The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!

Do you agree? Does Kobe have a legit case to be crowned the NBA's GOAT? Also check out the other videos (Bill and Wilt) in my GOAT series. More GOAT videos to come...

[@kylemessineo8542]

Jonny Arnett -NBA KZbinr bro I love Kobe but gimme a damn break how can he be the Goat when he has 1 league MVP? 5-2 in the finals w only 3 MVPs, never was the DPOY & copies most if not all his moves from MJ?? He’s the closest thing to MJ but he’s nowhere near MJ. I can go on & on & on but that’s all I need to say right there. They lost to the pistons w ShaQ!! That’s all that needs to be said. Also lost the Celtics in game 6 of the finals by 39!! Nice try tho

[@box1877]

Simple behind Jordan he is the GOAT

[@jonnyarnett]

kyle Messineo Keep in mind that this is a GOAT series. If you don’t like this GOAT video, there will be at least 5 other vids of mine, making other player’s GOAT cases. I’ve already done 2 others, and several more on their way. I’m sure you’ll agree with one of them, unless Brian Scalabrine is your GOAT.... lol

[@kylemessineo8542]

Jonny Arnett -NBA KZbinr So you decided to start w the best big man of all time & Kobe who’s not even in the Goat convo?

[@jonnyarnett]

kyle Messineo Being in the conversation and actually being the GOAT are two different things entirely. Many would disagree with the idea that’s he’s not in the conversation at all. Quite literally he’s in the conversation because many people believe he is and claim he is. It’s not like being the “GOAT” is something you can objectively win, so it’s up to peoples interpretation. Plus I did a poll, and over 50% wanted Kobe’s GOAT video next, so that explains the order.

Dude. How do you possibly leave out that Kobe is tied with Jordan & 2 other players for the NBA record for the most NBA all defensive first team selections with 9. Nine times. How do you possibly leave out that Kobe is 3rd on the all time scoring list. This video was wrong at 1:33 when it said Kobe was 4th on the all time scoring list. LeBron is 4th, Kobe Bryant ist actually 3rd. Every Kobe fan knows these things, Jesus Christ. C'mon man you're embarrassing us.

Look at Kobe man so inspirational

[@Gamingwithdes23]

It’s crazy how people think Kobe isn’t in the top 10. I grew up a Celtics fan. I remember yelling at my TV when the lakers met the Celtics in 2008. I was literally yelling that they should double team him. I hated Kobe for that. But I grew to love him as a player. People will say oh he’s not clutch cause he has missed a lot of shots in clutch moment. But it’s shown that in the 4th quarter he’s one of the players you want on the court because of his ability to bring his team back, whether scoring or setting up his teammates whether through assists or just setting up a team mate without getting an assist for it

[@deancamba2820]

Another important thing to note is that Kobe missed the chance to compete for the championship in many years of his career when he should have: a. When Chris Paul was not allowed by the NBA to go to the Lakers b. When Steve nash and Dwight Howard got injured c. The times when Andrew Bynum got injured I know great players always have their down years waiting for good teammates to be drafted or traded before being able to compete for a championship even MJ and LBJ had those years, for Kobe it was after Shaq left. but Kobe's was in a different level, it was almost as if whenever he gets a chance to compete, bad things happen to the team and he would have to wait again.

The thing with Kobe Bryant is that the kids that are watching the NBA right now, don't remember him playing. They didn't get to watch him play how they did LeBron, and those others that make the MJ argument are old farts that most likely stopped watching the NBA once MJ stopped playing. I know I stopped watching when Kobe retired. Tried and watched a few games when LeBron was there, but he just didn't bring the same type of energy as Kobe did.

My favorite Kobe Bryant story is that he was practicing shooting hoops and was consistently missing, he talked with an official, they took their measurements and he was right, the hoop was wrong at the wrong measurement by a slight amount, that’s why he was missing, and he was so hardworking that he even got the measurement that it was off right solely by trying to make some hoops.

[@CxsualtyGaming]

​@@WalkingthroughNYC I love how you bring up one series, yet fail to bring up Effective Shooting Percentage in your argument whatsoever. Because you know a guy like Shaq is bound to have a higher percentage since hes only shooting 2s from 3ft man. You dont know basketball. Why do you think Wilt had 60% shooting a lot, because hes a better shooter than Curry? Hell no. Thats why % in shooting is skewed and favors slashers and big men, rather than guards. Hell, people say Kobe is inefficient when averaging 4% less than Lebron for his career even though if you compare Kobe to other guards in his era and conference shooting more than 10 shots a game (aka volume shooters, in the same ISO heavy offense which itself was inefficient and the game was dominated by defensive teams w/ 80-90 pts being the norm) his percentage was above average by 2-3% every year. Not to mention, 30 pts is more impressive in a 90 pt game than a 120 pt game. More possessions, a worse defensive era, and rules designed to help the offense are bound to boost modern players' stats overall by default. This is the issue when comparing greats. You have to look at everything in context, otherwise you're comparing apples and oranges. Im going to ignore the fact you mentioned a series where Kobe was injured throughout, yet failed to mention the playoffs of those 3 years where a majority of the time Kobe's output was better than Shaq's and his effective shooting percentage was higher :).

You are right in that Kobe was saddled with a bad roster in his prime. I'm a Philadelphia fan and I hated the fact Barkley was was saddled with bad rosters during his prime, but at least Kobe got those titles.

I wish I did, I was lucky to see lebron from 2012 onward, but the former 2 are in the goat convo as well

[@razza1580]

Kobe ain’t necessarily the greatest, but he damn well is the most skilled and hardest working of all time. Kobe is top 5 imo. I’d put him at 4 or 3 behind Jordan and LeBron and right in front of Magic and Bird

[@michaelprada8123]

Kobe Bryant overall was a 99 followed by Lamar Odom who was 82 overall and the rest of the team was a 60 overall. Please understand How RAW! Kobe was... Especially being in the West..

[@michaelcovington4693]

I BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS!!

[@jerrygranvillejr.5137]

He's embarrassing us. Kobe is 3rd on all time scoring. Not 4th, LeBron is 4th.

[@jonnyarnett]

@@jerrygranvillejr.5137 Just simply misspoke. Its actually quite easy to make that mistake when you're recording yourself speak for 11 minutes straight. lol. Also Kobe should enjoy 3rd while he's got it, because LeBron's gonna take it pretty soon.

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

I don’t think he’s even better than LeBron LeBron has a better all around basketball game (30,000 career points 8,000 rebounds and 9,000 assists in a 17 year career; most triple doubles in nba postseason history) He carried his playoff teams to the championship round for eight straight seasons LBJ>KB Larry was the first player in NBA history to record a 50/40/90 shooting season Michael was and is the first and only player in NBA history with back to back seasons with 200 steals and 100 blocks in an NBA season Mike and Larry Were all better than Kobe

[@skidroski228]

Love the video and completely agree. And LBJ ain't the greatest guys. GOATS don't lose 6 championships.

[@marcuscarpenter7230]

I dislike lebron but this comment is dumb. Lebron never played with a player like prime shaq and Kobe never ever has played any team close to the 17 warriors. Goats don’t shoot 44 percent from the field and 32 percent from three. Btw I think mj goat lebron and Kareem have a debate but no one else does rn

Thanks for the vid, Jonny. As a die hard Lakers fan, I can't say Kobe is the GOAT (for real, that belongs to Kareem), but that dude had a lion's heart. He gave everything he had for the purple and gold and you gotta respect that whether you like the Lakers or not. Still hard to believe he's gone. RIP Vino and Mambacita.

[@powerman1993tk]

Kobe Bryant is amazing definitely closest to ever be like Jordan but he was not better then MJ. I will only put like 11 things that will seperate both MJ and Kobe: Kobe- 25.0 ppg. Jordan- 30.12 ppg Kobe- 5.2 reb. Jordan- 6.2 reb. Kobe- 4.7 ast. Jordan- 5.3 ast Kobe- 1 mvp Jordan- 5 mvps Kobe- 2 finals mvps Jordan- 6 finals mvps Kobe- Finals 5-2. Jordan- Finals 6-0 Kobe-2 Scoring titles Jordan-10 Scoring titles Kobe-25.6 ppg playoffs. Jordan-33.4 ppg Kobe-0 dpoy award Jordan-1 dpoy award Kobe-0 steals leader Jordan-3 times steals leader Kobe- 44% fgp. Jordan- 49% fgp Kobe and Jordan shot almost identical field goal percentage from 3 point line both at 33%. Freethrow line they both shot 83%. Michael Jordan has more 30/40/50 point games in the regular season then Kobe. Kobe had five 60 point games Jordan had 4. Playoffs Jordan had more 30/40/50/60 point games over Kobe. Was Kobe Bryant amazing and the closest to Michael Jordan? Of course he was, but you have to give Jordan the edge over Kobe. As a fan of Michael Jordan since he was drafted till he retired in 2003 Kobe Bryant kept me watching the NBA. I was able to watch Kobe Bryant play and was like watching Michael Jordan in so many ways! The current NBA player recently voted who was the all time goat and Michael Jordan won by a landslide with 73% of the vote. Lebron got 11% and Kobe got 10%. Personally i feel Kobe Bryant was better then Lebron James.

[@dontrellmayfieldjr2868]

Of course Kobe is closer to MJ.. as the two greatest shooting guards of all time. But let's not forget about Kobe Bryant through his 20-year career he became the first SG EVER with 30000 points and 6000 assists..

[@toddsands6000]

I totally agree with @Troy Knows Paranormal. I will always miss Kobe. And I'm saddened that he's gone. Overall, he's definitely the closest in comparison to Michael Jordan. MJ's career scoring average makes the whole difference. And Kobe has often stated that he meticulously studied MJ. I will say that Jordan is a better defensive player, better mid range scorer and slasher towards the basket. Kobe in my opinion was a slightly better and stronger perimeter shooter than MJ. Michael still holds the record for scoring the most points in a playoff game. And respectfully Kobe has done a few things that MJ has not accomplished such as Kobe scoring 81 points in a game. The variance between MJ and Kobe is extremely small. But overall, I must give MJ the overall nod on who is the GOAT between the two of them.

[@anthonyrufus1793]
