Alot of people remember the Kobe buzzer beaters that send the Lakers up 3-1, but Tim Thomas' shot was one of the few daggers in Kobe's legacy. The guy coulda have been known as the 7th seed that dethroned a legit championship squad with a D+ team instead of the guy who let a 3-1 lead slip away and refused to shot in game 7. I'm a die hard Kobe and Lakers fan, but that shot feels like a dagger every time I watch it.

[@PM-qb6hj]

Semion Johnson Gotta disagree. The Lakers were up 3-1 cos of their defense, not just Kobe. The Suns were a run and gun team led by Mike D'Antoni and scored an average of 94ppg in the games they lost. LA showed up defensively and executed the gameplan. Also, Kobe wasn't even the leading scorer in G3 and G4. I'm not blaming Kobe for them losing, but don't act like the Lakers didn't show up for when they went up 3-1. This wasn't the same as the LBJ-Magic situation or the year after 2007 Kobe-Suns. The Suns were just a better team in the end.

His teammates didn’t step up, the media crucified him for giving up on his teammates and not scoring enough and taking over. 🤷🏾‍♂️

In todays game, Nash would still be a great play maker, but his assist numbers would likely drop because good 3 point shooters are shooting a lot more.

3:58 that move was too nasty. Miss you KOBE!

[@elbertcoleman5441]

Take kobe off this roster, and lakers couldn’t beat the Kentucky wildcats that year

[@MajorGunning]

XD

[@bmxican1023]

I fucking HATE Kentucky

[@razkable]

2006 wildcats were pretty mid...odom kills them...young rondo

[@prolific_kicks3237]

R.I.P Kobe 😫😫😫😫

[@PacketSODMG]

Back when teams didnt need 5 all stars to be one person

[@chrisdonaldson6014]

That suns team did have 3 tho

[@dickgrayson8215]

Lol stfu..lebron sucks

[@Matt-zp1jn]

Chris Donaldson Only 2 that played this series, Amare was out with injury.

[@abbeyyared315]

Dick Grayson you can hate lebron... that’s cool. but no way you can whole heartedly believe he sucks

[@DougWarner25]

Dick Grayson Lebron sucks? You lost all credibility fucking tard

[@michaelmccourt4992]

Kobe’s buzzer beater at the end of the 1st quarter was fucking ridiculous.

[@calebstewart7467]

people don’t understand how goated of a player Nash was, disappointed he never won a ring thou

[@clos24]

Another player in nash if whenever he was feeling it could of shot like 30 times he would of average over 20ppg but that wasnt his style... he was a true captain

Who else is here during the covid pandemic in March ?

Bruh what if

[@davidkralt597]

Nash reminds of how the Mash doctors reprieved the sick and ill in Vietnam from the pangs of death. You know what it is? It's the assists when others can't see it. It's like Gretzky, he knows what the evolution of each play is going to be; thus, providing the perspective that he has some sort of additional eye set inspection lenses.

[@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE]

Nash made these role players like allstars. He deserves those two mvps he had.

[@christiangammon7061]

Imagine Nash iq in a athletic body... I mean DAMN. His body control, Stop and pop. His passing ability. Imagine if his strength was like lebron James? I will admit. His speed was incredible. Even his small body gave him advantages at times I will admit. But Steve Nash is one of goats when it came to iq. He had to be so frustrating to play against.

[@yesukheienkhbat123]

I think Lebron has all of them. Athletic, IQ, speed

[@salp.7346]

Kobe had Luke, Smush and Kwame all in the starting line up.. think about that... nd Bron fans try to sit over here nd say he had a worse team 😂😂 Kobe always above Bron in my book... Respect his greatness for the sport I love 🏀💯

[@jacob7110]

Great editing !!! Seriously I've never subscribed to a channel but your going to be my first. I love how you let the announcer finish what hes saying even though its to the next possession . thank you very impressed

[@Theblackshadow0123]

I was at this game six seats behind courtside right by the basket-the first time in Staples and seeing my childhood idol.

[@matthoffman6962]

Nash was amazing!!! Led the league in assists 5 years I believe. 2x mvp. You could debate the second one. But what is that award really the most valuable to his team? Or best player in the nba? Nash was the engine that made that Phoenix team run and if it wasn’t for mob refereeing he might even have a championship ring. At the very least a finals appearance.

[@afrosamurai64]

Kobe greatest two motion shooter

[@Mayordomo32]

Lendl NKing148 probably Ray Allen tbh

[@BenjaminFranklinFF1706]

tony tonyt remember when mike brown switched Lebron on tony Parker in game 1 of the 2007 finals ? Parker averaged 24 ppg that series LOLOL

[@yuikorj96]

greatest pg ever. my personal fave.

[@alexanderreyes7523]

wow i've never wach nash play, he was awesome

[@laman8914]

There is no better one-on-one player in the NBA than Kobe Bryant.

[@joeyvillarreal761]

Kobe was insane

[@nealdutta4069]

Nash was a tricky little bastard. One of my fav games to watch back in the day.

[@chinedulozy4023]

Steve Nash was a beast ... was more of a swift beast back then in PSP We all can testify to that

[@yjl7237]

0:46 Before look at Curry man, it was look at Nash...

[@mrayhenderson4529]

Kobe footwork is just amazing...and he was hitting 30ft shots way before curry man I miss these dayx

[@thiefkingbakura1320]

My two favorite players of all time.

[@markkevnjflores]

One of my favorite series, life was good back then

[@virgilio855]

Great Kobe, one of the best without a doubt. Miss you. Mozambique

[@omarcruz9934]

Kobe's footwork was next level. Holy...

[@thuurmans]

Thanks for the hd.

[@ravirajaka]

Best days of my life final year of engineering and use to watch these match what fast pace games by steve nash and team love it

[@rasenganb41vtx]

I loved the suns lakers rivalry

[@russell9411]

So nobody is seeing how clutch this NBA kobe is in this video , oh cuz he ain't hit a "game winner" it ain't clutch. Man hit a 3 falling out bounds then came back hit another shot to go up 3 then Kwame gave up a 3 to force out. Haters can change history all u want kobe top 5 all time

[@tenten3488]

More like top 10

[@russell9411]

ten ten top 5 u clown he carried nobody in his peak prime. 05-06 Lakers the worst roster in NBA history. Name me 5 players in history who can carry this team? Name em im going b wantin and dont say no bullshit like wilt, Kareem, bird, magic cuz they cant

[@russell9411]

super gilly u got lebron #8 on ur list what the fuck? U crazy bro lls lebron way higher than 8

[@onepiece6529]

@@sophieenthusiast3161 Good List but Russell Or Wilt isn't even top 10 HONESTLY. Other players are more DESERVING IN TOP 10. Like Larry Bird. Duncan at #9 ? Duncan is better than Shaq & LeBron. I'm a big Kobe Fan but i RANK Duncan over Kobe. In my opinion Duncan SURPASSED Kobe when Duncan collected his 5th ring along with NEVER MISSING A PLAYOFF IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER. Prime Duncan can get 30+ POINTS 20+ REBOUNDS & 5+ BLOCKS. Duncan outplays Shaq from 1999-2003 PLAYOFFS in SIMILAR POSITIONS. Duncan in 1999 was his 2nd season SWEPT SHAQ IN THE PLAYOFFS & WON HIS FIRST RING & FMVP THAT SAME SEASON LeBron is also better than Shaq. Shaq never lead a team to 3 finals. So that would put Duncan at #4 & Kobe at #5 & LeBron at #6 in my opinion

[@onepiece6529]

@@sophieenthusiast3161 Shaq lead a team to 2 FINALS. 1995 & 2000. To get to the FINALS you have to go THROUGH the REGULAR SEASON & PLAYOFFS TO MAKE THE FINALS AM I CORRECT ? Well Shaq got swept in the FINALS IN 1995 with All Star Penny & Horace GRANT in the FINALS, Swept in EAST PLAYOFFS in 1996, swept in PLAYOFFS 1998, & 1999. Kobe was the better PLAYER in 2001, 2002, & 2003 REGULAR SEASON & PLAYOFFS. Shaq was better in the FINALS. Plus Kobe was the reason Shaq even made the finals, not the other way around. Shaq would have never MADE PAST THE PLAYOFFS WITHOHT KOBE GURANTEED. Wilt & Russ played in 1960's when NBA WAS STILL A DEVELOPING PRODUCT. 1960's had 8 teams, no 3 pointers, less penalties, less coaching, less rules, less strategies, goaltending wasn't called, offensive rebounds, defensive rebounds, STEALS, BLOCKS, & TURNOVERS WERE NOT EVEN A STAT YET. It was CLEARLY A GAME IN DEVLOPMENT.. There is a reason why no one averaged 50PPG since Wilt & 12 RINGS from Russ. NBA CHANGED RULES BECAUSE OF THOSE 2. Russ & Wilt retired BEFORE OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS, DEFENSIVE REBOUNDS, STEALS, BLOCKS , TURNOVERS, & 3 POINTERS BECAME A. STAT. Russ retired in 1969? Wilt retired 1973? Off reb, def reb, STLS, BLKS, & TURNOVERS BECAME a stat around 1975 (Kareems generation) 3 Pointers became official in 1980-1981 (Magic, Bird, & Jordan ERA) By 1975 NBA had more TEAMS, MORE COMPETITION, MORE PENALTIES, BETTER COACHING, ETC. Russ & Wilt are PIONEERS who REVOLUTIONIZED NBA. NOT TOP 10 RESPECTFULLY.

This was one of the best basketball games I've every watched
