Kobe Bryant 44 points vs Spurs 2002-03(40 point streak)

[ChillyCloth]

I wish I could be his friend :(

[TheCoasterGod]

"That's just dumb." LMAO!

[azn25centt]

Kobe dropped 44 on Ginobili.

[beastmode40205]

2:51 he was wearin the 3's too?? I've seen him wear the 8's but not 3's, man Kobe might as well have stayed unsponsored cause it's crazy seeing him rock Jordans

[Bayzky]

too bad they lost.. that's why in this season (2002-2003) they have been dethroned by the spurs, because of kobe's pursuance of becoming the main option of the lakers that time.. the start of the shaq and kobe feud..

[hbp555]

shoulda been mvp that year

[unioncity]

Gotta be his shoes :)

[SLUGTHUG]

 0:44 Somebody call David Stern, cos this cannot be within the rules of the league.

[slapshot68]

@SLUGTHUG yeh he definteli on steriods, lol

[actoman1]

kobe bryant is better than michael jordan

[RohoicRamz94]

@actoman1 In what raping girls?

[riverjudephoenix1993]

[IOYB]

5:17 lol

"MIH-BIH!!"

[lordg17]

i dt wanna be too coky but this is 2003 -04

[fighter91]

@lordg17 this is 2002-2003. in 04 lakers had payton and malone in the starting 5 and yet if u look at this video they are nowhere to be found.

[iMPERiOUS]

the announcer pisses me off.

[NBA1529]

2nd greatest SG of all time right there... YEAH I SAID IT!!

[shaybutta11208]

41 fieldgoal attempts is just disgusting

[kanguesso]

yep, you're right. 41 shots to score 44 points? that's horrible.

[GTDyno]

It's gotta be the shoes! They actually make you play just like Jordan!!

[1252828]

@GTDyno yep i noticed the shoes too. haha!!

[griever808]

I know.

[griever808]

I would have loved to see lebron matched up against a younger Kobe bryant, Kobe would made chopped liver out of lebron.

[deshaun88]

Excatly right..lebron woulda stood no chance at his age with his non jumper havn ass!

[tennythomas123]

kobes wearing the 3s... but i cant figure out which one

[joeygladsaget]

oh no i didn't perceive it as a diss at all, and trust me, i know their D today isn't what it was back then, i guess what ur sayin is that porter was an excellent defender back in his days with portland and other teams, because when he was with the spurs he was a great shooter and clutch shooter, actually i guess he played pretty solid d. But anyways, kobe back in those three-peat days actually scared me more than he does now, he seemed meaner back then

[joeygladsaget]

true man, he did light my spurs up back then(i.e. 46 points in game 1 of the 2001 conference finals to set the tone for an embarrasing sweep by the lakers in which antonio daniels was the primary defender on kobe and got lit the fuck up) but terry porter was hardly a lockdown defender, and stephen jackson didn't have a prominent role until 02-03

[willbabyboi1988]

Im a Huge Kobe fan but all the comparisons have got to stop.. Kobe, Mike, LeBron, and D-Wade are all extremely gifted basketball players and entertainers in their own right

[IOYB]

5:17

Wtf did Tirico just say? lol

[lagosdre]

SPURS won...

[RTR9]

yea right lol Kobe is way better now and when he was 24 and he already had 2 rings lol james lost his first time there and its nothing special then a one handed dunk all the time its annyoing

[gocelts34n7]

stfu already, theyre both great (so is Dwyane Wade too by the way)

[clarkman83]

LOL at Mike Tirico from 1:40-1:45!

[Rustaveli2k7]

lol and people say lebron is better at age 24..lol HAHAHAHAHA

[bigevil50]

@Rustaveli2k7 yayy kobe scores 40 points on 100 shot attempts fuckin ballhog

[BeefPapa]

@bigevil50

He averaged 6 assists per game that season. That is hardly a ball hog. In fact, and I know you don't know this, but he has led the Lakers in assists every year since Van Exel's departure, which was a long long time ago. So smarten up, and don't be Kobe-hating just for the heck of it. Learn to think for yourself, and look alive out there.

[TBOBW2020]

@Rustaveli2k7 the one who say that are just HATERZZZZZZ MAN KOBE THA REAL MVPPPPP

[heavyrain24]

@Rustaveli2k7 lebitch ? no chance . derrick rose maybe better than kobe some day

[lostprophet989]

This is Kobe Bryant at the age of 24 absolutely tearing up the then-champion Spurs. He still has the blinding speed and first step at this point. These Spurs are the equivalent of last years Celtics and he is destroying their lockdown D.

Too bad people don't remember this and still praise Lefraud James for making dunks and being streaky at range.

[Bobmarleythreebirds]

oh wow Boston owns everyone in here. 17 championships oh yeah...... As of now, they have the best chemistry in the NBA. Steve Nash is a better shooter than Kobe. That's what I think. Though, Nash is my favorite player, Kobe is my second. Lebron sucks PERIOD.

[chitownmo]

Lebron James offensive skill set is not this advanced. He cannot even hit half of his shots from outside of 5 feet from teh basket(34%; 319-932). Lay ups and dunks. That is it. Sorry, that is not a great scorer.

[LmOnAy]

man during this stretch of games he just abused everyone. No one can match this guy's ability. perimeter/inside/post/etc most complete player since Jordan PERIOD. and he was 25 during this stretch.

[KobeMVP4life]

this is why I hate when people say Lebron is better than Kobe. That year Kobe was only 25 years old. Lebron is 24 years old now. So if Lebron is so much better than Kobe than he should be doing this type of thing 1 year from now. Don't get me wrong Lebron is a freak of natural and in my mind a better finisher than Kobe but overall for example the fadaway/jump shot, Lebron has known of those patiented

[LakersDynasty42]

LeBron's a better finisher because he's a freak of nature but let's see him get some game-winners. By the time Kobe was 25 he was a clutch player, LeBron's not even close to that. Look at what he's done in the playoffs. Layups, dunks and giving the ball to a teammate.

[Jaywilly24]

People who say Lebron is a better player at this stage in his career are smoking some goodass shit! Kobe was dominating everyone in everyway early in his career!

[LakersDynasty42]

I don't think that you can compare LeBron to anyone because he's 265 pounds. I'm not saying he isn't a good player but I don't think he'd be nearly as good if he were Kobe's size (205).

[lujavana]

this is the game in which ginobili scored 33?

[Terren831]

who cares

[joniesan]

Thing bout Jordan is that he not only scored lots of points, he WON games....

[alleyxcat]

like his team won 55 games when Jordan went to play baseball ? Right.

[jdgarza32]

dude kobe still has 10 yrs left

[FlamesXT10]

how?

[tom24lakers]

it's your facourite team...only

[1jmb72]

fuck yea

[DIDDYKoNg81kool]

lakers rock whoever likes them send me a fiend invatation

[TheMaku]

the announcers are annoying

[L92185]

he will be back to this form juz wait kobe fans!!

[L92185]

kobe is the goat but his knees are starting to really bother him thats why he isnt as explosive as b4!!!

[Miksujordani]

Kobe is best Shooter in Nba! :D Nice shots!

[FlamesXT10]

he cant score like this anymore

[1jmb72]

wat

[johnthecoolguy]

49 vs. denver

[LosFace55]

Wow Scarface, I guess you dont know basketball history. The Lakers are probably the most storied franchise in all of sports. I believe the have 14 of those trophies compared to 3* your weak Spurs have. Yeah I said *.  99 season, a short season that really shouldnt have counted. 03 season, teams they played in the playoffs were not at full strength. 05 give them props, they earned it that season. 07, I believe the Suns owned you guys until that Robert Horry cheap shot.

[jlittle721]

tim duncan can suck a fat cock u dumb fucks....let's see how far they go this year faggot....kobe bryant owns the spurs and tim duncan is a bank shot pussy

[BallinVETO]

i agree.

[falkner23]

Lakers are back i hope they win the championship this year & kobe gets finals mvp 2 shut up all the haters

[falkner23]

nice game he's on fire , kobe looks good with the Air Jordans on

[LosFace55]

Its all good. To me the Spurs have some of the softest players there are. Tony Parker, hits his head on Steve Nash's nose and he was the one all crying.  Gino-body looks like he is doing karate kicks with his major flops. And Tim Duncan saying he will never play for the U.S. basketball team because the international competition plays too rough. Hahahahahaha, last time I checked the Spurs are considered asterik champions more than anything.

[delyshBB]

yet, they're one of the best defensive teams in the league and they shut down lebron james in the finals. i'm a lakers fan, but don't hate one the spurs because they're good. especially on d.

[scarfacelegacy]

yawns..what ever put trophies on the wall!, by the way, how many trophies does your team have??....with that said i understand if "shame" wont let u reply to my comment...

[rompetexos]

i hope another 40+ point streak :P

[scarfacelegacy]

Dont hate on the spurs!If u got something to say, just look at the four championships sitting ont the wall!I remember tears falling off the lakers faces as they cryed about losing the championship to us..It was so sweet.Next time u people put down the spurs i hope it taste like ass when u say it!Long live the "tim duncan era"

[ArcadianGenesis]

Haha, this video is meaningless. The Spurs won, and the best player in that game was Duncan with 28 and 20.

[krazygreen]

7 seconds into the video says it all, "Gold and Purple of the Back to Back to Back champions". Wow, I forgot how good that sounds rolling off your toungue.

[brokenmonkey000]

lmao - a little RAAAAZLE DAAAZLE!

[Regnova]

man.. this dude is the best player ever.. are u kidding me? 1:33 - 1:41

[OHHJORDAN]

19-41 for 44 points. Thats not good

[omarzk1]

well its almost 50%, but ye 41 is too many shots

[deadfresh10]

its actuall not that bad. about 45%

[BrianShaw23]

jmp, shut the fuck up. people can say w/e they want about anything. who cares if ppl talk about body fat %, he's just proving kobe was heavier during 2004-05.

[jmvp10]

LAkersRule why are u even talkin bout body fats, how do u even know em, and why da fuck do u wanna know???? about those stuf.......

I love kobe... but i aint gonna go as far as you....

U NEED A FUCKIN LIFE MAN........

GET ONE HURRY>>..........

[LakersRule24]

Because it's true. Kobe was stronger in the 2004-05 season. He was 230.

[fmcneillii]

@LakersRule24 bigger dont mean stronger!

[fmcneillii]

@LakersRule24 weight and strength are not the same. He lost weight but he isn't weaker by any stretch.

[heavyrain24]

@jmvp10 ur country ...sigh.. next life time .. get a real country

[jrodjwt09]

could have done better

[LakersRule24]

I don't know why people say Kobe was huge in 02-03. He was just cut with a low body fat percentage. 2004-05, now THATS huge(but with a hugher body fat percentage).

[badwane]

02-03 kobe was huge, the offseason before this season, kobe put on 15 pounds of muscle with less then 8 percent body fat, if you look at his body built then and now, theirs a considerable difference....kobe is now in his veteran stage tho, were the game comes easy to him mentally, and he doesnt have to use all his physical gifts like before to score 40 pts a game, the game is all mental for him now, too easy...

[JohnRkoDorian]

Kobe made his best season these year..

Was a complete player with a great teammete like Shaq.

After Colorado's incident somthing has changed in Kobe..

Please if you have other video of these season upload it.

[rayjusppg]

he's better then than he is now. One reason because as metioned, shaq is there. Another is because he doesn't settle for the 3 as much(Even though I think he settles for the three because of being tired and age)

[1balla1]

i no mann

29 is soo old

and if hes tired its probably pretty hard to shoot alot of threes

[jeeazy]

02-03 Kobe, nothing like em!Amazing a$# upload man!

[stephenmorita]

I think that 02-03 might have been Kobe's best season to be honest. He played within the offensive while still taking over individual games. That scoring streak he had was unreal and his defense this year was outstanding. This Kobe compared to 06 & 07 Kobe is much different. Kobe was more efficient in this offense b/c he played with Shaq and had somebody else to take the pressure off of him offensively. He didn't draw doubles and triples every possession like he does now.

[ImmortalDragon]

Thanks a lot.

[Janggoon1]

Great Vid...loved the 02-03 kobe...
