The 9-Game Streak That Made Kobe An All-Time Great 🐍

9 straight games of 40 or more points! Flashback to February 2003. Kobe Bryant was a 3-time champion, but 0-time Finals MVP. This was Shaq's team, and Kobe was the 2nd option. He was already a prolific all-star, but did he have what it takes to be the 1st option on a team? It may seem like a silly question today, but I can assure you this was the talk around the league back then. Kobe silenced all doubters and opened eyes around the league when he went on this 9-game barrage of scoring 40+ points in every matchup. After this 18 day stretch, people had changed their opinions on Kobe. He had leveled himself up and evolved into a different player. This was no longer "the 2nd option". He was the Franchise. This all took place in the 2003 era of NBA defenses where it was much harder to score in. That makes it all the more impressive. 🏀 GET NBA LEAGUE PASS TODAY by clicking my referral link that also directly supports my channel! : https://nba.sjv.io/c/5769239/1490605/... 🔔 If you need more quality NBA Highlights in your life, you better SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/MaxaMill... 📩 Business & Contact Info: https://linktr.ee/maxamillion711 🏀 NBA clips licensed through partnership with NBA PLAYMAKERS #NBA #Lakers #kobebryant 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:10 - 46pts vs Knicks (2002-02-06) 00:08:22 - 42pts vs Nuggets (2003-02-11) 00:15:16 - 51pts vs Nuggets (2003-02-12) 00:21:43 - 44pts vs Spurs (2003-02-14) 00:26:56 - 40pts vs Knicks (2003-02-16) 00:31:41 - 52pts vs Rockets (2003-02-18) 00:42:02 - 40pts vs Jazz (2003-02-19) 00:49:50 - 40pts vs Blazers (2003-02-21) 00:55:30 - 41pts vs Sonics (2003-02-23) 01:02:36 - Thanks For Watching!!
