WITHOUT a doubt, Kobe's best season of his career. He averaged a career high 35.4 points per game, showed the league and the whole country a ridiculously sensational amount of talent and dominance, and just straight up outdid EVERYONE. He set milestones and put on a show for everyone... 81 point game, four 50+ games in a row, scoring 40+ seven times in one month, scoring 62 in 3 quarters which outscored the whole mavericks team. Just unbelievable. Kobe is one of the GREATEST to ever play.
we all know that theres no other michael jordan, but kobes is the closest we will ever have to him, what im trying to say is that, phil jackson is the luckiest coach ever!!!
Growing up in SoCal/L.A i was born into a laker family. The laker partys at playoff time remember The Queens of North LOL or the Robert horry game winner against the Furs.Weekend games at my family house screaming at the t.v like a nut. Jumping out of your seat or off your couch huging family danceing like fools .I love all those moments as a True Laker Fan.But after i watched this game i already knew i was watching NBA history and of course Kobe name is along the greats.Lakers Baby!
And you mentioning him doing this around '06 only puts a BIG ASTERISK by it, because that's 1 season AFTER the NBA admitted changing the rules to FAVOR wing players LOL!! The # of wing players in the Top 10 in scoring JUMPED from 3 to 11, and they had a 23% INCREASE in scoring and a 4% INCREASE in efficiency.
B4 this, Shaq was the ONLY active guy with a 60+ pt game. Afterwards, 4 guys had one..ALL wing players (arenas, kobe, t-mac & a.i.).

@RealFan357 NO QUESTION THAT KOBE COPIED SOME ASPECTS OF JORDAN'S GAME! BUT HE DIDN'T COPY HIS THREE POINT SHOOTING, OR THE HANDLE!
AND DIDN'T COPY JORDAN SCORING 81, OR 12THREES IN A GAME, OR OUTSCORE A FINALS TEAM IN 3 QTRS, OR 61 IN MSG, OR 9 STRAIGHT THREE'S,ECT! JORDAN WAS INCOMPLETE AS A PLAYER COMPARED TO KOBE, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO SHOOT THREE'S TO SCORE IN THE MODERN ERA LIKE THIS! KOBE IS THE ONLY TOTALLY COMPLETE PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY!PERIOD!
"YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO SHOOT THREE'S TO SCORE IN THE MODERN ERA"
Hahahahahahaha***wiping my eyes***..that's a good one dumb ass...

mj fagget try to belittle kobe because they can see it like the rest of us realest kobe is honing in on mj and they cant take smh i pray for you haters
Kobe is Basketball .. Much Respect to J, West , Wilt , Kareem and of course Magic But Kobe is the Best Laker of All-Time . Only Second to MJ Overall and he will be as close as it get to him .
you know this Season the 2005 - 2006, Kobe was the BOMB... i mean he flat outscored anybody in the league, but then he was criticized in the reg. season... becuz he took many shots and that he wasn't a team player, but then in the playoffs against the SUNS, he tried to be a team player and they lost and he was criticized for not taking many shot... (in other words, fuck the CRITICS and those be hatin on kobe)
Kobe Got da Whole Package, His ToolBox iz Fulla Techniques, He Got da Best I.Q., Hez da Smartest Player in The NBA, Kobe iz a Basket Ball Scientist.....LeBron is Takin' Notes.............81Pts in a Modern Basket Ball Game !!!!!!! Nobody Will do This Shit Again
lebron is a stat filler...filling every stat there is....but kobe is still better in overall standards....lebron is a beast coz his body still has no injuries...lets see him do the thing he does when his 30+.....kobe will go down as one of the greatest....
Kobe > MJ? SMH..wow..you kobe stans are SERIOUSLY delusional.. Hey kid, lemme know when you can show me a season from kobe where he's EVER: 1) scored 3000+ seasonal pts 2) won Defensive Player Of The Year 3) Scoring Title 4) Steals Title 5) Dunk Title 6) Reg Season MVP 7) All Star MVP ALL IN THE SAME SEASON.. Let me know when you can find a season like that from him LOL!!
@RealFan357 im not saying kobe's better than jordan but those are small stats as foa as 3000 points in a season well he's number 12 and can reach # 6 we a good seaaon this year
Shame though if LeBron is mature now since the last 2 years he'd become a more solid player than kobe but yet Kobe has his experience and mature enough to do something he knows he can do.. but in compare with LeBron, LeBron needs to practice doing what kobe did you should have did.
Lebron is a great player but has very poor sportsmanship..But when it comes to who's more entertaining to watch between him and Kobe? Ofcourse its KOBE HANDS DOWN!!! Kobe is better than Lebron..
@aragornn23 poor sportsmanship?!?!?! just watch a video on youtube, lebron slaps his hands and does the And1 gesture... kobe says " yeah mothafucka yeah and points at the guy he hits the shoot over. besides kobe was not taken out of the game, lebron has 48 pts at the 3rd quarter and feeling it an the coach always sits him, if kobe is feeling it since phill's a good coach he lets him in the game till he misses 3 or 4 straight.
@SuperRafa1212 Yes bro, poor sportsmanship, and a prima donna as well..Remember when the Magic eliminated the CAVS back then? Lebron just went straight to the locker room without even shaking hands with his tormentors..Oh! Have you watched the famous "The Decision"?? What the heck was that man?! Hey, I would always trust the ball to KOBE when the game is on the line than Lebron, ever! Heck! I would trust 20 others more..But Lebron is a very good player ofcourse, he just easily gives up..
@aragornn23 i'll give U the magic but it was frustration of beign named MVP and he loses but , blame the CAVS for the descicion cause if they would have made it just 1 more time to the finals and win or just get there again lebron would've never gone and dude even a star can ask for a trade so he didn't cause literally the clevelan cavaliers team was who???? LEBRON JAMES when kobe does everything for a whole season without gasol, or fisher u call me ok
then who is it retard, when shaq (a real team player) wanted to play for the Lakers, Brian Shaw came over with him from Orlando, you're another dumbass teen
We could say dat we love kobe or love lebron or we hate lebron or hate kobe, but to me, I believe both Lebron and Kobe are just great players, because they both have respect for eachother and they r not like enemies.
Kobe Bryant has always been a student of the game, and throughout the years of learning season after season he adds another element to his game before his career ends he might be considered the best of all time maybe even passing MJ23. KB24 is with out a doubt the best in the game right now lets see how many more MVPs and championships he will accumulate in the coming years... Greatness is defined by winning Championships... To all you LA Laker haters you can bitch all you want... KB24 is MVP
So I guess Robert Horry is considered GREATER than people like Dominique, Wilt, Isaiah, MJ, Kobe, Magic, Bird? I guess Steve Kerr is "as great" as kobe since he has 4 rings as well huh? LOL!!
Sooner or later you kobe fanboys are gonna grow up & realize that rings ARE NOT gauges for one's level of individual skill/talent. That lies in the player's consistently good/bad, on-court production regarding the "skilled facets" of the game..
This is where kobe falls WOEFULLY short in relation to MJ..
we have the rings argument because kobe LEAD the team to 4 rings (now 5). and kobe is NOT "woefully" short to MJ, he's a very close offensive player. possibly 2nd greatest of all time.
Kobe's led them to 5 rings? What?!! No sir! You can BARELY say he's led 'em to these last 2 LOL!!
% of L.A.'s pts scored in the Finals
2000: Shaq 38% > kobe's 14%
2001: Shaq 33% > kobe's 23%
2002: Shaq 36% > kobe's 24%
2004: Shaq 26% (injured) < kobe's 27% <--- notice they lost
So how'd he lead 'em again?
He's been OUTPERFORMED by a teammate in 5 of his 7 finals appearances! Your argument is LAUGHABLE LOL!! 2nd greatest offensive player of all time? LOL!!
probably because of the pressure that the teams put on him when he gets the ball. he gets doubled all the time, and by the way, you're looking really stupid because you're saying this on a kobe video where he score 62 points in three quarters and 81 points in a game.
"probably because of the pressure that the teams put on him"
How? He was the 2nd option!
Shaq was the PRIMARY target of defenses, which got kobe, fisher, fox, horry etc. OPEN LOOKS the majority of the time U moron LOL!! What are you talkin' about?!!
And you wanna talk about his 81 pts or 62 in 3 qtrs? Go check the defensive rating of both teams. In fact, of all of his career 50+ pt games, only 9 were against teams that had at least a .500 record..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Just the points doesnt matter! If u only score points, then this shows how selfish u are, but lebron is taller, and he gets more rebs and thats why lebron got the mvp last year!
It's about winning stupid. People don't remember and don't care about Bird's, MJ's, Russel's or Magic's stats. People care about their rings, their winnings. At least Kobe's point brought wins for Lakers.
fuck all you kobe haters and fuck all you laker haters... kobe scored 81 points..... and your still gonna hate and not give him props?? lakers won 15 nba titles and you lakers haters are gonna say they suck? don't you realize your making you're self look like a fool.....
Fuck all of you ignorant ass YouTube kids & kobe fanboys who try & discredit other players/eras to make a favorable comparison for kobe & today's players..
You idiots do that shit ALL THE TIME, but you wanna call everyone else who breaks out the FACTS about kobe a "hater"? Don't you know you morons make yourselves look like ignorant hypocrites?!!
The door swings both ways kid!!
Next time you wanna start bitchin' & cryin', look at the # of incredibly stupid/ignorant ass comments made by y'all
I though about saying something intelligent to throw you down but then I relaized that you would still hate Kobe so I figured I would just tell you......
GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!!! I fyou can't recognize greatness when it fucks you in the face then you aren't a Basketball fan. As a diehard Laker fan I will be the first to tell you that LeBron's MSG performance was WAY better the Kobe's. BUT, who will the Record belong to in the end.......?
im not a lakers fan but you are just jealous, you say anyone can score 81 poitns if they dont pass...lets see you scorre 81 points in a pick up game man
Kobe is an arrogant SOB, but so was Michael Jordan. . . .Kobe ran out Jackson Michael ran out Collins, except. . . . . Kobe has yet to punch fellow team mates in the face. . . Kerr and Perdue !!! Don't get amnesia. . . . . .I don't understand why people admire wait venerate MJ like that?? It's sick he was a good athlete but he was a horrible person, that doesn't deserve as a human being all this attention.
"Last season, Jordan had to [overcome] the harassment of [zone traps] and [double & triple teaming] to win the scoring title by averaging 37.1 points a game"
-- NY Times, Nov 4, 1987
Y'all act like MJ never saw zones in the NBA, which only shows your LACK of a historical perspective on the game. In college, he played against REAL zones for 3 yrs & shot 54% while doing it! Go look at the '84 olympic team vs NBA players game here on Youtube. See how they zoned MJ all game & what he did to 'em..
MJ faced 3 Top 5 defenses in the Finals. How many for kobe? The avg defensive ranking for the teams MJ faced in the Finals was 7.16. Go see what that # is for the teams kobe faced in the finals & get a good laugh LOL!!
MJ faced 17 Top 5 defenses in the post-season; 24 Top 10 defenses in the post-season & the avg defensive ranking for those teams was 8.35.
MJ's Bulls beat "7" 60+ win teams for their 6 titles. Magic's lakers only beat 1. The best team Bird's celtics ever beat were magic's lakers, his other 2 titles came via 2 mediocre houston squads, 1 of which had a sub .500 record.
"Celtic 2008 defense can stop jordan easily with the zone defense"
LOL!!
"Last season, Jordan had to [overcome] the harassment of [zone traps] and [double & triple teaming] to win the scoring title by averaging 37.1 points a game"
Magic was 31, (same age as kobe is now) when MJ beat him in '91. Magic in '91 had a PER of 25.1 in '91 than he did in '88 (23.1 PER) when he last won a title. So he had a better "overall" season when he's allegedly "past his prime"?
Do you know DUMB you sound?!! LOL!!
And if you wanna play the semantics game, Bird only won 1 title starting from MJ's rookie year ('84) until he retired in '92, whereas MJ won at least 2 Titles during that stretch LOL!!
Kobe did not deserve MVP for '06 or '07 & came in 4th in voting those 2 yrs for a reason.
Guys like Dirk were shooting 40+% from 3's while Kobe was ONLY shooting in the mid 40's with his ENTIRE shot selection. Nash were putting up double doubles EVERY night while shooting 40+% in 3's & 50% in reg shot attempts.
Kobe deserved MVP possibly in 2002-03, but NO WAY he deserved it in '06 & in '07.
i'm guessing you're the supposed real fan that things hand checking doesnt exist in the nba today right?
Also with the lebron james travel rule in effect. There is a video on youtube regarding kobe vs celtics finals and you'll see all the fouls/hand checking/ moving screens the celtics used.
everyonew ill shoot 40% and under if you get fouled on nearly every play.
"When we [disallowed] the use of the [hand] & [forearm] to the [body], that in [conjunction] with the defensive 3 second rule & [hand check] interpretation, [gave] offensive players on the [perimeter], [more offensive freedom]."
-- Stu Jackson; NBA Exec. VP of Operations; "Season Review with Stu Jackson", May 5, 2007
Oh it exists, just "below" the dotted line, where guards spend the minority of their time LOL!!
"wasn't this the same maverick team that made it to the nba finals?"
Yeah, but they weren't ranked in the Top 10 in defense that year either. In fact, he's NEVER scored 50+ vs the #1-2 ranked defense in his career.
I spit these factual daggers about kobe at y'all, because TOO MANY of you kobe fanboys here on YouTube, ALWAYS try to discredit other players accomplishments in order for y'all to make a more "favorable" comparison for him in these kinda' discussions..

you know this Season the 2005 - 2006, Kobe was the BOMB... i mean he flat outscored anybody in the league, but then he was criticized in the reg. season... becuz he took many shots and that he wasn't a team player, but then in the playoffs against the SUNS, he tried to be a team player and they lost and he was criticized for not taking many shot... (in other words, fuck the CRITICS and those be hatin on kobe)

Shame though if LeBron is mature now since the last 2 years he'd become a more solid player than kobe but yet Kobe has his experience and mature enough to do something he knows he can do.. but in compare with LeBron, LeBron needs to practice doing what kobe did you should have did.

Lebron is a great player but has very poor sportsmanship..But when it comes to who's more entertaining to watch between him and Kobe? Ofcourse its KOBE HANDS DOWN!!! Kobe is better than Lebron..
aragornn23 2 years ago 12
@aragornn23 poor sportsmanship?!?!?! just watch a video on youtube, lebron slaps his hands and does the And1 gesture... kobe says " yeah mothafucka yeah and points at the guy he hits the shoot over. besides kobe was not taken out of the game, lebron has 48 pts at the 3rd quarter and feeling it an the coach always sits him, if kobe is feeling it since phill's a good coach he lets him in the game till he misses 3 or 4 straight.
SuperRafa1212 9 months ago
@SuperRafa1212 Yes bro, poor sportsmanship, and a prima donna as well..Remember when the Magic eliminated the CAVS back then? Lebron just went straight to the locker room without even shaking hands with his tormentors..Oh! Have you watched the famous "The Decision"?? What the heck was that man?! Hey, I would always trust the ball to KOBE when the game is on the line than Lebron, ever! Heck! I would trust 20 others more..But Lebron is a very good player ofcourse, he just easily gives up..

@aragornn23 i'll give U the magic but it was frustration of beign named MVP and he loses but , blame the CAVS for the descicion cause if they would have made it just 1 more time to the finals and win or just get there again lebron would've never gone and dude even a star can ask for a trade so he didn't cause literally the clevelan cavaliers team was who????

Kobe Bryant has always been a student of the game, and throughout the years of learning season after season he adds another element to his game before his career ends he might be considered the best of all time maybe even passing MJ23. KB24 is with out a doubt the best in the game right now lets see how many more MVPs and championships he will accumulate in the coming years... Greatness is defined by winning Championships... To all you LA Laker haters you can bitch all you want... KB24 is MVP

So I guess Robert Horry is considered GREATER than people like Dominique, Wilt, Isaiah, MJ, Kobe, Magic, Bird? I guess Steve Kerr is "as great" as kobe since he has 4 rings as well huh? LOL!!
Sooner or later you kobe fanboys are gonna grow up & realize that rings ARE NOT gauges for one's level of individual skill/talent. That lies in the player's consistently good/bad, on-court production regarding the "skilled facets" of the game..
This is where kobe falls WOEFULLY short in relation to MJ..
RealFan357 2 years ago
we have the rings argument because kobe LEAD the team to 4 rings (now 5). and kobe is NOT "woefully" short to MJ, he's a very close offensive player. possibly 2nd greatest of all time.
EllJayOfficial 1 year ago
Kobe's led them to 5 rings? What?!! No sir! You can BARELY say he's led 'em to these last 2 LOL!!
% of L.A.'s pts scored in the Finals
2000: Shaq 38% > kobe's 14%
2001: Shaq 33% > kobe's 23%
2002: Shaq 36% > kobe's 24%
2004: Shaq 26% (injured) < kobe's 27% <--- notice they lost
So how'd he lead 'em again?
He's been OUTPERFORMED by a teammate in 5 of his 7 finals appearances! Your argument is LAUGHABLE LOL!! 2nd greatest offensive player of all time? LOL!!
That's a bad joke LOL!!
RealFan357 1 year ago
probably because of the pressure that the teams put on him when he gets the ball. he gets doubled all the time, and by the way, you're looking really stupid because you're saying this on a kobe video where he score 62 points in three quarters and 81 points in a game.

"probably because of the pressure that the teams put on him"
How? He was the 2nd option!
Shaq was the PRIMARY target of defenses, which got kobe, fisher, fox, horry etc. OPEN LOOKS the majority of the time U moron LOL!! What are you talkin' about?!!
And you wanna talk about his 81 pts or 62 in 3 qtrs? Go check the defensive rating of both teams. In fact, of all of his career 50+ pt games, only 9 were against teams that had at least a .500 record..

"Last season, Jordan had to [overcome] the harassment of [zone traps] and [double & triple teaming] to win the scoring title by averaging 37.1 points a game"
-- NY Times, Nov 4, 1987
Y'all act like MJ never saw zones in the NBA, which only shows your LACK of a historical perspective on the game. In college, he played against REAL zones for 3 yrs & shot 54% while doing it! Go look at the '84 olympic team vs NBA players game here on Youtube. See how they zoned MJ all game & what he did to 'em..
RealFan357 2 years ago
Hey Idiot,
MJ faced 3 Top 5 defenses in the Finals. How many for kobe? The avg defensive ranking for the teams MJ faced in the Finals was 7.16. Go see what that # is for the teams kobe faced in the finals & get a good laugh LOL!!
MJ faced 17 Top 5 defenses in the post-season; 24 Top 10 defenses in the post-season & the avg defensive ranking for those teams was 8.35.
Can you say ANY of that for kobe? Not!!
RealFan357 2 years ago
MJ's Bulls beat "7" 60+ win teams for their 6 titles. Magic's lakers only beat 1. The best team Bird's celtics ever beat were magic's lakers, his other 2 titles came via 2 mediocre houston squads, 1 of which had a sub .500 record.
"Celtic 2008 defense can stop jordan easily with the zone defense"

Magic was 31, (same age as kobe is now) when MJ beat him in '91. Magic in '91 had a PER of 25.1 in '91 than he did in '88 (23.1 PER) when he last won a title. So he had a better "overall" season when he's allegedly "past his prime"?
Do you know DUMB you sound?!! LOL!!
And if you wanna play the semantics game, Bird only won 1 title starting from MJ's rookie year ('84) until he retired in '92, whereas MJ won at least 2 Titles during that stretch LOL!!

"kobe was robbed of the mvp"
Kobe did not deserve MVP for '06 or '07 & came in 4th in voting those 2 yrs for a reason.
Guys like Dirk were shooting 40+% from 3's while Kobe was ONLY shooting in the mid 40's with his ENTIRE shot selection. Nash were putting up double doubles EVERY night while shooting 40+% in 3's & 50% in reg shot attempts.
Kobe deserved MVP possibly in 2002-03, but NO WAY he deserved it in '06 & in '07.
RealFan357 2 years ago
i'm guessing you're the supposed real fan that things hand checking doesnt exist in the nba today right?
Also with the lebron james travel rule in effect. There is a video on youtube regarding kobe vs celtics finals and you'll see all the fouls/hand checking/ moving screens the celtics used.
everyonew ill shoot 40% and under if you get fouled on nearly every play.

kobe lite up every team that season and was robbed the mvp. Even Larry Bird wanted to throw his mvp away because of how they didn't give it to kobe.

"wasn't this the same maverick team that made it to the nba finals?"
Yeah, but they weren't ranked in the Top 10 in defense that year either. In fact, he's NEVER scored 50+ vs the #1-2 ranked defense in his career.
I spit these factual daggers about kobe at y'all, because TOO MANY of you kobe fanboys here on YouTube, ALWAYS try to discredit other players accomplishments in order for y'all to make a more "favorable" comparison for him in these kinda' discussions..
