This NBA Star BROKE Kobe Bryant's Nose And INSTANTLY Regretted It

There was a time where Kobe Bryant had to wear a mask. Another NBA star had broken his nose and Kobe made him regret that. What is up dudes, dudettes, ballers, players. It's ya boi MJ. There have been a lot of players who wear the mask. There's Mask Kyrie, Mask LeBron, Mask Westbrook. It's something about that mask that's special. Kyrie had a career high 41 points at the time. LeBron dominated in a career high 61 points, Westbrook dropped a 49 point triple double. It's that tunnel vision that comes from not being able to see in your peripherals but that sometimes brings the best out of players. It simplifies the game so that you're not taking in all the information, you just focus on one thing and that's getting the ball in the basket. Kobe isn't one of those players that lets go of anything and Dwyane Wade found out the hard way. Drop a like for more NBA stories, 4,203 likes for the next one. Today is NBA 2K20 day and I'm doing the 24 hour live stream giveaway right now on the 2nd channel so after this video, come and kick it. I know 81% of you that are watching my video right now aren't subscribed, but it's 2K day so I'm not even gonna trip and ask you to subscribe. Let's just get into the story. Kobe and Wade have had a competitive relationship. Both respect each other as players and what they've done on the court. They got into a few scuffles here and there, but neither backed down. Wade came into the league admiring Kobe who had multiple championships when Wade was a rookie. Kobe called Wade for advice on attacking pick and rolls in the playoffs when Wade didn't make the playoffs. And then in 2009, Kobe hit this game winner on the heat and Wade. A ridiculous shot that left Wade asking, how did you do that? Kobe answered with a simple, mamba mentality. And then there was 2012. On February 26, 2012, the 2012 NBA All-Star game was happening. Now if you want to take a trip down memory lane, this is when a 38-year-old Steve Nash made the All-Star game. Dwight Howard was talking trash to Kobe, Darren Williams and Luol Deng were actually relevant. It was a different time. As the game is going along, both Kobe and Wade are doing their own things. Wade is throwing up countless lobs to LeBron and Kobe is making tough shots. Now this is also a time where there was some defense playing the game and so in the 3rd quarter, Kobe goes around Wade and drives the hoop. And bam, Wade fouls him, but it wasn't just any foul, Wade hits Kobe in the face. It's the first and only ever flagrant foul in the history of the All-Star game. And that hit just broke Kobe's nose. I'm not sure what prompted Wade to go that hard or not let Kobe get an easy layup. There wasn't any animosity between the two. I mean sure, they had been in countless comparisons. Both had won championships with Shaq. But this was out of character. Kobe started bleeding, but get this, he looked at it and smiled like typical Kobe fashion. He would get treated and go back in the game. The West would win, Kobe at 27 points, Wade had a triple double with 24, 10, and 10. Now the Miami Heat was scheduled to play the Lakers 3 games after the All-Star game. Wade said that he didn't maliciously hit Kobe and so he called Kobe on the phone after the game. Kobe just said, bro, I love it. Wade was shook. Here he is, having broken the man's nose, forcing him to wear a mask and the guys telling him that he loves it? And then Kobe told Wade, I'll see you in a couple days. And Wade was like, oh snap. There was already regret in his face. This is the time when the Miami Heat had LeBron James, the whole big 3 shebang. But Kobe had declared war, in the nicest way possible. Now Wade and Kobe typically guard each other in these matchups throughout their whole careers. So the Heat play the Lakers on March 4th, 2012. And after the first minute, the masked Kobe just drives past Wade. And then he does this. He was just destroying Wade. Fadeaways, contested jump shots, leaners, just shooting over everyone. I don't even know what to say. Yeah, Kobe had games like this in the past, but there was something more calculated in this game. Every bump, every move was just meant to hurt the opponent. It's like you could feel the intent of Kobe through the screen. Wade had to be switched off Kobe and Badier came in. And it didn't matter. Kobe ended the game with 33 points on 61% shooting from the field and he only made 3 layups. He went 14-23 from the field and Kobe was on a mission. He wasn't going to let anyone stop him. On the other end, Kobe bothered Wade. Wade only finished with 16 points, but more importantly, he fouled out. 2 of those 6 fouls were on Kobe and Kobe kept true to his word. The Lakers won by 10 and Wade even said that he gave it to me. I think that moments like these, when a player declares that they're going to do something like win the game or come after you or make a free throw with their eyes closed and then back it up, those are special moments that just make me fall in love with the game even more. I guess the moral of the story is, don't break Kobe's nose, cuz if you do, you're going to instantly regret it. But what do you think? Where do Kobe and Wade rank all time? Drop a like for Kobe and Wade cuz they two legends. I'm streaming live right now in the middle of the 24 hour NBA 2K20 giveaway stream on the second channel.
