- (2003) Kobe scored 40pts vs the Jazz - his 7th straight game with at least 40pts and 11th straight with 35pts (breaking Michael Jordan's record). MVP chants!!
Date: February 19th, 2003
Results: L.A won 93 - 87
Stats: 40pts on 15/29 shooting incl 4/6 from 3pt range, 6rbds
Peach: Despite a double overtime game the night before and some knee problems, Kobe was hot early, hitting his first 6 shots. Even though he's been limited in the 2nd half like the entire Lakers team, he managed to hit 3 big shots in the final finutes to give L.A a precious road victory. Kobe became the only player with Chamberlain to record at least 11th straight games with 35pts.
Quote: "When you get in tough situations, he knows how to make tough shots. He's a terrific shooter. This guy is as good as there is in the game right know on the short clock."
Jerry Sloan, coach of the Jazz
Anecdote: On the free thrown line with 8 seconds to go, Kobe scored point n°40 while Salt Lake City fans cheering him, chanting "Kobe" & "MVP"!

that move 4:28 is increadible.Seriously man. That move only can made by kobe and jordan.This is REAL FOOT WORK
Just flawless offense...beautiful footwork...watching Kobe is like looking at art at it's finest.
Stats doesn't matters. Greatness does.
KOBE SHOULDVE WON MVP IN THIS YEAR!!! (2003)
4:30 to 4:37. STILL one of the best moves I've ever seen
1:19 is one of my fave Kobe 3's ever. so sick
Kobe is a machine.Unique, much hated and underrated.
People forget how good Kobe was in his prime...
People be really hating on kobe greatness best difficult shot maker ever. Arguably in the convo of best player ever.
seriously...........thats insanity!!! those stats are incredible in his prime he couldnt be stopped
one of my fave kobe games
you can tell kobe was motivated in this game he payed them back for those air balls he put up back in his first couple seasons
Those moves at 4:30 to 4:40 were absolutely ridiculous
Not even a single layup was attempted (or at least shown in this vid) Kobe has the best mid game in the league.
if kobe had a contending team in 05-06-07, i would think he would have 7-8 rings now, plus he would have destroyed everybody in the playoffs and finals.
if he had that caliber team in those days, i think alot of people would consider him to be the goat
soo true.. his body control on that shot was amazing
iz amazing how many yrs kobe have battled in the league...He played jordan and pippen, malone and stockton, iverson, vc, tmac, and now wade, lebron, durant...definitely player of the century!
What's crazy is that the Jazz played some top notch defense on most of these shots. Damn these were some tough shots!
Real sick man ! It's probably the best basketball move I have ever seen in my entire life !!
When you break jordans record greatness
Whats incredible about this game is every shot was a jumpshot. Simply amazing.
never play defense? You have never seen kobe play he has highlights of lock down defense of all allstars in the legue he is the best defender if not second please make another argument!
4:30 is just ridiculous..this is why #8 is my favorite Kobe his moves were too smooth
Kobe is already top 5, One more ring or 2 and he will go down as the second best to ever do it
Kobe is kobe, MJ is MJ, kobe is making his own legend now at this point just like MJ did
i wonder how the nba would be like if lebron and durant werent in the nba..
kobe is too much of a beast. even today
Holy shit. Those stats are insane! How the hell does he only have 1 MVP?
few people know that he leads the lakers in assist every season,except those of gary payton era in lakers and one time odom..but the rest of the deacade,kobe leads them..
Kobe stayed classy at the end.
Man I like the home jerseys of the Utah Jazz... Kobe though...
Kobes one of the greatest to ever play the game. At the end of his career, u never know; he might be the best to ever play. 4:35 is what u call foot work! Damn!!!
much love... kobe the best
Just a little context in this game. This game was the second of a back to back. The first game was against the Rockets that went into double overtime, it was the game where Kobe gave Yao Ming the facial.
41%, 1 Finals MVP in 6 Finals appearances (31 games).
Those stats in the beginning are fucking insane.
Nigga got robbed for the MVP award in 03 and 06...
kobe still has a long way to go to be like jordan
in that game, ALMOST EVERYBODY was shooting as bad as kobe was. Ray allen was like 3/15? maybe only ron artest had an efficient game
Kobe's Shot looks so uncontrolled. But it's effective..
47% 3 Pointers is just godly!
Wilt played against many 6'11-7'0... Back then, they also list the actual heights of NBA players. (Now, most of the time, it's 2/3 inches more than actual)
Wilt Chamberlain was an amazing player...
Kobe was the last Real basketball.This guy is easily a Top five.
i still dont understnd how kobe only has one mvp ?!?! Am i the only one
2003 colorado situation
media doesnt like kobe
In my opinion Kobe's still in the best top 3 players in the NBA right now behind LBJ and KD.
He was the same player then and the same players now, "All I really care about now is winning ball games, when I retire then I can look back and admire."
@spiidey1 nba finals is a seven game series , so.if your talking about hes shooting 6/24 in game 7 is kinda idiot, he had good stats in that series and hes playin through pain (injuries). my question is can lebron do that?
11 straight games with 35+ i give him props for that.
But he'll never have 37 games with 40+ points in a season like Jordan did
jesus christ, kobes jumper is deadly
3:26 Those Jazz fans have no idea
To be the best you have to be like the best, so Kobe game is like MJ. Yoy have to give the man credit and the props he deserves, he's a Great ball player and is as good at making points as MJ was!!
those stats at the start are amazing !!!! you cant compare anything to this not jordan and for the love of god not james ... and the shots kobe was taking were by far the most dificult that anyone could make in the history of nba
jordan is the best no one has ever hit more clutch shots no one has ever won more scoring titles .
when kobe wins 2 more world titles wins another gold meadel and 4 more mvps then you will have an arguement until then mike is still the best.
dude he was a rookie...look at him now. flawless
i will never say Kobe is better than the GOAT Michael Jordan, but Kobe does have a better long range jumper than MJ; and that move that Kobe did during the 4:30-4:38 mark is totally mind-boggling, WOWZERS
Considering circumstances Kobe still has along way to catch up.
Shaq vs Kobe in '02:
Shaq vs Kobe in '02 Regular season:
Shaq 27.2 ppg 10.7 rpg 3 apg
Kobe 25.2 ppg 5.5 rpg 5.5 apg
Shaq vs Kobe in '02 Finals:
Shaq 36.3 ppg 12.3 rpg 3.8 apg ('02 Finals MVP)
Kobe 26.8 ppg 5.8 rpg 5.3 apg
Before you make comments about stats, make sure you do your research.
Kobe Is GOAT
dude look at that stat line-up in the last 10 games:
43 ppg
50% fg
47% 3fg
12.5% ft att.
thats fucking insane numbers.
I didn't say he was better than Jordan, I didn't even come close to even trying to say that. Kobe isn't better. But when Kobe retires, it'll be a good discussion...there's no denying that. Remember, mj started cementing his legacy at 30. All of his rings were after the age of of 30. Kobe turns 31 this august, he's got plenty of time to win more rings and possibly become greater than mj. But right now, mj is on top. That dude was a beast...
he also has more 50+ pts games in row simply the Best
kobe bryant has accomplished just as much as mj did and the end of his career only except kobe still has more years left in him im 100% sure kobe is going to finish his career with more rings then mj hes broken several of mjs records at the beginning and broken more since haters get over it kobe is great and hes the best active nba player look at the number and look at the sats when hes retitred they wont lie
@mjordanisnumber1 You're right. Kobe began his "playing" career at 18. He averaged 15 ppg his 2nd season after averaging only 7 ppg in his 1st.
@movalcadillac I appreciate that you actually took the time to read my comments, from where you started I didn't think you'd be receptive. But I must shed a little more light on these vintage centers before you fall into another false preconcieved notion. Bill Russell, and Wilt Chamberlain both ran the 1/4 mile in 49.0 flat. That is no less incredible today as it was back then. Bill Russell was ranked #7 in the WORLD for High Jump in 1954, and Wilt won the Big 8 NCAA high-jump 3 years in a row.
@CaveKanem Kobe was only 17 when he was drafted by the Hornets and traded to the Lakers (his parents had to sign his contract). He'd turned 18 by the time the saeson began.
look at the stats at the very start of the video
UNSTOPPABLE
@CaveKanem No stupid, he started his career at 18. When he came of the bench his second year, he avg'd 17 pts. A good headstart compared to most who stayed in college at least until their junior year.
Shaq averaged more ppg than Kobe, won 1 MVP and all 3 Finals MVP's. Kobe was a sidekick.
and he is still good...
Kobe was a great player back then but he was a sidekick which is why he never won 1 MVP or Finals MVP when Shaq was here.
@ghiblix2 What areas has Kobe surpassed Jordan, If you would let me know that would be great. Thanks!
i hate it when people are like, "Kobe is great, but MJ is the GOAT" and then they have the nerve to say "no comparisons!"
by saying that you just made a comparison!!! ugh, i hate people sometimes...
anyways they both dominate their respective eras, and they are 2 of the greatest players of all time, that's it.
no more "so and so is better than..."!!!
agreed!
LOL that they completely ignore Wilt Chamberlain from the record books which he owns. The REAL NBA Record - Most Consecutive 40 Point Games (14 times from December 8, 1961-December 30, 1961 and January 11, 1962-February 1, 1962) - Wilt Chamberlain folks.... Learn bout him
too much essay in here. My time to shine!
@imsljr420 u said u were swapping kobe with mj right? kobe on the bulls and mj on the lakers? or r they staying on their respective teams?
Robert Horry missed that damn 3
CP3 trade rescinded
Rings 6, 7, 8
Look, I get what you're talking about, but no one can make Smush Parker and Kwame Brown "better". It was a flat out dreadful team and the fact that they even got to the playoffs was a miracle largely down to Kobe going videogame-mode on a consistent basis.
@iishyxvietxboyii You could not be more wrong. Bryant has become more of a jump shooter later in his career much the way Jordan began to rely on the turnaround. But, when he was younger Bryant was one of the best slashers in NBA history. Bryant is HANDS DOWN the most advanced offensive player of all time. There is literally nothing he can't do, and even at 32 with all kinds of injuries he's still dunking on people.
Good Answer Kobe!!
@dallas021 Yes, but the point is he did it against the Boston Celtics at the Garden where they had a 40-1 home record and were the eventual NBA champs.
he was the most commercialized. larry bird wrote in Bird Watching that the best player was probably Magic, but Jordan lasted longer and had a wider career span.
many stars on the defensive team have been scorched on, kobe scorched lebron and hit game winner ect. stars usually get more credit for their defense look at tony allen he only focuses on defense and still hasnt gotten many all defensive teams, its just the way it is kobe was the best defensive shoting guard star for years
Nice, KB is a sick ass player no doubt
@utfanatic2000 did u see 2009 finals when kobe won the jumping and punchin is straight jordan style also clutchin his fist and beating hs chest but still nothing wrong hes just a major jordan fan MAJOR at first kobe reminded me of jordan then i thought like kobe wants to be jordan even his personality when he was younger though always a smile on his face
NBA should thank GOD that Jordan didn't want to set new records. If he would have similar way of thinking that Kobe has he would set unbreakable scoring records
@Kenny1984
did you disappear from the kobe jordan video man?
He should have won the MVP this year.
1. Michael Jordan
2. Magic Johnson
3. Kareem A Jabbar
4. Bill Russell
5. Kobe Bryant
6. Larry Bird
7. Wilt Chamberlain
jerry west ,really? hell no!..Kobe is the most skilled of all time.
@ 4:31 that move was sick
hand down, man down.
@Lakers24pwnz yah kobe one on one is unstoppable thats why every team double teams and triple teams him
im pretty sure a shooting guard is supposed to look for his shot first hence the word shooting lmao.. 5 assists is actually exceptional for a sg and really stretching it even more considering the roster he had was basically a bench minimal role type of supporting cast that were forced to start. i mean everybody talks about how bad that cleveland ship run with lebron was but look at guys like varajaeo, mo williams, those guys can play nobody on this la roster is close to being relevant today.
it would have been crazy if he could have done that for an entire season.
u just hater, the mvp's are given to the best player on the best team,which i dont agrre on, kobe would have had multiple mvps and shaq too in the early 2000's but they only had 1 each cause spurs and duncan had better record on dirks mavs or nash suns, but yeah paul did nice in season,look at rose mvp ,was he really the best? look at lebron also.
this 23 year old kobe is prolly better than a 24 year old lebron if not hes definately as good
4:31 so sick
i really dont know how kobe only has 1 MVP?
Kobe isn't close to Jordan. Stats and awards will prove that.
