+eduar ed when mj leaved there was the blockout in 98/99, no wonder the league wasn't exciting (plus barkley, olajuwon..getting older or leaving too), but there was still a bunch of great players with shaq, kobe, iverson, duncan, garnett, carter... And if Lebron leaves, well there is still durant, westbrook, a.davis, curry... There will always be great players, no matter the era

[@tsmystic8185]

+eduar ed Are you kidding me? I bet if LeBron leaves the league, NBA is still NBA, nothing changes! Cuz there are many reasonless comments like yours, and that's why many people don't like LeBron.

[@anfer.sneeze]

+eduar ed woww you really gonna compare him to MJ? MJ was the most famous athlete ever, no one, not even your boy LeBron can create as big as an impact if they left their sport like MJ did. And do you even watch the NBA? The league didnt change last year because Kobe wasnt retiring yet. Now hes having one of the biggest farewell seasons ever, hes doubling and tripling ticket prices for Laker tickets, hes selling out every stadium, and even before his retirement announcement he was always on the front page of every sports media whether he and the Lakers were good or not, on NBA.com theres never a time where i didnt see Kobe on the top 3 most talked about players. Kobes legacy is too big to not have an impact, youre dumb if you believe the league will feel the same with him gone.

[@iloading_]

It's funny how uneducated fans say Kobe was carried. In the 3 peat wit shaq look at his stats in the playoffs. 1999-2000 22.5 points 6.3 reb and 5 apg 2000-2001 28.5 points 6.0 reb and 6 apg 2001-2002 25.2 points 5.5 reb and 5.5 apg and those were when he was 21,22,and 23 years old.lol infinite fans.

stch2416 We know Kobe is past his prime. We don't deny that. We don't know exactly how much Kobe has left either thoe. Lebron gots nothing on Kobe when it comes to the clutch situations, When the matter counts & seizing the moment. the difficulty of shots kobe makes or the killer instinct and how he embraces and conquers the moment with the ultimate confidence is surreal. Lebron is good, Freak of nature athleticism and uses his speed and big body to get to the rim 70% of the time. Playing with a couple HOF's in Dwayne Wade & Ray allen and a surrounding core of good players helps him look better also.

I miss the 90's---- and am so grateful that MJ took Kobe under his wing and Phil Jackson became the coach pf the Lakers. I fell in love in high school with basketball but the first one I really followed was Kareem (Dr J was up there too_ and next it was Magic and then the top of all MJ. Kobe was a kid getting into the NBA but asked MJ in a game for some pointers and their relationship was awesome. There are so many other players who were soooo good- watch the 92 Dream Team doc. I could go on and on about other players that were soooo good (Allen Iverson , Oakley, etc) But Kobe was way up there when looking at the best of the best- but not ahead of MJ.

[@SeecretWeapon]

pretty simple , he never deserved them. He probably didn't deserve the 2008 award either if you can pick a year he deserved MVPs lets hear them

[@biesjo]

Dkouts57 you Better take another look at those 1st of 3 titles naw forget that 02-03 ) and 05-06 and Yes the league robbed him

[@SeecretWeapon]

biesjo the first 3 titles he was 2nd fiddle to the most dominant player probably ever! he did NOTHING in the first title run! 02-03 there were THREE teams in the West with better records than the Lakers you think Kobe deserves MVP that year over Duncan? Led the Spurs to the best record All NBA First Team Defense All NBA First Team Just because Kobe played huge minutes average 30-6-6 DOES NOT MEAN he should win MVP MVP is for the most VALUABLE PLAYER NOT player with nice stats it is for the player who CONTRIBUTED THE MOST TO TEAM SUCCESS 05-06 The Suns finished as the SECOND SEED Lakers the SEVENTH seed. I'm not that excited about the Nash getting it but you don't give MVPs to gaudy stats , there has to be team success behind it The Lakers won 45 games! If you give the MVP to Kobe that might be the lowest win total EVER for an MVP on a team. Duncan, Dirk, Kidd, Wade, Nash, Billups ALL have more right than Kobe to that MVP TEAM SUCCESS is more important than individual numbers almost all MVPs should have their numbers dropped when teams win and their numbers go up when they are losing Should Jordan have gotten MVP in 87? how about 1989 and 1990? His stats are much better than Magic's fact is YOU HAVE TO WIN and in 2008 Paul took a less talented team , had a better year than ANY of the Nash years and won only ONE LESS game than the Lakers so NO, Kobe DOES NOT DESERVE ANY MVPs

[@Chenrandyliu]

Kobe was unconscious that whole season...GOAT!

[@Dom2K]

Give me Kobe's prime days over Lebron's any day of the week. Respect to both legends, but Kobe had way more skill. Lebron depends way more on athleticism, speed, and his unnatural size that correlates with that. Kobe had wayyy more skill as far as footwork, shot, moves. And his killer instinct was ridiculous as well. Lebron is no doubt the greatest today, but Kobe's prime days were better.

[@DJ000123456]

Dom2K like you said, lebron is better at athleticism, and if you are smart, when choosing between skills and athleticism,u know you should always pick the one with more athletic, like in 2K, 99 Athleticism 80 skills, or 99skills 80Athleticism, and the scary thing is that lebron skills also aint bad at all. he is right there with the great

[@Dom2K]

That's not even close to true. Larry Bird is one of the best players in history - was not athletic at all and is still better than a bunch of players who are athletes today. The Spurs are the antichrist when it comes to athleticism, and they`ve been winning for 3 decades. There are plenty of athletic trash players in the league today. That's an illusion that you need athleticism to be great because it looks cool.

[@s0n0legend06]

Completely agree. Kobe has that "it" factor that i think only jordan had.. hard to explain

[@CSA893]

Dom2K My favorite player all time is Kobe Bryant and I definitely agree with Kobe's prime being more exciting/better. However, in effectiveness on the court, Lebron's prime has the edge cause he is a much better passer, rebounder, and defender than Kobe, mainly because James is an athletic freak

[@Dom2K]

CSA893 LBJ only averaged 2 more assits and rebounds than Kobe on career, and the years when Kobe was contending and had a team, he'd average 6 assist.

Kobe is the last of a dying breed. The kind that will tough it out and keep on trying. Will carry his team if the other guys aren't doing well. Won't flop and will keep on persevering. We have seen flashes from lebron ex. Finals game 5 first quarter but ultimately just gave up and the spurs won. Also when he was in Cleveland, lebron opted out because he couldn't carry the team to a championship. I don't blame him I respect him, but he won't be a fighter that fights to the last breath ever like Kobe

[@Whoknows352]

Kobe has had great teammates on all of his championship runs, kobe has never carried anyone, lebron had no one on his team in cleveland, if you are gonna say someone carried a team look at what d wade did in 06, he out played better than kobe ever has in any of his finals appearances, Kobe has the most misses of all time and is a ball hog, he is not some great team player like you describe

[@BRBallin1]

WhoKnows352 "kobe has never carried anyone" There goes your credibility down the drain.

[@Whoknows352]

Who did Kobe carry? you have 0 credibility as it is, just a blind fanboy.

[@BRBallin1]

WhoKnows352 Well when Kobe carried, his team had shitty players like Kwame. But when Gasol came in, he didn't really have to "carry" but he technically did by being the leading scorer and coming in clutch during the 4th quarter.

[@Whoknows352]

Kobe did not come up clutch a lot in his career, he has a handful of game winners, he got bailed out by derick fisher alot i will give him his props he is a great scorer, but he also has the most misses of all time and he isn't really a good person, he would have won way more championships if he wasn't so abrasive, none of his teammates have ever really like him, and he demanded the ball too much and shot way too much, Kobe could have surpassed michael but he held himself back with his attitude

[@maxmiller4177]

what i loved about kobe was his creativity. Dude created ways to get to his spots. He was unreal with the ball in his hands and it was even better once he developed his facilitating. 08-13 were some amazing years from his game

[@nicholas_ablong]

You see, what haters don't realize is this: MJ had a superstar, hall-of-famer in Scottie Pippen for ALL 6 CHAMPIONSHIPS, later with the last 3 w/ Dennis Rodman also (another superstar HoF). LeBron (exclusively about Miami) had Dwyane Wade, & Chris Bosh (2 superstars). Just like LeBron only had an all-star in Kyrie Irving (who is definitely bound to be a superstar) w/ Cleveland, *** Kobe only had Gasol in '09 & '10 as an all-star teammate!*** After averaging nearly 30 ppg as the sidekick to Shaq in '00 - '02.

[@tom9895]

kobe had 3 players with over 8 rebounds the best center in the league and a top 5 one, a great defender and sixth man of the year , and role players like fisher and ariza. so he had a great team , jordan had a great team for 96-98 but they were old and didnt have great role players, either way jordan preformance in the playoffs is easily better than kobe, kobe was barley the finals mvp in 10 and wasnt from 00 to 02

west jack not like shaq can do it by him self... both needed teammates to win, bryant needed gason and bynum maybe just gasol.. shaq had wade

[@reedu1298]

xzinx gasoline and Bynum are no where compared to Shaq kobe made gasol and bynum look good

[@xzinx]

well then shaq made kobe look good, shaq was the go to guy in their 3 rings

[@reedu1298]

Yes cause Kobe was 23? Keep in mind that LeBron is in his prime at 29. If you let Kobe more develop they could of had so many titles

[@YungJack913]

I think kobe could have won Atleast 2 finals MVP's when he had shaq kobe was averaging 30 something points but nobody could stop shaq

[@mikegoswami3309]

Just look at Kobe’s foot work, nobody can come close to Kobe’s dominance.

[@reggieb4188]

Who watching this in 2017??

[@meetseth3]

thank you so much for uploading this. More Kobe playoff series highlights please

[@CariX0]

You’ll never catch this man averaging 1.4 points the entire series in the 4th quarter 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@lilin3005]

I know who you are talking about, lol

[@RGPLUSULTRA]

I love how when they're being awarded the trophy, they're all wearing championship hats, and Phil is just wearing his own. 10 RINGS LIKE A BOSS.

[@MegaMjjordan]

To all riding Kobe. Remember championships are won by teamwork not by individual star players

[@LilDrizzy51]

[@dadadda12]

[@sleeks9939]

[@israelbanuelos1149]

KOBE ' the GOAT ' bryant

[@Jumpskillzz]

If people say kobe couldn't do it without Shaq, LeBron couldn't do it without d-Wade, bosh & ray allen from last year

[@hamesrm1]

So much fun watching him play

[@tevinbeech]

Allen iverson highlights please..one of the greatest players of all time who played his heart out every game

[@FoxyChariot]

Ball2ifall he has them dude

[@raferalstonisgoat4457]

This to me is Kobe's best most impressive series. Double teams didn't stand a chance.

[@Ira_Slingsby]

Haters will say "Kobe NEVER passes." Only player in history to have over 30,000 Points and 6000 Assists. This finals in particular, averaging 7.4 APG, while scoring 32.4 PPG, your argument is invalid. Kobe Fan for LIfe.

[@MinecraftTheGod]

Ira Slingsby LeBrons already got more assists and hes 6 years younger.

[@Ira_Slingsby]

Adrian Grant Dude, did my comment at all hint at a comparison with Lebron? No. I was saying "Haters". But since you brought that up, Lebron is good, Kobe is Great, and MJ is the Greatest.

[@MinecraftTheGod]

Ira Slingsby How will we know if Kobe passes if we don't compare him to someone else? It's like saying Roy Hibbert is the greatest scorer without saying who's better.

[@makaveli7142]

He was unstoppable

[@pilszdoe]

Imagine if Lakers would of met the Cavs instead of Magic’s how focused Kobe n the Lakers was this year my money on LA n there would be no Kobe Leviton Debate cuz Kobe would of dominated them like he doing Magic toughest defensive I seen on Kobe still didn’t matter that year
