Kobe just wanted pieces to be a contender. His prime years were being wasted away and once the Lakers made moves he repaid them with 3 consecutive trips to the Finals and 2 chips. KD's just not cut from the same cloth

Not gonna lie. I laughed heard as hell when he called him George Castilo instead of Hor-Hay Castiyo 😂

Bae wake up swish just uploaded

I'm so glad you made this video. Laker fans act like, now, that they ALWAYS loved and supported Kobe..and they did not.

I remember those runs where insane. Every team in the western conference where legit contenders and every series had a seven game.

Bro you giving me a little ptsd from back then😂 this was my first season I really remember what was going on in the NBA

I still remember the 08-10 lakers, it was one of the most inspiring runs of all time and really cemented Kobe’s legacy in my eyes

10:40 “They started Vladimir Radmanovic, who probably couldn’t guard me” 😂😂😂😂

Finally!! That '07 season was masterpiece with just odom and fisher while bynum was injured and Gasol just came. They had Turiaf and Radmanović starting for godsakes. Also thank God '09 Magic has been given props. That team was beast and had the Best Center of that time hands down plus outside shooting from Hedo and Lewis.

Kobe asked to be traded from Smush Parker. KD asked to be traded from his best friend and top 5 (at worst) PG in the league, coach he selected, and entire team he selected. No, the 2 requests are nowhere close to the same thing.

Rip Kobe, 8/24 always, he changed the league forever. KD won’t have a season like Kobe sadly, not on the mamba level

Kobe 2008 season is so underrated. He changed his game so much and his team destroyed every team in the western conference.

We miss you Kobe Bryant

The problem with KD asking out is he’s the reason the team is in the place that it’s at, he thought he could be the gm

Kobe was held back by Steve Nash in 2006, just like KD in 2022.

Another aspect we ain't talking about it how Kobe would of kept everyone accountable from day 0. Something the nets were clearly lacking.

Thanks for this video! Adding a bunch of context to all those statheads discrediting him. Bean always had HEART! Rip Mamba!

Great video man really well researched. People don't know kobe best 11 50 plus win teams in the playoffs from 2008-2010 which is more than magics whole career and lebron played in 11 years. They dont know the difficulty that kobe had to face.

I knew I wasn't the only one who saw KD's trade request share a similarity to Kobe back in 2007. Thanks for the great video Swish. Keep It UP!

Rest in peace Kobe. Great job on this video. :)

man i do remember that as a Lakers fan. We always blamed the losses on Kobe being a ballhog and that he was a wannabe MJ. That Western Conference was fucking stacked as well so being able to go to the finals with that team was very unexpected considering gasol just joined them and had instant results

that was an excellent clip you added in at the beginning (2:44).. the legendary ESPN set & theme. You the man Swish, you always find a new video concept & you're video/editing is on point. When it comes to basketball you're absolutely my favorite. Keep grinding bro, you talented.

Let’s not overlook the signing of Derek Fisher in 2007. He brought the veteran leadership and clutch shooting that was previously lacking with Smush Parker in the starting lineup.

Thank You For Putting Some Light On Kobe's Legacy !!!

I miss Kobe. A great video about the comparison between the two.

Kobe was *CARRYING* for into the playoffs for years while playing 50 win teams all regular season and being first team all defense KD has *ALWAYS* had a squad

Its still crazy that those 04 - 07 Lakers still made playoffs(except the year Kobe was hurt) with the players they had and they were in the super competitive West too. Kobe was straight up soloing the league.

I’m here for the Kobe love miss him so much man 💜💛💜💛💜💛

This was so good myguy. Good worki.

Damn, thank for this bro. Miss Kobe

Thanks for the video, as a new NBA fan I was oblivious about this

i was waiting for a video like this. nice job

I appreciate this channel. Thank you 🙏

I've been talking about this trade request since Kevin Durant made the request. I've been telling everyone Kevin Durant wasn't going nowhere he signed for four years. Just like when Kobe made his trade request he has I believe like 3 years left on his contract. The Lakers did the samething the Nets did we talk to teams but, we want a shit load back for you because we really don't wanna trade you. That is why I say this is gonna be one of Kevin Durant best seasons this year

Swish you one of my favorite KZfaqrs Keep it up brudda 💯

it's a good day when SWISHOUT uploads

Excellent video

Great vid💯

Great video!

Love this vid!

Great video 👍🏿

Great analysis as always @swishout

One of the best NBA-related video I've seen in a longtime.

Swishout thank you for this video. Your truly an inspiration and I love your channel. Keep going bro!

Great video bro, like always

Wow Incredible Video! Very Informative🔥💯

Great content and editing ..everything was perfect

A1 detail comparison 👌🏽 I've heard so much criticism about KDs request and this video gave me a better perspective since Kobe is my GOAT

Loved the kobe content bro!😃💪

great video big bro

This is a video Swishout! Keep it 💯 bro!

BANGERRRR 🔥🔥🔥

Great writing Swish ✅

Yessss swish uploaded😎

love this video 📸

I was just thinking about the trade that kobe requested In 07 and almost similar and kobe didn't have a single all star and kd has 2 all star plus the narrative for both of them is legitimate kd can't win without steph and the warriors and kobe couldn't win without shaq which he managed to repeat in a tough western conference mean while there only like 5 teams in the east nets bucks 76ers celtics and heat I love kd game but he has to step up as a leader having kyrie missing almost the entire year without injury and ben Simmons just missed the entire year with some of the weirdest injury you think kobe would have dealt with that without saying something no kobe would have gotten In kyrie and ben Simmons face there are multiple interviews when kobe gotten on his teamate kd has to hold his teamate accountable he has the win a championship or this narrative is going to follow him forever and kd he has the win championship bro as the man

Man that ad transition was so bad lol but great information in the video none the less and damn I never thought the similarities thank you for this swish

Another fantastic video, Swishout!! I hope you are doing well ^__^

Greet video bro !!

great video

Appreciate the Cole beats 🔥

This was VERY interesting. Lets see how it goes out and come back to this video. 😁

Swishout is my fav KZfaqr rn

Great video on breaking down the down fall and up rise of the lakers in the mid 2000s

Perfect video on what the true climate was like for Kobe during that period. It was a tremendous run, also worth mentioning specifically was that 2010 finals series where the Celtics had the Lakers on the ropes at 3-2 and manage to climb out of a hole and win that against a prime Celtics team that looked more than their match for most of the series.

I remember the day I became a fan of the mamba. It was December of 96 and I was 9, a Jordan fan bc he was basically the NBA back then. My pops was telling me "man that boy bad" while the bulls and Lakers were playing. I watched dude come off the bench and drop 30 or 31 pts on my idol 😂. I followed his entire career. I became a man while cheering him on. I use mamba mentality to help me get through the daily grind of work and family obligations. I truly thank this man for his dedication to being great. It inspired me to live my life the same. Rest in paradise my brotha. I wish I could have met him to tell him this.

13:55 brings tears to my eyes...still can't believe it

LOVEEEEEEEE WHEN MY DAWG SWISHOUT POST SINGING HIS THEME SONG

Kobe really did many mistake when hes young we have to admit we all do it cause we dont know or dont have the experience yet and that what makes him genuine bcuz hes just following the footsteps of the greats that ever did all that pressured him and motivates him he got blinded by all of that and as he grew older he became more wiser and mature. And now hes one of the well respected figure in sports history and one of best motivator for young athletes very sad that he has to go early😞😞😞

Had to subscribe

It’s was weird seeing gg at the end smiling when he made the Shaq joke 🙏

Kobe was just like that 🤷🏾‍♂️💯🔥🔥🖤💛, and dam the 2008 west was more crazy than todays west 😬😳😅😂

Yo this was an excellent video my guy. Like people really sleep on the teams Kobe had to play in the west. Kobe literally played some of the most efficient defensive teams in the playoffs to win and people sleep over that, I’m happy you brought that up. Excellent video man

this might be the greatest kobe video on the internet & so accurate

Whoever says Kobe ain’t top 2/3 or Kobe and MJ have no comparison, they should watch this. Kobe did things no one could possibly do in his situation. Man was a beast

Rip 8/24!!! Years later, we’ll never forget about you!!!!

Always bringing the Heat. That 06 season was insane and neither he nor Dwayne Wade won MVP. it was Steve Nash

Watching this reminds me of how sad I am that we never got to see a Kobe-LeBron final

Another Classic From The 🐐

I really wonder how in 20 years people will think about kd's career

Yo brodie what editing software you use? Awesome video!

Bruh I been waiting..you don't post as often as u used to. We content fiends

jorge was wylin😂

Babe wake up new SWISHOUT video just dropped

Subbed just cuz of this vid.

i feel like steph & kobes careers more relative than kd & kobes but another banger from the 🐐 swishout🔥🔥

Ric Bucher always had that old man face 😂😂

Ion gone lie I forgot the video was about kD 🤣 still a banger doe 🔥

Kobeee!

This is random, but I was surprised to hear Parables Instrumental in the Background

13:52 lil gigi did not wanna be there 😂

@14:00 such a great shot but it’s so sad seeing that now 😢👼

Bro had ronny turiaf in a match up where they were facing yao💀💀 that right there tells u all you need to know about kobes situation my god

Lebron and curry laughing rn with 4 championships. Kd revenge season with brooklyn bring it on🙌

I’m a huge KD fan and I’m glad he’s staying but the fact that he had the nerve to request a trade after all the front office has done for him is ridiculous and I hope he doesn’t give up on this team again and leads the Nets to a championship

Raycons are super comfortable!

I remember that 2008 run. Bittersweet

history shall repeat itself.... rip kobe

Kobeee
