@@TruthSpeaker4just think about this..if Kobe did that against better defenders as you say..what do u think Mike would have done? Mike was faster, jumped higher, bigger hands and better mid range shooter as well as better at the rim! We can’t be serious thinking if Kobe could but Mike couldn’t??? No way Mike all day!!
I saw the interview when he said it. He said no one could beat him 1 on 1 and then he said well maybe Kobe Bryant because he stole all my moves 😂 I think it was Ahmad Rashad who said they had lunch one time and debated back and forth who would win and they both ultimately agreed Jordan would because of the size of his hands. He could do things off the dribble that Kobe just couldn’t do because of the way he could control the ball with just 1 hand. Even Phil Jackson said Jordans hands is what made him better than Kobe. Jordan was also a better athlete. 10 inch higher vertical, stronger and quicker. Kobe wouldn’t have backed down though so it would of been a hell of a game.
Nah.Jordan got challenged by players after he retired in 98 and schooled them and said it.Kobe challenged him also and he nevwr said he beat kobe.Kobe is greater than people give him credit for.His shooting % was lower because he shot bad shot over 2 to 3 defenders.
They both changed the game in their own respective ways. RESPECTFULLY, they are the GOATS, and it'd be a Hell of a show, but I personally agree... In their primes, I think Kobe edges him. Much love to all 3, tho. Playing and changing the game I love, for the better of us all. RIP Mamba, gone but never forgotten.
@@jettgangbaby1145that’s perfect actually, vegeta trains like hell and has that saiyan/mamba mentality while mj is naturally gifted while still having a great mentality himself. That’s what I think always held back Kobe and vegeta is they work too hard and never let themselves rest.

Michael truly cared about Kobe. He knows Kobe looked up to him. Michael saying Kobe might take him is Michael being kind. Kobe was a beast, but Michael is the GOAT. PERIOD.
There's two full Lakers/Bulls games from 98 on RUclips. You best believe MJ and Kobe went at it both times. Heck the first game Shaq was out so Kobe kept the game somewhat close balling out. Also the game with Shaq in was a Lakers blowout win😮. Food for thought. I highly recommend the watch.

Death is a reality of life. I'm sorry that he would not be able to get the joy of seeing his kids grow up and become successful. I'm mostly sad that death robbed him of the adoration of his fans till his old age and it robbed the world of his knowledge and inspiration. RIP Kobe.
It doesnt mean its bad when a people died. We will all die. things are inevetable. Longlive or shortlive. You didnt live here to enjoy life. Having a life is still a mystery. Just be thankful.
I’m also a Jordan fan but you fanatics act like he was perfect and never mad mistakes. Kobe is telling you that Mike stole moves from players who came before him lol
I've always love how Kobe would straight tell you who's move he emulated. He not only practiced a move he constantly looked to see who did that move better and how they did it.
Anyone who is great and knows they’re great at their skill, will always be competitive to prove they’re the best and keep that spot. I understand it completely as a competitive personality.
Most exciting scorer in the game today those hard shots I always believe they’d go in because I knew how great he was RIP to the greatest Kobe Bryant and to everyone on that plane a lot of ppl miss you.
I remember when Kobe first came out and Jordan was on his way out. I love the game of basketball so i watched a lot of games and players. Evidently Kobe was next up in the NBA. My brother was a huge Laker fan. I didn't like Jordan. Not personally but because nobody could stop him. Then here comes Kobe. He would stand like Jordan, put his hands on his hips like Jordan, stick his tongue out, shoot, pump fake and even sounded like Jordan when he did interviews. I was like " Man this Kid is just like Jordan. He was a pleasure to watch but he drove me crazy just like Jordan did. You couldn't stop those guys.

💯 kobe had a deeper range & more ball handling crossover moves However jordan was more surgical with his footwork Fundementals higher vertical that made his fade away virtually unguardable.Kobe basically worked harder while jordan worked smarter 🤝
They're both 33% 3 pt shooters so how does Kobe have more range. Argument could be made that relative to league average, Kobe was a worse 3 pt shooter than MJ.
Having the passion to play against either of these two to win is almost unimaginable, you have to be very aware patient and focused, the fact he knowsike got the pull up from jerry, savage mentality.
Tbh I wasn’t uh hard down fan of Kobe before his passing cause my dad is a real Lakers fan but I cried like hell when him n his baby girl didnt make it out of that helicopter disaster I couldn’t stop tears from falling cause I have a babygirl as well and every time I think about his passing I think to myself what are you supposed to tell your child in a situation like that just crazy i just wish i could hear my dad talk his trash about Kobe again I miss those times long live the BLACK MAMBA may God rest your soul n watch over the rest of your Family

He was the Game!
He even studied the referees to learn where he could get away with a foul, lol.
