2003 Kobe was at his peak physically (footwork was the best I've ever seen, and his best season from long range). 2006 was individually the greatest offensive juggernaut the NBA has seen since (possibly) 80's MJ. 2007 was like a hybrid of 2006 and 2008 (still a scoring beast, but defense and decision-making was up). 2009 was his best all-around season, including defense, maturity, clutch, etc. 2013 was the most impressive given his age and how he just willed them to the playoffs, despite the injuries. When he walked to the FT line on that torn Achilles to tie the game against Golden State.... I wanted to cry at how much heart he had. Miss Kobe like crazy.

[@evobrothaali2929]

2003-4 and 2007-8 are my fav personally. Just his dominance and athletic capabilities in 2003-4 were amazing and 2007-8 were his best shooting years

[@oscarjarda5724]

Spot on! agree with you!

[@DrSJH159]

Good summary.

[@comba5858]

Couldn't agree morw

[@mynameis4934]

2010 is so underrated...

[@luissan5366]

2009 Kobe. He was clutch, still athletic , POST MOVES AT HIS PEAK, healthy, and he was a MAN ON A MISSION. No one was guna STOP HIM from getting that ring.

[@russell9411]

Luis San that season and 02-03

[@dustycc4695]

I agree

[@wallstreetzoomer]

Kobe post move was at his peak after 2009, he worked with hakeem after that

[@dpistons149]

Luis San Celtics would have bear them again

[@murilodesouza100]

kobe was so angry ,for 2008 Boston ring. That he came with full power everygame. Was his revenge. No one could stops Kobe.

[@nickolasarndt]

Kobe’s most unstoppable era was when the Lakers unfortunately weren’t that good, w kwame and smush etc. like 2005-2007 kobe was literally the best player I’ve ever seen. Like 9 straight 40 pt games??? 4 games in a row of 50+ (2 of them were 60). His jumper was straight money.

[@AD-fi6em]

devaughn850 the 07 season too

[@brandonrael7891]

That was also a year with Shaq as a still formidable force

[@MrMoose365]

devaughn850 bro I had to look it up! The brain is a funny thing

[@eskimo289]

But Shaq had injuries all season. He wasn't in his best shape.

[@Theterminato2013]

2002-2003: Kobe’s athletic peak. 2005-2006: Best season for Kobe scoring wise. 2008-2009: Best season for Kobe showcasing his leadership.

[@legume_duprix]

The 12-13 year is so under the radar

Ezechiel Auleus HsjhshlyX

[@N8veJay]

When Kobe said Peak. I think he meant it from his craft, skill, focus and mentality as he knew his body wasn’t the same as his youth, so his mamba mentality was at its peak in that season 💯🏀

[@sanjayjoseph6556]

Fr mvp type year. imagine if he never got hurt that year he still would have been dropping 27 for another couple of years

[@bryank8043]

Imma go with 2010. Won a ring with a BROKEN FINGER on his shooting hand sheeeeeeeeesh

[@murilodesouza100]

Without words to comment that , man . Kobe was a monster.

[@newbreed1199]

Bryan K And he played with a messed up knee.

[@AD-fi6em]

Most players would sit out for the season. 🐐

[@edmichaelalobog8886]

That’s why people get mad when he said Lebron must not settle for narratives. Because Kobe didn’t settle for it himself, he made things happen.

[@GisherJohn24]

Bryan K his 99 year was amazing considering his youth!

[@BeefPapa]

The top of his peak was 06-08. 07 was the perfect balance between athleticism and skill. More efficient than his 06 season. I'd take 07.

[@kennydoessfitness]

Finally a comment that shares my thoughts

[@benjayflorencio7240]

Yes. But teammate was bad😢

[@4wayy_x363]

And this is why I hate when people say Kobe was carried 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@dmv_shoes7058]

[@4wayy_x363]

DMV Clutch okay obviously you can’t read ✌🏽

[@bane6837]

ClutchNB EVERYBODY says that

[@oneman9121]

2002-2003 Kobe was the best. He was at his physical peak that season. That was also before his knee surgery that started to slow him down. 2003 was the only year we really got to see the combination that was the athleticism of young Kobe, and the jump shot/craftiness of the older Kobe. In my opinion, that Kobe was the closest thing we every got to a prime '93 Michael Jordan. 2006 Kobe was more methodical despite scoring more points. Even in his 81 point game, he didn't have a lot of exciting plays. He took A LOT of jumpers that season. You can tell he wanted to conserve energy. 2003 Kobe had an endless supply of energy. 2009-13 Kobe can't compare. It's like comparing 97-98 Jordan with 91-93 Jordan. The first three peat Jordan was unstoppable. I just wished his 2003 body lasted longer.

[@russell9411]

IbTusPeter see man real Kobe fans know injuries really slowed him down but his competitive edge made it seem like he didn't. When reality he lost athleticism every year

[@russell9411]

IbTusPeter i disagree tho 05-06 Kobe was fun to watch..if u telling me long ass 3s facials not fun and crossover than u missing it lls

[@pedroroque829]

IbTusPeter Jordan 95-98 was the best version and kobe 10-13 also the best

[@danielllll521]

pedro roque L times 2

[@NewEraaG]

IbTusPeter great analysis! I would still take 06 tbh, those scoring outbursts and the dominance when he was on fire were like never seen before, he did it every game for at least 2 months straight. Crazy

[@sergiogarcia5593]

[@sotoskount]

I think the lockout season (2011-2012) makes a case for your No10 at least.

[@murilodesouza100]

Wow. Now imagine if Kobe had all stars help while your all career.

[@sergiogarcia5593]

Sotos Kount It does have a case. He got 4 consecutive 40-point games (a record for his age). However, Kobe fell short in the OKC series and shot 43% in the season (which isn’t bad, but one of his worst).

Imo Kobe should have won 3 in a row. Kobe has something a little more rarer. Kobe has 4 40ppg month avgs . Only 4 players have done that. Wilt Chamberlain 11 times, Kobe Bryant 4 times, Elgin Baylor 1 time, & James Harden 1 time. Only 2 players done it multiple times. It's a *rare achievement & Kobe did it 4 times in a span of a decade . Each time he did Lakers made the playoffs* unreal .

[@sergiogarcia5593]

Henry Tran Good list, but I would take Kobe in 2013 over 2012. He went to Germany for the knee procedure after the 2011-12 season and was much better in 2012-13. He had more hop in his step and was more efficient.

[@thebiggunt2387]

09-10 kobe was when I fell in love with basketball

[@robsmith6650]

2006 Kobe was extremely skilled but crazy athletic too!

[@moffo2626]

2012-13 is one of his best too. Solo carried the Lakers. Age 34 shooting 47% from the field.

[@bryank8043]

InGOAT x Lonzo most underrated kobe season forsure

[@bryank8043]

People forget he was playing like 35+ min and dunking on people like he was in his 20's

[@moffo2626]

chubby chaser 39+ mins homie

[@danielllll521]

For real he willed that team into the playoffs and pretty much sacrificed his body to do so. Not to mention he was doing some crazy play making

[@beachlife4235]

Yea but it wasn't his championship year i say 09-10 was at his best

[@robertvelazquez1921]

2008-2009 kobe was the best! He was on a mission that year to win a title because he lost badly last year. And he won a finals MVP and put up great numbers and completely destroyed the magic

[@AR-vz3pf]

Robert Velazquez Yeah and it was at that time when he became more outgoing because he knew it was a realistic chance to get that 4th ring

[@Heie_]

Robert Velazquez should have won mvp back to back to back to back

[@russell9411]

Robert Velazquez nah 02-03 05-06, 06-07

[@rudy1999]

That's why he better than leBron who couldn't beat Magic

[@mimeblood4]

Kobe's team was so much better than Bron's that year it wouldn't even be fair if the cavs beat the magic since the lakers would have probably swept them or beat them in 5 anyways.^

[@masonwong2418]

08-09 was the perfect blend of athleticism and skill for Kobe. He made the game look soooo easy that year

[@kurtisanglez1059]

2006 was the beginning of the Dark Mamba cause years of that he was more fierce, more emotional, and more relentless the man lost in 08 by the celtics he went on to Beijing to redeem himself with a gold medal until 09 I never seen a man who was just tryna dig every heart out the celtics fans the starting 5 and the bench😢 and beyond that we started to see him smile more and just become sensational and this coming from a Lebron...

[@whoknow2228]

[@pedroroque829]

Who Know222 Exactly, that was his beast year

[@brad7566]

During that season, he led the league in scoring until the end when he let Durant have it.

[@jameeljames2338]

Brad Lamb I think that was the year before. 12-13 he got injured so he couldn’t play if he wanted to

[@spongetheking7102]

Didn’t kobe do that in 2006 but better

[@MrEliasdl]

Imagine that Kobe with Prime CP3

[@ryanandrue792]

2012-13 Kobe is so underrated and people forget he went toe to toe with Damian lillard at Portland then Anthony Davis they came back and won at new Orleans down 25 plus in 4th so many clutch games he won people forget after the slow start they went 28-12 to close the season before Kobe blew out his Achilles he literally did too much that season in his 17th year

[@rchamp247]

Kobe from 05-07 was from another planet. I liked him in 02-03 & 12-13 as well though. I really enjoyed his performance in the 2009 playoffs. That man was on a mission that year

[@Heie_]

05-10 Kobe should have won at least 4 mvps but (Espn and the nba love their father to much) Kobe should have broken Larry’s record of 3 in a row Kobe was gonna win 06 07 08 09 4mvps in a row they stole that from Kobe and us the fans because I️ see ppl under the comments saying kobrick and Kobe not top 10 or 5 the nba also stopped Kobe’s last stand stopping the cp3 trade I️ can’t believe ppl don’t see how they did everything in their power to keep Kobe from being the goat not to mention the injuries he was playing through Kobe is the goat in my eyes sorry if that offends you.

[@Heie_]

Lebron James of course a lebron fan why are you here again???

[@drewbeez6353]

Him averaging 35 5 & 5 didn't deserve MVP over a guy averaging 17 & 11? Ok,,, when Dirk won it Kobe averaged 30 that season and we did make the playoffs kid, the year Kobe won MVP was his worst season stats wise from 06-08 but they gave it to him cause of team success,,, MVP is a team award Kobe was Clearly the best player in the NBA from 03-10

[@trentonpearson7353]

Kobe should have won 3 MVPS total. 2003, 2006 and 2008 (where he won). LeBron was crazy efficient in 2009 having posted one of highest PERs of all time.

[@bane6837]

Before I watch I'm going to go with 08-09 Kobe. Also there are 81 comments here haha

[@ViennaSausageGod]

Ok so finished the vid and I thought about 05-06 kobe but I don't think he was the best because his team was so ass that he could do whatever he wanted to whenever without any backlash. Any superstar will put those types of numbers up if given that type of green light imo. I think 08 09 kobe was still young enough to still be athletic but like you said, the maturity in his game really showed. He was a general out there! I was a Denver Nuggets fan and I thought we could beat them. That Denver team was really good 😭😭😭 they were outclassed something crazy! Just my 0.02 . Great video once again Caine!

I don't care about the stats! As long as I love watching KOBE BRYANT! He's always on focus and dead serious! He's not a quitter! Media just made Kobe hated by the fans and making him very much an underrated player. He's arguably the "MOST SKILLED PLAYER" in the history of the game! He's my GOAT!

[@elkbath]

this video is the reason why Caine is the GOAT. nothing but respect for the work you put into making this. Kobe was a beast throughout his career and it was a real joy to be able to watch all of it. I have to go with number 8 but man it's close

thanks man!

[@MTcell08]

[@lemancemossjr3935]

I like this series a lot. It also sheds light on the true essence of dominance each of these greats had. Not just a single season, but multiple seasons so great that they literally could've earned MVP in each of those seasons. It's amazing. I would like to see a lesser talked about guy. Maybe some Isaiah Thomas (DET) type shit. Of course, it would actually be great to see one of these on Jordan. Microscopic depictions of his reign would be cool to see since I didn't get to experience it firsthand.

Kobe did the same thing in 2010 that LeBron did this year carry a team with only 1 all star other than themselves to the Championship, play against a team with 4 all stars (Kobe played the Celtics with Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen) but the thing was... Kobe actually won(.) KOBE IS THE GOAT!

[@JTrel]

YOU think that Celtic team was really on Golden State LEvEL HHAAAHAAHAHA Kd is better than Paul Steph & possibly Klay shoots better than Ray Draymond is better than Mad Perkins who actually got injured that series GSW bench was better. STOP IT bruh

Don't compare the two. LeBron had a Superteam and was coming out of the East with no competition vs GSW coming out of the West with teams like Thunder Rockets & Spurs. GSW was tired and still swept him.

Good video on my fav athlete of all time. RIP Kobe 🙏🏽

[@jaimejordan2013]

I think Kobe's best seasons were 1. 2008/09 2. 2005/06 and 3. 2012/13 and then the 2002/03

[@ORRante-qe8ue]

I agree. The 08-09 Kobe was a beast.

[@zaheerk5233]

Great vid (cane =GOAT)

[@anekilaworld7483]

The best time for me? was his whole career. 💐love you for ever mio bambino 💗

[@AJS2095]

This reminded me why he was my favorite playing growing. I remember each season, crazy how long ago it's been.

[@mosfillers]

Kobe himself said the 2002-2003 season was when he was at his best.

[@youtubedoctor6223]

2002-2003 because Frobe is the most althetic version of Kobe and honestly in my opinion the most clutch Kobe.

[@dunkleybwoy1]

2007-2008 Kobe was close

[@ilijeganu273]

KZbin Doctor he was if only horry made that open 3 vs the Spurs we might have seen the lakers 4peat

Thanks man 👍

[@jtube12100]

Honestly i think 2002-2003 was his best year, if not that then probably 2005-2006

[@gloedup150]

2006 was Kobe's best season

[@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t]

Glo'ed Up nah 2002-2003 was better. Imagine what Kobe from that year would've did without Shaq? I think he would've averaged 40

[@russell9411]

Steph Curry The G.O.A.T he had a streak of 9 straight 40 lol got damn

[@russell9411]

Steph Curry The G.O.A.T 9 straight 40 lmao kobe buckets was unreal back in the day lls

Top 5 Kobe Bryant seasons in order 5. 09-10 4. 07-08 3. 02-03 2. 05-06 1. 08-09

[@ps2gamer350]

I have always wonder this why didn't kobe win the mvp in 2006 when he averaged 35 points🤔🤔

[@Jboooog18]

Sports Talk he was 7th seed. You look at the influence Nash had on Phoenix he was hands down mvp. The very same team lost the year prior and you had Steve that win 60 games

[@murilodesouza100]

Kobe was robbed so many times .

This is a great series. It's cool to see an NBA youtuber actually be original for once.

[@sushmoyislam2858]

Personally for me 03 was the best. 06 and 07 is my favorite to watch. 12-13 was the most inspirational moment. 07-10 was the best legacy seasons cementing him all time .

[@ConnOr-mu3di]

2008 - 2009 cause he had that mentality to win without SHAQ

[@russell9411]

Conn Or nah not the best

[@DeadxThrone1]

He already did have that mentality. He just didn't have enough help to win until 2008 and then they just went up against a better team in the finals.

[@kingdream6608]

[@officialmightynotoriousaka3897]

Rest in paradise Kobe Bryant black mamba?😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jernigensfitch8090]

His best years I think were 2006 and 2003. He should have definitely won MVP those years. You have to think what he did as the number 2 guy to Shaq in 2003. His numbers were not #2 type production.

[@dfunklegendfontdawg5023]

Really well done. Enjoyed the stats with opinion. What’s your top 10 all time?

[@AshED65]

From 2006 to 2010 Kobe Bryant was the best player in the NBA.

[@ianpaulino8175]

CALI CREWW

[@bryanvelazquez482]

I agree 05-06 was Kobe’s best year as an individual player But as a whole would be 09-10 Kobe Pau Lamar Derek F Awesome times with the family watching the Lakers!

[@ZambluBalls]

Rest in peace to the GOAT. Gone way too soon

[@makis7383]

Of course the 2005-06 season. He carried the poor talented Lakers to the playoffs averaging in the season 35.4 ptg on 45% FG. This was his best statistical season. When you take into consideration winning then it's 2008 and 2009

[@christopherralphherrera5171]

my favorite Kobe Bryant was 2005-06!!! averaging about 35ppg and just totally unstoppable!!!! wish he never got injured

[@christopherralphherrera5171]

oh yeah almost forgot the 81 point game vs raptor *cough* sorry Jalen *cough*

[@departition1169]

2009 was my favorite season, it was very fun to watch him that season

[@BEATmyguest31]

Unrivaled footwork & a fadeaway that would make MJ blush. Kob is on any true NBA fans Mt Rushmore

[@ilijeganu273]

I think 05-06 Kobe was the best kobe but 08-09 kobe is a runner up because kobe was on a mission for vengeance. If only 06 kobe had pau gasol...or if tim thomas bricked that 3 in game 6 Lakers-Suns series....oh well coulda shoulda woulda

[@damonroger3184]

Tim Thomas is lowkey my boy.

[@coolstory6193]

Young Forever 07-08

[@zerocontrol8735]

rip kobe

[@Maximuz2312]

08-09. After he perfected his post up game under tutelage of Akeem The Dream, he was unstoppable that year.

[@lo2smooth647]

Great Vid! Being that Mamba is my 3rd favorite player of all time seeing these clips really brought back alot of incredible memories. For me I think the 09 KB24 was the beat! He played with such a maturity and tenacity! He reminded me of number 23 in the 90's loll that was the year he dropped 61 at the garden. I only wish LeBron was good enough to beat Orlando that year so we could end all this "who's better" foolishness 🏀#ILoveThisGame 💯

[@wavydoug]

2006 hands down he averaged 35 ppg

[@bidenhatesblacksandmexican3362]

And choked a 3-1 lead in the 1st round hahaha

Kobe didnt get decent teamate during 2004-2007 season.. Unlike Lebron..

[@trentonpearson7353]

LeBron's teammates during the first Cleveland were absolutely terrible. I am die hard Kobe fan but you can't deny what LeBron had to play with.

[@fidyaregitar]

@@trentonpearson7353 man bron's teamate were good that time..just underated..

[@quaddz5280]

Better number kobe Well #24 is more of a shooter and clutch player while #8 kobe was more athletic and hit more "insane" shots. I'm gonna let you guys choose witch one was better.

[@matthiasmccormack3213]

Haven't watched video yet, but for me the top 5 are 06, 07, 03, 08, and 13

[@manboys6172]

You shoulda mentioned that Kobe's 2013 season was the greatest old man season of all time. Those stats for a player in his 17th season is completely unprecedented.

[@Z0mbify]

The BEST YEAR of Kobe Bryant’s career is 2005-2006 because he had 3 straight 50+ Points and he scored 81 POINTS And I wanted him to become MVP but why Steve Nash?

[@sonofaballer96]

MasterGaming // MG Nash was seen as a more valued player which makes sense because the Suns were wrecking the league. Don't hate on the 2 time MVP

[@maddmoney9342]

[@quanda_icon5903]

Do a tim duncan or spurs best year

[@MrC77]

2008- 2010 was the best. He still had most of his athleticism and he had his improved post moves, better leadership, and higher basketball iq.
