Twitch- https://www.twitch.tv/mjallday2k Instagram- @mj2k_allday https://www.instagram.com/mj2k_allday/ Twitter- @mj2kallday Kobe Bryant may be the most savage player in NBA history and is a guy who would stop at nothing. Sometimes that came at the expense of his opponent cause Kobe has no regard for human life. I mean, he didn’t even flinch. The 50K giveaway is out in my last video with sneakers and jerseys and as always hit that like button. If we hit 1500 likes in the first day, I’ll release a video within the next two days! Number 1 Kobe Dropped 55 On The GOAT Kobe and Jordan had a brotherly love relationship, but of course they were competitive, so when in 2003 Jordan is making his last trip to Staples Center and scores 11 points including a dunk off a steal in the first quarter giving the Wizards a lead, Kobe turned on the mamba mentality. Kobe would then score 23 straight points. He would end with a franchise record 42 points in the first half including 8 3 pointers and at one point 9 consecutive shots. Years later on Jimmy Kimmel, Kobe said that Jordan was trash talking after the dunk in the first quarter and so Kobe was not going to take that. Kobe finished the game with 55 points and the Lakers got the dub. Jordan finished with 23 and even though he wasn’t in his prime, Jordan got destroyed by Kobe and he did it to himself. I wonder though, if both Kobe and Jordan were in their primes, who would win in a 1 v 1? Number 2 Kobe 62, Mavericks 61 Kobe came off the bench for the first two years of his career and held a grudge against his coach at the time, Del Harris. Kobe would even say that he didn’t like Del. And so when he saw his old coach on the sidelines as an assistant coach on the Mavericks on December 20, 2005, Kobe had more fuel. Many people know that day for the time Kobe scored 62 points in 3 quarters when he outscored the Mavericks by himself in 3 quarters. He scored 30 in the 3rd quarter. The Mavericks would win 60 games that season and were one of the best teams in the NBA, but they had no answer for Kobe. The Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson said they tried everything but nothing worked. Number 3 Kobe Doesn’t Take Prisoners Kobe wasn’t just a savage in the NBA, he was a killer in high school too. Everyday, Kobe would take a benchwarmer on the team and play him to 100. Kobe won every single game. The worst game was 100-12, although Kobe swears he never let his teammate get to double digits. To do that over and over again, Kobe pretty much broke his opponent. Number 4 The 2009 Finals After Kobe had won 3 rings with Shaq, all media were doubting Kobe’s ability to win a championship without Shaq. To make things worse, Kobe and the Lakers had lost in the 2008 NBA Finals including the 39 point loss to the Celtics in Game 6 in 2008. Add to the fact that guys like Turkoglu were guarding Kobe and it was barbecue chicken. So Kobe came out the gates in game 1 having 40, 8 and 8 and won by 25. During the whole series, Kobe averaged 32 points, 7 and a half assists, and 5 and a half rebounds while destroying the Magic in 5 games. Kobe Bryant would get his first finals MVP and shut all his haters up because he had carried his team to a championship. Number 5 Kobe Scores 81 Kobe’s 81 was one of the best examples of him straight up destroying his opponent. The Raptors would be up ahead against the Lakers in the 3rd quarter by 18. Kobe had already been giving the Raptors the work scoring 26 in the first half but it wasn’t enough. Kobe took it in his own hands to will his team. Kobe dropped 27 in the 3rd quarter and by the end of the game, would have 81. Every single Raptors player would say that there was just no way to stop him. Bosh said that they were just watching him shoot. To me, it’s crazy how Kobe can kick it up another gear, especially when challenged and when he does kick it up another gear, I don’t think there is anyone that could guard him. I know a lot of people have Kobe in different places in their all time rankings and I get that, but let’s not forget about the time Kobe could absolutely destroy his opponent. But what do you think about these stories? Is Kobe the most unguardable player in NBA history when he’s hot? Who would win a 1 v 1 between Kobe and Jordan?

Steph Curry has reached his breaking point. It’s 2019 NBA Finals. The Warriors just lost Kevin Durant for a second time due to an achilles tear. Klay Thompson already missed game 3, leaving Curry facing a box and one. And in Game 6, when Klay Thompson goes for dunk and lands on the floor in pain, the camera pans to Curry who is sitting on the floor in disbelief And now in 2024, we saw Curry have a similar reaction, with tears on his face, not because of Draymond getting ejected 4 minutes into the game, but because of what it means. This season for the Warriors has been a disaster. And it’s finally breaking Steph Curry, but why now? Why is Curry just done with the Warriors? The Warriors made the best of the situation getting D’Angelo Russell who they would later flip for Andrew Wiggins, but man 2019-2021 were rough. 2019 because Curry and Klay were both hurt, and they went 15 and 50 but in 2020, Curry went through it for several reasons. Now if you think Stephen Curry doesn’t care, think again. He cares about what people start saying, remember Kendrick Perkins, he cares about his legacy, something we’re about to get to in 2022 but Curry who was already an NBA champion was getting disrespected and he answered by leading the league in scoring. Yes, Steph Curry without another all star carried the Warriors to an 8th seed. The hope was that once Klay Thompson would come back, maybe the Warriors could be good again. But management didn’t. They just didn’t believe that the team could get it done and wanted the team to focus on younger players. In fact the Warriors going into the 2021-22 season were 9th in power rankings by bleacher report, 13th in LA times. But Klay would come back and while he wasn’t the same old Klay, he had his moments and was good enough that Curry’s faith was rewarded. Wiggins revamped himself, players finally understood how to play with Curry, how to spot him wide open. And perhaps the most important, Steph Curry finally won his finals MVP. You can see how much it meant to him, crying on the court. And afterwards, he was talking the talk, especially to all the doubters. Well duh, when you go from kicking your opponents to punching your own teammates, that tends to happen. So another year lost in the championship window. Where most players would have lost out on hope before the first championship, and even after last season, Curry had a lot of faith in himself and his closest teammates could get it done but that doesn’t seem likely because of piece #2 the Warriors are potentially calling it quits after this season and that’s coming from the Warriors owner. It’s no secret that Klay and Draymond Green’s contracts are ending soon. Klay is up this year, Draymond next. But the Warriors paid over $150 million in taxes last year to keep this exact roster in taxt. That’s right, the new luxury tax rules made the Warriors a luxury tax repeater making them pay higher rates for going over the salary cap since they re signed their core to massive contracts. And Joe Lacob, the owner, is sick of it. He’s stated that he wants to completely be out of the luxury tax. And that’s the thing. It’s not injuries that is holding this team back right now. It’s the players and management themselves. And yes while Curry proved all the haters wrong winning a finals MVP, he has a chance to do something special, something that would cement his legacy, and that’s Piece #3, a 5th championship can put Steph Curry as the best point guard of all time. At the current moment, there is the conversation of who’s the best point guard of all time: Magic or Steph. Even Steph was asked about it he said, Now the main argument holding Steph back is that Magic has one more championship. But if that was equalized, would that mean Steph would be the best point guard? Steph, like Jordan, takes a lot of things personally. And take the words of his teammates, And apparently Jordan said that Magic is the best point guard of all time. This 5th championship puts Curry firmly in the top 10 of all time, because he’s already done the rest. He has one of the biggest impacts on the game, he’s a multiple time MVP winner, and broke countless records. The reason why we are entertaining this debate is because Steph has the full resume, he has that aura.
