Knowing that those two were really good friends, makes this even better.

kobe and mj have an habit of taking revenge immediatly

[DjKaneYorke]

I can just imagine Kobe SCREAMING for an ISO when he got the ball off the inbound. He was out for revenge. Nobody was getting a pass.

"He throws it down on the *ENTIRE STATE OF FLORIDA* "

Gotta love Bill Walton.

[sbuckle]

You just know Kobe wasn't going to let that fake go un-answered. Pure determination and grit.

Here after Kobe's passing. I feel like this sequence especially epitomized his game. The refusal to fail. His sheer hunger to win. Despite giving up a bucket on the previous play, Kobe's confidence never falters. The ferocity at which he attacks the rim followed by the savage slap of the backboard after he throws it down tells you all you need to know about the kind of player Kobe was. Rest in peace Mamba. Rest in peace Gigi.

“He throws it down on the entire state of Florida” 😂😂😂. We need more Bill Walton!!

Back when superstars wanted to battle against each other. Now they wanna team up and wear skinny ass jeans together smh.

[bespushkule]

Damn, back to back sick moves. T Mac was smooth af, and Kobe was vicious, with the crazy first step.

[xdivisionvision]

Watching these two go head to head in their prime were my favorite to watch

[Domk]

Did they seriously call a tech over that

[TT-zmnp]

This what I loved about Kobe that was his thing he was gonna make uu pay for what u did towards him and failure was not an option on his list, we truly lost a King but he’s still in our hearts forever! Rest in Paradise Mamba!!

[organik_individual]

The sound of Kobe smacking that back board though ...🔥🔥🔥

[dabigboss]

This is arguably my favorite Kobe highlight. Rest in Peace Mamba😞😞😞

RIP KOBE BEAN BRYANT. Second after Michael. It was a pleasure watching you play for 20 years. God rest your soul. You and Your daughter will not be forgotten

[mushy]

Love the 90s and early 2000s basketball

[pero]

This will go down as my favorite Kobe play of all time, especially the knowing the bond that he had with T-Mac. RIP Kobe.

Lost in all this: Smackin boards is unnecessarily dope🤷🏽‍♂️🤣

For all you youngins, the backboard slap was a move to put some swagger & extra emphasis on a particular play.
