    Raptors lucky they weren’t in the west and had to play him in the playoffs. Kobe was killing them before Lebronto.

    Still remember watching this game live. I was at my dads house alone and was jumping up and down and screaming at the TV like a lunatic

    Jesus how do you allow that last dunk to happen

  4. No_Delay_1476

    Best tough contested shot maker ever

  6. JayQuips

    Kobe 🤝 LeBron

    Showing out against Toronto

  7. AmberXOLuv

    I have no idea how he would make some of those crazy contested shots

  8. jay7541

    why does this shit only happens to the raptors

    This was the game where DeRozan was wearing Jordan’s and Kobe told him that he should be wearing Kobe’s since DeRozan idolized Kobe. From that game forward, DeRozan would always wear Kobe’s.

    Look at this film and tell me that Kobe ain’t clutch again. People like to measure 5 sec or less but Laker fans have been telling you for years that Kobe will hit some insane shots to keep them in a one score game under one minute. The only other two players I have seen doing that is Bird and MJ

    I’m a survivor of both KoBronto and LeBronto.

    I miss when Jersey’s didn’t have ads on them

    That first shot is ridiculous. I think he had like 40 points and 12 assists in this game, right after having a 40 and 12 game against the Pelicans a game earlier lol.

    I still remember this game. Those shots were insane.

    There is no way people can watch clips like this and think “yeah there are 10 better basketball players than this man”

    I’d never forget this season. This was the LAST season of the Mamba in his truest PEAK form. In 2012-13, Kobe willed the Lakers into the playoffs with 5-6 game remarkable game winners. They started the season with new additions Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, firing Mike D’Antoni and hiring Mike Brown whom had this cockamamie idea of running a motion Princeton offense negating the two dominant post players in Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard, leading the team to an abysmal 17-26 start. Kobe staged a mutiny in the locker room and scraped that Princeton offense for PhilJack’s triangle offense and the Lakers went 28-11 the rest of the way but in the process, Kobe sacrificed his career and his achilles in the GSW game in the 80th of that season.

    Watched this live also, I was so pissed and hated Kobe so much. My rage comments are probably still on reddit on some old account. Alan Anderson was low key nasty though.

    I remember watching this live..I couldn’t believe what I was seeing

  19. ProofSinger3638

    this is like when I play my 4 year old nephew in smash bros

    this raptor team was was full of turds

  20. WadeCountyClutch

    Still remember watching this game with my friend and we were both standing and screaming! Kobe was amazin

  21. Soup-dan

    Sometimes when I’m feeling really down, I watch highlights from this game

    I’ll never forget Aaron Gray practically setting a screen on his own teammate after Dwayne Casey called for a double team on Kobe, leading to the game winning dunk

  22. Aclectic

    Watched this live at the 24 in WestCovina whole gym was going crazy.

  23. extremelegitness

    This mf hated us bro😭😭😭

  24. No-Chemistry-5356

    If I was a raptors fan idk if I’d hate Kobe or Lebron more. I’m guessing bron because he’d embarrass them when they had hope.

  25. BrolysFavoriteNephew

    Kobe in a nutshell. Terrible shots but he’s one of those players that you’d rely on shooting them. The 1st 2 I don’t think he even seen the rim before shooting.

    The run he went on at the bend of this season just to get into the playoffs was a great thing to see
