"In my prime, I don't think I'd lose other than Kobe cause he steals all of my moves" MJ 🐐
LeeTravius Mckay you know he was mocking Kobe.
@@judahmourneth3211 no he wasn't, was it meant to be a joke, sure. But there is underlying respect.
TheA10Thunderbolt of course, he’s Jordan mini me. When he said 5 beats 2, he only said that because Kobe’s his little brother.
@@judahmourneth3211 He's not, he was saying the only one could beat him was Kobe that's it.
Else he could just say no one could beat me
@@TheA10Thunderbolt no it wasn't even meant to be a joke, if anyone watched it they would know. He basically said nobody can beat me, but if anyone can it would be Kobe
Kobe was the "in case you missed it" from God, bc some of us were too young to appreciate Jordan in the 90s
FACTS
Well put.
Very astute comment. Well done
Nice
The most touching thing Kobe said was the reason why he reached out to MJ was because he was just some kid throwinghairballs. It was humbling of him to say that .
Hair balls? Tf?
Air balls buddy lol
@@dwyanewade8645 Look at your keyboard. The H key is right next to the G key. It's easy to see he was trying to put airball but hit the extra h key and missed the spacebar. Use logic.
Can't wait for the Kobe series too. It's gonna be epic
Me too fam
They'd never...too many lequit fans would go into rage mode as they hate kobe
Robert Brent jr no they wouldn’t, stop that man
Lone Wolf nothing really to talk about.
After that, everyone will know kobe better than Lebron
MJ said it himself “the only person that has put in enough work to be worthy of the comparisons is Kobe”. Still applies.
@Roman Blitz lebron does not have the work ethic of kobe or jordan. if he did he would have had a consistent jumper, footwork, and post game. lebron's whole game is relied on his god given athleticism and passing ability. thats why jordan never respected lebron.
@Roman Blitz lmfao sure he does. why doesnt anybody talk about his work ethic then? If he had work ethic he would have more moves than relying on his athleticism to power through people to get and 1s and inflate his fg%. he will never have the aura of a jordan or kobe. forget bout it
@Roman Blitz lebron leaving Cleveland in the first place before the team could draft around lebron for a better squad prolly left a sour taste in MJ mouth because he did give up on Cleveland. MJ never gave up on Chicago until management was trying to do his teammates dirty.
@Roman Blitz it took them 3-4years to build around mj, mj is that type of talent you can build around. That's also what makes him the most complete player man. Yeah no doubt lebron is the best of the newest generation and definitely deserves to be on nba mount Rushmore
@Roman Blitz why would I need to imagine? MJ quit because the owner didnt pay pippen bruh, he was on that team for a solid 13 years and then the owner got greedy. That hurt MJ bro
Kobe truly admired MJ and MJ mentored him without publicity. That's why there's mutual respect.
No cocky king chasin no ghost
"I dont get 5 championships here without him" Kobe Bryant
LeeTravius Mckay actually Kobe, you don’t get 5 rings if it was for Shaq, Phil, and pau.
Judah Mourneth don’t try and diminish Kobe’s greatness . Anybody playing with Shaq for that 3Peat wasn’t getting finals MVP
Brothercal I’m not diminishing anything, I’m simply laying down the facts and what occurred.
Thomas Sankara to be fair, Shaq is a top 10 player of all time. But lebron is also whole Kobe’s not. Lol so it is what it is.
Thomas Sankara he averaged 29/7/6 in the 2001 playoffs. Which sidekick does that?
And what are you talking about trying to somehow compare Dwyane Wade and Shaq, lol. Shaq is levels above this guy and during his peak, in those three years, not even Lebron would win those Finals MVP’s. SHAQ averaged 36/14/4 in those 3 finals combined. Let that sink in
“After Kobe passed”. Damn that hit me hard
ALEX 😔
It still doesn't feel real but it is real .
😥😥😥
Just seeing Kobe on that screen last night and knowing he's not around anymore, man I instantly teared up.
I tear up every time I see Kobe like that too, any man will do it.
@@ra6667 yup, I still cry like a baby.
Mike and Kobe spoke the same language . It’s called GOAT 🐐🔥🔥🔥
Fact
This doesn't surprise me that they had this connection and I'm sure MJ could see alot of himself in Kobe and you can tell MJ could see alot of potential in this young man and like an older brother he wanted to help him as much as he could.
Kobe : hey Michael any advice for my daughter playing basketball at 12?
Michael:.... man at 12 I was trying to play baseball
Haha
This is the best video I've seen of SKip and Shannon. Kobe and MJ were more than GOATS, they were 2 of the realest humans we've seen. RIP Kobe & Nipsey Hussle the great- another legend gone too soon
From "Little Laker Boy" to "Little Brother"
Damn this comment hits😢
KVBVL it hurt man 💯😔
RIP Kobe.
BEST COMMENT..
Damn. He has more LeBron James jerseys in the background than LeBron got rings.
Skip talking about NO one knew how close they were or that they had that type of relationship. But if you follow Kobe like I have and watch his interviews you would have known that he wanted to pick Mike's brain all the time, call him, be mentored by him. I'm confused as to why Skip is so surprised. He didn't know. “Sports journalists” and “basketball experts”.
Armando Koz faxs cuz Skip all 🧢. That funny lookin dude Stan in the Last Dance Doc. Seemed to know more than Skip claims too
Skip's getting old. And all he can apparently focus on is lebron, brady and jordan worship, and dallas cowboys.
Wanting to be mentored by him and actually being mentored by him are two totally different things. Kobe hinted at it, but never said it was going on or how much they talked. No one knew, atop acting like you know something you don't.
Americamera_Jay 84 Stan knows more about the early Bulls teams. Skip wasn’t around heavily until the 2nd 3peat
Facts. Like the whole world knew Jordan and Kobe was brothers. So why didn't the so called sports experts know that.
Kyrie was Kobe Lil bro like he was to MJ. That’s why he called him after he won the chip
Lol kyrie threw
Reaching
@@JoeSmith-iv3sf that's not reaching it's a fact lol anybody can Google that relationship
Joe Smith I mean Kyrie was very close to Kyrie but the dude that reminds me of Kobe Bryant right now is Jason Tatum
Joe Smith it’s not reaching as type relationship Kyrie is just a small guard that’s the difference
It's been touchy for me watching 'The Last Dance'. When thinking of Kobe's untimely demise.
Kobe was always more like MJ; while Bron was more like Magic
Oscar Robertson you mean. Lebrons game is nothing like Magic’s.
Nah.
@@FlexSZN23 facts !!
“I wont loose to anyone other than Kobe Bryant” MJ
MJ knew kobe was a full bright moon that reflected the light of Jordans Sun and just that reflection is enough to outshine all the other stars, including Lebron.
In other words, You not even on Kobes level and you think u got a shot at me?!?
Kobe also worked out with Olajuwon for his footwork
Soo did Dwight Howard
Loc T facts
Richard Torres shut up
My Channel shut up idiot
You prob a LeBron fan who mad because kobe had the best footwork better then Mike and LeBron didn't master his olajuwon training
KOBE & MJ ARE THE GOATS OF BASKETBALL PERIOD💯💯💯💯💯💯🗿🗿
If Skip was covering the Bulls so closely in 98, why ain't he in the doc?
he left ESPN
@@coldbrewandoatmilk David Aldridge is in the doc and he doesn't work for ESPN anymore. He was let go back in 04.
Skip be making stuff up.
Because they hated him.
Skip hasn’t changed.
@@CorbCorbin Why'd they hate him?
Imagine how a 19 year old Kobe felt playing against a legend like Jordan for the first time
Bille and he lived up to it, I feel there are a lot of instances where meeting your idol can go wrong but for them to not only show you “yeah I’m still the master but let me share my knowledge with you so that you can one day carry the torch” is a exceeding that for sure
Idk but he dropped a facial on him from about 25 feet with Mike right on top of him. At 19
Excited. Definitely not scared like most players.
Jordan, Kobe conversations from now on...
No more Lebron comparisons
1neOf 1ne I agree,Kobe is the only one who can be compared to MJ
Roman Blitz how can u say that?!?!? Lol what dominance. Where?? He’s never ever been dominant and he’s never been feared or revered by anyone y’all just make this stuff up as u go along, damn that’s so sad.
Because lebron has played longer he has more minutes.
GOD DAMN SKIP Now LeBron’s friendship is being compared and analyzed? Why even mention the man
Lebron overplayed his relationship with Kobe. That's fact.
Kobe > Lebron
For sure!
Not for me
Young Jeezy!!
jcnba28 facts
Tf. Its obvious lol.
Wait Skip didnt realize the bond Kobe and Michael had? Kobe would talk about it a lot in the 2000s, I guess they didnt pay attention?
Exactly
Consider this: Kobe grew up a different color in a different country. Had to be a loaner as a child in that environment. Once he blossoms & starts getting recognition it's like a drug & he can't stop. He needs it, because he can't ever go back to being that little quiet black kid in Italy. Since I've overcome all this, I'm ready 95% dudes ain't built like this. And if they are, I'll out work them. Cause I'm never going back to being irrelevant again
CAN SKIP GO 1 DAY WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT LEBRON
MIZZY 412 can Shannon?
@@firstname2022 clearly no if Skip brings him up stupid
@@BigWilt2000 FAXTS LIKE WHY WOULD HE BRIN UP LEBRON TRYNA COMPARE THEY RELATIONSHIP
Haters love LeBron, they're like Jonah Jameson and LeBron is their Spiderman.
Rip kobe 🙏🏾
But Mike had that same energy on DEFENSE
yeah kobe did too he has 12 all defensive teams throughout his career (9x First Team, 3x Second Team), tied for 2nd most all time.
Kobe and Jordan both have 9 all defensive first teams.
Considering Kobe didn’t have a great relationship with his Dad, I’m sure Jordan filled that void in a way.
For the record. Lebron went to see Hakeem because he saw Kobe do it first
MJ was the original. Kobe was the remix.
darienswan24 that’s Kobe in top 5 players of all time he my #2 JORDAN-KOBE-MAGIC-Wilt-James
true
Yall need to stop mentioning Lebron in the same breath with MJ and Kobe. just stop.
David Johnson Sr chill bruh you damn well Bron is better then Kobe
@@willfriday4236 let me guess that stats say lebron is better well than in that case wilt is better than lebron
Lol Bron is better than Kobe that's not really a debate. Kobe and Tim Duncan, that's a debate
@@christopherkb2432 Lebron has more career and playoff points than Wilt
Christopher kb24 Lebron is better then Kobe and it is not even close It’s just that Kobe’s game is ALOT more similar to Jordan than Lebron Also Kobe is way more clutch then Lebron ect. Lebron is just the better player overall
Imagine Prime MJ & Kobe on the same team. Unstoppable
@imahelpfulperson imo Kobe will become much more better than he is if he play under the wing of MJ.
How did Lebron get brought up in a mj and Kobe conversation
covid should have hit sooner. kobe would be still here and be interviewed about mj docu
The friendship between those two gets to me emotionally. It ishard to explain but maybe Kobe being gone is what really gets to the heart. That dynamic competing against each other was so awesome. Kobe's admiration of Mike and the fact Mike was receptive. Im glad I witnessed all of that. Legends
Kobe was 35 years old and was still stoppin lebron on d...💯
"That lil Laker boy"
Reason is simple. Real recognize real.
Exactly!
Skip loves Jordan but doesn't have four damn Jordan jerseys behind him! Shannon is getting paid by Lebron's camp.
Skip doesn’t know Michael Jordan personally, Shannon isn’t qualified to speak on sports his narrative flip flops every other week.
To all of us Chicago Boys, Kobe was the last great super star, not Lebron, he does not have the mental stability of Michael or Kobe. Magic was our favorite until the new Sheriff Jordan arrived!
Shannon keep tryna push this narrative that MJ don't pass. In the '91 finals, vs Magic, MJ averaged 11.4 assists.
LeBron has never done that.
That's the exact year Phil got MJ to start trusting his teammates, b4 that there was a reluctance to pass, Uncle Shay didn't lie about the lack of passing lol
@Ghost2000 No such thing as a bad team making the finals. This isn't football where you can win one lucky game. Or baseball where you only gotta see the Ace 2-3 times a series.
It's disrespectful to the other players who contribute to the regular season/post season success to act like 1 guy did it all.
@Ghost2000LeBron left and Kevin Love played 22 games. . .
KD left and Steph played about the same 22 games, and they're in line for the #1 pick. Does that make the Warriors a bad team?
Ghost2000 that's true cuz all I heard was kd beat lebron ....all I remember was damn where did Steph Klay n draymond go 🤔
Phil tells MJ to share the ball with the same teammates who'd been there before Phil took over, and to allow Pippen to run the offense. MJ listened and they start winning. This proves how bad MJ's IQ was without Phil... MJ can't be considered the GOAT.
The image of Jordan crying at Kobes funeral was so real.
True But imagine if it was Jordans funeral than kobe's / kobe would be Saad 2
Here’s the goat tier
🐐 Jordan
🐍 Kobe
👑 James
I’m a lebron lover don’t argue with me 😑
I got to witness both in the ‘96 ‘97 season when Kobe got drafted and then on. Instantly saw them as my 2 favorite players of all time. When I found out Kobe was gone I stayed watching Kobe highlights and games against MJ like I used to watch as a kid. He was destined for greatness off the court. Rest up Kobe Bean Black mamba Bryant the greatest
That quote made me respect Kobe even more, dude has the humility, not like some self proclaimed king /goat
Kobe: "I dont get 5 championships without HIM"
LeBron: "That right there made me the greatest player of all time..."
kids: well 3-6 beats 5-2 and 6-0
cortezmauricio56 yeah but lebron is greater and better than Kobe.
@@judahmourneth3211 in stats but no one really cares about that, it's about winning more then you loose like titles and having real respect and getting it in return, lebron isnt in kobe mjs magic level
cortezmauricio56 how can you not care about stats, that’s apart of the game. You can’t just simply ignore that. Lebron has the stats over Kobe, higher basketball IQ, all around he’s a better basketball player. Kobe has the rings (collectively) but he was the help for 3 of those rings. He only lead the lakers to 2 rings, 2fmvps and 1 mvp.
Stop it bruh, Kobe is great, but when you actually break down Kobe’s career it’s far from what the narrative claims.
@@judahmourneth3211 higher iq? lol its fine that you kids started being bandwagons.. in 2012 you only know nba cause fraud espn tell you to like sheep
Last Dance documentary saving sport's news 🤣
I’m tryna here magic and bird rank Kobe. Cause even magic in the 2000s was saying Kobe was comming on Jordan. Now all of a sudden no one even mentions him in the top 10.!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!
I'd give my whole paycheck to see the entire text exchanges between Jordan and Kobe
Skip gotta compare lebron to kobes relatioship... get outta here. U didnt know jordan was close to kobe, how do u know he wasnt close to Bron.
MJ calls kobe his little bro. He ain't never call lebron his lil bro
@@RKO859 sorry, i didnt know u knew them personally, im sure u share absolutely everything u do in ur life with everyone.
All im saying is that we will never know. Skip always has to trash bron in some way and its annoying bumm
Obviously you didn’t watch Kobe’s interviews, nor Kobe’s memorial with MJ’s eulogy. Most hardcore ballers knew about Kobe/Jordan close bond. They were like true bros. MJ and LeBron are not even friends. LeBron admitted they never had a conversation.
@@timmyg831 you obviously dont get the point. This documentary is about MJ. Not about Lebron, so there is no reason to even bring his name up.
For all we know, kobe and bron probably had a really good relationship. Maybe they did, maybe they didnt. YOU need to understand that we will never truly know. SKIP needs to stop trashing bron. All im saying.
Bu.m
Lebron- Wade relationship is like MJ Kobe that's the best comparison
Can't wait for LeBron James Documentary:
NBA Player with the Biggest Heart.
Spurs 2x
Mavericks 1x
Warriors 3x
Lebron James "The King" gave Rings 6x
MJ took Rings 6x
FrenSy TV and the part where he won 3 ppl talk about the losses like you always gotta win Jordan is the only player without a finals lost on his resume "the only" if it was that easy to do it then nobody would have a lost you're not winning 8 straight finals idc if you're MJ it's not possible
you guys talking about kobe and jordan so much made me forget he was gone for a few seconds, and then it hits you again. KOBE :(
I think skip bayless is a secret LBJ fan. He probably roots for him more the did with Jordan lol. Cause Lebron lives rent free in his head.
I got a feeling it’s in his contract that he has to talk about him.
I think skip just wants lebron to be great and live up 2 Jordan's legacy dont don yourself the goat when u know who's the greatest
And Jordan on Shannon's head
Kinda like MJ's lifetime free lease in LBJ's dome
@@JohnSmith-ns4gt u thought about that all day huh another mans free release on another man
Shannon: Kobe wanted to be just like MJ but he didnt take his Jersey #23
Lebron James has flopped and traveled into the chat 💀
kobe's not looking to pass the ball? he averaged almost 5 assists. while that's not considered great assist numbers, it still shows he passed the ball.
Augustine Choi especially for a SG. He had the most assists for a SG if I’m not mistaken too
@@CobaltFlunky yes, youre right. averaging almost 5 assists per game as a 2 guard is impressive.
Kobe is the Greatest compliment on how great MJ is.
Immitation is the highest form of flattery
Skip is pathetic for bringing up Lebron damn make it about MJ and Kobe relationship
Agreed he can't help himself it's pretty sad, and meanwhile the other guy has five LeBron jerseys hanging up behind him.
Only explanation is that Skip's so insecure about LeBron's status in comparison to his all-time favorite's so he feels he's gotta work nonstop bashing LeBron
Nobody knew how close MJ and Kobe had become. I would love to have been a fly on the wall listening to them talk basketball. 🐐 and 🐍
Kobe the GOAT Bryant
Greatest ever
Why does Shannon have 3 of the same yellow LeBron laker jerseys behind him 😂😂😂😂
Skip is obsessed with letting people know he covered the bulls .must be Angry he wasn’t invited for the documentary.
Shannon sharp just hates on kobe but kobe always gone be better than lebron five rings and stay with lakers won rings for his team dident go joing super. Team to win a ring nobody code stop mj or kobe lebron u just foul him and he miss free throue shots
Everybody wants to be like mike but very few actually become like mike and kobe was the only one who litterally did it . 5 titles only one away from jordan . I hate how lebron tries to act like hes close to kobe lol kobes homie was jordan period.
Kobe is the ultimate proof that Michael would have been just as dominant playing in different eras because Kobe dominated many years while playing like Michael Jordan.
It could be said that the only person to reach mj's standards was Kobe Bean Bryant. Same goes for kobe, the only person he saw could reach his standards is mj.
Real recognize real. MJ knew they were cut from the same cloth. The goat’s last All Star game in a Bulls uniform at the Mecca of basketball Madison Square and Kobe was the topic in the locker room. Speaks volumes about Kobe. Mamba Forever
Still hard for me to watch any footage with Kobe in it. A big part of me still cannot believe he is no longer here. 2020 has been horrible 😢
Same feeling bro 😢
Same feeling
How is this stunning??? Kobe himself said it before he passed and Michael said it at Kobe funeral and people close to them has said it for years
Shannon always got something negative to say about MJ!. Smh , Such a labron lover
Mike imparting knowledge to Kobe proves that if Jordan played in that era he would’ve garnished 5 more rings.
Lol even hating on Lebron not having a better relationship with kobe, lol, this guy is beyond a hater
Shannon you have the faker Lechina James why is that not even close
It's funny that this was a very short part of the beginning of chapter 5, but the impact speaks volumes.
Shannon mad Jordan didn't give Lebron the praise.
How does skip make everything about Lebron ... skip would have no career with Bron, at all
Who is Skip gone D ride when Bron retires? He won't have nothing to talk about when that happens
Skip Bayless needs to tone down on the Lebron hate at this point it’s so pathetic and makes him lose credibility
Only explanation is that he's insecure about LeBron's status in comparison to his all-time favorite's so he's gotta work nonstop bashing LeBron
I watched Episode 5. I thought for a second that Seinfeld was Skip "I was there" Bayless.
Kenneth Perlado a lot of ppl won’t get this reference lol I love it lls
😂
😂😂 im tired of him saying he was there lol we know skip
How ironic, that these 2 had been dissing Kobe when he was playing and even when he retired... Now they saying they have high respects for the mamba... This is the kind of business this 2 are running
"Michael Jordan hands were something special..Kobe could not palm the Basketball" - Phil Jackson
RUSTY NAIL faxs I think episode 4 or 5 he get passed the ball an catches it out of mid air with one hand
Help me out here, did Jordon play for the Cowboys? If not they are going off script here.
And here I go thinking for the 1st time in Skip's career Lebron James won't get mentioned! Never fails....
Skip you outta pocket bro 🤦🏽♂️
As much as an MJ fan and how i would always wanna give him the credit he deserved, it was because of kobe wanting to be great as well. Im pretty much sure even if MJ didnt embraced kobe like a true younger brother, kobe wouldve still became great because he wanted to. Just became easier because MJ was willing to pass the torch and help kobe protect that torch.
Shannon doesn't like MJ
Kobe was one of the greatest NBA Players to win championships
Shannon should understand that LeBron has no match to Kobe Bryant...
Haha, Kobe couldn't average 48%fg in a regular season, bron averages 50.5%fg for his career youngin
Be at peace Kobe and GiGi , GOAT and future GOAT
Someone's been hitting the gym in self-quarantine... And I ain't talking Shannon. Good stuff.
I haven’t watched it yet but I already feel like Lebron’s gonna be mentioned.
Topic was Kobe and Jordan’s relationship but then Skips brings up how Kobe had a better connection with MJ than Lebron 😂😂 this man needs to retire
Jordan was the youngest boy in the family. He had a younger sister, but his brothers were both older. Maybe he saw Kobe as the little brother he never had.
Kobe and MJ mentality were such on a high level, it's a very select few, where they can share that same bond.
M.J is the reason why basketball is the no.1 sports of all sports ..and why is the nike is on the top of all sneakers ....jordan is the G.O.A.T no one can compare he is the great of all greats ..20 more years from now the name Michael Jordan never been forgotten ...he is the statue of basketball sports
