A look at the Intensity of Kobe Bryant

Visit www.nba.com/video for more highlights. Kobe Bryant is known for his intensity on the court. Take a look at where this intensity comes from and how it has helped him become one of the great players in NBA history.

[@jrsx5826]

Age 17 in the league? drop 81 in his prime and drop 60 on his last game? THE GOAT!

[@James-sn5mg]

dropped 81 against raptors which were the worst team in the nba at the time..rofl. Drop 60 points because his teammates fed him the ball every posession. Hardly the GOAT

[@ultrawweman7265]

@@James-sn5mg The raptors finished as the 3rd seed lol. Jalen Rose didn't understand why the coach didn't tell them to double team Kobe. The 60 point game was his final performance and the crowd wanted it so ofc his teammates had to feed him the ball, I mean wouldn't you? Now, thats facts to consider.

So is there complaining now that Lebron needed wade and bosh? Than miller and Ray Allan ? Come on mj needed help, Kobe needed help but so did Lebron it's stupid to complaint about who had help and who didn't because at the end of the day all of those 3 amazing players didn't win without help

[@central848]

But Lebron has himself and Wade, two of the top 5 players in the NBA, Bosh, a top ten player, Ray Allen, a top 20 player etc...And every single bench player is better then the Lakers bench and put up more numbers then the Lakers bench. Please tell me where Gasol ranked in the NBA when they won? 30-40 on a good day... What about the rest? Did Kobe even have one top 20 player in his two recent championships? That is the difference people hate to acknowledge. Kobe, Durant, anyone of them could win easily with the current heat team. There is nothing to be proud off, plus Lebron was lucky to be in the east, the west is got like 7 deadly teams, the east has 2, Miami included. Easy pickings for the eastern team, while the western teams have to play championship level basketball all the way to the finals.

[@Calikid331]

Lebron's teem has more all stars and ex super stars than Kobe and Jordan combined. we still have a reason to complain

[@PR1NCETD0T]

Calikid331 that's because of todays game and how it is played and managed, it's not lebrons fault that people want to play with him, people were scared of mj and didn't like the way he treated his teammates, but the teammates he had knew he could help them win so they stayed. Kobe is nicer than michael was to his teammates, it's just kobe tends to not trust his teammates when he ends up hogging the field goal attempts. Im not a fan of either miami or lakers franchise, but i am a fan of kobe, and lebron, i can't say im a fan of mj because i wasnt old enough to understand basketball when he was playing. Last i can rememebr watching him play, was his last game vs sixers.

[@OrandeFrancis]

Smh. Funny right? I'm a Kobe fan, and I have two friends that are LeBron fans. Everytime we watch SportsCenter, and they mention Kobe, my friends are all like "Oh. Get Kobe's old ass out of here! He needs to retire! He sucks ass now. That's why LeBron is always better." Funny thing is, LeBron's ass is only 6 years younger than Kobe. In terms of chamionship titles, playmaking, executioning shots, and in terms of style, Kobe blows Lebron's ass out of here. Also, people wanna say Kobe only won because of Shaq. So if LeBron never had Wade or Bosh, would he still would've won those two titles in 2013 and 2014? We already saw that he can't lead a damn team by himself against the Warriors in the 2015 Finals. Kobe can. (Look up "Kobe's 81 Point Game") In the end, LeBron is a damn good player. But his prime vs Kobe's isn't equivalent to shit. No matter Kobe's current status now, or "LeBron never got a chance!". They aren't equal at all.

[@NateReelz]

my only argument is when u said lebron couldn't lead his team to beat warriors and ur Kobe comparison was the 81 point game. that doesn't make sense. lebron vs warriors was a Finals, more than one game. which in that case u saw lebron at least win 2 games vs golden state and he was averaging close to 40. can't compare a finals to one game , that's all. not trying to start an argument but lebron did at least take the 07 cavs to finals as well. ✌

[@standupmothafucka]

[@B4raCk0s4Ma]

so you're evidence that Kobe can lead a team by himself in the finals against a team like the Warriors is his 81 point game against a crappy raptors team? There's a reason Kobe never wins unless he has Phil Jackson and like Lebron, at least one other all star on his team.
