@@josephmacias8340 Not hard to score that much if you demand the ball every play and get mad and belittle your team mates in the locker room for not passing to you lol.T There is a reason Kobe leads the league all time in missed shots. There is a reason Phil Jackson didn't really like Kobe all that much. Jackson called Kobe a narcissist and that "Michael was receptive to criticism. He wouldn’t always agree, but he would hear you out. Kobe didn’t have that.” “I did a lot of studying about juvenile narcissism, and juvenile narcissists are the worst because they think they only deserve the best. They want to be the leaders. They don’t accept counseling or advice. You can’t criticize them. Kobe was a juvenile narcissist.” All those are things Phil Jackson said about Kobe. For every game kobe won with his shooting, there is a game where he shot his own team out of the game. This is why Kobe is top 10, but not top 3.

[@lucasmichaels2204]

Furthermore all players that defend Kobe state the same: Kobe’s philosophy is to mentally wear down the defender by keeping on attacking. Imagine someone that keeps coming out you without consciousness. He wasn’t worried about percentages. He never cared about how well that shit looked as long as he won. But the NBA analysts will never tell you this because the stats sheet does not show it. I heard Kobe was only a scorer, this is the epitome of hate. When he sacrificed his game to facilitate along side Shaw, y’all say Kobe was carried. When he became the primary scorer , y’all limit him to scoring. I want to ask y’all: who has a more complete arsenal in their game more than Kobe? I don’t wanna hear passing and getting a board because anyone can do that. We are talking pure skill.

@Inigo Bantok Your information only proves my point. And without Kobe Bryant The Lakers never make the finals.

[@jaegee6137]

RIP KOBE AND DAUGHTER

[@rayden1717]

RIP KOBE

Shaq’s appearance had always overshadowed how crazy skilled he was.

[@Monsterdrumma]

See I think minus his size/appearance I don’t see much skill.

[@richardrichardson3106]

5:26 Kobe missed the alley oop. Teammate got up set. But Kobe still the best sg ever

[@Turk_2023]

Maybe in another reality where MJ did not exist

[@Kila_Kam82]

Naww MJ playa

[@Staalstraal]

Awwww young Wade just strolling along with the big boys

[@edgardo034]

If Shaq had worked to stay in better shape from 2003 on, he would’ve got at least 5 more. Would’ve never left LA. 2000, 2001, 2002 Shaq was a BEAST. If longevity wasn’t a consideration in the GOAT conversation, Shaq would be top 2 for sure.

[@Koritrey]

Rip to the goat Kobe 🙏🏽

[@streetpoetrychannel7698]

Shaq sneak dissin @ da end lol

[@rafaelgomez4250]

Fuck shaq at that moment for saying that

[@MavroProductions]

Remembering Kobe. RIP.

[@ryanjung4416]

Shaq scores so effortlessly it’s like he’s playing against middle schoolers

[@truthteller5521]

I used to always say that! Lmao 😂 I remember feeling how unfair it felt, he was a behemoth with an otherworldly first step and nimbleness.

[@muhandiskarhabba9090]

The difference between Kobe and Michael showed on that final play. Michael know how, when and to whom he will pass the ball whenever necessary.

[@Vic-qy2xg]

did anyone else see the ref count Kobe’s 2 as 3 when his foot was on the line 6:05

[@Backwardsdeer]

i didnt see a ref count anything

[@luchomsay3639]

Oct.19,2020 RIP KOBE congrats LBJ

[@xaviervega468]

Shaq trolling Kobe with his post game interview was the best part.

[@mikelay8339]

Except that he was straight up lying. Shaq was nervous af! It didn’t matter though. Kobe dropped 40 on a team with 2 future Hall of Famers, and went at Shaq in the post a few times as well! Still had the chance to win it at the end, but it shouldn’t have been close. He proved his point. As soon as Pau was added to his roster he got the last laugh! D Wade carried Shaq 13ppg 06 Finals to his 4th ring. Kobe carried Pau to his 2 rings.

[@SG-nd9bf]

Honestly, Heat Shaq is the most underrated Shaq. Was separated from Kobe (RIP obviously), on a new team, fresh start, in best shape since his Magic/early Laker days. You can tell there’s just an extra flair in his game here, almost like a lot of weight has been lifted off of his shoulders, both physically and emotionally.

[@fofficial2440]

9:18 I thought it was james6... R.I.P KOBE

[@heavyhitter5538]

the same shit or worse with the other guy with no perimeter defense😂

[@VideInfra]

Christmas game. I remember. Good times. RIP kobe.

[@samuela9245]

Prime Shaq is the greatest big man of a time!

[@JaceGod]

And they said Shaq carried Kobe, when Shaq does need Kobe to be a champion. They compliment so well, when Shaq is the smooth operator on the inside and Kobe has that killer instinct and facilitates the ball so well. Vintage Kobe! You will forever be remembered Black Mamba.

[@daviddowling2822]

Shaq carried Kobe completely to the first championship. Then Kobe was a gd number 2 for the 2nd ring. And then the 3rd ring Kobe was also a superstar, still the number 2 on the team but a superstar for the 3rd ring. Then he went onto be the number 1 star for his 2 finals MVPs many years later. Progression g.
