A look at Kobe Bryant’s five best moments against the Suns with the Lakers

As Kobe Bryant’s career as a member of the Los Angles Lakers comes to an end, it has become commonplace to take a look back at his many highlights and accomplishments over the years.

With all of the game-winners, posterizing dunks and impossible plays he has provided us with over his 20-year career, it’s hard to keep track of everything on the resume of a Hall of Fame career. And while the Mamba has had his fair share of incredible performances against just about every team in the Association, there are a few that have fared worse than others.

First and foremost among them are the Phoenix Suns. Since the earliest years of his career, Kobe has dominated the Suns in every way imaginable. He has racked up 11 40-point games against them, including two 50-point games, and numerous clutch plays and memorable moments. Just looking at what he’s done, it’d be hard to say that the Suns aren’t one of Bryant’s favorite opponents.

On Wednesday, March 23, Kobe and the Lakers will take on the Suns for Bryant’s final game against one of his favorite opponents. Subsequently, let’s take a look at Kobe’s top-5 moments over his career against the Suns—and hope he has one more to add to the list on Wednesday.
