- (2006) "Two-Face".
When Kobe's frustrated, watch out. After serving a 2 game suspension, KB torched Phily for 48pts before playing the Clippers. Kobe has the capacity to make the last shot even if he missed his last 10, or scoring 30pts in the 4th after being scoreless in the 1st three.
So here comes Mr Two-Face in this city rivalry. After a 10pt 1st half on 2 of 12 shooting, Kobe lead his team to a wild win, scoring 40pts after the break with 6 threes. Oh yeah, he made the game winner too. - Sport
people just hate on Kobe. No one in todays game as good as he was. He's Foreal. top 3. & thats on the Court. no hype.
Rigo Valencia forsure man.. all former players and coaches all say kobe is top 5 and closest to Jordan offense and closing wise..
One of the most underrated Kobe games. Caught absolute fire in 3rd and start of 4th. This is a game that I remember watching.
Cozmogramma yup the shots he was hitting might be some of the craziest he ever hit!
Nobody else makes the shots he made here, especially that gamewinner.
RahulPresentsKobe kobe a bad man
RahulPresentsKobe
Man look at the trash we had those years. I still remember all those players I mean wow. 😕
RahulPresentsKobe This is one of my all time favorite Kobe games due to how hot he got in the 2nd half...Those shots he was hitting!!! CRAZY!!!
The greatest player of all time period.
Greatest of all time!
Chill
lol
+Niczer0 top 3 ever
lol Kobe fans are a special bunch
Rafael Mertin
Kobetards are a special bunch of mentally challenged special people lmao
I'm a Clippers fan since the Danny Manning days.Give Kobe his props this was an amazing performance.I saw this game live on TV and he broke my heart.that's what he supposed to do.Its Kobe one of the best to ever dribble a basketball ,Nuff Said
kobe may not be the best basketball player ever,but he is undoubtedly the most skilled basketball player of all time and the hardest working basketball player of all time
Jordan didn't become the greatest by talent alone. That man worked every bit as hard as kobe and changed his game several times. I would say he is up there, but not the single hardest working player ever.
If you watch Jordan's games in the late 80s and early 90s Kobe will look like a lazy bum compared to how hard Jordan played every game.
Khmer Rouge kobe came out of highschool and was very young -_-
I'm glad he didn't work on his 3's. It would've hurt his game just like it does Lebrons and Kobes.
Andrew Norimatsu ur crazy bro nobody in the history of basketball was in the gym more than Kobe Bryant.
Best player ever
Kobe should be the definition of on fire, because when he get's it going there is no stopping him, and the difference between kobe and KD and Melo is that kobe can make the most difficult shots, he doesn't need to be open nor does he need any space, these guys do.
2-12 in first half. stats dont tell u he got 40 in 2nd half. meanwhile kobe haters say he not top5 but ask players that went against him say otherwise
Kobe might not have the best career of all time (MJ, Russell, Kareem) but he is the best player of all time. 2006 was his best year
I mean that last shot to win the game is just ridiculous AND a no call on the reach in before the shot.. what a monster
Universal 4 guys were guarding him hahahaha
Kobe is the best all around player of all time
lol
👍👍
love you GOAT!!!! Think about you every day. you made growing up so much better!!!!!! REST IN HEAVEN LEGEND
Kobe is not a ball hog,his confidence in making shot no matter what missed or shoot is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Goat gonna goat
- 8 straight field goals in the 2nd Quarter vs Phila was in finals
- 36pts + game winner vs New Jersey in 2002 FINALS.
- 2 buzzer beaters vs Phoenix in last year playoffs.
42pts vs San Antonio in 2004.
Strong teams and all in playoffs. Whoa!!!
Those are not weak teams!!
Not to mention, the greatest work ethic in NBA history.
You must not know how to play basketball if you fail to realize how hard it is to drop 50, let alone 40. The most I've ever scored in highschool was 38 against a really good St.Mary's varsity team. And that was hard being doubled teamed and all that. The shots that Kobe was hitting are absolutely crazy. Only Kobe and Jordan can do this.
+Lou Varela true, i play bball also and man i understand completely how crazy these shots are to get 50
MJ has never hit shots like these wtf are you smoking.... MJ would never take these shots.... he'd work to get smart ones. Have you ever seen him?
not smoking the gabrage youre smoking because MJ took tough shots. sit down somewhere
Lou Varela
No, he worked to get easy ones, young buck
Rafael Mertin yes he did your absolutely right .
Goat
Unreal. This guy is absolutely unreal. He did and is doing things absolutely nobody else can or will ever do.
INCREDIBLE GAME THANKS.
One of my very favorites kobe games ever. Thnx
he dropped 55 in the second half when he scored 81 points against the raptors february 22nd, 2006 man... he's THE scorer.
Kobe is kobe,that's it! He has something that MJ doesn't have,the explosiveness is unbelievable!
Game 6 of the Pacers series: 10-27 FG, 3-6 3PT, 29 pts, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks.
Game 5 of the Philly series(All-pro defender Allen Iverson/Eric snow): 28 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 8-17 FG.
Games 3 and 4 of the Nets series(W/All-1st Defensive Team Guard JASON KIDD): 62 points, 13 rebounds, 13 assists, 5 blocks,21/39 FG.
ALL OF THESE WERE ON THE ROAD AND TO CLOSE OUT SERIES. That's Kobe for you.
Many games are missing at the moment:
- 45 in WCF vs the Spurs in 2001
- 36pts 9rbds & 8asts in game 3 of that same series.
- 48pts & 16rbds vs Sacramento in 2001 playoffs.
- game 4 heroics vs Indiana was in finals.
- 25pts 11rbds 7asts 4blks (all lead team) in game 7 vs Portland in 2000.
No one in the history of the game went on consistent scoring sprees like this hitting ridiculous shot after shot, #2 all time still hopefully gettin that # 1 spot if he can get another chip
When Kobe scored 81 he had 55pts in the second half making that the most points ever in a second half, also his team trailed by 19 I believe in that game. Against Jordan back in Jordan's old days, Kobe put 42 on him in the first half!!!!
agreed, not even jordan could make shots like this.
Cap
@@koby208 no 🧢. MJ could only dream of shootin like this.
fatboyRAY24 wym dream he did shoot like that, Kobe get his shooting from Jordan, stop it
@@koby208 Mike was not shooting no pull up fadeaway 3's bruh, let alone tryna to pop that shit with a dude in his face 30 feet from the basket. you buggin bruh
fatboyRAY24 man you better do your research and check them highlights, mid 90s jordan was definitely pulling up deep
i was actually at this game when i was 14 (sitting in the nose-bleeders section)
one of the best experiences of my life
Anytime kobe had a bad half... lord have mercy on whoever is guarding him the second half 🙏
I wonder what was going through the mind of Kobe in 2006. He dropped points like I've never seen before! He is AMAZING!
I seriously can't thank you enough, mamba9381, for uploading these videos. The number of insane shots Kobe hits in each of these games is astounding. I mean he's probably hit more amazing shots in this game alone than Lebron has in his entire career.
His own home crowd is booing and cheering for him at the same time.
It’s the clippers home court in that game so technically he’s on the road
The best offensive player ever... after watching this tape.. There is literally no Weakness to his offensive game.. and He's been at this level so long... How can you refute this??
that is amazing...kobe is all of the above...in the zone...
kobe hits the toughest shots in history....i love mj but kobe is ridiculous
"bad shot selection" green release though. that's my boy kobe.
he literally won this game by himself
He stole the manhood out of the commentator’s voice leading to that epic caliber “what a FiNish” at the end
In the 05-06 season he didn't struggle very often. The scoring average speaks for itself and there are numerous games where he had 30-40 points.
OH MY GOD...just AMAZING
man i would never think Kobe would finish a game with 50 after finishing the first half with 10.
40 in one in 2nd half. DAMN!
G.o.a.t.
there is nobody and I repeat NOBODY in the HISTORY of the game, who can take over a basketball game like this at the end of the game when it matters most (clutch). Not even Michael Jordan (let's be honest)
kobe before the knee injuries and the hand injuries and of course father time!!! nobody cux with kobe!!!! best in tha league!!!!
RIP Kobe
Kobe the fuckin goat 🐐
-Bryant...BINGO!
This is the last game I saw Kobe play at staples, I was sitting behind the lakers bench.
C J wow lucky! I saw it on tv lol and I was going crazy
I think this is his best game ever. ALL TIME.
Best assessment of the difference between MJ and KB I've ever seen.
the one year my clippers were relevant in their entire franchise... Hope next year will go better than 19 wins...
Good lord,how any basketball fan could find the words to hate on this guy just amazes me.I mean the footwork,the focus,the ability to receive the "quickening"is very different from going into the so called zone,he got his from slaying MJ in their final battle,same as MJ slayed Bird and Magic.Only those who seize power from another Great One can achieve this level of skill.Any player pro or otherwise that has ever been in a zone knows he aint never been hot like this over and over again.
i remember watching this game, it left me in awe like no other game before that point. and i used to considered it kobes best game ever when you take in account the shots he was hitting esp the shots he was hitting earlier in the 4th and he had a game winner!
Fearless
What a Finish!!! Helluva a game Bryant just unreal re watching the amount of Difficulty on these shots were just downright insane the man had a Hand in his face no less! Unreal 💯
HOW can hescore 40 in 1 half?! CRAZY! I would NEVER have thought Kobe would go for 50 after only scooring 10 in the first half!
50 against this clippers team was defnitely impressive. Especially considering that this Clippers team was one of the top Western conference team at the time (Got to the Western COnference simi finals...Drove the Suns 7 games) Hate is the sincerest form of flattery they say. Anyone that can watch this and not see the beauty of it is a HATER lol
Anybody that had to face Kobe in 05 or 06 you be in for long day
and they are saying lebron is greater than kobe?? i don't think so!
We were talking about things that Kobe had that MJ never had.
kobe💔
BIIIINNGGOOO!!!
lol at 1:05
"blow for cassell, Kamen already getting his blow"
YES he is!
Excluding Robertson, Magic and MJ and Kobe in 02-03, history shows that no guard/forward can play at that level for a whole season without either getting hurt or getting fatigued.
greatest ever
Dont forget
-Game 3 of the Philly series: 35 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, 14-30 FG
And you can't call Allen Iverson, Eric Snow, or Raja Bell below average perimeter defenders.
Im sorry but Lebron cannot do this. He may have a few times but not this consistently.
ok, I can appreciate your comments because it sounds like you actually pay attention to the game and don't talk out of your head. Though I will start by saying that he has the greatest work ethic in NBA history is extremely subjective and there is no way of measuring that. Second, If you watch a playoff game against the Knicks in 93...game four in which he scored 54 points, MJ twice jab stepped from beyond the three point line and drained two threes in Stark's face. Third, MJ was very adept
and not even he could kill you from deep like Kobe could.
kobe is the reason that being efficient is overrated. kobe was off during the beginning and start firing it up. wats the big deal missin shos early in a game if ur goin dominate later in games?
because you cant always bank on this type of second half, if he wouldnt have made the final shot, his disastrous efficiency would have killed them.... its not overrated simply because shooting 50% is more beneficial to a team than shooting 45%
Rafael Mertin I dont care about that. He miss shots cuz he missed them. Dumb ass triangle offense is cancer as fuck.
I'm the biggest kobe fan there is, but u are lame
I agree on that..gotta be the shoes!
As for 2004, in games 1 and 2 he played well, his teammated just got locked down. In game 1, Shaq had 33 and Kobe had 27 (11-26). Nobody else got more than 5 points outside of Gary Payton(7). That's not their fault. That's just great defense.
@ryanrayonec
The thing with Kobe is, Kobe doesn't look to get open shots. He likes taking the toughest shots in the league and even Phil Jackson mentioned that. Michael liked to get open and could hit tough shots, but Kobe looks to take tough shots all the time. Two different players, similiar mentality.
I agree. He took 41 shots to get 50 points lmao. That's hard as hell to do because most guys' elbows would burst taking that many bad shots. Anyone can put together a clip of all of somebody's made shots and make him look like the GOAT.
Hey Folks. I’ve said this before but I guess it bears repeating. “Sometimes, the other guy’s just better than you”! That was Kobe Bryant. RIP Kobe 🙏🏽
I can agree with you on that.
with their new aquisitions the lakers are matched up with the heat very well and even if the heat making the finals i see us raising our 17th banner and tying the celtics for most ever
not the best player ever, but longevity + ridiculous commitment to his craft + hero ball + carrying the league after MJ + the amount of difficult shots he makes and the beauty in them make us kobe fans , kobe fans forever. lest us kobe fans keep thinking he is the best , don't forget that these youtube highlights are his makes in the game, its not showing his misses and cold spells
to BRUCE: when a player scores 40pts in a half with 6 threes in a 5minute span + hits the game winner in the same game, of course it's a great game. If Wayde or Lebron does it, it would be "the performance of the month!!" but as it's Kobe who did it, it's a fuc...g game...right??
I've made these videos for Kobe fans, not to top hoops or anyone else. If you don't like Kobe, just don't watch dude!
But for your personal culture, he did have many great games too.
What a FINish 4:26
OH MY!!! I can't let you those crap, I just can't!! You say that 91% of MJ 50pt games or vs good or great or legendary teams.
But if you consider the fact that New Jersey in 87 (24-58), Denver in 92 (24-58), Orlando in 90 (18-64) or the Bullets in 92 (25-57) were great teams, we have an issue here!!
@megatroll I'm 18 and aware enough to know how legendary Larry was. This guy got bored and decided to lay the ball up with his left hand only' and still dropped 40+ that game. If thats not the stuff of legend idk what is.
The whole Hollywood crowd was impressed.
Lmaooo @ shaun livingston begging to guard kobe he gone give u buckets too
fucking nuts cant believe i never saw this before
goat
yeah Jordan was consistently great thats what makes him better imo
that's right ! bro
- Ability to jab step behind the three-point line, pull up for the three and swish it in a defenders face.
- The Yo-Yo Move.
- Most complete footwork and deceptive moves in his offensive arsenal.
- Flawless ambidexterity even from mid-range.
- Ability to score from ANYWHERE on the floor. (MJ was a weak three point shooter most of his career)
- Dominating without being the most athletic guy (40 inch vertical at best), having huge hands or a wide body frame or being the fastest guy out there.
when was kobes break out yr like when everyone said damn this dude is the next greatest thing? like 03 cause he still hadent developed the dominace of his jumper yet until like 04 05 then people started to realzie this dude is a bad man
that 2nd half showed a glimpse of what he could do. I was personally omg'ing the whole time. that one shot at 1:56 were he goes between the legs and fades and cocks back the shot over his head and drains it... i couldn't believe that shit
@zSolitary
He went 2 for 12 in the first half, took over the game in the second half, won the game in the second half...and shot over 50% in the second half.
Last post...I just wanted to make sure I addressed all of your points...the point about the footwork is kind of subjective as well. Anybody who destroyed opponents in the post the way that Mike did can't hardly be considered second fiddle in the footwork department but again, when comparing the two, I can't see anything related to footwork that Kobe did that Mike didn't do. Even the reverse pivot spin that Kobe did against the Knicks; Mike did that against the bullets and hit off the glass.
And as for Lebron this season, let's see how he does in May before we start talking about how great he is.
And yes there was also a period of time where Mike was no longer the athletic beast that he was and still dominated so that is not an advantage that Kobe has. Let's just keep in mind that as similar as they are to one another, they still went about using aspects of their games diffrently and though either one may not have used the exact same methods all of the time, it does not mean that one could not do what they the other did. My only point was that the things that Kobe did, Mike did as well
I love how every big scoring game he has they always win that game otherwise what's the point?
