[Highlight] Kobe Bryant goes behind the back, sends two defenders crashing into each other and then drains the three (2000, First Round Playoffs - Game 3).
For the few people who glaze him because of his crazy highlight plays, this less than 2 minute clip perfectly encapsulated the White Chocolate experience.
Which was why the Sacramento Kings immediately went to their most successful era after they traded him for the “less spectacular” but a lot steadier presence of Mike Bibby.
The NBA Champion* White Chocolate experience
Yeah Jason was a liability on defense at times. He could never stay in front of his guy.
He did shit for offense too, he had one glowing year as a rookie, then once everybody figured out his bag he became just another pg that couldn’t shoot and made terrible forced passes.
i mean, this goes too far the other way too. once he got traded he learned how to play under control and was a decent/solid point guard for years. dude has great handles and passing ability but didn’t have the mental game or shooting touch to be elite
yes he is overrated because of his highlights and fanfare, but he worked on his flaws and became an actual contributor
This. He was a really solid vet on the 06 Heat championship team. Him and Rafer Alston are like the prime examples of streetball style players who matured and adapted their game to have long NBA careers.
Seriously. Even as a Lakers fan he was frustrating to watch sometimes, like the dude’s highlights are out of this world fun, but he was so unreliable when it came to the “boring” stuff.
Until he got older and was good at the boring stuff in Miami.
You’re dumb for hating on your own guy lol. The OP is clearly talking about Jason Williams, not Kobe.
My guy… you’re dumb for not understanding that the lakers fan you’re responding to was talking about Jason Williams, not Kobe.
You really think he was talking about 5 time champion Kobe Bryant when referring to being unreliable at boring stuff? Dumb people are dumb because they think they’re smart lol
The problem with that is he needed time to grow as a player. He didnt play that much in college. Then he was thrown on the Kings, a team already full of better players. Bibby had a few years in Vancouver to make mistakes and grow. Not get thrown in the fire.
Man I feel like I’m in bizarro world when I see Jason get talked about like he was a top tier of… Then I realize most of the glaze comes from kids who only know him from YouTube/social media highlights and never actually watched him play
Think I’ll stick to the Jason Williams highlights mixes thanks.
Dude is one of those guys who will have you thinking he’s one of the GOATs if you watch his highlight mixes. Up there with JR Smith.
Damn near twice. Bean was that dude.
Your friiendly reminder that the Sacramento Kings were good at basketball once upon a time
And then Vivek bought the team
Posted before his haters wake up in their moms house.
Facts lol. I had upvotes on my comment until like 9 AM PST.
Kobe fans rise and shine early! Kobe haters lazy!!! ;)
😜
Age gap apparently lmaooo
Jason Williams and Tony Delk.
Oh Tony Delk, drafted by the Hornets and traded with Muggsy Bogues to GSW a couple of years later. I was excited when he was picked but quickly underwhelmed. Tony lasted a couple of seasons with GSW and played in Sac for one season.
didn’t Delk score 50 in one game? Or am I thinking of another 6’0 random guy?
Tony Delk has the NBA record for biggest margin between his highest scoring and 2nd highest scoring games.
He put up 53 points on 20⁄27 from the field and 13⁄15 from the line.
27 is his second highest scoring game. A full 26 points behind his highest scoring game.
Former record, as it was surpassed by Bam Adebayo whose second highest scoring game is 41.
Ah shit yeah I forgot haha
Mama, there goes that men.
The playoff numbers Kobe was putting up during this time were insane that’s why I hate the “Shaq carried” narrative. Kobe was legit 1b to Shaq’s 1A… In fact Kobe was outperforming Shaq in a few of those series on the offensive end
That’s just poetry in action. You can shit on the defenders but that’s an elite highlight. Steph is probably the only other guy that could pull something like that off with ease.
The cool part about it was that Kobe locked up Jwill first and then he broke two double teams and pulled up before the defense was even set. He probably could had dunked on the whole team in one play. Rick Alderman calls a timeout right away and tears White Chocolate a new asshole for trying to go at Kobe like that.
Pass to the corner for the “long two”!
Even in clips that clown jwill hes doing crazy passes lol, most entertaining player ever
Michael Jordan dribbled the ball behind his back once and the announcers reacted like they saw an alien
Gorgeous!
I love this graphic package so much
It’s the staredown for me. 🐍
i miss the 90s. we really stuck with FTA b.s. now
That defense by Kobe 💀 the anger swip for the steal, miss the ball and give up. A classic park move
Big Kobe fan, but you’re right, that was a glaringly bad defensive sequence for him. Fortunately he usually played really good D.
There’s a reason KO-BE rhymes with GOAT-B,
because he’s the 1B to Jordan’s 1A.
