
@@milan33331 youâre calling two bad plays throwing in the towel in the fourth? holy casual
@@OGSVN my bad. Not throw the towel but definitely not playing great also
@@milan33331 what a bunch of nonsense, wow I am astonished
@@milan33331 joker is overrated just another stat padder
The key barometer of the series was when Shawn Marion wasn't in foul trouble the Suns won. When he was in foul trouble the Lakers won because Marion's energy and rebounding was essential to the Suns offense without the rebounds they can't control the pace.
Odom v Marion was primetime entertainment, 2 of of my all-time favorite players... fax!!!
Biggest flex here is Marion had a shooting form of a player with a broken arm
Marion outplayed Odom and made the clutch offensive rebound over Odom that saved the Suns season in game 6.

Kenny was spot on with that comment.. Kobe was def in a weird place back then
Nah he was smug like Kyrie. Thats why they hated him back then
kobe passed all the time, they couldnt hit a basket at all.. He passed often they would pass again or miss they shot
Itâs not that he passed too much. He gave up. You can get your teammates involved and still score to get your shots. He did not want to shoot.
@@KinGAdil019
Yep. Kobe was a great and may he RIP. But he didnât shoot at all because he was being petty.

Nah. I remember ESPN (especially Mark Jackson) comparing him to Jordan so much during this time bc of his scoring exploits. For some reason, people only think the media decided to make Jordan and LeBron comparisons w/in the last 5 years. Kobe got a ton of love during this period but Kobe stans make him look like the most hated player to make up for his lack of MVPs.
Kobe had trash ass teams he'd easily win 7-8 easy he got his teammates easy shots they just sucked
I agree but I also can call a spade a spade and Kobe didn't lead his team the right way by not shooting the ball in that game 7, he should have stuck to the plan, he let the media and other people get into his head...he had a chance to advance and chose to fall back...he obviously matured after that with the addition of players who could play but he should have never listened to the outside noise , he could have won that series

Kobe was right about everything but only thing he was missing here is Leadership and soon as he picked that up with legit 2nd option Gasol, we all know what happend
Kobe always was a great leader long before Pau Gasol ever walked into the Lakers franchise. It's not like Kobe one day magically figured out how to lead his team. He led those teams from 2005-2007 the best he could. It's not his fault they didn't perform or get better as players.

@@zobikuzdle3983 But most of those key role players (Odom, Walton, Vujecic, Farmar) from the back to back championship were on that 06 team so it was two way that they also had to grow together so that he would be a better leader.
That's one thing Kobe never lacked was leadership... Kobe got gassed because he played both sides of the court.. That team couldn't score
He dropped 23 points on 8-13 in the first half and they were already getting blown out. This coming after they were one defensive rebound away from putting the series away in game 6 when he dropped 50. What more could he have done? That Lakers team had no business even being in a position to win the series.

3 shots in the 2nd half that's obviously done out of spite
Kenny Smith was spot on, Kobe couldnât do anything without always being foolishly criticized. Kobe was one of the greatest teammates in basketball history, but the media always found a way to portray him as being selfish đ€Šđœââïž
Kobe was one of the worst teammates in basketball history and he was one of the most selfish and delusional people ever to play pro sports.

Ppl really believe Kobe cussed out Charles for 3 hours Lol more like 5 minutes that felt like 3 hours!
Chuck was right and that's why Kobe got mad and came on the show because he was being sensitive about Chuck telling the truth and exposing him just like when Chuck told the truth about LeBron and said he didn't want to compete and wanted to play with everybody. Everybody loves Chuck for being brutally honest until he's brutally honest about their favorite player then he's just totally wrong and is a hating ringless old fuddy-duddy.
I don't hate him and was glad kobe went in and cleared the air instead of passive aggressively being angry
@Stone Colds lol
Fast forward to 2008- 2009-2010 the sun's didn't have shit on Kobe
the sun's didn't have the same team neither
Ya that was the Suns final push at a championship
Kobe beat them one time in 2010, thatâs it. Suns beat the lakers so bad two years in a row that Kobe requested a trade
Kobe was catching heat this series because they said he was shooting too much but he was the ONLY reason they had a 3-1 lead.. and they nearly won they lost on a buzzer beater..

Kobe let the media get to him and Charles was wrong they didnât play very well at all and Kenny was right thatâs exactly what happened itâs damned if you do and damned if you donât
NBA is scripted
Exactly..
Barkely literally contradicted himself.. First he said Kobe was selfish by not shooting
Then he turns around and say they should pound it inside because thats the suns weakness and that's exactly what Kobe was doing..
On top of that he said Kobe averaged 44ppg doing the regular season against the suns and they still loss
I watched that game live and I was shocked that Chuck said the same thing I thought Kobe did give up on his team because they were getting blown out and that was bad leadership. I like Kobe but I'm not going to act like everything he ever did was correct. Chuck was also right when he said LeBron didn't want to compete and just like LeBron got sensitive about that Kobe got sensitive about this. Everybody loves Chuck for telling the truth until he tells the truth about their favorite player. The Suns shouldn't have let it get to a game 7 in the first place.
You know whatâs funny is you donât know the rest of the story or you wouldnât say Kobe was right. After Kobe spent 3 hours cussing out Chuck via text. A few days later after heâd had time to calm down and think about things He told Chuck that what he said was right and He (Kobe) was wrong. Chuck told him thatâs ok man you were wrong taht night but you usually are right, donât sweat it. So Kobe admitted he was wrong.

For Kobe to make the 7th seed in the compacted West with the weakest team any Superstar has ever played with. Take the team with the 2nd best record in NBA that year to 7 gms by himself was extraordinary!!! #8/24 đ

@@nbatalk714 So what could have he done better in the Game 6 where if his teammate would have rebounded the ball he wouldâve shocked the world by beating Phoenix in 6 with a subpar team?
Why did you put a goat on the comment after talking about Kobe?
I get it but want AI did taking Philly to the finals with the team he had and MJ in 88 taking the Bulls to the Eastern conference with a rookie Scottie pippen and Dirk winning it with the team he had no disrespect to Jason Terry and them but I dont think we will ever see stuff like that again it does show that players coming into the league now are day are getting better and better
Definitely not the weakest team to do that. They also was up 3-1 on the suns
So weird seeing these guys so much younger. Where do the years go?
For real. Kenny smith look crazy old now
Classic, this was one of my most memorable season and when if first started watching inside the NBA
Didnât realize these three(Chuck, Kenny, and Ernie) have been together since 2006!! Legends
2000 guy
Dude made 8 shots, and scored 24 pointsâŠ
Thatâs crazy.
Im a kobe fan but if you watch the way kobe is passing hes clearly sabotaging the game. His passes are effortless,creates no momentum, and he just stands there not moving and crowding the receiver, basically do bare minimum to purposely put his teammates in bad shooting positions so he can look innocent. But having dine things like this myself its obvious what Kobe was doing. Be honost guys!
Finally an objective Kobe fan
The Lakers fans were booing him in game 6 for scoring 50 points. They were calling him a ball hog. In game 7 he scored 24 points in the first half. The fans were still booing him. When he came out the second half he didn't shoot he just passed it off to show the spectators the that without him scoring they didn't have a chance because there was no one else on the team that could score. He was sending a message to the fans that he plays the way he plays because he's the one carrying the team. Without him the team was garbage. As we witnessed
@@eastcoyote7355 I honestly didn't know that. I followed basketball heavy during this time in my early teen years, but didn't have cable tv to watch . I only saw daily highlights. If what you said is true then I understand kobe
Wow classic!!!!!! Miss those NBA days and Kobe
Itâs pretty easy to forget now that Kobe was the one the media would try to pile on at every turn like they do any other star player. Damned if you do, damned if you donât.
They do it to all the great ones. Magic, Michael, Kobe and now Lebron

Barkley always keeps it real. He don't give a damn what the fanboys think.
Kobe played both sides of the ball as good as anyone. 9 time First Team All Defensive tied with Jordan, Garnett and Payton, and 3 All Defensive Second team. 12 altogether tied with Garnett. He was not just an offensive player. How many "scorers" also play defensive? He was always asking Payton about how to better his defense.
Blew a 3-1 didnt score in the second half đ§
@@nbatalk714 Pause. He was 8/13 in the first half while the rest of his team shot 9/30 while being down by 15. So Kobe only takes 3 shots while the rest of his team shoots 15/45 and somehow Itâs still his fault?

It doesn't matter what the media is saying, if your team is winning bc you're scoring, then that's what you have to do. Kobe stopped playing his game and they lost Game 7. If a certain player were to only shoot 3x in the second half of a Game 7 and lost, you know you'd never hear the end of it.

Where's the part where he said Kobe cussed him out đ€
It was mentioned when Kobe went on the show a couple days later.
Wow... Kobe loses with Kwame and Smush and hes not a leader, Lebron loses with wade, kyrie and AD and westbrook and its everyone elses fault. The jealousy and hate was real...
Man get out of here. Lebron in 2007 had the same talent that Kobe had back than and carried bums to the finals, and was still blame when they lost to the spurs. Lebron from 2003-2010 had to deal with weak ass teams as well.
Lebron lives rent free in y'all heads I swear đđđ
Facts i ainât no real leader
@@ChrisGTV23 the East was literal garbage back then. The west won majority of the championships back then for a reason. Tougher conference
@@DeeNice323 Lmaooo here we go with the east was weak shit. It ainât Lebron fault that he wasnât in the west during that time. The fact of the matter is, that 2007 cavs team shouldnât have been in the finals period, yet they was there. Take Lebron off that Cavs team, and the Cavs would be the lowest seed in the east. So again, Lebron carried bums to the finals. Both Lebron and Kobe was dealt a bad hand, yet they both over came it and carried there teams to the playoffs and finals.
MJ would have said fuck the game plan and take matters into his own hands every game. I love Kobe but he was wrong for this.
Chuck was right. Kobe was in full pout mode
Oh So this is where LBJ got it from. I seen James do this very thing so many times throughout his career. He'd just pass, not shoot, when the game is over he'd talk about how he'd tried to get his teammates involved so he won't take the blame for a loss.
Bron passes to open shooters all the time. Kobe never was that type of player, which is why the 2nd half of this game was odd.
@@sanantoballa4834 to prove a point boys. He had a complete shit team, he literally willed that team to the playoffs and got them up 3-1. Man had no help. Media complained that he was a ball hog and didn't pass. So second half he proved apoint to where the team cant do shit without him and decided to mainly only pass. If you are winning beacuse you are being ball dominate and willing your team to win. That is the only option? You have to do it. The media always hated Kobe.
He was being double teamed and passed to an open shot that the teammates kept missing đ
Wow even though I was born in 03, I never knew Inside The NBA did gone fishing for as long as they have. 11:41

Barkley use to bully Patrick Ewing on block and other great power forwards and centers back then... And he could get BUCKETS!!!
With looking at the plays from the 2:28-3:13 mark, I donât see how Kobe quit. Maybe Kobe couldâve been more active off the ball by moving without the ball or cutting.
But if Kobe is moving without the ball, it would make Kobeâs teammates want to pass the ball to him even more which would be against Philâs strategy of the offense not being ran solely on Kobe in the second half. Kobe moving without the ball is a signifier of trying to get open or a way to attempt a shot & thatâs not what Phill wanted. Phil wanted Kobe to pass the rock & have his teammates create for themselves cause it would entice his teammates to play better defense if their were more involved in the offense.
Kobe was not distorting the spacing by being out of the play. Itâs not like what Harden did in HOU standing around near halfcourt when heâs out of the play. Kobe was just standing at the top of the 3 close to the proximity of where his teammates operated.
Even with Kobe standing around not being directly involved in the offense, Kobe was calling plays where he brought the ball up as the PG & Kobe pointed to his teammates where to be or pass to when he was off the ball. Kobe communicating to his teammates on where to be & where to score shows he was involved in the plays.
Kobe was trying to be a decoy because Kobe didnât want the Suns defensive attention on him due to what Phil wanted from him. Kobe is so polarizing, no matter what you say, people will be convinced Kobe quit when itâs far from the case. You can see Kobe didnât quit just by the film. People think if you not running around a bunch of screens like Curry your selfish & your just wrong about that. Fans need to understand the game of bball before u start projecting certain false narratives or taking fiction as facts
His energy looks as if itâs the 1st quarter. Meanwhile itâs the 4th and theyâre down by 20. Clearly being a decoy wasnât working.
@@sanantoballa4834 Kobe is damn if he does, damn if he doesnât. Kobe wasnât standing around mindlessly. He was constantly pointing to his teammates where to pass the ball to. If you watch the series Kobe wasnât that aggressive shooting the ball when his team was up 3-1 in the series.
When Kobe made the GW in Game 4, Kobe only took 14 shots & that game went to OT. The Lakers went up 3-1 with Kobe playing team ball & barely shot the ball on high volume. Game 5 the Suns adjusted to Lakers gameplan of Kobe shooting & scoring the ball only occasionally & the Suns blew the Lakers out. So Kobe try to counter the strategy the Suns were doing by being aggressive scoring 50 & they lost. The media criticized Kobe for being so aggressive that Game 6. And Kobe was aggressive in the first half of Game 7 & the Lakers were getting blown out. In the second half, Kobe went back to the gameplan that got his team up 3-1 but it didnât matter.
Blame Kobe for the 04 Finals, the 08 Finals, 2011 playoffs vs the Mavs or 2012 playoffs vs OKC but blaming Kobe for the 06 lost to the Suns is so unfair. That Lakers wasnât even a good team like that & itâs a miracle that the team even went up 3-1 against a good PHX team. Kobe did his job as a team player but he gets criticized for it. It wonât matter if Kobe eventually try to be more aggressive in the second half of Game 7, it still wouldnât work, the Suns were just a better team
yes, this game was different from the sacramento game where kob didn't shoot because he was being petulant, he was engaged
@@jespacey What Sacramento game are you referring to?
Damn, it's crazy they've been doing it this long
Kobe was so fucking good and resilient and smart
Idk if I can agree with Chuck. I rewatched that game a few weeks ago and the Lakers started that game horrible. They were missing layups, they were missing wide open shots, they were fumbling the ball instead of finishing at the rim. This game was over basically in the 1st qtr. Yea Kobe came out and hit some shots in the first half, but the rest of the team didnât have it and he saw that. If Kobe wouldâve went out there and scored 50 then they wouldâve lost by 20 instead of 31. But idk I guess it was worth a shot to try lol. But one thing someone put me up on was every time Kobeâs team lost the final game in a series, knocking them out of the playoffs for some reason they always get blown tf out!
Kobe scored 50 in game six, the Lakers could not get one rebound and Tim T. hit the 3 to tie the game. They had to win game 6, was not going to win game 7. Tbh they should of never been up 3-1 in the first place, but Kobeâs greatest is the reason why. Put Steve Nash on Lakers and Kobe on the Suns, Suns with Kobe would sweep Lakers with Nash. And put LBJ on this Lakers team and they would not even make the playoffs.
Exactly. No version of Lebron would've took that Laker team to the playoffs.
đđđ gotta mention bron cause kobe failed thats sad .. kobe blew a 3-1 passed the ball more than bron ever did in a game that was needed lol
@@nbatalk714 I mentioned LBJ so you could get in your feelings and you did. Like I said Kobe was proving a point. When he was shooting 36 or 35 shots prior to game 7 he was a ball hog. So he was damned if he do damned if he donât to me that seems like hate by media and haters. The fact that he was up 3-1 on the Suns with the team he had is remarkable. Like I said LBJ on that team he gets swept same thing had Kobe and Nash switched teams Nash on the Lakers would get swept too. Get out your feelings. Game 6 Kobe dropped 50 played great enough to win but came up one rebound short and Tim T. hit the 3 to tie the game. The Lakers needed to win game 6 at home to win that series cuZ Kobe and the Lakers was not winning game 7. So again media and haterâs was saying he was a ball hog but they was winning and Kobe needed to be a ball hog but he proved his point. Just imagine Kobe on the 2007 Cleveland team that was number one in defense, Kobe would of loved playing with a number 1 defense team and he could shoot as many timeâs and the team still playing defense. Kobe on that 2007 Cavs beats the Spurs in the finals definitely would not get swept by the Spurs Kobe owned the Spurs.
@@nbatalk714 remember what Kobe did to the Suns in 2010? Those shots that he hit at the end cold blooded killer. And he won the chip that year with a broken trigger finger and bone spur in his ankle.

@@kendallthomas6807 I want for him to do what works and the gameplan obviously wasn't working and he needed to make a change cause he's the star player. When they lose he gets the blame rightfully so because he's that great
now we all know who was right.
Kobe was the most hated playing damn near in NBA history⊠listen to Chuck literally say no matter what Kobe was going to be criticized for his efforts.
No he wasn't stop lying
That was Kenny who said that
Steve Nash with the drip. Literally
This is another reason why he is the greatest.
How do you defend Kobe losing 3-1? He has to close that deal.
Raja Bell always thought of himself of one of those guys like Artest, Bowen, or Battier. He was not lmao just a dirty player who Kobe was not fazed by
11:12 when EJ Neat-O stat of the night actually have a stat.
You mean Kobe Bryant was not a basketball Saint and could never do any wrong on the basketball court?!?!?!? Wowwww đ đ€Łđ
Imagine if lebron called Barkley to complain about him criticizing him, heâd get killed for itâŠ.
Lebron would tweet about it⊠not call him đ€·đŸââïž
@@ronnybueller twitter didnât exist back then, so we donât know if Kobe would of done the sameâŠKobe used to see him and shaq and Phil would go at it through the media, just Imagine if social media would of existed back then, they would of been posting stuff all the timeâŠ
Bro why yâall always bringing lebron into some shit? Like damn yâall stay on folks dick
He did a couple years ago so u donât gotta imagine
@@terryalan4590 twitter launches the same year
This video makes me feel so damn old lol their faces and wardrobes
The fact that Laker team made it that far was an achievement.
Kobe finished with 24 points in this game 7, I think this was intentional Because he switched to number 24 the next season, this was his last game wearing number 8. He knew what he was doing but passing the whole second half once he got 24 points lol đ đ
I was thinking that soon as I saw his points and he scored 8 shots or made 8 shots đ€ scored 16
@@KaleoKognito LMAO. Y'all Kobetard's are ridiculous
That's the difference between kobe and jordan...jordan wouldn't of listen. Jordans first 6 or so years he was called a ball hog and he wouldn't win with that style of play.. phil ask jordan just to trust his teammates alittle more they went over flim, then the rest is history.
Jordan was still ball dominant and won his way..if you want to shut people up just win..
Kobe won 2 more & between that and Shaq leaving, none of Kobe's teammates were anywhere close to Scottie...
He didnt win his way lmfao. They won in the triangle and his teammates even have legendary historic shots as a result. Kerr literally hit a game winner in the playoffs for them. He did it the right way not his way.
@@EddiePReacts lol...jordan broke the triangle the all the time.
@@mullymullyt bron would have beat this suns team with the same team kobe had here
@@solidsnake8331 in the tough western conference back then hell no. Lmao he canât even make the playoffs now in this western conference is weaker than what Kobe was up against back then.
Kobe vs Shaq would have been epic
key point dont change who you are. be kobe no matter what.
Like Detroit series he knew he wasnât going to beat them but kept playing like he was
Yep hating on Shaq winning another Finals MVP
Barkley is 100% right! Anyone who disagrees with what he says and tries to make excuses for Kobe, has ZERO CREDIBILITY!! Kobe is great, he moved on and learned from it.
yes!
Barkley contradicted himself...
I'm always down for unfiltered honesty but not when you contradict yourself
Lakers fans were booing and chanting "kobe sucks" while he scored 50 points in game 6. In game 7 kobe had score 24 points in the first half on his way to another 50 point game. But the fans were still booing him because they were calling him a ball hog. Kobe takes note of it and signify to the fans ' I hear ya' . In the second he doesn't shoot the ball instead he paases off the ball the whole second half. He was sending a message to the fans that that if he doesn't score the lakers dont have a chance of winning. The lakers didnt have any other player that could score so he gave the fans what the fans wanted that kobe stop hogging the ball and pass it to other guys to score. But as it turned out the lakers team got blown away and out of playoffs. The lakers were garbage witout kobe . Thats essentially what happened. Kobe was carrying the team all by himself and fans thought he was ball hog
Every time Kobe gave the ball up those were good ass looks. His teammates just failed to connect
Let LeBron do sum like this and he'll be slandered to oblivion
Facts
Be quiet stans
Kobe flat out quit. No excuse for that man.
He was a ballhog right? So he passed..yall score without me. Who else was gonna lead that lakers team?
@@dickhardpicard He hurt himself and his team. It was stupid. Another reason why Jordan was superior. RIP Kobe but why purposely not try to win?
@@mikebuckets so no matter what he did he was still hated got it
@Stone Colds more Allstars played with lebron...also had more help in a weaker eastern conference for years but still have less rings...
@Stone Colds
Wow
I remember watching this series I thought the lakers had it when they were up 3-1
How does Chuck call Kobe selfish for shooting three shots in the second half but also in the same segment he points out how the Lakers got destroyed by Phoenix in the regular season despite Kobe averaging 44 points. So even if he goes off for 40 or 50, the Lakers are so bad and Phoenix is so good and uptempo, they can't beat them.
Legacy tarnished?
He repeated, friend
@@DjTIMEJD OK?
@@nbatalk714 without Shaq too, friend.
@@DjTIMEJD OK? I kno a player who got 4 finals mvps and is in his 19th season and they talkin bout his legacy is tarnished.. kobe was in his prime wen this happen and nobody wants to talk about it

@Kwame Nkrumah Oh change the criteria lol
@Kwame Nkrumah Lol argue and agree with ur self?
this man a female
You act like no one criticizes LeBron. You went out of your way to mention him in a video that he isnât in. Stop reaching. RIP Kobe
Who was the Lakers center that year?
Hippie hair Steve Nash vs Nets coach Steve Nash. Funny to see
Kwame BrownâŠâŠ.. nuff said
Nah
Smush Parker, Aaron Mckie, Luke Walton, Brian Cook, Sasha Vujacic, Devan George, Ronnie Turiaf. THEY SHOULDNT EVEN SMELL THE PLAYOFFS LET ALONE GO UP 3-1 but KOBE BRYANT PLAYED DEFENSE CLEANED THE GLASS AND SHOT THIS TEAM THERE
That was thee low point in Kobe's career. I don't know what that was. But it was intentionally done. And no Kobe fanatic can cover that.
We know why it was intentionally done cause he had a point to prove and he did.
And? Lol Kobe let em know yall suck and cant win without me if I get yall looks and he was right. Lakers were ass during this time
@@ronnybueller He did proof his point
Donât forget wetting bed against Det to stop Shaq winning another finals mvp
watch the whole series again without narrative bias
damn they was on this show for this long ? definitely didnât know that
You must be 10
10:49 Chuck vs very wrong about that prediction
Kobe absolutely quit on his team in this series.
even the postgame comments sound like heâs not bought in
He didnât quit in the series. He quit after the series, big difference.
@@MasterRoshiSama no he quit on his team. He sent a message to the organization and they responded with getting Pau and two titles.
Really?đ€Łđ€Łlook at his average in this seriesđ€Ł
27.9 pts.... Quitting? Riiiiggghhhhtttt
Plain and simple....Kobe stopped playing. Tell me any other time you ever seen him that passive in his career? Hasn't happened because everybody said it. I like Kobe, but he just was not playing his game in the second half.
Media used to ask better basketball questions back in the day.
Chuck said Shaq wasnât gonna get passed Detroit Shaq wins a championship lol
