Kobe Bryant's 2003-04 Season Was INCREDIBLE! 🐍 | GOAT SZN

[@ArmandoKozomara]

Kobe did it during the most difficult era to score in in NBA history. Look how much traffic there is, the lane is clogged and nothing came easy. Compared to today's NBA which has much less defense and physicality, and crazy spacing. Kobe would average 40 today easily.

[@JonasWeather]

Absolutely 💯

[@bigd7722]

Facts

[@wesleysnipes3645]

As relentless as he was, I'd say 50 a game.

[@TRKZay]

Kobe wouldn’t do that specifically because that style of play doesn’t win chips anymore. He said that in an interview when asked about James harden and how much he would’ve averaged. Kobe is set on winning. He scored to win. In today’s game Kobe would be the leader but his back up would have to pull just about the same amount of weight as he is. So Kobe would still drop 25-32 a game with ease but more of his teammates would have to drop 10 a game. Same for Jordan. Because them specifically they took on the offensive load but it was too much for a team back then. Now in today’s game 2-3 players on one team can have 20 points a piece. So even tho someone like Kobe or Jordan did their part, the team didn’t pull the rest of their weight. So individually they’d be great. But they’d have less wins.

[@Maal7432]

Definitely the best defense era ever and especially that season. The defenders were draped all over him.

[@Dennnis_ale]

His footwork was 🔥 So much work behind the scenes.. Pretty sure he gave a lot of defenders nightmares this season!

[@inexpugnabilis]

Underrated Season. Yes the 2004 NBA Finals were one of the worst moments of all time apart from game 2, but the whole season was packed with great Kobe moments. Especially the game against T-Mac in March 2004 where he started slowly amidst some private issues with his wife before taking over and eventually winning that game or also the game in Portland where he made that game-tying shot, before winning the game with a buzzer beater was phenomenal.

[@melvinhhcp3615]

@@nicholashackie1407 GP was a huge talking in 04 when all of this was actually happening.

That's how the Lakers won 4 straight to close out the Spurs.

Fr I just thought this, Lebron may be more effective but as far as to WHAT he can do as a player, Kobe was lightyears ahead of Lebron and this will never change. Some of these shots are just so damn difficult, and some of his moves to create separation, I mean... Lebron just cannot, and never could move like this. Being bowlegged doesn't help at all.

[@derekmatthews2213]

Can we get 04/05 season. That’s a very interesting season.

[@redhedd33]

The crazy thing about this season was that Kobe was charged with rape and had 2 offseason surgeries. He came into the year completely out of shape and without touching a basketball all offseason. He dealt with injuries all season and was going back and forth to Colorado for court proceedings. This was just him playing off pure talent and instinct. The fact that he was still able to play at the level he was able to was one of the most remarkable things I’ve seen and speaks to how incredible of a talent and competitor he was. You still can’t convince me that if he had been as focused as he normally was they would not have won the title, despite all the drama.

It’s a shame that THIS season was overshadowed by his performance in the 2004 NBA finals, which was his worst in his seven appearances. He was beginning to prove that he was the best player in the league with his dazzling offense & exceptional defense. Anyways, in regards to the 2004 finals, let’s give credit where credit is due - the Pistons were a well-balanced team, and their defense was the story of those finals more so Kobe’s shooting woes. In other words, the Pistons not only were the better team but they played like the better team. Did Kobe force a handful of shots? Yes. At the same time, he was the ONLY one keeping the Lakers in each of those five games (let alone won a game if it wasn’t for his heroics in Game 2). Not to mention, he was the ONLY one who was not only able to create for himself but for others as well. In addition, how about the rest of the Lakers (as a team)… forget about Kobe, where were the others? Why is that not talked about?? As far as I could tell, they were nowhere to be found. Shaq already had one foot out the door. Malone & Payton were past their primes. The blame doesn’t just belong to Kobe. It was the media that created the false narrative - “Kobe shot the Lakers out of the finals.” They turned him into the villain when he was trying to be the hero and will a struggling Lakers team to victory… that’s the truth.

I'm a huge kobe fan but this season was not incredible all his numbers were down across the board from 03 he dealt with a tone of injuries after missing only 2 games the pervious two seasons due to suspension. He and Shaq was beefing coming into the season and on top of that he had the false scandal hanging over his head. And top it off had by far his worst finals. He was incredible particularly in the second half of the season where only KG was the only player playing better than. And he had a good western conference playoffs run but overall not the KOBE level of season I expected him to have coming off of arguably the best season of his career in 03.
