Video: Rare Kobe Bryant, NBA highlights from early 2000s
By Jacob Rude
As an avid Youtuber, I’ve seen not only my fair share of Kobe Bryant highlight videos, but just about every one in existence. I’ve seen the best of the best and the worst of the worst.
Which means when I come across a video I haven’t seen before, I get a little bit of excitement. Below is a video I recently found compiling some of the best plays of the 2002-03 season. Bryant is featured in a big part of the video, beginning at the 1:16 mark.
In the video, young Kobe Bryant is dominating and dunking on every opponent. The 2002-03 season was one of Kobe’s best as he averaged 30.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.9 assists on his way to the All-NBA 1st team and the All-Defensive 1st team, his first time being on both 1st teams in the same year.
To think that this was 10 years ago and Bryant is STILL posterizing players is an amazing thought. You really have spoiled us, Black Mamba
