Well MJ and Kobe did have a great relationship. Since Phil came to the Lakers 1999-2000 season. Phil Wrote in his Book about it and had MJ reach out to Kobe from time to time.
@@jassangha1062 They both have talked about each other respectfully be it basketball or just life in general. My question to you is why would either waste airtime/breath congratulating or complimenting if it wasn't real?
Nothing but respect for Kobe. Cant knock a man that gives his all to whatever he does.. He was truly a great player and should be remember as such. He inspired many in others sports and in life with his work effort. Champion forever.
And Kobe probably did work harder than MJ, but MJ also was one of the hardest worker and had MORE talent. MJ was faster and could jump higher and they both had immense talent. Respect to two GOATs.
Kobe is my favorite player and my greatest motivator. The only regret that I have is to not meet him before he passed. Time will go by but I won’t forget you. RIP my goat.
Reading the last text messages between MJ and Kobe is really heartbreaking. I can understand why MJ cried so much last year. They really were like brothers from another mother.
Mike and Kobe were like Yoda and Luke. Mike damn near compliments NO MEN, and he's willing to say Kobe is good. Mike can joke and say Kobe stole his moves but there's a reason Mike liked Kobe so much, Mike knew he was raising a monster.
Kobe Bryant is the reason I ever picked up a basketball 🏀 I used to play football before then I watched Kobe for the first time every since then I fell in love with the game and now I’m a professional playing in the France Euro league
@@michaelwest2405 I’m not disrespecting Kobe at all bro I’m a fan. Just saying that MJ is deeply hurt by Kobe’s unfortunate demise. The way he talked about Kobe was much deeper than just a BROTHER in my eyes. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, if that makes any sense.
I agree MJ was more of a father figure towards Kobe than big bro little bro. Shaq was like a big bro little bro relationship with Kobe. Idc what no 1 says, no disrespect to Kobe’s father and MJ’s sons but it makes to much sense
@@jamalwalker no doubt I agree magic bird and Russell came in that area first before Mike and Kobe stepped in even though Mike went up against bird and Magic
The creepy thing is, Kobe even talked and walked like mike. Kobe’s most famous quote „jobs not finished” is by Michael aswell. He said that during the run in 97 or 98 lol
Michael Jordan was in-between the 3-PT unlimited range era and the high-flying dunking era. When you watch MJ play in slow motion, it's like looking at art. There was so much beauty when he flew in the air.
I don’t advise most humans to meet his threshold of pain. If your broke your finger it’s okay to sit out a couple of games. Kobe was maniacal in a good way 😮
Agreed. I love seeing the all star game audio where you hear kobe asking Jordan questions about his game and Jordan answered the questions. Blew my mind when I first saw this years ago. I never expected to see Jordan do that.
You know it’s genuine and serious If MJ himself is saying this. He NEVER admits to weakness or say a person is better than him at anything. RIP Kobe. Respect to MJ.
MJ and Kobe are my favorite players all time. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and can have their own favorite player. MJ and Kobe played with such grace, their footwork was second to none, and their midrange game was unstoppable. To think that they dominated the game without really depending on the 3 point line is crazy. Kobe used it a bit more than MJ, but nothing compared to what the players are using like today.
Not on MJ, on the bulls bench. That game you talking about was a blowout by the bulls. 18 of the 30 came on garbage time. Y’all little youngins like creative Kobe narratives.

From the 🐐 himself to almost every player ranking Kobe top 5 to even the owners who started complaining when CP3 was supposed to play with Kobe and had the trade vetoed. It’s only the media that disrespected and still sometimes disrespect Kobe because he didn’t give them a lot to work with. Kind of a similar thing is going on with Kyrie right now but obviously he’s not on THAT level.
i agree. the media and everyone always wanted mj to be the goat so they always elevated him no matter what. the media and fans throughout the country besides in LA didn’t want kobe to be the best so he will never be looked at as that because people denied him that respect when he was alive.
Yes because it wasn’t the normal show dynamic of one guy has to be pro Lebron and the other has to be pro Jordan. I’m sure Shannon thinks both are basically at the top. I wouldn’t be surprised if Skip actually believes Jordan is better though. We all know Jordan was a competitive God. He just had a different level of focus.
Jordan and Kobe are the proudest players ever to play basketball. No one else looked like them. Always moving and always playing in a way that signals skill and domination.
@@Superfly369 both mike and kobe have called each other brothers, kobe saying mike is his big brother and mike says kobe is his little brother. They've both said it in multiple interviews.
Kobe also didn't need to be carried off after he tore his Achilles. I believe he did cry when he found out he tore it. And Kobe held back tears in 2008 after Lakers lost by 39 to the Celtics.
Kobe didn't just want to be like Jordon, Kobe wanted to be the best to ever play the game. and he thought that learning from Jordon would help him become that. and training relentlessly would make him even better than Jordon ever was. and I do think that Kobe at his best was maybe even better than Jordon. like in the playoffs when the Lakers swept a very good Spurs team. Kobe was just amazing, and winning two titles with Gasol who wasn't at the level of a Scottie Pippin. Personally I think Kobe and Jordon were both amazing and I can't really put one above the other. every great player is great because of the players that came before them. and that is why basketball players of today are better than basketball players of the past. but I wish the game could somehow figure out a way to make the two point jump shot relevant again. and I think some of the old way of playing and rules were better. now its all cut to the basket and dish out to the three point shooter. Go Lakers
Was able to see Kobe and Heat Era LeBron play in person during the lockout shortened season. LeBron played well and the Heat were impressive but when Kobe came to town he made the whole building electric. Kobe (wearing the black face guard) buried a buzzer beating shot. I’ll Never forget that night.
I remember that!! Kobe > Lebron imo! FEARLESS! Lebrons afraid to miss so he never shoots when his team's down, he only shoots if the game is tied or they are up 1 score.
@@ludvigwittgenstein6469 are you sure because the statitistics say lebron does buzzer beaters and go ahead shots the best, but hey just go off why don't you.
@@xaviervega468 Playoff winners are circumstantial. Bron's hit more playoff winners than Bron too, doesnt make him better, or even more clutch (smaller sample size). Winning RINGS is clutch. Lebron's proven over and over that he will shy from the moment if his team is down. He'lll only shoot it if his team is tied. He aint clutch bro. Everybody knows this. Hence why NBA GMs, when polled, picked Kobe as the guy they'd want to take the last shot in a game...for 9 years STRAIGHT before Durant - and then Curry - took that mantle amongst NBA GMS...Who know a thing or two about hoops. Lebron aint clutch.
in a way Kobe's passing was a way of teaching Jordan to loosen up a little & allow himself to be vulnerable. Jordan spent Kobe's entire life teaching him...but Kobe gave him the final lesson in life.
They understood each other better than most likely anybody else. They knew about the struggle of pushing yourself to beyond limits. The loneliness of being great. Learning how to turn it on and when to trust your teammates. They both went through public "scandals." Which I didn't think about until today. It really was like a father son relationship. Its amazing how we never knew how close they were.
I AM JUST A SIMPLE PERSON. I SAW MJ AND KOBE'S NAMES (MY NO.1 AND NO.2 PLAYERS OF ALL TIME) I CLICK AND WATCH AND SMILED AND HAD TEARY EYES REMEMBERING THE LATE KOBE.... GOD I MISS THE MAN SO MUCH! A QUOTE OF HIM HELPED ME SO MUCH IN OVERCOMING ONE OF THE GREATEST TRIALS OF MY LIFE. Life is too short to get bogged down or be discouraged. You have to keep moving, you have to keep going. Put one foot in front of the other and keep on rolling.” - Kobe Bryant. Rest in PEACE! you will always be immortal in my life!
@@SuperIcecold94 lol lebron wanted to be Jordan too (like every other basketball fan whoever existed) he just didn’t have the skill set to do the job, he’s more like a magic who can score better
@@BigHomieET everybody wanted to be like Mike who grew up watching him and Bron was an AI fan growing up.. and you saying Bron ain’t have the skill to do so is a slight against along with saying he’s magic that can score.. He’s his own player.. not a copy of anyone in his history with his combine athleticism, vision and passing abilities, finishing at the rim, defense, and durability..
This is probably the greatest sports rivalry/relationship/familial bond ever formed in my opinion. You can't replicate the chemistry and bond they both had.
The Flu Game or the Food Poisoning or Bad Pizza Game, Jordan hits a three after Bryon Russell covered Scottie for no apparent reason. MJ had also key rebounds in that Game 7 vs Indiana. He hit FTs late to ice the Blazers in '92.
Michael Jordan's story is fairytale after fairytale. He's folklore. In 100 years, people will still be wearing his shoes like people still wear Chuck Taylors that were first released over 100 years ago. MJ is Star Wars and Superman. Forever.
Mj and Kobe was the unguardables along with The Dream but there will never be another Kobe he either 1 or 2 all time period you talk skill, foot work he was a master no one ever could compare.
I've always said this. Doesn't mean Mike wasn't tough; he absolutely was. But this is the Mamba. We literally all apply the "Mamba Mentality" to our lives everyday. Respect to Mike, but Bean was simply a different breed.
Michael Jordan also mentioned he cried watching Iverson's documentary and said he loves that little guy. Michael Jordan is the basketball GOAT but he's also the GOAT with crying in public.

I'm still combing through Last Dance footage tryna find Skip "I was there" Bayless 🥴
Haaaaa!
🤣🤣
Lmao this is hilarious but Skip was a Chicago sports reporter so he was there
Rent free 😂
🤣🤣🤣
From the 🐐 himself to almost every player ranking Kobe top 5 to even the owners who started complaining when CP3 was supposed to play with Kobe and had the trade vetoed.
It’s only the media that disrespected and still sometimes disrespect Kobe because he didn’t give them a lot to work with. Kind of a similar thing is going on with Kyrie right now but obviously he’s not on THAT level.
agreed
i agree. the media and everyone always wanted mj to be the goat so they always elevated him no matter what. the media and fans throughout the country besides in LA didn’t want kobe to be the best so he will never be looked at as that because people denied him that respect when he was alive.
I think this is the 1st time I've seen Shannon talk in a positive light towards MJ
Yes because it wasn’t the normal show dynamic of one guy has to be pro Lebron and the other has to be pro Jordan. I’m sure Shannon thinks both are basically at the top. I wouldn’t be surprised if Skip actually believes Jordan is better though. We all know Jordan was a competitive God. He just had a different level of focus.
2nd greatest player of all time isn't positive talk? damn.. Skip has lebron barely in the top 10 😂
Check out when shannon met Michael he doesn't hate mj but skip makes him have to talk like that because of how skip talks about lebron
Kobe ! 🏀🐐💯🔥
Jordan and Kobe are the proudest players ever to play basketball. No one else looked like them. Always moving and always playing in a way that signals skill and domination.
Kobe never gave Black Jesus the Judas treatment. He was a loyal little brother.🙏🏾
Little brother ? More like sensi and student
Jesus is black
@@Superfly369 both mike and kobe have called each other brothers, kobe saying mike is his big brother and mike says kobe is his little brother. They've both said it in multiple interviews.

Brons lookin like a proud father
Rip Kobe my favorite basketball player ever love ya Kobe and Jordan 1and 2 best players n nba history
Kobe 24 FOREVER! The 🐐 after the first 🐐
Kobe will forever be my favorite player n the reason I love basketball n my work ethic mentor. Love ya Kobe n Gigi❤️
1:29 “Kobe’s homegoing” 😭
When u look at Kobe story and how the world tried to break him . You can actually make an argument for Kobe .
Jordan and Kobe had that Zoro/Mihawk relationship.
That's one of the best anologies to be honest.
The man score 81 points in one game i can't even do that on PlayStation
🙏Kobe Bean Bryant was a Beast
One area that Kobe exceeded in was his attention to his family.
Preach
🤔
Eh, to his daughters maybe, but there dang sure were reports of Kobe sleeping around
Mostly after he retired. When Kobe was active he was obsessed with perfecting his game, and that took a lot of time away from the family.
Well kob did have all girls unlike mj
I remember when I was giving Kobe his flowers when he was alive..And I got attacked now all of a sudden people acknowledge Kobe greatness
Imagine if Kobe decided to hop from team to team and ring chase. He would have 9-12 rings easily.
But he didn't have that soft Leflop mentality 💯
🤣🤣🤣. Dead. He was def bout to roll out until they brought in Pau
@@MrChazb1987 but did he lol
9-12 rings 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly and that's why lebron overrated, and not even close to being the goat
MJ is too awesome. Love how he can admit that
Skip knows he hurting 😂😂
😢 I cried then and still tear up now 🤦🏽♂️ my 🐐
Props to Shannon for making it thru a segment without mentioning LeFraud
Just realized this lol
Kobe also didn't need to be carried off after he tore his Achilles. I believe he did cry when he found out he tore it. And Kobe held back tears in 2008 after Lakers lost by 39 to the Celtics.
Being carried off would have been smarter. How much more damage you think Kobe did walking on a torn Achilles?
Kobe didn't just want to be like Jordon, Kobe wanted to be the best to ever play the game. and he thought that learning from Jordon would help him become that. and training relentlessly would make him even better than Jordon ever was. and I do think that Kobe at his best was maybe even better than Jordon. like in the playoffs when the Lakers swept a very good Spurs team. Kobe was just amazing, and winning two titles with Gasol who wasn't at the level of a Scottie Pippin. Personally I think Kobe and Jordon were both amazing and I can't really put one above the other. every great player is great because of the players that came before them. and that is why basketball players of today are better than basketball players of the past. but I wish the game could somehow figure out a way to make the two point jump shot relevant again. and I think some of the old way of playing and rules were better. now its all cut to the basket and dish out to the three point shooter. Go Lakers
I am honored to see both players in there prime....two legends ...when kobe joined the NBA I knew he would be on the level of mj
Was able to see Kobe and Heat Era LeBron play in person during the lockout shortened season. LeBron played well and the Heat were impressive but when Kobe came to town he made the whole building electric. Kobe (wearing the black face guard) buried a buzzer beating shot. I’ll Never forget that night.
I remember that!! Kobe > Lebron imo! FEARLESS! Lebrons afraid to miss so he never shoots when his team's down, he only shoots if the game is tied or they are up 1 score.
@@ludvigwittgenstein6469 are you sure because the statitistics say lebron does buzzer beaters and go ahead shots the best, but hey just go off why don't you.
@@ludvigwittgenstein6469 Lebron hit more playoff game winners than Kobe did.
@@xaviervega468 Playoff winners are circumstantial. Bron's hit more playoff winners than Bron too, doesnt make him better, or even more clutch (smaller sample size).
Winning RINGS is clutch. Lebron's proven over and over that he will shy from the moment if his team is down. He'lll only shoot it if his team is tied. He aint clutch bro.
Everybody knows this. Hence why NBA GMs, when polled, picked Kobe as the guy they'd want to take the last shot in a game...for 9 years STRAIGHT before Durant - and then Curry - took that mantle amongst NBA GMS...Who know a thing or two about hoops.
Lebron aint clutch.
@@jakelongize there’s more to it than stats
Kobe da greatest athlete of all time!
Kobe was baby bro to MJ! Man..mamba mentality for 20 years. 🐍
in a way Kobe's passing was a way of teaching Jordan to loosen up a little & allow himself to be vulnerable. Jordan spent Kobe's entire life teaching him...but Kobe gave him the final lesson in life.
My 2 goats 🐐 🐐
💯
They understood each other better than most likely anybody else. They knew about the struggle of pushing yourself to beyond limits. The loneliness of being great. Learning how to turn it on and when to trust your teammates. They both went through public "scandals." Which I didn't think about until today. It really was like a father son relationship. Its amazing how we never knew how close they were.
Well said!
THIS was the one I was waiting on cause NOW we start telling the truth😂😂😂
💯
Facts 💯💪💯
BINGO
Will Smith said "To Be The Best You Have To Imitate The Best" Kobe watched and learned from the best (Jordan) and that what made him so great.
Just look at the reverence given to Kobe by other players and it's clear how important he was to the game.
I still can’t believe Kobe is gone.
Only reason I like kobe he reminded us of Mike
I AM JUST A SIMPLE PERSON. I SAW MJ AND KOBE'S NAMES (MY NO.1 AND NO.2 PLAYERS OF ALL TIME) I CLICK AND WATCH AND SMILED AND HAD TEARY EYES REMEMBERING THE LATE KOBE.... GOD I MISS THE MAN SO MUCH! A QUOTE OF HIM HELPED ME SO MUCH IN OVERCOMING ONE OF THE GREATEST TRIALS OF MY LIFE.
Life is too short to get bogged down or be discouraged. You have to keep moving, you have to keep going. Put one foot in front of the other and keep on rolling.” - Kobe Bryant.
Rest in PEACE! you will always be immortal in my life!
“Jordan woke up at 4am so Kobe woke up at 3am” LMAO this is why I love this show!
While lebron wakes up at 2pm bcuz he dont need to be good, he'll just build superteams to win
Just hearing others opinions of the greatness Kobe carried himself with is special. I was always a fan of his because of that drive he possessed.
I've watched games where almost the entire arena booed Kobe and he still performed at a high level. He was as tough as they come. RIH Kobe 🙏🙏
This proves KOBE was and is TOP 5 GREATEST EVER 🐐 🏀
We all know Kobe took what Jordan ddid and perfected it in the era where there was more talented athletes !!! GOAT 🐐
Kobe has ZERO case for being better than Jordan.
Kobe was the best at taking over a game
Jordan was easily better at it.
Shannon act like lebron didn’t take Jordan’s whole number 😂
Also Space Jam 2 😂
A number ain’t the same as copying someone’s whole persona on and off the court
@@MrGenexxx facts
@@SuperIcecold94 lol lebron wanted to be Jordan too (like every other basketball fan whoever existed) he just didn’t have the skill set to do the job, he’s more like a magic who can score better
@@BigHomieET everybody wanted to be like Mike who grew up watching him and Bron was an AI fan growing up.. and you saying Bron ain’t have the skill to do so is a slight against along with saying he’s magic that can score.. He’s his own player.. not a copy of anyone in his history with his combine athleticism, vision and passing abilities, finishing at the rim, defense, and durability..
This is probably the greatest sports rivalry/relationship/familial bond ever formed in my opinion. You can't replicate the chemistry and bond they both had.
The Flu Game or the Food Poisoning or Bad Pizza Game, Jordan hits a three after Bryon Russell covered Scottie for no apparent reason. MJ had also key rebounds in that Game 7 vs Indiana. He hit FTs late to ice the Blazers in '92.
Hangover game
Bro this is the most heartfelt, genuine Undisputed clip I have ever seen
Michael Jordan's story is fairytale after fairytale. He's folklore. In 100 years, people will still be wearing his shoes like people still wear Chuck Taylors that were first released over 100 years ago. MJ is Star Wars and Superman. Forever.
LeMickey and His STORM will be forever forgetten.
@@wordwariii687 People don't forget top 5 players in the game.
Mj and Kobe was the unguardables along with The Dream but there will never be another Kobe he either 1 or 2 all time period you talk skill, foot work he was a master no one ever could compare.
No one ever mentions how he even changed his playing number from 8 to 24 still thinking he would be able to try, and one up his big brother MJ!
24 was his first High school number🤦🏿♂️
Also because his contract with Adidas was over.
@@rontontizzy6404 Think that had anything to do with MJ? Even if it was in high-school?
@@rontontizzy6404 Kobe said it was still about being one up from Jordan who was 23
Never one up him on anything in the court
I've always said this. Doesn't mean Mike wasn't tough; he absolutely was. But this is the Mamba. We literally all apply the "Mamba Mentality" to our lives everyday. Respect to Mike, but Bean was simply a different breed.
Mike was a better player
Kobe didnt want to be mj, he wanted to learn from him to create his own monster.....the (MAMBA)!!
5>1 MVPs MJ
6>5 Chips MJ

@@batphoneuser1407 Don't forget the 6 Finals MVP's to 2 for Kobe. Kobe was great but he was NOT on Jordan's level.
Kobe was a steel hearted warrior on the court. Wow can you imagine what was next for him? Rip Mr. Mamba
Michael Jordan also mentioned he cried watching Iverson's documentary and said he loves that little guy. Michael Jordan is the basketball GOAT but he's also the GOAT with crying in public.
When ?
Man I wish could hear the stories from Kob and his conversations with the 🐐
