Greatest Kobe Moment?

[Dom213]

For me 62 in 3 Quarters or beating the Celtics in 2010.

Easily the SUPER CLUTCH three pointer with foul ... and SHH to Spanish fans to secure America's recapturing of Gold Medal Status. And restoring our nation's place as number 1, and former glory.



Such a bad ass moment.

Horribly refereed game to keep Spain in it, but one of the absolute best basketball games I've ever watched, and it was in the middle of the night between like 2 - 4 am. I woke up everyone in the house on accident during that 4th quarter.

Kobe was UNBELIEVABLE and defacto ALPHA during the most competitive stretch of the game, when pressure was at it's highest and the games were in the balance. All the next gen superstars turned to him to carry them: LeBron, Melo, CP3, Dwight, etc.

While I didn't watch it I still experienced it.

That shot vs Portland on Ruben.

We had a power outage on our complex so dozens were gathered on one of the few apartments that had it. Some were inside the apartment while dozens stood outside the window watching the game on a big screen. All I could hear was the loud explosion of roars throughout the complex.

yeah 81 was great, but I'll never forget that moment.

81

I consider that a game, not a moment.

Kobe to Shaq

Kobe asking Jordan for advice at midcourt - master and apprentice

Buzzer beater vs the Ruben "Kobe stopper" Patterson

Crowd with Rick Fox going bananas after Kobe scored his 62nd point...outscoring the Mavs thru 3 quarters.

Buzzer beater vs Phoenix in 2006 playoffs

Celebrating after finally winning without Shaq

Hitting a dagger in Grant Hill's face, eliminating Phoenix from the WCF; tapping Alvin Gentry on the leg right after making the shot

Saying he got 1 more than Shaq immediately after beating Boston.

Kobe hitting a game-winner/scoring his 61st point against Utah in his final game; Shaq, a bunch of his former teammates and celebrities in AWE.

Nothing tops this moment imo. Just listen to the crowd. Not to mention Kobe scored the previous 4 points for the Lakers when it was tied at 79.
