@@leonardobraynen1524 Jordan also returned for the wizards in the early 2000s. It’s not “‘most” people that didn’t see MJ, that’s all I’m saying. We aren’t talking wilt chamberlain. If you were not born to see MJ, you were only about 12 when Kobe retired.
@Avocaza if the word “prime” was implied (he said most folks), what exact birthdate range are we talking about, who saw Kobe’s prime, but not Michael’s ? Let’s say Kobe’s prime was around 2006, and MJ 1992 (subjective prime dates). People born in 1986 would have seen Kobe’s prime at 20, but would have been in kindergarten and likely too young to watch Michael in his prime. However, that person still saw the end of MJs second 3 peat when he was still pretty great. really, you are talking a specific group born between 1984-1994, since people after 1994 would be 11 in Kobe’s prime.
Its the only time my kid ever saw me shed tears. Every one of my friends shed tears. Tough guys too. it's just...sadness on another level. it was nice seeing Tatum wearing a purple #2 on his arm last night. I never thought I'd see a celtic wear purple and gold during a game. best of luck to you man.
@@greatesttoeverdoit1579 your more than likely right but who would do something so trecherous that in order to hit the target you take down other innocent people women and children pure evil
When Michael Jordan speaks about Kobe, there seems to be a special place in his heart for Bryant, as opposed to other players. I'm not saying other players don't want to be the best, but Kobe was on another level. Jordan knows how much work, how much sacrifice it takes to get to that level and he seems to really appreciate how Kobe approached the game.
Yes I do agree with everything you said! There’s is just some kind of connection between them and how they approach the game! He saw himself in Kobe and like he said took great pride in knowing him! Even though MJ didn’t speak I’m glad he was there with Vanessa🙏🏽
I was looking forward to witnessing Kobe give an iconic hall of fame speech but unfortunately January 26, 2020 happened. Ever since I was a kid I’ve been looking forward to witnessing Kobe give an iconic speech. No celebrity death hit me as hard as Kobe since he was my favorite athlete growing up
Same here bro. Kobe and T-Mac were truly the first introduction to me as far as the NBA goes. I remember vividly back in the mid 2000s going to a wings restaurant seeing a Rockets v Lakers matchup here at home. I fell in love with the tenacity shown on both ends. Our boy T-Mac showing out against this guy from Los Angeles. I owe my love of the game to those two. Surreal just trying to stomach the fact that he’s gone. Kobe, T-Mac, and MJ will always hold a special place in my heart. Rest in power Bean. 💛💜
Oh how I miss old school basketball. If any one had ever told me, a Blazer fan, that I would be tearing up over Kobe someday, I'd have laughed in their face. No better man than Jordan to have the honor of inducting Kobe.
@@jakekunz5168 The game has always had energy. It's just your perspective. In ten years, players from now are going to be talking about how tough "this era" was as well. The same thing was said back in 2008 about 90's players.
It’s because back in those days every team had different styles of playing. Today everyone does the same thing, shoot a bunch of threes. It’s predictable. Repetitive. At times even boring.
There’s no one more fitting to induct Kobe than MJ. I wish to God he was here to see it. We love and miss you Kobe and Gigi. It’s honestly never gonna sink in. God bless you both 🙏🏾💜💛🕊
"He's like my big brother. I truly hate having discussions about who would win one-on-one, or fans saying, 'Hey, Kob', you'd beat Michael one-on-one.' I feel like, yo, what you get from me is from him. I don't get five championships here without him because he guided me so much and gave me so much great advice."
Could you imagine being in your prime, winning championships, and getting advice from one of the greatest to ever play the game? Kobe is a legend and one of the greatest to ever play the game.
@@tyrionlannister8 not quite, Kobe is top 5 all time and that’s facts but there’s things he couldn’t do that Mike did, MJ was far more athletic and had bigger hands which allowed him to create space and manipulate the ball much better than Kobe, combined wit the fact that his footwork and ball handling is literally what Kobe put in his game is why MJ made it look more effortless than Kobe and more efficient, MJ was also a more skilled finisher
It's because we saw him come in spectacular! Seen him get humbled and he worked through it all and became a grand champion. That's where respect comes in. And he will never lose it ever!
Jordan, Ali, Tiger...those guys seem larger than life. As if the sport doesn't exist without them. I thought of Brady he doesn't quite have that same effect/ora. But those guys really transcended sports as a whole.
The HOF induction of Kobe is gonna feel exactly like the memorial, many many tears. I just wish Pau Gasol would speak after MJ, that would be nice. Long Live Mamba. Still can’t believe this, I’m hurt forever 💔
Thanks MJ🥲I love seeing my hometown hero commemorate my favorite player 👏🏾Kobe and MJ will forever be the perfect Mentor/Protégé dynamic to me. Greatness never dies.
I know many people say MJ is the GOAT. But I was born in 94 so I was too late to witness MJs greatness. I just watch MJs previous highlights here and there through youtube. BUT I do remember watching Kobe live, and as a kid raised in LA, he was my idol. He was my MJ. I witnessed Kobe's greatness through the regular seasons and the playoffs Lakers went through and man. This one hurts. I know many people will disagree with me but to me, Kobe is my GOAT.
This is still the most emotional I've been over a celebrity death ever. Kobe was my childhood man... I've never felt what I felt when he passed. Still doesn't feel real. Always praying for his family. We miss you Black Mamba... Rest easy
Kobe wanted to be the best basketball player he can be. He wanted to be the best person he can be. And MJ realized he wanted to be the best big brother he can be to Kobe.
He played high school , Olympics , nba 20 years he gave everyday to basketball & only had 4 years away from it.. people saying the fans , family etc deserved to see him at the H.O.F no it’s him the most that earned & deserved that speech the fact he didn’t even get his time on that stage breaks my heart 💜 mamba forever 💜
Still breaks my heart 💔 Never did I ever in a million years imagine a scenario where this ceremony would take place without Kobe on this Earth Rest In Power Kobe & Gigi your Legacies live on Through Us Forever
Kobes was helping families with his black mamba camps.. him showing up to his daughters volleyball game, gets the crowd going and he would be nice and talk to people. Loved sports and love being competitive.. left us an amazing poem before leaving us.. won't be anyone like him again
The last few years, MJ and Kobe did hint that they were like brothers though. MJ said it in one of his summer camps. Gave Kobe a personal tribute in Kobe's last visit in Charlotte. Then Kobe saying what he said in The Last Dance.

How crazy is it that you grow up looking up to Michael Jordan who was the most famous athlete of all time, you study him as a high school kid, you come into the league, you take him on. Then you two share a brotherly bond that lasts over 2 decades, he becomes your mentor, and cement a legacy that rivals NBA legends but makes your own impact. Your legacy transcends basketball, and that same dude you looked up to so much, presents you into the hall of fame. Unbelievable.
Still can’t believe he’s gone will never sit right in my heart. Crazy how we can start to take things for granted. This loss feels like a close relative. I dont think I ever felt this way about a public figure passing.
If Vanessa doesn't say the HoF speech for Kobe since she wasn't an NBA player, I think the speech might come from Pau Gasol. He's Kobe's favorite teammate by far. The speech is a lot like a eulogy. Won't be thank yous.
Jordan is the perfect fit for the job, when you think of Jordan you also think of Kobe. He will always be in our hearts. 5 rings he was able to fill up one hand with rings on one team. Kobe was cold. I still can't believe he's gone growing up I wanted to be like Kobe.

How crazy is it that you grow up looking up to Michael Jordan who was the most famous athlete of all time, you study him as a high school kid, you come into the league, you take him on. Then you two share a brotherly bond that lasts over 2 decades, he becomes your mentor, and cement a legacy that rivals NBA legends but makes your own impact. Your legacy transcends basketball, and that same dude you looked up to so much, presents you into the hall of fame. Unbelievable.
I love MJ’s joke about there being a new crying Jordan meme. Bring the levity for the HOF speech, man!
We will never be able to hear Kobe’s Hall of Fames Induction speech. I wish i coulda heard his words.
The GOAT introducing his best student to the garden of Greats.
Can’t move on man, i miss Kobe so much. He was my hero. I still refuse to believe he’s gone 🥺😥
MJ is the perfect person to do it, greatness recognizing, respecting, and honoring greatness.
Kobe's Mentor and Role Model inducting him into the Hall Of Fame. I Love it
EVEN TO THIS DAY WHEN I SHOOT ."KOBEE" . REST IN PEACE MAMBA 🙏😢😢
Forever bro
Rest in peace Mamba. We miss you. Legends never die
Still can’t believe he’s gone will never sit right in my heart. Crazy how we can start to take things for granted. This loss feels like a close relative. I dont think I ever felt this way about a public figure passing.
Very well said Stephen A and Max Kellerman ❤️👏🏼
If Vanessa doesn't say the HoF speech for Kobe since she wasn't an NBA player, I think the speech might come from Pau Gasol. He's Kobe's favorite teammate by far. The speech is a lot like a eulogy. Won't be thank yous.
His dad should do it
Jordan is the perfect fit for the job, when you think of Jordan you also think of Kobe. He will always be in our hearts. 5 rings he was able to fill up one hand with rings on one team. Kobe was cold. I still can't believe he's gone growing up I wanted to be like Kobe.
Kobe ! 🏀🐐💯👌
M.J. respected kobe. He was him in his prime. I think Mike loves the fact that Kobe used his game to win 5 championships. Black Mamba forever....R.I.P.
What Jordan didn’t have, Kobe had. What Kobe didn’t have, MJ had. The 2 most skilled players of all time.
Mike had everything
@@philipstrotherjr8842 So did Kobe
@@bmfitzgerald3 Kobe's post game was not as good as Jordan's nor was he as good of a passer. Don't get me wrong I loved Kobe, but I grew up on Jordan and I see the differences between the level of certain skills they both possessed. With that being said you can't go wrong with Kobe.
@@philipstrotherjr8842 kobe did not have everything
@@christiansoldier77 I didn't say he did
Kobe Bryant....The NBA's Elite Killer!!! May you rest in Peace my brother...
And here we have Max inserting LBJ in a segment about Kobe and MJ .
Right? Like don’t mention Lebron right now, we’re talking about Kobe.
Bruh, I came here for this comment, Max would do that 🤦
yeah that glorified finals loser again
@@rjcabrera9024 kobe is def better than LeBron.... but I just wanna know whats ure reason to believe kobe is better than LeBron even tho stats show otherwise
I feel like this going to be the most watch thing in television history
In history? Come on man, Nothing can beat football. Not even this. Sorry
@@sedohema as a football fan you’re crazy if you dont think the ENTIRE world will tune in to watch Michael Jordan induct Kobe Bryant into the basketball HOF. Kobe influenced the world in terms of basketball . He’s like the biggest basketball star in Asian countries. Might be one of the most watched things in television history for-sure.
Exactly
@@sedohema hahaha how about golf? Hahaha
"And an 81 point game! 55 in the second half!"
I appreciate Steven A's tone greatly. That level of respect is more than necessary.
Man I still can’t even watch videos of Kobe Speaking, it’s still breaks my heart so much 🖤 We Love You Mamba
MJ is probably the all time GOAT, but I grew up watching kobe... He is MY GOAT... And no one can change that. Rest in peace, forever grateful.
As a old huge Jordan fan, I don't hate anyone who has Kobe as their GOAT. He has truly earned it and gets our respect.
I mean Kobe was the closest to the GOAT Michael Jordan (coming from a lakers fan) so if you have as your goat,respect
Still can't believe Kobe is no longer here. It will never sit right with me, he was supposed to be here for his own hof speech.
I consider myself a true sports, fan.I might not like different, teams or different players, but I know greatness and respect the game.I didn't like the great Montana, because he beat teams that I liked, but I knew he was dam good.Didnt like Kobie,because he was the enemy, beating up my teams, but I knew he was great.Thats just the way sports goes.
Max, your take was absolutely SPOT ON! No one could've said it any better.
What a beautiful thing legend repersented by legend 😇🙏
We miss you kobe..
You know Stephen a uses his quiet national tragedy voice he’s wants you to know the situations serious
