Kobe Bryant
Hidden Gem Full Highlights (Rare)
LA Lakers vs Charlotte Hornets
February 2, 2001
Staples Center
- 44 pts, 9r and 5 blocks (career high) in 48:00 minutes / 15-30 fg, 14-14 ft
Through the season’s first 44 games, Kobe was posting 29.7 ppg on 46-32-86 (%). This matchup against Charlotte was the 4th of a 6 game span in which Shaq nursed an injured foot. Kobe was therefore tasked with playing much more aggressively on offense. He proceeded to average 34p, 9r and 4a during the 6 game stretch. The Lakers went 4-2, including wins over the playoff bound Kings and Suns.
Led by 1st year Hornet & All-star level playing Jamal Mashburn, the 2000-01 Charlotte Hornets were a formidable squad. By Mashburn’s side stood a mix of both young guys - Baron Davis, Jamaal Magloire - and seasoned veterans such as PJ Brown, Elden Campbell, and Otis Thorpe. Their starting 2-guard David Wesley averaged a career best 17.2 ppg in ‘01. Charlotte had a 25-22 record heading into this Lakers contest. They concluded the season at 46-36, good for the East’s 6th seed.

22 years old. With a COMPLETE bag like that. ‘01 was a prequel to 2003 to me. And 2003, literally has no flaws to his game. 2001 was the year in my opinion where he held back nothing in his game, offense and defense. Working hard in the off-season from a championship, came back more hungry. SN: “1st and 10 at the 13, line of the game!!!! #RIPChick&Kobe

[@sonnyliston9376]

Couldn’t agree more. 2001 was my favorite year for Kobe. It was the first year people got to see that he was the best player in the world

[@spongetheking7102]

The reason people don’t talk that much about 01 kobe is mainly because in 03 and 06 he was better defending and offensively but 01 kobe was massively underrated

[@elliotgreen2481]

Sponge The king You right about that. Putting up those numbers WITH a prime Shaq, and elevating his game in the playoffs, against the Spurs and Kings mainly, TOP NOTCH defenses and making them look like amateurs, oh yea, at 22 years old!!! The man was great.

[@spongetheking7102]

Elliot Green I mean that could be the best season from a 22 so yeah

[@youngsain3]

All FACTS! 03 when he scored 40 9 times in a row is the most insane shit ever. Would’ve broken social media.

[@Ninja-ib8wm]

Curious to know how you got these hidden gems. VHS Tape perhaps?

[@dcoop1422]

1:59 ... WTF is going on with that rim man, NASTY.

[@lennybeason1110]

Kobe was the best player in the league at this time. If u put this Kobe in today's smallball soft as cotton defensive era he's averaging 40!

[@afterthought6889]

2000 was Shaq or Vince Carter. 2001 prob still Shaq, but by the 2001 Playoffs it was clear Kobe was number 1. 2002 TMac. 2003 Kobe's Revenge

[@wesleygriffin7857]

[@Riles3152]

2000-2001 was probably my favorite season watching Kobe play. The only 1 I would possibly rank ahead of that would be 08-09 when he finally proved he could win a title w/out Shaq. I believe Kobe was coming into the beginning of his prime in this season, and the result of that was him being arguably the best individual player in basketball at 22 years old.

[@dcshow]

Awesome comment

[@coreyrowe4119]

Kobe was a monster in 02-03 with that crazy stretch of 40+ point games he went on in the 2nd half that season.

[@kevinestes9800]

Kobe was probably the best two way player in the league that year amongst guards, as Iverson, McGrady, and Carter were not defensive players and the likes of Stackhouse, Marbury, Francis, Terry, and Van Exel were all one way gunners on mediocre teams or worse (all would be 6th man today). This year is when Kobe became a top 5 player in the league.

[@865style]

If kobe could of played starter minutes from day 1 and if they didn't have shaq kobe would of averaged probably like 23 points in his rookie year then around 28 per game in 97,98,99 and by 2000 he would of been putting up 33 per game. He'd probably have another 12k points easily if shaq wasn't there for his first 8 years. Obviously he wouldn't have 3 more rings though.

[@Trinx323]

@domcarter keep these GEMS coming, especially this season. 99-2002 frobe is missing from the tube.

I watched it live... it was a great game, though I was a bit nervous as they didn't have Shaq and the Hornets were a solid team that year. Kobe posting those numbers against Baron Davis was no joke.

Thanks bro.... them road games with Kobe wearing his all black adidas joints got me in a nutshell lol love 2001 Kobe

[@Serching4JerryGarcia]

Jesus Christ how many more scoring titles could Kobe have won if he actually tried and cared more about them? I remember his MVP year (2008) he also almost won what would've been his third scoring title in a row but Lebron beat him by a point.

[@user-rg4vz4mb4o]

There was one year he could of won it and practically gave it to Durant on the last game of the season.

[@Serching4JerryGarcia]

@@user-rg4vz4mb4o yeah I remember. All he had to do was score a certain amount of points in one game and it would've been his but he was more concerned with preparing for playoffs run.

[@wizzjo1nt5]

Imagine if Kobe actually cared about this stuff like most players and player rankers do, smh.

[@Serching4JerryGarcia]

@@wizzjo1nt5 just would've solidified his case even more of being the greatest shooting guard of the 21st century.

[@randomperson2540]

This is where it blows my mind where people say he was a Robin if not carried by Shaquille O’Neal Was Shaquille O’Neal the best player and leader of his team, yes that was clear. The office was still being run through him but to say that they weren’t in the same tier of talents during that season and on especially when you realize you areyou’ll be surpassed him in 2003 is an understatement to say the least. These are one of the games you just prove it and there’s plenty more to look at the Spurs series during the season and you might just believe me

Can you bring back the video when Kobe popped off against Sacramento in the 06-07 season? It was him vs. Mike Bibby at that time and it was on TNT with Marv and Chuck calling the game.

kobe numbers would have been more crazier if shaq was not there and kobe would be the 1st option. look at his stats when shaq is not in the lineup omg!

I just don't want to post it on here I don't think he would care but I just started dealing with this person.
