      Emmanuel Kazonis Or maybe Kobe would be a different player lol... I hate it when people speak like they know any hypothetical what if. Just because the butterfly effect exists, doesn’t mean Kobe wouldn’t be where he was...
      You’re not limiting his ability, but you are subliminally. Kobe did to himself too, but that doesn’t make his reasoning right, then either. I’m sure none of us know, but we still might’ve had a Kobe Bryant.
      Doesn’t mean MJ is the only reason he reached success. And we’d never have this player to cherish. Nor did MJ invent the fade-away. Nor is he the first post up guard. He was just the first of the, I call “super athletic era.” Yeah, cool right. But it’s just a fact that after the 70s, players got more athletic.
      People group Kobe up because he doesn’t shoot like a 50s player on his fades. He shoots a FADEAWAY... HAS A KILLER MENTALITY ON THE COURT. That doesn’t mean MJ built that within him. Just because they’re basketball players... doesn’t mean their succeed is intertwined. Yes, Kobe might’ve learned a lot from MJ. But y’all speak on the subject like Kobe would be a raw prospect. Cause you’re the only one viewing Kobe as MJ.
      Sortve disrespectful in hindsight, knowing that your success is limited to seeing one player. That you wouldn’t be as great as a player without them. Who fucking knows lmao.
      There’s 7 people in the world that look like you. Probably more who think in a similar manner.

      RUclips maga ugly truth and watch the Kobe Bryant the 38 minute presentation.
      RUclips Russian vids and look at the Kobe Bryant information.
      This is all a staged hoax.
      That's why Kobe had a nike commercial where he destroys the helicopter that Kanye West was in by throwing in a detonator basket ball toward it....
      Also there was a cartoon where Kobe crashed in the helicopter fire to his stage to fake crash site and subsequent fake death.
      1st and foremost his helicopter was black and the crash site shows what looks like remnants of a blue and white vehicle Fender panel... With 2 canisters of smoke emitting white fog....
      Now if the impact they are saying in the news was a helicopter falling from the sky and disintegrated then where is the fire at the crash site? And how did the fire of the helicopter put itself out before the fire department or rescue workers arrived? Where is the black smoke at Kobe Bryant helicopter? There is an oil and fuel inside the vehicle as well as rubber tires and plastic parts they would be black smoke at the crash site where was it?
      You are all gullible fans of a satanic Freemason controlled NBA falling for a fake idols who rape girls and pay them to get out of court to get back on the court.
      The world is a stage and narcissistic ego archetypes run the human herd with "entertainment" And archaic codes so called laws.

      Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

      Very true. I'm the least athletic person you'll ever meet and I have basically no interest in sports but when my mom told me "Kobe Bryant just died!!" I was like "WHAT?! ....no way...." and thought it was a hoax. I was bawling my eyes out watching his memorial. He's just one of those names/people you always hear about and have an appreciation/understanding of their cultural impact. I'll always remember the boys in middle school (circa 2004-2007) would shout "KOBE!" whenever they'd toss something into the trash lol. He was sorta omnipresent, never would've thought he'd go like this.

      The saddest thing is Kobe was supposed to live longer than MJ. I fuckin hated Kobe Bean Bryant but grew to respect him, and his ethic. He finally became aware once he gained that glory he knew he could achieve. He absolutely gave back with security the way he praised players, which he lacked at a young age (I'm same age as him so I know when a guy is a BSer). I was genuinely touched by Kobe's passing.

    Kobe was the basketballing son MJ never had, and lost.
    Edit: to those offended I want to clarify I don't know anything about MJ's children, and by basketballing son I also felt Kobe was, despite everyone else, the only MJ competitive and winning character alike he had the chance to embrace, "sponsor", support and witness succeed. The only player MJ could see himself and his ever known unhuman winning and competitive force reflected. Reflected or even surpassed. That along with seeing him go.

      @@johnstarks8831 when you wanna say good morning, but it's afternoon, it's too late. You are too late to say good morning. It's an analogy for death because it's too late to do anything with them as soon as they have passed. You want to see their eyes alive and well. You want to say hello to them, but it's afternoon. Until the next day, you cannot say good morning. Until the afterlife, you cannot be with them.

    10 seconds into his speech and the GOAT is already in tears. Their bond was one only THEY understood…
    For once, MJ was looking at a younger version of himself. The mentality, work ethic, passion, drive, the killer assassin within, and focus and love of basketball was literally why Jordan said about Kobe, “He’s cursed as much as I am.”

      Big. Big facts. It was all there on the court I could SEE Kobe and everything he was while he played, everything he could be.
      Yelling 'Kobe' on those 3's is gonna hit different, thats for sure. Hope his legacy helps create something that inspires and brings joy on a grander scale than himself. He'd love that ha

    Michael Jordan blew me away with this speech.He has never been the kind of person to open up and show emotion or vulnerability.This was a great tribute and expression of their friendship.It’s been eighteen months since Kobe’s and Giannas passing and it still a raw emotion and feeling of disbelief that a person with so much passion for life and the desire to inspire others to be the best version of themselves can be ripped away from a world he had just started to let see who he really was.

      I think that’s a misconception. Jordan had never been afraid to show his vulnerable side. Look no further than his 1st championship celebration and his 4th which he won on Father’s Day after his father had been murdered a few years prior. To me that’s what makes Jordan a special athlete: he displays a variety of emotions showing people than men can express emotions other than anger.
