Nick Young aka SwaggyP recounts the time that Kobe Bryant tried to lock up Steph Curry. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar was in his last year in the NBA and Jeremey Lin was guarding Curry and getting cooked. Kobe Bryant went in at halftime and said he figured it out and he could guard him and shut him down the rest of the game. Nick Young and Lou Williams watched in the second quarter as Steph Curry proceeded to Shimmy on Kobe and put up numbers. This was that Kobe moment when he knew he was leaving the league. A hilarious story on the Gil’s Arena podcast.

It’s crazy, Kobe couldn’t lock Steph down but he shut kyrie uncle drew all the way down. 😂😂😂
Think about it, Kobe was 36-37yrs old and considered old. Curry 37 and still moving like he’s 29
😂😂😂😂
Funny hearing stories about both of my favorite players of all time Chef and Mamba
Then steph started doin the shimmy on kobe 😂😂😂😂💀
That’s what legends do. They always try to figure out the new generation before they call it quits.
Footage says Steph killed Kobe too. Nick, footage is available, stop lying 🤣
Kobe gave three people props kd, curry, and buddy he got the eye for it buddy just need to get out his head
If kobe was 36 steph woudve been 25
Before his story the coach there said they didn’t go with the game plan Kobe was suggesting. So It sounds like shaggy telling parts of the story and not the entire thing
Kobe know Curry is a Bad Man all the time Lol. Let's go Warriors will Win the Championship this year 2025.
Kobe and Stockon are the biggest fake good defenders in nba history
Imagine talking about Kobe not guarding Steph after his career ending injury in season 19 hahahaha
yea. he had one achilles tendon.
Only way to figure Steph out is to double team him!!
Is there a pod with Nick and Jeff Teague? Id love to hear them trade funny stories on an episode
Man, he shut him down 2nd half. Lol
He actually figured out that Steph didnt like being from the side lol I remember that video
Curry was deadass blazing Lin
hahah thats what you call team ball hahaha, anywhere else curry wouldnt be who he is, with all the cap calling him goat haha kd will always stain his shit ha
Nick always honest even if it hurt
Lex 🥰
😭😂😂😂😂😂
No disrespect but I never saw Kobe shut down Steph. I also don’t remember anyone shutting Kobe down. Great scorers are going to find a way to score.
Nick is lying. That sounds so different than Lou said it
Nick young is sell out for sure making stuff up lmfaooooooo https://youtube.com/shorts/wJ5LrtdGUkE?si=WcykXxwtPUoaW2HB
got to understand this was 2015, curry was becoming the beast he is now. Kobe was worn down and in his last year
If he got 30. That was probably 21 on Lin and 9 on Kobe.
Why she looking at me like that, i works have folded no cap
Bullshit Kobe locked curry up that game this nigga is lying he talking about that 2015 game Kobe blocked curry 3 and ripped the ball out of curry’s hand s
Well curry only 29% shooter from 3pt range against Kobe
Someone needs to slap the hell out of Nick Young so he starts talking faster…. Our time is too valuable for the stuttering motherfuk
Lou will said the opposite
Whos that girl
I remember that game Kobe did shut him down and chef did make 2 shots and hit Kobe with shammy. Kobe had little smile that whole quarter like he enjoying it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kobe Cant guard point guards ask allen i erson, Gilbert Arenas😂
Kobe guarded AI. If he was 5 years younger he would shut curry down. Curry will get away with screens though
Man coming back to this I jus wish I could see Kobe reaction to Curry Usa moment on France
I can just imagine Kobes reaction if Steph had the night night celly during those times
I heard about this moment before when Kobe said he figured out Steph. What he forgot to add was that Steph still shimmied on him after he figure him out😂
If only kobe was 29
Kobe can guard anyone.
Remember Kobe tore his Achilles against Steph.
