Because he wasn't a player to take a bad team beyond it's place like Lebron. He was a killer who could take a great team to a ring.

[@sandman1347]

+amunrahll Simply not true. Lebron led Cleveland to the best record in the NBA back to back years in 09' and 10' before going to Miami. The year he left, that same Cleveland team minus him had the worst record in the league. Literally Lebron made the difference between being the best and being the worst. Then he spent 4 years in Miami and took that team to the finals every year while Cleveland was in the lottery every year. As soon as Lebron went back to Cleveland, they were back in the finals every year. Kobe doesn't make that kind of impact. When Shaq left the Lakers in 04', they went from 56 wins to 34 wins. Kobe missed a lot of time that year with injury but the team did not do any better when he was in the line-up. The following year, they were 45-37. Still not very good and they lost in the first round despite having Lamar Odom and some other decent talent. The Lakers didn't become a real contender again until they had Gasol and Bynum. In other words, Kobe did not win when the team wasn't stacked.

Going for 50 after this mempis game in a B2B gave me chills i really knew in the moment i may never see anything on that LEVEL of play/compete again from an NBA player.

Dahntay finally got Kobe in 2013 with the not letting the shooter land clean tactic. Did it all through the 00s with Memphis and Denver.

[@johnb6546]

People talk about LeBron having bad teams....kobe had to score 40, 50 and 60 for his team to barely win. The lakers waisted about 3-4 years of Kobe’s prime because he had to play with nothing but bums .....smfh

[@stinky_pole]

John B gotta respect Kobe’s loyalty and drive tho to keep ballin and to remain at lakers!

It was his own fault for forcing shaq out and creating the perception of being a bad teammate so that nobody wanted to join him

LeBron playing on bad teams is a myth. 07 Cavs were the 4th best defensive team in the league with the best defensive coach in charge.

[@BrWithFMJ]

Pau dropped 35 on 74% shooting too. What a duel

[@blazer33x]

his footwork

[@239jangalang4]

He was never out of step no matter what the defense did

[@suicideking4577]

Kobe was the one guy who could have broke Wilt's record 100 points in a game. And since Wilt played 90 years ago against short unathletic white guys, it might never be broken but when Kobe was in the zone he could make any shot any time.

[@larryfitz6567]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂90 years ago

[@macnificent4]

Do your research on wilts competition throughout his career before making another dumb comment like that

[@macnificent4]

@Morning Star 🤦‍♂️No shit sherlock....played against a lot of hall of fame blacks also. Like Kareem and bill Russell

[@macnificent4]

Erich Von Manstein He clearly didn’t lose every game or close 🤦‍♂️ and the only reasons he lost at all to those guys were because they almost always had way better rosters than will. Do y’all clowns do any research?🤣🤣

[@macnificent4]

@Erich Von Manstein 😂😂😂Facts are just excuses to the ignorant. I guess in a team game like basketball....teammates don't matter right?😂😂 Wonder why he won games more with the Lakers than philly?🤔🤔Oh yea....because he had the logo, gail Goodrich and other HOFers on his team. I guess teammates matter😂. Btw...I never mentioned his stats once so quit with the PATHETIC strawman bs clown.

I was at this game and I still have the pics March 2007!!!!!!!

[@dyreman20]

Just imagine if this man had a somewhat decent team around him or if Gasol came a couple years earlier. I feel sick to my stomach to know that his REAL prime was wasted on talent like this. You give him one all-star, and a couple role players, he would've had at least 7 chips...there was no player, or no TEAM that could've stopped him.

[@doglrene7931]

NR 41 did it in 2011

[@jxassassin2624]

Cant stop a team who's constantly shooting free throws all series

[@rent2242]

Hell yeah I agree. I remember telling people in 2005-2007 that Kobe is one of those great players that just needs one all star around him to go all the way. If you put gasol on that team a couple of years earlier with scrubs around him and Kobe, I think they win it every year. Kobe just needed a second reliable scorer

[@McStrokeAvision]

Yup he’s years got wasted with bums

[@alexl.4362]

@@McStrokeAvision Good thing he won all those championships earlier.

[@choward5430]

What Curry did the other night vs OKC was indeed special. Curry is a special player no doubt. And I will say that in my opinion, Curry is the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA. But what Kobe did against Memphis here is total destruction. He put in major work against them and no one other than Michael Jordan could do this.

[@abualzuaree]

Kobe in his prime 2005-2007 was literally outscoring teams.. he was absolutely unstoppable

[@taewiz863]

Agree. The problem I have with curry is that all he really is, is a great shooter. One of the best if not the best ever. But that’s it. Kobe’s offensive play was flawless in every aspect. Footwork, difficult shots, 3pt, mid range, post. He has one of the purest if not the purest jumper I’ve ever seen. His offensive catalog is rivaled by no one. And he’s a great defender as well. I personally think MJ was a better defender than kobe, but kobe was better offensively than Jordan(skill)

[@kinglion1044]

CURRY DOESNT EVEN HAV EVRY SHOT IN HID ARSENAL HE CANT B D GREATEST SHOOTER N THE GREATEST SHOOTER ON D LIST IS KOBE AT 3

Kobe is the *only player in NBA history to score 30pts in a qtr twice, 40pts in a half 3 times, 50+ in 3 qtrs w 0 turnovers twice, 50+ in 3 qtrs 6 times, 62pts in 33 minutes, 60+ in 37 min or less twice. & 60+ on 31 shots or less twice.* Y'all know how unreal that is ?

It’s been 2 years and still miss him..not even being in the NBA and playing but just being part of this world. The only personality that I wanted to meet..never cared about meeting celebrities my whole life but it would’ve have been an honor to shake his hand. RIP KBB 🙌🏽

Kobe in his prime over Lebron any day

[@TheKingofKings2272]

I mean I don't want to be disrespectful to Lebron or anything because he is great but I think Kobe in his prime woUld've won last years Championship vs Golden State and he wouldve limited Steph

[@TheKingofKings2272]

Who was playing for the Lakers in 2006? In 2012 Lebron had Mike Miller, Dwyane Wade, Shane, Chris Bosh enough said right there alone. All Kobe had that year in 2006 IN THE WEST was Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, and Andrew Bynum...who else Kwame Brown, Ronny Turiaf, Brian Cook?? The hell are you talking about comparing those two playoff years. Also Kobe also won a Gold medal. Lebron is great but in his prime vs Kobe I'm taking Kobe cause I know he can make those free throws and make that big shot. Lebron is a different story one night he'll make those big time tough clutch shots, next night he'll miss big time free throws and shots. Also he's never been a great 3 point shooter. Neither has Kobe to be fair

[@TheKingofKings2272]

dyodoublej Also what challenge was in the Eastern conference last year. What about 2007? Last year he didn't carry anyone until the finals

[@Stickman786]

+dyodoublej you lied about kobes 2006 playoff stats. He averaged 28 ppg on 50% shooting... And don't compare lebron, whos had a cake walk in the east for most of his career. I'll give you one simple example. Prime wade and prime lebron are both on the same level with kobe so so theres virtually two superstars on the same level as kobe on one team plus Bosh = pau gasol. Lamar odom =? Bynum nonexistant cause of injuries. The west is greater the east yet kobe still had the same success as lebron, winning two championships. Kobe carried lesser talent in a harder conference than lebron. Kobe faced more 50 win teams in his 3 final appearances from 08-10 than lebrons 5 straight final apperances lmao. 2012 lebron had a superstar team around him in a weak conference, made it to the finals while kobe faced the second winningest team in the nba in the first round.

[@TheKingofKings2272]

+dyodoublej No you tried to be slick and compare ONE of Kobes prime years to ONE of Lebron's prime years only you said nothing about 2008 or 2009 or even 2010. The differenced between your comparisons and the problem with them is Kobe had a horrible below average team that year and Lebron and 3 point shooters post players and great defenders. OF COURSE Kobe doesn't hit all of his clutch shots but he has made some huge ones in his career. Same with Lebron. You just like Lebron better I love both of them I just think Kobe is better simple as that

[@lioninthesun]

Prime Kobe was the perfect basketball player. The problem is he didn't have a long prime. Although he was great he was only prime from 22 to 28, injuries did affect his athleticism and that took him over the top.

This game shows a little bit of the early chemistry that was already brewing for the next title run. Lamar looking for Kobe with some smooth passing, pretty sure Kobe was letting Sasha know to keep shooting those open 3s when he gets them, and even Bynum was moving a little better and dishing from the post.
