YOU ARE A GOD SIR!!! THE WHOLE SERIES NEEDS TO BE SHOWN ON EPSN!!! THE WORK YOU PUT INTO THESE VIDEOS IS 100% KOBE AND MIKE ARE 1 & 2 !!! ABOVE THE REST.... & YOUR WORK SIR SHOWS THAT!!!
And that's why this generation are just a cheap carbon copy, bunch of posers, wannabes, because that's what they look up to. Kobe is a cheap imitation of Jordan.
Some people say that Kobe copied MJ. I have 2 things to say to that: 1. Kobe did add some things to his game. Learning from great players isn't a bad thing either. 2. If you're able to copy what MJ does, that's not something many people can do.
In the midst of this blasphemous argument that Kahwi is the closest thing to Jordan, I came here to remind myself who the real carbon copy is. The black mamba.
bananaclip onthat choppa I think the ‘other player attributes’ you’re talking about were more just adjustments/adapting to the game of that time (mid 90’s- late 00’s). Kobe was always obsessively studying Jordan to replicate him and looked up to him. States that in several of his interviews
Why does it hurt to watch the truth. Kobe was a human being but so is Michael Jordan and the world allowed Kobe to steel Jordan's craft and praise him for it as with so many other cases. Smh
@@pierrehasntcomeoutyet3748 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Zion plays like a Shawn Kemp or LeBron. You joking. Zion doesn't have the fade, the 3, the mid, and the footwork. Nah man! 🤣🤣
No surprises really, we know that Kobe has studied countless hours of Jordan footage. I'm sure he watched these moves then went out and practiced the exact motion on the court til he got it down to muscle memory.
@@youalreadyknow2316 Kobe Bryant ( SG ) was outplayed by Jason Terry ( SG ) in the second round of the Western Conference in 2011. MJ GOAT, Kobe is not top 5.

Camby * MJ played against the most physical-oriented team of Detroit "Bad Boys" (1986-1993); D. Rodman is still with the Pistons within those years. * 17 out of the 50 All-time Greats played within MJ's era. * Kobe played more Seasons amounting to 200+ more games Phil Jackson: "One of the biggest differences between the two stars from my perspective was Michael's superior skills as a leader.. Though at times he could be hard on his teammates, Michael was masterful at controlling the emotional climate of the team with the power of his presence. Kobe had a long way to go before he could make that claim. He talked a good game, but he'd yet to experience the cold truth of leadership in his bones, as Michael had (Jackson noted the "pronounced" difference in their accuracy, Jordan shooting almost 50% - an "extraordinary figure" - while Bryant had been at 45%). No question, Michael was a tougher, more intimidating defender. He could break through virtually any screen and shut down almost any player with his intense, laser-focused style of defense."
Yeah but Kobe was closer still what's makes Bryant unique is that he shouldn't be in top 25 players but this dude wasn't an athletic freak like LeBron or Mj he doesn't have a good shooting efficiency like Curry or Durant but the fact he achieved all of these awards and the fact his ability to adapt in some Jordan ways makes Kobe's career better in terms of reaching beyond limits. Kobe Bryant isn't as gifted with basketball like LeBron or Mj in no shape or form but the fact he could find other ways to make you remember him makes him a different legend compared to LeBron or Mj and that's why in some people's Kobe did what Mj or LeBron couldn't do and that's take more L's and missed shots and still be the best scorer in today's game even though he wasn't the best of the best at his craft but a little above average. Oh and his footwork and versatile scoring made him more competitive like Michael but in another way.
I love the 3 point shots that curry makes but these fadeaways will always be the most gorgeous shot to me. Everything from the positioning yourself in the post, the footwork, to the turn around and release is what i would practice these shots all day as a kid.
True Hero Lebron deserves to be in the conversation IMO. I know most people dismiss this with his finals record. But many fail to realise that basketball is a team sports. His team lost the finals 4 times. Not him alone. Since it is a debate on who's the greatest PLAYER. Lebron is definitely up there. Dude can give you anything. Triple double if he wants to. Scoring title if he wants to. A facilitator. Big and fast. Can defend 1-4 or even 5. Adding him into a team makes that team a playoff team instantly. Even a championship contender. The fact that he carried 2 shitty cleveland teams to the finals proves it. If u add kobe, a playoff team maybe. A finals team? i dont think so. Dont get me wrong im not saying lebron is better than kobe. Kobe is much better mentally and his scoring skills are insane. 1 on 1 kobe and MJ would beat lebron. Im just saying lebron is in the conversation and that we should not put him down only cuz majority hates him and they overlook him.
Kobe is very smart he modeled his whole game after jordan so positioning was huge in having success from anywhere on the court and that’s something mj had in spades
They are very, very close. There is no difference in some moves; in others MJ gets a bit more hang time and he looks a little more fluid than Kobe in a couple of the moves. But Kobe was still phenomenal.
At the End of the Day, Kobe Bryant has studied MJ and his game.... he tried to clone Jordan's style and he has acomplished that goal. This video proves this. Kobe Bryant wants to be and is a carbon copy of Michael Jordan, THE ORIGINAL MICHAEL JORDAN, might I add.... Kobe Bryant wants that 6th ring so hie ultimate goal of trying to match JORDAN is complete.
Bryant's fade-away is a bit different than Jordan's. Here's my observation: 1. The base form: Jordan fades with legs bent more, whereas Bryant's legs are more straight. 2. The upper form: Bryant rises his shoulders more, so his neck looks shorter when he fades, whereas Jordan's shoulders seem more relaxed. 3. The kick: Bryant kicks more than Jordan, i.e. his right leg goes farther than Jordan. 4. The power: Bryant seems to exert more power in his fades, whereas Jordan seems to exert less power. So I have to agree when Phil Jackson said that Jordan is stronger than Bryant. 5. Vertical: Jordan has higher vertical than Bryant. 6. The angle: Jordan's shooting angle is close to 45 degree whereas Bryant's shot is flatter (perhaps around 40 degree.) FYI, Sports Science proved that the most effective & efficient shooting angle in basketball is 45 degree. I like Bryant's fade-away form better because of the straight legs, but overall, Jordan's fade-aways are more efficient & more difficult to defend than Bryant's. I also agree that Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time. Oh, and this comes from a Kobe's fan :-)
It's because Jordan's vert was higher that Kobe has a higher release point (thus the shoulders lifting). He needs to in order to shoot over defenders. Jordan just rose above them like Westbrook does so he can have a quicker and lower release (more relaxed shoulders). However this gave Kobe more range. He could hit Curry distance three's with perfect form almost identical to Curry's. It just wasn't accepted back then so he didn't practiced it but he could've gotten it down I'm certain of it.
Jordan has higher PER, more rings, higher ppg, better offensive rating, has more offensive win shares, More defensive win shares, more points scored in career, higher true shooting percentage, higher effective field goal percentage, higer offensive rebounds percentage, higher defensive rebound percentage, has higher ast percentage, has lower turnover percentage,
Kobe studied every move MJ made and he perfectly applied it in every game. Both had so much respect for each other, unlike todays players saying they can beat MJ one on one blah blah blah or they can beat the 90's Bulls. Its easy to talk but definitely harder to walk.
I've always emphasized that 2003 was Kobe's greatest year. That was the only year that we saw the combination of the athleticism of a young Kobe, merged with the jumpshot and craftiness of older Kobe. His knee surgery during the 2003 off-season really hampered his athleticism going forward. He was never really the same athletically after. You still saw bursts of what he had from '98-03, but he could never sustain it like he did before. If you study game tape, you can clearly see a difference in the way Kobe moved, dribbled, and drove the ball before '03, and after '03. I do wish we would've gotten to see his pre-surgery athleticism a bit more. It was the closest we ever got to a '91 Michael Jordan.
Kobe avged 34 1 year and didn't win the MVP. Kobe isn't a peoples person as we all know he's definitely been cheated MVP trophies so u can't base shit off that but Jordan is still the best
Many are saying remixes are worse but guys have u even heard real remix? I mean like old school those ones were the real og remixes better than any other.
very good list but what is ypur opinion about this one 1 - Michael Jordan 2 - Kobe Bryant 3 - Larry Bird/Magic Johnson /LeBron James 4 - Allen Iverson /Kareem Abdul Jabbar 5 - Karl Malone/Shaq/Hakeem Olajuwan
Öteki Adam both of you guys got shit lists how do you put players with no rings and FMVP ahead on a top 5 lists? It should go 1. Michael Jordan - 6x Champion/6x FMVP 2. LeBron James - 3x Champion/3x FMVP 3. Magic Johnson - 5x Champion/3x FMVP 4. Shaq - 4x Champion/3x FMVP 5. Tim Duncan - 5x Champion/3x FMVP
Given the news today, I just had to go out and look at some vids of Kobe... Being a Bulls fan...I HATED Kobe being compared to His Airness. I thought to myself "He may have copied his moves on the court, and his mannerisms, but he will NEVER be MJ..." But this video..... This video has shown me that Kobe wanted to be GREAT. And to be GREAT, you had to mimic greatness.... I thank you Kobe. You are as true to MJ as anyone has ever been. I love and respect your game. RIP....my brotha... Marsournexthome
What funny with the comparisons is that the older players have more rings. So the newer models have obviously been stripped down of their luxury packages. -Ugly Nigga from www.uglynigga.com
Kobe is a phenomenal talent, once in a lifetime player, as seen by his final performance against Utah with 60 and the game winning shot with 30 seconds to go. Hands down my favorite all time player, no question. But one specific area where Michael always had the edge that I think is often overlooked are his hands. Michael had huge hands, allowing him to be more creative with the ball with one hand, whether in the air or off the dribble. Kobe has relatively small hands for a 6'6 individual, and if you notice, can barely palm the ball when going up for a dunk. He basically cups it most of the time, or uses two hands. This was an advantage for MJ, but also a slight deterrent in terms of long range shooting, as Kobe has proven to be a better 3 point shooter than Michael.
That sounds about right about Kobe's hand size because I was thinking the only MJ move I never remember seeing from Kobe is palming the ball and faking a pass. I figured Kobe hands are probably too small for that.
Technibility I think that's a fair assessment but you also have to remember the game was different back then. There was more of an impetus on 3pt shooting as the years post Jordan flew by. During Jordan's day the post and having a mid range game was superior to any 3pt shooter bc defensive schemes were so aggressive that chances were that you wouldn't shoot well from 3. As the game progressed defense became optional as it is today and more people focused on maximizing the 3pt shot.
Byron you're wrong about that they didn't emphasize defense against 3pt shots back in the day like they do in today's game. They hammered them in the paint yes but watch some old film and you'll see how much space they give perimeter players. Today's players are simply better shooters who release the ball much more quickly and more accurately. Also, it was only after Kobe's era that the 3pt shot became so prevalent (enter GSW). Kobe's era is the post-MJ era. Basically the league was filled with players who played just like MJ. Kobe did it best. Same as how this new era will be the post-Curry era where all the quick little guards can shoot accurately from range with extremely limited space.
MJ's sneakers were definitely nice but that's not it for me. When Jordan finally had a team around him and learned how to win, it was a wrap for the rest of the NBA. Had he not gone to play baseball for awhile, he would have gotten into that Bill Russell stratosphere for rings. He almost always seemed to come out on top when he had to...even when every one in the building knew the ball was going to him. That is impressive! When he took over the league, there was NO DOUBT who the ALPHA, BETA, whoever was...MJ.
0:31 "Kobe's a better shooter than Michael Jordan, and he's every bit the kind of closer that Jordan was and that's what it's really all about isn't it?" Riiiiight, that's all that's basketball's about. Clutch shots and shooting. Smfh. MJ's in a class all by himself. Anyone who grew up watching both these guys and understands basketball knows that.
eboni clay I'd have to disagree. I think their shooting is probably about equal. Shot selection: MJ wins hands down. Kobe is a lot more of a ball stopper than MJ was. MJ used to attempt 1-2 moves, and if he didn't find an opening, he passed to a teammate. I've seen Kobe attempt 4-5 moves in multiple possessions making up a full game and rarely saw MJ do that once in a full game even when he had bad teammates in the 80s. Most people who think Kobe is better at certain aspects of the game did not see MJ play. Kobe is better at frustrating opponents. MJ was better at striking fear into opponents. That's the only real comparison.
GOAT - MJ Most Dominant - Wilt Chamberlain Most Versatile - Magic Johnson Greatest Winner - Bill Russell Most Popular - Kobe Bryant Most Overrated - Lebron James Smartest - Gary Payton Most Skilled - Julius Erving Fiercest - Kevin Garnett Strongest - Shaquille O'Neal
The difference between Kobe and a lot of other legends is that he has NEVER had someone else in his team capable of creating their own shot consistently. Jordan had Pippen. Lebron has Wade. That opens up the floor.
Lol Kobe had Shaq? Are you kidding me right now ? Shaq was in his prime, one of the most dominant players ever. Shaq opened up the floor more then the other two btw.
Kobe had Shaq which gave him time to create his own shot, Kobe won 3 with with Shaq. Kobe didn't win any championship titles until Pau Gasol came and he won 2 with him. So he had somebody.
Kobe Bryant is the clutches player of all time and if you argue that you don't know what your talking about. Mj is the greatest of all time no doubt but if you can compare some one to Mj it's kobe Bryant not LeBron or any one else LeBron is not even in the same class of Mj or kobe.
+GINsmalldoodle you're a fucking moron....yes Kobe probably has the lowest percentage, but he also has attempted the most game winning shots BY FAR out of any player ever. However, he has also MADE the most game winning shots BY FAR...."Kobe isn't clutch".....stupidity....what's next? Larry Bird couldn't shoot? Or Jordan couldn't dunk?
There are still things Kobe can't copy: The Free throw line dunk, the Mid-air Switch hands, Triple pump contested reverse layup, Back to back 3peats, 10 straight scoring tiles, Back2back Slam Dunk Champion, 3 steal titles, Defensive Player of the year and the 72-10, then the scoring title, championship, Regular Season MVP and the Finals MVP, all at the same season, despite without playing basketball for 2 years.
MJ could have also won 12 or 13 straight championships if only the flagrant foul was implemented earlier, if his father wasn't killed and if the Bulls Management did not collapse in 1999.
They took some of Micheal Jordan's weakest highlights and combined with some of Kobe Bryant's best highlights. Kobe Bryant wanted to be like Jordan so bad he copied him a lot down to hanging his tongue out and everything. But if you watch enough of their highlights, Kobe Bryant never has been exciting as Jordan.
Everyone that's pointing out Kobe played longer are not mentioning Jordan walked into league with green light. Kobe had to come off bench and then play second fiddle he didn't have green light to shoot at will. He would've broken record sooner if he did
It is so exhausting to hear people say Kobe copied off of Jordan. As if the Hall of Fame is going to put an asterisk symbol by his name because he patterned his game after Jordan. That's even more reason why Kobe was such a great player, because if you watched Jordan or played against him for years, and then here comes this kid Kobe doing all of the same moves...why can't you stop him? It takes skill and talent to pattern your game after one of the greats. No one ever ridicules a race car driver for copying Mario Andretti's driving style or a runningback for copying Barry Sanders moves, or a baseball player who copied Ken Griffey's swing. At the end of the day, the runningback still has to run hard and make people miss. The race car driver still has to manage how he drives the car, and the baseball player still has to have hand-eye-coordination in order to hit the ball. Why can't people just appreciate a great player for their accomplishment? Taking the answers off of someone else's exam is the only copying that should be ridiculed. smdh
Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, these names shall never be forgotten in the history of Basketball. They will always be remembered in the Hall of Greatness
I mean anybody who hates on Kobe is JUST OUT OF THEIR FUCKING MINDS... THE MAN DID IT. Im jealous lol his career is something I can only dream for drafted at age 18. then the rest is history...... HE IS THE CLOSEST WE WILL EVER SEE TO JORDAN. 3rd leading scorer in the HISTORY of the NBA. 5 rings league / finals mvp awards 81 points 63 in 3 writers twice 4straight 50pt games 9 straight 40 most 3s in the history of nba in one game. with 12 how many points in Utah the first quarter? the list goes on...lol lebron will never be JORDAN NOR BE BETTER THEN KOBE..
Jordan Bryant LOL Lebron more mvps, more finals mvps, higher ppg, aspg, reb, fg%, 3pt %, higher playoff and finals ppg aspg reb fg% etc. Went to 6 straight finals and counting. Is more complete than Kobe. But Kobe got more skill I give him that
haha bro that joke is out the door.. kobe proved last year that he can play at a high pg level he had several 14 assists and 10 + assists games last year
kobes might have an attitude but hes better then mj. Hes better than him at shooting,dribble moves etc. Some of the reasons why mj is the "best" is because of the jordan brand,72-10,6 rings and for pippen.
Well the one thing u have to compare is time. Modern basket was different during MJ years. We have better coaches more techniques now and different rules. Yes they both are pretty similar and one maybe a little better than the other but if we trained them exact it would make a different a.
Without MJ there is no Kobe Bryant. After Kobe retires it's the last time we see MJ"s shot and moves on the court till another player decides to watch film and study how to play like Mike and replicate it on the court just like Kobe did for his entire career. ruclips.net/video/v27Hk5OIe-k/видео.html
+Nick Salazar That person MIGHT be Kawhi Leonard. With his massive hands I already see small similarities to Jordan's game. Even his dunks are similar.
+00Mindi00 His post game also reminds me of MJ. Since he is a Jordan athlete, hopefully Jordan can give him advice and maybe help him develop a killer instinct. That would be great
+00Mindi00 I like Kawhi but I feel like he is more like Pippen. The one person who I feel has a chance to be Jordan is Andrew Wiggins, he is taller 6'8 and is as athletic as MJ. He just needs to adapt the mentality, refine his Offense a little and commit to D. He has received a lot of criticism but has reached another milestone, 4th youngest to get to 3000 points.
Aw man. RIP to my guy mamba man. I got to see Jordan's second 3 peat, was too young to identify with basketball on Jordan's 1st 3 peat. But I definitely caught all 20 of kobe bean Bryant's career. There will never be a michael Jordan, but you better believe the closest thing to MJ is kobe. The way he picked his spots, the way pulled up, that fade away, scary man. #RipKobe
Kobe Bryant is my favorite basketball player of all time cuz of his killer instinct, determination, hunger,& work ethic. Kobe Bryant is the best player of my generation. When he retires I will be sad
You see the problem is there are a lot of children in here and other places who never saw Jordan play. They've seen a few highlights but nothing concrete, so they assume Kobe was just as good or even better because all they really know is what they've seen of Kobe and they are mesmerized by what they see. Fact is Kobe is no Jordan, it's not an opinion but a proven fact. This coming from a guy who wasn't even a Jordan fan, but I watched both and I have never seen a player as good as Jordan. I have been saying this for years that it would close to impossible for Kobe to be as good as Mike, during the days when ESPN.com had a forum and Shaq and Kobe were together, I had many arguments with Kobe fans that he will never be as good as Jordan. Now so many years later as Kobes career is coming to a close I was proven right. Not to toot my own horn, but there was always some noticeable advantages that Jordan had, for the kids who never saw Jordan play a little education for u young pups. First of all Jordan had quicker feet, which enabled him to stay in front of the guy he was guarding in ways Kobe has had struggles doing, Jordan had quicker and stronger hands which enabled him to get more steals and deflections. He was faster, quicker, stronger, even Phil jackson alluded to these facts. Another thing I want to address is this misconception that Kobe was a better shooter than Mike, totally not true. This is a misperception based on the fact that Kobe makes more difficult acrobatic type jump shots, Jordan wasn't quite as adventurous, but taking tougher shots does not make u a better shooter. Jordan took tough shots too, but he made his shots at a much higher percentage than Kobe. I guarantee u if u check the numbers, Jordan's field goal percentage from the mid range was much higher than Kobes. People think Kobes mid range game was better, but Jordan was deadly at the mid range game where Kobe can be a little erratic. What Kobe has over Jordan is shooting range, Kobe can shoot as far out as maybe 25 feet whilst jordan was about 22 feet, but even Kobes 3 pt shooting wasn't much better than Michaels, they shot almost the same percentage career wise, Kobe taking many more attempts. Stats will show u that Mike was much more efficient, his career fg percentage was basically 50 % when rounded off, Kobe around 45%. So no Kobe never was and never will be a better shooter than Mike. I can go on forever, but to sum this up in quick and simple fashion when combining regular season and playoffs Jordan has 11 mvps to Kobes measly 3. 5 in the regular season for Mike, 6 in the finals. 1 sinking mvp for Kobe in the regular season and 2 finals mvps. Jordan has 10 scoring titles, Kobe 2. Who's really the better scorer? Jordan won defensive player of the year, Kobe never even came close. Jordan won steals titles, Kobe never. Jordan never lost in the finals, Kobe has lost twice in the finals and has laid eggs in the playoffs costing his team in championship games. Jordan never laid an egg in a big game. If we check the stats Jordan beats Kobe in basically every category, and in the playoffs Jordan dominates Kobes statistics even more. There is no debate as to who is better, this is an open and shut case. Have a good 1.
You forgot to mention that even this Jordan is a more completed player than Kobe is , Kobe was a lot more athletic ! A lot more , u see Kobe would take hard shoots because he could find a way to convert the shoot all t easier, and Kobe would also 360 dunk, between the legs, double clutch , and a lot more athletic dunks that Jordan wishes he could do, u see Jordan never threw a 360 or a between the legs he just stayed in the air long and just finished the dunk and the crowd would say " its the best dunk of all time" , however when Kobe would cross up 3 defenders then go behind back then 360 dunk the crowd would say" that a good play!" Not " best play of all time" like they would with Jordan, that states that Kobe has never gotten as much credit as Jordan ever got , and he probably never will, even thoe Kobe has worked much harder than Jordan ever did , and that's another thing that Phil Jackson also said! My conclusion is that if Jordan had to restart his career as a rookie , he would never get as far as he got , his moves won't do any matter in the NBA generation that Kobe played , its not about just doing rimgrazer dunks or saying " I'm the greatest of all time " anymore...
Mark comparto enteramente tu opinión y la verdad el asunto de nunca llegar al nivel de kobe... Honestamente jordan es un jugador con los fundamentos perfectos no necesita ser tan fantoche para dejar ver la calidad que tiene como jugador, fuera benéfico para el empezar en esta era porque anotaría más y lo golpearían menos las reglas del juego han cambiado y echan abajo las cuestiones que en antaño hacían un poco mas rudo el trabajo para un jugador. Si Jordan jugara en esta era anotaría mas puntos por juego porque se la pasaría yendo a la canasta. Pero es mi particular punto de vista.
Mark Warner You don't know what the hell your talking about. You were right on your earlier points until you said Kobe wasn't a better shooter than Jordan. First of all Phil Jackson said Kobe was a better shooter, so shut that crap up. Kobe holds the record for most 3 pointers made in a single game, while Jordan struggled for most of his career to hit 3 pointers. Kobe took twice as many 3 pointers as Jordan per game and he hit them at a higher percentage as well. These are all verifiable facts if you did any research. Kobe also has hit more mid-range jump shots than any player in NBA History and he hit then at 3-5 percent above the league average. Additionally even in his worse season (which was this year by the way) he still shot better than ANY PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE with shots attempted on contact. This means that when you foul Kobe on a mid-range shot he would hit it better than ANYBODY else in the whole damn league! Kobe is a better shooter than Jordan ever was CASE CLOSED!
@@ralx225b no offense but you just made all that up bro. Kobe was noway in hell a better midrange shooter than Jordan and his 3pt percentage was almost identical to Jordan's. I suggest you do your research then come back to me and tell me again you were speaking facts. Actually let me do the research for you, don't mean to put you on blast but you asked for it. 😆
It's so funny, ppl say Phil Jackson won because he had superstars... but WAIT!!! check out how his superstars fare WITHOUT his guidance: MJ 0/7, Pip 0/8, Kobe 0/8, Shaq 1/14. That's freaking 1 title in 36 years of these superstars' careers. IN ADDITION: 0 finals MVPs in 36 years!! ZERO! From the above facts, it's arguable that MJ, Kobe, would just be another Allen Iverson WITHOUT Phil's coaching. None of these megastars proved that they could win as an alpha male without PJ.
I know what u mean, I do that sometimes too and I don't play ball much at all...so is it possible that kobe is having the same reaction? I seen many players do that

Kobe brought justice to the younger generation that missed Jordan’s prime this is in itself a masterpiece and he will always be cherished and missed
Amen! RIP Kobe!
I grew up with Jordan and your comment is spot on. Well done sir!!!
And that's why this generation are just a cheap carbon copy, bunch of posers, wannabes, because that's what they look up to. Kobe is a cheap imitation of Jordan.
@@trollbot1244 bcuz kobe could Never mimick Jordan's liquid layup moves....Never period
Never thought of it like that. I never actually got to watch Kobe play, I started watching the NBA in the 16-17 season
Some people say that Kobe copied MJ. I have 2 things to say to that:
1. Kobe did add some things to his game. Learning from great players isn't a bad thing either.
2. If you're able to copy what MJ does, that's not something many people can do.
***** It looks like you didn't read my comment though...
if there is one thing kobe did not copy it is that jumpshot because mj simply could not shoot like kobe
That's probably why your average at everything you do in life. No drive to become better. You're happy where you are and have no drive.

Kobe is the closest thing we have seen to MJ, but there is only one Jordan.

jucy well If you look at stats and accomplishments lebron is way better than Kobe
jucy LeBron still better idc
ClintAndJordan No,just no.
S K imagine wanting to be a carbon copy lmao kobe isn’t a copy of Jordan he has other players attributes
bananaclip onthat choppa I think the ‘other player attributes’ you’re talking about were more just adjustments/adapting to the game of that time (mid 90’s- late 00’s). Kobe was always obsessively studying Jordan to replicate him and looked up to him. States that in several of his interviews
After hearing of Kobe’s passing , this hurts to watch
Richy Serrato I’m going to the gym and ball until I drop for Kobe🤧🤧🤧🤧
Ok man I can believe it

Why does it hurt to watch the truth. Kobe was a human being but so is Michael Jordan and the world allowed Kobe to steel Jordan's craft and praise him for it as with so many other cases. Smh

nice joke brah hahahahhaha!!!

@The_Vicman006 well... not really... kobe still lost with phil... jordan undefeated with phil... that's the difference.
No surprises really, we know that Kobe has studied countless hours of Jordan footage. I'm sure he watched these moves then went out and practiced the exact motion on the court til he got it down to muscle memory.
That’s weird. Idk why no one is pointing this out. He would kill to be MJ. Lmao

Phil Jackson:
"One of the biggest differences between the two stars from my perspective was Michael's superior skills as a leader.. Though at times he could be hard on his teammates, Michael was masterful at controlling the emotional climate of the team with the power of his presence. Kobe had a long way to go before he could make that claim. He talked a good game, but he'd yet to experience the cold truth of leadership in his bones, as Michael had (Jackson noted the "pronounced" difference in their accuracy, Jordan shooting almost 50% - an "extraordinary figure" - while Bryant had been at 45%). No question, Michael was a tougher, more intimidating defender. He could break through virtually any screen and shut down almost any player with his intense, laser-focused style of defense."
Wow thanks you i didnt knew Those stats (sorry broken english)
Case made I guess😂
I think hes trying to say MJ is better, but I could be wrong.
you deserve more likes
Yeah but Kobe was closer still what's makes Bryant unique is that he shouldn't be in top 25 players but this dude wasn't an athletic freak like LeBron or Mj he doesn't have a good shooting efficiency like Curry or Durant but the fact he achieved all of these awards and the fact his ability to adapt in some Jordan ways makes Kobe's career better in terms of reaching beyond limits. Kobe Bryant isn't as gifted with basketball like LeBron or Mj in no shape or form but the fact he could find other ways to make you remember him makes him a different legend compared to LeBron or Mj and that's why in some people's Kobe did what Mj or LeBron couldn't do and that's take more L's and missed shots and still be the best scorer in today's game even though he wasn't the best of the best at his craft but a little above average. Oh and his footwork and versatile scoring made him more competitive like Michael but in another way.
must be hell to make these videos, hours of footage to put together.
thats a dedicated fan
I hope he get paid by youtube rather than those nonsense youtubers
Kobe's Greatness enhances Michael's Greatness.
Kobe and Jordan are the same. The only differences are that MJ has 6 and Kobe has 5. Kobe only has 1 MVP but we all know he was robbed.
yup
Yea and without Kobe Shaq wouldn't have a ring or a mvp
+Craig Williams kobe won two without shaq obviously shaq wasn't the reason
ur a dumb ass lol
Dumb as fuck, they went and got gasol or else he wouldn't won shit
I love the 3 point shots that curry makes but these fadeaways will always be the most gorgeous shot to me. Everything from the positioning yourself in the post, the footwork, to the turn around and release is what i would practice these shots all day as a kid.
It’s the most difficult shot in basketball . U miss a few of these and the coach will put u on bench duty
kobe is the last Jordan of our era.
No lebron is
GINsmalldoodle
with 2 - 4 in the FINALS ? lebron is nothing compared with these 2 monsters, fanboy
True Hero Lebron deserves to be in the conversation IMO. I know most people dismiss this with his finals record. But many fail to realise that basketball is a team sports. His team lost the finals 4 times. Not him alone. Since it is a debate on who's the greatest PLAYER. Lebron is definitely up there. Dude can give you anything. Triple double if he wants to. Scoring title if he wants to. A facilitator. Big and fast. Can defend 1-4 or even 5. Adding him into a team makes that team a playoff team instantly. Even a championship contender. The fact that he carried 2 shitty cleveland teams to the finals proves it. If u add kobe, a playoff team maybe. A finals team? i dont think so. Dont get me wrong im not saying lebron is better than kobe. Kobe is much better mentally and his scoring skills are insane. 1 on 1 kobe and MJ would beat lebron. Im just saying lebron is in the conversation and that we should not put him down only cuz majority hates him and they overlook him.
fff
Curry doesn't exist?
What's funny is that Kobe is in the exact spot mj was on the court like to a tee
That's the most creepiest part. Its like Kobe is some type of time traveler or something.
This is due to the triangle offense that Phil Jackson utilized them in. That's how I've come to see they're very identical.
Austin Pitts not only that hut it was against the same kind of defense.
Not at 2:16
Kobe is very smart he modeled his whole game after jordan so positioning was huge in having success from anywhere on the court and that’s something mj had in spades
the only difference that I saw is Mj's vids are blurry than kobe's :D
Jason Arandia lmao
exactly..copycat!
!!!
Paul Jason as if you can copy the GOAT lmao
They are very, very close. There is no difference in some moves; in others MJ gets a bit more hang time and he looks a little more fluid than Kobe in a couple of the moves. But Kobe was still phenomenal.
Kobe is great. MJ is great. I leave it at that and thank them for spoiling us with their careers.
The debate of who is the best will always be a debate. Just enjoy the greatness that they blessed us with

At the End of the Day, Kobe Bryant has studied MJ and his game.... he tried to clone Jordan's style and he has acomplished that goal. This video proves this. Kobe Bryant wants to be and is a carbon copy of Michael Jordan, THE ORIGINAL MICHAEL JORDAN, might I add.... Kobe Bryant wants that 6th ring so hie ultimate goal of trying to match JORDAN is complete.
Sterlin Jordan Fuck whoever u like
John Louis Something tells me you don’t like Lebron.
Bryant's fade-away is a bit different than Jordan's. Here's my observation:
1. The base form: Jordan fades with legs bent more, whereas Bryant's legs are more straight.
2. The upper form: Bryant rises his shoulders more, so his neck looks shorter when he fades, whereas Jordan's shoulders seem more relaxed.
3. The kick: Bryant kicks more than Jordan, i.e. his right leg goes farther than Jordan.
4. The power: Bryant seems to exert more power in his fades, whereas Jordan seems to exert less power. So I have to agree when Phil Jackson said that Jordan is stronger than Bryant.
5. Vertical: Jordan has higher vertical than Bryant.
6. The angle: Jordan's shooting angle is close to 45 degree whereas Bryant's shot is flatter (perhaps around 40 degree.) FYI, Sports Science proved that the most effective & efficient shooting angle in basketball is 45 degree.
I like Bryant's fade-away form better because of the straight legs, but overall, Jordan's fade-aways are more efficient & more difficult to defend than Bryant's.
I also agree that Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time.
Oh, and this comes from a Kobe's fan :-)
no justification needed, he stole the jumpshot. stop, good effort tho
Elijah Fraley Hahaa... Thanks for the comment & have a good day :-)
Elijah Fraley, Picasso : "Good Artists Copy; Great Artists Steal."
It's because Jordan's vert was higher that Kobe has a higher release point (thus the shoulders lifting). He needs to in order to shoot over defenders. Jordan just rose above them like Westbrook does so he can have a quicker and lower release (more relaxed shoulders). However this gave Kobe more range. He could hit Curry distance three's with perfect form almost identical to Curry's. It just wasn't accepted back then so he didn't practiced it but he could've gotten it down I'm certain of it.
And I'm talking near half court.
Jordan is The G.O.A.T.
When I seen Kobe's tongue come out, thats when I was convinced that this was more than idolatry, this was obsession
LOL
🤣
Yea the tongue thing he took it too far
He was a fanatic jordan drove him
Anytime you ask your opponent questions while you're playing them you're an obsessive fanatic.
Rest In Peace Kobe

I just saw you on bein sports .. and I came here to see the video.
Great work buddy !!
I've always emphasized that 2003 was Kobe's greatest year. That was the only year that we saw the combination of the athleticism of a young Kobe, merged with the jumpshot and craftiness of older Kobe.
His knee surgery during the 2003 off-season really hampered his athleticism going forward. He was never really the same athletically after. You still saw bursts of what he had from '98-03, but he could never sustain it like he did before. If you study game tape, you can clearly see a difference in the way Kobe moved, dribbled, and drove the ball before '03, and after '03.
I do wish we would've gotten to see his pre-surgery athleticism a bit more. It was the closest we ever got to a '91 Michael Jordan.
agreed 02-03 was the best overall version of kobe pre knee surgeries
Kobe is a legacy of Michael jordan
The creator of this video should be hired by the NBA for video editing and analysis because this is nothing short of spectacular. ❤

OOOOH! Slow down dawg...YOU KILLIN' 'EM SON! -Ugly Nigga from www.uglynigga.com
Kobe avged 34 1 year and didn't win the MVP. Kobe isn't a peoples person as we all know he's definitely been cheated MVP trophies so u can't base shit off that but Jordan is still the best
Michael Jordan made Kobe Bryant !
FutureGalaxy 705 exactly
FutureGalaxy 705 Dr. J made Mj
StreetLord 413 This video proves your statement!
StreetLord 413 kkk YES
StreetLord 413 how??... Jordan "made" Kobe??... horrible choice of words...
I think let's give credit to Kobe it's not like his all Imitation, he may have some skills jordan has but I think each player is unique
Exactly....I haven't heard anyone say Kobe replicates j's layups....jordan was the {jimi hendrix, james brown, tom brady} Of All Of Basketball...imo
Lets say...if Jordan is original song... Kobe is the remix
shutup
no Kobe is the cover
well... remakes and remixes always fail to the original.
Many are saying remixes are worse but guys have u even heard real remix? I mean like old school those ones were the real og remixes better than any other.
Bootleg
First is Jordan...the greatest that ever played the game...

@Obito xshinobi LMFAOOO nigga!
Given the news today, I just had to go out and look at some vids of Kobe...
Being a Bulls fan...I HATED Kobe being compared to His Airness. I thought to myself "He may have copied his moves on the court, and his mannerisms, but he will NEVER be MJ..."
But this video.....
This video has shown me that Kobe wanted to be GREAT. And to be GREAT, you had to mimic greatness....
I thank you Kobe. You are as true to MJ as anyone has ever been. I love and respect your game. RIP....my brotha...
Marsournexthome
Kobe Bryant=Michael Jordan
LeBron James=Magic Johnson
Kevin Durant=Larry Bird
The game just evolves
Durant comparable to Bird? Dirk is closer to Bird. Durant is more comparable to George Gervin.
Kobe and Jordan is true. But Lebron and Magic is false. Lebron can pass but not like Magic. The closest thing to Magic is probably Stockton and Nash.
TRFunk00 I'll second that.
damn true hahaha!
What funny with the comparisons is that the older players have more rings. So the newer models have obviously been stripped down of their luxury packages. -Ugly Nigga from www.uglynigga.com
Kobe is a phenomenal talent, once in a lifetime player, as seen by his final performance against Utah with 60 and the game winning shot with 30 seconds to go. Hands down my favorite all time player, no question. But one specific area where Michael always had the edge that I think is often overlooked are his hands. Michael had huge hands, allowing him to be more creative with the ball with one hand, whether in the air or off the dribble. Kobe has relatively small hands for a 6'6 individual, and if you notice, can barely palm the ball when going up for a dunk. He basically cups it most of the time, or uses two hands. This was an advantage for MJ, but also a slight deterrent in terms of long range shooting, as Kobe has proven to be a better 3 point shooter than Michael.
That sounds about right about Kobe's hand size because I was thinking the only MJ move I never remember seeing from Kobe is palming the ball and faking a pass. I figured Kobe hands are probably too small for that.
Yes but Kobe had better touch and feel with the ball and better handles as well. Which are the advantage of smaller hands.
Technibility I think that's a fair assessment but you also have to remember the game was different back then. There was more of an impetus on 3pt shooting as the years post Jordan flew by. During Jordan's day the post and having a mid range game was superior to any 3pt shooter bc defensive schemes were so aggressive that chances were that you wouldn't shoot well from 3. As the game progressed defense became optional as it is today and more people focused on maximizing the 3pt shot.
Byron you're wrong about that they didn't emphasize defense against 3pt shots back in the day like they do in today's game. They hammered them in the paint yes but watch some old film and you'll see how much space they give perimeter players. Today's players are simply better shooters who release the ball much more quickly and more accurately. Also, it was only after Kobe's era that the 3pt shot became so prevalent (enter GSW). Kobe's era is the post-MJ era. Basically the league was filled with players who played just like MJ. Kobe did it best. Same as how this new era will be the post-Curry era where all the quick little guards can shoot accurately from range with extremely limited space.
wow im 5'6 and i could nearly palm the ball
JORDAN AND BRYANT That to guys are part of my inspiration to play basket ball ^_^ there are my IDOLS.
I'm not a jordan nor a kobe fan but personally I think the reason why jordan has so many fans is because of his sneakers.. imo
MJ's sneakers were definitely nice but that's not it for me. When Jordan finally had a team around him and learned how to win, it was a wrap for the rest of the NBA. Had he not gone to play baseball for awhile, he would have gotten into that Bill Russell stratosphere for rings. He almost always seemed to come out on top when he had to...even when every one in the building knew the ball was going to him. That is impressive! When he took over the league, there was NO DOUBT who the ALPHA, BETA, whoever was...MJ.
Damn RIP Kobe 🙏 no worries tho bc we will all taste the bitterness of death one day
Lmfao I wasn't expecting that
@First Last still true. Gotta face the music.
Scary how identical. Kobe was a true student of the game. Respectable. RIP KOBE
0:31 "Kobe's a better shooter than Michael Jordan, and he's every bit the kind of closer that Jordan was and that's what it's really all about isn't it?"
Riiiiight, that's all that's basketball's about. Clutch shots and shooting. Smfh. MJ's in a class all by himself. Anyone who grew up watching both these guys and understands basketball knows that.
No lie kobe is a better shooter than mj ever was so part of her statement is true
eboni clay Bahaaaaa kobe is not a better shooter
He definitely is. Learned from best nonetheless but his shooting skills are much better but that's no fact, just an opinion
this comment is great.
eboni clay
I'd have to disagree. I think their shooting is probably about equal. Shot selection: MJ wins hands down. Kobe is a lot more of a ball stopper than MJ was. MJ used to attempt 1-2 moves, and if he didn't find an opening, he passed to a teammate. I've seen Kobe attempt 4-5 moves in multiple possessions making up a full game and rarely saw MJ do that once in a full game even when he had bad teammates in the 80s.
Most people who think Kobe is better at certain aspects of the game did not see MJ play. Kobe is better at frustrating opponents. MJ was better at striking fear into opponents. That's the only real comparison.
Kobe rest in peace :(
Rest in peace, Kobe. You'll be remembered, and your legacy will always live on.
GOAT - MJ
Most Dominant - Wilt Chamberlain
Most Versatile - Magic Johnson
Greatest Winner - Bill Russell
Most Popular - Kobe Bryant
Most Overrated - Lebron James
Smartest - Gary Payton
Most Skilled - Julius Erving
Fiercest - Kevin Garnett
Strongest - Shaquille O'Neal
Why is Lebron Overrated, he is an amazing player.
Kobe is the most skilled nba player of all time
Kobe is my hero, if Kobe retire i will stop watching NBA!
The difference between Kobe and a lot of other legends is that he has NEVER had someone else in his team capable of creating their own shot consistently. Jordan had Pippen. Lebron has Wade. That opens up the floor.
Lol Kobe had Shaq? Are you kidding me right now ? Shaq was in his prime, one of the most dominant players ever. Shaq opened up the floor more then the other two btw.
you can't be serious
Nobody touched Shaq in his prime.
Kobe had Shaq which gave him time to create his own shot, Kobe won 3 with with Shaq. Kobe didn't win any championship titles until Pau Gasol came and he won 2 with him. So he had somebody.
Xx_Public_EnemyxX Rite. I been sayin that 4 years
Kobe Bryant is the clutches player of all time and if you argue that you don't know what your talking about. Mj is the greatest of all time no doubt but if you can compare some one to Mj it's kobe Bryant not LeBron or any one else LeBron is not even in the same class of Mj or kobe.
Kobe should also be considered the greatest mid range shooter ever and maybe greatest scorer ever.
7/27 like 20ish% on buzzer beaters in the playoffs??? Lmao!!!
Kobe isn't clutch. Lebron hit 7/17 which is 40% unlike kobe. Mj is 9/18 which is 50% better than both of them.
+GINsmalldoodle you're a fucking moron....yes Kobe probably has the lowest percentage, but he also has attempted the most game winning shots BY FAR out of any player ever. However, he has also MADE the most game winning shots BY FAR...."Kobe isn't clutch".....stupidity....what's next? Larry Bird couldn't shoot? Or Jordan couldn't dunk?
+Daniel Clark of course he had many attempts than lebron and jordan, the guy doesn't know how to pass.. Keep piling the miss shots kobrick
There are still things Kobe can't copy: The Free throw line dunk, the Mid-air Switch hands, Triple pump contested reverse layup, Back to back 3peats, 10 straight scoring tiles, Back2back Slam Dunk Champion, 3 steal titles, Defensive Player of the year and the 72-10, then the scoring title, championship, Regular Season MVP and the Finals MVP, all at the same season, despite without playing basketball for 2 years.
MJ could have also won 12 or 13 straight championships if only the flagrant foul was implemented earlier, if his father wasn't killed and if the Bulls Management did not collapse in 1999.
They took some of Micheal Jordan's weakest highlights and combined with some of Kobe Bryant's best highlights. Kobe Bryant wanted to be like Jordan so bad he copied him a lot down to hanging his tongue out and everything. But if you watch enough of their highlights, Kobe Bryant never has been exciting as Jordan.
Kobe was clearly the 2nd coming of Mike
MJ copied all Kobe's moves
😄
Twin brothers from different times
"Like Mike.. If i could be like Mike! I wanna be i wanna be like Miike" Kobe loved that commercial more than anyone in this world!
He was the only one to make that dream true
@@thisisfaka no
he only had 💍 💍 💍 💍 💍.
😅😂😹😹
Everyone that's pointing out Kobe played longer are not mentioning Jordan walked into league with green light. Kobe had to come off bench and then play second fiddle he didn't have green light to shoot at will. He would've broken record sooner if he did
Eric Mack mj averaged more shot attempts as well.
Michael Jordan will be the G.O.A.T because he was the first to do it but Kobe Bryant will be the greatest.
um what?
fucking moron
G.O.A.T. =/= greatest? Fail.
Splash General how is Kobe the greatest to do it when he's clearly mimicking Jordan
hahahahaha..you might want to delete this comment..lol
Who else here to say rip Kobe 🤧❤️ ?
Jordan laid out the blueprint and Kobe was the only player smart enough to follow it.
It is so exhausting to hear people say Kobe copied off of Jordan. As if the Hall of Fame is going to put an asterisk symbol by his name because he patterned his game after Jordan. That's even more reason why Kobe was such a great player, because if you watched Jordan or played against him for years, and then here comes this kid Kobe doing all of the same moves...why can't you stop him? It takes skill and talent to pattern your game after one of the greats.
No one ever ridicules a race car driver for copying Mario Andretti's driving style or a runningback for copying Barry Sanders moves, or a baseball player who copied Ken Griffey's swing. At the end of the day, the runningback still has to run hard and make people miss. The race car driver still has to manage how he drives the car, and the baseball player still has to have hand-eye-coordination in order to hit the ball. Why can't people just appreciate a great player for their accomplishment? Taking the answers off of someone else's exam is the only copying that should be ridiculed. smdh
relax...he never copied jordans exceptional layups & phenominal no look shots
RIP Kobe a legacy that can never be touched💯
Kobe memorized every move and did it from the same spots , just crazy the mamba mentality, he’s the better jordan
He took the term ....."I wanna be like Mike" very personal
The greatest video I have ever seen
Cody C True. Awesome editing work. The Kobe/MJ clips are uncanny!
Will always watch these Kobe-Jordan comparison videos having the privilege of watching 2 all time greats of the NBA..RIP Kobe Bryant
No ones better then Michael
R.I.P Kobe Bryant. 🙏
Sometimes I expect Kobe to pull his skin off and reveal himself as an old Michael in disguise.
Well they are the same height and do look kinda similar.
@@MinecraftTheGod but lacks superb, fantastic layup skills like~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~> Michael. {Evidently you can see I'm a real MJ fan}😂😹😂
Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, these names shall never be forgotten in the history of Basketball. They will always be remembered in the Hall of Greatness
I mean anybody who hates on Kobe is JUST OUT OF THEIR FUCKING MINDS...
THE MAN DID IT. Im jealous lol his career is something I can only dream for drafted at age 18. then the rest is history......
HE IS THE CLOSEST WE WILL EVER SEE TO JORDAN.
3rd leading scorer in the HISTORY of the NBA.
5 rings
league / finals mvp awards
81 points
63 in 3 writers twice
4straight 50pt games
9 straight 40
most 3s in the history of nba in one game. with 12
how many points in Utah the first quarter? the list goes on...lol
lebron will never be JORDAN NOR BE BETTER THEN KOBE..
he cant even beat Dallas. foh
Jordan Bryant Lmao You're a dumbass if you think Lebron isn't on Kobe or Jordan's level
Jordan Bryant LOL Lebron more mvps, more finals mvps, higher ppg, aspg, reb, fg%, 3pt %, higher playoff and finals ppg aspg reb fg% etc. Went to 6 straight finals and counting. Is more complete than Kobe. But Kobe got more skill I give him that
MyBeautifulDark TwistedFantasy Exaclty
The music just makes this video and I always come back to it just to marvel at the greatness of Kobe and Jordan
At least MJ passes the unlike Kobe I'm not hating on Kobe but its the truth
haha bro that joke is out the door.. kobe proved last year that he can play at a high pg level he had several 14 assists and 10 + assists games last year
Kobe has the same assists per game, while having less shots per game. Thus, your point is invalid
Lakers vs Wizards - Michael Jordan 22pts 6ats 5rebs vs Kobe Bryant 23pts 11rebs 15ats (2002.02.12) watch this in youtube
Ayaka Chii so that is only one game
Ayaka Chii thats game is from 2002. watch kobe's first allstar game, late 90's. jordan out does him
kobes might have an attitude but hes better then mj. Hes better than him at shooting,dribble moves etc. Some of the reasons why mj is the "best" is because of the jordan brand,72-10,6 rings and for pippen.
Well the one thing u have to compare is time. Modern basket was different during MJ years. We have better coaches more techniques now and different rules. Yes they both are pretty similar and one maybe a little better than the other but if we trained them exact it would make a different a.
pippen was nothing without Jordan. what did the bulls do when Jordan left? NOTHING!
hold the phone people loser alert loser alert. piss off
your drunk and stupid
how the fuck you know my name is jack?
Without MJ there is no Kobe Bryant. After Kobe retires it's the last time we see MJ"s shot and moves on the court till another player decides to watch film and study how to play like Mike and replicate it on the court just like Kobe did for his entire career.
ruclips.net/video/v27Hk5OIe-k/видео.html
Right!!
+Nick Salazar That person MIGHT be Kawhi Leonard. With his massive hands I already see small similarities to Jordan's game. Even his dunks are similar.
+00Mindi00 His post game also reminds me of MJ. Since he is a Jordan athlete, hopefully Jordan can give him advice and maybe help him develop a killer instinct. That would be great
+00Mindi00 I like Kawhi but I feel like he is more like Pippen. The one person who I feel has a chance to be Jordan is Andrew Wiggins, he is taller 6'8 and is as athletic as MJ. He just needs to adapt the mentality, refine his Offense a little and commit to D. He has received a lot of criticism but has reached another milestone, 4th youngest to get to 3000 points.
+Nicholas Salazar Without Dr. J there wouldn't be no MJ
Aw man. RIP to my guy mamba man. I got to see Jordan's second 3 peat, was too young to identify with basketball on Jordan's 1st 3 peat. But I definitely caught all 20 of kobe bean Bryant's career. There will never be a michael Jordan, but you better believe the closest thing to MJ is kobe. The way he picked his spots, the way pulled up, that fade away, scary man. #RipKobe
Kobe Bryant is my favorite basketball player of all time cuz of his killer instinct, determination, hunger,& work ethic. Kobe Bryant is the best player of my generation. When he retires I will be sad
It was almost scary to see how identical those plays were. It was mindblowing
You see the problem is there are a lot of children in here and other places who never saw Jordan play. They've seen a few highlights but nothing concrete, so they assume Kobe was just as good or even better because all they really know is what they've seen of Kobe and they are mesmerized by what they see. Fact is Kobe is no Jordan, it's not an opinion but a proven fact. This coming from a guy who wasn't even a Jordan fan, but I watched both and I have never seen a player as good as Jordan. I have been saying this for years that it would close to impossible for Kobe to be as good as Mike, during the days when ESPN.com had a forum and Shaq and Kobe were together, I had many arguments with Kobe fans that he will never be as good as Jordan. Now so many years later as Kobes career is coming to a close I was proven right. Not to toot my own horn, but there was always some noticeable advantages that Jordan had, for the kids who never saw Jordan play a little education for u young pups. First of all Jordan had quicker feet, which enabled him to stay in front of the guy he was guarding in ways Kobe has had struggles doing, Jordan had quicker and stronger hands which enabled him to get more steals and deflections. He was faster, quicker, stronger, even Phil jackson alluded to these facts. Another thing I want to address is this misconception that Kobe was a better shooter than Mike, totally not true. This is a misperception based on the fact that Kobe makes more difficult acrobatic type jump shots, Jordan wasn't quite as adventurous, but taking tougher shots does not make u a better shooter. Jordan took tough shots too, but he made his shots at a much higher percentage than Kobe. I guarantee u if u check the numbers, Jordan's field goal percentage from the mid range was much higher than Kobes. People think Kobes mid range game was better, but Jordan was deadly at the mid range game where Kobe can be a little erratic. What Kobe has over Jordan is shooting range, Kobe can shoot as far out as maybe 25 feet whilst jordan was about 22 feet, but even Kobes 3 pt shooting wasn't much better than Michaels, they shot almost the same percentage career wise, Kobe taking many more attempts. Stats will show u that Mike was much more efficient, his career fg percentage was basically 50 % when rounded off, Kobe around 45%. So no Kobe never was and never will be a better shooter than Mike. I can go on forever, but to sum this up in quick and simple fashion when combining regular season and playoffs Jordan has 11 mvps to Kobes measly 3. 5 in the regular season for Mike, 6 in the finals. 1 sinking mvp for Kobe in the regular season and 2 finals mvps. Jordan has 10 scoring titles, Kobe 2. Who's really the better scorer? Jordan won defensive player of the year, Kobe never even came close. Jordan won steals titles, Kobe never. Jordan never lost in the finals, Kobe has lost twice in the finals and has laid eggs in the playoffs costing his team in championship games. Jordan never laid an egg in a big game. If we check the stats Jordan beats Kobe in basically every category, and in the playoffs Jordan dominates Kobes statistics even more. There is no debate as to who is better, this is an open and shut case. Have a good 1.
You forgot to mention that even this Jordan is a more completed player than Kobe is , Kobe was a lot more athletic
! A lot more , u see Kobe would take hard shoots because he could find a way to convert the shoot all t easier, and Kobe would also 360 dunk, between the legs, double clutch , and a lot more athletic dunks that Jordan wishes he could do, u see Jordan never threw a 360 or a between the legs he just stayed in the air long and just finished the dunk and the crowd would say " its the best dunk of all time" , however when Kobe would cross up 3 defenders then go behind back then 360 dunk the crowd would say" that a good play!" Not " best play of all time" like they would with Jordan, that states that Kobe has never gotten as much credit as Jordan ever got , and he probably never will, even thoe Kobe has worked much harder than Jordan ever did , and that's another thing that Phil Jackson also said!
My conclusion is that if Jordan had to restart his career as a rookie , he would never get as far as he got , his moves won't do any matter in the NBA generation that Kobe played , its not about just doing rimgrazer dunks or saying " I'm the greatest of all time " anymore...
Mark comparto enteramente tu opinión y la verdad el asunto de nunca llegar al nivel de kobe... Honestamente jordan es un jugador con los fundamentos perfectos no necesita ser tan fantoche para dejar ver la calidad que tiene como jugador, fuera benéfico para el empezar en esta era porque anotaría más y lo golpearían menos las reglas del juego han cambiado y echan abajo las cuestiones que en antaño hacían un poco mas rudo el trabajo para un jugador. Si Jordan jugara en esta era anotaría mas puntos por juego porque se la pasaría yendo a la canasta. Pero es mi particular punto de vista.
Mark Warner a lot of children in here, toot my own horn, for the kids, u young pups. sounds shady lol jk yeah of course MJ was better
Mark Warner You don't know what the hell your talking about. You were right on your earlier points until you said Kobe wasn't a better shooter than Jordan. First of all Phil Jackson said Kobe was a better shooter, so shut that crap up. Kobe holds the record for most 3 pointers made in a single game, while Jordan struggled for most of his career to hit 3 pointers. Kobe took twice as many 3 pointers as Jordan per game and he hit them at a higher percentage as well. These are all verifiable facts if you did any research. Kobe also has hit more mid-range jump shots than any player in NBA History and he hit then at 3-5 percent above the league average. Additionally even in his worse season (which was this year by the way) he still shot better than ANY PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE with shots attempted on contact. This means that when you foul Kobe on a mid-range shot he would hit it better than ANYBODY else in the whole damn league! Kobe is a better shooter than Jordan ever was CASE CLOSED!
@@ralx225b no offense but you just made all that up bro. Kobe was noway in hell a better midrange shooter than Jordan and his 3pt percentage was almost identical to Jordan's. I suggest you do your research then come back to me and tell me again you were speaking facts. Actually let me do the research for you, don't mean to put you on blast but you asked for it. 😆
My eyes scream in pain every time a Jordan clip comes on and then they exhale in relief when it's Kobe's turn lol.
RIP Kobe 😭
It's so funny, ppl say Phil Jackson won because he had superstars... but WAIT!!! check out how his superstars fare WITHOUT his guidance: MJ 0/7, Pip 0/8, Kobe 0/8, Shaq 1/14. That's freaking 1 title in 36 years of these superstars' careers. IN ADDITION:
0 finals MVPs in 36 years!! ZERO! From the above facts, it's arguable that MJ, Kobe, would just be another Allen Iverson WITHOUT Phil's coaching. None of these megastars proved that they could win as an alpha male without PJ.
Holy shit I've been telling Jackson haters this for years. Glad I'm not the only one with some common sense.
It looks like Kobe is trying to copy Jordan. The tongue out did not look natural at all on Kobe. Like he was doing it on purpose.
Mike didn't do it on purpose?
eboni clay good point lol
eboni clay no mike did not some people actually do that as a involuntary action when they are concentrating
I know what u mean, I do that sometimes too and I don't play ball much at all...so is it possible that kobe is having the same reaction? I seen many players do that
it is possible but it doesnt look like he is naturally doing it
two of the greatest. along with kareem and lebron. that's my mt. rushmoore.
but let's just all agree on this MJ, Kobe > Lebron lol
The song makes it sounds like we're watching an Illuminati Exposing
Lol ikr
lol
true...it was.....there was sacrifice involved....why do you think he called himself black mamba??...snake worship & rituals....
