Kobe Bryant's Breakout 2002-03 Season! Best Player In The World? | GOAT SZN

It's just funny seeing all the clips of Kobe having a teammate wide open under the basket and Kobe being like "Nah bro this my ball" 😂😂

Dude never seen a shot he didn't like 😭😭

Kobe and T-Mac this season were stupid. I was in 7th grade. This was the last season before Bron too. I’m a huge Sixer fan. Iverson was my favorite. I had Iversons and TMacs jerseys and shoes in 7th grade too. NBA from 4th grade in 2000 until about summer 2010 was another level. But this is I think definitely Kobe’s best season. TMacs easily. Iverson could say 01, this season and 04-05.

Nobody better!

I wished he'd have stayed like this health-wise. Even 35 ppg kobe ain't TOUCHING this man

Lakers was a tired team this season, but not Kobe. They started 11-19 and finished 50-32. They really got a problem in the reg season againts the spurs because of Tracy Murray, Janere Pargo and Samaki are not that consistent. Any way, if that Horry 3 in game 5 West semis didn't rimmed out, Lakers got that 4 peat for sure.

This was arguably Kobe's best season. For me, its CLEARLY the biggest MVP robbery of his career. This is vintage Bryant as the peak of his powers 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Rip my boy!👼🏾 my second favorite player of all time behind mj

And Shaq wins finals MVP, again, for the 3rd straight year...but sure...

The season before this Kobe went absolutely bonkers in the playoffs. Averaged 35 ppg against the Kings in the WCSF, and 33 ppg against the Spurs in the West Finals all at the age of 22. He was already the best in the world at that time.

Should’ve been MVP this year not Duncan no offense but he had the better stats💯 he should’ve been in 05, 06, and 07 too💯 the league hated this man no way Nash should’ve had both of them awards🤷🏾‍♂️

People will not understand how dominant Kobe was as a scorer and that’s okay. If you grew up on the West Coast you know what it is… this is every single night. And that’s why we ride so hard as Laker fans… this was our normal. Nobody other than maybe magic performed like this every single night in the purple and gold 💯

My favorite player hands down

No disrespect to bird Duncan Hakeem magic and those guys but Kobe has to be in that top 5 people will says oh he had Shaq well Kobe was still playing at an elite level then they will says oh he has 1 MVP ok that doesn't mean he wasn't playing at a MVP level he just didn't get the most votes Kobe game was complete my mean footwork ball handling midrange the 3 clutch fade away defense Kobe Bryant is a top 3 player my top 10 is MJ Kareem Kobe LeBron magic Duncan bird Hakeem Shaq bill Russell I have Kobe at 3 he had everything his game was complete he was clutch and he had the resume so when I see Kobe doing moves that these greats depends on and Kobe doing it in one possession and he has the resume and the skills Kobe Bryant is top 3

I really think kobe was better than jordan just saying kobe is the best basketball player i ever seen period

This mf had the best footwork ever 🔥🔥🔥

👍👍👍👀👀👀👀👀

Thank you for these wonderful messages. it helps me feel better mentally

Bean really was like that bra

I miss this era of ball

Hey Folks. I have a saying that I often use when describing Kobe or some of the all-time greats. It goes something like this: "Sometimes, the other guy is just better than you". That was Kobe Bryant. RIP Kobe 🙏

Who shot the fadeaway first??? Wilt chamberlain

8>24

Hey Folks. I’ve been a Lakers fan for decades now and have seen many of the great scorers in the NBA. From Elgin Baylor, Alex English, George Gervin, AI, and of course MJ. I truly believe that Wilt Chamberlain and Kobe Bryant were two of the greatest scorers to ever play. I’ll never forget about Kareem and LeBron but Kobe and Wilt were born to score. RIP Kobe 🙏🏽

Hey Folks. Did you see the clip where Kobe went baseline, dunked it only to have Tony Brothers give Kobe a technical? I NEVER liked that official!! 😝

08-09 Kobe was the best version because he was willing to do less and defer to his teammates and that made him more unpredictable.

Kobe Bryant's the Chris Webber of shooting guards can score from anywhere.

The LA Lakers 3 year title reign has come to an end in 2002-03 by the San Antonio Spurs,who KO'd LA Lakers in the second round

Kobe Bryant black mamba played and started all 82 GMs in 2002-03,average over 31.6 ppg 2nd in the league(in February 9 GMs in a row where he'd averaged about 40 points per game),but in the 2003 nba playoffs,the San Antonio Spurs we're too strong?

As the 2002-03 season has concluded,Kobe Bryant and his LA Lakers dynasty came to an end,as they'd we're eliminated from the playoffs in the conference Semifinals by the eventual nba champs San Antonio Spurs,who will later send off David Robinson the admiral into the sunset with his second nba title?

This Year Kobe was MVP over Tim I think and media give it to Tim isntead of Kobe

2003 Kobe shots snapped the net differently. I can’t explain it.

Laughable when they try and pit soft ass curry or lbj above kobe

Kobe Bryant from 2000-2008 was unstoppable, he had the midrange, three point shot, baseline fadeaway everything offensively.

We saw TMAC had his own best at season 02-03 as well.

He's better than mj

Everybody in asia watch NBA during jordan and specially kobe.. proof? Go to china and philippines.. nowadays no matter how NBA promote lebron, it seems a few people appreciate lebron in the region.. NBA is dying they need another kobe or jordan to excite everyone

Pure RIDICULOUSNESS...lol smh

Kobe hooping in Jordans is crazy 🔥🔥🔥

Black Mamba🐐

the pacers highlights. Ron Artest was at the point the best perimeter defender in the league and he did just about as good defending Kobe as anyone else did. BBQ chicken

My goat for life rip Bean

Kobe would've won US the '04 gold medal. 🇺🇸🏅

He is better than lebron, period.

.. shooting % vs. Jordan's speaks volumes. Still...

he was lighting spree @ss up 🔥🏀

I started watching basketball because of Michael Jordan back when I was a kid growing up in Mexico City, but fell in love with the game to the point that I aspired to be a basketball player because of Kobe Bryant❤
