Eray yaman RIP
Rest in paradise GOAT...
So heartbreaking
Rest in paradise to a legend
Miss you so much. you accompanied all my youth timme.
The torn Achilles free throws will always amaze me, I remember watching it live thinking he wasn't that hurt because he barely showed it. I have see players with the same injury rolling on the ground screaming like their leg just got cut off 😂, Kobe winced and walked over to shoot free throws and then walks off the court. He was not only the hardest working player in NBA history but one of the toughest ever also.
The fact that we were here to witness Kobe's career is a blessing. I cant wait to tell my grand children about the black mamba. You've touched so many people's lives Kobe, rest in peace.
That was very well said, I'm surely going to miss him.😥😥
saying “Kobe” when shooting a paper ball in the trash can will never be the same :’(
Third String Kicker ikr😭
@@jamie6358 its sad
felt that hard
if u say kobe before shooting it, u better make it
Third String Kicker we just gotta scream it louder now
Don't be sad that he died. Be happy that he was born.
Aptux I love this statement!!! Thank you 🙏
Facts brrooo straight facts
Can’t....cant I be both? 😢😢😢
Naw I’m sad as fuck. It’s heart-shattering.
that sounds really stupid
A leader. A hero. A legend.
The "GREATEST OF ALL TIME" and it is not even close. He was an assassin. I have never seen anyone who played the game harder whether he was up twenty or down twenty. His work-ethic, mentality, love for the game, and will to win were unrivaled. He motivates me to this day to be the very best that I can be. RIP Legend you are missed.
Facts I call him the GOAT because he did it without being PHYSICALLY MORE GIFTED than everybody. JUST PURE SKILL AND HEART
@@Carolinagunsmoke. Don’t forget though that even when he was with Shaq as Frobe and even during his younger years, he was still very athletic.

This is the worst news I could have gotten, this is terrible.

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
💔💔😣😔
Rip Bryant legend
Ikr rip :(
Kobe is one of those athletes you are just thankful you had a chance to watch play.
Like Messi and Ronaldo
Amen
@@jjkroon267 ronaldinho and kobe
Yup I stuck with him from the 3 airballs vs jazz in playoffs. And in the end with the 61 points vs jazz.
Especially MJ
One of the greatest ever, period... Rest in Paradise young man. 🙏
I don’t think there’s any era in sports I miss more than the Kobe era. He was a nightly highlight reel, with more heart than I’ve ever seen.
You hear about his passing and go straight for his highlights. God bless everyone here right now.
RIP THE BLACK MAMBA
Facts
I thought it would be easier looking at the good times, it just reminds me how much I'm gonna miss this man. God bless everyone
No u
I’m not sure how else to mourn him so I’m here
collin Scott good point brother, greatest sports loss in modern history (our lifetime at least if ur 26 like me)
same bro, we all in this together
Same brother, mamba mentality forever
same bro mamba mentality. 😭so sad that he’s gone😭is crying rn
Was mine my bros my dad and my sister's idol😢
I come back to this tribute every few months, and every few months, I tear up once again. I was in LA when Kobe first came, and I watched him throw up airballs in the playoffs in his first year. But then he gradually grew to become the ultimate killer, and I feel privileged to have watched his career. RIP Mamba...
My Boy.From ( Lower Marion High School) When I First Saw him B-Ball I Knew he would be a Legend...R.I.P. BLACK. MAMBA KING and MAY the Grace OF GOD Be With YOU !!!

💣💣💣
to be fair, he very much wanted to be MJ and did everything he possibly could to achieve that.
F-Kobe...a known rapist and an adulterous. I don't care how good you are as a basketball player...because you failed as a man, husband and a father. Shame on you!
This man was truly an inspiration. I cant count the number of times I've watched this video.
Me either.
Wasnt even a Kobe fan but I cried like a child 3 years ago. You can't work harder for a passion than this man did. RIP
I respect this man so much. I feel so bad today. Devastated really. Still shocked that Kobe died today, Cause of a helicopter crash. One of the greatest legends. Respect to this man. His life ended to short.
I hear ya, same feeling. Appreciate your loved ones.
He had the most beautiful jumper
I love KB but I have to say MJ had him beat on that one. KB could make all sorts of ridiculously tough shot, but MJ just handled it with his fade-away, not as fancy as KB, but it was consistent, it was deadly, most importantly, how easily MJ made those fade-away just bust all hope defending MJ. KB's offense was probably more diverse than MJ I think.
Nah klay Thompson’s jumper is the smoothest. Jumper out there. That’s the perfect jumpshot
ngflycloud Kobe’s free throws are the best
I liked Reggie’s. It was ugly and beautiful at the same time.
Im2Jaded- Tv perfect jump shots are so wack to me idk why
I miss this guy! I can listen to him talk all day. He makes you want to never settle and always to put in that work to make yourself a better person, physically emotionally and mentally! RIP KB and GG ❤️🕊🙏🏾
Man I’m just reminiscing on all these plays, watching them reminds me of the time I jumped off the couch in disbelief of what I had just witnessed.
He was so legendary everyone in my school would say “Kobe” when they made any type of basketball reference I’m glad kobe at least got to make his mark before he passed R.I.P legend🥺💕
Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise. -Kobe Bryant
He'll rise to Heaven now, holding his daughter
This is still the greatest mixtape and it’s tradition to be here every year so it’s not forgotten, happy new year everyone
I've been a Phoenix Suns fan for 35 years.. and here we hate LA. It's instilled into us as kids. If you're born in Arizona. You hate everything LA in the sports world. I hated Kobe, but I respected his game. How hard he worked and the kind of man he was off the court. He was a superstar basketball player and a loving husband and dad to his wife and daughters. Kobe was special. Truly, TRULY the closest we'll ever see to another Jordan. There will never be another Kobe Bryant. I was blessed to watch Kobe play for the 20 amazing seasons he played in the NBA as a Laker. He is the ONLY Laker I truly admire. I miss you Kobe. I miss seeing you preach about Mamba Mentality. Hearing you share your wisdom and life changing advice you gave to the kids and adults alike. God bless you in heaven forever Kobe. RIP. The basketball world still isn't the same without you here in it. The Lakers are up 3 games to 1 on the Warriors in the semis and you and Gigi should be sitting Courtside watching your Lakers succeed onto the Conference Finals. RIP Mamba.
Literally half the world said this mans name when taking a jumper and now he’s gone
I honestly can’t believe this. He is literally gone😭😭😭 This is the worst news I’ve ever heard. I hate how fragile human life is 😔
It's insane to think about. But the fact that one life is so limited and so fragile makes it so much more inspiring how f*cking much a single person can achieve. May he live on as an inspiration to all of us.
Death is just but Life's unwanted surprise man. We have to envy Kobe or Thank I guess for reminding how we need to live the life before death takes over.
As the countdown nears getting to the end my eyes began to tears.
Can't help but get my eyes heavy while watchin' this. Love you Kobe. Rest in Power, Mamba.

wow.
Kobe is a legend so you be crying for him legends never die Kobe Bryant and his best friend Michael Jordan was crying for him
Can’t believe he’s gone🥺 he was my entire childhood😭😭 legends never die 💜💛
I’m still in my childhood. And i still understand because he built my love for the game Such a legend 😭😭😭
Mamba Mentality forever
Can't lie started crying at the 10min mark. He was something special to watch.
Kobe was legendary! I was blessed to see his showmanship from the beginning of his career until the end. RIP Kobe 💪🏿✊🏿
Saying "Kobe" after shooting a piece of paper into the trash can will feel different now 😔
Isabella Bonaparte, You have to say “For Kobe” now and then pray
For real bru 😪
Don’t stop saying it. Keep the legacy going
Bruh I just realized that
Bring up stats all you want, you guys will never know how much he had an impact in the game of basketball
Dude played in the most stacked conference and he got 2 rings without Shaq during that conference. Fans and the media choose stats while players choose Kobe for multiple different reasons.
carlster - stats are the objective measure. Not feelings
Dante Goodman -stats don’t show expansion era play or playing through 3 to 4 defenders for 75% of your plays.
Kobe is the only player in nba history to have *33,000 points, 7,000 rebounds, 6,000 assists, 1,800 3 pointers made, & 8,000 free throws made* 🤷♂️
@@onepiece6529 SCREAM IT LIKE YA MEAN IT!!!
KOBE WAS NOT ONLY A LEGEND IN BASKETBALL, BUT HE WAS A HERO TO MANY IN MANY WAYS. HIS OUTSTANDING SPORTSMANSHIP ON AND OFF THE COURT, HIS KIND HEART (HELPING SO MANY PEOPLE IN SO MANY WAYS, AND HIS AWESOMENESS IN BEING A SUPERB FAMILY MAN, ETC. REST IN PEACE MY HERO!
F-Kobe...a known rapist and an adulterous. I don't care how good you are as a basketball player...because you failed as a man, husband and a father. Shame on you!
My all time favorite basketball player, 20 years of excitement when he stepped on the court
R.I.P We lost a legend but will never forget him
R.I.P to “the black Mamba” Kobe Bryant.
This video was so well done. Thank you for making this. We were so fortunate to call Kobe ours for 20 seasons.
Man I loved all those great years. Miss watching him so much
*Rip Kobe , His Daughter was also in the helicopter* RIP
3000 subscribers With no video Rick foxx wasn’t there.
is Rick Fox confirmed? I found this info nowhere
Rick fox wasnt in the crash
Dont for the other 3 RIP
She was :((
Kobe bryant had the smoothest, purest jumper the game has ever seen. Flawless form.
GateCityBull ' its beautiful.
Everything he did was flawless. He was a perfectionist.
I agree. He has the prettiest, purest jumper I’ve ever seen too.
Ever since I was a kid, I'd always try the Kobe fadeaway even though I couldn't even reach the basket.
I never understood why Kobe never shot 50-60% from the field for a season smh easily one of the most beautiful jumpshots ever!!!
It’s top 50 and I watched it more than 50 times R.I.P KOBE🐐
Idc what player you believe is the GOAT, you have to respect and recognize this man's greatness. It's a shame that people try to downplay what he has done because they want to argue whether MJ or Lebron is better... just chill out and accept that Kobe has changed the game of basketball for the better simply with his grit and work ethic alone. His skill was always there, but it simply was never good enough for him no matter what he accomplished, and as a Spurs fan, I could never look past the blessing I've had getting to watch the Black Mamba play the game of basketball. Thank you, Kobe.
Stewart Bowers This is exactly how I feel about the MJ and Lebron debate. People need to stop disrespecting one or the other when they argue who’s better; they both changed the game of basketball and will forever be remembered as legends, just like Kobe
I had to realize thats just how it is today with social media... everyone Is fishing for likes and saying the most ridiculous things for it. the only bad thing is its making people start to believe those ridiculous statements and grab onto those beliefs without ever actually doing research or watching how great a player like kobe was. its actually really sad that a "nobody" can make a single comment that is ignorant and make thousands of people believe something that ruins a mans legacy like kobe. but its cool cuz the real ones know.
The rape forever altered his status as the greatest. Had kobe never done that, we would probably be saying he is tied with jordan as goat.
Stewart Bowers real talk bro..idc wat anybody say,Kobe is the GOAT to me!!!
Kobe definitely one of the most disrespect legends of all time! I really don't understand why, the only thing that I can think of is his game emulated MJ so much that people have a hard time truly appreciating him because many view him as a copy of Mike
From now on, we shouldn't say "Kobe" we should say "For Kobe" 💔🕊🕊 R.I.P. Bud ✊😔 "Live life at its greatest. Life is too short. Cherish every second you have." - Kobe Bryant 2018
For kobe
Earlier today, I yelled “for Kobe” and made 4 threes in a row (I suck at basketball)
who the fuck is kobe bryant
@@eoinmcdonagh8891 go away little troll
The announcer at 18:36 and the way he introduced Kobe, the crowd response, that sends chills
Bring tears everytime I watch kobe videos rest in peace mamba
heartbroken, such a humble man. one of the best ever.
May he his daughter and everyone else on that helicopter Rest In Peace
APEXx it wasn’t the pilots fault. It was actually the visibility the pilot couldn’t see due to the fog, causing him to crash the helicopter.
Damn that Sikorsky pilot he didn't check that indicators. I know that it is pilot error.
APEXx I think he has been punished enough in that fact that he’s dead
@@ladysunshine171 The pilot is human. Nobody could be able to see through the fog at high altitude. It's a freak accident man. Nobody was at fault.
Amen
Tears all over... I was 13 tears of age when I got a pair of Kobe sneakers... Back in 2003. Love this guy. RIP, king
Still watching these highlights can’t wait to show my kid this.
Rest in peace to the hardest worker and most respectable man in NBA history. Rest easy Kobe 🙏💔
It feels so surreal man
@@oof8850 My whole life growin up when I thought basketball I thought kobe. A true legend.
F-Kobe...a known rapist and an adulterous. I don't care how good you are as a basketball player...because you failed as a man, husband and a father. Shame on you!
RIP never forgotten the black mamba Will always be one of my favorite players ever
fuck, man. I remember watching this a few hours after I heard the news... I couldn't stop the tears no matter how hard I tried, and I dont usually shed tears for anything.... all those times in my driveway alone trying to get his jumpshot down just right... Love you, Mamba. Promise you'll never be forgotten...
Watched this so many times already. What MJ and Kobe did to the game was legendary forever! RIP little Goat!
Best 20 minutes you'll ever spend in your life, truly inspirational.
Marcus B'More Creative I don’t really watch basketball but I had to look this up and it’s amazing what a human with a champions mindset can do. It’s very inspirational
We are all heartbroken, this shows how must he meant to the game, I still can believe the news, no matter what his name will live on for ever. REST IN PEACE KOBE❤️
F-Kobe...a known rapist and an adulterous. I don't care how good you are as a basketball player...because you failed as a man, husband and a father. Shame on you!
It’s crazy that half of these highlights I remember going to school next morning and everyone’s talking about it!! Miss you mamba. #8#24
Geeez man he was so great. This brings tears and happiness. Thanks Kobe
This hit different now hearing what happened....pain
Absolute legend of the game. There will never be another KOBE.
Yeah, thats so true
Rest In Peace
I can watch this thing forever. I always watch this compilation, im studying the game, im breaking down every tiny bit of information of the move he did. You can learn a lot of moves here. But sometimes its hard to focus when u realize that he's now gone. Fly high legend.
Legend never forgot
Official Trash Can Shot Rule Change : From - "KOBE!" Now - " FOR KOBE!" Edit* - "FOR GIGI!" also accepted. MambaMentality
Ale Xando well said I will start start doing this from this day forward
No bro its Kobe.. y this generation want to always change shyt
🙏🏾❤️
Imagine yous all missing! He will be disappointed!
No even Kobe missed some shot but after he learned is mistakes
Kobe is like Mozart. You can argue if somebody else in that profession was better. But when you watch him play you were mesmerized. Kobe has all kinds of talent, but he belonged on the Basketball court. His work ethic and skill set produced one of if not the best ever. I am a true fan of KOBE.
I’m back two years later hoping this was just a bad dream. The man that gave so many of us hoop dreams. Thank you Kobe
I'm sitting here, yelling my head off! KOBE! I love watching him play! Thank you for this!
Robbed of a MVP in 2006. Greatest Laker of all time imo.
MVP is the biggest joke reward
There was so many times he should of won that
Maafa 1619 Hell nah, Kobe all the way.
Steph curry is better than kobe
Maafa 1619 Kareem has 2 finals Mvps He played with the greatest pg ever AND James worthy top 50 all time and finals mvp Give Kobe the same help Kareem got who'd have more rings
God Bless Kobe Bryant, his daughter, his family and the others that perished. May they All Go straight to Heaven 🙏

Amen!
Amen to that man🗣💯
Thank you for making a kid fall in love deeply w the game of basketball & with the lakers I still remember those nights when the whole block went crazy when the lakers would win the championship especially game 7 vs the Celtics ! LONG LIVE THE LOS ANGELES LEGEND ! BLACK MAMBA FOREVER 🏁🙏🏻
Speechless whenever I get to watch these videos...never gonna see his kind again..skillwise he's a cut above the rest,midrange game incomparable,the turnaround jumpshot is perfection...the poster dunks were like a mamba striking it's prey...rest in peace kobe
RIP Kobe, Gigi, John, Alyssa, Keri and the 4 other whose names havent been released yet. You were an inspiration to millions and will NEVER be forgotten. Rest in Paradise
RIP
The guy who got me into basketball and the guy who made me a Lakers fan Also the background music got me depressed
Kody Soaladaob the song is called Roller Coasters by Nile$ B if youre wondering. Got me sad too watching this highlight reel. 💔
This video came out over a year ago and remember watching it but now the song fits it
Kody Soaladaob facts bro the song made me shed tears
Kobe was and still is the man RIP the beannnnnn
me and you in the same situation. i would not be a basketball player if ig were not for him
Literally the BEST video on Kobe Bryant I've had the great pleasure of watching. Beautifully put together. Thank you for sharing!
Damn still had to fight the tears through that - this legend would make our weekends for years growin up in So Cal. Best memories RIP 🐐
Nobody pulls off crazier more athletic high iq plays than Kobe . 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Ummm Steph curry is more skilled than kobe
Sports Venom you dumb
Sports Venom No, a better ball handler and shooter maybe
I'd say AI is a close second forsure
Sports Venom fuuuck no
Life can be such a cruel place, live your life's to the fullest everyone, it can be taken away so quickly. R.i.p kobe.hero to so many. And to his daughter, and everyone els on that helicopter god bless.
The greatest basketball player of all time .
Here I am again a year later, this video hits me the hardest. Kobe died on my birthday so now i have to live the mamba mentality. RIP Kobe
Emotional watching this. His career is a life lesson to us all.. FAN OR NOT! #LEGENDARY
Yeah!
So many beautiful memories. I still can believe he is gone… long live Kobe
I am so blessed to have witnessed and followed his career from his Rookie year and was able to watch his final game also! He may not know me but he inspired me in so many ways! Forever legend!
I can’t even watch without crying RIP the Mamba
dgordan33 MY SUNDAYS GOING TO KOBE
I was blessed to have grown up watching this legend the world is a little darker losing this man. RIP mamba
It’s been over a year and this is the one. This is the video that gets me every time. Cried watching this before and after the accident. Legends never die.
I watch this often. . Will never see another play the game like him 🐐
“I never had a plan b, I put all my eggs in one basket and I knew I would make it happen” one of the realest to ever do it! R.I.P KOBE 💔💔
02:20 this one hit me. He could've left... but this man went back out and delivered with a torn achillies. We love you Kobe... r.i.p
and other time , still played having the flue!!
Isiah Thomas said about Kobe and that injury was the hardest injury he had and he himself couldn’t do what job did. A man among men.
@@rafaelrodriguez5310 pl
That's where Thompson got his inspiration. Thompson remembered that while walking through the locker room and went back.
That should have been top 5! Mamba summed up!
Kobe might be cocky but he is a great player with incredible talents and he works so hard. Never stop. I admire that.
I have been watching this video since 2019 where in 2021. I could name 15 plays he does in this video without looking. REST EASY MAMBA❤️✊🏾
Kobe's game is so beautiful
NBA Library yeah bro, its not the ugly Lebron athletic and muscle play
Yeah man not like bro dunked over Yao Ming and blocked him in this video u just watched😂 Kobe so finesse
Who’s here after Kobe’s death man this hits hard😢💔 Edit: I know it’s a obvious answer that everyone’s here but there are a bunch of other videos of Kobe so I was just wondering how many people went to this vid after his death and also R.I.P. Kobe and Gigi and everyone else that died in the crash
Ur so dumb
@@brody7752 he's just asking man
Everybody is. It’s a tribute😔
Been watching alot of Kobe highlights, I just noticed that most of his greatest blocks were LEFT HANDED!!
I just wanna say I've watched this video so many times and I cry every single time bc it just reminds me that someone like kobe helped so many people he basically inspired people to not give up no matter what but R.I.P to the black mamba
No one can match this GOAT. He was always in his own universe. Never cried about plays. Played through pain and broken fingers to CHIPS. Loyal to his fans til the end.
Matt Rabinowitz i can match Kobe. But only at ping-pong
Forever legend #8 #24...gone and never forgotten r.i.p Kobe. We all have mamba mentality because of you. Love you like a brother 🏀🏀🏀
