Kobe Bryant's final shot needs a deep rewind
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 04. 2021
- On April 13, 2016, Kobe Bryant could have mailed in his last ever regular season game. Instead, it became one of the most prolific, exciting nights of his career. Before we watch Bryant's FIFTIETH SHOT -- his 26,200th as a Laker -- we should reflect on everything that made it so important.
It's worth taking a moment to reflect on the fact that Kobe made it through a record-setting 20 seasons in Los Angeles, somehow surpassing some of the greatest players in NBA history atop franchise leaderboards. Those twenty seasons included numerous championships, but also infighting, scandal, trade requests, and more losing than you might remember. Of course, by the time 2016 rolled around, those losing days had returned. To appreciate what Kobe gave us in his final game for a fallen team, it's worth remembering some of his most prolific scoring (and shooting) nights in prior down times.
Let's rewind.

Never forget that December 2005 game where Kobe and Kwame combined for 63 pts. Kwame led the way with 1 point while Kobe chipped in a measly 62
LMAO 🤣
What an isane duo
Kwame really carried that game 😂
I can't stop laughing lol
Never forget the biggest finals comeback was game 4 2008 finala when Kobe blew a 24 pt lead to the Celtics. Never forget Kobe blew a 3-1 lead to a suns team without Stoudemire
Seeing Gigi cheering her Pops on killed me. Still can’t believe her & Kobe are gone. That’s how you close out a career.
@15:01😞😭😭😭😭
SB never did a Kobe tribute video since last year, so I consider this their own tribute
Ugh, so heartbreaking.
I teared up
Even Kobe own families already move on. You guys don’t even know him personally to harbor such depression and sadness. Weirdos.
True ballers know "You never leave on a miss" r.i.p. Kobe true inspiration
💯
RIP legend

“Pretty emotional”?!? I’m sitting here watching, getting pumped up all these years later. “Can he create one more bit of magic?” YES OF COURSE!! And... SPLASH!! This is why he was my favorite player. Miss him.
I drove out to Staples just to feel the mojo in the air that day. The place was packed. I remember they put out a story that said they sold some record of merch for one player in a single day.
The over/under on Kobe's points for the first quarter was 7. The game was 27. I won both of those bets, and I watched the last game with my best friend and his BIL. One of the last great Lakers moments he'd live to see.
RIP Kobe, and RIP to my best friend. Both taken way too soon. :(

I never heard that until now 🤣

I remember, absolute power move. That was over 15k when it was taken down
@@fyufiy4703 guess what? SB has a video on it. No lie. Look it up
Ye I remember
Jack Nicholson being there one last time with Kobe and celebrating was very nice to see.
LA’s finests, my gramps sat there near him many times
I went to college with his grand niece. She was able to get me a signed headshot. No Lakers tickets though.
Snoop Dogg and Shaq being there was even better or just as good. Shaq was just amazed.
I swear I thought you were memorializing him and thought the trinity of death is true smh
2 GOATS
"Where were you when the Warriors broke the single season win record?"
"Oh I didn't even know the Warriors were playing"
Who didn’t know. The most die hard warrior fans were watching this game to be honest.
my personal GOAT. this dude is the reason i lost 38 kgs and got my life together. i have only cried 3 times, once when my grandma died, 2nd when ali died and 3rd when kobe did.

I still haven't gotten over Kobe's death. My childhood hero . Watching this made me tear up
Really can't believe he's gone. Was sad seeing him and his daughter in this clip. Such a joyous night his last game which we all got to enjoy together.
Same
Seriously. Come on man. You didn't even know the dude. Wanna talk about actually not getting over something? I buried my daughter and only child 6yrs,9 months, and 8 days ago.
I've never gotten over THAT. The biggest event in my entire life. The last 6.75 yrs have been the hardest 'almost 7 years' of my entire life. 😥😭
That doesn't even address the fact that I've got a total of 3 videos of her. Three. And plenty of pictures. But only 3 vids because her mother & I were split up and she did everything she could to keep my daughter from me. So I rarely saw her at times. And it never crossed my mind that I'd possibly only get 2 years with her before she was taken from us. I thought I had time... I thought there were still years to catch up. And in a flash, it was all taken away. 😭 All, because somebody couldn't put their fkn phone down and drive. Her mother thought texting was more important than the lives in her vehicle. And she caused the death of our child because of it.
It's still raw. Like the most intense friction rawness that still stings over a year later.
@@blazer6248 sorry for your loss, but be considerate of the pain others are feeling. To you it might be ridiculous that someone tears up remembering their sports hero, but to him it meant something. Dont let your grief turn to disdain for others, we've all lost something one way or the other. May you find peace from your loss.
God that was beautiful. A lot of people always bring up how the Jazz were playing soft defense, but dude had a broken body at 37. He still had to make the shots and that’s impressive of itself
He shot them out the game then shot them back in it and sealed the comeback only Mamba could get away with that
Watching this live as a Jazz fan, I remember feeling the inevitably of Kobe's win. He was unstoppable, a force of nature, like watching a tsunami racing towards the shore. I wasn't even mad. I was mesmerized.
Looking at that shot of him an Joe Ingles chatting and smiling, seems like they were having an good time too.
This is probably the only rewinder where I remember each and every single moment mentioned in the video.
Seared onto my brain with a branding iron. I went and watched this at a bdubs in Utah. Got the same chills just now that I had then.
Kobe’s was my generation Jordan...and I saw Jordan...
“the only person who can beat me is Kobe, he stole all my moves” Michael Jefferey Jordan*
Yeah I bet
“Sometimes when you get up early to work hard, sometimes you stay up late to work hard, those times you feel like not working, you’re you don’t want to push yourself but you do it anyway, that is actually the dream.” - Black Mamba Kobe Bryant
The guy was getting paid tens of millions of dollars every year. I don't know why people get so emotional about how hard athletes work when they're getting obscenely wealthy doing it...
Firstly, I just quoted and secondly, this amount of work inspires and sets an example to everyone. From a normal life to sport. I know he got paid a lot of money but that is because the NBA is good as a business. At least the Lakers got what they paid for
@@frother You saw that as if there are not at least half of athletes in their league do just decent or mediocre to get paid millions of dollars. There are few athletes and Kobe who showed a passion for their craft despite their wealthiness and comfortability.
Bro I was talking about Kobe, that’s why we were sad to see him go
That Jalen Rose picture haha. Great work on the video, folks.
I think about one part of this game specifically, the moment Kobe looked over at his family, he winked and had a little chuckle. God that man was lucky to live the life he lived with the people he loved.
We’re also witnessed a father as well... which I understand a lot clearer...
“Not going to lie watching this game again was a little emotional”
Couldn’t agree more glad you mentioned it. RIP champ
Kobe Bryants first 2 points where at the free throw line...and his final 2 points where at the free throw line. Kinda crazy.
Also the last two points of his 81 were at the free throw line
Last shot of his prime were free throw after he torn his achilles
And Shaq missed his last 2 free throws
Seth's such an incredible narrator. Thank you for this!
Yeah Seth is the best! Him and Clara are my favs.
@@roberthenderson3760 Rewind - Seth, Beef History - Clara
R Easy Indeed! The SB videos are at their unmatched peak when it's him handling the commentary; it wouldn't have messed it up if this was given to Will or something but this occasion definitely has to be paired up with SB's best.
Also, if THIS video was going to Clara to mess it up with her voice and bad humor deliver it would've been a massive letdown. I clicked without hesitation, I just knew there was no way to be preoccupied with a rewind material like this.
Kinda crazy how much young talent the Lakers let go en route back to title contention. Randle, D'Lo, Jordan Clarkson, Lonzo, Ingram.
As a Lakers fan I'm happy for all those dudes that are doing well with their new teams. It's tough to develop in LA. Though that kind of makes what Kobe did even more impressive. RIP King.
It's also kind crazy how much incompetent talent they signed to suck those years. Look at those contracts they gave to Hibbert and TIMOFEY MOZGOV who was coming off a season where he didn't average a SINGLE double if you combined all his stats into one stat. It's like Jimmy Buss was daring people to fire him.
Zubac, B Hart, Lou Will
To be fair Kobe developed under Shaq, like any of those dudes would have if they stayed in LA with LeBron
Remember Marcelo Huertas? I dont 😂😂
Kobe’s ridiculous contract in the twilight age of his career messed up a lot of stuff
"Mamba out!" - words I never thought would change meaning. Live on Kobe! Our generation's GOAT 🐐💜💛
Surely you mean Tim Duncan.
2:40
“Which brings me perhaps to Kobe’s most incredible feat of all; he’s still here!”
😢
and to think some went ahead and watched a Warriors vs Grizzlies game instead of Kobe’s last game
Rest in Paradise, Black Mamba ❤️
"I'm not gonna make you watch every single kobe attempt" why not???
I cried that night as the buzzer sounded. I'm crying rn because I wish things were different
This is supposed to make me happy and it does but it’s not supposed to make me cry. We miss you Kobe
Bruh, its already 5 years old, it feels like it happened yesterday i remember it watching both GSW game and Kobe's last game, ahhh some nostalgia, gimme back those years and time, RIP Kobe ❤🙏🖤
R.I.P. Kobe 🕊
The NBA hasn’t been the same since this game
Seeing Gianna courtside just make me wanna cry even harder
"The moment you give up is the moment you let someone else win"- Kobe Bryant
An epitome of Hard Work.
Gigi’s face when her dad sinks that final J just breaks my heart
Kobe was just simply built different 🐐🐍💜💛
Jeter, Peyton, and Kobe retiring after each other meant my childhood was over when those guys retired.
He wasn't even done at the end of this video. He had 60 in his final game. RIP
R.I.P Kobe Bryant and R.I.P to DMX as well it sucks seeing my childhood legends leave earth 😩💔
You live long enough, it happens one by one. Sadly, some leave sooner than they were supposed to.
I grew up a Kobe fan I cried watching that game but it saddens me that I never got to watch him cuz I lived in Puerto Rico
I remember watching this game live. I think around early 4th quarter something inside me realized this was going to be the last time I was going to watch Kobe Bryant play. I started choking up a little bit then he started that scoring run. One of the goals in my life was to meet him someday.
Kobe will always be remembered in our hearts. The mamba will live on! 💜💛
The 2008 Brazilian GP deserves a rewind.
No, please, no... Everytime I hear " Is that Glock?" I get PTSD.:D
sadly this channel is mainly “american sports” so probs won’t be done :(
Yes that would awesome
I have no idea what this is but SB doing motorsports would be awesome.

Oh my. Seeing Gigi at the end made it that much more impactful
Yeah.. same...RIP GIGI 🙏❤️🙏
when i saw gigi cheering him on at the end chills ran down my spine
RIP to the LEGEND Kobe ❤️🙏
🥲 It was more of a farewell game than we could have imagined.
There will never be another one quite like the Black Mamba. We love you forever.
Ok secret base, I see what you’re trying to do. Get us all in that feel good/happy nostalgic mood, but because of the context you’ve got us smiling and crying at the same time.
Rip Kobe and Gigi 💛💜
There will never be another player to capture a whole fanbase’s hearts the way Kobe did for so long. Thank you Mamba 💜💛
Cant forget how much fun it was watching him in the Olympics. On such a stacked team, and he still looked like an icon
Dirk Nowitzki's layup for the Mavericks in Game 2 of the 2011 Finals deserves a deep rewind.
Game 2 tho lol
@@slimstretch56 bro said game 2 😂😂😂
Clinching shot of game 6. I feel you though
@@nonamelegend_vapor Nah I meant the layup on Bosh that gave the Mavs the lead right at the end of Game 2.
It took every bit of my being not to shed a tear, RIP Mamba and Mambacita💜💛💜💛
Kobe’s not gone. He’s just steps ahead of us. As always.
Miss you everyday, Kobe!
14:45 how kobe uses his left hand in this sequence is so high level. To the very end his fundamentals were rock solid
I was at this game sitting at row 8 in section 320. One of the most memorable nights ever.
Man this guy helped raise me without even knowing. Growing up with a single mom who knew nothing about sports, I would watch Kobe on TV then go out in the driveway and try to copy what I had just witnessed. He taught me how to play, how to work and how to have that Mamba Mentality all from afar. I miss him.
Seeing him and his family now is tough.
It might have been the most inconsequential basketball game ever, but it was so awesome to watch.
Kobe will always be my GOAT as a LA kid growing up I idolized the mamba. Long live the GOAT
At times when watching this live on TV, it felt like he would just "will out" a win outta that game.
What an absolute legend, cemented and closed one of the most brilliant sports careers i've ever seen in my life.
Thank you SB, and thank you Kobe, may you rest in peace.
I remember crying tears of joy when he took that shot.
Kobe, one of the greatest players of all-time. His mamba mentality to keep working hard and be the best is unmatched except from his idol MJ
Rest peacefully Mamba, and look after your little Mambacita while doing that💜💛
I know you got to plug yourself at the end. But I was about to cry when the tv shutdown animation played. Artistically you should've let that be it.
Agreed
He could have just had a black screen with the youtube ending card.
Would have worked way better than the cringey plug. (I get why its there but just this once.)
Kobe was a showman to the end. I saw that game live and it was great to witness. RIP Bean
I still get teary eyed watching those final 3 minutes of his last game. Seriously felt like 20 years of my life flashing before my eyes.
Roy Halladays Playoff No Hitter against the Reds in 2010 deserves a deep rewind. (May he Rest in Peace)
Great thing to remind, very emotional indeed!
I love how everything rounded up. With 2 last free throws he scored 60. He took 50 shots. He took 26 200 total in his career. Very neat.
I’m not crying.. my eyes are sweating 😅 Mamba Forever ♾
That ending and the shot of his family. You got me. Wow... I caught one of the games a week or two before against the Pels. It was a lot of fun. Pels got the W and everyone was chanting for Kobe to get in the game and get the ball.
I truly remember this game as I was accepted at my very first job, up until this day, and watching it live.
8 years later, I still get emotional watching this game. You NEVER EVER leave on a miss. RIP Kobe 🕊
It’s crazy how it’s about to be 5 years since that game, and Ik it’s something we all will never forget!!!!
how to make a rewinder:
-slow motion clip of a sports
-newspaper clippings
-lofi fusion soundtrack
-pictures of people with their mouths open
-pictures of people with their mouths closed
-a bunch of random dates and numbers
-maybe a couple more clips of people doing sports things
-slow off-center zooms
-fast off-center zooms
-cute little sportscar-shaped vhs player
-“welcome to a moment in history”
Man that game was magical when he finally got hot he caught on Phoenix fire smh R.I.P. to Mamba and Gigi
Kobe was just built different. Heroes come and go but legends are forever! R.I.P Mamba...Gone but never forgotten
R.I.P Kobe 🙏🏿✊🏿💜🤴🏿🏀
Goosebumps and tears building in my eyes is what I got from watching this video... #RIPMamba
the final possession was even more beautiful. kobe made the freethrows (similar to his first points in the nba, a freethrow) and then he made an assist to jordan clarkson who at the time was the most stylistically similar to kobe in that young core.
It’s been over 2 years since Kobe’s passing and it’s still hard for me to watch videos with or about him. He was/is the sole reason I started loving basketball. Mind you I was born in 2000 in Ohio and didn’t start watching basketball until 2008 all because of Kobe. For some reason I was drawn to Kobe over Lebron (if you aren’t from Ohio you might not understand how big of a deal that it) I guess I could just see the passion every time he played and I was glued to watching him. Ever since then I’ve been a lakers fans and Kobe has always been my favorite player. I remember exactly where I was when I saw that tmz article 5 minutes after it was posted on Twitter… of course I didn’t believe it at first it was tmz… but when it was confirmed all I could think about was how the night before he was watching Lebron pass him in scoring in a laker jersey with Gigi right next to him. My day was ruined my idol. The reason I love this sport. Just gone. It felt as if I lost a part of me. I have always been passionate about things I do/want to do with my life and I attribute that to watching Kobe play and listening to him talk about the game. I wanted to be like him in any aspect of life. Eventually I realized that he wouldn’t mope around, he would get up and keep pushing for his goals and dreams and that’s what I had to do. It took me awhile because man I know I never knew the guy but part of me left with him and I don’t know if I’ll ever get that part back. I love this sport and it’s because of Kobe. I wanted to be like him. I still want to be like him. And for that I thank you Kobe. Rest In Peace to the greatest Laker of all time
Y’all don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for THIS video
It’s sad to lose a Legend with his daughter
And we will never forget that day
The teams probably still play and
The team never forget about theme
And they were my legend
I was heart broken when I hear they have died 😞💔
We will miss you Kobe Bryant
🥺❤️
It was so amazing. The "most pure Kobe" game ever. I loved every second...the crowd reactions were just absolutely legendary. RIP
easily my favorite sports memory, watching this game in my dorm commons with 50 people going insane. thank you for a fantastic video and for helping me relive this moment so viscerally!
“Everybody back then were mad at me for not passing, but now all they want me to do is shoot.” -Kobe
With Shaq being ran out of town, at a point like that, you either shoot it or you just get the Lakers down to the D League. If not passing caused a gentleman sweep by the 04 Pistons, having your way with the shots also caused a damage like blowing a 3-1 lead to the injured Suns.
I also remember Peyton’s roast about this game and his last Superbowl has almost “no passing”
In hindsight, this game is the greatest you could ever be in person to see, mj came back, other legends ended on injuries but kobe played like he was a better version of his prime and we will never see it again rip mamba
watching that end gave me goosebumps, rest easy kobe.
THE GREATEST EVER
