john williams nope. Magic said it himself "Kobe will surpass me as the greatest Laker ever." Wilt onlyn played half of his career in LA, and Kareem woudn't have won without the man who said Kobe surpassed hum and Jerry West drafted Kobe because "of his potential to become the Greatest Laker ever." I rest my case.
john williams wilt was not a laker his entire career, magic even said it himself, "kobe is the greatest laker of all-time" and so did west and shaq. shaq even says it now, the greatest laker ever.
I'm sorry this may come off as disrespectful but I really have a hard time choosing between Kobe and MJ. If you really think about it Kobe can do everything MJ can do and some things even better. Now in a one on one of course I'd take MJ bc of his lockdown defense but man Kobe sure would make him run for his money. Kobe has done just as much in basketball as MJ has besides win hat 6th ring. If I had the power I'd make Kobe good again and have him traded to the Cavs so he could win that ring. Michael Jordan and Kobe are the greatest two players of all time. people just need to start acknowledging Kobe. The man dropped 81 points in a single game. That's the second most in NBA history. He has the record for 3s in a game,the third most points ever,he scored 63 in 3 quaters,he went on a 9 game 40 pt streak,he went on a 4 game tear of 65,50,60,and 65,he has so many game winners,and if u watched this video u saw he lacks no skill offensively.
***** I think most big men are overrared because you have to take in account all around player. There is nothing Kobe couldn't do on he court. Bill Russel can't make a jumpshot for the life of him. Bill Russel isn't very good offensively he's awful if we're talking about top 2 players of all time standards. Bill Russel can't defend the perimeter at all. But Kobe can defend the post,he'd get outmatched because of size but defending a guard or SF in the post,yea Kobe can easily do that. You get what I'm saying now? Kobe can do everything exceptionally well. Bill Russel does some things exceptionally well and some he can't do period.
+Benjie Lim Problem is...Bill didnt single handedly take games over, have the team come back, AND STILL win the game with a well contested shot AT THE BUZZER. there are Hall Of Famers and then there are Legends. Kobe is a Legend. Bill Russell is Hall of Fame.
+Benjie Lim you're sick! Kobe always brought the energy and rythym to all of his team mates! Are you insane?? His pass/assist game was as good as some of the best to ever do it. Yeah he had his ball hog moments but he backed it up. There is nothing he lacked..? Yes, Kobe is a Legend. And dont even mention Wilt chamberlain thats a whole different era and different style of game.
+Benjie Lim and you keep saying, "win them" yeah championships are nice but if you use that logic..Dan Marino would be considered a nobody no wouldn't he?
Me being as young as I am I'm happy that I got to watch Kobe in some of his prime and up until now but it is sad that he's retiring after this year and I hope his play elevates this year it's sad watching him play like this u will be missed 💯
man been liking the lakers and kobe since i was born. kobe started the same year in the nba that i was born in 1996 hate to see him retire in 2014 and only played for 17 years. good video for lakers fan
We have the 4 legendary eras the 80s magic Johnson era 90s Michael Jordan era the 2000s the Kobe Bryant era and now it's Lebrons Era out of all these I think kobe offensively had the greatest era Michael had the best overall era Magic had the sweetest and most entertaining "show time" era and now we have lebron which still might not OWN the era because KD is only getting better
I'm not a laker fan or a kobe fan but I think most people were so busy comparing him to michael, that we didn't appreciate the greatness of kobe. Top 5 best player ever. You will be missed.
man it sucks seeing kobe go. im only in 8 grade and i havent seen his great days but i remember when he won two championships back to back. i wish he could go longer in the nba but unfortionatley he cant. even tho he didnt get that sixth ring to match mj but 5 was good enough. one thing b4 i go is that black mamba, u r truly the best player ive ever seen play in my lifetime
the people who got to watch MJ and KOBE in their primes are lucky! instead of hating on kobe for playing like mj and copying his skill set, you guys should be happy cuz the dude was fun to watch and amazing. I got to watch kobe play but not mj, i hope another "kobe" or "mj" comes along, not only with the skillset, but demeanor too.. be happy people and appreciate greatness
Amazing video...truly im gonna miss kobe when he retires. The only player i watch in nba. The only player that amaze me with his clutch shots and unbelievable shots. The only player that gives me chills and goosebumps. He is really the greatest player ever on nba..most underrated athlete of all time..cant wait to see you again mamba!
Awesome video ... I remember my entire family sitting infront of the tv watching the Lakers play and watching this #8 phenomenon .... now I'm a married man but those memories ill cherish forever...
And we both know, no matter what I do next I’ll always be that kid With the rolled up socks Garbage can in the corner :05 seconds on the clock Ball in my hands. 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1
I just wanna say that this was a great video and to those that say it's too slow or there's not enough highlights or whatever. This isn't a highlight video even though that's what it's been named. This is a very well done tribute to one of the Greatest Players of All Time. A player that it pains me to see play and compete, risking his health for a 4th season for really no reason anymore. So job well done Mr. Young
i aint hating lebron, i aint even a kobe's fan. but just see the way kobe and lebron play u can tell who is the better player. kobe plays not only with physical strength but also with a high basketball IQ. haters 'gon hate but lebron's games are almost 100% physical
you are totally wrong... i DONT say that one has higher iq than another, im not an iq test, but you got to give lebron some credit... if he was only physical, he would be an average PF... the guy can play from pg-pf and even a C in some occasions, in the fucking NBA... also it takes some serious IQ to read the game, to know when to pass and where.. lebron has that... the difference is that kobe had "elasticity"(i dont know if its the right word, sry im greek), which made his moves look really smooth... its unfair to ask that from lebron... whats next?! to ask him to do the iverson crossovers?! he was born a beast, so he is going to play like one...its like asking from griffin to do nowitzki's moves... he wasnt born with the physical ability to do that...
that's a good point too bro. but imo, it is true that basketball requires both strength and flexiblity, as well as the intelligence to read the game. u can go thru the footage of kobe and lebron and u'll see what im talkin bout. as u said b4, lebron is a beast. yes it is true i dont deny it. the fact that because he is a beast (literally), he makes it look easy when ripping the defence apart. his game mostly rely on his physical strength. most of his passes happen when he has no where to go, or in a situation that passing the ball is the only option he has left. kobe, on the other hand, he has the ability to shoot, drive, rebound, pass... (lebron too). but the lakers these years are way too weak that he has to do almost everything. none of the lakers can shoot like him, it's easy to understand why he is a ball hog. talkin bout passing the ball. u can see that most of the time he still could make the shot. but he chose to pass. why? because his teammates are in better positions to score.
well kobe doesnt suck thats for sure...2009 and 2010 Finals MVP award on both occasions...15 All-NBA Teams (11 times to the All-NBA First Team) and 12 All-Defensive Teams (nine times to the All-Defensive First Team). He was selected to play in the NBA All-Star Game on 16 occasions, winning All-Star MVP Awards in 2002, 2007, 2009 and 2011 (he shared the 2009 award with Shaquille O'Neal). He also won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 1997.>>>>> As of May 2011, he has had 5 sixty-point games, 24 fifty-point games, and 107 forty-point games.
Great video. Kobe, show us that you will come back again. We'll wait to see you play again until the moment when you retire. P.S. I will feel the same way when LeBron retires as well other NBA greats. These guys are awesome in their own way. No need to compare these legends.
Beautiful homage to a living legend. It's amazing how quickly some people have forgotten the unmatched greatness that has been Kobe Bryant simply because he isn't physically what he once was. It doesn't matter if he's "better" than Michael, or "better" than LeBron, or "better" than Russell or anyone else for that matter. There never has been and never will be another player like him, period.
Y u all hate Kobe? Just because he dominates your favorite team you all will cry?? Just because Lebron got blocked by Kobe you'll hate Kobe? Making a reason that Kobe is paying refs to not get traveled and foul. Please basketball fans why you all watch basketball if dont know real travel or a pivot. Lebron go to free throws even without contact foul and traveled like the refs dont see anything. And flops like a crybaby Flops are for those who are scared to lose its obvious. Now why hate Kobe?? Now give me a reason why he is bad and ill correct your shitty reason
dude,kobe is my favourite player but it is one thing to respect your idol and something totally different to disrespect others...i always knew how to distinguish favourite from best,you obviously dont.Your comments for lebron are clear evidence you need urgent medical attention
Desire is what makes Jordan and Kobe better than LeBron...talent is fine and a lot of players have it. The will to win is what separates those who will be remembered as the greatest from those that could have been.
LBJ is fantastic but if I were to choose either James or Kobe in their primes to lead my franchise, I'd take Kobe 10/10. Like I saw on here. The dude is a winner, has a killer instinct and is willing to do anything to win a game and how many times has James failed to hit the big shot? How many times has James wanted someone else to take the shot? Not shitting on Lebron by any means I'm just saying if you wanna compare the 2 in their prime, Kobe is the man. We'll never see another Michael Jordan and how many times have we heard throughout the years "the next Michael Jordan"? If there was one player to compare to sir air-ness it would be Kobe Bryant.
This is LeBron were talking about failed to hit the shot let's not act like Jordan or Kobe hit every single clutch shot in their career but LeBron hit the game winner vs the Bulls this year but simple as can be LeBron has already done more than Kobe in his career and he's only 30 LeBron's gonna have a dynasty with the cavs it's their 1st year together and they almost won it without 2 all stars
terrorofsesameST Lebron's clutch numbers are significantly better than Kobe's AND his teams do better in close games, but because of highlight videos like this people think Kobe is some late-game wizard. His legacy is built on playing with dominant centers and chucking as much as possible until he got his points.
Alex Henrie his clutch numbers are better because he has so little clutch moments, kobe has been turned too to take the shot almost every time for his team in clutch situations.
Alex Henrie One of the first thing you do when looking at stats is the sample size. Lebrons sample size of clutch moments is so much smaller than Kobe's because he doesn't have the balls to take those shots as consistently. Hence why Lebron fans want so badly to believe that Lebron is better in the clutch than Kobe. But anyone with eyes that has seen the two play would say Kobe with no hesitation.
The only reason Kobe doesn't have 3-4 MVP awards is because of the sex scandal. The league didn't want to be represented by someone involved in that type of situation. But I think Kobe was the best player from about 04 to 09 and should have won...maybe even the best in 2010, but that is debatable
KOBE!!!!!!!!! Kobe=awesomeness beyond awesomeness. I think he even has a G+ page only problem is he cannot coach at all. He can create the strategies and handle the pressure, but he's going to expect the players to be like him and have his type of passion for the game it just won't work
😂😂😂 man I died off that one but yeah it does seem sad it's gonna be even sadder when he walks away...but on the bright side we still have KD, Russell Westbrook, and many others to look forward to
Look the Fact is A.I. has had 3 seasons averaging 33+ ppg Kobe only as 2 and Lebron Durant and Melo have never done it not even once. In these 3 seasons A.I. also got 6.1,7.4 and 6.7 assists with almost 3 steals he could not be guarded by anyone, Jordan one of the best perimeter defenders to ever live got caught going the other way, he even Crossed Tony Allen (which no body else could do) and the fact that he was 6ft with a relatively slow 40 time and all he had Handles and quickness plus he played on a team with no other threats to score so he was always doubled and he still shot a high percentage....are you serious. If he is Westbrook in OKC with all that talent so they couldn't double him he probably would breach 40ppg
As for Shaq he played Against what is probably the best era of big Man, Olajuwon, Robinson, Ewing, Malone, Kemp, Mutombo, Barkley. , Garnett, Wallace, Ducan. All in there prime during his career (Keep in mind that big Ben Wallace is one of the best post defenders ever in his prime) and Shaq Still Dominated he wasn't a freak athlete like Howard of today of Olajuwon and Kemp and Robinson where he destroyed them was a hook shot and more mature unstoppable post moves that hadn't ever been seen accomplished so. If he hadn't had those last 4 years of almost no production his career numbers would be 29 ppg (Dwight hasn't done that in a season)Record for any center except Wilt...who was an atheletic big man playing against uncoordinated fucks he was only okay against Russell and Kareem without playing in the Era he did I don't know if he would be in the HOF 13 boards(only the worm is better) and 3 blocks (only Mutumbo higher) he is by far the best big man to ever live Next is Olajuwon then either Kareem, Duncan or Malone could not tell you
Tyler Hardwick LeBron, KD and melo haven't fully played their entire careers, so you don't know for sure if LeBron, KD and melo will average 33pts every season
You guys act like Jordan didnt have help. Kobe had Shaq and MJ had Pippen. Kobe will probably never have a 6th ring but he will retire ahead of MJ statistically. Talk now but mark my words.
tj roldan yo dude you want me to prove kobe dosnt need shaq to win kobe went to 3 finals without shaq and won 2 shaq had 1 final and 1 win without kobe enough said pipen wouldn't be pippen without jordan shaq would be shaq but kobe and mj best players alive right now enough said
Going to miss him, kg, and duncan when theybhang em up. Sucks the league is going to be solely in bron's bia hands for a while. He is the most despicable poster child the nba has ever had
Tyrone kilete Kobe, if for nothing else, is better than Lebron simply because he didn't throw his teammates under the buss the moment things stopped going well.
I really enjoyed this until 4:33...come on, James is clearly better than Kobe, i can tell you why if you respond to my comment. But otherwise, great video.
Youf right LeBron is better than kobe.... but kobe Bryant is no longer in his prime .... prime vs prime LeBron falls miles behind ... kobe had the killer instinct and would noy go down without a fight as for LeBron well you know he tends do disappear in big games
This guy kobe suck . People please don't compare him to Michael Jordan. Michael jordan 6 time world championship& 6 time final MVP AND NEVER LOST A NBA FINAL. Kobe win 3 championship with Shaq & Shaq was the MVP in the 3 championship not kobe. Kobe also lost 2 nba finals...
Legends never die..
Rip Kobe💔🕊 1978-2020
Who's watching this in 2016 and crying😭?
+Ballistic Zero Gaming I'm not even watching Basketball for at least 10 years, and I'm about to cry my ass off
+smootskin dude Ik I haven't been watching nba in who knows how long lmao

Kobe will always be the best. No one can replace him.
You a lil bitch
It isn’t
GOAT
Jordan is Goat at least that's what kobe said
Even the haters are gonna miss Kobe
+Thelifesavior if u don't know it stands for Greatest Of All Time
+Civiveon_HD greatest of all time
Jordan , Kobe , Lebron 3 of the greatest to play the sport.stop comparing.just appreciate their greatness.
I agree:)
yeah!
I agree. But tbh ... i really think Lebron is far from being the best. Sorry, but I have to gives Lebrons spot to Larry Bird
Edgar Gonzalez u should watch game 4 vs nets then u know why LeBron is, the best ever
Khalid Nawabi This kid just on lebrons D huh?
It's gonna be weird when he retires...he's always been around as I grew up watching NBA. I even think Kobe haters feel the same way.
I know right I am ten yet he is my favourite player I am going to be sad when he retires next year
Tbh, Ima Celtics fan but he is a great player
The end is near. Thanks for everything Kobe.
Truly greatest Laker of all time. I'm going to miss him when he retries. :(
Agreed
Khalid Nawabi LOL theres that pathetic kobe hater...
On a KOBE video... GTFO
john williams k
john williams nope. Magic said it himself "Kobe will surpass me as the greatest Laker ever." Wilt onlyn played half of his career in LA, and Kareem woudn't have won without the man who said Kobe surpassed hum and Jerry West drafted Kobe because "of his potential to become the Greatest Laker ever." I rest my case.
john williams wilt was not a laker his entire career, magic even said it himself, "kobe is the greatest laker of all-time" and so did west and shaq. shaq even says it now, the greatest laker ever.
Kobe we thank you for 20 years of passion and greatness, even in your last game you stood out from the greatest to ever play.
this is my favorite video on youtube. hate me all you want. he is THE best.
This is probably the best career tribute to anyone I've ever seen. Thanks for the memories Kobe🏀 #Kobe20
Had to come watch some Kobe highlights after announcing his retirement. One of the greatest to ever play the game, period.
RIP TO THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT!
People only think lebron is the greatest cuz he is in our generation .they probably never seen the other legends before
Only "Few" knows... only Few!
so true
Gooby Mj was the GREATEST
AIR JORDAN yes undoubtedly anybody who thinks otherwise needs to see a doctor
So basically all lebron fans lol
Legends never die 🙌🏻
Nope they never do
It's going to be a different league without Kobe
No it's not Kobe ain't shit he can't even make the playoffs Lebron is way better than him
Tyrone kilete Kobe Bryant is way better than lebron so shut up
Kobe is the possibly most clutch and best scorer ever
Tyrone kilete yea i know lebron is better than kobe in flopping
Brayden Reynolds Career average of 25.1 PPG on 45% shooting...how does anyone actually think that?
81 means = number 8 kobe is numer 1
I'm sorry this may come off as disrespectful but I really have a hard time choosing between Kobe and MJ. If you really think about it Kobe can do everything MJ can do and some things even better. Now in a one on one of course I'd take MJ bc of his lockdown defense but man Kobe sure would make him run for his money. Kobe has done just as much in basketball as MJ has besides win hat 6th ring.

+Benjie Lim and you keep saying, "win them" yeah championships are nice but if you use that logic..Dan Marino would be considered a nobody no wouldn't he?
Damn if he never tore his achilles we could have saw him in the playoffs 1 last time. Its pretty sad man
carrying his team for so long his Achilles just wore out
Me being as young as I am I'm happy that I got to watch Kobe in some of his prime and up until now but it is sad that he's retiring after this year and I hope his play elevates this year it's sad watching him play like this u will be missed 💯
The game will miss you Kobe Bryant. National Basketball Association needs personel like you.
man been liking the lakers and kobe since i was born. kobe started the same year in the nba that i was born in 1996 hate to see him retire in 2014 and only played for 17 years. good video for lakers fan
I watch this about 3-4 times a year. And it’s just a little bit more powerful watching it now. RIP Kobe.
We have the 4 legendary eras the 80s magic Johnson era 90s Michael Jordan era the 2000s the Kobe Bryant era and now it's Lebrons Era out of all these I think kobe offensively had the greatest era Michael had the best overall era Magic had the sweetest and most entertaining "show time" era and now we have lebron which still might not OWN the era because KD is only getting better
I'm not a laker fan or a kobe fan but I think most people were so busy comparing him to michael, that we didn't appreciate the greatness of kobe. Top 5 best player ever. You will be missed.
Excellent tribute. There will never be another Kobe Bryant
man it sucks seeing kobe go. im only in 8 grade and i havent seen his great days but i remember when he won two championships back to back. i wish he could go longer in the nba but unfortionatley he cant. even tho he didnt get that sixth ring to match mj but 5 was good enough. one thing b4 i go is that black mamba, u r truly the best player ive ever seen play in my lifetime
the people who got to watch MJ and KOBE in their primes are lucky! instead of hating on kobe for playing like mj and copying his skill set, you guys should be happy cuz the dude was fun to watch and amazing. I got to watch kobe play but not mj, i hope another "kobe" or "mj" comes along, not only with the skillset, but demeanor too.. be happy people and appreciate greatness
Not to get off topic but I'm the same with you.. Never saw MJ play but as much as I don't like LeBron... I'm happy to say I was able to see him no lie
Jordan Bivins
i never got too see mj play either i wish i did though, n yup people wont understand till those people r gone
I agree people should agree to with his greatness
Great Video Kobe Would Love This. Its really touching.
Amazing video...truly im gonna miss kobe when he retires. The only player i watch in nba. The only player that amaze me with his clutch shots and unbelievable shots. The only player that gives me chills and goosebumps. He is really the greatest player ever on nba..most underrated athlete of all time..cant wait to see you again mamba!
Awesome video ... I remember my entire family sitting infront of the tv watching the Lakers play and watching this #8 phenomenon .... now I'm a married man but those memories ill cherish forever...
i almost cried..
aw its gonna be tough seeing him retire dude :/
Even tho he is retiring his legacy will always live in the nba as one of the greatest to touch a basketball
KOBE IS THE MAN.. WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WHEN HE STEPS AWAY. .. AWESOME VIDEO. . LAKER NATION..
And we both know, no matter what I do next
I’ll always be that kid
With the rolled up socks
Garbage can in the corner
:05 seconds on the clock

You will be missed MAMBA 💔💔💔

Thank you for making
KOBE WILL RISE
That was freaking awesome! Great video, great player. GOAT.
Nash's 2nd MVP should have been Kobe's. 90s were Jordan, 00s were Kobe, 2010s are Lebron
Stephen Curry better do something quick I'm about done with NBA Kobe is my favorite player ever I'm gonna miss him so much
Don't worry. Steph is just getting started
check out kyrie Irving , his ability to score inside reminds me of kobe
+Keegan Hutchison yup pg kobe most talented pg in nba history
Paul George is coming
stephen curry is trash
I just wanna say that this was a great video and to those that say it's too slow or there's not enough highlights or whatever. This isn't a highlight video even though that's what it's been named.

Desire is what makes Jordan and Kobe better than LeBron...talent is fine and a lot of players have it. The will to win is what separates those who will be remembered as the greatest from those that could have been.
I will miss this man.. brilliant video my friend thanks
I remember watching this years ago, stumbled upon it again, crazy to watch now
LBJ is fantastic but if I were to choose either James or Kobe in their primes to lead my franchise, I'd take Kobe 10/10. Like I saw on here. The dude is a winner, has a killer instinct and is willing to do anything to win a game and how many times has James failed to hit the big shot? How many times has James wanted someone else to take the shot? Not shitting on Lebron by any means I'm just saying if you wanna compare the 2 in their prime, Kobe is the man.
We'll never see another Michael Jordan and how many times have we heard throughout the years "the next Michael Jordan"? If there was one player to compare to sir air-ness it would be Kobe Bryant.
I agree
This is LeBron were talking about failed to hit the shot let's not act like Jordan or Kobe hit every single clutch shot in their career but LeBron hit the game winner vs the Bulls this year but simple as can be LeBron has already done more than Kobe in his career and he's only 30 LeBron's gonna have a dynasty with the cavs it's their 1st year together and they almost won it without 2 all stars
terrorofsesameST Lebron's clutch numbers are significantly better than Kobe's AND his teams do better in close games, but because of highlight videos like this people think Kobe is some late-game wizard. His legacy is built on playing with dominant centers and chucking as much as possible until he got his points.
Alex Henrie his clutch numbers are better because he has so little clutch moments, kobe has been turned too to take the shot almost every time for his team in clutch situations.
Alex Henrie One of the first thing you do when looking at stats is the sample size. Lebrons sample size of clutch moments is so much smaller than Kobe's because he doesn't have the balls to take those shots as consistently. Hence why Lebron fans want so badly to believe that Lebron is better in the clutch than Kobe. But anyone with eyes that has seen the two play would say Kobe with no hesitation.
The only reason Kobe doesn't have 3-4 MVP awards is because of the sex scandal. The league didn't want to be represented by someone involved in that type of situation. But I think Kobe was the best player from about 04 to 09 and should have won...maybe even the best in 2010, but that is debatable
By far the best Kobe Video I have ever seen
thx u making this it's so sad that he was super good and then It all fell apart😭😭😭😭
Lol I like the one about ending silly comparisions...
KOBE!!!!!!!!!
Kobe=awesomeness beyond awesomeness.
I think he even has a G+ page only problem is he cannot coach at all. He can create the strategies and handle the pressure, but he's going to expect the players to be like him and have his type of passion for the game it just won't work
The music sounds like it came from one of those sad dog commercials that you need to call and donate money to.
😂😂😂 man I died off that one but yeah it does seem sad it's gonna be even sadder when he walks away...but on the bright side we still have KD, Russell Westbrook, and many others to look forward to
One of the best video about Kobe I've ever seen, congratulations ;-)
This was an awesome video thanks Kobe is Number 1
Top 5
1. Michael Jordan
2. Kobe Bryant
3. Magic Johnson
4. Larry Bird
5. Wilt Chamberlain
Kobe is 2nd coming of Jordan he is the closest thing ever to his airness
Kobe isn't even top 10, he isn't even the best laker of all time
Lebron > Kobe
Kobe is not top 10..... I cant people r just retarded i swear
Ryan Park you're an idiot
so ur saying kobe is not in the top 10
You showed us how to make a boring tribute video.
Toooooo corny
😂😂😂😂
***** Maybe
+sakecity7 savage
no chill
Masterpiece video kobe for life
My fav nba player.The reason i started to love the game of basketball..sad to see him go.best player in my eyes..
Top 5 players all time
1.Jordan
2.Kobe
3.A.I.
4.Shaq
5.Bird
1. Jordan
2. Kobe
3. Magic
4. Wilt
5. Kareem
6. Bird
7. Dr.J
8. Shaq
9. The Big O
10. Bill Russell
(I got AI in my top 15 though)
Look the Fact is A.I. has had 3 seasons averaging 33+ ppg Kobe only as 2 and Lebron Durant and Melo have never done it not even once. In these 3 seasons A.I. also got 6.1,7.4 and 6.7 assists with almost 3 steals he could not be guarded by anyone, Jordan one of the best perimeter defenders to ever live got caught going the other way, he even Crossed Tony Allen (which no body else could do) and the fact that he was 6ft with a relatively slow 40 time and all he had Handles and quickness plus he played on a team with no other threats to score so he was always doubled and he still shot a high percentage....are you serious. If he is Westbrook in OKC with all that talent so they couldn't double him he probably would breach 40ppg
As for Shaq he played Against what is probably the best era of big Man, Olajuwon, Robinson, Ewing, Malone, Kemp, Mutombo, Barkley. , Garnett, Wallace, Ducan. All in there prime during his career (Keep in mind that big Ben Wallace is one of the best post defenders ever in his prime) and Shaq Still Dominated he wasn't a freak athlete like Howard of today of Olajuwon and Kemp and Robinson where he destroyed them was a hook shot and more mature unstoppable post moves that hadn't ever been seen accomplished so. If he hadn't had those last 4 years of almost no production his career numbers would be 29 ppg (Dwight hasn't done that in a season)Record for any center except Wilt...who was an atheletic big man playing against uncoordinated fucks he was only okay against Russell and Kareem without playing in the Era he did I don't know if he would be in the HOF 13 boards(only the worm is better) and 3 blocks (only Mutumbo higher) he is by far the best big man to ever live Next is Olajuwon then either Kareem, Duncan or Malone could not tell you
Tyler Hardwick LeBron, KD and melo haven't fully played their entire careers, so you don't know for sure if LeBron, KD and melo will average 33pts every season
Lebron and Melo are Thirty and haven't done it once lol dumbass
The g.o.a.t in my eyes because he's basically mj with a better jumpshot my top 5: kobe, mj, magic, shaq, lebron
This was amazing. Great Montage! I'm in awe of the perspective you put his career in :)
I love this video thanks for making it
Pause at 4:04. I need this on a poster!
I think Kobe will get one more before he hangs it up ....
vero lopez the last years kobrick was a disgrace to basketball... he should retire now.... every year he keeps playing is getting worse...
yeah he gone get one nxt season! thats y he still playing
Thank you so much Kobe Bryant, for everything.
Probably the greatest video I have ever watched
You guys act like Jordan didnt have help. Kobe had Shaq and MJ had Pippen. Kobe will probably never have a 6th ring but he will retire ahead of MJ statistically. Talk now but mark my words.
tj roldan yo dude you want me to prove kobe dosnt need shaq to win kobe went to 3 finals without shaq and won 2 shaq had 1 final and 1 win without kobe enough said pipen wouldn't be pippen without jordan shaq would be shaq but kobe and mj best players alive right now enough said
Ik lebron had ray allen dwade bosh. So stfu
you still dont get my point
Wait Kobe is not ahead of MJ stat wise?
too bad kobes getting older :(
but he taught us age doesn't matter
Brandon Brown hell ya ..
Edgar Gonzalez i think he's going to retire once he wins another championship, because thats his winning mentality
Brandon Brown But first we have to hire a new coach. Good young players just horrible coach
Edgar Gonzalez I think byron scott is gonna be our new coach
Amazing video.Kobe, a inspiation to generations of aspiring athletes.
Pure class...great video
Going to miss him, kg, and duncan when theybhang em up. Sucks the league is going to be solely in bron's bia hands for a while. He is the most despicable poster child the nba has ever had
lmao was that LeBron getting blocked at 5:00? :D
Mag T Yep hahaha
Lebron is still better than Kobe
Tyrone kilete lmao nice joke
Tyrone kilete Kobe, if for nothing else, is better than Lebron simply because he didn't throw his teammates under the buss the moment things stopped going well.
Kobe actually did throw his teammates under the bus a number a times: for example:shaq
I rarely comment, but this is really nice. Huge Kobe fan. Well done!!!
Tnx for making this man, this is one of my favorite Kobe vids, do some more..... Kobe is the Beast/Best........
Howd he only win one mvp?
LOdragon19 Steve Nash robbed him of MVP one season. Voters were fucking retarded.
Because he sucks
Got robbed by Nash one season
I dont get how he didnt win the one steve nash got like he avg 35 ppg
The MVP Is controlled by the media and of course the rape speculations tainted the perspective people had on him.
you showed us how to ball hog
6000 assists.
Ahmmad K how old are you?
You bogus...lol
More assists then jordan
top 25 in assists rest are point guards
I love Kobe, he's by far the best player I'll personally ever see play basketball
Best video ever!! Great job
dam he ain't die show highlights over the killer not this slow shit lol
I know lol
I really enjoyed this until 4:33...come on, James is clearly better than Kobe, i can tell you why if you respond to my comment. But otherwise, great video.
Youf right LeBron is better than kobe.... but kobe Bryant is no longer in his prime .... prime vs prime LeBron falls miles behind ... kobe had the killer instinct and would noy go down without a fight as for LeBron well you know he tends do disappear in big games
Evodriver Total media bs.
Gamewinners in the playoffs:
Kobe: 7/28(25%)
LeBron: 6/13(46%)
Nikolaj Grünig how many times was the game close and kobe took over where a game winner wasn't needed?
EmpireOps Recon I don't know. Tell me please.
Nikolaj Grünig
countless moments
Wooow greatest motivational video ever it got me hyped up!
great video...the black mamba is already a legend in his own right and will always be one of my favorite players of all-time.
This guy kobe suck . People please don't compare him to Michael Jordan. Michael jordan 6 time world championship& 6 time final MVP AND NEVER LOST A NBA FINAL. Kobe win 3 championship with Shaq & Shaq was the MVP in the 3 championship not kobe. Kobe also lost 2 nba finals...
STFU u dont know basketball
it's not all about the records!!
it is the moment when they play.
the Play of the 2!
you are fucking ignorant. stfu and don't ever watch kobe again.
The fact that you opened your statement saying Kobe sucks ruins any basketball credit you may think you have.
gobucks013 compare him to Jordan . Yeah kobe suck
kinda bull shit he only has 1 mvp
THANK YOU KOBE FOR EVERYTHING
Tried not to cry this whole video. Truly one of the greatest to ever play the game. The closest to Michael
BEAUTIFUL. thats all i can say
Truly 1 of the greatest players of all time that at no time anyone has ever doubted!
really great video and clips!
Greatest Kobe video ever!
