Kobe most definitely top 5 all time

[@John-jm4nv]

Nobody can never say Kobe wasn't on MJ level cause he was! Prime Kobe was just plain UNSTOPPABLE!!!!!

[@michaellynch5637]

+John Long He definitely was at MJ's level during stretches of his career. I'd still say MJ was better overall and had the better career/accomplishments and stats, but Kobe definitely was at his level from time to time. This series is a good example.

[@princesschilumba3889]

Michael Lynch all the time

No he never was

@@michaellynch5637 Kobe was never at his level

[@Nbafan2000]

@@michaellynch5637 yes 🙌🏻 100% Kobe is top 5 to me but I think his “peak” was late 90’s older MJ level in 06 to 08. & 2009 as well as 10 he was as good as MJ wearing #45 in 95 for sure. Definitely a huge compliment for sure. Kobe’s unbelievable. Especially with his defense and top 2 skilled player ever.

[@giannistheoggod]

Name a team that kobe has faced in his career when it was autimatic he was going to win that series, litterally every series kobe went through was extremely hard

[@ArmandoKozomara]

Kobe was a beast in 08 especially in the playoffs and led a team with not too much talent to the finals that year!

[@Riles3152]

True that. People forget Bynum didn't play at all in the playoffs and he was emerging as an all-star big man before his knee injury. Pau was certainly a star level player and Lamar had star capability but was too enigmatic meaning you didn't really know what you were going to get from him night to night. Everyone else was essentially a role player.

[@dl6kid]

He didn’t get gasol till mid season either

[@geraldjiading5866]

The way Kobe schooled Brewer in the low post. Oh my. Textbook footwork.

[@giannistheoggod]

Kobe bryant is the greatest player of all time if you look at all the competition he faced and his extreme mental toughness to endure anything

[@raymatrixOffical]

Factsssss he is bro foreal!

[@JustBoredBru]

33, 7, 7 bro lol Kobe is simply amazing

[@arturoluna475]

Kobe has to be the greatest 1v1 offensive player in history. Even MJ admitted he might not be able to beat him 1v1.

[@sportjames23]

LOL MJ said he'd body Kobe before he'd let him score 80 points on him and that Kobe stole his moves. No way in hell Kobe would take MJ one on one.

[@ziadeissa3_]

@@sportjames23 He literally said quote: "And I don't think I'd lose, except Kobe Bryant cause he steals all my moves." So he DID admit that Kobe could beat him, because he said except Kobe Bryant. Yes, Kobe did steal his moves but he made them look better. Just because he stole his moves doesn't mean he couldn't beat him. but my top 3 is still 1. Jordan 2. Kobe 3. LeBron

[@darth2312]

Respectable but what about Bird, Hakeem, Magic, and Duncan? All time greats.

[@lukaz3336]

@@ziadeissa3_ Kobe definitely didn't make MJ'S moves look better. MJ was unique in the way he moved.

i will never forget this lakler season we lost to the celtics but we won the next 2 years this was an amazing team with incredible chemistry

[@dlawson688]

that shot at 13:23 was mean spirited!! I love to see determination like that!!

[@LittleBoy08]

I love these series. This is the era where free throws were earned because you are unstoppable not because you are intentionally looking to get fouled. Yes Im talking about Harden fake SG

[@makinghistory9270]

kobe was crazy good from 1999-2013 his prime prime tho was 2006-2010

[@rickybrain3331]

A healthy Bynum and a healthy Ariza Easily could have been 2008 nba champions. Best believe that!

[@SpicyChikenDlux]

This is the first round and we’re facing d will boozer korver, okur, and kirelenko.....and milsap!!!! We played a loaded Denver team in round 2 , then we beat a tough Duncan spurs team . Wow!! All without Bynum..... we beat Celtics if we have Bynum.

[@giannistheoggod]

If you think about it kobe won way more championships than lebron, cause kobe every single team kobe faced were extremely good teams, lebron has faced extremely easy competition in the eastern conference and yet he’s still 3-5 in the nba finals. People should count series like this as nba finals wins for kobe.

deron williams reaction tho when kobe banks in the and 1 lol

[@KungaMatata]

This was Gasol's first year in the playoffs and he wasn't as great until he went through struggles against KG. Odom should've been 6th man but Bynum's injury as well as Ariza's really hurt them. I'm sorry, Fisher, Radmonivic, Vujacic, Ronny Turiaf, and Luke Walton is not a good enough supporting cast.

[@charltonmccullough4494]

Then how did they get to the finals?...

[@Lakers24bn]

Charlton Mccullough thanks to Kobe playing out of his mind against the Jazz and the Spurs.

[@SuperWizzle85]

Don’t do my guy Fisher he may not be an elite talent but Kobe even said he trusted Fish down the stretch of any game to hit clutch shots

[@darkchild4neverever]

Lakers bench would have been better if they didn't have key injuries. Bynum being injured meant no Odom off the bench. Ariza being injured took him off the bench. Lakers could have used Ariza to start at SF against Peirce.
