Michael Jordan was COACHING Kobe Bryant MID GAME, while competing against him. Holy dude! A legend receiving pointers from The Legend. RIP Kobe Bryant.
The fact that MJ responded to Kobe’s question with actual advice and not with trash talk shows that Mike knew this kid was different. Game recognize game.
Jordan was retiring and there's no need to act tough he is passing the torch. if kobe was on Jordan's era he would fcking trashtalk kobe everytime hahahaha
@@franzrivera1316jordan was not retiring yet. The game in question happened in 97 Kobe’s rookie year. The game he dropped 33 points off the bench. Jordan hadn’t even won his 5th chip yet
Yeah...that was so cool to see....mj knows that this kid kb has the potentials to become a potent player or he is the shadow of mj in terms of basketball skills....its like an older brother giving loving advice to his little brother to improve more that talent kb had !
Like Kobe said RIP him and Jordan knew well which players they can intimidate and which they can't,those player that they had same DNA in there blood as they do they can't.
By the end of MJ's run on the Wizards you know not only was seeing what Kobe was doing but hearing from Phil about what Kobe was doing behind the scenes. Kobe had two avenues to pick up what would MJ be doing at this point. When MJ was a Bull and Kobe was just entering the league he was still just a kid, as talented as any kid as your gonna see but a kid. It's really cool the relationship develope to what is was. MJ knew Kobe was on his way, and no one better to pass this on too. Just as Magic and Bird did to him. It's easy to respect someone who wants what you got and willing to work to get it. It was about Rings money will come. Not many guys are like that.
For kobes first 2 seasons, I remember thinking he played like a scared little kid. He definitely did not carry himself as a veteran. In his 3rd season you really saw him gain confidence and his minutes shot to 40 per game.
@@byrongammonbyrongammon9937 I think of it more as he studied jordan. It's not easy enough to just "copy" the style of Michael Jordan. That takes a significant level of skill, training and preparation.
@@thomaswoodman6523 I always believed Kobe was the closest player to MJ but never believed him to be better or the next MJ, he was just Kobe Bryant. He's a legend in his own right. It is sad though ppl are using his death to hype up how amazing he was in life.
Kobe Bryant was asking Michael Jordan for tips on how to improve in the middle of their game against each other, which shows exactly the amount of respect he had and still has for Jordan and the fact that Jordan actually gave him tips showed what kind of a player he is, and what type of greatness he was passing on to the younger generation of players who grew up watching and idolizing him. Two of the greatest to have ever played, alongside Magic, and I'm grateful for what they have given to this sport.
+Jasmine A. M let's be honest Mj was so much better than kobe it isn't even funny and kobe isn't even the best player of his generation Tim Duncan is end of subjeect the LA hype machine.
Let's be honest you know crap shit bout bball. Kobe and MJ are almost on par give and take other than leadership but Kobe had lil more entertainment value. Duncan is good but no where near Kobe not to mention LeBron is even better than Duncan.
After Jordan left in 98 it took me a while to watch basketball again but Kobe was the reason I started back. Thanks mamba. RIP to Kobe, his daughter, and the other 7 people on that helicopter. That shit is sad man.
Crazy how Jordan told the reporter the exact words/advice he gave Kobe. 0:39 The way they sync it up when they were both on the court gives me chills. Amazing.
Humble isnt the word id use to describe michael. He was cool because he respected kobe for the unique talent he was. Its just that simple. He probably wouldve ignored any other rookie (or sophomore). Not worth his time. Jordsn isnt exactly "humble" to fans either. Michael may be goat but hes also known to be a major A-hole too. Its ironic how kobe was labeled a jerk, aloof while Mike's praised for humility when the truth was really the opposite off the court.
4eightyvolt you're wrong. Plain and simple. Michael does have that cocky attitude but he always gave credit to the greats before him like Magic and even David Thompson before Magic. Countless stories about how he's worked with younger players, specifically spending hours with his young players in Charlotte. Michael also gives A TON back financially to people less fortunate and just recently bank rolled new hospitals in the Charlotte area. Just because he doesnt take every picture with fans or sign every autograph that doesnt make him an A-hole. Your comment couldn't be further from the truth... Fact.
@@4eightyvolt You OBVIOUSLY never saw the documentary "The Last Dance" Jordan was signing a kids autograph in the middle of of busy traffic. You can hate all you want because Jordan beat your favorite player. But MJ was very Humble. You on the other hand, i'm not so sure about.
4eightyvolt No one ever was like that with MJ in Kobe and they became close through it and MJ was so competitive so when played in the finals and stuff he’s just there to win and it’s not like he was being really rude he was just competitive
Chargx it sucks not being able to see the footwork the fadeaways and ball fakes.... Kobe really copied Jordan's footwork and midrange game to a T .. but Jordan had a slight slight better midrange game in my opinion . MJ averaged 30 a game for his career and he retired EARLY two different times .
RIP to a legend and his daughter. Let us also not forget the other poor souls who lost thier lives on the incident. May they all move on and have peace.
All the people with Kobe and his Daughter were apart of their lives and worked hard with the Black Mamba academy and the kids. All are very special and have wonderful souls. May they move on as bright stars in the universe. RIP.
WS 95 look at you all emotional!!!, If you know He made an impact, then why are you being an ass right now, Try and impact people as well before you die instead of exposing your dumb self!!!

And the fact that Kobe who's considered on of the best ever said Jordan is the goat even said lebron doesn't have the killer instinct that he and Jordan had that could tell you why lebron will never be consistent the best
The relationship between MJ and Kobe is so fun to watch. It seems like MJ was really happy to meet a guy who was so similar to himself, look into at a younger version of himself.
Mj giving him tips on how to do a move was touching. Didn’t matter who was the best, MJ put him up on game! All of these men deserve the upmost respect just off that!
Kobe earned MJ's respect because Kobe started with respect. MJ took him under his wing and nurtured him. Kobe didn't act stupid like Stackhouse who talked smack to the media which then gave Jordan the ammunition to destroy him and mentally scar him for the rest of his career as a vastly inferior player. Instead he saw Kobe as the guy with the right mindset and skillset to be a successor and gave him the knowledge he had attained to succeed. Jordan is the Master and Kobe is his best ever student.
*_"MJ took him under his wing and nurtured him"_* What a bunch of bullshit. You make it sound like Michael trained him or something. He didn't. They had mutual respect for each other, and Michael obviously gave him some tips, but he didn't "take him under his wing" or "nurture him". Dumbass.

"How technically sound Michael was" -0:18 ...The way Kobe mention MJ is so heartwarming for me, it sounds like they are a family. It's like listening to this little brother telling story about his big brother, and they both played in basketball league, in different team and being opponent on the court
The respect that Kobe showed MJ when asking him for advice, allowed MJ to see that he needed to pass the torch to someone. That someone was KB. RIP Kobe.
@Flip Arrachi I agree with that. But I think MJ knew he would leave soon and he saw something in Kobe that I think reminded him of himself. Hence the passing of the torch, even if it wasn't immediately. I think someone as ferociously competitive as MJ, its always going to be hard for him to give advice to a competitor.
The difference with Kobe and LeBron is simple Kobe was willing to learn so that's why Jordan could give advice on basketball or just life in general LeBron was already self-proclaimed "king James" ah ah ah so......
I mean if you are Micheal jordan, you worked hard and won. years later, Suddenly a young kid rise with similar of your moves. You will love it like Michael did,
Some people don't understand the level of total skill MJ had. This is a guy who won the scoring title and DPOY in the same year. What makes him special are his actual skills and bball IQ. Kobe understands this more than anyone. MJ can basically do whatever the hell he wants, with much less effort.
He won scoring title, defensive player of the year, and the MVP no one else has ever done this and probably won't see anyone do it anytime soon MJ=GOAT
I used to hate Kobe when I was younger, because I was such a Jordan fan. As I got older, my respect level increased. Because he never backed down from Jordan-you gotta love that.
I’ve never like Kobe cause of his attitude and lack of leadership but I never doubted his greatness and if he forgot to ask Jordan for something was on how to be a leader and bring the best in others. Kobe could have had minimum 7 rings
I used to hate MJ because of what he did to Magic Lakers, I hated that he have perfect moves and I have to deal 6 championships watching Him, but when I heard that there is a guy who plays like MJ in Lakers it was a relief, when MJ retired I missed him playing, but good that Kobe moves like Mike, I enjoy watching Kobe, it’s like always watching in slow motion.
I hate Kobe and the Lakeers when I was a kid too lmfao. Hell I hated anyone who went up against the MJ and the bulls during that Era. I have so much respect for Kobe and would put him at #1-2 as the best Laker of all time.
Mr Blue Sky I’m not, I missed it. But I remember the Bulls playing the Pacers on the tv once when I was little kid and that gd Reggie Miller pissed me off fouling Mike lol I didn’t know what was going on but all I knew was Michael Jordan was the greatest and you didn’t hit him 😠 Lol. Things were just different back then. If I was a little kid today watching these current guys I wouldn’t give a shit.
It was awesome to see Kobe Bryant in the NBA BEING the best basketball 🏀 player I have ever seen since Michael Jordan, I can't believe he's gone and his daughter gig.

"I shoot better when the clock is running down." What a god damn legendary beast! I spoke with a couple younger kids one day about Kobe. The admiration and respect they had for Kobe was immense. Some of them couldn't believe some of his accomplishments on court. Kobe will be mythic status in no time.
Kobe had great fook work. However kobe lacked the edge. Jordan had the edge. His pressence on the court was overwhelming! Examine the space jordan created between himself and his opponent! Says it all
Get out of here. All you fools are flooding the comments about only his death instead of his basket ball skills. Where were you when he was alive? Stop looking for thumbs ups. I have been watching these videos for years and you can find my comments on every one of his videos YEARS ago.
One class act learning from another class act. You know you’re a legend when your opponent asks you for advice. You know you’re a legend when you take that advice and surpass the legend.
@@MikeFoxGolf Uh yeah, but by any measure he didn't surpass Jordan. At all.. Accomplishments, metric, whatever you choose, Jordan was better. Look it up.
If he would not have all those family dramas he had with parents and Vanessa maybe he would win 10 NBA champs. He was an incredible dinamic athlete maybe even more than Jordan
It’s crazy cause as a Knick fan I didn’t necessarily like Kobe but you have to respect and admire his dedication and talent.. Rip to one of the greatest human beings to ever exist in world history..
MJ really never or rarely had given advise to opposing player. this goes to show that MJ respected Kobe's game ..MJ knew that Kobe would become one of the greatest then ..
He took Kobe aside and mentored him. He picked the people that he wanted to spend his time on. Back then, he knew Kobe was special. Mike does not even talk to his teammates (except for a select few) because he felt they are beneath him (well most of them).
Michael reaches out to a ton of young guys....countless stories of him at Charlotte practice teaching the young guys. People need to do their research....
Get out of here. All you fools are flooding the comments about only his death instead of his basket ball skills. Where were you when he was alive? Stop looking for thumbs ups. I have been watching these videos for years and you can find you can find my comments on every one of his videos YEARS ago.
You wake up on a regular day and say damn Kobe is no more.. Why oh why? That very part where Kobe was asking Mike about some tips and Jordan responding that's humility and true sportsmanship right there. I love those guys and I love NBA. May the soul of the departed rest in peace
Night in and night out...just like Michael he left it all on the floor every single game he played. Thats the difference between guys like MJ and Kobe and the rest, and when I say 'the rest' that includes "King James" and his on/off hustle switch!
Prayers and fond memories are what we have to remember Kobe and Gianna and all the Families. We want to offer our prayers and condolences to you and your family. God gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40:29. May God comfort you among the other mourners. Love you all!
Imagine one great being schooled by another... Kobe took what MJ said seriously....Lebron was mesmerized by Kobe.... Just a beautiful inspirational connection right there
Kyrie: I think i can take you one on one. Kobe: Whutt?? Now you've lost your mind. Kobe: You just talked yourself to getting 50 dropped on you. Man, Kobe's an OG.
therealist811 LOL. That's a joke. Kyrie was serious. Everyone has different mannerisms. That's like some fool thinking Pacquiao is scared of em cause Pac man doesn't get all animated. Then fight night Pac man whips they azz. You need to watch the entirety of that video. Kyrie and Kobe went on exchanging words. And come game time Kyrie got Kobe several times in the game.
Kobe did a lot of interviews, I'm surfing all of them since he died, I think God wants us to celebrate his life sharing his knowledge to all of us, so now we all have a little mamba mentally thanks to him. Rest in Power Kobe. Thank you so much!
seeing MJ and kobe like that side by side was priceless. I also dug how kobe went to MJ for advice in the middle of the game and jordan dropped some knowledge onto the young grasshopper or should i say the young bull

I used to hate Kobe when I was younger, because I was such a Jordan fan. As I got older, my respect level increased. Because he never backed down from Jordan-you gotta love that.
Jordan never backed down from anyone either.
I’ve never like Kobe cause of his attitude and lack of leadership but I never doubted his greatness and if he forgot to ask Jordan for something was on how to be a leader and bring the best in others. Kobe could have had minimum 7 rings
I used to hate MJ because of what he did to Magic Lakers, I hated that he have perfect moves and I have to deal 6 championships watching Him, but when I heard that there is a guy who plays like MJ in Lakers it was a relief, when MJ retired I missed him playing, but good that Kobe moves like Mike, I enjoy watching Kobe, it’s like always watching in slow motion.
I hate Kobe and the Lakeers when I was a kid too lmfao. Hell I hated anyone who went up against the MJ and the bulls during that Era. I have so much respect for Kobe and would put him at #1-2 as the best Laker of all time.
While LeBron backs down from Dirk
"You done talked yourself into getting 50 dropped on you"
Man, I miss Kobe
Come to Chicago so you can play 1 of tha best Slam!
Fast forward a couple of months to the NBA season and Kobe took that challenge of being iso with Kyrie and Kobe blocked his shot.
@@ABBAManon Eventually Kyrie took the dagger 3 to give Lebron the Cavs chip (with help of the Warriors choking). He has the mentality.
@M Then why you crying about it? loi
We will always miss you KOBE. A legend has died. R. I. P Mamba💜💛😭
The most charismatic basketball player/legends I have seen in my lifetime
RIP Mamba- 😥
#LegendsNeverDies
Basketball used to be so damn amazing back in the day. I'm glad I'm old enough to have enjoyed it!
Mr Blue Sky I’m not, I missed it. But I remember the Bulls playing the Pacers on the tv once when I was little kid and that gd Reggie Miller pissed me off fouling Mike lol I didn’t know what was going on but all I knew was Michael Jordan was the greatest and you didn’t hit him 😠 Lol. Things were just different back then. If I was a little kid today watching these current guys I wouldn’t give a shit.
Mr Blue Sky I totally agree
Agree 100%
Mr Blue Sky I always say that. The 90s were definitely the golden days of basketball. I loved watching it back then.
YES! Back when players wanted to beat each other and be competitive not team with one and other
“People have to be lucky to find passion in life” and “really lucky to find it at a young age “
💯
Freddie Hagood Amen to this
truly. i wish i was only so lucky. im almost 39 and just recently found my passion.
@@bevrosity what is that passion
I discover basketball at 8yrs old playing everyday im so lucky
bevrosity congrats man I’m 31 and still haven’t found mines.
That smile on the thumbnail gives me so much pain. I miss u, Kobe.
It was awesome to see Kobe Bryant in the NBA BEING the best basketball 🏀 player I have ever seen since Michael Jordan, I can't believe he's gone and his daughter gig.
I legit cried today and I was never a Kobe fan and I’m not a crier but god damn god took a good one today. RIP Kobe and god bless your daughter
Julio Inostroza dame bro didn’t expect crying
Real men cry and admit with confidence
@@Lokilowkey978 nope
I cried crocodile tears.. no shame.. it’s Kobe.. if anyone who grew up as a 90s kid , the pain hits different .. losing a childhood hero hurts
@@Caine459 here is canada w love him, , is in and out great ambassador
RIP LEGEND :( the whole World is in tears!
Nope.
@@gc99289 Show some respect for the departed brother. It's sad news when a father and daughter perish along side 7 other traveling companions.
@@goonwop4531 He ended up in charred pieces, so you're half right. They crashed going 180mph into a hill. That's supercar speed smashing into a wall. Then there was fire. There won't be much to cremate.
The whole world? Oh please, don't be so arrogant
@@x78340 Let people grieve how they want to. It's important. "The whole world" is not literal in this context but for sure it was felt round the world as a quick Google search will show.
0:38 🐐🐐 .... I cant even watch Kobe videos now without shedding a tear I swear and he wasn’t even my fav player .... his whole story is just heartbreaking man .... RIP and thanks for the memories
im still recovering from kobes death... in fact WE ARE ALL STILL RECOVERING
Speak for yourself. IDGAF about him.
@@surainsk for real 😂😂
@@surainsk then why tf are you in this comment section dude stfu.
"I shoot better when the clock is running down."
What a god damn legendary beast! I spoke with a couple younger kids one day about Kobe. The admiration and respect they had for Kobe was immense. Some of them couldn't believe some of his accomplishments on court. Kobe will be mythic status in no time.
Kobe's Greatness enhances Michael's Greatness.
the fact that kobe became great by playing like Michael shows that MJ was really great.
Jordan is teacher and Kobe is the student.
= Jordans greatness
+Paulo Webba how?
Kobe had great fook work. However kobe lacked the edge.
Jordan had the edge. His pressence on the court was overwhelming!
Examine the space jordan created between himself and his opponent!
Says it all
Yeah fook work
The Last Dance was inspirational Kobe and Jordan you two gentleman are phenomenal human beings
Kobe as a 17 year old had the mindset of a 5X champ before even knowing what he was going to become. GOAT. Kobe is Los Angeles.
RIP the GREAT Kobe Bryant. You’ll forever be in the heart of everyone of us. A LEGEND has gone to rest.
Thumbs up if you love Kobe Bryant.
Yeah.😣😣😓😓😭😭
fuck the thumbs up mane, fuck ur clout chasing
Get out of here. All you fools are flooding the comments about only his death instead of his basket ball skills. Where were you when he was alive? Stop looking for thumbs ups. I have been watching these videos for years and you can find my comments on every one of his videos YEARS ago.
Only fans who lived to watched MJ, Kobe in their prime knows they are better than Lebron.
AMEN!!!!
ESPN saw it all but look at Kobe he 12 and bron is 3
Steph Curry I think ESPN rating is based on current performance not all time.
+Kei Zhang I was born too late to watch them, but I still know that.
Anyone with a clue knows this
Great classic interview rest in paradise Kobe Bryant 🙏🙏💎
Rest peacefully Kobe 🙏🏾❤
Mike playing against him, giving him advice on how to better his game against him.. That's cool!!!
One class act learning from another class act. You know you’re a legend when your opponent asks you for advice. You know you’re a legend when you take that advice and surpass the legend.
Yeah, you have to respect that...
Michael Golt he didn’t surpass jordan
well goat need opponents to fill his hunger so he teaching kobe so that he became at his level
@@MikeFoxGolf Uh yeah, but by any measure he didn't surpass Jordan. At all.. Accomplishments, metric, whatever you choose, Jordan was better. Look it up.
Kobe with 60 points in his last game!!!
#MambaOut
+samuel martinez Way to go... Born with fire, Burned out never faded, and never will, the legend.
+Nero Yin yup
Never faded? That was his signature move bro
dont upvote this.
+Kordel3553 he means the competitive fire never faded
Kobe is the greatest of all time
If he would not have all those family dramas he had with parents and Vanessa maybe he would win 10 NBA champs. He was an incredible dinamic athlete maybe even more than Jordan
It’s crazy cause as a Knick fan I didn’t necessarily like Kobe but you have to respect and admire his dedication and talent.. Rip to one of the greatest human beings to ever exist in world history..
So just because your a Knicks fan you can't like a player from another team? That makes no sense
@@streetfightervsxenoverse1832 exactly! Not all things in the universe have to make sense and that’s the beauty of it.
MJ really never or rarely had given advise to opposing player. this goes to show that MJ respected Kobe's game ..MJ knew that Kobe would become one of the greatest then ..
R.I.P & good comment sir.
He took Kobe aside and mentored him. He picked the people that he wanted to spend his time on. Back then, he knew Kobe was special. Mike does not even talk to his teammates (except for a select few) because he felt they are beneath him (well most of them).
Cause michael saw kobe like himself.
Michael reaches out to a ton of young guys....countless stories of him at Charlotte practice teaching the young guys.
People need to do their research....
Greg Cunningham maybe he has mellowed a bit. The guy is a total asshole. He didn’t even give his Wahington Wizards teammates free Jordans.
The body may be gone but his spirit goes on forever, living in all of us by what he showed us.
Get out of here. All you fools are flooding the comments about only his death instead of his basket ball skills. Where were you when he was alive? Stop looking for thumbs ups. I have been watching these videos for years and you can find you can find my comments on every one of his videos YEARS ago.
@@lukechello4611 Dude get over yourself
@@lukechello4611 Great comment, here. Everyone "RIP here, RIP there". Keep his memory alive by commenting on his amazing skills.
You wake up on a regular day and say damn Kobe is no more.. Why oh why? That very part where Kobe was asking Mike about some tips and Jordan responding that's humility and true sportsmanship right there. I love those guys and I love NBA. May the soul of the departed rest in peace
I am crying when I see Kobe.
Players these days should learn from these two legends. Work harder, no gimmicks, just play the game.
and smoke crack
sometimes more than 5 a day ya know, Wilt The Stilt
Lol watch the video again. It's all attitude and not what you suggested.
All of them
Had gimmicks 🤣🤣🤣
And fuck Rihanna's ass. Or Iggy Azalea's
We asked for his hustle, he gave us his heart.
Sam L nothing could be closer to the truth! The man had such heart for the game and played every game with heart and soul!
Where are the quotes?
Night in and night out...just like Michael he left it all on the floor every single game he played. Thats the difference between guys like MJ and Kobe and the rest, and when I say 'the rest' that includes "King James" and his on/off hustle switch!
Sam L no didn’t ask for shit
He broke our hearts
This hits different now.. R.I.P. Kobe 🙏
I just loved this interview ❤️ So inspiring and then watching MJ crying at the memorial ... it moved me a lot
Sad to have to come back to this video only 3 years later to post RIP Kobe.
#MambaOut
Prayers and fond memories are what we have to remember Kobe and Gianna and all the Families. We want to offer our prayers and condolences to you and your family. God gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40:29. May God comfort you among the other mourners. Love you all!
Imagine one great being schooled by another... Kobe took what MJ said seriously....Lebron was mesmerized by Kobe.... Just a beautiful inspirational connection right there
100%
There's only one Kobe, and there was only one MJ. Arguably the best two that ever played the game. The most dedicated for sure.
We miss you Kobe. Love and respect💖.
I don’t play basketball but the reason he’s my idol is because of his work ethic. He taught that greatness can be achieved through hard work.
Jordan is like master yoda, then kobe is like obiwan kenobi
Leo Wattimena and lebron is jar jar binks
@@kyleguo2363 lmao no... Lebron is still Jedi status you dumb fuck
@@kyleguo2363 OK LeBron is one of the greats no need for disrespect.
Lebron jumped ship to FIND great teams, Jordan and Kobe MADE great teams. Lebron James is Padme Amidala.
Kyle Guo 😂😂🤣. Bro this got me laughing my ass off Jar jar binks 😂🤣🤣
Every time I see Kobe I cant stop my tears...He was amazing man...He really touched all of us...GOAT....
let me say it again.. RIP KOBE ! 🌊🐐 keep winnin championships up there.
Kyrie: I think i can take you one on one.
Kobe: Whutt?? Now you've lost your mind.
Kobe: You just talked yourself to getting 50 dropped on you.
Man, Kobe's an OG.
OG?
J_Murph thx
therealist811 LOL. That's a joke. Kyrie was serious. Everyone has different mannerisms. That's like some fool thinking Pacquiao is scared of em cause Pac man doesn't get all animated. Then fight night Pac man whips they azz. You need to watch the entirety of that video. Kyrie and Kobe went on exchanging words. And come game time Kyrie got Kobe several times in the game.
Kobe was just talking dude. At that point in his career 50 points was a rarity.
therealist811 Aight, since you've been around Kyrie long enough and know em personally enough to know his mannerisms that well.
Kobe did a lot of interviews, I'm surfing all of them since he died, I think God wants us to celebrate his life sharing his knowledge to all of us, so now we all have a little mamba mentally thanks to him. Rest in Power Kobe. Thank you so much!
Still can't believe he's gone :( RIP legend!
Now I understand the only thing that matters is what you do with passion, the rest I wasted time. Thank you Kobe. You'll live forever now
Kobe and Jordan, the best matchup ever!
Tom Wagstaff no! My face and your ass! That’s a matchup
That moment where you saw Jordan giving Tips to Kobe, you already knew He literally gave his powers lmfaoo to kobe
damn that smile on mj's face after Kobe asked him for advice made me tear up. still miss you dawg
Kobe was so humble against Jordan
never liked kobe but lets be real hes 1 of the best of all time respect
Same here bro, i was more of a tmac fan but either way you gotta give kobe his respect
Manuel Cantu h3573@accor.com kj
Thank you bro the way Pro LeBron media disrespects kobe just to make LeBron seem superior is criminal
Appreciate you manny, you know b-ball.
Never liked him when he was playin but appreciated that he was a great player. But now that he is retired he is a likeable person.
This is the man with passion towards his job. RIP BLACK MAMBA
“I love that dude man, he’s a warrior”
Real recognize real. I’ve never seen MJ the way he was at Kobe’s memorial. RIP Mamba
Kobe Bryant has an affect on all of us. Kobe fan or not, you have to respect for what he did to the game. RIP KOBE
🕊 ❤️🕊
Even when Kobe is talking smack to MJ he is still showing him respect.
" I love that dude, hes a warrior"!
M.J.
R.I.P. Mamba 🙏🏼
Kobe was truly one of the greats and had the work ethic to prove it! He out worked everyone, just like Jordan did!
seeing MJ and kobe like that side by side was priceless. I also dug how kobe went to MJ for advice in the middle of the game and jordan dropped some knowledge onto the young grasshopper or should i say the young bull
R.I.P. Kobe Bryant. Man was one of the greatest players to play the game. The hardest worker on the court I know.😇😭😭😓😱🏀💯
