- (2004) 38pts - 37 in the 2nd half while shutting down Tracy McGrady with great defense
Kobe didn't hit a single basket in the first half. TMac appeared to go on another scoring outburst with 32pts through three quarters.
Kobe started to find his rythm entering the 4th with L.A trailing by 15. The result?
A 4th quarter to remember, with Kobe scoring a then franchise record 24pts while playing terrific defense on McGrady, limited the Magic star to only 5pts.
The game went to OT and despite Kobe scoring explosion, his biggest play may have been his assist to Payton's big three in the final minute to take the lead - and the thrilling victory.

I love 81, 65, 62 in 3 quarters, 42 in one half against MJ, and 60 to finish his career... but this is my favorite Kobe game. 37 in the 2nd half and shutting down t Mac in his prime. We'll never see another Kobe
Say what you want about Kobe Bryant, nobody in NBA HISTORY gets as HOT as Kobe Bryant. "Kobe Fire" is really a different kind of fire. We will never see someone as offensively gifted (not to say kobe wasn't an elite defender for 12 straight years) and with the most offensively evolved game for the next 100 years. Pure fundamental and skill meets STEEZ. Respect the legend...NBA will NOT be the same when he is gone. Enjoy it while it last
I have to agree with that stats don't lie although he may not be as consistent as Jordan while both in their Prime, Kobe holds a higher record with most points in a half than Jordan, Kobe scored 62 points in 3 quarters, showed us a point streak that only happened during Wilt chamberlean's era. And you know I'm forgetting the most important part which is 81. And even now with the league being much more designed for offense no one has broken Kobe's 81 point game. | watched Klay Thompsons's 60 points in 3 quarters, it was a joke so many wide open shots and easy baskets unlike Kobe's 62. The closest thing would be Bookers 70 point game and that's it.
zakim3O facts
Klay Thompson is scarier
kobe is one of a kind. the greatest ever
At the start of the fourth quarter, kobe said to mike miller “you know the difference between him and me?” “I’m just getting started.”
Most people don't know that this game was the beginning of the Black Mamba.
Stu Lantz is the best commentator. He makes watching Lakers games THAT much enjoyable.
How quickly they all forget
38 pts on a fucked up shoulder he the goat
And it was the day his wife threw out all his clothing from his house. He didn't score 1 pt in 1st half bc the shoulder. He scored 1pt because he didn't want to be there. His head was all messed up. Then at halftime, he said screw it. Basketball is my haven, and like that the Black Mamba was born.
Jon K Shoutout The Jump
This is the game he became the Black Mamba
This is the game that T-Mac says he helped create "The Black Mamba!"
KOBE 🐐🐐🐐🐐
kobe is the goat
Lebron's fans didn't see games of Kobe and Tmac in their prime, so they always say Lebron is the best player. I confirm young Kobe and Tmac can beat Lebron in their prime every games
Lebron is a different player he is a Magic Johnson who can score. Please don't compare him to Kobe and Tmac which are pure breed dominant scorers. But would have loved to see all three in their primes going at each other that would be a Golden day for the NBA.
I remember that game well my favorite Kobe game almost 20 yrs. TMac was lighting the Lakers up,they really needed Kobe that night and he stood up to TMac from 1 PT in first half to 37 pts in the second one of the few who could match TMac in scoring.
Man TMac was 6' 8 so he was a beast.
TOP 5 GOAT, whether you like it or not
gary bush lmao wilt played in the weakest era ever. Kobe >>>>>>> wilt all day. Would be a nobody in kobe's era
Bitch. Everyone would have those numbers. Mj kobe lebron dwade. It's like mj playin against Highschool players. Fuck outta here weak shit era he played in
gary bush nah. Can't put wilt or russel over kobe and lebron cuz they would have murdered everyone in this weak ass era
+Nate Rivers bruh i understand what you're saying they would definitely murder in that era. but look up old videos of wilt. the moves look basic and even sloppy at times but the freakish athleticism and the blocks and rebounds even if it was against white boys who couldnt jump was impressive. 50pts and 25 rebounds. i don't care what era it is Kobe Lebron or Wade couldn't average that in a season. Wilt to me is top ten and the greats are to be respected in my opinion. If you watch larry bird in the 3 point contest you'll see that he would do just fine in this era as dirk did being a weak defender. Magic was a wizard and a man who could score 38 thousand off of a hook shot from 15 to twenty feet would still dominate now because you can't block the shot. Wilt was 7'2 could bench 600 when he was with the lakers and when he was with the sixers could jump from the freethrow line same as Bill Russell. With this era's trainors?!?! They'd be top players in the league.
+gary bush wilt was trash in the playoffs
classic WOW kobe vs tmac! you don't see match ups like that high flyers
Respect greatness, Kobe Bryant is the best scorer since George gervin
Kobe recent interview
I always wanted to see you play Tracy McGrady.
"I played T-Mac. I cooked him. Roasted him. Wasn’t even close. Ask him, he’ll tell you. When I was about 20, we were in Germany doing some promotional stuff for that other sneaker company and we played basketball everyday. We were in the gym all the time. We played three games of one-on-one to 11. I won all three games. One game I won 11-2. After the third game he said he had back spasms and couldn’t play anymore."
-Kobe
Here He Comes! lol...classic!
Wth...Kobe playing left handed in these highlights and killed it.
the greatest player in my generation
birth of the black mamba
See, this is why Kobe is one of the greats. He can have a 0 or 1 point first half and turn on the switch just like that and take over in the second half when they needed it the most and score 30+ points in the second half.
Still remember watching this game. T-Mac was torching the Lakers all night, then Kobe went FUCKING NUCLEAR 🕊🐍💜💛🫡
Nevaaahh!!! Eva eva eva evahhh... Eva evaaahhh!!!... Count THE “BLACK MAMBA” out of any basketball game!!! He can kill you with one strike!!!! The one and only true best all around player, defensively and especially as a scorer that has ever played this game!!!! All need to truly respect his GAME!!! This was truly passion mixed with hard work ethic and determination for his career/job/living!!!
That young man is Amazing
This game was 17 years ago today.
Damn not even McGrady wanted to step up and TRY to guard “The BLACK MAMBA”!!! All competitors FEARED KOBE!!!
Magic trash team not allow TMAC to do so, he can not take care both offensively and defensively.
I still remember this game very well. Those two back to back baseline jumpers at the end of the 4th had me going nuts in my living room, he was just making everything.
I agree completley drewson, everyones talking about lebron right now, but just 2 or 3 years ago kobe was the best player and he was getting all the hype, i think what it boiles down to is personality, i think they both have different ways of going about their business
What a great fucking era for Bball
The commentating was awesome.
this vid is in favor of kobe despite of good plays of tmac's done in this game, that's unfair buddy but thanks for the video w/ tmac, keep it up
this was badass game
smh 37 pts and two quarters and LeBron is better smh. nooooooo kobe is the closest thing to Mike
As far as consistency goes Lebron is the closest to Mike statwise more than Kobe but that is because Kobe was bombarded with injuries late in his carrier. With that said Even Jordan in his prime could not score 62 points in 3 quarters and 81 points. So I'd like to say Kobe in the modern Era was the most Explosive offensive player even today.
If T-Mac stayed healthy he would've been the best in the game right now
I'm here from Ramona's piece.
jordan
kobe
everyone else
🐐
TMac scored 37pts in that game - 33 through the first three quarters.
idol
those were the days
he's not old he's younger than kobe he got back problems and that slowed down his career
i hope your joking, t-mac scored 33 pts in the first 3 quarters. kobe usually would guard him but he just came off a shoulder injury so phil put george on him for the first three quarters and t-mac just went crazy. but then at the start of the 4th kobe went to phil and told him to put him on t-mac and he shut t-mac down and held him to only like 4 points and he scored 20 something points on the offensive end in one quarter............case closed
Yep but this Kobe's channel dude. I'm sure you can find the whole game on torrents sites or whatever.
McGrady = Owned
lol i think you're on the wrong video. But if you're talking about that 97 game in chicago, kobe certainly showed mj a thing or two. No business was given either way, true. But 10 of kobe's points were with mj guarding him and vs 6 by mj. It was a fun match up that we should have seen more of since Shaq/pippen were out and the starters were playing pretty poorly for LA.
well, it shows highlights in the 4th quarter and tmac only had 4 points in 4th quarter
I'm here because of Ramona Shelburnes article
Lol me too
mama there goes that man
a win is a win.
shit...!!! that was awesome. never saw this game b4
Epic block at 6:00!!
Damn, those Laker girls are lookin mighty fine.
that is the game to me that has ended the debate between kobe and t.mac.
t.mac at his best is more talented that kobe.they both have jordan-like games but t-mac(again at his best) has more natural habilites..scores more easier.
but the difference between the two is mentally,kobe is stronger in his head,more ambitious,works harder,more will to win and to shine...and that performance particularly was just crazy.
the way,he challenged t-mac offense and defense,took over in the money time,crazy...
this what iv been saying kobe has heart will to win a champion ship. but tmac has all that natural talent skills scores more easier. if u put kobe lebron tmac on the same team Tmac would take more shots and would score easier. while lebron kobe making play and score too
Who is here from the facebook Thing?
real shit
Kobe easily gets the edge over T-Mac when both of them were in there primes, but because T-Mac is a couple years younger he would've been better then Kobe right now...Maybe Lebron too!
That laker team was great but to much injuries dat year pistons beat us kobe trail after dat shaq left fish left but kobe became a full blown man in this game
This is the game where Vanessa kicked him out of the 🏡
Y'all make it sound like kobe gave mike the business here. I reality majority of Kobe's points came from garbage minutes when MJ was sitting and the Bulls backup guards were defending Kobe. The Rook did have one good play on mike though to his credit.
The careeer tmac wouldve had if he had the help kobe had throughout his career sheesh
***** if my grandma had a handlebar she'd be a bicycle.
tmac had enough to at least win a 1st round series in a very weak eastern conference. he never won a series!
+BeefPapa which series are you referring to in the east?
2001 vs the Bucks big three Ray Allen, Sam Cassell and Glen Robinson who almost made it to the finals that year
macs numbers 33 8 and
2002 vs the Hornets with Baron Davis, Jamal Mashburn, Elden Campbell
macs numbers 30 5 and 6
or 2003 vs Detroit the #1(won the finals following year) seed with the top defense and players like Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace(4 time defense player of the year) Rasheed Wallace
macs numbers 31 5 and 7
mind you Tmacs best teammate during this stretch were Mike Miller and Drew Gooden
I'll wait
ethi0nz
i stopped at elden campbell.
ethi0nz REAL SHIT! he's never been favored to win a round and he usually went CRAZY in the playoffs.
If you're trying to say, "if t Mac had Shaq" just stop. It's not that simple.. Shaq played with Steve Nash, Lebron, and Paul Pierce and never won anything with them. Kobe winning was because of how good he is. Not him getting "help" from somebody. Same with Wade in 06.
This is after he got in a fight with his wife and came out scoring
T-MAC the only one who disliked this video?
kobe arm injuries ?
First off, i have no intention of arguing with you.
Second, I don't see how what you said are related to the C's kicking the Lakers' collective asses.
...........uh ok whatever u say man
if 6 rebounds, 4 assist, 2 blks & 16 pts in the 2nd half is being shut down, i don't know what shut down is anymore. when t-mac performed a shot attempt while being defended by kobe, t-mac was 2/5 for 6 pts and drawn a foul twice on kobe. when t-mac was being defended by someone else in the 2nd half t-mac was 4/12 for 10 pts. it looks to me someone else shut him down. can you say t-mac had a bad game?
Kobe Jordan Michael Bryant looks like someone is a dumbass. know your facts. is like saying t-mac dropped 38 pts on kobe. how many times did kobe actually defend t-mac when t-mac scored. or when they said kobe dropped 53 on t-mac. t-mac got scored on twice by kobe and the rest was on battier. know your shit.
Kobe Jordan Michael Bryant your dumb. if you want to bring stats. t-mac in his first 10 years of his career to kobe first 10 years. t-mac beats kobe in every category besides free throws. and kobe admit that t-mac was his toughest matchup. just stop embarrassing yourself.
Kobe Jordan Michael Bryant when you said statistically. Are you slow. Kobe better team chemistry? Ok im not arguing with you any more. Kobe a ball hog you call that chemistry? tmac actually gets his team involved and doesnt shoot as much as kobe. Stop it. You embarrassing yourself.
Kobe Jordan Michael Bryant So Stats doesn't introduce Statistically? wow your dumb.lol. kobe never made kwame brown good. kwame averaging 7.4 pts a game is good? t-mac made miller and garrity top 2 best three point shooters as a orlando magic franchise and got miller the rookie of the year by getting him involved. once they left their percentage went down. yao averaged 18 pts for 3 years. once tmac joined. yao got up to 25pts a game. stop. same amount as kobe. kobe led the league in shots 6 times. t-mac "0" hahahaha. get your shit right. and t-mac averaged over 20 shots 6 times in his career. kobe did it 12 times. stop saying things without a support. top 10? who was top 2 players in the league before t-mac ggot injured? kobe and t-mac it was the biggest debate in nba history for consecutive years. grammar? ok because this is english class. gtfoh. stop embarrassing yourself. it doesn't take multiple people to be in a chat to embarrass yourself.haha. stop it.
your dumb that's because t-mac is not a ball hog he actually passes the ball
kobe vs t-mac (shot attempts)
1997-1998
391/913=(ballhog) / 179/398
362/779= (ballhog/ 168/385

813/1757=(Ballhog) / 638/1480
775/1690=(Ballhog) / 548/1307
I can see why Kobe Averages more points than t-mac.lmfao. im sure if t-mac shot more than kobe he will average more points per game just like he did only 3 times. so stop it look at how many more shot attempt kobe had that doesn't mean kobe better scorer he just shoot way too much. led the league 6 times in most shots attempted in a season.haha.pathetic
no.....theres no t-mac plays becuz there wasnt any, t-mac only scored 5 points in the 4th quarter lol
wtf did the announcer say from 9:18 - 9:23?????
So much for Shaq carrying KOBE!!! 🖕🏼🤪
kobe was no side kick too shaq.
not one time did I see shaq make a clutch play this game.
Why cause even shaq said kobe a beast no sidekick smh, if kobe was a sidekick shaq would have been screaming for the ball this game.
LIKE JORDAN DID WHEN EVER PIPPEN TOOK TO MANY SHOTS.
OR WHEN MIKE WAS CALLING FOR THE BALL.
AND PIPPEN WOULD GIVE HIM THE BALL THAT'S A SIDE KICK SMH.
WHEN SHAQ SCREAM FOR THE BALL KOBE WOULD TELL HIM WORK FOR IT, IF NOT I'M TAKING OVER THAT'S NOT A SIDEKICK!
THAT'S A ALPHA MALE SMH LA ALL DAY IF KOBE WAS A SIDE KICK HE WOULD HAVE NEVER WON TWO MORE RINGS WITH OUT SHAQ HANDS DOWN!
Yeah it really annoys me when people say Shaq carried Kobe as much as Kobe would not win a 3 straight without Shaq much can also be said vise versa.
cheerleaders r hot
