[@maxschlepzig641]

This is better than MJ. MJ can't do this, not has MJ outscored a whole team in 3 quarters that was runner up in the Finals that year. Not saying Kobe is better than MJ, but Kobe is undoubtedly in the same league as MJ. As Phil Jackson says: they're a cut above the rest

[@benjohnston8665]

Max Schlepzig I sort of agree with you. When you look at it technically, Kobe Bryant's FG% is the only thing that separates him from other great scorers. If only he learned to trust his teammates and the system like MJ did. I don't like it when he loses his dribble, pump fakes and shoots over the player for a tough shot. MJ wouldn't do that because it isn't a smart shot. If Kobe had a smart shot selection he would have been GOAT. Nevertheless a top 5 player in my books.

This is just basketball at the highest level. Kobe is played super tight throughout this series, rarely does he get anything easy but all 6 games he put on a clinic. And to think this was all when Kobe had broken index finger on his shooting hand, his ring finger on the same hand was developing arthritis from an injury the season before this one, his right knee was in need of surgery constantly swelling up and had fluid drained from it multiple times during the playoffs. Performing at this level through all that was inhuman.

If you watch his interviews, his mindset has always been "what can I do about this nagging injury?" or "what do I do if I'm past my prime?" he always found a way to keep being the assassin that he was. That's the difference between him and the so called "king" of the NBA. He's 34 now and still relying on attacking the basket and athleticism. The guy can't even hit free throws. Kobe in his 30s changed his game even more. Midrange shots, in the post shots, long range bombs, footwork, becoming much more ambidextrous. In his last year after he got back from the achilles he even changed the way he elevated on his jumpshots. Size and strength and all the statistical accolades? Yeah give it to the so called king. But skillset and intangibles? Come on people, stop putting him in the same sentence with Kobe. No bias, its not even close.

[@AuditoryStorytelling]

***** Lebron is not clearly greater. He's lost 4 times in the finals now... he's lost almost as many times as Kobe's won. The only reason Lebron has made it to the finals every year he has is because he's in the most pitiful conference the NBA has seen, ever. the bottom 2 teams aren't even 500 teams. It's a no brainer he'd get there... but he loses because he can't close games against real competition (ie western conference teams). Bottom line... lebron is NOT a closer. It's the one facet his DNA is missing, and the one thing that will forever put him a tier below MJ, Kobe, Bird, Magic, and Kareem. I'm sorry, this is just the truth! He's a great player, but CLEARLY greater than Kobe? That's just untrue. Lebron is gifted... but Kobe is a winner.

There's a reason why he is/was the most complete player in the game... Kobe's offensive arsenal was polished and his defensive tenacity was relentless, the man could score from LITERALLY anywhere.

The shots of Kobe was hitting against the suns in 2010 and Kobe he is my favorite and Idol the Goat and the legend ❤❤❤❤❤

[@devinestrada9953]

Kobe was str8 beastin, he roasted whoever tried to guard em

[@samuel2pac72]

These 18 minutes were dope, time well spent.

[@edwardpaolopakingan6329]

this is the Kobe that i know.

[@mart1n10601]

Unguardable.... Crazy to think that peopel don't put him in thier top 5... That is just factually incorrect. Unguardable KILLER. no super teams, just some decent teamates and wins 5. all loyal rings.

[@nitotech]

Those are some tough shots. Those are shots you no longer see in the NBA besides Curry (even Curry doesn't take shots like that).

[@brandonlee7615]

+2K Universe Your clearly a 5 year old kid who didn't watch Kobe in his prime. Dont even try comparing7 kobe to curry. Kobe is in a different planet that steph will never reach. i say this and im done even a lakers fan.

[@hoopsoutlier9917]

+2K Universe I loved to see curry hit a fading right, 20 footer, over two defenders - both with a hand in his face, one of them 6'8" the other 6'10", to beat the shot clock in game 6 on the road...

[@heissemdickson8208]

+2K Universe He wouldnt....he's nifty but too short and weak. Defenders the size and as quick as grant and channing frye would be a problem. Not taking anything away from curry, hes a beast. just a different kind

[@kame99023]

+nitotech Yes, he does.

[@Hamzethegoat]

No tf he doesn't 90% of Currys shots are open 3s with space to shoot or he dribbles to create space Kobe is literally taking fading contested shots over double teams with defenders hands all over him

[@tloc4418]

I remeber 👀 every single game of these playoffs east and west kobe was still showing us at this time he was the best player in the 🌎

[@CN-cq3lu]

I still can't believe ur gone.... this was still just like yesterday

[@jacob.forrest_]

My favorite highlight series from him. Rest easy Kobe 💜💛

[@jraynes15]

Kobe and Pau were a great 1-2 punch... underrated tandem. Pau is underrated in general

[@CMLemcee]

I’m waiting for the day that people (the haters) will literally give Kobe his flowers. After watching him vs Houston and then the suns I just don’t see how you can’t put him in top two of all time. Many greats before him but it’s just hard to explain Kobe. If he had more athleticism then I think many would call him the goat. Especially had he of not been benched for his first few seasons…

[@benjohnston8665]

Kobes road to the finals in 2009 and 2010 was very difficult he had to verse a lot of good teams. The Lakers faced a lot of tough moments but Kobe's amazing offense always led them to the next round. Compare his road to the finals to Lebrons in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Lebron is fucking pathetic. He vsed the Bobcats, Nets and Pacers in 2014 lmfao.

[@amazinggaming1383]

LaMidrange Aldridge No one would argue with you. LeBron is great and heading to an impressive 5th consecutive Finals trip. Kobe, on the other hand, has beaten more 50 Win teams than LeBron in the playoffs, and it's not even close.

[@chesschampion94]

LaMidrange Aldridge lol pacers were a solid team that year.

[@worldofwarcraftowns1]

***** no he is not "Clearly greater than Kobe" because he is NOT, kobe is better than lebron james, 5-2 in the finals vs his 2-4, enough said Kobe is a better scorer, more clutch, better ft shooter, better overall shooter, more skill, more rings... just a better overall player.

[@worldofwarcraftowns1]

***** you are completely wrong but keep writing buddy... you make no sense at all.

[@worldofwarcraftowns1]

***** stats arent everything, and lebron shot 40% vs the warriors and 42% for the playoffs, Kobe has a different shot selection than any player to ever play the game, no one takes tougher shots than Kobe, and if stats were everything jerry west would be better than Michael Jordan.... he even said himself that Kobe is better than Lebron so enough arguing with you and I dont need to hear from you to know that Kobe is better... I let his play on the court through the years tell the story, when kobe catches fire its over for every team.

[@loukanee]

Man i’m so happy i got to see Prime Kobe play

[@khmertriad]

This was such a great series, with a great team, with great chemistry.

[@shinomar]

I hope the nba fans today could watch this to understand the meaning basketball greatness .🐐

[@Legalizeranch765]

17:02 Kobe got the announcer moaning wtfff, 17:39 the suns fans are cheering Kobe on lol
