Most randos dont understand how intelligent Kobe was. He was a student of the game, a master by the end of his career. Everyone else is looking at the game zoomed out, clapping and cheering. This man had a microscope on every aspect of the game. Kobe knew he wasnt the biggest, the strongest, the most athletic. He made up for all that with sheer will, intensity, preparation, and hard work. His approach to the game and life was phenomenal. Im not the type of person to idolize celebs and athletes, not by any means, but i have to admit that when Kobe passed, it HURT.

Kobe went 4/14 overall and 0/5 from 3 that night so it was rough, but he made up for it with his defense which was the difference between the Lakers losing or winning that night.

Only problem is the last game they played against each other (2015-2016), Warriors won 116 - 98 with Steph shooting 9-18 and 8-16 from 3PT. So, Steph must have worked on his shot against Kobe. However, Kobe and the Lakers in that same season won the two games before that, with Steph going 6-20 (1-10 3PT), and 10-21 (4-12 3PT; which still ain't bad). That was the season they went 73-9, so the Lakers beating them twice that season was pretty monumental. They also won the two games before that in the 2014-2015 season (when GSW went 67-15 for the season and winning the title), with Steph going 10-19 (5-9 3PT), and 10-19 (3-8). The stats for those 5 games, Steph averaged 9-19 (4-11 3PT), 8.2 Assists, 2.4 Turnovers, and 25.8 Points, which is still a great shooting percentage and assist-to-turnover ratio.

Definitely, but a disadvantage about this is that you’re giving them an easy lane to get to the rim. Unless you trust your big man to lock down the paint (stopping all drives, making sure no one sneaks behind him for easy buckets and NO fouling) it’s almost impossible for most players to defend this way. Curry relies on his shooting too much and Kobe was a lockdown defender so it works for him, but all this really does is make curry slightly uncomfortable to most players (aka ineffective).

I'm at the age where I grew up watching Jordan. We had WGN as a kid so I watched Jordan even early in his career. This was when the bad boys of Detroit were dominating the East. I then got to watch MJ develop into the best on the league and win 6 championships so I have always been team Jordan. Kobe was clearly special but the more I hear about his work ethic and how he studied the game makes me see things differently. It's not that Kobe was the next Jordan, he was the first Kobe. He outworked everyone, knew more, and was more driven than anyone. Yes, Jordan is still my GOAT but Kobe is right up there. He may not have been blessed with the hands or muscle of Jordan but I don't think anyone worked harder than Kobe so my respect for him has only grown stronger. RIP Kobe, it would have been interesting to see what Kobe did in the second chapter of his life. I think he may have bought a team just like Jordan. Kobe could not stay away from competition. He may have even coached. Whatever it was, he would have been great at it. 🖖

He made up for all that with sheer will, intensity, preparation, and hard work. His approach to the game and life was phenomenal.

Kobes mind was always going and thinking of new ways to defend certain people new ways to destroy you in a way possible on the court. He was truly one of a kind.
It's rare and unusual to put consistently and single-handedly in the same sentence. Let alone to be used to describe a champion. Yet Kobe, consistently single-handedly destroyed all expectations and examples of greatness. 3-peat, Clutch shooter/scorer, lock down defender, you fiercely loved him or fiercely hated him, work ethic, got a signature Shoe from Jordan and A.I., brilliant on and off the court, dazzled the court and everyone watching, relentless competitor, showed not only how to with championships, but showed Champions, and the World, how to Win Gold!! Mamba Mentality
The things I hear and see from kobe are just amazing, man's effort and will power, his thinking and the way he spoke to people, like a walking angel, sad to see him gone too soon, I hope he's doing good in his other life or in the other realms.

Only problem is the last game they played against each other (2015-2016), Warriors won 116 - 98 with Steph shooting 9-18 and 8-16 from 3PT. So, Steph must have worked on his shot against Kobe. However, Kobe and the Lakers in that same season won the two games before that, with Steph going 6-20 (1-10 3PT), and 10-21 (4-12 3PT; which still ain't bad). That was the season they went 73-9, so the Lakers beating them twice that season was pretty monumental. They also won the two games before that in the 2014-2015 season (when GSW went 67-15 for the season and winning the title), with Steph going 10-19 (5-9 3PT), and 10-19 (3-8). The stats for those 5 games, Steph averaged 9-19 (4-11 3PT), 8.2 Assists, 2.4 Turnovers, and 25.8 Points, which is still a great shooting percentage and assist-to-turnover ratio.

That was Kobe's last season in the league and he was really on 1 leg. He just played when he could, and when he did, he did it for the fans who came to see him play. So Curry did have a good game, but did Kobe play and if so how many minutes.
He also found KD's weakness until he corrected it later in his career

Definitely, but a disadvantage about this is that you’re giving them an easy lane to get to the rim. Unless you trust your big man to lock down the paint (stopping all drives, making sure no one sneaks behind him for easy buckets and NO fouling) it’s almost impossible for most players to defend this way. Curry relies on his shooting too much and Kobe was a lockdown defender so it works for him, but all this really does is make curry slightly uncomfortable to most players (aka ineffective).

Can let Steph make you guess where he’s going. You make him go the direction you want him to go. Pick one side and expect the step back or a hesi. Move him to your weak side help. If there’s a screen switch and hope for the best.
I'm at the age where I grew up watching Jordan. We had WGN as a kid so I watched Jordan even early in his career. This was when the bad boys of Detroit were dominating the East. I then got to watch MJ develop into the best on the league and win 6 championships so I have always been team Jordan. Kobe was clearly special but the more I hear about his work ethic and how he studied the game makes me see things differently. It's not that Kobe was the next Jordan, he was the first Kobe. He outworked everyone, knew more, and was more driven than anyone. Yes, Jordan is still my GOAT but Kobe is right up there. He may not have been blessed with the hands or muscle of Jordan but I don't think anyone worked harder than Kobe so my respect for him has only grown stronger. RIP Kobe, it would have been interesting to see what Kobe did in the second chapter of his life. I think he may have bought a team just like Jordan. Kobe could not stay away from competition. He may have even coached. Whatever it was, he would have been great at it. 🖖

Ol’ Lou Will thought the stories he heard about Kobe were myths. The nerve… I guez Kobe is if “I told you so!” was human.

What? He never said it was a myth. Just bc you dont know about something doesnt mean you doubt it. He just said he didnt know until he saw it with his own eyes. d riding is crazy

@@tyreek.6815Lou Williams literally said “After that, I was a believer. Everything I heard about Kobe Bryant is all true.” If he hadn’t previously believed the stories, he had to have doubted they were true.

He's the only one figure out how to defend Steph R.I.P Kobe Always A Legend ❤
Nowadays a lot of players lack this IQ and defense in general. All they wanna do now is just pull up for a 3 and not play defense lol

You are one of those that's riding the nba hate without watching the game that's why your saying there's no defense

@@Daviyourhomie i said there is less, not that there is none. Lakers vs Pacers the other day was 150-145, literally proves my point. The NBA is also considering adding new rules next season because defense has taken a back seat to offense.
The chef stopper nah we fast over here homie 😂
Kobe was different! (Mamba mentality lives on) 😌🙏🏾💙💯
#KobeBryant didn't just play the game; he was the game. Not only did he play against his opponent, but he also studied his opponents. #Legendary 🏀
People think breaking all the records and scoring 40k make you the GOAT. Naw. The real ones know the deal. In this era, Kobe Bryant is the best to do it.

“If you stand next to the chef the only thing he gon cook is stone soup.” - Kobe
I love Kobe hes one of the players in the GOAT tier but the comments here are silly. After 2019, Steph ascended to another realm. Nobody, not even Kobe, MJ, Gary Payton, etc can stop any version Steph after 2019

My sentiments exactly. The idol worship gets in the way of objectivity. The greatest shooter ever is not getting shut down. Prime vs prime would be amazing to see because Kobe wouldn't be stopped either. But the idea Steph would just roll over and die is insane lmao

Kobe was more far more than any other human being. Kobe discovered the key, used it to unlock all doors and humbly told us all what to do. Kobe was MIND.
No doubt he'd be coaching an NBA team today if he was alive. RIP Mamba. Even as die hard Sacramento Kings fan. Kobe was him! Legends never die.
Kobe Bryant was a student of the game R-I-P Kobe if he wouldn't have passed he would have made a hell of a coach and R-I-P to his daughter and everyone who lost their life on that day 1-26-20 I remember the date because it was my bornday GOD BLESS ALL THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO LOST LOVE ONES 🙏
Kobe Bryant was on a whole other level "BEAST MODE"
this why they took him out....he wouldn't be down with the way sht in society got - he'd be a massive thorn in the side to "THE MESSAGE
one talks about how insanely good this man's was as a perimeter defender
Kobe found a way to gaurd anybody he would figure you out
Lotta people will watch film when the staff says watch film, but when you do it at home, on your own time you really learn.
s like this. One of the smartest basketball players of all time.
@inspiredbyhoops could you tell me the name of this song please?
Rip brother he's awesome ❤️🙏
I LUV MY BROTHA KOBE, WE MISS YOU & GIGI MAN! GOD BLESS..
Kobe is smart... the way he win games is that, he study the opponents and then he adjust his game to shut down them and win the game.
Brilliant ball player; If only he had this kind of love and grace for his parents.
So missed 😞🙏💯❤️🔥 The GOAT. Big bro Kobe. Mr Laker. 💯💯💯

Damn, how he locked up DeMar at the end there. That was cold! 🥶
There’s also a catch to that there’s also the pressure that he gives so not just anybody can do that to Stephen Curry. You also have to be a really good defender.
players of all time.
The mind is so powerful and Kobe knew that.
That's some Batman having files on the Justice League type of ish
Love you Kobe
Kobe truly studied the gsme and his competition. Put in that level of focus and attention to detail and you can dominate in your field as well.
The cerebral assassin. Kobe Bean Bryant
Kobe is the personification of “love of the game” dude was gonna find every single way to guard you and exploit your weaknesses
Kobe really was built different
Kobe was definitely the Batman of the NBA.. every body has a weakness, you just have to find a way to extort that weakness.
That defense on demur at the end was crazy😅😮😮 and I seen a video and kobe talking about how to do someone like that... taking away the one hand sitting and waiting on them to switch hands with the ball and swipe down
That’s How Kawhi Check Him in 2019 👌🏾😂😎
The more I hear about Kobe over the years, the more it sounds to me like he was actually the Batman of basketball.
