His midrange game was simply perfect

I really could make this argument for his whole career but just to speak on this season itself, this is one of the greatest individual seasons in NBA history when put in proper perspective. - Being 33-34 with the accumulated wear and tear he was fighting through - The league killing the CP3 trade - An already failing experiment of Dwight, Nash & D'Antoni - Jim Buss being an idiot in every sense, proven by the aforementioned moves he made that didn't complement Kobe's game at all - Finally, the way the game was starting to transition to what it is now and Kobe finding his way to be impactful within it He persevered through way more than most even realize, largely because ppl only look at the final outcome and ignore the context of situations.

The greatest player I’ve even watched. I’ll never be as hyped for a team or a player as I was watching a Kobe lakers team. Constantly at the edge of my seat.

Kobe's offensive arsenal and skill were on full display... it's a shame that he suffered that career-ending Achilles injury, there's no doubt in my mind that he would be the NBA's all-time leading scorer right now. At that time, the league had begun transitioning to an era of athleticism and youth, but Kobe had the ability to adapt his game and he still put on a show. I have NEVER seen a player excite an away crowd as Kobe did... he had the fans going NUTS in Atlanta and that was a testament to his style of play. Kobe may have been known for his mastery of the midrange, but he could SHOOT... he had range. After his Achilles injury, he adjusted his game to the perimeter since his mobility was limited and his percentage may not have been great, but if he played in today's league, I believe he would fit right in because he was such a high-volume shooter. The most complete player in the game, his ONLY flaw was his inefficiency of shot selection, but there's no other player who can make the degree of difficulty of shots that he did and that's what made him lethal.

People are gonna complain you named it the “last great season” but let’s face it, this really was the last amazing season of his career. No disrespect to Kobe at all but age takes away every career. We will love Kobe forever and know he is a legend no matter what but those few years was his retirement journey to let everyone ease into a NBA without him. Plus the teams he had weren’t made to go far into the playoffs. Another great video man keep them coming 🔥👍🔥 Rest is paradise Kobe Bean Bryant ❤️

@@jetbryantgmbm kobe is not the greatest dunker ever lmao. Vince carter is and even Kobe said that as well. His bounce was definitely starting to leave a lilbit cuz in 00 01 he was soaring over people

Never get tired of his 2012-13 highlights thank you

It’s crazy the 2012 olympics and 2013 season is my fav version of Kobe. He had the one arm sleeve on the right arm going. He had the swagger on the court and his IQ just outing everyone else. He still had a bounce and could slam on folks but mostly at this point used his footwork and shooting to score. A lot like MJ his last couple of years with the Bulls. Sad that towards the end of that season he got injured carrying that poorly made team.

Kobes footwork &defense are so underrated it’s ridiculous rip mamba one of the greatest to ever do it man

It’s hard watching this man 💔 this shit fell like yesterday and we still have to live with the fact this man gone 😣

Remember this run like it was yesterday, how time flies Rest in Paradise Mamba #MambaForever

Last great year of my life, tbh.Wish i could go back to that year. Kids, appreciate your years while you can.

It was amazing to watch Kobe this year. Wasn't young but still dominate off skill, footwork, head fakes and guile. Literally willed that Lakers team to a playoff spot until his body broke down

He works so hard every single play man

kobe had 99 iq this year everything he did was so crafty even the way he drives in on people

No Disrespect But Every Season Kobe Was In Was A Goat Season. RIP THE GOAT #8 #24

Still can't believe he's gone 💔. One of the greatest basketball players the world will ever see. Mamba forever 🐐 .

He was in really good shape. in the off-season of 2011-2012, he went to Germany and received surgery. Then in the next 2 years he played in a very high level, like 80% of 07 season

Here’s what makes this all the more confusing. He actually had the procedure in Germany in the summer of 2011. And I remember the season after 11-12, I was worried cuz he kind of looked like he lost a step. But 12-13 he was moving like he hadn’t since maybe 2007. HOW? What? I’m confused cuz this had never happened with any other play. 2010-2012 Kobe was clearly slowing down. What happened in the summer of 12?

Man, I would love to have his energy. His ability to turn and make those sudden stop and elevate the ball, oh man I love to enable to do that. Kobe the most amazing player, Legendary, Visionary, MVP, Goat of all time. Thanks, again MaxaMillion711 for sharing all these Kobe's babies with us. We appreciate it.

Everytime I watch Kobe it gives me chills, he made the game look effortless. RIP Black Mamba

I strongly believe if Kobe didn't get hurt, they would've had a shot at upsetting the Spurs in that 2013 1st round

The reverse layup he did was absolutely ridiculous and hard to comprehend in person. I hope it’s in this highlight reel.

Wow, almost a year later, my heart still sinks a little whenever I see or hear something about Kobe Bryant. I still can't believe this man gone. Gone, but never, ever forgotten.

breaks my heart every time I watch him

Bro that Toronto game was just ridiculous, 4 game winners in one game. How people can watch this and not put him in their top 5 i’ll never understand

Man the first 10 mins feel like a And 1 mix tape he doing it all 8️⃣🐐2️⃣4️⃣

It's crazy how explosive he was during this season. The injury really did break him

A university of basketball skill and knowledge at this stage in his career. legend

02-03 was his best season and this season was very underrated.

This one right here is special.

One of my favorite Kobe’s season! RIP

He shoulda won MVP this season no team needed a plyer as bad as the lakers need kobe

I can watch Kobe play all day.

Idk what to say Kobe , that 2013 season blew us all away that was our one last ride in full form thank you For all the memories Mamba RIP we love you.

Damn I watched that game vs Raptors. Kobe carried the team single handedly

This man... we miss his soul a lot in the game

Oddly. This was the season I fell in love with kobe's game. He tried to lead that team every way possible

Damn he was doing this at 34 years old in year 17. We all miss you mamba! 🙏🏽🐐🐍🏀

Glad I got to witness at least one year of prime Kobe

Crazy because this was the season I actually sat down and watched pretty much every single game. Tough time in my life back then. Man I would be stressed. Kobe was HIM. Brings back great memories of me sitting in my room alone watching this man shred everybody

I wanna see 2008-09 Kobe next, that was the best Kobe skill wise in my opinion

I remember the 10 game stretch before his injury the Lakers had to win basically every game to make it to that 8th seed, which seemed impossible at the time because of the injuries and Howard being fkn ass. Kobe willed those games to the W it was fkn incredible

Remembered that , also willed his team to win against spurs , the team they would've faced on The first round of the playoffs.

Had he not got injured we would've won the championship, why? Kobe said in an interview that season that nobody can out will him and gonna stand in his way of doing so. He over killed himself and that's what caused the injury. The best player to EVER step foot in the NBA; Kobe Bryant
