R.I.P. Kobe Bryant. Got a request? Leave a comment here. ask.fm/gearmast3r The best highlights from game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers.
For real. He had to be on fuckin cloud 9 after making those. You'd feel like the biggest bad ass ever, hahaha. Even if you sucked ass the rest of your career, you'd always have that in your back pocket. So Sasha what is the most valuable thing in your life? Well obviously making those free throws. So that's more valuable to you than your wife and kids? Oh, one HUUNDRED percent
@@mikemoggerson6651 lol everyone was you dumb fuck. boston shot 40% from the field while the Lakers shot only 32%! but pau 18 and kobes 15 rebounds gave them enough chances to pull of the win. they just wanted this one more thats why kobe a goat. this was a grind it out defensive game. one of the greatest finals games of all time. KG and fish were the only players that shot over 50% from the field. pierce 5/15 allen 3/14 pau 6/15 metta 7/18 bynum 1/5 and kobes 23 on 6/24
Alex Reyes That’s why I like Celtics Fan and also the Celtics Of Course you „hate“ the Lakers but there is always Respect from you Guys No hate No Harsh Feelings Just Normal Game Emotions You Guys are good Enemies and I hope that we will meet again in the NBA Finals 🏀 #RIP Mamba🏀🙏 #0824💜💛
@@chriswalls5831 2016 warriors>2010 Celtics. And Kobe was pretty mediocre in the 2010 finals. 28 ppg with barely 40% FG percentage, 30% 3p% and only 3 apg. Legend but also a comically overrated player. He was statistically never as clutch as Lebron
@@mikemoggerson6651 hater. What's lebron's free throw % in the last 2 minutes of a game versus Kobe's? Since we want to talk clutch. What about who has the most wins in the playoffs vs 50 win teams? And who has more rings in less tries? All the stats that really matter Kobe masters. You can keep the buzzer beater statline. I'd rather have a guy knocking off top tier teams in each round of the playoffs on his way to dominate the entire league not just a conference for ten years, going to the finals 7 times and winning 5. Oh and don't forget the Lakers were down 3-2 this series and won game 6 in Boston thanks to Kobe's 38 on the road. Even in this game he was the leading scorer and rebounder on both teams. And no one but arterst shot a good % that's out of both teams. Oh and who just got another loss in the playoffs to a 50 win team??? Leswept
@@taraatkins4823 what was Kobe doing at 38? And Kobe wasn’t even the best player on his team for 3 of those 5 finals. He was hard carried by Shaq for the 3 peat Lmao. Kobe was statistically not clutch.
As a Celtics fan for the first time, I remembered watching this when I was in high school. It was heartbreaking that my Celtics lost and now they back in the Finals and hope they win it all. RIP Kobe Bean Bryant
This is basketball. No stat padding, no hugging and kissing, no trying to look pretty. Just straight grit and grind, blood and sweat, cuts and bruises.....man I miss Kobe
@Lisa Rose Please read it again. Yea he did go 6-24 but did he cry about it? No he still grinded and did everything else he could. And I wasn't just talking about Kobe. I was talking about basketball as a whole. Please learn reading comprehension
At 11 years old, I thought this was one of the greatest games I've ever seen, my family were all Kobe fans, cheering and yelling in celebration, but at 21 years old today, I skipped to the last ten seconds of this classic, and seeing Gigi and the siblings, but this time I'm in tears of sadness, heartbroken because my favorite player is no longer alive. He thought us that it takes everything to be great at you do, for that ,THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING KOBE. January 26th, 2020 is a day I'll never forget.
Yeah bro same thing.I was 12 years old there and i didin't miss single finals since 2008 but so far this final better then everyone.Miami dallas was epic but this year was something else.I alsa cried watching this all good memories childhood time love of ball and fav player so far kobe.The world fucking so empty and nothing to worry about this Lie world.U cant know whats ur future going to or after 5 min later u cant predict the life.But im so happy to watch prime kobe.RIP Mamba we will always love you :(
Same here bro. I'm also 11 and most of my family are lakers fan. kobe is the reason i played basketball this 09-10 season I started copying kobe's moves
What a series this was Reviving this historic rivalry Two prized fighters going toe to toe in the trenches, just like back in the 80s. Tough, rugged, raw, relentless determination on both teams. So fortunate to have witnessed this game 7 live
Hard to believe this was 10 years since the Lakers last won an NBA Title with Kobe Bryant and 10 years since we last saw the Lakers battle the Celtics in the NBA Finals God Bless You Kobe Bryant and Thank You for all your contributions to the NBA and to the World of Professional Sports R.I.P. Mamba
It's insane seeing the role players play with such aggression and grit 💯! You can tell Kobe drilled the mamba mentality into everyone he played with 🐍 🏆
Man that rebuild time was when that core group gelled after years of grinding. Sasha, Luke, Odom, Bynum…then the addition of Gasol….Fisher doing the Jazz dirty…great times…. Those last two championships were hard earned…Loved that team.
I remember Ron Artest’s clutch three, But I totally forgot about Vujacic clutch free throws. That was a high pressure high risk situation, he barely plays the whole finals series and just comes in and sinks two clutch free throws. Put some respect on his name!
K well he played when the Lakers weren’t that good, that’s how he made bank. Pretty sure he was a starter in the 2008 Finals but the 2010 Lakers were a much deeper team than 08 and he became a benchwarmer
I miss this Lakers team I miss Ron Artest doing crazy things I miss Pau Gasol screaming after every layup I miss Andrew Bynum getting injured I miss Shannon Brown jumping out the gym I miss Phil Jackson coaching And most importantly I miss Kobe doing his thing
Thanks for the YT algorithm, this series still makes me touched. The defense and competitiveness is real, no matter how the league have changed, it still brings me back to that perfect era. We miss Kobe so much… From 2023.
Man remember when he got drafted and traded to the Lake Show….97 vs the Jazz….to Shaq….then the rebuild….the grind…then Gasol Odom Artest Ariza….Lol Phil fkn Jackson……first 3 were awesome, the last two were truly earned….special time and place…
As a Kobe-Generation person growing up watching the Lakers golden days with Kobe Bryant, this is the best Lakers game ever I watched. This will never be forgotten.
7 game series? Pau gasol? Nope! Kobe average 25 plus points in this series... on in game 7 run out of fuel.u cant give a finals mvp on 1 game.kobe desereved the trophy
Ernesto Diaz this is only the highlights not the whole game..watch the whole game instead of yelling your ass in a youtube comment without knowing the whole detail
Damn...I was at my 8th grade end of year awards when this game was on...I got home and remember rushing to turn onto abc and it was end of 3rd quarter....gives me chills seeing Kobe extremely focused and intense
They got favored by the refs, it was so bad, Lakers should have lost this game, all those BS fouls that weren't fouls, put the Lakers on the line, unreal!
The game always bring me nostalgia , the time when I was 11 years old watching the Finals at my friend’s house eating pizza. Shouting “ Let’s Go Kobe “ after every shot he made or took. Thank you Kobe for the memories you brought to me through watching you play.
Kobe Bryant won his fifth and final ring at the perfect time. Winning against the Celtics, at Staples Center, game 7, leaving the 2000s on top and leading the NBA into the 2010s and passing the torch to LeBron. And having the perfect final game, at home, 60 points vs Jazz, still showing his desire to be better than Michael Jordan, 60 points meaning 6-0 in the Finals vs also against the Jazz. Both hit game winners vs Jazz. He was just incredible at what he did.
@@michaelreyes6258 I'm starting to think these next numbers of jerseys, ages, dates, records, and shot clocks might not be a coincidence to represent Kobe and Gigi.
Every time im sad, because of the Lakers' bad seasons, I just come back here and watch these past great moments. I remember every finals games, my dad wouldn't go to work and I wouldn't go to school, just so we could watch the Lakers win championships. Despite being born in 2000, ive loved the Lakers longer than I can remember. I hope the Lakers can get back on track, and get Kobe his 6th ring. Go Lakers!!
Obviously they will come back and win more championships, I'm a celtics fan and either though we're in the playoffs I still know that they will get knocked out in the first round, I really don't even wanna make the playoffs anyway, but honestly I don't think Kobe has a chance of winning his 6th ring...if he comes back next season, that'll be his last season for sure. I'm sorry to say it bro. One day the celtics and lakers will be back in the finals head to to in another classic, amazing round of 7 series that I can't wait for!!!
Yea im a Clippers fan but I have a lot of respect to Lakers fans cause obviously they won more 16 titles I think while the Clippers never won one yet. But I have faith that you guys will win another championship
Kobe's last field goal in this game was a pull up jumper towards the elbow...Kobe's last field goal in his final game was a pull up jumper towards the elbow... Then to have Lamar outlet the ball ahead to Kobe to run out the clock...and then to have Kobe be the one to outlet the ball to Clarkson to seal the win for his farewell... Amazing.
KRplus is like a time machine for everything! Sports, Music, News, Memories, History, and all of the above! I miss Kobe & Gianna Bryant:( May they rest in peace & be remembered forever!! God bless!! Make World Peace!
REST IN PEACE KOBE! I remember being 9 years old sitting in front of the TV watching this game like it was just yesterday. May you rest in peace with your beautiful daughter GiGi! 🙏
Me too bro i remember watching this w mom n dad n my big brother who was the biggest kobe fan ever n laker fan and towards the end he yelled "THIS IS WHY THE LAKERS DESERVE TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR THIS IS THEIR YEAR" AFTER kobes clutch shot
In my opinion, the 2010 NBA finals will go down as the greatest NBA Finals of the 21st century. No one will ever touch that greatness of a series ever.
Pumpkin GuineaPig but the thing is, it doesn't had that iconic moment like other finals have. 98' had "The Shot". 2016 finals had "The Block". This game had what? "The freethrows" ???? Kobe and the crew got bailed out by the refs in this game to be honest. Its good for the business though so I'm not blaming NBA, Lakers was the most beloved team back then....
2016 Finals were way better. You had the block, game 5 Lebron and Kyrie both going for 40, back to back 40 point games by Lebron, the shot with a minute left in game 7 by Kyrie, etc...etc..... Only really memorable moment of 2010 was the shot by Artest.
@@2345allthebest Also, Kobe's job was to score the basketball. He isn't Dennis Rodman, the only reason he got 15 boards was because he couldn't do anything else.
Kobe didn’t have the best scoring night of his life. But any basketball fan can see he was still far and away the best player on the floor that night. He flat out refused to lose this game.
To tell the truth that night Gasol was the best by far, probably It was the worst Game of Kobe. But even when it was his worst game he was really important to win that night, that shows that he was absolutely the best basketball player
Kobe never gave up, missing shots but played his heart out on defence. Actually it was the clutch play of Metta World Peace (Ron Artest) really wanted that first and only championship who stepped his game up. Pau Gasol was the rebounding machine.
@@viktorcheng2061see how many times he was at the line!? Why is that... Bc Boston was playing him tough. So when that happens you do something else and he did. Boards and he nailet his fts. Goated.
For all the people saying "Kobe didn't deserve Finals MVP" just because his shot was cold in Game 7 completely ignore the fact that no one really shot well that game (look it up), his index finger was injured, and he also impacted the game in other ways like defense, rebounding and getting to the foul line. And it's called "Finals MVP," not Game 7 MVP. Before Game 7, Kobe was shooting 43.2% from the field, 37.5% from 3, and 93.3% from the line. That's great efficiency playing against great defense in the NBA Finals against a team with arguably 4 All Stars. I'm also not even including his great averages when it comes to points, rebounds, steals, assists, etc...
Rip goat we all miss and love u kobe May u and Gigi rip thanks for giving me a reason to like watching the lakers play since 2000 u were the goat and continued to be even during 2016 u the man Kobe rip
+StCShortFilms if you dont think free throws are relevant in a huge game then you dont know basketball. Not to mention the fact that he made a lot of them.
I remember, as a kid, watching these games, waking up 1-2 AM here in Poland, staying till like 5-6 AM then go to school to discuss the results with my friends. LAL vs BC rivalry - Bryant-Gasol-MWP-Fisher-Odom vs Pierce-Allen-Perkins-Rondo-Garnett was tough, competitive and inspiring. I feel these were completely different times...
I'm a celtics fan but damn, what a great series and even though there's a rivalry between us, I really like the lakers and I'm hoping for a rematch in the finals soon. Lakers vs Celtics, greatest rivalry of all time!
R.I.P Kobe "the Legend" Bryant he didn't score all the points but he rebounded and made the correct passes to get his team to win it. A real leader makes everyone else around them better.
Defense is the key.. multiple blocked shots.. neither lakers or the celtics wants the other to score both teams came to compete.. unlike now.. just pure offense with trash defense.. :(
I miss this NBA. Still in 2010 we still could enjoy having physicality, tough defense, no ball carrying, no illegal screens, no 3p no touch rule, and so on that made matches really really exciting. NBA got ruin in just 12 years.
This comment is for ALL the idiots who say "Kobe didn't deserve Finals MVP." Kobe's averages in the 2010 NBA Finals up until Game 7: • 30 Points Per Game • 7 Rebounds Per Game • 4.2 Assists Per Game • 2.5 Steals Per Game • 1 Block Per Game • 44% FG% • 37% 3P% • 93% FT% And most people that try to discredit his Game 7 performance don't even realize that he still played great defense, GOT 15 REBOUNDS AS A SHOOTING GUARD, and got to the line plenty while being very clutch and efficient. Kobe knew his shoot wasn't falling, so he used his diverse skillset and basketball I.Q to impact the game in other ways to help his team win, that's called greatness! And on top of that, EVERYONE on both teams shoot poorly in Game 7. And in addition, Kobe also had a fractured finger on his shooting hand. I find it funny how all haters can say is "Kobe shot 6-24" without acknowledging or mentioning ANY of these facts. In short, people should do their research and learn a thing or two about the game of basketball before trying to diminish Kobe's greatness in the 2010 Finals.
GTFOH Kobe shot 6-24 and grabbed 15 rebounds almost all defensive ones while gasol shot 6-16 and grabbed 18 rebounds (9 offensive). What i want to say with this is that kobe wasn't alone. He had gasol (hof lock), shooters like artest and odom, a x-factor like fisher and the most important one... Vujacic. (Kobe deserved the FMVP)
Alejandro Serrano i aint lebron fan or warriors fan or cavs fan ..but down to 3-0 and gsw won at 4-0..that is not what i fucking called “Exciting” i call that an instant game prediction
I still come to your videos and watch them. Especially the ones about Chauncey Billups. I really appreciate that you were taking a lot of subscriber requests and following through with them. You gained a lot of my respect and you still have it after all these years
Daniel Barwatt man I was a Cs fan back then I hated the lakers with a passion I cried after this game because Boston had control over this game majority of the time
Imagine being Sasha Vujacic and having to take those 2 free throws, in the last minute of Game 7 of the NBA finals. Nerves of steel.
For real. He had to be on fuckin cloud 9 after making those. You'd feel like the biggest bad ass ever, hahaha. Even if you sucked ass the rest of your career, you'd always have that in your back pocket.
So Sasha what is the most valuable thing in your life?
Well obviously making those free throws.
So that's more valuable to you than your wife and kids?
Oh, one HUUNDRED percent
Vujacic Locked in the chip.
Give him a statue in front of Staple for that.
Was thinking the same thing then and now.
The dude can perform under pressure, he was on the Slovenia national team and was a star, he’s no scrub
I’m here after Kobe passed away rip to a legend

LeBron’s in 2016 was just as good, if not better. When he blocked Iguodala like that, you know he was willing to die to win.
Best defense? They only showed a couple blocks and Kobe shootimg very contested shots.
Ernesto Diaz this is only the highlights not the whole game..watch the whole game instead of yelling your ass in a youtube comment without knowing the whole detail

One the best game 7 of all time 🔥
Damn...I was at my 8th grade end of year awards when this game was on...I got home and remember rushing to turn onto abc and it was end of 3rd quarter....gives me chills seeing Kobe extremely focused and intense
They got favored by the refs, it was so bad, Lakers should have lost this game, all those BS fouls that weren't fouls, put the Lakers on the line, unreal!
@Mrd9960 bruh don't make excuses celtics lost. They had they chance
One of the happiest days of my life. Missed grad night for this game. No regrets
Arnold Matthews lakerssss
You made the right choice fuck grad night lol
I literally can’t believe how you would feel if they lost
FUCK GRAD NIGHT HAHAHAHHAA
Arnold Matthews idk, my grad night was one of the best nights of my life 🙏🏼
R.I.P. Kobe Bryant. NBA Legend. The game will never see someone like you again. I'm at a loss of words...
You can see the trust to their teammates that is Mamba Mentality 👍
RIP Kobe Bryant 🏀🏅
Best player of all time 🏆🥇
mamba mentality 🔥🔥 6/24 fg, 0-6 3pt fg
Attempting 24 shots and only hitting 6 of them, and only made 2 assists. I can see the trust on the teammates lmao
The game always bring me nostalgia , the time when I was 11 years old watching the Finals at my friend’s house eating pizza. Shouting “ Let’s Go Kobe “ after every shot he made or took. Thank you Kobe for the memories you brought to me through watching you play.
Mike Breen is the best commentator ever this guy makes games so intense.
Just like Marv Albert NBA on NBC

Look at Sasha eyes,Stand firmly to bring champs to Lakers!Proud as Lakers Nation when watching live to this game!!!!
One of the best series of all time.... really appreciate now that I look book at the current state of the NBA.
2008-2010 was the best years of modern day basketball
JasonHoang TRUE, then the heat trade happened and it all went downhill. No more classics.
Nah I don't believe that. The Mavericks and Spurs have given the heat a run for their money
k
doctorcpa1 So the game 7 of Heat and Spurs wasn't a classic? Cmon that was one of the best finals ever
Kobe Bryant won his fifth and final ring at the perfect time. Winning against the Celtics, at Staples Center, game 7, leaving the 2000s on top and leading the NBA into the 2010s and passing the torch to LeBron. And having the perfect final game, at home, 60 points vs Jazz, still showing his desire to be better than Michael Jordan, 60 points meaning 6-0 in the Finals vs also against the Jazz. Both hit game winners vs Jazz. He was just incredible at what he did.
Checked out vs. Utah with 4.1 on the clock, passes away at 41.
Kobe jersey number 24 and his lil girl Gigi wore number 2...24+2=26...they passed away 1/26!

I can watch this over, over, and over again. Never get old. Legendary
Ron artest first championship he needed Kobe to get it for him goat
Thumbs up if you're watching this in 2015 and will be watching it again in 2016. (Lakers fans)😀
so much emotion man
I fuckin love Lakers and Kobe
rip dou, kobe is retiring
I miss the good old days 2time straight champs
me to Lakers fans and Kobe fans
+lemon lim win or lose lakers for life baby
Every time im sad, because of the Lakers' bad seasons, I just come back here and watch these past great moments. I remember every finals games, my dad wouldn't go to work and I wouldn't go to school, just so we could watch the Lakers win championships. Despite being born in 2000, ive loved the Lakers longer than I can remember. I hope the Lakers can get back on track, and get Kobe his 6th ring. Go Lakers!!
Obviously they will come back and win more championships, I'm a celtics fan and either though we're in the playoffs I still know that they will get knocked out in the first round, I really don't even wanna make the playoffs anyway, but honestly I don't think Kobe has a chance of winning his 6th ring...if he comes back next season, that'll be his last season for sure. I'm sorry to say it bro. One day the celtics and lakers will be back in the finals head to to in another classic, amazing round of 7 series that I can't wait for!!!
Yea im a Clippers fan but I have a lot of respect to Lakers fans cause obviously they won more 16 titles I think while the Clippers never won one yet. But I have faith that you guys will win another championship
Sorry for the bad English
Russel Tayson i can understand your feelings. Cz i come to see it by the same reason. keep healthy, go lakers.
Russel Tayson Why would y'all stay home if the games were at like 7 at night. smh
Thats a game 7! Every position is very intense 🔥 Salute to Mike Breen for putting the game on fire on his wild commentary.
Fisher is to goated how his shot flies in the air and knows it’s straight butter from the 3 or 2
12:57 should be the design of his statue at Staples.
I agree!!!
Yessssssss
GC I concur 100% and it’s not because I said the same thing. He did the same when him and Shaq got their first ring in 01.
I agree,too.
I love this his BACK.
I think itll be the infamous Kobe fadeaway
Ima die hard CELTICS fan but damn I Can't believe he's Retiring tonight .. THUMBS UP FOR THE GREATEST LA LAKERS PLAYER OF ALL TIME !
Yep
+Sir Charles Well, Magic said Kobe is the greatest ever to wear purple and gold but I think he just didn't consider himself.
+Miles Edgeworth and Kobe said west is the greatest laker? what's your point? they just say that to seem humble
+RogerWare Inc. True
he's not the greatest, but he is top 5 lakers of all time
dude... the second play where they fought for the rebound oh my goodness. this is the type of basketball i love to see... straight chills
The crowd cheer was giving me eargasm, the atmosphere of this finals 🔥
Watching this and Still feel like Kobe is alive.
Kobe's last field goal in this game was a pull up jumper towards the elbow...Kobe's last field goal in his final game was a pull up jumper towards the elbow...
Then to have Lamar outlet the ball ahead to Kobe to run out the clock...and then to have Kobe be the one to outlet the ball to Clarkson to seal the win for his farewell...
Amazing.
💯🔥
+bmorebruh this means Clarkson is the next great laker

Saved by Ron Artest! Kobe had below average performance in this game. Without RA idk if they won this series.
KRplus is like a time machine for everything! Sports, Music, News, Memories, History, and all of the above! I miss Kobe & Gianna Bryant:( May they rest in peace & be remembered forever!! God bless!! Make World Peace!
Became a lakers fan since 09 because of KOBE.This year,we won it for him RIP MAMBA 🐍💜💛
REST IN PEACE KOBE! I remember being 9 years old sitting in front of the TV watching this game like it was just yesterday. May you rest in peace with your beautiful daughter GiGi! 🙏
Me too bro i remember watching this w mom n dad n my big brother who was the biggest kobe fan ever n laker fan and towards the end he yelled "THIS IS WHY THE LAKERS DESERVE TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR THIS IS THEIR YEAR" AFTER kobes clutch shot
In my opinion, the 2010 NBA finals will go down as the greatest NBA Finals of the 21st century. No one will ever touch that greatness of a series ever.
Pumpkin GuineaPig but the thing is, it doesn't had that iconic moment like other finals have. 98' had "The Shot". 2016 finals had "The Block". This game had what? "The freethrows" ???? Kobe and the crew got bailed out by the refs in this game to be honest. Its good for the business though so I'm not blaming NBA, Lakers was the most beloved team back then....
2016 Finals were way better. You had the block, game 5 Lebron and Kyrie both going for 40, back to back 40 point games by Lebron, the shot with a minute left in game 7 by Kyrie, etc...etc.....
Only really memorable moment of 2010 was the shot by Artest.
@@xaviervega468 fuck lebum trash 3-6 bullshit💩💩💩💩 can't compare that 2016 trash to a real rivalry Laker-Celtics fuck outta here pussies
2005 Finals
In my mind, this was Kobe's best, grittiest game ever - Game 7 smashball, low-scoring/defense/duke-it-out... last man standing
Kobe sucked in that game... he shot 6 out of 24, had 4 tournovers, andshot 0,733% in freethrows..
@@sanderkonto297 you didn't mention the 15 rebounds
Facts everybody shot terrible this game (both teams) Kobe just took more shots I think Pau was the only 1 who shot decent if I recall
This was literally one of his worst games, lol. He didn't deserve this win.
@@2345allthebest Also, Kobe's job was to score the basketball. He isn't Dennis Rodman, the only reason he got 15 boards was because he couldn't do anything else.
Man look at that score. I'm glad I saw this defensive battle on tv rooting for LA.
Kobe didn’t have the best scoring night of his life. But any basketball fan can see he was still far and away the best player on the floor that night. He flat out refused to lose this game.
To tell the truth that night Gasol was the best by far, probably It was the worst Game of Kobe. But even when it was his worst game he was really important to win that night, that shows that he was absolutely the best basketball player
Kobe never gave up, missing shots but played his heart out on defence. Actually it was the clutch play of Metta World Peace (Ron Artest) really wanted that first and only championship who stepped his game up. Pau Gasol was the rebounding machine.
Statistically it was a rough slog of a match for every player on both teams. It was a test of wills and was beautiful to watch.
@@viktorcheng2061see how many times he was at the line!? Why is that... Bc Boston was playing him tough. So when that happens you do something else and he did. Boards and he nailet his fts. Goated.
@@tinydog5815 my guyyyyyy
For all the people saying "Kobe didn't deserve Finals MVP" just because his shot was cold in Game 7 completely ignore the fact that no one really shot well that game (look it up), his index finger was injured, and he also impacted the game in other ways like defense, rebounding and getting to the foul line. And it's called "Finals MVP," not Game 7 MVP. Before Game 7, Kobe was shooting 43.2% from the field, 37.5% from 3, and 93.3% from the line. That's great efficiency playing against great defense in the NBA Finals against a team with arguably 4 All Stars. I'm also not even including his great averages when it comes to points, rebounds, steals, assists, etc...
Kobe also scored 10 points in the 4th quarter in game 7, highest in the 4th quarter
And he had 16 rebounds as a guard. He deserved every bit of that FMVP
Lakers have arguably 5 all stars. They are on par
warriors will crushed these celtics and lakers
Inday Garutay warriors wouldn’t last with this defense played game 7 or the 00’s
RIP KOBE I MISS YOU 😢😢😢 OF A LEGEND 😢😢 1978-2020😢😢
Rip goat we all miss and love u kobe May u and Gigi rip thanks for giving me a reason to like watching the lakers play since 2000 u were the goat and continued to be even during 2016 u the man Kobe rip

Yup CLUTCH
StCShortFilms If he missed few of those they would have lost

LAL vs BC rivalry - Bryant-Gasol-MWP-Fisher-Odom vs Pierce-Allen-Perkins-Rondo-Garnett was tough, competitive and inspiring. I feel these were completely different times...

right
what about Heat vs Spurs?
+XxNovusxX XxOrdoxX That was intense but Lakers-Celtics rivalry in the finals will always be the best
Of course the Lakers-Celtics have history going back decades while these current finals is 2 years long.

This legit brought tears to my eyes man. Kobe Bryant is so loved, and such a legend. RIP mamba and Gigi.
Man I miss Kobe.
10 years ago today on Thursday night on June 17, 2010 at the Staples Center in LA, CA. RIP Kobe Bryant
ONE OF THE BEST SERIES OF ALL TIME.
R.I.P Kobe "the Legend" Bryant he didn't score all the points but he rebounded and made the correct passes to get his team to win it. A real leader makes everyone else around them better.
Thank you KRplus for still having this 🙏
Look at the score, my goodness. I miss old school basketball.
When they scored it was meaningful
Defense is the key.. multiple blocked shots.. neither lakers or the celtics wants the other to score both teams came to compete.. unlike now.. just pure offense with trash defense.. :(
Defense is competition, hard dirty work, sweat. Offense is more about imagination and chance.
Old school....?
Old school is general words mean old oldest
I still wish that 2k includes these two legendary teams
They already have the 08 celtics.
SK yeah but they need 09 or 10 Lakers
I have the 09 and 10 lakers thru the dest roster
Its a legit roster my fave is the 09
SERIOUSLY, I've been screaming it for years this Lakers team should be on 2k, its one of the weirdest gaps in the otherwise great classic team lineup
I miss this NBA. Still in 2010 we still could enjoy having physicality, tough defense, no ball carrying, no illegal screens, no 3p no touch rule, and so on that made matches really really exciting. NBA got ruin in just 12 years.
Got tears coming out seeing how happy kobe was and a great basketball player R.I.P KOBE&GIGI
This comment is for ALL the idiots who say "Kobe didn't deserve Finals MVP."
Kobe's averages in the 2010 NBA Finals up until Game 7:
• 30 Points Per Game
• 7 Rebounds Per Game
• 4.2 Assists Per Game
• 2.5 Steals Per Game
• 1 Block Per Game
• 44% FG%
• 37% 3P%
• 93% FT%
And most people that try to discredit his Game 7 performance don't even realize that he still played great defense, GOT 15 REBOUNDS AS A SHOOTING GUARD, and got to the line plenty while being very clutch and efficient. Kobe knew his shoot wasn't falling, so he used his diverse skillset and basketball I.Q to impact the game in other ways to help his team win, that's called greatness! And on top of that, EVERYONE on both teams shoot poorly in Game 7. And in addition, Kobe also had a fractured finger on his shooting hand. I find it funny how all haters can say is "Kobe shot 6-24" without acknowledging or mentioning ANY of these facts.
In short, people should do their research and learn a thing or two about the game of basketball before trying to diminish Kobe's greatness in the 2010 Finals.
Haters only see one bad game 😅
I never knew kobe have basketball I.Q that way bricks shot is that basketball I.Q ?
Androssi Zahard your IQ is not that good.
Victor Oladipo that's an understatement
GTFOH Kobe shot 6-24 and grabbed 15 rebounds almost all defensive ones while gasol shot 6-16 and grabbed 18 rebounds (9 offensive). What i want to say with this is that kobe wasn't alone. He had gasol (hof lock), shooters like artest and odom, a x-factor like fisher and the most important one... Vujacic. (Kobe deserved the FMVP)
Rest In Peace to the G.O.A.T 😔 remember watching this with my dad when I was 10 so much excitement didn’t know how much this game meant
Rest In Peace ✌🏼 Pops and Kobe
