Kobe from 2003 to 2007 was arguably the greatest scorer in NBA history.

LeBron plays like crap, and complains about the the "sleeves" on the jersey. Kobe just comes out, kicks T-Mac's butt, and leads his team to victory with "sleeves" on. KOBE BRYANT, THE GREATEST EVER!

It was this game where we found Tmac is elite but Kobe was another level beyond that

this was when kobe could lock down any player in the league, and take over the game at any point (he can still do both, but not at the same time), and this was when t-mac was the 2nd best at taking over the game, and still a great defender. I don't understand all the hate on t-mac

He locked T-Mac up in the 4th and scored at will.Kobe is an amazing offensive player.

This is fucking awesome to watch! The two best players on their respected teams guarding one another. In the end, Kobe was just too much defensively, and too clutch.

This was the game kobe showed mcgrady the difference between the two of them.

The mindest is the difference

Again this was my favorite Kobe game obviously he had so many great games,but Tracy was lighting the Lakers up 21 pts at half Kobe 1 pt. Second half Kobe got hot himself,he was a better defender,year older and one of the few who could match Tmac in scoring he finished 38 pts,Tmac 37 pts. Kobe stood up to Tmac and won this great game.

And people say Kobe cant play D! He had T-mac in a damn seatbelt!

@bscottdp Did you just see the video? Kobe kept hitting shots that were contested with hands all in his face. He brought his team back being down by 20. All those shots Kobe hit were just incredible

Kobe Bryant:To be able to drop big numbers in his prime and when he is old is unbelieveable. Tmac:was unbelieveable in his prime but what about when he got older. WASHED UP

+Rusty Shackleford Kobe has gotten injured basically every year in his career.

I was there that night, Kobe had 1 point in the first half and went crazy! We was crushed for a second when T-Mac made that potential game-winner that got wiped off. Good times!

Dre Allen Lakers da best when I first saw this I thought it was good

THIS GAME personifies how great Kobe is...not only does HE have to guard the BEST player on the other team but also comes up in the clutch on both D and Offense, especially late in the game. I doubt Lebrick or Wade would be checking PRIME T-MAC the way kobe did when it counted

To those who say LeBron is better lol please. In his whole career he's never had a game like this and all while being guarded by an equally good player...KB24 the last of the greats.

Yea, I want a replay of McGrady's final shot because it looks good every time I rewatched the play.

Nobody better than Kobe in playing trough the pain.

kobe was a great defender in his prime

he is one of the greatest defender of all time, people sleeps on his defense as he is tied the most nba defense selection all time with gary payton, mj, and kevin garnett at 9, 12 in total in his career

It's amazing how Kobe and T-mac were both super talented and considered equals at that time. Yet today, Kobe is a 5x champion and basketball legend whereas McGrady has fallen off completely. This shows talent isn't everything. Kobe's drive and work ethic makes him far superior to T-mac.

kobe took over the game, he is the man, that was jordaness.

Kobe's an amazing offensive player,but he also put the clamps on T-Mac in the 4th.

@MisSeductive Couldn't have said it better myself. It's his insane work ethic that elevates him above his peers.

REMARKABLE THATS WHAT KOBE WAS THEN AND STILL IS

damn kobe taking over defensively and offensively. if only dwight and kobe teamed up when kobe was in his prime. rings on rings on rings!

man this is so intense between two titans! just like MJ vs Miller in the playoff series!

damm kobe was just entering his prime here,, i used to see this shit everyday from him, still do but not like he used to cuz hes older now..its still kobe tho

t-mac still got some tough shots off though. 2 beasts going at it

This game in youtube was very unorganized. Nice Upload.

2:09 so smooth!😍😍😍

nice video~

@whiteflash1323 what 2 years are you talking about? Phil Jackson just retired as of recent and I'm certain that they ran the triangle the entire time he was coaching.

Hahahah. You can hear the fan at 9:03 say "GOT HIM" lmao

It was never close. McGrady played in a traditional NBA offense with iso's, p'n'r's, curl screens, etc... and had a few good scoring seasons. Bryant played the majority of his career in the triangle [which is predicated on high post passing and ball movement] and still dominated. The 2 years he played without the triangle, he went on the greatest scoring tear in the modern era. If he'd have played his entire career in traditional sets he'd have averaged 35 for his career.

I'm not a big Kobe fan but he snaped this game

Best game I ever seen

WOW, i love the play by play man. Great flow he has. Anyone know his name?

That Bankshot Almost Buzzer Beater by McGrady was so close

that boy does not miss

Did they show a replay during the game? Did they even review it?

i love watching tupac play

Most of Kobe's point comes from (now and then) Isolations or pick and rolls, no matter what kind of offensive system they have. He and T-Mac used to score the same way, the same kind of baskets. McGrady just don't give a shit about making 80 points games, and that's why Kobe's better. But McGrady was better all-around, that's why he definitely is in the discussion.

Great defense by the ref on T-mac's game winner shot.

Mamba never out.

This game reminds me of why I didn't totally agree with LBJ going to Miami; these two players brought the best out of each other. It reminds me of the days of Magic vs. Bird, Wilt vs. Russell (even though Russell had a dream team you get my gist), and Jordan vs. the entire Piston's team. Now the top 10 players play on two teams. This Super Alliance, Megatron era is partial to our current lockout. Where is our HEART YOUNG MONEY.

Jordan is better than Kobe,it's just disrespectful to say that Kobe is better.I'm a HUGH Kobe fan,but reality is MJ's the GOAT hands down.Kobe's the 2nd greatest player ever and thats not a bad thing considering who's 1st.

how much was his weight? (in kg. :P)

@Curtis7414 I think he means that he's even better now than before, yet they were saying he was the best.

Damn T Mac was shitting on Rick Fox, Kobe got on him a lock his ass up lol. Kobes on ball defense was all time great in his prime

@SparksBY1992 yeah man if it was anywhere but staple that would be a buzzer beater.......

Please note, who is taking over the game in the 4th quarter. It is certainly not the overweight giant in the middle. Shaq was the backbone, but Bryant made them perennial winners. Black Mamba forever.

@bscottdp uh shaq has played with all star perimeter players before

Shane Battier interview brought me here lol

fit on the team, chemistry matters

Says you a basketball "fan" that dictates 3 match officials with a video replay was wrong?

Damn I miss T-Mac

@reeeechardxx idk but i always see her too. her and sex machine from dusk till dawn are at nearly every game lol

T-mac wasn't ready for the kobe show.

To those saying that lebron would win with gasol/bynum/odom. Putting great players together doesn't automatically mean ring. One of the best examples, this Laker team in '03-'04. Bron simply wouldn't fit in with gasol, bynum, and odom. Those 3 are monsters in paint. What does Bron like to do? DRIVE INTO THE PAINT. When you have 2 other bigs on the team that stay down there, that will just create traffic for Lebron. Also, the way Bron plays is a waste of Gasol's passing talent.damncharacterlimit

Shit that was great defense by Kobe !

T Mac actual hit the game winner ,, only if they had instant reply

Can he do it with a ring on his finger?

I think Tmac was as good as Kobe or even better but intensity is the difference. Kobe's focus on the games and his aggressiveness are among the best.

actually, he was. 3 rings to Macs 0. Tmac was fantastic, but he was very unlucky... and that is just sad

02-03 kobe destroys mcgrady considering he's playing with shaq yet still got 30-7-6

He also had better individual seasons than those guys when he got his chance to be a one man show. Nobody wins by themselves at the end of the day T-mac got his chance when he went to Houston those were great teams especially on defense yet the only time they got passed the first round was when he wasn't playing saids alot.

This is a bad example of kobe vs t mac because it shows kobe at his absolute best and mcgrady having a normal or slightly off game in their primes 01-06 kobes was linger but between these years they were very clise in terms of talent skill

he retired 2 years ago...

if they had high tech cameras to show replay i guarentee mcgrady wud have got that by a mili second

@LiLSiCk916 good shit hommie. ppl dont understand or dont want to understand or just a str8 hater when it comes to how good kobe was. u also cant blame the haters lol cause lakers have taken half of the nba titles since 2000..

Classic Kobe....I dont know why anyone mentions Lebron is the same paragraph. Kobe simply will not lose. He hates to lose ... Nice video

That wasn't late going in. I paused at 0:01 and Tracy was off the ground and ball was on his fingertips. That game should have been over.

Tmac was a fucking killer, sad to see him go.

T Mac!!!!!!!

Ranking players is stupid. It should never be about whos top 5 or top 20 because their really isnt a consistent formula for that. All I know is that we have seen great players who stand above the rest. And Mr. Bryant is one of them

call me collect, if you need to.....classic

kobe is too clutch

who's that?

"That's pretty good defence from a guy with only one arm" Lol...

His team did a better job of spacing than tmacs. look at the shots tmac constantly had some1 on him. kobe had some open looks and the fouls were in the lakers favor this game. Still good D tho

T MAC is the only guy i could see going one on one wit kobe when both of them in they prime....but kobe will win but TMAC would give him a little run

hey! come to think of it. . lebron is 6'8, 113.4kg., 27 y/o while kobe 6'6, 93kg, 33y/o. . Lebron is taller, bigger, heavier, and younger than kobe. . . why compare??

10:15 it was to late his fingers was on the ball still

lmao 9:10 stu lance is too funny

"I need to go to the brake shop and get my brakes worked on." Foreal, announcer?

hi

A great evening would have been spoiled if that T Mac heave at the end would have counted 0_0

Omg no other player from orlando dare to shot the ball. Thats why they din't pass the firt round of playoff the team consist in 5 players not 1

are you crazy? how come shaq never won anything without kobe on the lakers? how come he did not get his ring when kobe is still in his rookie year? and check who he is playing with those years.

@cbo1360 people that say that LBJ is better than kobe are very wrong. kobe is very ahead of lebron. also kobe is a 2 time finals and season mvp and has 5 rings. lebron? regular mvp and an uncrowned king. so kobe present, Dwade or lebron next

When i die I'm going to ask god who the best player in basketball history was and I hope he has the answer.

YMCA!

I miss the T-Mac vs Kobe Era... The Lebron vs Kobe is just too obvious.

they both is my favorite players.......but kobe is better

Treu but the Heat had a great bench and plus back then The Lakers played better teams that actually played great D and had superior offense. That Heat team that won in 06 couldnt beat the Spurs that year...Duncan stays healthy Spurs win it and 3 peat. If Shaq was always so dominate how come he didnt win with Penny and the boys in Orlando? Give Kobe his credit he balled for the lakeshow when Shaq went out

sooo .. wtf happend with this team ? Karl Malone, Shaq, Kobe, and GP ??

oh c'mon Tracy got All-Star-caliber players like Lue, Gooden, Declerq and Bogans lol

Pause at 10:20

Focus on the Stats! In this game i think TMC was better!

@waihong001 thats what i thought

what...how can those players even compare to the others lol
