2007 04 26 R1 G3 Kobe Bryant Highlights at Suns 45 Pts！[HD]

[@joshuafult84]

This is real Kobe. Too many young kids think 2012-2016 is a accurate depiction of Kobe lmao

[@emjay1249]

Although 2012 Kobe was still a killer. And 2012-13 was one of his better seasons. Being 34 years old still dominating and being the 3rd highest scorer. But yea everything post achilles isn't even Kobe

[@paulbauer7558]

agree with this completely. this is how i remember him. all that post achillies stuff really jaded peoples perception of him

[@GJG_3]

​@@emjay1249 Ngl 2013 had the same look in his eyes like 06 and 07. He was playing pg a lot or else he would have averaged 30+ easy. 3pt shot looked the best since 06 too. Imagine what Kobe could have done in the playoffs. Once Nash stayed healthy I think they could have beaten the Spurs in the first round.

[@rchamp247]

@@GJG_3Lakers are definitely eliminating the Spurs in 2013 if Kobe was there. The Lakers were missing lots of players and those games were still decently close. Plus, the Spurs never figured out how to defend Kobe.

You know what's crazy is that 07 and 06 Kobe was him at his absolute peak and a better player compared to 09 and 10 Kobe who was still great but really coming towards the end of his prime. Imagine this or 06 Kobe on those 2 championship teams??

[@23Jpro]

See this? This is what greatness is. Kobe didn’t give AF about who his opponent was. He grined on both sides of the court and fought back for the lead. He had literally no help that season. It was already impressive enough they made the playoffs and in the west too. This is what separates Kobe and Lebron. Kobe never gave up on his team. We miss you king mamba. Us laker fans ain’t doing so good rn. RIP 😔

What's the plan tonight guys? Get it to Kobe.

[@Nbafan2000]

You could make a case this was Kobe’s best season right in between MVP 08 & 81pts 06. His shooting was the best it ever was and defense. His shooting from 2pt range was incredible 49.5%! & 50% EFG. and my favorite 58% true shooting %

[@hunterquinn5466]

When he said in the end why is shawn merion looking like hes going to help defensively but isnt. Answer is bc there was no stopping kobe Bryant even if they tried their hardest defensively

[@albertmorales3233]

There was no reason for Steve Nash to have 2 MVP’s while Kobe was clearly the best player in the league... during that time, the Lakers were only RELEVANT because of Kobe and he was in his prime having to go up against a superior Suns team with no substantial help, besides Lamar.

[@RRSteelGamer22]

The 2006-07 Lakers had a 24th ranked team defense and the Phoenix Suns in the same season were ranked #1 in ppg and total offense. When you have a weak defense and underachievers like Luke Walton, Kwame Brown, and Jordan Farmar in your starting lineup, you won't get far in the playoffs, let alone beat a team with the best offense like the Suns had that year. If you look at the numbers in the 2007 playoffs, Lamar Odom was the only player besides Kobe (let alone starter) to average double digit points per game (Walton was averaging 7 points in 26 minutes per game, Farmar was averaging 6 points in 22 minutes per game, and Kwame Brown was averaging 9 points in 27 minutes per game.).
