Moving Pictures: Kobe Bryant's Shooting Performance in Game 4 of the 2010 NBA Finals

[larvenNIGGA]

Kobe the best

[Lucarinho]

MJ might be the best. But me at age 21, i gotta say, kobe is the best player I have ever seen playing....

[1234MasterNinja]

no offense but its.........

[xXProSportsxX]

O. M . G ! ! ! Why u people dare to compare Kobe to MJ, when Kobe get's 1 more ring we talk

[Jsteingaia]

Man, there is no way to discribe or qualify Kobe Bryant. Kobe is not the best player countting out MJ. Kobe is neither the best player ever. Kobe is just Kobe. That's more than a simple qualification or title. It's a supermacy of reality, it's a truth without an exception. You can be better or worse than him.

He is a unic player, not a level you can ever reach.

[TheKobe24greatest]

ok if u say so camberlongboards you deserve to tell me wat to put all right

[xbringyourboardx]

im from new hamsphire so im expected to like the celtics and hate the lakers, but i started the lakers when i was 10, when they were in the playoffs some year and i've just liiked them ever since. I also like the celtics though, as well as many individual players and other teams. Someone who really has love for the game itself likes good basketball no matter the individual/team

[23javern]

I dont understand why ray allen is considered as the best shooter? T.T did he hit 9 consecutive 3s and 12 in one game ? nope ryt . and the fact that kobe hits all kinds of shot and ray only hits off the passes and sometimes a simple pull up j . T.T i think kobe and jordan are the best shooters of all time .

[TheNegrodamus89]

@23javern ray allen passed reggie miller in all time 3's and hit 8 straight 3's game 2 in this series. im a laker fan but give the man his due. i mean, you try running from one side of the court to the other, thru multiple screens set, just to get open to take AND MAKE a 3, nite in and nite out. most players don't even like guarding someone like that, let alone playing that way. do u realize how well conditioned you gotta be to continue playing at that level at his age? def the best shooter ever

[23javern]

@TheNegrodamus89 he passed ray allen statistically and it doesnt mean your the greatest shooter of all time . youve already said it . ray allen always try to run from one side of the court to other,and then the screener frees him up for the wide open uncontested three . while the black mamba,shoots threes with ease,without anyone screening him and hitting an enormous percentage . kobe hit 9 threes straight while he was contested,ray hit it uncontestedly because of multiple screens. nuff said.

[TheNegrodamus89]

@23javern then why is ray allen a career .399 shooter from 3 and kobe shoots .339. kobe's great but get off his dick damn! leave some room for vanessa... everybody uses screens dumb ass, even kobe, its apart of basketball. and ray allen hits contested 3's too. search "Ray Allen 8 threes in the 4th Q and 2 OTs vs. Suns" fuckin idiots these days...

[23javern]

@TheNegrodamus89 yes .im not saying that screens isnt part of the game u idiot . were talking abt the greatest shooter . and by that,were also talking abt who takes it more the easier way and who shoots the ball with ease . and yea kobe takes screens but if youre watching his games he creates his own shot for himself without any screens dumbass . you keep on talking abt THREES . are you blind or you just cant read . i said SHOOTER . you keep on tryin to be a genius . shooter means 2pt and 3pts .

[23javern]

@TheNegrodamus89 and one more thing . do u also realize how hard it is for a player who has been playing since he was 17 yrs old to take care of his body,plus kobe bryant appeared in more palyoff games,which means he received more punishment than ray . your opinion is bullshit . tryna be a genius . T.T

[TheNegrodamus89]

@23javern i dont think you understand the difference between 'greatest shooter' and 'greatest player'. don't take your frustration out on me b/c your brain can't comprehend the difference between these two different subjects.

[23javern]

@TheNegrodamus89 its because kobe is the both the greatest player and shooter of all time . and your the best dumbass of all time .

[TheNegrodamus89]

@23javern 1st of all, there is no greatest player in a team sport imo, but most ppl would agree its mj. 2nd, you're a fuckin idiot if you think kobe is a better 3 point shooter than ray allen. im done. you're obviously a 12 yr old nut hugger thats never seen either in there prime. go to sleep kid its way past your bed time.

[23javern]

@TheNegrodamus89 its all abt opinion you fuckin idiot . and thats my opinion . if you think ray is better . then okay . your done ?thats because you cant rebutt my answers because its fuckin ryt . you said ur a laker fan . ur just sayin it to protect urself from being criticize . i think ur celtic fan . paranoid the same as their players . btw im 15 yrs old . and ive watched both of them since their prime. and another thing . its 4 pm here in the philippines. u should go to sleep dumbass.

[TheNegrodamus89]

@23javern 1st of all, dont ever disrespect me by callin me a celdick fan. im actually from LA born and raised not like half of u bandwagon fucks. 2nd, lets do some math. kobes been in the league 15 yrs and you'e 15 yrs old. HOW THE FUCK HAVE YOU SEEN HIM IN HIS PRIME!! u were still swimmin in ya dads nutsack when kobe was a rookie lol im 22 and i was only 6 his 1st season. 3rd, im not just a laker fan, im an NBA FAN. i watched kobe, ai, tmac, vince, ray, and kg ALL IN THEIR PRIMES.

[TheNegrodamus89]

@23javern im talkin ray in his supersonic, bucks days, kg in minnesota, and ai in philly. I WAS AT THE STAPLES CENTER IN '01 WHEN THEY BEAT THE SIXERS. kobe is the greatest out of all of them but ray allen is the purest shooter the game has ever seen. PERIOD!

[23javern]

@TheNegrodamus89 one more thing . ur the fuckin idiot because you keep on insisting i said kobe is a better 3pt shooter . I SAID SHOOTER . shooter shooter shooter . ur the most idiotic person ive met .

[MJerrek]

OMG stop the comparisons! MJ is The Greatest Basketball player ever! Even Kobe said it and Lebron said it! All the players now love MJ and say he chanegd the game which helped their game!

[Kevinsuperior13]

to be honest, it must've been hard for kobe when he came into the league to try and live up to michael jordan's "standards" who the honestly wants to be constantly living under someone's shadow as great as michael jordan at such a young age. Kobe doesn't have the consistent efficiency as mj, but he's up there with him.

[shanekobe24]

Amazing

[187187p1]

1st Karee Adul-Jabbar 38,387 6 Rings Gone

2nd Karl Malone 36,928 Rings None Gone

3rd Michael Jordan 32,292 6 Rings and more Gone

4th Wilt Chamberlain 31,419 2 Rings and more Gone

5th Shaquille O'Neil 28,590 4 Rings Gone

6th Kobe Bryant 27,410 5 Rings and still playing at 32 and more to come

[dingdongbeanbryant24]

a simple proof..how great kobe bryant is...he creates his own shot..kobe is a legend...greater than michael jordan in terms of skills and talent...i respect m.j a lot..bt this generation and in this era of basketball...kobe bryant rules and he dominate the game of basketball.

[bestdak]

what is the name of the song in the video?

[rufder1]

lebrons just a kobe wannabe

[BoltBoi5]

@rufder1 for now and lebron is still a young guy and still learning and gusse what? Kobe's teamis out and lebrons team is still in.

[jacknicklaus99]

I am a 22 year old die hard celtics fan, I've watched Michael play in his prime when I was younger, and I think Kobe is the best player I have ever seen

[shevah2]

@jacknicklaus99 yes exactly. i remember back in 86 when larry bird and the celtics always knocked the bulls out of the playoffs.

[BoltBoi5]

@shevah2 dude kobe has the team around him and michael didnt that time

[BoltBoi5]

@jacknicklaus99 yo dude you dont know what your talkin about

[jacknicklaus99]

@BoltBoi5 hahahaha i know WAY more then you, your 14 years old you were at most 2 years old when MJ won his last ring, and you aren't even old enough to fully analyze nba players and definitely not old enough to compare anyone of today's era to MJ's era, and you shouldn't be telling people they don't know what they are talking about, I have 9 years of watching the nba on you little boy

[TBickleX3]

@jacknicklaus99 I am a die hard Laker fan born and raised in LA.. and 1. want to thank u.. as im sure that was hard for u to say.. and 2. See u next year in finals.. only two teams in nba..

[KobeBryantROXz]

@jacknicklaus99 really? why are people saying otherwise?

[Jumpman1989]

@jacknicklaus99 you were born in 1989 (22 years old) so how the heck could you watch MJ in his prime? you were just a baby when MJ won his first three peat and then during the second three peat you were too young to realize about greatness of MJ.

Stop saying bullshit dude, you didnt watch MJ in his prime, what you can well remember is his Wizards years thats all. And since you're saying that Kobe is the best you've seen then it means that you didnt see MJ play period

[jacknicklaus99]

@Jumpman1989 lol i was born in 88, and i remember the 96, 97, 98 finals like they were yesterday and have tape of all the jordan finals, I was 10 years old seeing him play in his last finals and old enough to realize his greatness, your just a pathetic 30 year old loser going on kobe bryant youtube videos looking for arguments with people who think kobe is the best

[Jumpman1989]

@jacknicklaus99 you said you were 22 that means you were born in 89 thats one thing. Secondly dont tell me that 8 or 9 or 10 years old boys can say something about Jordan greatness, you were just a kid and probably you didnt even know who MJ was at that time besides that he was a good player.

Besides how stupid this is to base you knowledge on your childhood memories ?? I would understand it if you were like 13 or 15 watching MJ but you were kid during second three peat and a baby during first

[jacknicklaus99]

@Jumpman1989 my only motivation is to point out to you that anyone born in 1988 before today's date is 23, after todays date they are still 22 , hence me you moron haha. thats one thing haha, secondly I dont know what you were doing at 10 years old but I was a huge basketball fan and watched the games religiously yes i was young but i had been playing ball since i was 4 and knew the game, you still did not address the face that you are a pathetic 30 year old picking fights on kobe youtube videos

[koalalauncher]

@jacknicklaus99 u weren't old enough to truly process the game. it shows cause if u think that kobe is better than michael, than ur really not that knowledgeable about the game. why do kobe fans have to overrate him so badly. kobe is an amazing player, arguably the second best shooting guard after mike. but what makes kobe better than mike? his numbers don't compare, they're not even close

[jacknicklaus99]

@koalalauncher according to your page you are 23, you may have not processed the game at that age, but i did...and to use your argument against you what evidence do you have other then statistics to say mj was better then kobe? the league is much more competitive with much better athletes then when mj was playing...your still not old enough to process the game, you base your arguments on statistics, at this point i could care less about comparing the two i just like to make you idiots seem dumb

[koalalauncher]

@jacknicklaus99 should we throw stats out the window? athletes are not better now than when mj was playing, that's horse shit. it's not like athletes have somehow evolved dramatically in the last 20 years. the game is different. u can't handcheck anymore, and centres can no longer wait in the lane because of the 3 second violation. insult me all u want, clearly u care or u wouldn't have said u think kobe's better than mike. i just wanna have an honest debate but i guess u cant do that

[TheKobe24mamba]

@koalalauncher open your eyes man!! mj is not gonna be the GOAT forever some day someone is gonna pass him i grew up watching kobe! But athletes today are more athletic, defense is better more complex, yeah handcheck was allowed but mj played 1 on 1 overall early in his career. And to be honest nba back then seemed sloppy just sying what i have seen on games on NBA greatest games. And we do have better athletes today and i cant say better defenders since there different eras of defensive calls

[koalalauncher]

@TheKobe24mamba someday, maybe. but it's not kobe or lebron, there is simply no way. athletes are NOT that much better than they were in the late 80's and early 90's, that's a false monicor. Defenses are not more complex, why, because teams can play zone? Zones are not used very often, and if u have an outside shooter on the floor they are easy to break. Cmon man, no defensive 3 seconds. Centres like robinson, mutumbo, mourning, kareem etc. could wait under the basket.

[koalalauncher]

@TheKobe24mamba a problem i have is that kobe fans overrate him too much. he's great, but kobe fans think that because i don't think he's the greatest that it's in insult on kobe. kobe is the 2nd best shooting guard of all time after mike i personally believe. if basketball at all looked slopper back then it's because the perimter defense was so much tighter. just look at all the coaches and former players who believe mike could score 45ppg+ in todays era and could break wilts record of 100

[sunnyboy8644]

@jacknicklaus99 you're 22 years old and you're saying you watched prime Michael play ?

i think you're talking about the second 3 peat right ? at that time Michael wasnt in his prime......

and kobe bryant is not the greatest of all time.

[Theincrediblantastic]

@jacknicklaus99 fu



[MrWii1997]

@jacknicklaus99 Yeah... Too bad MJ is the greatest ever.

[michaelpostal]

@jacknicklaus99 You've witnessed the prime MJ? Really?......

[TheRasprauve30]

@jacknicklaus99 22 years old lol LOL JUST 22? THERE IS NO WAY HIN HELL YOU SAW MJ IN HIS PRIME....COME ON BRO YOU SAW MJ PAST HIS PRIME IF YOU UNDERSTOOD BASKETBALL THAT YOUNG LOL. IM 1 YEAR YOUNGER THAN KOBE BRO SO I SAW JORDAN HIS HOLE CAREER FROM THE 80'S TO 90'S AND NOW IM DOING THE SAME FOR KOBE. I LOVE KOBE BRO EVEN THOUGH HE GETS ON MY NERVES SOMETIMES WITH THE SHIT DOSE ON THE COURT LIKE IN THAT DALLAS SERIES BUT I THINK MJ IS STILL BETTER OVER ALL.

[jonnieos]

@TheRasprauve30 that guy is clearly a retard that wants to worship kobe...

[The8310353]

@TheRasprauve30

okkay be honest here. do players now seem quiker and more athletic then they did in the 80s and 90s? or is just me ha

[TheRasprauve30]

@The8310353 ok i will be honest with you its a different era. yea you have players to day that can do more with the basketball in hand as far as dribbling to some extent but not that much. there are things that these players do today some of the older players could not and there are some things the old players did that the players to day still cant do. as far as the players today being quicker....HELL NO lol some of the rules have changed but the game is still the same old basketball.

[TheRasprauve30]

@The8310353 i will tell you this. the players today dont know the game mentally the way they did back in the day. its all one on one and taking these difficult shots. they might look good if and when they go in but they really just dont know a lot of the fundamentals of the game to make the shots they take more efficient and easer. they are great athleticly but they are not reaching there full potential.

[TheRasprauve30]

@The8310353 but dont get it messed up, i still thank kobe bryant one of the best to ever play the game of basketball hands down. kobe IS that good but we just forget history and what happend before. well all think that the era we grow up in is the best. lol

[jonnieos]

@jacknicklaus99 your 22 you completely missed michael in his prime you dipshit...

[sertifika]

@jacknicklaus99 this is the problem...you think :)

[JROQ5772]

@jacknicklaus99 Respect from a die hard Lakers fan

[kobeballer]

Good point, I cant remember the last time Kobe has had a really WIDE open look (that he didnt create himself)

[1090bluh]

1:26 No homo but im takin dat look Real talk

[Zeke4TV]

Kobe Bryant is a unique basketball player.Fundamentally sound,Great Mid-range 3 point shooter,A Sense of The Moment Type of Player.He Loves The Game of Basketball more than anyone ever has.Very Smooth,But Strong as well.He's definetly Top 5 Greatest of All-Time,He May Be The Greatest.who knows,its hard to tell.LBJ and Kobe are Both Top 5 of all-time.I read haters,hating on both,so that goes to show you that there both one of the greatest

[0nekhmerXViet]

kobe puts so much spin on his shot compared to ray ray

[TheKobe24greatest]

actually if i remember correctly didnt kobe have 12 straight 3s just asking

[flyingduckzz]

@TheKobe24greatest  9 in a row, 12 in a game

[TheKobe24greatest]

@flyingduckzz oh ok thanks

[22rayj]

@TheKobe24greatest no  juss 12 threes in a game not straight

[adventure1011y]

@TheKobe24greatest yeah against seattle

[dilan4me]

@adventure1011y against the ray allen 

[adventure1011y]

@dilan4me yep

[retardopose]

@TheKobe24greatest He had 12 in one game where 9 of them where without missing. he has shot 9 without missing vs the jazz too.

[lalalaelfullin]

@TheKobe24greatest well 9 straight, i think. but still hes the best hahaha

[TyrantszTheName]

@TheKobe24greatest Nahh he didntt. He just madee 12 3's in one game. Not in a row.

[StephonKingJames]

@TheKobe24greatest dude he hit 12 three not straight though

[MrPrincePhengie]

@TheKobe24greatest

Not 12 straight 3's, but 9 straight 3's made without a missed and 12 3's in a game (NBA record).

[souljasai]

@TheKobe24greatest

kobe had 9 straight 12/18 in a single game nba record in a single game

[hoopenmj]

@TheKobe24greatest that was in the regular season, not the finals

[CamberLongboards]

@TheKobe24greatest no, 9... he got twelve in one game... you dont deserve that name

[TimLam9872]

@TheKobe24greatest

actually dont think he did cuz ty lawson got 10 in a row this year and he was announced the player who had the most amount of threes in a game (tied with someone else)

[huitlacochi]

@TheKobe24greatest He got 12, but not straight

[datlenoxnigga]

@TheKobe24greatest nah he mad 12 tied for the most not straight

[lolyourafag1]

@TheKobe24greatest haha are you dumb it not 12 straight 3's he made 12 3's in one game do you watch basketball?

[DrAsiz]

@lolyourafag1

Chill Mr. Wikipedia

[sburkha3]

This is good stuff. Nice work!

[KMRecords1]

what the song?

[teneight]

what song is this you have playing in the backround?

[zariahpresleigh]

nice video...i dont understand why people were so hyped about RAY ALLENS eight wide open threes that he hit...dont get me wrong it was a great shooting exhibition but the way KOBE creates and knocks shots down over and over again deserves some type of credit. RAY ALLEN will go down as the best three point shooter of all time. so why give him all that credit when he makes 8 wide open?

[zeroclod]

@zariahpresleigh AMEN THANK YOU! People belittle the efforts of the best player in the game. Unlike Ray Allen, Kobe is ALWAYS covered by at least one guy and hes use to that. People dont realize how difficult it is to make the type of shots he makes and perform on the level that he plays on everyday. Only people who truly respect the game can realize the greatness of KB. Dont get me wrong Ray Allen is good but look at Kobe's 9 3's in a row and you'll see what happens when he is left open too.

[tupark82]

"celtics could be in for some serious trouble tonight"

i highly doubt it. there's a reason he's shooting a really poor percentage in this series especially in the 4th quarter. i believe he's shooting under 30% in the fourth quarter in this series.

[MrCLUTCHautomatic]

@tupark82 youre an idiot. hes doin bad in the 4th because hes tired out due to not being able to get rest because the Lakers bench sucks.

[tupark82]

@MrCLUTCHautomatic i love how "being tired" is an excuse when he's off, but when he's not missing shots, it's not an excuse. And then i have people like you calling me names because you don't agree with a valid point. Grow up kiddo

[CaliSkaterChick]

@tupark82 can u do better?

[tupark82]

@CaliSkaterChick no i can't. i don't believe i need to do better to state facts or opinions online, but thanks for the smart mouthing :]

[Anthony982149]

@tupark82

You never stated the reason why he is shooting so poorly in the 4th quarter... What's your reason?

[tupark82]

@Anthony982149 lol... celtics team defense. good enough?

[Anthony982149]

@tupark82

If Kobe was really trying to aim to score 50 points against the celtics, I'm sure he could. Look back at the 2nd half of the last game they had... Kobe with like 21 points in 3rd quarter alone...

He's always trying to get everyone on the team involve and when it's not working out, it's usually to late to come back from it.

Celtics defense is good, but I don't think that's going to stop him if he really wanted and needed to score.

[vayahoo]

@Anthony982149 i agree with u

I know for a fact that there no defense can beat a good offensive player ( ex. KObe)

no mattter how good defend u playing a guy if he on fire he ON FIRE no way to stop him Unless he stop himself
