Kobe wore the Jordan 8's 2 weeks prior to this game. Jordan told him "You can wear my shoes but you could never fill them." *This game was Kobe's response.* #MambaMentality 🐍
KEEP ON REFERING ABOUT MAMBA MENTALITY...... JORDAN WAS THE ORIGINAL ..AND ITS CALLED , . KILLER MENTALITY.....
Kobe is a poor man's Jordan. No disrespect, because he's a top 10 player, but Jordan would do this in the playoffs.
Avril Lavigne Jordan competition was nothing like Kobe. Kobe has the best draft class in history and has more hall of famers than Jordan even seen.
@@dariusslay279 Wrong!
@@dariusslay279 1984 was a much better draft than 1996.
One of his best. His relentless and infectious spirit lives on forever. RIP
Lol how quick they forget how deadly of a scorer kobe could be, now they got this durants the best scorer bs, kobe almost had durants career high in a half .. let that sink in for a second and I dont wanna hear any efficiency nonsense cuz he scored like 30 pts in 5 mins or so, im paraphrasing but u get the point, this is just insane ..
YoungWlilly in the 2nd half against the raptors he did score 55 pts 1 more point the Durant's career high and 6 pts shy of LeBron's career high and matching exactly Kareem's career high in one fucking half!!!
YoungWlilly deadly regular season scorer if he gets going but has just 1 playoff game of exactly 50 points series he lost 3-1 lead and lost that game! Has 1 finals game of 40 points happened in 6th finals appearance after he lost his 4th and 5th finals appearances! He should’ve saved those 55 and 81 point moments for those moments instead of wasting them in the regular season! 41% FG career finals Kobe!
truthsetsyou4ree take your fruity ass on
Joshua Haynes Kobe needed to develop the nba needed too change the rules for Kobe too be an effective scorer and he still wasn’t as efficient as Jordan 5 consecutive seasons 30+ points 50% FG and 51% FG as a rookie 28 points no rules needed changing
From Jordan to Kobe. Im gonna miss players like them.
42 in a half is crazy... 37 in a quarter is crazier.
Against a weak ass team with nba's garbage defense nowadays
kobe jr Yea that's why people are doing it all the time, right?! Fucking idiot. and I LOVE Kobe, but you are a delusional fool.
Tim Hooper 37 in a quarter is great but kobe's 33 points in a 7 min stretch this game was crazier
Kobe scored 33 points in about seven and a half minutes. Klay was playing against trash defense, and Klay wasn't creating any of his shots.
here's a stat kobe has had 50 or more points in thee quarters 6 TIMES in his career,are u kidding me
levanesh1 Don't let the negativity draw you into the dark side. They are not happy over there.
levanesh1 how many times in the playoffs in his 1 only 50 point playoff game where he lost 3-1 lead to lose 3-4
He usually only did this against weak teams during the regular season.
Thank for putting this up! That MAN was SizzzzzziLing!!!
There is no need to argue. After match, Kobe did not brag him scoring 55 points against MJ. If he did -which would be foolish because no one expected 40 yr old MJ to compete against the best player in the league-, then you can argue about it. But he didn't. He was in the zone and he just did what he is doing for many years. After the match MJ was like: ''I'm leaving the torch to a great guy.''
mcoelf, kobe was dumping on jordan so much G Karl sat him in the second half so mike had a shot at MVP. Also check kobe playing 20 minutes abusing mike in La 1998 to where Mike looked at scottie and said "you take him" Next play (after dunking on jordan) Kobe hits a 3 in pippens face! Get your facts straight dude. also, in chicago, kobe dropped 33 on mike, scottie and the rest of the bulls. See ya!
+Agent of Chaos nah
You forgot how Gilbert Arenas scored 60 on KB
steve morpheus Jordan was 40 and didn’t guard him! Kobe where his 50 point playoff games at? He got 1 ever when he lost 3-1 lead 3-4 🤣😂🤣
Joshua Haynes Mike was more gifted he practiced his ass off and got to where he is. Not only that he came at the right time when competition got stale. All the big names were on their way out. MJ lost for years 1 round knockouts
I think its funny Jordan's fans don't like this because of age but love the 18 or 19 year old Kobe versus Jordan when J won. Watch any highlight Jordan wouldn't even guard him one on one like he did other stars, he sent Scottie Pippen one of the best wing men/Forwards of his day. But Kobe still went after Mike on defense and offense. Age is irrelevant its the performance, Jordan could still shot and drive just like young Kobe could and did, but he didn't blow him out in those games. And Kobe @31 clamps kids fresh out of college and high-school not to mention forwards that out weigh him.
Think about this what if it was vice versa a 23 year old mike would destroy current kobe thaths why you compare players in there prime!
djzd Really now. Kobe at this age has played how many more seasons than mike? to put the same years in the nba in both situations would be using Kobe in his absolute prime. Kobe never quit the game twice to do other things.
+iwon2013 MJ quit cause he wanted to fulfill his fathers dream
+iwon2013 if u didnt know btw it was due to MJs father being murdered
Frickle Frackle Who doesn't know about his father passing, but that was way before this. Kobe did his thing at the SG position as he has been known to do.
Interesting to know that Kobe's high at the time was 56 pts, which came in 3 periods. He would have so many 60 pt games if Phil only let him play out the games. Scary to think how many pts he would've scored against the Mavs if he played in the 4thQ when he single handedly outscored them 62-61 in 3 quarters
42 pts in 1st half..what a beast..Jordan..Kobe..Lebron G.O.A.T
Damn, how old was Jordan vs Kobe age? Because my 31 year old ass will not keep up to my 18 year old ass! Age matters a lot!!!
So where was the part where Kobe dropped 55 ON MJ again? I saw MJ dropping Kobe with fadeaways spin moves and jumpers right on Kobe's face on the 98 All star game (almost literally raping Kobe). But I didn't see anything here.
Because MJ refused to guard kobe cause he knew he'd be annihilated against a young kobe in this game
levanesh1 -- Jordan was playing SF in Washington because they didn't have a starter at the position. Hence the reason he played alongside Richard Hamilton in his first season and Stackhouse in his last.
Jordan also played in overtime to score that 69 points. He had 60 at the end of regulation.
It is unbelievable that Kobe still had 21 more points than that at the end of regulation. That is 1/3 of Jordan's entire point total at the end of 4 quarters.
Jordan was the on bench the entire 4th quarter of Kobe's 33 point game in Chicago.
Lmao imagine Jordan playing against kobe in 07
Lmao because Jordan would have been 44-45.
Kobe *NEVER* dropped 55 on Jordan. In fact, Kobe did not score a single solitary point against Jordan for the entire game. Kobe dropped 55 on Jerry Stackhouse [15 points], Tyronn Lue [13 points], Bobby Simmons [3 points], Bryon Russell [6 points], Kwame Brown [2 points], and 16 points from free throws. Not one of the fouls were committed by Jordan.
Free Throws = 2 points [fouled by Jahadi White], 2 points [fouled by Bryon Russell], 2 points [fouled by Jerry Stackhouse], 2 points [fouled by Christian Laettner], 1 point [fouled by Jerry Stackhouse again], 2 points [fouled by Kwame Brown], 2 points [fouled by Bobby Simons], 2 points [fouled by Brendon Haywood].
Kobe did run over Jordan TWICE for his 2nd [3.47 2nd qtr] & 4th [0.30.2 3rd qtr] personal fouls. That's about all Kobe did to Jordan the entire game.

Kobe's lucky it wasn't 1987!
So he stayed away from being burned alive? Ground Jordan being smart
nikosvault Kobe never did this shit in the playoffs has 1 playoff game of 50 points exactly lost that game and lost 3-1 lead to lose 3-4!
Jordan has 2 consecutive 50, 55 point playoff game in same series his 4th season hit 63 his 2nd season coming back from being injured 64 games!
Kobe 2nd season he all star lakers got 3 more 4 all stars total getting terrorized and swept by 98 Jazz in WCF scared of that smoke with 35 year old Jordan in the 1998 finals sent jazz to take that 3rd consecutive ass whipping for the western conference!
The only reason kobe did good was because he was wearing Jordans..
Don GIO -- And he was guarded by the awful Jerry Stackhouse.
Kobe that season 30.0 points 6.9 rebounds 5.9 assists 5th All Star Game scored 22 points for the West one point nine straight 40 point games
6:23 I never saw Jordan blocked that bad by anyone before lol
"Kobe Bryant 42 points at half vs Jordan (55 total) 2002-03"
"vs Jordan "
lets see
this video DOES NOT show all 55pts but lets see how Kobe scored "vs Jordan"
vs Stackhouse : 3 2ptFG/ 3 3ptFG = 15pts
vs Lue : 1 2ptFG / 2 3ptFG= 8pts
vs Pargo: 1 3ptFG =3pts
vs Russell: 1 3ptFG = 3pts
vs Simmons: 1 3ptFG = 3pts
Transition: 2 2ptFG/ 1 3ptFG = 7pts
Free Throws: 12 = 12pts
total : 51pts shown
Vs Jordan : ZERO FG! = ZERO PTS
exactly how is this "vs Jordan"???
Dkouts57 Cuz MJ didn't dare to guard him and couldn't have guard him anyway even if he had tried his best. When Kobe is that hot there is no single player in the NBA history who could stop him.. Your only hope is to wait until he cools down or double and triple team him everytime he catches the ball
I'm a huge Jordan fan and I say he is the greatest. I also used to hate Kobe, but I've grown to respect him. Why can't we just say that we were blessed to watch these two great talents play on the basketball court. MJ is the greatest, but Kobe is right there. Both have moments that we can tell our children that we saw the greatest players play the game. Salute to both.
It is foretelling how this video began with a MJ Highlight, and then Kobe just took over
this is awesome shit...i wish the quality was better
this is the best matchup of superstars of all time.
I dont know if anyone notice....you see he all about business....no celebration...no screaming and talking.......CLASS
Kobe's 55 at LA
Points he scored with MJ defending him = 0
MJ's 25 at Washington
Points he scored with Kobe defending him = 8
A 38-40 year old Jordan was an All-Star (2x) in this "superior era" and still putting up 40+ and 50+ point games.
This was kobe's way of saying "Jordan, you can leave. I got his shit."
Kobe's hot hand > Jordans hot hand
remember Kobe was 18 year's old here ..and he scored 42 point's....he had 81 point game and Jordan only had 66 point game
I grew up watching Kobe!!
Kobe will never be Jordan, but 42 points at half is damn good.
undoubtedly kobe is the all-time leader in game winners missed.
Yup, Chick hearn passed away in August of '02, this game was in March of '03. RIP Chick.
All time:
1) Michael Jordan
2) Kobe Bryant
Michael Jordan is the best, and Kobe Bryant is the closest we've seen to Jordan.
Tough break for Grant that he spent about his entire career deferring to Jordan, later Pippen, later Shaq, and finally, near the end of his career, Kobe.
Im a kbe fan but we all fail to realize something in this video HOW OLD IS JORDAN NOW? and he still put up 55 againtst the best team at this time. INTERESTING.
IMAGINE KOBE IN HIS PRIME VS. JORDAN IN HIS PRIME! WOW NOW THATS A DAMM SHOWW!!
10 years from now there will be a new guy who looks like Jordan or Kobe and they will say and I quote "This guy is the next Kobe Bryant" - Charles Barkley
Was mj the leading scorer in the nba for almost his entire his 16th season. oh wait he stopped producing at 12. KOBE!! still producing even with all the years on his back.
That's another Stat. Just what we were talking about. His influence on the court is as great as Jordan's, his TRUE clutch, O and D, is higher than Jordan's.
You know Kobe looked up to MJ, because that's the only time I have ever seen him in wear Jordan's shoes.
This is like kobe telling michael "your era's over i run this now"
This is how Kobe shows ultimate respect to the aged LION KING.Rip him to shreds and show him the door.Same way Jordan did Bird,Magic and anyone else that stood as a challenge.Same jungle different BEASTS!!!
@KobeConfidence In other words, MJ took two years off in his prime and still has 8 more scoring titles, 4 more finals MVPs. 4 more regular season MVPs and one more championship than Kobe.
no one's saying he's better than jordan. its just a fun matchup even though jordan was way past his prime and obviously not at his best. we all know jordan is the greatest of all time. videos like this arent supposed to raise arguments on who's better. they're just pieces of history to be admired
He did in the 2nd half, held Kobe to 1-13 shooting.
Kobe has 33 game winners and appears in the last quarter and is widely regarded as one of the best clutch shots ever by a lot NBA legends. Prince James, AKA "the frozen one" as we call him has 2 game winners and pass the ball like a hot potato in the last quarter because he sucks in clutch, and everyone knows it dude.
Kobe Kobe Kobe Kobe & Kobe ..... Kobe all day.
that was the torch passing game...kobe had to prove to jordan that he could move on...he surely proved and jordan so smart put stackhouse (top defender) to guard him. hats off he's the new and improved M.J
Back when kobe had 56 in 3 quarters, the grizzlies held a 59-56 lead on Kobe at the end of the 3rd. Here, at one point the score was Kobe 40, Wizards 41. But with a score of 48-42, the wizards took a 6 point lead on kobe at the end of the half. Kobe was fed up after this wizards game and those poor dallas mavericks would have to take the 62-61 beating.
kobe isn't the most skilled offensive player ever. He is the BIGGEST Jordan impersonator of all time! imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
2003 is Kobes best year!!!
Have you ever watched Michael Jordan play? I don't mean highlights, I mean watched all the games in a playoff series. I just don't understand how people think Kobe is better than him. He has better stats in every category.
three 2006 Heat, 2004 Pistons, 2008 Celtics
appreciate kobe,don't hate.. there won't be any other "jordanesque" type of player like kobe when he retires..
Oscar also has the most triple doubles out of anyone ever. 183.
I don't understand why people argue over who's better MJ or Kobe, not even they argue about it so why argue for them? doesn't make sense it makes no impact on your lives whatsoever, were all on the same team man, just appreciate the game and the fine careers these athlets have.
To be fair to Jordan and Wilt, they've had teammates who struggled shooting. Pippen was the only guy who was named to an All-Star team while he was with Jordan, unless you want to consider Armstrong and Grant as All-Star worthy while Jordan was a Bull.
Wilt could have averaged a triple-double if he wanted to for a couple years, but remember that Jordan was also a human triple-double in his own right when he was playing point-guard the last quarter of the 1989 regular season so both guys could.
Kobe doesn't suck. He's a legend. But for those who have actually seen the FULL game here, you'd know that Kobe didn't drop a SINGLE shot on MJ. He also didn't guard Michael. There were two times Jordan guarded Kobe and he forced Bryant into TWO turnovers. Not to mention the steal from Bryant and the breakway slam.
Add to that, even with Kobe scoring 50 plus - the commentators still called MJ 'The greatest of all time' after Jordan scored his 23 point.
1:36 Kobe: Should I pass it to the wide-open Fisher? Nah, I'll just force my way to the basket...
Lmao
taking into account his freakish accuracy that night, the rapid rate he was scoring at, how much energy he was excelling, and the adrenaline from playing so well against his childhood idol, kobe should of scored approximately 74 points. That's precisely what he should of scored, according to my calculations
Yes... Young Jordan!
kobe is the all time leader in assist for SG.... go look
Booster 93 he played more minutes and seasons than any shooting guard he isn’t in let game which is what wins the league leaders awards not totals or Jordan is a scoring champ as a rookie
am i the only NBA fan in the world that has respect for both MJ and Kobe.... you MJ fanatics realy need to give KB24 some respect ....Jordan respects Kobe I guarantee you that
people say lebron james and kevin durant is better then kobe but ..they r forgetting kobe have longer career .and still one the best in the nba
YOU REALLY KINDA HATE TO SEE JORDAN OR KOBE GET OLDER BECAUSE THEY ARE ENTERTAINING TO WATCH
michael has done way more than kobe did and kobe started when he was 17, mj started at 21.
Kobe vs MJ both in their prime would be amazing.
Objectively, Mike was the best offensive and 2nd best defensive player in his era (evidenced by DPOY, and 220+ steals in 5 consecutive seasons, along with 1st team all defense 5 years straight, 8 total). 2nd only to Pippen, which many argue is the best perimeter defender ever. You can't state opinions and call them facts. The FACT is that Mike never averaged less than 20 ppg, while Wilt's 14 and 13 a game in his final two show how much the game had caught up to him. Again, there was no comp.
@The8310353 right. (although he was a starter by 1998-1999 and ave almost 38 mins that year).. so why didnt he get playing time?
30.1 Points, 7.0 Rebounds 5.9 Assists
Kobe doing work, putting work, making a clear statement that there is a new sheriff in town in this partial shoot out over Jordan over the hill and came back to taint his legacy as this game was an epitome to that fact. I didn't see this game and to a degree it was on a conscious level that i didn't want to see this annihilation and the decimation of the Jordan era. This is prove that all good things come to an end and so it is now with Kobe as now he is on the other end of this spectrum.
Amen brother
Kobe, right now in the league, is closest to Jordan in terms of accomplishments. It doesn't mean he is very close ;), just closer than anyone else.
Actually the NBA was at it's peak avg height in 1987 or so and has gone down ever since because the game has gone from a PF/C game to a PG/SG game.
NBA scoring champ in the 2011-12 season just averaged 28 PPG. Jordan was either A. a rookie, B. injured/coming back from retirement, or C. A Washington Wizard when he averaged that low of a PPG. Wilt averaged 50 for just one season. Despite all his seasons where he had those godly PPG marks, Jordan averaged more in his career (30.14 to Wilts 30.12)
Look at kobe's 81 points verse wilts 100 point game. people who saw wilts said that he was taller than everyone, the closest person to him was 5 inches shorter.... kobe shot 3'3, tons of free throws and absolutelty nasty shots to get 81, which was played against better players who were taller than him! but it was a different ERA of the sport. Kobe is the best player of his era, hands down.
Kobe's way of showing MJ the door.
I can't believe Jordan came back as a Washington Wizard. Talk about temporarily ruining an amazing reputation.
this was the most impressive display of 3 point shooting iv seen. i think you could say he WAS a better 3 point shooter...but as far as 1 on 1 overall GUILE at creating shots, mid range shooting, posting up, creating/finishing at the rim and LEADERSHIP, Jordan wins out. search youtube for "Michael Jordan 50 point game timeline", a 2 hour mashup of 40 of Jordans 50+ point games. the man literally created BEAST in half court sessions. even at 42, Jordans game was more sound than Kobes at 33....
Bird/McHale/Parrish, Rodman/Dumars/Isiah, Malone/Stockton, Malone/Stockton. Payton/Kemp
Kobe had Shaq (all-time great) Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel were All-Stars when Kobe was playing with them. Now Kobe has Pau Gasol (a top PF in the league), Andrew Bynum (top 2-3 center when healthy) and former DPOY winner Ron Artest.
I'm a kobe fan and I dont belive that. Kobes my favorite player and I think hes great but not the greatest. Growing up me and my friends were huge laker and kobe fans and still are but first and foremost were fans of the game of basketball and have tons of respect for all the other amazing talent in the nba.
Just had to watch this game, some dude said Jordan was better than Kobe at 40, lol people have fuzzy memories.
Kobe will never be Jordan. Jordans career was like a perfect movie. He did everything right on the court. His career stats and achievements are better then Kobes. Everyone will have there own opinion on who's better. To me its Kobe. I don't care about stats. I grew up watching Kobe and in my eyes he's the best.
I think if Michael Jordan was in the same situation as Kobe in the early 2000's, MJ also would have been a sidekick to Shaq, nobody in the hole league had an answer to his dominance.
in a fundamental way, the lakers were always Kobe's team, even when Shaq was at his most dominant form
basically all mvps from 2003 to 2009
i cant imagine what mj was thinking when he saw that kobe was stealing his spotlight
I gave my ball to Kobe for an autograph. I never got it back.
Look at Kobe's avg's at the time, 30.1 ppg, 7 rb, 6 assists
Yes, MJ is a Freak of Nature, He is the G.O.A.T and Kobe is not near to MJ , but you cant discard that he is top 10 all time
I always find it fun watching all of kobes haters on everyone of his videos its like the same 10 youtube warriors hating on everything he doeno matter what
@bferg531
and did i forget nash, allen iverson,carter,brandon roy or melo?
Thats like 10 people... and i never said there werent good players. I said that it was not the same league as it is today. Kobe plays against 3-4 all star players on every team, every game. And he plays in a tougher conference than what MJ played in.
Yeah Those numbers are incredible . And some people call him a Ballhog. I just don't get it man. He's the Lakers' assist leader since 2000.
Nah, you didn't. If you did watch him play over the last eight years of his career, you'd remember that Jordan had an unstoppable fadeaway jumper, and that he could pull up off the dribble from anywhere. You'd also realize that during the last three bulls years, that he couldn't create separation as much, and STILL dominated the mid-range game against double and triple teams. Kobe is top 10 all time, but he a VOLUME shooter--he makes tough shots because he takes so many.
idk if he could quote on quote stop him cause position wise jordan never faced anybody as good as a prime kobe. it wouldve been highly interesting and legendary to see these two battle in their primes.
Also... Kobe scored 62 points IN THREE QUARTERS before. But sat out the entire 4th quarter.
@DeadlyRusher24 Actually his highest scoring game was 69 against the Cavaliers. 63 was his career PLAYOFF high.
