Kobe & Kyrie duel in Cleveland!

Check out some of the highlights from the showdown at the Q where rising superstar Kyrie Irving squared off with future hall-of-famer Kobe Bryant! Despite 42 points from Bryant, the Cavs would win the battle behind Irving's 28 points and 11 assists.

Whenever Kobe pulls up his shorts, you know he's going at it defensively

I’m here rewatching all my favorite old Kobe clips. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 damn Kobe why you have to leave us

Modern day version of rookie A.I vs. Jordan

Kyrie is very talented, I like to watch him play, but Kobe man...

Kobe 'Black Mamba' Bryant is the best 1on1 player ever.

There is just no comparison. Kyrie will do one or two pretty tricks, but Kobe wraps you up and takes you to deep waters. The man is a killer on a basketball court.

lol Kobe scored on Kyrie 4 times. Kyrie played offense against  Kobe just one time and that time the shot was blocked by Kobe. And Kobe was 33 or 34 right there... just too good.

Yo and this is old kobe 34 35, playing a young kyrie, imagine if kobe was 10 years younger lol the man is just the greatest

Mamba to uncle drew, "don't reach young blood".

[woodah]

The only time Kyrie scored is when Kobe WASN'T guarding him

[Nelve.]

Great to see Kobe and Kyrie competing. Who cares who won, just seeing these guys play with the amount of respect they have for each other is fun to watch!

Kobe is like 33 or 34 here. Prime Kobe would decimate this team.

[chelseagrin]

That block from kobe was so satisfying.

[dhinton]

0:59-1:12 that sequence is the result of Kobe studying Kyrie's tendencies at the time. most players would have given up a layup in the first burst .... but Kobe cut that off. and most players would have taken it and gotten devoured ... but Kyrie did see that Kobe had it cut off, so he reset. Kobe anticipated where Kyrie was gonna go from there and beat him to the spot. THREE times ... the third being the blocked shot.

[akk]

there's no doubt that Kobe and Michael were the best in their generation

[austinedwards]

I love how basically both the teams let them go toe to toe. Every player was like lets just sit this one out and watch the show

[hellopeople]

Came back to see greatness. Miss you Kobe

[killthedark]

Kobe did not miss his position at all. He instantly adjusted his position in the first crossover. 1:13 Amazing

[NoOne-exsx]

At 0:35 the dribbles were synced with the bass.

[seanim]

The fact that this veteran superstar was willing to take on the 1on1 highlight like this, says all about Kobe.

[swwwagggggg]

I love how Kobe Bryant and Kyrie Irving have this friendly competition and give each other that much respect right after the game. A soon to be hall of famer and a hall of famer in the making.

RIP Mamba! One of the best! This is so unreal 'till now!
