Although he seems not to jump the highest but he gets up so fast and can posterise anybody at anytime. His athleticism is unique. He is definitely top 3 best in game dunkers ever.

FACTS

[@jaxondakota7080]

That boi Kobe was trouble back in the day for any opposing team!

[@chitownkidd33]

30-7-6 in 2003 is equal to 36-9-8 in 2021.

[@strickyboiwonder]

no its not

[@chitownkidd33]

@@strickyboiwonder When you account for pace yes it is.

[@nikosofidemporas]

@@strickyboiwonder Plus,teams in 02-03 averaged 95 PPG. Compare that to 111 PPG average in today's league. Kobe would have 35+ easily considering the fact that he had 30 in a team with Shaq and a way worse pace than today that resulted to 16 less points and several less assists and rebs in average for teams.

[@BeefPapa]

@@nikosofidemporas Technically you may be right. But Bryant was built for that 90's iso pace.

[@johnnycee9325]

@@BeefPapa he is right. Which further explains the argument for his GREATNESS!

[@Crow5537]

The year of no shoe deal for Kobe was crazy he shoes were insane that year

[@HRAHMAN91]

30ppg in an era with low scoring games and less possessions. 30ppg in 2003 is like 38ppg in 2022

[@strickyboiwonder]

Probably Kobe's best season. R.I.P Mamba

[@GJG_3]

Nah 06 was his best. Outscored Dallas and 55 in a half

[@Recurses]

​@GJG_3 no it wasn't in 03 he was better defensively

[@annie20232]

Hard to believe he didn't win the scoring title that year. He has like a 10 game streak of scoring 40 or something

[@BRobMint]

The way he was balling that year it’s shocking he didn’t average more. I guess him having to share with Shaq effected his numbers

[@ronin2981]

Coach Phil asked Kobe to slow down or else Shaq wouldn't be pleased if he broke MJ's 40pt streak.

[@bettyjeanstokes360]

Thank you for this Kobe baby, man I just can't get enough of watching Kobe play. He is so amazing, the more you watch his games, the more you want to watch them when you don't have any of them to watch. OMG, that so incredible, Kobe man we love you and miss all of you, every one of you. I just love these games, they are never boring, just exciting. Thank you for sharing Kobe and the Lakers. Thank you.

Couldn't nobody stop Kobe 8!!@

[@ArmandoKozomara]

Man he got better and better, and 2003 was a machine. Then a little setback for a couple of years and got even better in 05!

[@lioninthesun]

Only a physical setback. He was there cerebrally the next season too. Remember he had a great series vs the spurs and wolves in 2004. Just the debacle of Detroit that ruined it

[@TheDignam]

The last game of the Lakers season 2002-2003 (50-32).

Happy I got to watch these games live 🙏🏾 ❤️8/24

[@xctkillaprodigyx2586]

Same I started watching basketball in 01 and am a warriors fan from back then so I was tuned into this one. Kobe is the greatest player I ever watched even though Ik MJs the GOAT. Kobe's right there though!

[@mp6697]

That may have been the best Kobe dunk I ever saw!!

[@Zay_Rich]

Should have been MVP this season honestly.

[@pinstripedynasty6117]

Another gem 💎 can't wait to watch this one

[@anthonypreda1120]

I got even more respect for you being a late 90s baby and diggin in the crates for these videos. Keep up the good ish 💪🏼 PS - Adonl Foyle had no chance.

[@dcshow]

I appreciate that man, and will do. That dunk was absolutely filthy.

[@domo_3532]

Good Job Big Dog 👌🏽 Keep em coming!

Thanks and yessir will do

[@lancertheanswer6351]

Clicked for the thumbnail, stayed cuz its 03 kobe

[@Sheboygan.]

Great job as always, dom! And I appreciate the point you made about how rare threepeats are. From what I can see, a mixture of satisfaction from winning so much and wear and tear from playing 100+ games for 3 straight years usually caps how long a team can win before it needs to be retooled. I really wish the Lakers had defied that pattern and won the 02-03 championship, but that Horry three just wouldn't drop.

[@dcshow]

Thanks so much. I felt it was necessary to emphasize the satisfaction part. Its wild how kobe approached the summer as if they’d lost. His team came back looking like they’d been chillin all summer. But kobe came back with the muscle gain, ready to pursue that 4-peat. Resulted in by far his best season individually through that point in his career. I wish the same had happened for the team as well. 4 in a row would have been incomparable to anything in the modern era.

[@Sheboygan.]

@@dcshow You're right, the improvement Kobe showed that year is a microcosm of him as a player and person. The constant pursuit of improvement, whether he's coming off of failure or success. And the 4-peat definitely would have stood alone in history. The playoff losses in 03 and 08 are the losses that irk me the most when I think about Kobe's career. He played too well those seasons for them to not end in championships.

[@mariogv4083]

Great job. Thanks again for uploading this videos🙏🙏🙏. Its amazing to have all this content in KZbin
