Look at wade’s and coach k’s interview saying Kobe did not mind to score but instead to defend the opponent’s perimeter player. He studied opponent’s weakness and made a play. That you can’t put in the stats.

Great vid!! It was amazing to see Kobe's impact on the other players, especially Wade. Dude went to another level. Never seen him play with such an electric ruthless energy like that before especially on defense. To me he was like the mvp of that '08 Olympics and Melo the '12 Olympics. Iono to me that '08 Olympics showed and reminded how much defense is important and the physicality thats been missing in the NBA since the 90s. The international play is more physical than the NBA. The NBA seems to have gone too far in the entertainment direction. After those Olympics the NBA should have for "one season" re-implement the defensive rules of the 1999 season. To answer your question at the end of the video. Kobe has always been my favorite player but man those guys going up against the Bigs alone.. Barkley, Malone, Ewing, Robinson.. shiiiiii and then you have Magic, Drexler, Pippin, Stockton in the backcourt... And MJ good God 🙈🙈🙈 I'm sorry but that 90s physical style of play goes perfect with the international play. Dream team got that one

We're all leaving this earth someday, but it's just such a shame that Kobe lost his life so soon. He was truly a basketball legend. He took up where Jordan left off, and was even better than Jordan, in some aspects of his game, such as 3pt shooting, where his stats tower over Jordan. Will there ever be another Kobe Bean Bryant ? I really don't think so. I feel blessed to have been a witness to the greatness of players like Jordan, Bryant, Bird, Johnson, Wilkins, Duncan, Miller, Wade, etc. The game is still great, but not the same.

Kobe was always about winning and about leading by example. If you were in the gym with him at 4, 5 in the morning everyday, he'll pass that ball. If you don't and he's never seen you take being a pro player seriously, then in his mind why the hell do you deserve to shoot a shot at all? How can I trust you at all? So when he has like minded individuals who can follow his example, that team immediately contends for titles.

Thank you for giving Kobe his shine. The league and ESPN don’t make any money of his name anymore so they have no problem pushing other individuals, even if it diminishes what Kobe did. I have Kobe 3rd greatest after MJ and Kareem

You can hate the man, but facts are facts in what he accomplish in the game of basketball. Most of us relate not because of our ability but because of the grind and will that we have in us. Always be my fav player because of the competitive spirit.

@RamiAbboud1 Жыл бұрын
Kobe was great but he was clearly a step below Michael Jordan. Jordan was the more efficient scorer. Kobe took a lot more bad shots. Jordan was more athletic. Jordan was the better defensive player. Jordan was the better passer. The difference between being the best player of all time and being a top 5 to 10 player of all time is noticeable.

Kobe has had the biggest inpact on the game way more than Steph mainly because Kobes impact was way more beneificial he impacted an entire generation Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Davis, Tatum, Booker, Paul, Cp3, kawhi, kyrie to play defense and out work everyone and never underestimate your oppennent. Curry has just added on to D tonie system and those Suns and Mavs teams. He made the game worse shoot 30 3’s no mid range no post no true big man. And he only influence bum kids and players like trey young and melo ball. Without Kobe Lebron would t be as good neither would the next generation.
