Since 1996, Kobe Bryant has been electrifying Laker fans with his game-winners, game-changing plays and unbelievable circus shots. Saying Kobe takes "tough shots" would be an understatement, and we all know no player today has done it more or better than the "Black Mamba".
There's no telling how many of these shots Kobe has accumulated throughout his career, but here are 10 shots burnt into my memory banks (YouTube rules!).
Oh and if you're a Blazer fan, you might want to look away...
10. Corner Backboard Bank Shot Over Keith Van Horn
9. 4-pt. Play vs. J.R. Smith
8. Buzzer-beating Running Out of Bounds Flick Shot vs. Spurs
7. A Steal, a foul and a 3-Ptr. From Halfcourt Against Brandon Roy
6. Over the Backboard and Through the Hoop vs. James Harden
5. Turnaround 3-Pt. Bomb Over LaMarcus Aldridge
4. Sweet Fallaway Over Lebron James
3. Insane 3-Ptr. to Put the Game in Overtime Over Ruben "Kobe-Stopper" Patterson
2. Off-Balance 3-Pt. Game-Winner Over Dwyane Wade
1. 3-Pt. Dagger at the Buzzer at the Rose Garden
