2K unveiled new details and features of the MAMBA MOMENTS mode coming to NBA 2K24. The game mode features 7 playable moments from the legendary career of Kobe Bryant.

From monumental individual performances to gritty, hard-fought playoff wins, players can harness Kobe Bryant’s killer instinct on the hardwood by recreating seven playable moments from his illustrious career.

“The NBA 2K24 MAMBA MOMENTS were selected to celebrate Kobe and remember how he was the most unique competitor the world had ever seen,” said Erick Boenisch, VP of NBA Development at Visual Concepts. “Our team took great care in building a realistic and authentic experience to inspire and educate a new generation of basketball fans on the legacy of the lifetime Laker that left his mark on the sport.”

MAMBA MOMENTS introduces some of Kobe Bryant’s most iconic experiences, including:

• The NBA Three-Point Record. In 2003, Kobe’s record-breaking three-point shooting performance against the Seattle Supersonics, converting 12 of his 18 attempts from behind the arc.x
• The King of Sac. Up 3-0 against the Sacramento Kings, Kobe slammed the door shut on the division rival's postseason hopes with a remarkable 48 points and 16 rebounds. At just 22 years old, the then-three-time All-Star proved that the stage wasn’t too big for him.
• 62 Points, Three Quarters. Kobe exploded for 62 points in three quarters vs. Dallas in 2005, outscoring the entire Mavs team by himself and leading the Lakers to a blowout win in the process.
• Three-Point Barrage Leads to 65-Point Game. The Black Mamba’s 65-point effort on the road in Portland propelled the Purple and Gold to an overtime victory in March of 2007.
• 2010 NBA Finals Game 7. Looking to win back-to-back titles for the first time since the early 2000s, Kobe did a little bit of everything during his clutch close-out performance against Boston.

For two decades, Kobe Bryant dazzled fans around the world with his awe-inspiring performances in legacy-defining moments. In NBA 2K24, take control of one of the greatest players of all time and recreate some of his most memorable games in MAMBA MOMENTS, a new immersive mode that retells his legendary career. 

These moments spotlight some of Kobe’s most competitive performances over his 20-year-Hall-of-Fame career.Featuring incredible performances that don’t always get the spotlight, MAMBA MOMENTS demonstrates Kobe’s legacy to a new generation of NBA fans. From the early 2000s to his fifth NBA championship, recapture Kobe’s greatness and harness his tenacious nature on the hardwood.

2001 Western Conference Semifinals, Game 4

Up 3-0 against the Sacramento Kings, Kobe slammed the door shut on the division rival's postseason hopes with a remarkable 48 points and 16 rebounds. At just 22 years old, the then-three-time All-Star proved that the stage wasn’t too big for him. Dissect the Kings’ defense with Kobe’s blistering speed and crash the boards in one of No. 8’s most memorable games.

Kobe Sets NBA Three-Point Record

Long before Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson made three-pointers cool, Kobe delivered a three-point performance unlike anything seen before. Against the Seattle SuperSonics, the Los Angeles Lakers guard knocked down a then-NBA record for most threes in a game, converting 12 of his 18 attempts from behind the arc. Let it fly from three-point land and recreate the magic from that electric night in 2003.

The Mentee Faces His Mentor

From the moment Kobe set foot in the NBA, he was unafraid to go toe-to-toe with Michael Jordan every time they met, whether it was a regular season game or the All-Star Game. Go head-to-head as Kobe against his idol and mentor, MJ, and deliver a stunning 55 points— including breaking the Lakers team record with 42 points in a single half—en route to a commanding win.

Kobe Erupts for 62 Points In Three Quarters

No scouting report could’ve prepared the Dallas Mavericks for the offensive mastery Kobe showcased on December 20, 2005. In 32 minutes of action, Kobe took over against the Mavs, dropping 62 points in only three quarters of play. Outscore the entire Mavericks team as Kobe and put the game out of reach before the start of the fourth quarter.

Three-Point Barrage Leads to 65-Point Game

Coming into a matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers, the Lakers were on a seven-game skid—until Kobe decided that enough was enough. He put the team on his back and scored a whopping 65 points, knocking down eight of 12 three-point attempts. Drain three after three in this exciting duel and hoist the Purple and Gold to victory.

2008 Western Conference Finals, Game 5

Between 1999-2010, the Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs had nine NBA championships between them, creating a Western Conference rivalry between the two teams. In 2008, the Spurs were hoping to win back-to-back championships, but Kobe had other plans. Despite a triple-double from Tim Duncan, Kobe went off for 39 points and sent the Spurs back to San Antonio. Dash the Spurs' title hopes, tap into the Black Mamba’s 2008 MVP form, and help the team advance to the NBA Finals.

2010 NBA Finals, Game 7

Lakers vs. Celtics: one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports. Looking to win back-to-back titles for the first time since the early 2000s, Kobe did a little bit of everything during his clutch close-out performance against Boston. Endure a grueling, physical battle and will the Lakers to victory by crashing the boards and locking down defensively on the way to the title.

Each game from MAMBA MOMENTS captures the artistry and tenacity with which Kobe played, including some of his iconic mannerisms. When Kobe bit his jersey or blew on his fingers you knew he was in the zone and he celebrated milestone victories passionately with emphatic fist pumps. Remember his achievements and relive them in great detail.
