The Last Great Season Of Kobe Bryant : 2012-13 EPIC Highlights | GOAT SZN

I was 2 busy watchin my heat this season but this mustve been a weird season for lakers fans the hype was real i thought we were gonna see em in the finals

i miss the Afro KOBE

Kobe played well every season until his retirement from basketball

He looks like he had an extra bounce in his step and an extra spring in his jump this season. If they would've surrounded him with the right type of personnel, like athletic stretch bigs, as well as 3 and D knock down shooters, he could have carried this team to another WCFs.

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.

Do you guys think he only took peds this year or even in his prime?

Closest player to Jordan PERIOD!

I miss you bro 💕

The only thing was really hurting this team was the bench was horrible. Dan Tony was playing

Steve Blake 6’3
Jodie Meeks 6’1 maybe shorter honestly

As the backcourt for the bench playing them together to many minutes and they were way to small of a backcourt killing the defense
Not to mention when Nash came back the back court just was small

All the team injuries aside if the bench was better defensively the team would of been easily Top 3 instead of 8th with the way Kobe was playing

Before Lillard and Curry, Kobe's been shooting deep and from the logo. I remembered the 12 3pts game he had against the Sonics.

INSANE how well he was moving this season. I remember it was a big deal, people were saying he looked like he was aging in reverse. This season is still a mystery to me. He literally came back looking 6 years younger. How?

Can some PLEASE explain because honestly THIS IS MINDBLOWING. I’ve never seen it in nba history, at age 34 Kobe came into this season looking younger than he had since 2008. HOW? How did he move like this? I know you guys remember his 11-12 season and how a lot of us thought he was starting to look slower. But 12-13 he looked much more spry , light on his feet, quick first step. The mind body connection was just top notch.

YOU HAD TO SEE IT TO UNDERSTAND THIS SEASON KOBE. HE LOOKED 6 YEARS YOUNGER OUT THERE ?

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

He was great but he won’t no 23. Look at mikes 34 year old season compared to this. It’s not even close. 96-97 season. Jordan head and shoulders above. Other than handsize another great separator had to be the strength difference. Jordan lived in the weight room and knew when to stop

.

I wish he had better players around him.

I was born in 98 so this was the clearest memories I have of watching the lakers and Kobe. Truly heartbreaking end but incredible season.

I didnt realize how fast Kobe was in 2013. He is way faster here than 2006 and 2007.

Dale Harris making him come off the bench his first 2-3 seasons and his torn achillies in his 17th season robbed him of so much more he was a shell of himself his final 3 seasons. RIP to the Laker God Kobe Bean Bryant 💜💛🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Welcome

Kob should've been an MVP that season.....

This older Kobe is my personal favorite. This one to the 08 09 Kobe.

If he never tore his acl n tore his rotator cuff he had at least 3 more 25ppg seasons

Man.. I miss kobe, I wish he would’ve sat out this season and let Dwight’s back healed but all of us knowing him knew that wasn’t gonna happen lol

Needed every bucket against Toronto 😅

R.I.P the goat man still don't seem right to me 😢😢😢😢😢

If people still ask who's better, kobe or lebron, show em this video. As much of a monster lebron is he just aint got that killer in him

This is the best basketball I’ve ever seen. I’m 29 been watching since a kid and have yet to see someone as good as Kobe was this season 🔥😮‍💨 you just had to be there 💯

This Kobe best season to me

Idk how many times I’ve watched this but this is 34 year old Kobe… imagine what 03 Kobe does to this league today man the media would call him the goat

It was basketball pure excellence! He could do everything, a pure joy to watch.

I can watch Kobe play all day.

Хорошее было время..не то что сейчас

Man. The way he’s playing looks like the most MAX output of his career.

Kobe 8s the best shoe, hate that he tore his Achilles in those

Probably the most skilled player at that age AND at that time, in the league. SPEAKS VOLUMES.

From 2001 to 2013 up until Kobe tore his achilles IMO he was, in general, THE BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA. PERIOD. END OF STORY.

Kobe > LeBalco. EASILY.

High IQ people = MJ/Kobe
Low IQ people= LeBalco

Kobe GENTLEMAN SWEPT the 2008 Spurs in 2009 with PRIME DUNCAN while LeBalco got Swept by the same Spurs in 2007. Kobe then GENTLEMAN SWEPT the 2009 Magic 4-1 with PRIME Howard who sent LeBalco home 4-2 in the playoffs, and then Kobe came back from 3-2 to BEAT BOSTON 4-3, the same Boston that sent LeBalco to South Beach.

THREE STRAIGHT YEARS Kobe BEAT teams that sent LeBalco home.
P.S. Kobe LED ALL PLAYERS in the 2001 Playoffs, INCLUDING PEAK SHAQ, in WIN SHARES.
Game 7 2000 WCF, the most important game of Shaq's CAREER, he was choking, and the Lakers were down 20 and Kobe brought them back and OUTSCORED and OUTREBOUNDED PRIME SHAQ in game 7.
2001 Spurs WCF, Kobe was the highest scorer in that series. 2002 Kings WCF Kobe led all players in 4th quarter scoring in a series that went down to the WIRE.

1a.) MJ
1b.) Kobe
everybody else

This is not basketball... this is art.

Top 3 period

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

Kyrie Irving

I'm a kobe fan, and even I forgot how truly great he was. RIP Mamba

This was the time Kobe carried this team at 34-35 that time.

Great podcast Day!! ❤
