Kobe Bryant 13 points 5 assists vs Nuggets 2003-04 *Game Winner
Спорт
December 19th, 2003
Staples Center
Los Angeles, CA
Boxscore: www.basketball-reference.com/b...
Statline: 13 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 5-14 FG, 3-4 FT, game winning fadeaway over Jon Barry
It was one very long particular day for Kobe Bryant. Over the summer of 2003, Bryant had been charged with rape in Colorado. Bryant's public image of being the league's posterboy had all but evaporated into an image of an aldulterer rapist which still holds true to this day. On December 19th, 2003, Bryant woke up at 4:30 AM for a flight to Eagles, Colorado and a full day in court. He effortlessly transitioned from court to court in Staples Center in time for the game against the Denver Nuggets. Bryant would come off the bench in the 2nd quarter and chip in 5 dimes in the quarter alone. He would then go on to hit the very famous game winning buzzer beating jumpshot over Jon Barry to cap off a long day.

This is such a dramatic moment. If some of you didn't know, SLAM magazine published a cover story for Kobe titled: Kobe Bryant- Season on the Brink. But it wasn't only his season, it was his career. All of the greatness that we've seen since that summer was at risk, and the fact that he dealt with that risk and could still put on a show is nothing short of ludicrous. It's unfathomable. I can't even begin to comprehend the drama, the high pressure that he was dealing with. Crazy. Go LAKERS!

I remember this game, I was watching this with my friend and we both yelled when he made that! Kobe is sick, who else can come off the plane and make a game-winner at the buzzer?

one of Kobe's forgotten buzzer beaters. Thanks for putting this up

Mental toughness. To play in one court for his freedom and a basketball court for his team. All the while trying to keep his young family intact. My inspiration for sure
who is here after watching Carmelo's tiktok/IG/facebook short video about this game.

man i miss the none PC days. Its time for a come back
Mookie Blaylock was a really good player and a hell of an on ball defender.
My hero and biggest inspiration! Mamba Forever
REST EASY KOBE
I’ll never forget this game. That year I fell in love with the game of basketball. With Melo Lebron Dwade & all them dudes I was hooked. The Nuggets were actually good that year and I already knew about the Lakers so this was a crucial game at that time. Kobe broke my heart for the first time this game. He’s my favorite player of all time but I hated him when he played against my Nuggets. And dude always had it out for us too lol
3:40 Paul McDonald wasn’t ready 😅😅😅😅
No matter the time, the place, the situation; its all about the #MambaMentality - heaven is a better place now #thankyoukobe #kobe #kobebryant #kb8 #kb24 #kobesystem #BlackMamba #vino #goat #mambaout
Yeah I shed a tear on this way back when. Talk about poetic justice.
Yeah, me too I was said when they announced his departure. Great writer.
damn, look how young melo was... his rookie season..
Shaq barely reacted or even wanted to look at Kobe after that shot. The peak of the beef between them

And why was kobe late for this game ??
nice.
Carmelo Anthony physical peak - 2004.
nice
if this "Mookie Blaylock" guy was better than Kobe, people would have heard of him
lmao at 1:43 'I think LeBron James is naturally a PG, who wants to look to pass'
they fired him because they said the ratings for laker games had gone down... thats bs because the only reason ratings were down was because they went 37-45 that year... joel meyers is so boring i miss paul sunderland
Kobe*
LMAO Jon Barry learn to stop biting on pump fakes before you run your mouth on espn

I am a fan of both Kobe and LeBron, but grow up, what you just said paints you as an infant.
LOL 3:46
Flew in from Denver to play against Denver
FIRST!!!
Lebron is definitely a choke artist, and to use the overly used reason of Lebrons inferiority, Kobe has how many rings? How many does Lebron have? Here's a better question though..................how many play off appearances does Lebron have?
