Kobe follow through: unnatural basketball move?

[chrisepoo213]

its called flopping its a smart thing to do

[davybarrecks]

The first one was pretty much a phantom call, but those happen a lot when It's Kobe.

It really shouldn't have been a foul... Barely touched him...

[wlshl3one]

ive seen better....ALOT BETTER

by kobe

[KuostA]

its called losing balance.

[BapeSta818]

ALL THIS ARE FAIR. none of thses are travel or flops kobe is so smart thats why hes the best he knows how to play

[cutemode05]

the last move vs spurs,Kobe play was traveled!!

[TigerStar406]

Thats what all you retarded haters say for instance

Call time out- Travel

Shoot Free Throw-Travel

A jumper- travel

Leaving the stadium- Travel.

Dumb ass

[Jumpman0818]

that's cuz the NBA is where traveling happens

[1RetroMetro1]

trys to fadeaway but failed cause he doesnt time it

[stlMO09]

maybe he throws his arms around like that to try and balance himself...like every other person on the planet does when they're in the air.

[terence1042]

no you and kobe are!

[PJDuBII]

0:13 =]

[Mart33nMan]

wasnt this when he scored 81 points

[EBsportswiz]

that last comment was directed to ramyaaax21

[ANOTHERWORLDKREATION]

its called cheating haha

the best of the best players do it

and only the best get away with it...

its strategy

[tybo97]

dumb video its called drawin a foul for a reason its part of being a good player

[wue2117]

omg you are such a faggot

i respect kobe for all he's done and his skill, but throwing your arms up and yelling when theres no contact, trying to draw a foul is NOT pat of being a good player. MJ didnt do it, Magic didnt do it, Bird didnt do it, Hakeem didnt do it, Bill Russell didnt do it, Kareem didnt do it. so stfu

[tybo97]

game has changed my friend, isnt how it used to be and im not proud of it, but shit happens

[Ramyaaax21]

kobes a fag

[EBsportswiz]

you're a fag

[Keichan2501]

It's not that it's unnatural. That's called travelling.

[akoangtropamo]

the starting game, is that the game when kobe made 81pts?

[wontownme]

wow this is point less every1 does it

[v3n0m1215]

u cant follow through properly if ur gettin hacked

[Tmac4ever100]

0:42 was a great mve

[fattymattyd4]

one of the stupidest, most pointless videos on youtube. idiot

[tehelol1]

Boston Celticsdo these kinds of shit 24/7. Especially their Paul Pierce.

[Andres247ish]

unnatural

good plays thats it buddy

[Garrrrry5]

0:37

[dakejerramas]

its part of the nba.

[nigainawhitetee28]

shyt u must h8 paul pierce, nigga does it 24-7

[Basketcase641123]

fo real nigga

[ceezybaby]

shut the fuck up

[FFLOVER525]

Jordan is the greatest

[H0lyPh3n0m]

haha thats just kobe

the greatest at his works my dude

[jkballer16]

Lol @ those that r makin this such a big deal.

[Airhead767]

Ok then explain to me why on almost every clip there was a foul called YOU know nothing about basketball dumb bitch

[KingKB24z]

how is this unnatural. r you feel that you were foulded and you overexagerate it, so taht the ref will call it. Or he felt some sort of contact and his arms flailed in an attempt to balance himself or to alert the ref

[raffyley03]

he's ryt dude, otherwise there'd be a whole lot of contact from sneaky players and the ref wont even notice

[omar7987]

he is just drawin da foul dats not unnatural for a talented player like kobe

[Airhead767]

fuckin idiot hes acting for the foul dumb bitch

[r0binzero]

yo dumbass everyoen does that its nothing illegal sometimes ref don't catch the real foul so you flop it flail your arms you know nothign about basketball

[naruto121897]

none of those are unnatural...cause he made them...

[passionkev01]

lolz no he is perfect form, he is just acting for the fouls

[reflex284]

kobe is a legend of our basketball days

[gesiz22]

i thought pierce and rondo flopped badly

[Matnetic]

LOL this is not an unatural move most of these are because he was fouled either pushed or someone put there knee in his back so he's just trying to keep his balance without falling very simple lol!@

[heatballin]

Point of the video iz dat Kobe just Shits on people diz is the game where he dropped 81

[Forza21Nadal]

gay video

[tayute]

Dude... Michael MADE today's basketball... moron...

[kevodevil]

no..o_o

[kububeach]

what's the point of this video actually?

[thakid27]

kobe is TOO good... it's gotten to a point where people on youtube label his scoring tactics as suspension worthy... just stop it...

[wolf23447]

That was a perfect follow through he held his arm straight for a half a second. Then he got hit. Learn to shoot a basketball before you criticize.

[soowoopdat410]

you're a fuckin joke kid. He is sliding through contact. Learn the game before you start hating on LEGENDS>.

[crossbones120]

he' just following through with the contact to avoid injury

[NJCOMPANY]

Hey, i as a player know that making those awkward shooting movements are NOT easy to make without anyone gaurding you. So it is amazing that he can do this and finish the unorthodox shots!

!!!LAKERS 2009 CHAMPS!!! Kobe Bryant Finals M.V.P.

[eminemrap2010]

its called skill kobe has it and use it

[xRyAnLA24]

its called drawing the foul and selling the play

[cool193]

Well, it's a bit dramatic, but that's what players like him are supposed to do, draw fouls and get the extra shot, one way or the other.

[KB24LABM]

looks like half were fouls, and the other half was acting.

[jerk9999]

look like he got fouled to me

[cb4allstar4]

it's good to see a laker fan can admit something

[roliax]

any good nba player should know how to play the rules to a certain degree...even if that means some acting. as long as it's not at the level of varejao or brad miller

[peasinacan]

...go acting..u really kno the game (seriously)

[LA2002asterisk]

In game 6, 2002 the refs gave Kobe the calls even without the arm flailing.

[angelloksGST]

haha !! "ir raped your mom..." that was hilarious !!!

[DoctorDoubleX]

Like everyone flails their arms , lol

its called selling the foul .

[richie2528]

hmmm... why dont you select 6 plays where Lebron or Wade does something you don't like. then post it. like you did with kobe. its ok to hate. the top gun always gets hated on. like when someone becomes president. its normal.

[kentotzz]

wade got more assist ,reb,blks,stls and points than kobe,... kobe surrounded by great players to back him up... and a great coach... wade is surrounded by rookies ..kobe is sitting with 3 rings with shaq on his prime..wade has 1 ring with old shaq old payton and old walker..all kobe care about is his points.. if the lakers wins a title this year its bcoz of gasol..

oh yeah.. i forgot.. hes a rapist..hahaha

[jazza32]

u know so little about basketball its amazing

[kentotzz]

yeah kobe is a rapist.. i know that

[kentotzz]

wade is shooting guard .. hes better rebounder . steal n blocks than kobe ..ohh dont forget assist.. .. kobe is ballhoggers

[DoctorDoubleX]

kobe gets at least 4 assists per game. he just got 8 in the last game.

[phx13balla]

thats actually not alot for a point guard look at nash and paul. avg about 13-13 a game. the point af a point guard is to make plays and your team into the game not just scoring 40 points a game. he did get better with assists and will continue to get better

[vballlover2008]

Okay ummmm, thats why we beat the nuggets with everyone participating, hate on a bad team then maybe it would be worth your while!!!

[kentotzz]

yes your right .. everyone is participating... including the referee,,rockets can easily beat LA if the ref is consistent.. the ref, took over game 1 and 5 vs denver..

LA will win this year coz they are big market..

[swmin4]

well, you gotta use ur brain to play sports not only the contact physically. This is rather "smart" play then "pussy and stupid" play.

[danny270]

Finally, someone that gets it. As Kobe said before, "I'll do anything to win". The reason it's smart is because the Refs fall for it. It's also a way to get the foul. I personally do this when I drive because theres nothing wrong with wanting more chances.

[cphil]

yep, jus bout every good scorer does this.... Via weakass C. Billups, hittin the corner three and one lastnite. Luckily, they got the best closer in the league, 24!

[kentotzz]

he gets all the call... always.. hes in L.A .. sterns likes big market like LA everytime someone plays good deffense on him, he will act mad, look on ref and put his hands up... same thing to lebron .coz stern wants kobe lebron in finals

[NinjaLikeTeaBagger]

Reggie Miller used to kick his feet out to get a foul.

Which is ALSO an unnatural move.

I don't ever see you cry babies bitch over that.

[TimothyIsHereSoHeLL0]

TAke this vid down you fucking Kobe hater

[Drezey818]

he looks like hes doing a magic trick or something lmao like KABLAM!

[Level7even]

lol

[kingskillz14]

thats when kobe scored 81 . i dnt see lebron doing dat.

[Skilllzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

I didn't see MJ do that., but he's still blows Kobe out of the water.

[Banewillow]

retarded video omg

dude he's just trying to get his balance...

if u jump in the air

and I happen to be there and touch you or push you if u want

u wont flail your arms to get balance?

surely u flail your arms then quickly put your arms downwards incase u land on your nerdy ass

cmon man dont b bitchin about kobe

u are obviously a kobe hater!

probably off debating with a buddy to see who gets more views and ratings

suck a cock! yours maybe

[ETBzocka]

dog im either a kobe hater nor lover, and he is simply trying to keep balance^^

[humdinger77]

I would agree with you on a couple, but like that first one, he was not trying to keep his balance at all.

[ETBzocka]

i think so because chris pushes him in his back

[Otake321]

Im a kobe fan, but whats unnatural about this...dwayne wade has more crazy looking shots on a consistent basis..doesnt he???

[DDDEEE6]

u act like kobe is the only one in the league that does this..... try watching other superstars in the league like Lebron... i was watching him yesterday and he did it a couple of times

[tribadist]

he's not going to get suspended because it's not illegal. you're taught as a shooter to flail ur arms like that sometimes to draw a foul or make it appear as if there's a foul. it's like in football when the kicker leaves his foot up longer so the defense can run into it

[senas8]

yeah seems like a balance issue.

[Adamantinia]

kobe's multiple injuries and fouls, aside from those, kobe has one of the nicest shootin form in the league

[0011philboy]

just shut up

[Kobeownzu81]

u dont need to be the mvp when ur on the mvt most valuable team and future champions. in future which is this year. go lakers

[whowebe43]

kobe is god

[kareem465]

is vido suck

[sunneeboyy]

this video is stupid. He did that because either a) he was fouled. or b) off balanced.

[EleosThese123]

KOBE IS THE BEST PLAYER THIS TIME!!!

[1andonlynathan]

that is ballshit everyon saying that lebron is a better player

kobe scores more points per game and only get like 0.6 assists less than lebron per game

[niXourbis]

actually this year lebron is scoring more per game....and more assists and rebounds...lol, but i like kobes shot more

[klothosakajupe]

thats because Lebron is the Cavs

Kobe used to do that for the lakers but now has 4 ppl than can score around him

[niXourbis]

lol good point =p

[kentotzz]

4ppl can score arround him.. and still a ballhog..05 lakers ,, kobe is the only player who can score but did not make it on a first round,

[1nf3rnus0153]

Lebron plays more minutes than kobe...

[lilratt723]

thas becasue lebron has to play more than koby for his team to be good

[1nf3rnus0153]

that's why he has more stats, cuz he plays more minutes...!

[nemac23]

2008 regular season stats: Kobe - 36.1mpg. Lebron - 37.7mpg.

Do you really think those extra 96 seconds per game that Lebron got are what made him a better player, passer, rebounder, teammate and a more valuable player this year than Kobe?? Yep you're right. That's all he needed. 96 seconds.

[1nf3rnus0153]

yes..LOL besides...Lebron has the ball MOST OF THE TIME...lakers offense requires them to move the ball around...(everybody has to touch the ball)

[apoll1212]

Umm cause theres really not any other good shooters besides mo williams and he rocks and doesnt really miss ..oh ya lakers lost today hahahahahhaha sorry ass lakers

[1nf3rnus0153]

umm ok... really funny...

anyways... there aren't any good shooters besides mo williams? psh...almost all of his teammates are catch n shoot guys...and they CAN shoot..

[NinjaLikeTeaBagger]

There are plenty of good shooters on the Cavs.

Hell, even Ilgalskis can step out and pop.

Kobe would have just as many assists as Lebron if he were on the Cavs. But, he's on the Lakers and the triangle works differently. In the triangle, the guy that gets the assist isn't the guy who made the play.

[rommelojello]

uhm, haha? i think the cavs lost tonight? James went cold.. and i'm not talking in the freezer cold.. that guy went to the same place Captain Kirk went to in Star Trek. That's how cold he was.. Tonight, James couldnt hit a jumper if it was for an NBA playoff game. OH wait. IT WAS FOR ONE!

[bigmickey737]

STOP HATING

[Seed1992]

hahahahha wtf???????? u suck man. u really suck. lebron has 2.4 assists more than kobe per game and 1.3 more points than kobe per game. u drive me crazy man u suck. LBJ 4 MVP!!!

[KendallT20]

that wat makes kobe..kobe!

[everlast3000]

the best part of this clip were the laker girls

[LEOGETZZ]

so he flails his arms around like that to get like an and1 or something?

[kizziz]

he is a ball hogger but he can deliver

[MadeFromQueensRapper]

Dude,im tired of people saying hes a damn ballhog he has been a ballhog since the 06 season so get of his dick hater.

[yaytezzybear]

Just a bad habit

[anthony28lakers]

is this the game when he scored 81 points

[jrlebron23]

no ....

[hockeyowns28]

none of these are that bad

[heatbucspies55]

Thank you so much . Someone had to say that. My friends keep trying to convince me nash is better, and they talk like passing and scoring is the whole game. And even if it was, Nash and kidd are still close, and J Kidd kills Nash in D and rebounds, and a lot of things that don;t show up on stats.

[brooklypark]

best player in the world!

[Musicalsrockmysocks]

I may despise Kobe, but he knows how to get things done. He can get a load of points, and he can fake a call.

[andron333]

save your despise for murderers, child molesters, wall street criminals and religious sanctimony. This man is just a basketball player, and if people hate him for how he plays a GAME, they have a problem with themselves.

[Musicalsrockmysocks]

no, I don't hate his game, I hate the way he acts. Besides him being accused of rape doesn't help my opinion of him either. I don't despise him... strong word.

[SafaFenoner]

You forgot "rapists"; was this intentional? lol...

[shadowchicken]

rofl Kobe is a RAPEST! But no, i hate him too but he is a good player, No kobe is a great individual player LeBron is a better team player....and one can't win a ring by himself...

[andron333]

that was never proven, so dont assume. Just look at the Duke Lacrosse players, public opinion convicted them before it became known that the woman was full of it. And then the prosecutor got his license taken away.

[daveousz]

what the fuck are you talking about? talk straight homie.

[K24Productions]

well, then well just have to see, because obviously either your a hater or you haven't seen kobe play since the 2005 season, because he's playing style has changed. He is more of a team player then lebron, the only reason why lebron get's more assists is because they don't play the triangle defense.

[12PokerKing12]

pure hollywood, maybe he needs a career change

[mvpguru]

lol the last one they didnt even call a foul y is it on there?

[SiLeNtBuTd34dLy]

the cheerleaders are ugly like fuckkk

[imsljr420]

hey wheres the sound?

[jermaineonealnumber7]

We should all thank Reggie for starting this.

Scoring instinct combined with smarts.

That's how you get to the line.

[BSUOSUlover]

just a horrible video. He didnt even fall over or anything on any of these. And he was actually fouled on a couple

[iwatchvidsandahalf]

There are different version of this, pretty much every person that has a shot does it. You can flail your arms stick your feet out, and a lot more, and ive seen LeBron do it.

And you make no since LakersRules24...If you like Kobe and the Lakers, why are you degrading him??

Retard

[dodurus]

he does 5 steps...and i noticed alot of nba players do it

[rhcp824]

only the first and second one show that he even comes close to doing that.the one layup he got nailed so not a great video showing that

[Josefsing]

That is how Kobe gets a lot of his called by flailing his arms around, I do respect that LeBron usually tries to score even after being fouled - rather than flopping like kobe or wade

[rSeAvEy95]

he only did it on purpose in the raptors clip

[Alu35]

i don't care. he still got the point.

[krazeeazfuq]

so fuckin wat he still made every shot fucker

[popeye135]

SHAME on you Kobe!!!!!!!

[xxspydaman13xx]

i bet the dude that made this vid is one of those bitch niggas that thinks lebron is beeter then kobe

[UnstopableDunker]

and i bet hes right

[801trojan]

he flails his arm to regain balance, because he jumps so high to score on all u niggas!!!!hAhA

[TheProtegeMusic]

Hes a good basketball player even without those "flails" but what a sneaky fuck!

[mickee06]

he did this when he played against the cavaliers but heused he feet when mo williams stripped the ball from him kobe kicked him in the face i think on purpose

[IamHaddy]

seizures

[y2jfanlol]

Wanna know what flops? Fishes. :D

[ace1354]

your a dumbass its smart to do that cause you can get more points if you know you will make the shot and get the foul

[beautravismoroney]

kobe dives more than a soccer player. Now thats the truth!

[Vemwow]

Wanna see a flop, look up Manu or Horry, now those are floppers

[TecumsehIsGod]

haha. u know who flails his arms alot?

jim carrey

[xmailmanbiterx]

i dont know why but this comment made me laugh out loud =)

[nabecaydim]

girls were worth wasting these seconds

[pctucsondv]

easy there kicks......kobe ain't a flopper

[kicks111690]

I hate when people flop, I never do. I will say it's clever strategy, but it's pussy that people don't have confidence in their shot without knowing they'll get a foul if they miss.

[guywhoflys1]

that is called good basketball playing. being able to draw a foul

[kwk610]

i do that in my leauge.

[wifey4lifey101]

i do that lol

its good stragey so the referees will think you got hit or something and will call the foul

lmao i always over exagerate my foul and like give a little WOAHH when they touch me lol and i fall, i get the foul yayay hah!

[Sk8ersRule82]

kobe traveled.

[miXn]

hm, you don't have to call a foul for that, but, it's ok to do it .. especially when somebody acts like kobe did :)

[keemer08]

EVERYBODY DOES THAT. not just kobe. kobe is just the best at it lol

[sprtzfan17]

does he still do that?

cuz i noticed that all of these was when had number 24

[sprtzfan17]

8* my bad

[srincreible81]

he still has number 24 idiot

[sprtzfan17]

dumbshit i was asking if he still flops like this

everything in the video was of him wearing the jersey number 8

which obviously shows its in the PAST
