Anyone else on a Kobe youtube spree?

The fact that this was the only year he won League MVP is a damn travesty!

Every time I hear ppl say Duncan is better than Kobe I laugh. Not once came to my thought that Duncan is better than Kobe when I watched them play. Kobe is literally the Jordan of his era

This is the difference between Kobe and Steph, Steph only needs inches of space, while Kobe doesn't need any space.

Kobe is the best tough shot maker in NBA history.

2008: Kobe beat the team that swept Lebron in the Finals a year prior 2009: Kobe beat the team that beat Lebron in the ECF 2010: Kobe beat the team that beat Lebron in the 2nd round .....Just saying🙌

prime kobe is unguardable

There will NEVER be another Kobe Bryant!

In my opinion Kobe is the most exciting player to ever play the game.

If you took these shots in 2K you'd have like 10 points.

Kobe was the Spurs killer. #Mamba

The Lakers beat the defending champs in 5 games. This Spurs team was even better than the previous year where they won it all. The Spurs played great basketball this series but Kobe was too much of a problem for them. He dismantled this team piece by piece. Can’t believe I doubted the Lakers going into this series. Congrats on making the Hall of Fame Kobe, as all of us expected. There will never be another Kobe. Rip Mamba❤️

These were the times. Kobe was sooooo damn good.

This is a glimpse of why I rank Kobe Bryant ahead of Tim Duncan within the list of the ten greatest NBA players ever. With or without Shaq, both at their best, Bryant's team more often than not beats Duncan's Spurs throughout their careers in the playoffs. That's simply greatness.

Kobe always had his big games against the Spurs specially in the playoffs and they faced the Spurs in their primes. Labron on the other hand can barely beat an old Spurs team.

Anybody saying Duncan is on Kobes level is on drugs. Kobe was easily the best in that era. Kobe was the best and on both ends. He didn't have Shaq or Phil his whole career like Duncan had his pieces and coaches. Kobe is top 3 all-time no debates.

Im not ready to see the NBA without Kobe

Kobe should of gotten at least 3 MVP'S

Who’s here days after Kobe’s death 😔 REST EASY, OG!

when jerry west says that you are one of the greatest player ever, you know you've made it.

Prime Kobe was so scary, basically doing whatever he wanted even in the conference final. Take a look at the first game in this series and second game in the first round that year, Kobe dishing teammates in the first half and taking over when needed in clutch time.

Kobe Is The Best Scorer in Nba History i Still Cant Believe hes Gone....

everyone saying his fg% is low but really it is not is career shooting percentage in season and playoffs is 45% and 48% from 2pt so considering he has played a long career and putting up some difficult shots against all teams that game planned for him and doubled him and still shot that high from the field truly shows how great he was if you disagree then you are pathetic

I can watch Kobe highlights all day, legend !

Couldn't nobody make tough shots like Bryant. This dude is the King of tough shots. RIP Kobe

I remember watching this at work in San Antonio I was devastated Kobe was unstoppable

surreal how much time has passed. I remember this like it was on TV yesterday

It's funny how Chris Paul stans claim he was "robbed" of 2008 MVP when Kobe led a lesser supporting cast to the best record in the West and while only having Pau Gasol for 1/3 of the season In hindsight, the 2008 WCF further proved that Kobe was far more deserving of MVP since he easily beat the same Spurs team that Chris Paul lost to with far less help on both offense and defense 2008 Lakers vs Spurs in WCF Pau Gasol - 13-10-4 on 45% FG - 73% FT Lamar Odom - 13-10-3 on 40% FG - 69% FT Jordan Farmar - 8-2-1 on 46/42/100 2008 Hornets vs Spurs in WCSF David West - 20-9-2-1-2 on 45% FG - 84% FT Peja Stojakovic - 13-5-0 on 45/48/93 Tyson Chandler - 9-10-1 on 74% FG - 57% FT and 2 BPG Chandler also was mainly responsible for Duncan's offensive struggles Chandler held Duncan to 15-13 on 42% compared to 24-16 on 46% Duncan shot 42.1% FG in the 2008 WCSF, the 3rd-worst FG% he shot in any series after the 2005 Finals and 2016 WCSF (Age 40 - last series of career) Duncan also had 2 points in the 4th quarter of Game 7 against the Hornets (on a foul by David West) and shot 0/4 in the 4th quarter when guarded by Chandler. CP3 had far, far, far more offensive and defensive help than Kobe, yet Kobe sent the same team that eliminated CP3 packing in a quick 5 games. Clear proof he was the vastly superior individual player and deserving MVP Had Chris Paul won the 2008 MVP, he would be the only MVP to never reach a Conference Finals (though now with him riding Harden's coattails, this likely won't last) further proving he was not deserving of the award.

these are tough shots...jesus christ

best player ever, hands down.

Kobe beat prime Spurs and bron cant beat these old ones

this is the reason Kobe > Duncan...Kobe owns Duncan and Spurs! Pop knows it himself

Kobe is top 10 of all time

A healthy Andrew Bynum w/ Kobe+Pau had the potential to be the next big 3 running the league for 4-5 years

Kobe been killing them for years. It’s crazy watched a 2001 clip of him killing them

Kobe is my favorite player. Kobe is awesome and the best player to ever played the game . Kobe is unstoppable and a fucking beast !

Kobe owning Tim Duncan just like always...

Vuajic a savage wit that buzzer beater

Kobe is a master of the game and greatest player all time and 5 time champion amazing passionate 6th 50 wins seasons Mvp Mvp Mvp Mvp

8:43 Mr. Jerry West really loves Kobe like a son. He's one of the rare genuine guys in NBA. I think he's the perfect person for the NBA icon and no need to change it to be Kobe

Tim Duncan in the series 22ppg on 43% Kobe Bryant in the series 29 ppg on 53% but Kobe is an inefficient chucker

This was one of Kobe’s best series and game but not talked about much

Man couldn’t be stopped once he got going

Vuijch was a savage for making that shot lol he was an excellent 3 point shooter

Kobe was unreal, the shots he was able to hit!!

I can't believe this happened almost a decade ago....seems like yesterday. I miss Kobe

Damn. If you look at the roster they have 1 other all star at most. Even Gasol doesn't make it to the All Star game regularly, yet they got to 3 finals series and won back to back. Today's league seems to demand much more talent to win a championship than the Laker team that won 09 and 10.

8:59 man that smile... it’s making me cry 😭 rest easy mamba

Kobe Has played Duncan in a playoff series for a total of 6 Times in 6 diffrent season. His record 4-2 and yet people still think duncan better lmao

Can't believe some fools don't think Kobe's Top 10 all time

Kobe Bryant is kryptonite of the Spurs

this is tim, manu and parker in their primes. this is how good the lakers were.. coming out in the west three straight times not to mention four consecutive trips to the finals during kobe&shaq years with a prime Tim Duncan team. the past three years have been Duncans decline where Kawhai Leonard had to carry a ton of load, but they still beat a Heat team with a prime LeBron, Wade and Bosh. Now all the talk about Goldenstate being better than the showtime Lakers cant even dare bring the KobeShaq team into argument. let alone the KobePau team with so much IQ to get three trips to the finals coming out of the loaded west.

People wanna say Duncan over Kobe. Duncan beat Kobe in 99..scab season and 2003 after peat. Kobe beat Duncan 2001.2004........and this masterpiece 2008. Duncan never 3 peated or repeated for that matter.

Best way for mamba relive his legacy as legend thru these highlights.. long live ko♾e

Lebron ain't Kobe when it comes to competing against GREAT teams.

that mentality the will to win! you cant teach! they call him the mamba for nothing !

Kobe was solo good from 08-10. he was great his whole career but those years stick out to me the most

Im a spurs fan but i gotta say kobe is 2nd to Jordan and way better then lebron hands down...kobe and Duncan combined 10 rings enough said

His 4th closer badge working there 😊

Not Saying this cause he Passed. Since the very first time I Saw this Man Play I knew he was Special. My favorite player of all-time KOBE BRYANT.💯 R.I.P Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant and the seven others we lost on that dreadful Tragedy.🙏🏽😢😭💙

This might've been his best series. He played so slow, in his own zone, and insanely focused. The level of determination and confidence was something to marvel.

13 years ago and I'm still watching the Lakers' glory years, and of course, Kobe. Who's here in March 2021? Anyone? Rest well, Mamba.

Kobe with zero all-stars against the SPURS. Let that sink in.

San Antonio couldn't do anything but watch the ball go in the hoop.....time and time again.

I love how Kobe love his team, it's never "I" only "we". You gotta love the guy ✊✊

R.I.P. Kobe Bean Bryant. R.I.P. Gianna “Gigi” Bryant. August 23, 1978 - January 26, 2020. May 1st, 2006 - January 26, 2020. Mamba out but in our hearts forever! Mamba and Mambacita Forever!

I really miss this dude man smh Kobe was really something different... thanks for the memories mamba

he said you want to force kobe to be a jump shooter HAHA, its pick your posion because its going in

He took the Spurs soul that series.

No way Duncan is better than Kobe, no way in hell

Mike, Kobe & nobody else. I thoroughly miss my boy🙏🏽

I miss the kobe-walton best ever 1-2 punch tandem...unstoppable!

Alot of people don't realize that the 08'Celtics and 04'Pistons are 2 of the greatest defenses ever plus the 03'Spurs. All better than the 93'Knicks and Pistons of that era.

You can’t tell me watching these highlights that kobe isn’t a top 5 player all time. Even after he’s been retired a couple of years, no one has come close to matching this type of difficult shot making. Tough shots for most; routine for Kobe. All-time great.

The greatest player ever!

As many times as Duncan and Kobe went head to head(and the fact that Kobe has the winning record vs Duncan) I can't believe people can still put Duncan over Kobe all time. Duncan wasn't nearly as integral to the Spurs' success as much as Kobe was to the Lakers'. This is clear, as Duncan was averaging very mild minutes (around 20 per game) and very mild stats in general for the majority of the 2nd half of his career.

Greatest Basketball Player Of All Time !! This man played in the toughest era (early 2000s) Took on prime Duncan, Iverson, Dirk, Nash , Lebron. All MVP players 🐐🐐🐐. MJ would never

Before every 2k session gotta get a lil smoke n Kobe highlights in

I love the team spirit and sportmanship in this era

no one can ever shit talk Kobe Bryant -lifelong spur fan

God I miss ...knowing this man is alive....

Ppl talk about Kobe took horrible shots, but they always had 2 niqqas on this man, how's his shot selection not gonna be impossible? That's why he perfected footwork.

You can't but respect this man 🎉

I’m just here to prove to the spurs fans that Duncan always had and needed help. Kobe didn’t need much. Denied Duncan a repeat opportunity that he never got 😴 Kobe got back to backs where is Duncan’s

RIP KOBE 😭

Couldnt nobody do what kobe did. Not jordan not lebron curry, NOBODY!!! Kobe was the man, and he was is and will always be that player that we will never be able to see again. RIP KB 8/24

The quality of this video is great

5:34 cmon marv! One of the best shots I have ever seen, this man was simply unreal. God damn I miss him

anyone else on a kobe youtube spree?😄

I remember watching this game and being so happy for Kobe that he was back in the finals after a four year hiatus!

Literally grew up watching kobe and thinking to myself watching these games that I couldn’t imagine anyone’s peaks being better.

This is the same EXACT team Lebron lost to in 07 a year before, stating with no help playing with nobody's but yet Kobe was killing this same exact spurs team in their prime & got it done!! With only turiaf, ariza, Walton, vujatic, Radmanovic, farmar & A Gasol who hasn't experienced basketball but sef for the first round. Kobe killed the spurs Yall. Gregg pop will tell you that!! Hell even skip Bayless will tell you that! lol he loves his spurs.

greatest jump shot in history

No one can make how Kobe made those shots that’s straight skills n will to win

This was one of Kobe's best performances, hands down... this was just another one of those situations where you're never out of it if you have Kobe on your team. He had the Spurs' number and there was NOTHING they could do to stop him. He was clearly the MVP of the league that season and it still puzzles me how he only has one MVP to his name... let's not beat around the bush, he should have more MVPs than Duncan, let alone Nash.

RIP KOBE!

So nobody gonna talk about how after Shaq left and Kobe went 3 of his prime peak years on weak teams in the toughest conference and era of basketball and as soon as he gets pau gasol who can help him get the teams wins kobe wins MVP and damn near sweep the championship spurs then goes to the finals for the next 3 years all as the best player on the team 🤦🏾‍♂️

Kobe torched the spurs 4-1 with just him and Pau against 3 hall of famers and one of the best defensive players of all time in Bruce Bowen while Andrew Bynum and Ariza we’re out due to injury 🐐

When Lakers had heart 💯

Purely unstoppable! He will forever be remembered and missed RIP Kobe “Bean” Bryant, Gianna Bryant and all of the victims who’s lives were lost 💔🙏🏾
