i been telling ppl on social media...if kobe had even one all star teammate during this post shaq stretch from 2004-05 to 2006-07 he would have won at least two more championships EASY and certainly made some deep playoff runs. the Lakers really screwed him over for those 3 seasons by not getting him at least a little help.

Or if they didn’t trade Shaq away for shit (minus Lamar Odom) it’s worse cause the Laker is one of the biggest franchises like with lebron in cleaveland you can excuse the lack of help cause the front office but Lakers?

I only saw Kobe once in my lifetime. It was on April 3, 2001 at Utah. The beginning of the historic 12 game ROAD winning streak (regular season including playoffs as well). They lifted the NBA trophy by not losing a single road game (April, May and June months). No other NBA team has ever done that including being undefeated on the road during the playoffs while lifting the NBA trophy. The Lakers didn't even had a 60 win season that year.

Kobe was great, and this was a great run. Never will be another. R.I.P. Kobe Bryant #8 #24 R.I.P. GiGi #2 Black Mamba Gone, but never forgotten

I still remember that month of January of '06 like yesterday being a die hard Spurs fan and the nba in general. I couldn't believe my eye's seeing Kobes 81 point score total in the bottom graphic banner while watching nba tv highlights on dish network....than i saw a repeat of the game they had stuck on nba tv all day. I still have it. I still remember fred carter saying it was better than wilts hundred because Kobes was mostly outside shots. Idk about that. But i knew than I had witnessed history....true story new orleans hornets during that time lossed to my Spurs 115-68 or something ridiculous and sean elloit had to point the fact Kobe outscored the hornets 68 points with his 81 all by himself...lol.

I can recall another Spurs vs Lakers game that same season. I had recorded. Now, the first 3 quarters are the entire Spurs team hitting most of thier shots, in a 20 point plus blowout.. until Kobe caught fire out of nowhere....it was absolutely incredible...once again. You can see Kobe single handed devour this 25 point plus lead with three's. He must of hit like 6 of 8 maybe more, All the way back until the single digits....it was something I've never seen before..he did something similar In 2003 game five semi finals also. He'd nearly brought his team back to win all by himself. If it wasn't for Michael Finley hitting a dagger shot to finally finish them off. It was absolutely incredible. Kobes offensive game that season. Was unlike anything I've ever seen before since.

Steve Nash definitely stole that last mvp from Kobe 😂😂

I love that commercial the first time I ever saw that commercial I was rolling 😂😂

I hated Kobe before. He was cocky as hell. I was a kid then and a Kings fan XD. Then you keep watching and realize there are other players you liked who were cocky too but not even half as good. Kobe's been one of my favorite players ever since. He was just too good.

To add he was also 1st team defense while doing this too.

Don’t forget.. apart from his offensive prowess, Kobe also likes to guard the best player on the opposing team. Like bro was really out there guarding Dwade, Carmelo, tmac, Lebron, Derrick rose 😂. Wish there were more players like that. It gives the fans what they want.. the best guarding the best and battling it out.

Top 5 player ever

people don't really credit kobe for being a pioneer of how we approach the 3 ball in the modern nba. Man was pulling contested threes from range over everyone, pulling threes on transition

An incredible artist , so much sophistication and beauty in his game , it’s not what he did that was amazing , it’s how he did it and he did it better than most who have ever played the game.

He did this while teams actually played defense unlike today

That clip from the beginning with Jalen proves that Kobe was great at whatever he put his mind to.

The greatest #13 overall pick of all time having an amazing 13 game stretch in the month of January.. Disney couldn't write a better script lol I was 16 at the time and used to stay up late in the east coast to watch every national televised Lakers game lol what a time to be alive 💯

Insane how folks say he had a lot of wasted unnecessary movement. Nope, he picked his spots and pulled the trigger, no matter the result.

Kobe may not be the goat, but I think he is universally the most respected NBA player in history. There is still beef between Michael Jordan and other players in his generation but you couldn't stop Kobe. Players may have won against him but the dude made sure he won the war.

Because he isn’t

This month was still squarely during the "dead ball" era of the NBA. When paints were clogged, 24-seconds clocks mattered (lol). Teams were still averaging points in the low 90s. Seeing some of these final scores in double digits while Kobe was putting up these ridiculous numbers was the most impressive. This was before the "pace" and "3pt or layup" era of the NBA. Imagine what he'd do in today's floor "spacing" . Damn.

people try to invalidate everything he did because of an extra 1-3 misses per game compared to jordan's FG% as if kobe wasn't facing the exact defenses teams had been working on since Jordan to stop that type of player. Kobe had it way tougher yet still put up all time numbers
