R.I.P KB24

Oh you know, I'm a Kobe goon. He's my GOAT 🐐🐍🐐

Don't span these sad things when watching celebration videos, please

@@lads0013 ok

And GiGi RIP

@@era_emissary yea a 13 years old daughter 😭😭😭😭🥀🥀🥀💔💔💔💔

Stop idolizing him dang smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

Luke Reyes Lmfaooooooo these haters are dumb as fuck

Luke Reyes Shaq definitely was da man in da Finals but if there was a Playoffs MVP or Wcf MVP there is no doubt who da better player was

Facts people saying Kobe needed shaq but bitch shaq needed KOBE

The Greatest Finesser Kobe had some great performances in the playoffs when Shaq was his center. During the finals Shaq had the easiest matchups at the center position so that’s why the offense went through him, but Kobe was great as well and this idea that he was carried is just nonsense. Either people didn’t watch these series or they’re just finding ways to hate because he wasn’t finals MVP smh

Luke Reyes Facts bro I was gonna allude to dat point Shaq definitely had inferior competition but he still dominated Kobe definitely held his own and one of dose Finals I believe he got injured in Game 4 which hindered his stats context matters

Kobe had a great Finals, but Shaq had an even better one. Kobe ain't winning when Shaq averaged 36 on 67% shooting.

He would’ve in any other series. 27, 6 and 6 on 51 percent shooting and 54 from 3 is an amazing finals. Also locking Kidd to just 43 percent. Let’s be honest in all of the three finals, Kobe was guarded the top players on the team while Shaq was being defended by old Demekme and Mccoulauglh and Keyon Martin. Of course he was gonna win it but when being defended by great centers like Hakeem, that’s when he got cooked

@@_1luljayyy like when he was guarded by Tim Duncan and David Robinson. Kobe led the offense and was the best player in that series.

@@luckympho9010 not to take anything from Shaquille but Kobe was locking down three Hall of Famers Miller I.A and Kidd on that three peat

@@xaviervega468 all while fouling out or always in foul trouble

Shawn John game 3 where Shaq would usually take a game or two off

Yup...he should have been finals mvp

@@Rorschach771 LOL how so? Shaq averaged 36 for the series.

@@xaviervega468 yeah 36 free throw air balls

@@Rorschach771 More like 36 points a game. I swear Kobetards are the most delusional fans in sports.

Just people who never seen it in person but still try to diminish how great Kobe actually was. I honestly believe that hes the second greatest to ever play behind MJ. So blessed to have witness this greatness from this man. RIP MAMBA!! GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!

People just started shitting on Kobe more when he died it's dumb honestly. And their arguement will be like "You wouldn't say that if he didn't pass" like c'mon, look at the numbers for yourself, shaq needed him.

@@nunyabusiness8498 Kobe needed shaq too

@@jasonmoukala8909 agreed

@@jasonmoukala8909 They both did good as a Duo. But Kobe is never ever been carried by Shaq. Only 2010 kids and dumb fans will say that.

Pretty sure they know with 2 jerseys up there in the rafters

@@aarontan2197 they know 24 but i don't think they never see him wear number 8 i was talking bout little kids

Yep you feel me 😊 Rocking afro typer lol rip kobe

@@tayebreezy824 why tf are you bringing up little kids?

Facts 💯

Exactly. Shaq even knew kobe was better than him thats why hewas jealous of kobe

Hes better than lebron. Longevity isnt better than quality.

@@DominiqueWilliams-ue3rx Exactly!!!

Please lets not pretend the Lakers were Kobe's team during the 3 peat. Revisionist history ain't gonna fly.

It took kobe 3 years into the league to start shaping up his game and we not going to even talk about passing compared to lbj. Lbj came came out rookie season killing shit. This shit cap and I fuck with kobe but we not going to cap on here

@Kwame Kimoko you right kobe had to come off the bench and play off another great instantly. Lebron james didn't have that luxury and still made it to the finals his fourth year with no superstar unlike kobe. During that 2007 run to the finals at 22. He beat gilbert arenas, Caron butler, Anthony Jamison, Hayward which were all stars first round. He beat jason kidd, Vince Carter, Richard jefferson in their primes second round. 3round he beat detriot. He just didn't top it off for the spurs. You right he passes but also scores and you see him take over games so we not going to cap on here especially clutch. For him to be a first pass guy, he is the all time leader in points in the playoffs and about to be the all time leading scorer in points in nba history 😆. First player to have 30k pts, 10k, rebounds, 10k assists, nobody in history right now have 10k points, 10krebounds, 10k assists in a career but luka might have something to say if longevity comes in play.

Those names have all stars and a couple hall of famers and lbj was a puppy running through they ass. You play who have to play. Kobe play top tier players as well along by shaq bud. Jason kidd, Vince Carter, kg, Paul pierce, Ray allen, rondo, kd, harden, Russell, steph curry, klay thompson, tim duncan and more😆 some of those guys were top 50 and hall of famers

@Kwame Kimoko lbj beat kidd too so we not going to act like kidd was trash. My point I was explaining lol. I don't hate bro I'm speaking facts. Kobe and shaq swept the nets with kidd, keyon Martin which was a all star. Kerry kittles which 6man of the year, mutombo which a former defensive player of the year. Lbj alone beat jason kidd, Vince Carter, rich jefferson. So I don't hate kobe I'm just speaking facts.

Both are about as good at their role as they come. 1 man's role was an assassin snake cherry picking his spots because he had the best coach and most dominant player ever. The other is a King drafted into the worst situation ever in a league shifting away from his strengths with Armageddon levels of pressure since a teen. Respect to both

😭😭😭😭 lmao to you're comment. He ain't gotta do em like that. Rip Kobe.

Legend Of Basketball ✊🐐💯

The GOAT!

This was a great Finals for Kobe, but he ain't winning Finals MVP when Shaq averaged 36 for the series.

But Kobe averaged 27 on 51 percent shooting and 54 percent from 3 and also locked up Jason Kidd

If LeBron played with Shaq then, LeBron probably wouldn't win finals MVP either.

@@TheMrKobeBryant2012 Of course. Michael JORDAN ain't winning finals MVP over Shaq come on

@@TheMrKobeBryant2012 shaq was getting swept out of the lead when Jordan was playing he had his when he left Orlando 98 WCF got swept by Utah could have made it to the finals to play the bulls since he didn't want to play in the East because Jordan came back I'm just saying the real

Nope.

@@xaviervega468 Yes it was. Be gone.

@@travisblair3189 Yeah right. Kobe played well, but was still less impacful than Shaq was. You're not winning Finals MVP when you avarage almosot 10 points less a game than your teammate.

@@xaviervega468 Man please. Them crappy centers that Shaq was facing. Kobe's the backbone of those championships.

@@travisblair3189 LOL that's a damn joke. The offense ran through Shaq. The second Kobe started the majority of the shots is the second the 3 peat Lakers stopped winning.

I agree the east didn't have a true center O'Neal didn't have a match up that why during the 3peat he was getting easy number why Kobe was guarding hall of famers Miller AI and Kidd

Not even close

My my my & how quickly we forget about those PlayOffs

Nah that was Duncan. Guys like Jordan, Kobe, and Lebron wanted to win THEIR way. Duncan just wanted to win period, no matter what role he had to play.

that’s a fact…🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🐐

I know man. The announcers were great . Love the theme sounds

They wasn’t crappy lol

the nets team were solid but definitely not a great team.

The season before they were bad then he comes and next thing you know they in 2 straight nba finals lol

Yeh and he can't get past the second rd in the west. Just showed how weak the east back then.

Kobe Bryant the Best Ever.

Kidd was that nigga...that was my point guard frfr, him and Stockton growing up

You'll be missed black mamba and you will never be forgotten and always have in my heart forever?💗💗💓💓💋💋♥️❣️❤️🙏🙏😭😭😢😢😢

He was but don't be hating on Curry now. You don't have to diminish one all time great to build up another.

What's the point of dissing curry when he's accomplished something you never did in basketball 😂

And then you woke up. Delete this bs

Facts the wcf was really the finales

How in god’s name are you seeing more skill in Kobe Bryant’s game than in Michael Jordan’s? Your sentence “more up to date as far as handles, outside shooting and playmaking” is so vague it seems like you really don’t believe what you’re trying to articulate. What was Kobe better at than Jordan in the game of basketball?

@@HT-sm9dm ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, that's why Jordan was more accomplished in his 1st 9 years with the the bulls then Kobe was in his 20 years with the Lakers. he was speaking from a fanboy's perspective.😂😂😂

@@HT-sm9dm he has every skill in the book. He is the most skilled player on offense there ever was, Michael Jordan is skilled as well, but I'd put Kobe ahead because of the variety and difficulty of the shots he took

Amukelani Ebenezer dude. Stop it. No really. Stahppp ittttt.

@@HT-sm9dm lol sorry bro I didn't wanna hurt you. A civil discussion is what I though could happen

Type it on KZfaq they are there. Forever Mamba

That wouldn't of made him better and let's not forget that Jordan RETIRED in the middle of his PRIME so all that meant was Jordan would've won 8 straight finals had he not retired.

real talk

after this shaq gave up

😂😂😂😂😂 they suck

Also at 14:55..haha the disrespect
