I like how Dirk's momentum guided him straight to Kobe. As if they were supposed to share that moment. Basketball Legends!

[Apocalypse]

Love how Kobe tells Randle "tough shot." As Kobe knows that's all you can do against the great ones.

[francisg.]

Kobe: "He's Dirk, there's no way you can defend that shot" 🙂

RIP Kobe...😔😔😔🙏🙏🙏

Dirk and Kobe both does killer fadeaways. Much respect RIP

Hopefully Dirk goes to the All Star he deserves it and will be the last time we'll see a Dirk and Kobe being All Star team mates. #legends

Damn I miss Kobe. This is just two legends sharing a moment. The utmost mutual respect, u gotta love hoops

[dustineandres]

[joeblack]

It’s crazy cuz you can see Kobe at the beginning of the video telling nick young to come help baseline side cuz he knows that where dirk wants to get to...and of course “swaggy p” doesn’t listen

Only a GOAT can recognize greatness from others. RIP Legend.

[ralphchoi]

What a beautiful moment between two legends

[SpectreInk]

Our organization has decided that number 24 will never again be worn by a Dallas Maverick - Mark Cuban. RIP Mamba. RIP Gigi. The league mourns your loss.

[rejects]

My favorite Kobe moment. (Obviously from a Mavericks fan) RIP Mamba.
