Kobe Bryant greatest games: 21pts in historic 4th vs Dallas

[MrMoneymaker4444]

it was 28 point deficit

[NallePu83]

NBA today is FAKE!

[Clutch3Ball]

Averages usually aren't that impressive. Take for instance MJ's three point shooting. He had a season where he played 17 games and averaged 50% on his 3 PT shooting. But when he plays 82 games it's like 20%.

There's many factors that weigh in on the averages. It was impossible for Kobe to average 30.1 career ppg. Why? Because he started playing in the NBA when he was a 17 year old kid. Averaging 7.6 points off the bench. He had to build up his scoring. It took years for him to be at a great lvl

[NallePu83]

@Clutch3Ball You know why Kobe score 50 point or 60.....because NBA changed the rules early 2000.

Kobe would never score 81 point back in 90s :-P

[Clutch3Ball]

@NallePu83 That's probably so. In that 2006 game, Kobe got to 81 because in the last couple of minutes in the fourth quarter, his team mates deliberately passed the ball to him and let him attack the basket as much as possible. He got fouled a lot of times too. I don't think anyone in any era who's a shooting guard can get to 81 points without the consent of ALL his team mates. You look at the last 20 points scored in that game. All were by Kobe. He's would need a lot more passes in the 90s.

[fuwestside4]

@Clutch3Ball wtf are u fucking stupid lmfao?

[Clutch3Ball]

@fuwestside4 No. But I'm happy to hear you elaborate on your statement. Cause for all I can say, only stupid people are the ones who don't have arguments.

[ambuj1991]

@Clutch3Ball he still had to score them..those points that is.. and the defense knew it was going to him.. c'mon..where is the love..?

[Clutch3Ball]

@ambuj1991 Hehe, don't worry. I still love Kobe for showing what greatness is all about. He's still the best.

[ambuj1991]

@Clutch3Ball i know.. these great player debates are overrated.. there have been so many great players in the league over the last 50 years.,.unreal.

[ajmaddy17]

@Clutch3Ball wut u mean 20% he averaged lik 40%

[Clutch3Ball]

@ajmaddy17 No way. You look at his first four seasons he averaged 13,2 - 18,2%. Then during his final years he couldn't get over 30%. Clear inconsistency. He was outright pathetic from outside.

[vtl0403]

and they say shaq carried kobe n da lakers lmao shaq quitted in the 2nd q

[bonebanner]

Terry wasn't on the team at that time idiots

[TheRalphjoseph]

[2pacisthebest90]

kobe goat

[NBAfan1993]

@2pacisthebest90 mj

[blackshd0w]

damn, he used to be so fuckin quick! i miss the days of him watching him drive to the paint like that. oh well. his shot is no less beautiful. greatest player of ..my time.

[zacatak619]

im a way bigger kobe bryant fan than you

[JohnnyFlyn]

@zacatak619 fuck u no your not

[JohnnyFlyn]

and hes a side kick?

[tiger1649]

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE MOST COMPETITIVE PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY! KOBE ALSO IS THE ONLY PLAYER THAT WAS GREAT AT EVERY ASPECT OF THE GAME ! FROM THREE'S TO CRAZY DEFENSE! EXAMPLE: 12 THREE'S & 9 IN A ROW, PLUS THE LOCKDOWN ON ALLEN IVERSON, & KOBE BRYANT 38PT'S VS T MAC IN THE 4TH QTR TAKEOVER GAME! ON DEFENSE! NO OTHER PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY EVER PLAYED AS GOOD OR BETTER ON BOTH ENDS! PERIOD!

[thechromosome1]

WOW that was crazy

[sshaxy]

people complained about him being a ball hog... before this he used to pass.. thats why his average in assist is like 4.6.. but then situations like this where his teamates suck ass cause him to ball hog and do extremely well offensively.. so then these games are in the media and everyone says he doesnt pass due to the games he has to take over

[z4ng3tsu1ch1g0]

Lol at Cuban's face at 1:25

I wonder how his face looked like during the 4th qtr of that game

[isaiahcruz]

what shoes are kobe wearing here?

[sexcguyedwin]

kobe, tmac, ai. he's that last one standing

[YoungMoney5421]

Just being kobe

[kobefan124]

LMFAO! i wonder how that fuckin douche mark cuban was feeling after the game

[TheKBfan]

the mavs should have won championships with that roster... i mean nash, terry, nowitzki and bradley, the tallest guy in the league.

[Rustaveli2k7]

MJ is so much more outside the court, his statue supposedly is so high that people are brainstormed by his commercials and Media hype.

On the court Kobe is the best period.

[PeruvianCactus]

@Rustaveli2k7 No what the fuck you are retarded. Firstly, there is no 'best period' and if there is its 100% surely not Kobe.

[Clutch3Ball]

@Rustaveli2k7 I know what you mean. MJ is seen as "God" for so many brainwashed people. Not to take anything away from the man. MJ was incredible, and he had some of the biggest physical advantages (for instance, his 50 inch vertical).

But I certainly wouldn't trust him having the ball if my team is down 3 points and we need a three pointer to tie. Give it to Kobe, a fundamentally better player on all aspects and entangibles of basketball.

[TheRafaelBond]

@Rustaveli2k7

haha what a dumbfuck you are!

[DPB54]

Houston Rockets ? wtf lol

[x2Legit2Quit]

last time i checked, Kobe bryant has been injured pretty much his entire career, and he still mops the court with everyone

[Rustaveli2k7]

KObe always was a beast, after he retires believe me he is going down as greatest ever.

[jaybezzy3]

idk if he'll b better than jordan but we will see how many rings he got when its all said and done......but i know 1 thing for sure he will definitely be known as the greatest scorer in nba history cuz i do believe if he stays in the nba for another 7 or 8 years and average 25 and better which he is capable of he will past kareem abdul jabbar on the all-time scoring list

[thaCM5]

MJ and Wilt averaged 30.1ppg for their career's and Kobe is around 16th or something like that on the all-time scoring list. I don't think he's going to be in the top 5 on that list. Sorry you don't know what you're talking about.

[lacomaviberecordS]

lol your actualy the one who doesnt because shaq is 5th all time and kobe is around 3000 points bhind him and he will probably catch up in 2 or 3 season and will probably surpass shaq

[thug8200]

@thaCM5 kobe will be the all time scoring leader in 5 years

[Sapdow]

@thaCM5 "I don't think he's going to be in the top 5 on that list." Your comment is a year old, and kobe has jumped up TEN places since then. So do you still think he's going to be in the top 5 when it's all said and done?

[TheRafaelBond]

@Rustaveli2k7

stupidity

[TruPainFs]

proper grammar does not exist in the internet buddy.

[protoj01]

So ur saying Kobe doesn't have heart? He doesn't have the heart of a lion? R u serious? Kobe doesn't have focus like mj did??? Watta hell do u think the call him the black mamba for? He didn't get that name out of a hat. Kobes determination and killer instinct is what seperates him from everybody. Only an ignorant would think Kobe isn't focused...

[asdfghjkl10531]

yeah well most likely you didnt live in MJ's time because I remember the difference

MJ has so much more and IS so much more. Sorry but Micheal jordan is better

And to everyone else, "the heart of a champion" is for the Houston Rockets ONLY

Thats where it came from, and thats where it stays

[TruPainFs]

how did wade get worst u idiot? he was injured and this season was the best he had... ur a idiot

[imchill123]

your a idiot?

your AN idiot, idiot

[TheLastPictureShow]

Yo, dude-

It's "You're".

[khoi606]

the know the main difference b/w kobe and dwade? kobe got better w/o shaq and dwade got worst haha

[rl3and1]

OMG!!!!  Kobe you're amazing.

[OCgrl88]

Poor Dallas Mavericks....first Kobe brings the team back for a win, then he single handed out scores you guys 62-61..LOL

[shall2347]

if he had jordans mindset and focus??? do you watch basketball????

[skwon80]

If Kobe had Jordan's mindset and focus, he'd be unstoppable.

[kanguesso]

i agree 1000% my friend. i think that's what really separates the two. jordan had the will of a fucking lion. you had better rip his heart out and feed it to him in order to beat him.

[imchill123]

skwon what the FUCK are you talking about. have you EVER watched ONE full game of a basketball, when kobe played it in?

[axlbundy316]

Your Robert Horry arguments irrelavent. Does horry have even one finals mvp.? Didn't think so. Jordan played in an era where defense was actually important with most teams. Kobes great and would be in any era, but hes not better than mj. Jordan was scoring 40 at age 40 in the new era.

[khoi606]

hah kobe can score 40 also at age 40, i wouldnt doubt it. i dont think u would either. so that discount that arguement

[Power2People59]

sick final shot by kobe with that spin move.

[nealogz]

KObe is the best. PLEASE Accept it thats the fact guyz? ok cant you see you dumb people!

[fallingangell666]

i love seeing cuban celebrating thru 3 quarters the the 4th seeing him in disbelief

[IsaacDelarge]

The Dallas Mavericks have a history of chokeage against the Lakers. They always come out firing on all cylinders in the first 3 quarters, and they always choke a big one in the 4th quarter. It's like ebb and flow, it's natural for them.

[Scmdx]

luckiest game ever.

[jimmaa66]

it wasn't luck its skill

[kingkoosky]

kobe = mavs killer

mavs = biggest chokers ever

[Scmdx]

Fuck you.

[Kingy12321]

i know that the Lakers got blown out in game 6, but that wasn't choking because they never had a chance. this, ladies and gentlemen, is choking

[Machineboy24]

r u talking about the nba finals this year???

[sheanne05]

greatest comeback..

KObe consistently great player

[bnobno]

one beautiful comeback

[efreshperry]

kobe dominated....his mentality is what seperates him from everyone else...

[whatzupdudes7]

single handedly won the game

[gobble2000]

notice out of that 21 points he only shot once and he was wide open.

if you watch his video against the Utah Jazz he made 9 3-pointers in a role that proves he is the best all around player in the league, fuck lebron, fuck Dwade, fuck T-mac, and fuck AI

[dwaynejr88]

you r 100000000% right

[kobefan009]

hell ye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[efreshperry]

very true...also none of those player have that killer instinct..like kobe

[BRunk84]

@gobble2000 you forgot to fuck Dirk

[TheSizMan]

@gobble2000 little mean dont you think lol

[tfag2]

@gobble2000 i believe it was 9 3's vs. the Supersonics in a row and he ended up with 12 three's for the game which is tied for the most 3 pointers in one game.

[Swish41m]

@gobble2000 Dirk> Kobe

[dar818]

@Swish41m ...You wish!!!!!

[ZakyK16]

you got to admire his game-i mean just look at that...he single handedly carried the team to one of the toughest team in the Western confernece that time!

[mlke]

kobe said he doesn't want to be compared to jordan. they're unique in their own ways.

[seanjonn]

kobe is the greatest

[remarkable20]

I'm a jordan fan to but kobe simply has the best (offense) in the league and his defense is above average also. With Lebron you could say that he makes everyone better like jordan did, but he would have made it that far if it was'nt for his cast. Kobe is so good that he can carry a team to the playoffs in the toughest conference of the NBA. He might not win it all but who else could do that other than iverson.

[remarkable20]

To be honest the only thing that seperated jordan from kobe is the 3 point shot, Everyone talks about IQ but jordan would'nt have won without his suporting cast as well as kobe. 1 on 1 i really believe kobe would bust jordan ass as well as my ass and your ass too. People don't realize that kobe did play jordan already in his early years in the league and the ending score was'nt much far apart.

[blueballgamer]

youre an idiot....jordan in his prime vs a young kobe? wow lets do kobe prime vs old jordan then

[remarkable20]

I did not say a young kobe vs prime jordan was better. I was stating that young kobe had so much potential that he could compete with prime jordan. And im only stating facts, The only thing jordan has way over kobe is total of 40 plus point games in his career, and kobe will beat or will get close before his time is done. Oh yeah and even Phil Jackson agrees that kobe is better and he coached jordan through 6 championships.

[markobe24]

you are idiot. I am kobe fan but I admit that nobody is close to jordan and will ever be. fuck the statistics and everything. jordan=6 titles. when kobe get 6 or 7 he will be better. jordan-god of basketball. stop comparing him to any baller today

[justasijus]

You think that the best player is the one who won most titles???? Robert Horry got 7 rings but no one says that he is best ever. Believe me defence right now in nba is much better then in Jordan's days. I know Jordan is very good but i think Kobe is as good as Jordan or even better because he got more skills and he is shooting better over better defence.

[warcheif15]

very well said justasijus,nobody has said it better..but the arguement will still go on,trust me..i am a kobe fan,but in the jordan era i was drooling over jordan.. but skillwise,yeah kobe...gametime heroics,kobe's there,but jordan's just soo up there,hard to get.

[khoi606]

dude jordan got nba refs and commisioner under his wings. kobe is hated ever since that rape charge. He has to earn his. jordan commit an offensive foul against russel of the jazz to get his six championship n he didnt get the call.

[warcheif15]

yea,i know my friend..but jordan is really up there,he is mr. CLUTCH..and many players get away of offensive fouls,trust me..LAKERS 2010 champs!

[INGTOCABLE]

lol

[daoneproductions]

jordan is retired....nex generation

[cunemcez]

Jordan's natural ability gives him the edge over Kobe. Jordan can leap higher, get fatigued later, and most importantly he was the best decision maker (i.e., Magic). Kobe has worked/practiced hard to elevate his game to a Jordan like level (playing defense and offense) and for that only; Kobe deserves to be compared to Jordan. KOBE IS < OR EQUAL TO JORDAN!

In other words for those who will trash my comment, "Kobe isn't Jordan, but he sure as hell is the closest thing" -- Sir Charles

[bChow12]

^^^^ Amen amen

[markobe24]

correct

[sayuki412]

stop the comparison! KOBE IS KOBE! JORDAN IS JORDAN! they are two seperate people, playing in different time period! There are no comparisons!

[utfanatic2000]

That's right, no comparisons. Jordan was obviously better, more contrasts than comparisons.

[Thuggishdeer]

DO YOU GUYS HAVE A PROBLEW wITH COMPARING JORDAN TO LEBRON. IS LEBRON BETTER. WHY?

[utfanatic2000]

I have an issue seriously comparing Jordan to any current player. I think there are a few top 20 players currently, 3 to be exact, but not Lebron.  He is just all potential right now.

[salvador36213]

this is the greatest comeback in nba history

[sfhguibnbhq]

How the fuck was this a "historic" 4th quarter? These 15 year old Mamba jockers don't even know simple math.

[Thuggishdeer]

YOU MORON ITS BECAUSE HE SCORED MOST OF HIS POINTS IN THE 4TH QUARTER IN A COMEBACK WIN. LOOK AT THE SCORE AT HALFTIME AND LOOK AT THE SCORE AT THE END. ITS NOT HISTORIC ON KOBES BEHALF ITS HISTORIC BECAUSE THE LAKERS MADE ONE OF THE BIGGEST cOMEBACKS IN HISTORY LEAD BY BRYANT.

[mlynch07]

hahaha, i fucked up that comment big time. i meant anyone with an iq ABOVE double digits knows that. That's funny shit I made an ass of myself. But honestly, i don't think that opinion is limited to Jordan fanatics. I think nearly everyone knows he's the greatest ever

[ruderennie18]

yo mamma.he's my uncle and bill russell is my grandfather

[mlynch07]

ha.  Alphawolf is such a tool. Jordan's clearly the greatest player of all time, anyone with an IQ in double digits recognizes that simple fact.

[AlphaWolf5]

Jordan is only considered to be the greatest by "Jordan fanatics" . Their knowledge of basketball is limited to watching the ESPN highlight reels or buying Nike shoes.

Real basketball fans know he wasn't the greatest

[utfanatic2000]

Incorrect dumbfuck, quite the opposite, real fans use their brains and realize Jordan destroys Kobe in every face of ball possible save for 3PT shooting.

[Thuggishdeer]

WHY DONT YOU SAY THAT SHIT TO THE LEBRON FANS THEIR COMPARING HIM TO JORDAN MORE THAN KOBE FANS. ESPECIALLY IN SPORTS CENTER, MAN DO THEY LOVE HIS ONE HANDED DUNK, THEY SHOW IT oN HIGHLIGHTS EVERY TIME. PLUS, BECAUSE HE WEARS THE NUMBER 23 EVERYONE IS FIXATED THAT HES GOING TO BE BETTER THAN JORDAN. SO TELL THEM TO SHUT THE HELL UP PLEASE.

[utfanatic2000]

I do say it to LBJ and Wade fans too but most of them aren't goofy enough to compare their player to Jordan.

[markobe24]

you are the biggest idiot on youtube

[momo316]

bruce go fuck your penis with a stirring rod

[Greenery01]

Look the shit up? bruce you bitch. Dallas Mavericks 60-22 at the end of the regular season.wining the semi finals. then losing, ??? aint cool ta take things up the ass, you fuck bitch!

[Greenery01]

Nothin to do with soft defense. The defense is still playing there just getting out worked offensivly and *worked defensivly* . Because of that ^

[dipsetlaker]

them suckas get BOOED

[Greenery01]

That has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH A SOFT DEFENSE.

[Greenery01]

Soft defense hahahaha wow. 88-61 for any team to come back like that in the 4th quarter is nice but listen 3:07. More of any offensive effort by the Lakers to come back. Thought you'd know that bruce you dumb cocksucker!

[selam57]

what a grate came back. lakers rule !

[dachoosenone24]

appreciate these games. hes not gonna be around 4eva

[KB24andmj23dabest]

What's the best comeback

[windowpepper]

kobe is deadly

[jeeazy]

Appreciate these Greatest games, it was a damn good idea!!!!!
