Kobe Bryant Scores 33 Of His 65 PTS In The 4Q Of OT Thriller |  

Blazers had a squad in the late 00’s. Most amazing thing is how down the stretch Kobe started picking up the primary perimeter ball handler full court for the last 5 minutes of regulation while going nearly 100% from the field possession after possession. He and MJ the only two players who could do that in the history of the NBA.

65 points in 50+ minutes was nothing less than spectacular BUT it’s also unbelievable how he also was very aggressive defensively on every possession. 😱

Listen to how the analyst, the crowd, the reporter responds to Kobe. The BEST player in the league, MVP chants, MOST clutch in the league even by the GM standards, one of the best two way players in the league. Can’t erase the Kobe era!!! 8🐍 24🐐🟣🟡

Unguardable Unforgettable RIP Kobe

Honestly, I know everyone hates the Lakers for giving Kobe such a shitty lineup to work with in 05-07. However, I kind of like it, because we got to see a full display of his skill across the board.

One of Kobe's greatest games and his second career high which is absolutely insane when you talk about 65 points. He is sorely missed but his legacy will always live on forever. R.I.P Mamba, you will never be forgotten. 🏀8🏀24

8 reasons why we miss Kobe He was awesome He was clutch no matter what He was inspirational He was never gave up no matter anything that happened He wasn’t afraid He was a great father He lived He is Kobe Bryant R.I.P 💜Mamba💛

When Kobe is feeling it, he’s the best player I’ve ever seen.

Kobe went on a 4 game scoring tear during that season. When you're a legend like Kobe you do legendary things. RIP Kobe 💛💜 #8 #24 1978-2020.

I remember watching this game live. We were not doing well. And I felt so bad for Kobe. In a couple of months, they would trade for Pau Gasol. And the rest is history.

Miss Kobe a lot, it's a new year 2022 and we should all be fortunate and grateful to be alive. His moments on the basketball court will forever live on.

I'm always here for Kobe, man I'm just loving this and no matter what anyone say Kobe's the man, he's got! We got him! So, here's to Kobe. R.I.P. Kobe, we will always love ya!

1:46:18 ARE YOU KIDDING ME? UNREAL!! This Mamba moments.. Thank you for all, legend. Never forget you, your mentality, your legacy. Mamba live forever.

65 points and clutch at the same time. Damn I’ll miss you Kobe

Masterful is an understatement! I never tire of watching Kobe's games and his unbelievable shots! WOW!!!

I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it. Unbelievable. Kobe went full Kobe in this game

What a game by a Legend, we miss you kobe 🙏

Unbelievable shooting from Kobe…..they could’ve triple teamed him

Kobe had carried his team for whole season. What a legend.

One of the best game Black Mamba has ever played in his career. RIP KOBE. We'll Miss you and won't forget that your still a legend.

What a fantastic player to watch at his best!

Unfogettable, legends never die😢😢😢😢😢

Emotionless after every shot. Classic Mamba mode.

Kobe on fire, in the zone, is the best ever!

I absolutely love watching Kobe play. He is definitely the goat!!!!!!!

1:46:20 "you can’t guard me" let’s go Kobe 🏀🔥

I enjoyed Kobe and the Lakers game. Always they all play well together. Kobe is always amazing. He's the greatest player that's in the NBA. Thank you, NBA for sharing with us. I rather watch Kobe's games than the games they are playing now. Kobe is the BOSS and THE GOAT. He's Legendary on the court and off the court. Always the professional player. RIP Kobe, the Legendary Visionary. Thank God for you Kobe and the Lakers. Thank you.

His dedication is unbelievable

One of the greatest. And this is such a small thing but I love the way Kobe and MJ shot the ball. They put a lot less arch on the ball when they shot. It was like a line drive and because of it, the ball would often hit the back of the rim and then shoot down and you'd get that awesome "thump" sound combined with the swish. As someone who played basketball a lot when I was younger and watched these guys religiously, I always sorta tried to emulate that kinda shooting. You need a lot of lift with your legs to elevate high enough to shoot with that little amount of arch though, and I didn't quite have that(nor was I 6'6 lol)

Most clutch player in nba history, not even a debate.

I watched this game live. The 4th quarter was unbelievable. This is like yesterday. Sigh... Kobe. My man.

Damn its been a whole year since i cried my eyes out We miss u guys LONG LIVE KOBE AND GIGI😭

Nobody does it better than Kobe from his spinning left and right and goes to fadeaway behind the arc. That's his signature move. Goat👆🐍

Finally Kobe. Kobe got this team to playoffs with no help at all. If only Gasol came early. Rip Mamba. We miss you.

Just look at how hard kobe went on defending his man straight from the first possession. No one had more heart.

Kobe is a player of its own, not replicable. ♥️♥️♥️. I love you Kobe. Rest in peace Gianna.

Hearing Kobe just brings back memories man

NBA should put the game where Kobe outscored the Mavs in 3 quarters 62-61 iirc. That was freaking better than the 81 pt game. Playing also against a great Mavs team that made the finals. Just unreal.

That's what I'm talking about! Kobe the Legend. R.I.P. Kobe, you're amazing'

How can you be dead when I watch your 15 years before game and enjoy it and get excited even I know whats gonna happen Kobe?

Rest in Power Legend

Crazy how no matter what they did the blazers always had a response!! Underaged team spectacular game

Difference between this and most other 60+ point performances is that Kobe HAD to score that much for his team to win. Most of the other times it's a blowout win

Kobe Bryant was the heart and soul for La lakers and he went through anyone that was in his way and make history by dropping 50 or more points on that week R.I.P. Kobe Bean Bryant the greatest player of all time and a man that inspired us all and is our hero 🐐😢❤️💜💛

Can we please get more full Kobe games?

mannn, kobe had 4 portland guys all over him, and the legend still makes his own way to get the bucket. I JUST LOVE MAMBA MENTALITY

Bynum should've been starting over Brown, just in the first quarter he was more productive. I know he was young but his confidence would've only grew with playing time on the floor. Young dude straight out of highschool when he came in and wasn't bad offensively. One of my favorite Laker centers, that '08 finals would've been different if he came back.

More of Kobe's greatest game! 😍🏀

R.I.P. Kobe and Gigi, but you guys are sadly missed. Kobe, you play hard to win these games and I know the Laker Nation, will truly miss you. Lord I just wish you were here with now. We love you Legend, you gave your games your all and you left it all on the floor. What a great leader and Legend.

I just watched this full game for the first time. This crazy!!! Rip kobe

Rip Kobe I miss you man you were considered the goat but to me the goat is you

Kobe was GR8 all the time and played his heart 💜💛 24seven

When he made that half court shot in the 2nd quarter I was shell shocked

THE GREATEST EVER bro picking up broy 94feet then scoring on doubles and triple teams miss ya kobe

Kobe! RIP! Still can’t believe your gone! You had so much more to give! Why I don’t get it?

WE MISS YOU KOBE YOU ARE ONE IN A MILLION NBA PLAYERS...RIP N YOUR DAUGHTER IN HEAVEN...

Kobe literally gave his ALL!

RIP KOBE. MISS YOU EVERYDAY

2 minutes in🎥 4 points 2 assists #RIPKOBE #GREATESTLAKEREVER

I’m reading a biography about him called Showboat and I have so much newfound respect for him even though I already respected him a lot

Kobe played hard every time he was the court , so I feel for those two guys Smush Parker and Kwame Brown what would they do if they weren't playing with Kobe. Heck what would the whole team do? Kobe is a winner no matter how you look at it, he's the winner always. Only Kobe can keep people on their feet at the game and they are loving it and so am I. Kobe always on his team, the Legendary Visionary Kobe Bryant. MVP, MVP, MVP, Kobe!

Seeing Brandon Roy here makes me sad that his NBA career got cut early. I like his game back then.

Man he has NO help. And the Lakers defense was trash this year. Kobe was an absolute assassin man. I sure do miss watching him play!!

RIP an absolute legend Do 81 next

Love u for life Kobe 💯🙏🏾

Kobe had 41 with 5:21 remaining and the Lakers down by 1 but finished with 65 and wins the game.

Yoooo I'm so glad you guys put this kinda stuff up 4 the people that run their mouth and never even seen this man perform..🤦🏾‍♂️.. Mamba 4life🙏🏾... Only person compares Is Mike!!!!!

30:23 this shoot kills me 😱😱

For a squad so infamous... they were actually playing very solid defense, Kwame was doing good on Zach, and Odom was doing good too, they were just tragic in offense

IF KOBE IS STIIL ALIVE NO ONE CANT STOP HIM

MJ was my all-time favorite, so when he retired it was tough at first to watch the NBA. It wasn't the same without him. But it wasn't long until Kobe took over as the best shooting guard in the NBA, and eventually the best player in the NBA. When he was on fire he was unable to stop! He was alot of fun to watch. Closest we got to Air Jordan, but with his own style and swagger.

wish i could have witnessed this in real life

Imagine 65 points being your second highest.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOBE BEAN BRYANT YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN 43 TODAY WE MISS YOU DOWN HERE

It’s 8/26/2023 watching this game and asking myself why I never got lebron over Kobe and I understand why I would never have bron over him. Kobe was special and a great father. I really miss Kobe. To me lebron would never be better than Kobe and nobody can change my mind 💜 💛 💜💛

This was back when Kobe didn't have much help until the Lakers traded for Pau Gasol during the 2007-08 season

Im sorry but no other basketball player EVER could do what he did!!! Moves on top of moves and clutch level to 1000!!!

Legend. Forever 💜💛

RIP NBA LEGEND, KOBE BRYANT...

30:22 he just a legend 💯❤

Underrated game

Kobe king of the court! R.I.P.Kobe, R.I.P.

Kobe’s 81 was amazing

How physically defended he was in 2000s Kobe still made these points.

Kobe 4 ever, he epitomize basketbal.

1.62 pts in 3 qtr 2. This game for 65 3. 60 at the garden 4.81 pts 5. 60 vs mem

REST EASY KOBE

Kobe may yoh and your your beatifaul daughter rest in piece. Your legacy is here forever and we all send prayers to your beautifaul family. That game is why for me the black mamba is the goat. The abillity to single handly alter a match and carry a team the amazing defense and offense, tough shot making and just killer instict. Wow the G.O.A.T! #24 #8

I remember watching this game and cussing at Kobe, i hated Kobe for a couple seasons after this game. It was the last knife stroke, I had already had to watch that NBA commercial time after time. The one where it shows the clip of kobe lobbing to shaq in the game 7 blazers calapse, also featured in the commercial is the Jordan shrug as cliff robinson looks demoralized. This game was heart breaking. Kobe would not let the lakers lose. Mamba was so special. .......... Shout out Brandon Roy, he doesnt get mentioned enough. He was a great ball player.

1:30:42 This moment lost Portland the game. Jared Jack made his team lose focus at a pivotal moment and at the same time fired up Kobe by going at one of his teammates and running his mouth

Still can't believe he's gone...

I think all people who leaves kobe out of top 5 should watch this game

Nobody, I mean NOBODY could hold Kobe Black Mamba Black Assassin Bryant in his Prime or Ever…for that matter. Not even Michael Jordan could guard him. He gave MJ 55pts!! Kobe was that dude and had No flaws in his game. He was so talented, athletic, a bit thin until he bulked up. He was locking your best player down on defense and scoring 50pts on you. Imagine Kobe Bryant playing through the “Steph Curry 3 pointer” era. He probably would’ve averaged 40ppg. Easily. He averaged 35.6 with 3’s not being a hot commodity. Think about that. Same goes for M.Jordan. Closest thing to MJ is Kobe And there probably won’t be another. His mentality alone was Unreal. He had a crazier mentality than MJ. MJ was naturally more athletic and gifted than Kobe. But I think Kobe was more “skilled” than MJ. People might think I’m crazy but think about this…the “original” the “goat” Michael Jordan , Kobe Bryant was able to mimick and literally do every move that he did…and MORE!! He perfected Jordan’s moves and added more. Which is crazy. MJ was just the original and naturally athletic as hell!! He came in the league like that. Kobe didn’t. Kobe worked* to get to that point which is more crazy to me. I’m a Laker Fan and Kobe is in my top 5. He is the second best ever behind Mj in my eyes. As far as skill level, style of play, and overall just assassin. No disrespect to the older players. The ONLY reason why some people don’t consider him in the “G.O.A.T.” Conversation is for a couple reasons: 1. Bcuz of what happened early in his career with the money hungry groupie who was trying to say he R-worded her. Bunch of BS. 🤦🏽‍♂️ 2. Some people (fans, critics, reporters, media) weren’t necessarily too fond of his personality. He was very short fused and kind of “stand-off ish” bcuz he was so dialed in to his craft. Locking to be Great. So it didn’t sit right with ppl but I must say…as he got older then eventually retired, he grew on the media and started becoming more personable and a people person. He would open up more and people started to like him more. Especially being the “#GirlDad,” bringing awareness and light on the #WNBA, and winning an Oscar for his #DearBasketball effecting all levels of ppl. No matter if you played sports or not. Young or old. Pure Greatness. He just makes you Challenge Yourself to Be Great. One of a kind. Personified Greatness Kobe was. 3. Lastly, going back to on the court. Bcuz he didn’t receive “multiple regular season MVPs” which was BS. He should’ve had a minimum 4 like LeBron. He was the best player in the league for a good 10-12 years, then injuries took over and his teams weren’t that good. He easily should’ve had 3-4 MVP’s. Everyone knows and says it. That’s the ONLY reason why some ppl don’t consider him in the Greatest Ever convo with Jordan. Either way, he’s in the goat discussion for me. Definitely Top 5. Rest In Peace Black Mamba, Gigi Bryant, and others who lost their lives. Rest well King and Queen. You will be Forever Missed. Live on Black Mamba ♾ 🐍 💛💜💛💜 #ForeverALaker bro

Kwame Brown n Parker being starters tells the story of what Kobe had to endure night in night out

Both this 65 point game and his 81 point game, Kobe's team were trailing most of the game. Unlike Devin Booker's 70 point game where he scored in garbage time, Kobe needed to score to win the games.

Beautiful enthusiasm from the lakers bench..

RIP legend

R.I.P Kobe. We truly miss you🙏

Kobe was helpless he lead and carried his team he is clutchest and people still consider him as top 10 bro he is top tier he is goat you only can compare him to mj kareem or wilt

Another reason I respect Kobe over Lebron, And Lebron my dude. But Kobe could have had way more Chips and stat pads if he hopped squads like LBJ. No way you can just hop Lebron over Kobe on that list. REST IN POWER. #Kobe 2nd best of all time.
