Prime Bryant vs Prime Arenas: Kobe Seeks Revenge for Gil’s 60 in 2nd Duel of 2006-07

[@dcshow]

Did anyone ever “duel” Kobe better than Arenas did in 2006-07??

[@elliotgreen2481]

T-Mac duel in Orlando in 2003. They both went at it that year.

[@kb4231]

D-Wade's 40 on Christmas day comes to mind, but I'll go with Arenas at number one.

[@caldwmc]

This game wasn't no duel. Kobe went 14-26 for 38. Gilbert went 9-29 for 35. Kobe shot over 50% Gilbert shot 30%. That's not a duel. 1 guy just wanted his points regardless if the team won the game lol

3:56 kobe missing an easy dunk & then throws down a 360 the very next possession is my favorite part

[@samuraibrother5778]

That's kobe for you

[@jerluc7209]

my favorite part too, miss a dunk? dont go back on defense, grandstand and wait for a cherry pick pass, then all by yourself look around like, "where is the defense man" and do a uncontested (judges give a 7.5 average) 360 dunk. a lesson for all the young players, mamba mentality

Sorry, one more thing: Kobe didn't guard Arenas much in this game, and Arenas was 9-29, only 4 assists and 3 TO's. Lotta bricks. During Arenas' 60 point game earlier, Kobe only guarded him in the OT (and Arenas scored 15 points!). But in neither game did Arenas guard Kobe (only on switches, which were rare). Still, I've changed my mind about Arenas. Dude was on fire for 3 years.

Before the injury, Arenas was a scoring (not just shooting) machine. He could score in so many different ways. He brags about his 2nd to 6th NBA seasons yes, but what he brags about is true. From 2002-03 to 2006-07, he was really HIBACHI 🔥🍳. Yes, his stats in those 5 seasons (around 24 ppg and 6 apg) could compete with ANYBODY'S best 5-consecutive-seasons run in the modern era of the NBA.❤

[@HeathOverledger]

Sure he’s a bonafide offensive threat but none of all that really matters if you do nothing in the postseason

[@bettyjeanstokes360]

Kobe shaking and baking them, boy this is going to be a game to remember. These Kobe's babies keep getting better and better. I love to see him get revenge, HIS TAKING NO PRISONER GAME.

This was also the day after that Gilbert Arenas and Deshaun Stevenson shooting contest happened. Funny thing is Gilbert shot pretty bad from the field and the three while Deshaun Stevenson shot like 5/7 from three or something like that

[@peteinthedesert7082]

For 3 seasons (2005-07) Arenas had MONSTER years: 25.5, 29.3, 28.4 ppg. He was that one rare player on a poor team that was allowed to shoot as many times as he wanted to. However, is career fg% is bad (.406) and was only average 3 point shooter (33%). I don't like the comparisons to Kobe. Most importantly, he rarely guarded Kobe, whereas Kobe WANTED to guard Arenas (and did for a majority of plays). Arenas was more like Iverson (but only for 3 years), but Iverson averaged more assists. Arenas DEFINITELY stepped up to the challenge vs. Kobe, and wasn't afraid of him. For that, he gets props.

[@peterinlq7701]

Being an avid Kobe/Laker fan, I appreciate this vid. I always thought Arenas was a loud mouthed-shoot first point guard, with MAD skills and elite quickness. And....he was! LOL.... but after looking at other Arenas vids and checking his stats,.... his stats during the 3 years with the Wizards (2004-07, before his major injury) actually compare to Kobe's stats in the same time. Arenas had 3-5 pts/game avg. fewer than Kobe, yes, but otherwise they were "almost" equal. Except Arenas was never known as a good/great defender, and he didn't do well keeping his teammates in the game, but then again, the Wiz had very few scorers on those teams (Antawn Jamison was solid 20 per). And Gilbert wasn't the killer and the winner like Kobe/MJ, but who was? So this vid changed my perception of Gilbert Arenas as a player. Thank you for posting this!
