Jordan saw Kobe as a son to a degree. He saw himself in Kobe that’s why he helped him so much. Phill Jackson brought a 18 year old Kobe to meet Jordan and Kobe told him you can’t guard me. Jordan laughed and said you can’t guard me. Then later on as they were leaving Jordan told Phil Jackson I love that kid.
Scottie said this to MJ during a workout when Kobe first entered the league: "there's a new kid plays like you, walks like you, talks like you, he even sticks his tongue out like you"
Not a trash talk but that's why I put Jordan over Kobe. Jordan was so far ahead of his time that his skills were used on a younger generation and still propelled Kobe above the rest. That being said, just because you can do someone's moves doesn't mean you can be as effective. Kobe deserves to be in the top 1% of basketball players in the history of the game.
@@the83rdtrombonist60 I do agree MJ is the greatest of all time! especially the physical game that it was in that era... and Kobe took off from exactly where MJ had left off, I respect Kobe not because of 81 point game, or how good of a game closer he was... but having the same kind of mentality and just as competitive as MJ, something pretty rare to see these days. and when you earn the respect from MJ, that's good enough with me and as a father myself now I respect Kobe even more for the kind of loving father he is! .... just sad man!
@@the83rdtrombonist60 yup. I found it kind of stupid when people ridicule Kobe for stealing Jordan's moves and game. Sure Jordan was much better, but they are both kind of the same player: 6'6, shooting guards, scorers. You don't see people ridiculing big men for basically all being the same and playing the same way: Shaq, Wilt, Russel, Olajuwon, Ewing, Mourning, David Robinson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, etc. So Kobe playing like Mike is just normal. Just being able to play like him and do his moves and all is in itself impressive and an accomplishment very few can even replicate.
Vighnesh Ramesh ANYONE CAN STILL A MOVE BUT THING IS CAN YOU MAKE IT WORK 4 YOU AS IT DID 4 MJ & KOBE DID THE DAMN THANG 5 CHIPS, GOLD MEDALS & MVP NO OTHER PLAYER SINCE COULD WORK IT LIKE MIKE TAUGHT IT.........
You don't have to find the next Michael Jordan, he just happen to come along! Kobe is just like mj but a total different person because mj is mj and kobe is kobe each both great and a hero in their own era! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
"I told him he should feel the defense with your legs" MJ looking out for the next generation. He didn't have to tell him anything Seeing Kobe smiling at MJ advice puts a smile on my face. The respect was huge between them Like MJ Kobe gave advice to majority of the players we see today and quite frankly I'm happy he did. You'll be missed for sure and your memories will forever live in our hearts
Warriorsaretrash! Kobe is the greatest Laker, so he's already better than like 3 of the guys you mentioned. I'll give you MJ and Bird but Kobe is better than the other guys
Issho What's funny is that, for all the stats, LeBron hasn't been able to lead one team to more than two championships. But hey, those triple doubles look real nice.
Why he was always compares to Mj because of his humbleness....accepting that he come along but still there was One who been before him....his mentor...he was taught and learned...now his getting all the greatness his teacher pass to him...his legacy
Isn’t it amazing to witness 2 versions of the same player. One passing the torch to another, and that other continued to dominate the league for the next 12 straight years
Kobe and MJ are the same dynamic. As this video shows here, their game was to use their legs to create the amount of space needed to put up shots, and their work ethic allowed them to make some amazing shots: fades, under the bucket, through traffic, etc. LeBron is an arm and force dynamic. He is more likely to get you to close, that when you try to make a move he can step out or push away to make his incredible shots. Just looking at these 3, I would say they are the top. I am not going to say one is better when it is a team sport and teams make or break. Stats and titles only highlight performance. Wins highlight achievements. Fans highlight icons.
Kobe relized he had to be like Mike to be as good or better than Mike. He took that jumper and he made it his own. You never one time will mistake Kobe and Jordan. Both are very unique and noticable. He probably used those moves because thats (in kobes mind) probably the best player to have ever picked up a ball. He was probably more than honored to be compared to Jordan and after seeing his skill set i can promise Jordan wasnt ashamed to hear that. Kobe ALWAYS gave 145% no matter what. In the playoffs his teammates said he was first one in the gym at 3am and last one out at 12am EVERY SINGLE DAY. The pressure of being in the playoffs is enormous. He was only getting at max 2 1/2 hours of sleep a night(thats 17 hours of sleep a week where a normal person is getting 56 hours a week) and still went hard in the mfing paint nd set that big of a name for himself
Who would've ever thought Kobe would leave us before MJ... So sad

That pic of Kobe being next to Jordan and MJ answering his questions is one of the best NBA moments ever.
Yet, people call Jordan selfish. If someone was willing to work, Jordan would give you advice. Kobe became what Scottie was supposed to be.
I love that "Don't be in a rush to try to find the next Michael Jordan. First of all, you didn't find me. I just happen to came along and you don't have to find that next person. It'll just happen."
Threvi Vacal how wise he is
Very humble for a player of his caliber
Amen n it will
Another good line I like from Kobe was when he said
I'm not trying to be the next Michael Jordan I'm going to become the first Kobe Bryant
Jordan and Kobe, the most dangerous killers to ever play

This is so poignant now.
He knew he was gonna be the real like mike guy. He was right
Yeah Ahmad Rashad tells the story
Both had the same amount of arrogance. Most were scared of Mike so it was refreshing for Mike to meet someone who wasn't scared of him
Sounds like Little bro trying to one up big bro and let big bro know I can dance with you too

Was never a Kobe fan. But now that he’s gone, this tears me up. He was an absolute professional and an awesome father. Wish he was still here.
Rest in peace MAMBA ... Long Live AIR JORDAN
Brazil love you mamba
This when the nba was actually fun to watch. Now its just 3 point contest every night
thikk252 ikr.. stupid warriors
Real Talk! 100% agree. Wish the rules were how they were back in the mid 90s. Game nowadays is so predictable and barely any defense being played.
Yeah it's all about who makes the most 3's in a night nowadays. Before it was competitive and harder to beat teams
