- (2003) Kobe scored 40pts vs Portland - his 8th straight game with at least 40.
Date: February 21th, 2003
Results: L.A won 92 - 84
Stats: 40pts on 15/32 shooting incl 3/7 from 3pt line, 7rbds
Peach: O'Neal was back after missing 3 games but once again Kobe was the story. No matter which player was garding him (Pippen, Patterson or Wells), he just kept scoring.
Quote: "Kobe's playing at an unbelievable level! I think I'm an all-right defender & Ruben Patterson is an alright defender, but he still made us like we were no defenders."
Bonzy Wells, Portland TrailBlazers.
Anecdote: Limited to 38pts, Kobe hit his final shot with 8 seconds remaining, giving him 40 for the 8th straight time. - Sport
seriously how did he not win the mvp this year????
This was the beggining of the end for the whole Shaq and Kobe combo.
That last play was crazy, you could tell they really didn’t want him to get 40 so they doubled him and he still found a way to score and keep the streak going. Best offensive player ever
have u seen kobe's offensive explosions??? 81 points, most 3 pointers in a game, youngest to reach 20,000 while still not playing a lot during his early years, 4 straight 50 point games, 9 straight 40 point games!!!! and outscored the mavs in 3 quarters!!!!
Kobe at 34 years old > Lebron at any age
this was 9 YEARS AGO...where has time gone
Actually 9 in a row....AND he had 11 straight 35+ point games. Along with his 4 straight 50 point games :)
Just unbelievable
im a kobe fan.
I wish that kobe was this energetic and had this kind of thing every game before he will retire. and how did drose get mvp this year out of all teams wen kobe got it wen he played in the allstar game?!? And i bet kobe is still this energetic and fun as this but just wants the money in the world. i believe that kobe can
- take flight
-rise above all
-change the game
- and become a legend
Just like Michael Jordan
Kobe is basically our generation Michael Jordan.
daaamn that last shot is crazy
kobe bryant is a friend of mine.
DAM if only the KOBE from today would of been like this....but with the mentality of the 09 Lakers
He BOOMED ON PIPPEN! what? why have i never seen this in a highlight
listen guys, i grew up watching and loving michael jordan. He's the greatest player of his time. Kobe is now the greatest player of his time. bottom line is this....mj was too much for the nba in his time. kobe is not as much for the nba now as jordan was in his prime with the bulls. without mj there wouldn't be a kobe or a lebron. these guys gotta give props to mj for doing what he did and for preparing the way for players like we see today. mj revolutionize the nba that's why he's the goat.
kobe has propably one of the best (if not the best) pull up jumper but he is way slower than MJ in his prime that's why he rarely drives to the basket.
Just take a look at young Jordan and his unbeliveable quickness and acceleration.
0:57...we never gonna se this again
totally agree!
If Snaq didn't come back that season Kobe could have avg at least 32 or 33 ppg.
Yes, Kobe is and was a far more creative player on the court. you just dont know what hes going to do at any given second of any game you watch him play. Sometimes the more injured he is the more amazing the shot or play.
@EjJj1823 Kobe will end up as the 2nd GREATEST ever.MJ's the greatest,but I got more joy watching Kobe Bryant step on the court.
dude Kobe shooting range on offensive end all most anywhere on the court and on the defensive one on one he always made great plays/blocks create turnovers his whole career especially in the cluch so I think you're bit off on your judgments, plus ones a small forwd and bigger he have to cover more space especially on the inside but on the perimeter d Kobe got him no question!
@FuddleDuddle24 oh yes,and a reverse and i didnt expect that but im a truly kobe fan
Even better :)
funny thing about it is that kobe wasnt even in his prime when shaq was there...he was what only 23... lol thats the same age russell westbrook is, Kobe was just that damn good at such a young age, had a grown mans game coming in to the league, could cross you up, dunk over you, shoot over you, and give you the business in the post and lock down your best perimeter guy smh
goat
when kobe is in this sort of zone, its just impossible to guard him.
the only reason kobe only averages 25points is because he didn't play a lot his first few years. If you take those years off he would have a larger scoring avg. I also agree that Kobe is a better Offensive player. Jordan is better all around but i think kobe is a better offensive player. Kobe has to play against a lot harder defenses than jordan did. remember that zone defense wasn't even allowed when jordan played! this is only my opinion!
this is 2002 03 yo he was olny 23 he avg 40pts this month he did all this
Kobe in his prime was a lot better than Lebron period!
That and the lift in his legs...though your comment is a year old and Kobe is playing younger now than he did 4 years ago. The guy is a physically healing freak age defier lol
only problem is kobe's field goald prcnt.i agree with ya about other things you wrote!
0:07 If you look closely you can see that Kobe passed the ball. :O
Kobe in death still better than LB
This vid is good for the Kobe haters saying that lebron is better than Kobe was at 23 years old. This is what Kobe did every game. Obviously some games he would have to share points with shaq just bcuz shaq WAS that dominating. Kobes shot and foot work was wayyy better than lebrons at 23/24! People gta stop being ignorant and not talk unless they know what they're saying.
What correction?
@JanVesely95 Kobe did something like that against Lebron in the All-Star Game...
great player...better 3point shooter than mj
oh yeah!!!!! anytime u read bout kobe & shaq u read that kobe and shaq led the lakers to a three-peat never hear them say shaq led or kobe helped shaq lead no remember i can see shaq like damn i goota step it up 2 lead
the game in New York,lakers was not leading well in the first half also 3rdQ. i think that he did that bc he hurt bynum in the last game...that's my view...
TheNam...u saying kobe doesn't have defense? Kobe is a legit lockdown defender. He's not a 9 time all team defender for no reason. Who was the main man on D in the Olympic team too? Kobe can play D without a doubt.
he did drive the baskt back then and u pointing out incidents of mj demostrating his true athleticism he wasnt lways runnig and jumping u cud wasily find a video of kobe looking lik usai bolt chasin a ball down but yea mj is the best
Lebron has one 40 point game the media goes wild... kobe does 8 fucking times in a row? still no RESPECT
he might have just let the ball hit the ground on the pass but yeah it looks like a double dribble
alright dude i wasn't trying to step on anybody's toes. did u read my last sentence? i said it was only my opinion. just calm down. i know he wasn't that good but he also didn't play a lot cuz young players were looked down upon at the time and his coach didnt let him play a lot.
i like how Kobe dunked on Pippen at the 2:00 mark of this video
LOL pippen anouther Kobe hater!
lol when ever Kobe put up a shot everyone just started walking the other way, they knew he was gonna make it! For all those Lebron fans out there u can say hes better when he get 4 games 50+, 8 games 40+, 11 games 35+
Kobe was a BEAST back then.... but at 23 I'm still taking Lebron.
@aj1flash lol...it's the truth isn't it? Shaq's days of dominance are loooong gone, lol.
Right now LeBron is better than Kobe. But Kobe in his prime was killer, way better than LeBron, at least today. Maybe LeBron can improve more his game.
Look at Shaq at the end of the game. Totally bitter, you can tell a lot of the drama and the reason he and Kobe fought was his own jealousy.
@arthurfrancis82 More joy watching Kobe than Jordan?lmao!!!!
this is 02-03. kobe was 24. just sayin
my point? o im sorry let me explain... he broke some of jordan's records! (offensive ones)
lol...kobe better than jordan? are you serious? you know how many players have done things that jordan never did, but you don't hear anyone saying that they're better than jordan because of those things. mj have 6 rings, 6 finals mvp awards, 5 regular season mvp awards, lead the bulls to a 72 win season in 1996 and then a 69 win season the next, he lead the nba in scoring 10 times, shot over 50% a number of years, he won the mvp and the defensive player of the year award in the same season...plz
i only listed a few OFFENSIVE records. i know jordan has more records than kobe.
pippen doesnt' like kobe
survey says........WRONG ANSWER!! KOBE IS GREAT DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT BETTER THEN MJ? TRY AGAIN.
jordan was so fast..lol'''horrible!!! young t-mac was also fast like mj..kobe is not that type of player.he dun hv the best body,but his skill can against mj..but mj still better...a little bit better...i love kobe bc of his love of basketball
haha thats one of the most ridiculous things ive heard in a while
@protoj01 Kobe Bryant is 5 Rings & 1,000,000 times better than Lebron James.
