Damn kobe really was hated man , skip really said his jersey sales went up cause of what happened in Colorado like what???? He was the best player in the world around that time that’s why but they’ll bring up something that happened 5 years ago around that time this is sad , rip Kobe man

getting street cred from a rape accusation is probably one of the stupidest things ive ever heard on tv.

lol you must have missed a good 3 years of NBA bro. didn't watch him basically dissect the Magic and kept willed the Lakers against Boston. (17 points in the 3rd quarter in 1 game) and basically yelled his teammates to pick up the slack in which lead to the Lakers winning game 7

"Me Myself and Iverson" loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

you know exactly what im talking about: 3 finals appearance, 2 rings in the past 4 years. Kobe just passed Shaq for 5th all time. Finishing 2nd, 38 points short for another scoring title. Another All Nba first team nod and nba defensive 2nd team.

Kobe!!!!!!!!

Kobe > entire NBA

I have been saying the SAME thing. From a branding perspective he OWNED the 8. There would have been stuff like KO8E. But we seem to be few on this train of thought.

I saw him in a gym once and talk about an eye opener for me. It was like seeing master Roshi become that bulked up version when he cast Kamehameha the first time. Whole new respect for Skip in an instant. Clothes don't make the person.

Skip is just playing his role as the opposition, so stop hating on him. It's his role to stir things up and his doing a great job.

lol funny stuff. Howard, Wade, James, Melo, Durant = 1 ring. Kobe = 5

1:02 to 1:14 lmao

looking back how did skip actually get paid for being on this show, the dude is a joke

from a branding perspective, he's still leading the NBA in jersey sales to this date (2013 sales are not out i don't think), so it's irrelevant.

lol look at jalen when skip says 'street cred' XD

14 years

JALEN ROSE is da man

kobe is great for market the only thing I agree with skip is Lebron's street credit, lots of ballers out there loves Lebron trust me I find more people who are less into basketball wearing lebron, people who are serious with the sports buy d-wade and lebron, now I know kobe is the best player now, but in a couple of years its all lebron and d-wade

this year was D.Rose with #1 jersey sales:) international #2 behind Kobe:)

Skip Bayless gives some credit to Miami Vice with this shirt

KOBE IS DA BEST ON THE PLANEt!! go LAKERSS

damn i typed in skip bayless and majority videos were him hating on lebron..lol..

go lakers

in china kobe outsells lebron considerably despite the nike campaign to launch lebron as the games icon to the chinese market. they recognize who they like and it is kobe.

it's marketing, and they question do certain marketing leads to certain results?.. i'm missing something

Lost his shoe contract? Kobe paid ADIDAS 8 mil to get out of the deal to sign with Nike. And of course he was number 1 in jersey sales!

@AFGALLDAY How?

No shit it's number 1 sales. IT'S KOBE BRYANT!

lady came up with the best point haha

@iimbamii Yes, but he said that he was a bad post-season player before he had Cleveland as his favorite.

Skip said that LeBron is a bad post-season player. While Cleveland was his favourite team to win the championship?

We will see if that lasts for 6 years or so like kobes jersey reign did.

The last comment by Skip actually pissed me off "the wrong kinda fans" who made you judge of peoples character, people you dont even know, very ignorant thing to say Skip

insider information? She knew lebron leaving Cleveland what a beast

lol cleveland as the favorite lmaooo !

@Komighty1 its rare to see Skip not talking shit about Lebron

Wow, one of the few times i see jalen animated... AND king of sports nation... LOL!! What has he accomplished to be considered 'king' anyway???

Me myself and Iverson. LOL

man skip u gotta come to LA sometimes things change XDD

skips fuking hilarious

@AbbeyNO Well, they were a statistically better team than the rest of the conference. However, that doesn't mean they are going to get it done in the post-season. They were better in many ways and should have been favored. However, it doesn't always go the way it should, statistically. Skip went with the stats. Didn't work out.

@AndreRedd1Empire you do realize without canada , USA woudnt get anywhere

I'd be mad too if I was payless.

you dont see much laker jerseys in canada , atleast not much in toronto

lol I see a great scorer and you see missed shots? His scoring hurts? Maybe because he only scores or have big games in the later part of his career because he needs to. He doesn't need to get 81 each night for his team to have a fighting chance, they have a great team. They don't need him to score but he does when no one gets going. Its basically instant offense. It doesn't win you much games because you didn't play on both ends but you will get that 40 from a night.

@lile2780 Kate Faber is her name.

So do you.

@therocksownss got their ass beat who the hell was that? The only teams that played were the celtics and lakers and that was a close game, so no one got their ass beat.

When it comes to offence, sure, defensively not even close. He can take a hit though no doubt he has heart.

skip is right about lebron being the the most popular person in sport, which i really hate

Cp3 is the best PG in the league

lol lol lmao. Wow, Skip Bayless is soo funny. Even though what he may say seems so left field, he is actually right, lol. The media did use the Denver incident to make Kobe "redeem" himself, which in turn made him even more popular. If you rumble through all the psyco-babble, Skip actually knows what he's sayin. One of the funniest people i like to watch, lol

okay jalen is right once again. and i like skip but he has no clue what hes saying. kobe has 3 rings and jalen even called they were winning one that year (and skip blew him off). everything he said was true. even that lebron was mvp that year. thats 3 for 3 on some bold arguments. Skip, sorry you lost that one, hard.

chris paul hasnt been the best for 4 years, the thing about point guards is, theres so many great ones that every season another player is the best point guard in the nba, in 08 it was paul for sure, but after that his play declined until he was traded to the clippers...deron, rose and even rondo made their cases as the best point guard in the league in that time span

well, judging from where they are right now and what level they play, I'd say otherwise.

@lush1993 dont hate him so much. he stated numerous predictions which became true.

yeaah well you kinda just made the point that kobe hasnt lifted his level of play in playoffs.. and still has 5 rings,, because of his supporting cast.

What is more offensive is Skip Bayless's hot pink t-shirt under that blazer. But he was right that Lebron is better than Kobe.

if lebron didnt go to miami im pretty sure skip bayless would still love him haha

caz Kobe is #24 now

Jason Kidd?(1 Ring,More assist all time) But i guess there both in the same level

@AFGALLDAY best point guard.... in the offense

"my favorite is cleveland"

maybe Air Bud "buddy" is better than Lebron in Bayless' mind

I'm saying that the entire NBA currently hasn't matched up to Kobe's accomplishments. lol nobody says MJ aint the goat

so the eagle rock incident contributed to jersey sales? .........interesting Skip.

@sooietube just like shaq wouldnt have won his 4 rings without Kobe for the first 3 and that 1 without wade if you wanna get technical remember shaq never won with Orlando. Just a lil note just in case you forgot also Pau gasol never won a playoff game until he came to LA just in case you forgot

2:04 enough said

LOL I though basketball was a game and ordinarily the objective is always to win. no other shit matters. Kobe got 5 rings shooting below 50% throughout his career and won 2 finals mvp and a regular season MVP. he must be doing something right in his career. You're right, there's absolutely no excuse as to how much the Lakers suck with that kind of cap room and talent. But in sports, unlike in real life, the best player is always to blame or credit. There are a lot of other factors though

@AbbeyNO This is why he thinks that way. He thought they were the favorite. LeBron has always lost in the post-season. This is why he's felt he is bad in the post-season.

I live in Markham and I go to Toronto alot and alot more people wear lebron, d-wade and KG jerseys seriously only chinese people(no offense or being racist) wear kobe jerseys because of his fame in china

great scorer? only in volume.. basketball is about efficiency.. and if the primary scorer is missing more than hes making thats hurting the team. thats why kobes true precision rating is well into negative. theres no way a team with that roster should be doing so poorly

so he hasn't lifted his level of play in the playoffs when he didn't reach the finals (the last two years) and he won 5 rings because of his supporting cast? Seems legit bro. The Lakers are a spoiled team with so much talent in the starting but no one off the bench, they still lack a lot of depth compared to their recent championship-winning teams (09,10) Did you see the Lakers' last game ? Kobe dropped 42 because no one got it going and the Lakers basically handed the game to Russel's hands

I mhave LeBron and Kobe's jersey... but the LeBron one was given to me LOL

wtf is skip talking about lol

@NBAGOATS only because his team and number changed.

he didnt lift his game in the finals either.. xcept 2002 and he still got outplayed by shaq.. yeah the lakers need to make some changes but dont act like kobe had a good series.

@Kobe24Everr notice your name

who the fuck is David Lee?

and what was your fucking point saying kobe = 5? yeah thought so. mj GOAT

lol WHAT? lakers revenues jumped like crazy after pau was traded there... thats what you call BANDWAGON.

What the hell is this guy talking about???

wow skip said King James 1:12

WHERES D WADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i didnt see lebron dancing at the end of the cavs lakers game. lol wish he would of. kobe would of dropped 75 and held lebron to 10 points next game.

@maninpants494 same amount as him ;)

@NBAGOATS maybe in jerseys but kobes #1

lebron wil b the highest selling jersey for the next years and kobe will b numbe 3 durant 2 wade4

yeah thanks to shaq and his team of all stars lawll

Jason Kidd 02-04/05 Chris Paul 08-12. He was the best for a few years. Not 10

@IaMmEfan1 Looks like you're the only one confused here. Skip is the biggest Lebron hater on television right now. He's trying the make the point that sports nation has been biased towards Lebron.

@chitownmo also having an asian name helps

it funnny cuz la lakers won the championship that year

Not many people know less about basketball then Skip Bayless. The guy is a fountain of misinformation and idiotic opinions.

Oh. So THAT'S Skip Bayless.SMH.

skip why? lol why do that?

yeah and he passed fucking jordan in missed shots hes #4 on that list lol. "another scoring title" yeah to add to the grande total of 1 lmfao.... his scoring this year hurt the lakers. period

Lebron is No.1 now.

@sooietube why are you not the most liked comment!?

where they are right now? so tim duncan in the conference finals and kobe out of the playoffs?.... level of play kobe shooting 40% from the floor..
