@@ykunwanted4640this has been said a ton about a ton of different guys being the future this one couldn’t be more true bc 90’s is jordan and 00’s is kobe
Don't feel TOO bad. Kobe's dad played in the NBA, did yours? Mines didn't and the same goes for over 99% of people. Not trying to sound like a dick, so I hope you or anyone reading this doesn't take it that way. We all have to "start" somewhere and that usually doesn't "start" with us. He already had an advantage over all of us and that started with his father (who also stayed in his life and raised him). What's the quote about being on your parent's shoulders? If your parent's are short (haven't accomplished much in life in a given field or in general) then how far will you, as their child be able to see into the distance and make the right choices to navigate your way throughout life and what it throws at you? Oh, and don't forget nepotism.
we all have emulated the stars we've admired,may it had been in baseball,football etc. but imagine actually doing it on a professional level,that's what Kobe did with MJ and guess what folks....he came real close and he didn't care if we all knew it or not,i know greatness when i see it and Kobe will go down as one of the greatest and guess what....there's more on the way....RIP Kobe
Man this is when basketball was at its best. I didn’t realize at the time how special Kobe was, to be playing against such talent at that age. Rip my brother.
You could see it in Michael Jordan’s eyes he recognized Kobe’s greatness. Still had the tinge of “I’m still the greatest young buck, but your time is coming” love the competitiveness. Rest In Peace Kobe Bean Bryant
Kobe didn’t see MJ the same way the rest of the league did. He respected Jordan, and wanted to imitate him, at the same time he saw him as a human player who had weaknesses and he went at Jordan.
In my opinion Kobe Bryant was the biggest Michael Jordan fun and the 2nd best shooting guard ever ( Not the second best player ever ). He also had a lot of guts on that game. He is a 19 years old kid who plays basketball like a superstar!
Definitely. Class and Respect. He see's talent but also a young player who is mature and a class of his own. Kobe also left that mark. That is why they are Legends.
Michael Jordan is so well spoken. He speaks with clarity and I love his personality. Doesnt seem to be bothered by the interview either. And man, look at Kobe go.....two absolute legends. Made for such an enjoyable and entertaining game to watch. R.I.P ❤
I was seeing some Jordan videos since it's been a while since hes been retired, and looking at him reminded me of how effortless he was able to score. Not only that, but how damn pretty it looked and with such finesse. I also forgot how many mid-range shots he made, those were almost automatic for him.....and again he did it with so much style.
@@johndaveleones69420 for real there is no such thing is a GOAT. It can only be said michael or magic or kobe or wilt or robinson or kareem or even lebron is one of the GOAT! So there are really many goats and you choose michael! Great choice my comrade😉
I saw this game live and never did I imagine the man and player Kobe would become! I grew up in Chicago and we rode Jordan's nuts hard. Many of us became Kobe fans. Even my dad went from yelling, Miiiiiiike! to yelling, Koooobeeeeee! Kobe was unleashed once they traded Eddie. Man. Watching a young Kobe in the late 90s was like watching Mike his first 4 years in late 80s. Just was hard to imagine where they'd end up in NBA history. Legends. From skinny wide-eyed pups to legends you only call by one name. Global impact, rings, HOF, all-time scoring leaders. They earned everything that came to them. Never cheated the game
@A People like you enjoy calling Kobe a "rapist" yet have no proof. It ain't rape if it was consensual. Enough with it. Slandering a man that isn't even on this earth anymore is ignorant and stupid.
@@thomass6365 I'm guessing he's just talking about the passage of time and how it flew by and how far removed both are from the league.

oblak oblak right kobe at 19 dropping 33 on Jordan and Jordan won his 6th title that year it goes to show kobe own coach hating on him and didnt give him a chance

Jordan is very gracious in giving Kobe advice while in game with him as an opponent. Just shows you that Michael is one of the greatest and I am glad that him and Kobe had a long standing friendship.
Mike is just a classy guy. He is confident even today that he is the greatest even tho others r really good.🤷 I sincerely believe that. So for him it's neither here nor there if I help u. I'm still better than you.
I believe that special talent sees other special talent. Jordan played against some of the best to it but I noticed that the greatest seemed to gravitate towards him. He knew Kobe was the next future king, the next gen, just like kobe knew Lebron was the next king after him. It's a bit different now due to there being so many amazing players but some talent just happens to still shine amongst the greats. They are the elite of the elites.
@@thejammathon3649 peak T-Mac was as dominant as any non-MJ guard I've seen, honestly. Almost like Pedro Martinez (lite) in the sense that the longevity wasn't as great as some, but the heights were supremely high --
I’m glad I can watch this game now . Didn’t have cable living in the country. Glad people saved this for everyone to see. Praying for the Bryant family
We will never see this level of greatness on the floor ever again. Man the level of talent in this game was unbelievable. Thank God I lived during the this era to witness it all!!
I think Zion Williamson has the potential. Needs to avoid injuries the best way possible. I know it isn't easy. I can see him being a Karl Malone/a slimmer Shaq hybrid. Has the build to finish in the paint and shoot the long ball.
Kobe Bryant even at 19yrs old showed that he was the human version of His Airness! We should be thankful that we watched Kobe's greatness for 20 amazing years!
Watching this game was truly mesmerizing. Watching Kobe and Michael talk near the end of the game, Mike giving Kobe tips and him just nodding and taking it all in just like he said in his story. Truly legendary.
*Kobe joined the league at the perfect time.* He got to play against and or with Michael Jordan (a little post-prime), Scottie Pippen (prime), Dennis Rodman, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Shaquille O’ Neal (prime), Steve Nash (prime), Dirk Nowitski (prime), Allen Iverson (prime), Tracy McGrady (prime), Vince Carter (prime), LeBron James (prime), Camelo Anthony (Prime), Dwayne Wade (prime), Tim Duncan (prime), Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, James Harden *To put into perspective:* He played against a 33 year old Michael Jordan here in 1997 and then he was dueling against a 31 year LeBron James for the last time in 2016. And they were BOTH the main player of championship teams during those seasons! He had a fair match against the two of the most highly debated players. Although we lost him, I am so happy that all of his hard work and love for the game as a kid growing up gave him the chance to play in the best parts of the NBA’s history, and that most of his life dreams as a kid came true. Ain’t that amazing?
Yes he was lucky, maybe he will be luckier if he played also vs Optimus (prime)... Just Kidding here i really do like Kobe and still so sad to start 2020... my god 😢
Shaq was trash he was a walking offensive foul the nba needed a face so they picked shaq and let him do whatever he wanted in the block dude was hook city most overrated player in history
You know this was a dream game for Kobe at the time. Everyone wanted to be like Mike. Who didn't pull up for a jumper and say "Jordan" just before the release? Crazy how all these years later, kids would pull up J's and say, "Kobe" R.I.P.
thats just because Jordan had the moves to avoid tough shots, when its tough he looks for other opportunities instead of shooting it which is very hard to do in the moment. Kobe was different, he didnt care about how tough it was if he can see the basket hes shooting it. Thats why Kobes shots were more iconic.
Yeah dude! i was born in the 80's and was a kid that started to play and learn basketball in the 90's... I had the luxury to shoot jumpers and say both of their names, sometimes "Jordan", sometimes "Kobe" while fading away, though the results usually say "brick" 😂😂😂
Kobe brya-- Kobe Bryant!.. and Kobe Bryant scores another one by Kobe Bryant! They said his name way more than MJs due to the editing, half of the time it was back to back mentions before he'd finished the last sentence.
Alexander Gabriel Alqueza than you had to go back re view it again and again and that was just too cool wow you could see it yeah and Kobe gave him the nod like thx bud I'll remember that wow coodos to MJ
Jordan has no problem giving advice to make a rival better because he yearns for the competition. That's why these two will never pull a James Harden and flop for the refs. They want their competition to be at their best. They want to beat them without any unsportsmanlike deception or gimmicks.
It's so fun watching Kobe with his idol. He's looked nervous playing against MJ. But he went off and played his game like he always did! Rest in peace Kobe and may God be with you and your daughter and the others that were lost that tragic day😞
Those two together was amazing. Plus Kobe had the modesty to ask Michael for a tip and Michael graciously gave it to him and publicly stated he had no problem being that way. That’s awesome. I wonder how he feels about Kobe’s tragic death. That truly was a beginning of the passing of the torch.
I remember that game, being a life-long Laker fan with a healthy appreciation and respect for MJ’s Bulls. That interview at the end was definitely the icing on the cake. Amazing.
RIP to the legend. You set MJ as your bar and we could debate back and forth for days if you passed that bar...but dam you sure gave it your absolute best shot.
He didn't, I'll save you some time, but there is no shame in that. he's been THE player of the 2000 era, which is a huge thing given the amount of talent we got to see. Let's just celebrate his life and his love for the game.
@@alessiofe We would probably have a similar opinion on the matter, but Koby has a case and it's a case built on a very solid foundation. One thing I'd give Kobe is he had the toughest road out of anyone with 5 titles or more.

I was amazed seeing the two NBA legends playing together, the simplicity & humbleness of Kobe Bryant under Micheal Jordan's instructions during the match. What a legend is M.J.!, RIP KOBE and GIANNA BRYANT.
Jordan seen something in that young man that reminded him of himself RIP KOBE this game was epic and a lot of love and wisdom being passed down out there 🔥😔🔥
Kobe Proved Himself To Jordan This Day...Jordan Realized He Had No Choice But To Respect His Game! Kobe Wanted The Smoke & Then Some...RIP To A True Legend.
@PACOIMAxGmoron???...FOH...y'all weirdo ass Kobe fans, I know the savage Mike was trashin players, I came up through the 80's & 90's watching him. Jordan would go to the extreme with his trash talking but at the end if the day it's all respect, now if you want to be honest Jordan don't look at Kobe like that, truth be told Jordan only see 2 players in his league, Bill Russell and Kareem.... THAT'S IT!!
@Joe Mendez that's another thing Kobe fanboys don't get, when y'all here something like that it only means far as their playing style, cause if he was the closest thing to Jordan don't you think they'll have Kobe higher on the greatest player ever?🤔😂 😂 all they talk about is Jordan and LeBron.....NO KOBE!!!
@Qills Waters your wrong Derek Fisher. 03 seconds against the same Spurs team Leonard played for........after both teams swapped clutch shot a piece...... that's the greatest...... hands down
This game was like looking in a mirror... the fact that Kobe, at 19 years of age, had the audacity to challenge Jordan, in his prime, was unreal. If there was ever a time to impress, it would be in that moment and Kobe made sure he did just that... just imagine if they were both in their primes, it would be a showdown for the ages! The closest player that we'll ever see to MJ will always be Kobe, they'll never be another worthy comparison.
Rest in Peace Kobe Bryant, 41. His 13-year-old daughter, Gianna „Gigi“ Bryant. Gianna’s basketball teammate Alyssa Altobelli. Alyssa’s father, John Altobelli, 56, the baseball coach at Orange Coast College. Alyssa’s mother, Keri Altobelli. Christina Mauser, a basketball coach at the nearby Harbor Day School, where Gigi Bryant attended. Payton Chester, a middle-school student. Sarah Chester, Payton’s mother. Ara Zobayan, the pilot.
Fun watching two of the GOATs compete. It's especially amazing how great Kobe already was at age 19 (let alone joining the NBA before the age of 20) before he got even better.
3:48 Jordan leaning towards the right coz he knew Kobe's gonna turn right and go with a fadeaway. He knows coz it feels like competing against himself. Lol. #GOATMENTALITY
My favorite part is when they talk on the court! The young and HUNGRY icon KOBE eager and willing to learn from the G.O.A.T so he asked Mike. he showed his potential and Mike taught him how to elevate his game more! GREAT GAME!
1:08 that classic move of Jordan became one of Kobes' best offense of all time. Only Kobe has the guts and skills to imitate some of Jordan's moves. He even taught it to some Filipino college students.

He knew Kobe was the next future king, the next gen, just like kobe knew Lebron was the next king after him. It's a bit different now due to there being so many amazing players but some talent just happens to still shine amongst the greats. They are the elite of the elites.
That's a case of greatness recognizing greatness
Kobe was literally a mirror of MJ that's why he respected him so much.
that's the thing ..Kobe was too much like Jordan to be better ...He was another Jordan... with a little less sheen.
T mac would have been the nastiest scorer of all of them had he stayed healthy. He was a freak and brought his own style to the game.
@@thejammathon3649 peak T-Mac was as dominant as any non-MJ guard I've seen, honestly. Almost like Pedro Martinez (lite) in the sense that the longevity wasn't as great as some, but the heights were supremely high --
Jordan, imitated but never duplicated

Trade secrets being passed down from big brother to lil brother! Rest in peace KB
I’m glad I can watch this game now . Didn’t have cable living in the country. Glad people saved this for everyone to see. Praying for the Bryant family
We will never see this level of greatness on the floor ever again. Man the level of talent in this game was unbelievable. Thank God I lived during the this era to witness it all!!
I think Zion Williamson has the potential. Needs to avoid injuries the best way possible. I know it isn't easy. I can see him being a Karl Malone/a slimmer Shaq hybrid. Has the build to finish in the paint and shoot the long ball.
More to come like before them
Greatness at a all time high tho with des two
I don't know.. John Wall,?

What about His daughter?
This just brought me to tears man RIP to the great Kobe Bryant.
That was dope how MJ kept it staright up in the post game court interview he didn't throw any shade toward Kobe Mutual Respect Teacher to Student
Prob my fav part of the entire video
Pure class. Miss that era so much.
Kobe Bryant even at 19yrs old showed that he was the human version of His Airness! We should be thankful that we watched Kobe's greatness for 20 amazing years!
MJ handing out tips to Kobe, all cool about it. Being the best is also about this!
Amazing moment catured on film
Something James would never do. Instead he just whines and cries and belittles his teammates.
Asking for guidance is the purest form of giving respect. When you give respect, you get respect, even from an asshole like MJ.
Nah that was jordans ego, "yeah kobe you cooked my ass but you should do this--" kobe: nah bruh I got this"
Respect
Watching this game was truly mesmerizing. Watching Kobe and Michael talk near the end of the game, Mike giving Kobe tips and him just nodding and taking it all in just like he said in his story. Truly legendary.
Jordan real badass giving Kobe advice during the game😂🔥🔥🔥
Kobe is the GOAT
Pharsyde No as fuck
Pharsyde goddamitt Jordan will always be the goat
Kobe real badass for asking for advice from one of the greats during the game.
Kobe ask for advice but Kobe is the goat? Ok. That makes sense. 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
*Kobe joined the league at the perfect time.*
He got to play against and or with Michael Jordan (a little post-prime), Scottie Pippen (prime), Dennis Rodman, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Shaquille O’ Neal (prime), Steve Nash (prime), Dirk Nowitski (prime), Allen Iverson (prime), Tracy McGrady (prime), Vince Carter (prime), LeBron James (prime), Camelo Anthony (Prime), Dwayne Wade (prime), Tim Duncan (prime), Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, James Harden
*To put into perspective:* He played against a 33 year old Michael Jordan here in 1997 and then he was dueling against a 31 year LeBron James for the last time in 2016. And they were BOTH the main player of championship teams during those seasons!
He had a fair match against the two of the most highly debated players.
Although we lost him, I am so happy that all of his hard work and love for the game as a kid growing up gave him the chance to play in the best parts of the NBA’s history, and that most of his life dreams as a kid came true.
Ain’t that amazing?
Also all those players were lucky to experience the kobe era
Re-Clip facts rip
Dirk,Nash and Shaq
Yes he was lucky, maybe he will be luckier if he played also vs Optimus (prime)...
Just Kidding here i really do like Kobe and still so sad to start 2020... my god 😢

Did he really say that, if he said it, well that's cool.
No u gullible turd
On the real
@Evan Dixon you suck at emojis
Shaq was trash he was a walking offensive foul the nba needed a face so they picked shaq and let him do whatever he wanted in the block dude was hook city most overrated player in history
basketball will never be this authentic again
Now days they would join the same team as soon as they could
Right
Fact
basketball sucks in comparison to this
Now nba is more about money, not about sport. Big money ruin everything.
It still blows my mind that Kobe was drafted straight out of high school

"I don't get 5 championships here without him" - Kobe's comment about Michael Jordan 🐐 in the Last Dance Documentary××
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You know this was a dream game for Kobe at the time. Everyone wanted to be like Mike. Who didn't pull up for a jumper and say "Jordan" just before the release? Crazy how all these years later, kids would pull up J's and say, "Kobe"
R.I.P.
thats just because Jordan had the moves to avoid tough shots, when its tough he looks for other opportunities instead of shooting it which is very hard to do in the moment. Kobe was different, he didnt care about how tough it was if he can see the basket hes shooting it. Thats why Kobes shots were more iconic.
Yeah dude! i was born in the 80's and was a kid that started to play and learn basketball in the 90's... I had the luxury to shoot jumpers and say both of their names, sometimes "Jordan", sometimes "Kobe" while fading away, though the results usually say "brick" 😂😂😂
@@LakerGold24-8 Can’t keep LeBron off your mind
It’s amazing I never heard anyone say Lebron when they shoot. Now it’s either still Kobe or it’s curry
@@xredraindbx3861because LeBrons not a shooter
The amount of times the announcer says Kobe Bryant is crazy
35x's LUL worth 81 times ;P his highest scoring game and single player highesy score for lakers
It was a 12 minute video featuring MJ and KB. Of course they’re going to say “Kobe Bryant” a bunch 🤦🏼♂️
Kobe brya-- Kobe Bryant!.. and Kobe Bryant scores another one by Kobe Bryant!
They said his name way more than MJs due to the editing, half of the time it was back to back mentions before he'd finished the last sentence.
Nolan ZW makes sense 🤔
His skills leap off the screen
love how MJ respect and impress with Kobe, even more impress that he teach and tell Kobe how to get better. love both of them - 2 legends
I lovethat angle at 06:42. the close up of Jordan palming the ball, trying to hypnotize Kobe, and Kobe just not having it
MJ all class talking about young kobe. So sad to lose him all the other folks in that accident.
"You are looking at the present(MJ) and the future(Kobe)" he indeed was the future.
RIP KOBE
Actually MJ is still present and Kobe is the past
Literally
@ that will be the case for BOTH men. Not wishing death on anyone but MJ will UNDOUBTEDLY be missed & garner as much if not MORE from around the world

Alexander Gabriel Alqueza than you had to go back re view it again and again and that was just too cool wow you could see it yeah and Kobe gave him the nod like thx bud I'll remember that wow coodos to MJ
Alexander Gabriel Alqueza ... Indeed! That’s a very beautiful moment.
9:55 the mamba's question and his airness' answer
Alexander Gabriel Alqueza hgjhjjjjjhjj
Nn nnnnn.
Jordan has no problem giving advice to make a rival better because he yearns for the competition. That's why these two will never pull a James Harden and flop for the refs. They want their competition to be at their best. They want to beat them without any unsportsmanlike deception or gimmicks.
That move Kobe did on MJ at 3:42 though.. the fadeaway on the king of fadeaways.
MJ starts running back immediately cause he just knows it’s going in. Mad respect there
man who is here after Kobe’s death rip 1978-2020
Still feels unreal its like were living in a parallel universe where he isn't here
It's so fun watching Kobe with his idol. He's looked nervous playing against MJ. But he went off and played his game like he always did! Rest in peace Kobe and may God be with you and your daughter and the others that were lost that tragic day😞
nervous? maybe, but he wasn't too shaken by those nerves, dropping 32 off the bench!
🙏
Amen
@@timacree7177 with tha win mill dunk ;)
(I'm french)
Kobe beats mj face it
“Oh I just wanted to come out and do my job.”
36 points, shot 55% in the field.
obatron-one and keep in mind he was sitting when Kobe had around 24 points. If he stayed in longer he could’ve easily had over 40.
Those two together was amazing. Plus Kobe had the modesty to ask Michael for a tip and Michael graciously gave it to him and publicly stated he had no problem being that way. That’s awesome. I wonder how he feels about Kobe’s tragic death. That truly was a beginning of the passing of the torch.
MJ realised the greatness and talent in young Kobe so he had no option than to mentor Kobe right on the go during this match
Jordan makes the game look so easy, comfortable and natural, even on the interview
5:32 - Jordan is so good that he is in two places at once. People always said that it seemed that way on the court. This is proof.
Haha chilling on the bench while guarding kobe
Lmao
Reading Through History 😂😂😂
Lol
LeBron ain't f****** with Kobe
I remember that game, being a life-long Laker fan with a healthy appreciation and respect for MJ’s Bulls. That interview at the end was definitely the icing on the cake. Amazing.
RIP to the legend. You set MJ as your bar and we could debate back and forth for days if you passed that bar...but dam you sure gave it your absolute best shot.
He actually created his own Bar...
He didn't, I'll save you some time, but there is no shame in that. he's been THE player of the 2000 era, which is a huge thing given the amount of talent we got to see. Let's just celebrate his life and his love for the game.
@@alessiofe We would probably have a similar opinion on the matter, but Koby has a case and it's a case built on a very solid foundation. One thing I'd give Kobe is he had the toughest road out of anyone with 5 titles or more.
@@gtepp031387 I mean, you don't even know how to write his name, come on...
@@alessiofe Lol ok yeah I made a mistake...you can look at my other comments and see it was a mistake

Seriously... despite this video being about Kobe, I was more impressed with Jordan's interview at the end.
Perspective of a GOAT
I was amazed seeing the two NBA legends playing together, the simplicity & humbleness of Kobe Bryant under Micheal Jordan's instructions during the match. What a legend is M.J.!, RIP KOBE and GIANNA BRYANT.

Kobe Proved Himself To Jordan This Day...Jordan Realized He Had No Choice But To Respect His Game! Kobe Wanted The Smoke & Then Some...RIP To A True Legend.
There was no love or wisdom from jordan. He didnt like kobe. You new to the sport?

Dang the respect Michael gave to Kobe
Mike gave respect to every player
@PACOIMAxGmoron???...FOH...y'all weirdo ass Kobe fans, I know the savage Mike was trashin players, I came up through the 80's & 90's watching him. Jordan would go to the extreme with his trash talking but at the end if the day it's all respect, now if you want to be honest Jordan don't look at Kobe like that, truth be told Jordan only see 2 players in his league, Bill Russell and Kareem.... THAT'S IT!!

Then after 22 yrs theres Max Kellerman saying Kawhi better than Kobe under pressure. WTF you smoking man!
Qills Waters true but Kobe has a 10 min video of clutch moments so it's to early to crown him that
He smokin dope sent from chapo & Mayo zambada bro rs 😂
@Qills Waters your wrong Derek Fisher. 03 seconds against the same Spurs team Leonard played for........after both teams swapped clutch shot a piece...... that's the greatest...... hands down
Max is an idiot and has no respect for history what a fool he is
Max is on that bullshit say anything for ratings, there’s no such thing as bad press.
3:55 "You are looking at the present and the future."
Greatest line in NBA.
This game was like looking in a mirror... the fact that Kobe, at 19 years of age, had the audacity to challenge Jordan, in his prime, was unreal. If there was ever a time to impress, it would be in that moment and Kobe made sure he did just that... just imagine if they were both in their primes, it would be a showdown for the ages! The closest player that we'll ever see to MJ will always be Kobe, they'll never be another worthy comparison.
This was the changing of the nba guard. Wow. Epic to rewatch over 20 years later.
Chris Hernandez seems like yesterday
The fact that everyone has to be compared to Jordan, makes Jordan the GOAT

My favorite part is when they talk on the court! The young and HUNGRY icon KOBE eager and willing to learn from the G.O.A.T so he asked Mike. he showed his potential and Mike taught him how to elevate his game more! GREAT GAME!
1:08 that classic move of Jordan became one of Kobes' best offense of all time. Only Kobe has the guts and skills to imitate some of Jordan's moves.
He even taught it to some Filipino college students.
