My favorite Kobe moment has to be when he dunked over Gerald Wallace and Kris Humphries during the 2012-13 season.

Everyone was talking about how Kobe had changed his game and was no longer the athletic beast of his prime.

This dunk, along with the subsequent dunk over Josh Smith about a month later, made it clear that Kobe could still get up.

It was one of those WOW moments for me, because I didn’t think he had that in him anymore.

Guess that’s what happens when you doubt the “Mamba.”
