Commentator: "Ohhh! What did I just see?"
Commentator: "Koby Bryant just sucked the gravity out of the Target Center!"
"Run."
"That."
"Back."
"Run that back."
"When I think about Kobe Bryant, I just think about the mentality.
Like, what he brings to the game, and the focus."
"Kobe Bean Bryant is one of the greatest players
to ever touch the court.
He is amazing. A legend."
"Me personally, I give a little extra respect to any player that's played at Rucker."
"He's iconic. The highschooler who came into the NBA as just a young kid and then
he became one of the greatest players ever."
"Okay. Oh, I remember this. Good steal by Odom - dime."
Commentator: "Off to Kobe Bryant!"
"Ohhh!"
"Ohhh. Hey!"
"Ahhh, I don't know if I can even look at this.
Is that Steve Nash trying to take a charge?"
"You don't stand a chance when Kobe Bryant's coming at you full throttle."
"Oh, Kobe...
Off the glass on D Wade. Oh my goodness."
Commentator: "Woah whoa! He banks in the three!"
"How do you make that?
Leaning, off-balance..."
"Too much natural ability... It's not right."
"Wade defended it perfectly.
He was out there way behind the line, going to his left."
"Oh, my favorite face in the NBA."
"Look at that. Mmm. The emotion."
"Young Kobe...
Oh, nice crossover... To Shaq."
[crowd cheering]
"The crossover totally got Pippen leaning."
"Scottie, ain't nothing over there.
Huh! Yeah."
"Set him up at the top. Uh, I'm not over there.
Dime. Uh! Get dunked on."
"Split that screen. Heyyy!
Run. That. Back."
"Ohhh! Oh, dude."
"He rose all the way up, yammed on him. Welcome to the league."
"Oh. Ohhh!
Oh, disgusting."
"Oh, yeah. Oh!
See, that was like a crazy Street Fighter combo.
Commentator: "And the foul!"
"So many things happenning. So he goes behind the back, spin...
Behind the back, and..."
"Uh, behind the back. Uh, spin off you.
Uh, hit him. And one. I see you, Turiaf."
"That Mamba mentality is just like, everybody gets killed.
Like, if you don't have that mentality, you won't survive.
It's like you're in the jungle."
"Everything that he did was sexy as a basketball player.
And that's what I loved to watch
is the beauty within the simplicity, and the footwork and level of detail orientation that's involved."
"He emulated Jordan. He would walk like Jordan,
chew his gum like Jordan."
"He's going baseline."
Commentator: "Buckle up for Kobe Bryant!"
"Ohhh, man. Everyone thought they had him.
Nobody had him."
"Take off under one side of the basket, finish on the other side. Uh!"
"Every other player would have just laid it up. Some jelly layup.
No. He dunks it."
Commentator: "What a play!"
"Oh. Good pass, Robert Horry.
Oh, behind the back. Ohhh!"
"This is my favorite play. This is what I think of when I think of Kobe."
Run that back, run that back."
"Oh, here it is. Behind the back, 360.
Ohhh! I knew it was coming."
"Number 8 Kobe, so fun to watch.
So much athleticism. That's a hard move to pull off right there."
"Oh, yes. Oh ho ho!"
"Step cross. Skip through that lane! Step up."
"Haaa!"
"The crossover was so lethal, too.
You have to focus on what leads up to before the dunk, too."
"The reactions right here after this cross...
And then just takes off, takes the elevator up."
"Defensive play.
There it is, and here comes Kobe.
I think this is the two-parter. 'Cause that was a good play to tie it up.
Hugging Smush Parker."
Commentator: "A one point game."
"Look, he doesn't back down from any shot.
At the buzzer!"
"Look, look. Haha! I knew it was coming."
Commentator: "At the buzzer!"
"Whooo!"
"Made me feel like I made it."
"Who can forget the night that Kobe Bryant went off for 81?"
"He almost had a hundred. Everything was too easy.
Pull-up jumper... Cash."
Commentator: "Kobe's got the Laker record!"
"Oh my god. Look at him."
"Man, that's crazy. 81 points?"
"He is cold blooded. He has the Mamba blood
running through his human veins. It's insane."
