2 Hours Of Kobe Bryant DOMiNATING The NBA Finals 😲🐐 | COMPLETE Winning History

[@Ez3s]

Love how this video highlights Kobe defensive pressure on ball handlers.

[@invincible0463]

How good he was as a playmaker and defender doesn't get talked about enough

[@nickrussell8975]

It’s so underrated and takes only eyeballs and some time to watch tape to realize he’s elite in every single facet of the game but hate and envy blinds people

[@invincible0463]

@nickrussell8975 no flaws in his game, I can tell who actually watched kobe and who didn't. Everyone runs with the ballhog narrative and nobody realises he was a phenomenal playmaker.

[@D3L3T3]

And the haters said Kobe didn't pass...fym I'm 40 mins in and more than half is him passing and playmaking 😂. Kobe haters are insufferable

[@D3L3T3]

Hate, envy, and defeat. You see all those away fans sitting in the bleachers? Yeah, all of them hate Kobe for what he did to their franchise 😂😂. Keep holding that grudge losers

[@invincible0463]

@D3L3T3 most nba fans are clueless just rum with narratives instead of actually watching. Kobe averaged 7 assists in the 09 finals but didn't pass lol. And he played in a triangle offence. If he played today with the ball in his hands all game he'd get more assists.

[@vincegarcia7023]

I can’t believe espn all of a sudden don’t remember this first 3 championships talking about Shaq carrying Kobe when the man clearly was opening lanes for everyone else GOAT RIP

[@Me-sm9qk]

and whos shaq opponent rik smit, old and wash mutombo, and todd. compared to kobe mark jackson, jalen rose(who hurt him thats why his number get low in that series)and reggie miller. vs sixer iverson, eric snow and raja whos guarding him great defender. vs nets kidd and kenyon. shaq opponents aee garbage in the finals kobes opponents in the finals are the best player and best defender. but in the west playoffs kobe is the man. the media destroying kobe's legacy and people now a day just gonna look in the stats.

[@MrEliasdl]

Shaq was an absolute liability in the clutch. He couldn't touch the ball for more than a few seconds at a time. Kobe carried that team through the West and kept the whole team fed while playing top defense.

[@fmbbeachbum8163]

Talk Shaq off that team & Kobe never makes a Finals, hell without Jackson.. Kobe would've never passed the ball.

[@FrankJohnsonjr-j5u]

All three people are my friends!!

[@FrankJohnsonjr-j5u]

That's why Kobe Bryant didn't play that hard in finals against Detroit Pistons Too Hamilton Bulliop but if you're not scoring or working hard around the basket please don't look for Kobe to give it to you look how good he made Shaq look

[@PapaTrice360]

5:21 unbelievable that he came back to play in this series and play at an even higher level. This is easily a 6-7 week recovery for any other player, including maybe even Kobe during another part of the year besides the finals

[@indrajkang3821]

What was Jalen Rose doing? smh

[@lizethwalker]

@@indrajkang3821he jus got stripped by Kobe a play before he was frustrated felt the intensity

[@滋榎本]

No other player has been compared to Michael Jordan as harshly as Kobe Bryant throughout his career. One of the reasons for this is that in addition to their track record and charisma, they have many similarities in terms of position, playing style, physique, and a strong dislike of losing.

[@DCFG92]

Kobe was more skilled and funny how he’s the only player to come close to that 6-0 w/ 5-2

[@Spider-Complexion]

There was always those clips of MJ and Kobe side by side doing the same moves

[@jameswalker6864]

@@Ohno-rr7pe Duncan had an excellent team, but if you examine his stats, even Antetokoumpo is far better and more complete than him.

[@eddie868]

I saw him live for team USA in 2007 playing in Vegas for FIBA. And he looked different than all stars, he shinned the brightest, his intensity in defense was palpable, his command evident. Kidd and LeBron were the other de facto leaders. Dwight was a monster at the time, in his prime, reminiscent of young Shaq. Surprisingly, LeBron appeared to be as big as Dwight, confusing me several times and leaving me in awe at LeBron’s athleticism and size. He was and is, a physical specimen. But nobody in a room full of star including Wade and Melo, shinned brighter than Mr. Bean. 🙏

[@donavonhoward114]

I wish more NBA video's were like this. I like seeing more than just highlight reels. I like to see missed shots, tough plays, second chance points, and defensive plays in order to have more context. There are far too many highlight reels out there of everyones best plays, and not enough game film being condensed, or summarized through good editting to give more context to what was happening in those games. I don't always want to watch a full game, and this style of video is the next best thing, especially when watching games from the past.

[@TheCrazedLorry98]

There’s one for the 2004 Pistons in the same format. Highly recommend, it’s awesome to see a team without a legit “superstar” that’s just dominating defensively and playing so well as a unit. I also wish there were more vids like this. Gives you a better sense of the players.

[@KZ-HERO823]

At this time, he was only 22 years old. Kobe, who had the ability to dominate games from such a young age, is definitely one of the players in the "GOAT" debate.

[@derreckpressley1165]

Actually, he was 2 months away from his 22nd birthday when they won this championship.

[@dominiquebyers2076]

He wasnt a ballhog when he was with shaq during 20s he become one after shaq left and the lakers werent good, he realise he had to take the load, before that he was passing... and because he was taking so many shots he efficiency decreased, if he had scottie pippen and denis rodman he would have 7 or 8 rings because i really believe that kobe was a more skillful player than jordan@@fmbbeachbum8163

KObe going 100% for his entire career. Anytime the shot clock was down, he could find a shot to get off. The way he saw the double teams coming but then just splits them. Insane

Not to take anything away from the greatness of Kobe, but damn Shaq played his entire career basically taking flagrant foul after flagrant foul and they still couldn't stop him. They are not even trying to play the ball.

[@Serching4JerryGarcia]

Kobe was actually 21 in his first Finals and the youngest ever to make All Defensive 1st Team

[@paoerfulone1089]

You can see the evolution of his game here. From '99 - '13 he was always a great player and one of the best in the game - Hell, for the vast majority of that time, he was THE best in the game. But you could see the skill, the execution, and the processing behind them steadily improving - Looking more and more polished and refined each time. He went from an elite-level street baller who relied mostly on his superior athleticism, agility, and physical ability but whose game was still a bit rough around the edges to the cold-blooded assassin who had complete mastery of the game and could kill you w/ his mind and superior IQ even more than his physical ability.

[@fmbbeachbum8163]

Kobe was'nt the best player on the Lakers until Shaq left, by that time LeBron & D-Wade were the best in the league along with Duncan.

[@D3L3T3]

When they talk about GOAT and the best skilled player to ever exist. Give them this video. It'll end the argument real quick. Oh and the numerous other highlights of his career. Stop disrespecting Kobe.

I know it's a Kobe video. But Kobe and Shaq who were the best duo ever, had three cold blooded players not afraid of the moment in Horry, Fox, and D Fish. They hit daggers whenever their number was called. Seriously this team was not getting beat by anyone in a seven game series.

[@eetfuk3571]

I don't really get the narrative of people saying "Kobe was a ballhog" yet he was constantly feeding the ball to O'Neal, he was also constantly trying to make the opponents keep an eye on him so they can lose their focus to his other teammates which Kobe was constantly passing the ball too. even in death, Kobe never got the respect he truly deserved.

For all the players and people in the world saying that the NBA is right now we just remember LeBron James has played 13 or 14 years worth of Kobe‘s career while Kobe was still in the league so if it was weak for LeBron, then it’s weak for Kobe as well. You can’t be a walking contradiction.
