The biggest honor for Michael Jordan is that the Kobe Bryant family chose him to induct Kobe Bryant. This will send Michael into the stratosphere even more than he already was. What an honor.
Well MJ and Kobe did have a great relationship. Since Phil came to the Lakers 1999-2000 season. Phil Wrote in his Book about it and had MJ reach out to Kobe from time to time.
The creepy thing is, Kobe even talked and walked like mike. Kobe’s most famous quote „jobs not finished” is by Michael aswell. He said that during the run in 97 or 98 lol
Nothing but respect for Kobe. Cant knock a man that gives his all to whatever he does.. He was truly a great player and should be remember as such. He inspired many in others sports and in life with his work effort. Champion forever.
@@michaelwest2405 I’m not disrespecting Kobe at all bro I’m a fan. Just saying that MJ is deeply hurt by Kobe’s unfortunate demise. The way he talked about Kobe was much deeper than just a BROTHER in my eyes. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, if that makes any sense.
I agree MJ was more of a father figure towards Kobe than big bro little bro. Shaq was like a big bro little bro relationship with Kobe. Idc what no 1 says, no disrespect to Kobe’s father and MJ’s sons but it makes to much sense
Mike and Kobe were like Yoda and Luke. Mike damn near compliments NO MEN, and he's willing to say Kobe is good. Mike can joke and say Kobe stole his moves but there's a reason Mike liked Kobe so much, Mike knew he was raising a monster.
And Kobe probably did work harder than MJ, but MJ also was one of the hardest worker and had MORE talent. MJ was faster and could jump higher and they both had immense talent. Respect to two GOATs.
@@jassangha1062 They both have talked about each other respectfully be it basketball or just life in general. My question to you is why would either waste airtime/breath congratulating or complimenting if it wasn't real?
Kobe is my favorite player and my greatest motivator. The only regret that I have is to not meet him before he passed. Time will go by but I won’t forget you. RIP my goat.
Been saying the same thing. He would have had atleast two more. I can really see him having 3 more chips, one more regular season MVP and maybe 2 FMVPs. That would have truly changed his legacy and made him top 4/5 all time.

Kobe didn't just want to be like Jordon, Kobe wanted to be the best to ever play the game. and he thought that learning from Jordon would help him become that. and training relentlessly would make him even better than Jordon ever was. and I do think that Kobe at his best was maybe even better than Jordon. like in the playoffs when the Lakers swept a very good Spurs team. Kobe was just amazing, and winning two titles with Gasol who wasn't at the level of a Scottie Pippin. Personally I think Kobe and Jordon were both amazing and I can't really put one above the other. every great player is great because of the players that came before them. and that is why basketball players of today are better than basketball players of the past. but I wish the game could somehow figure out a way to make the two point jump shot relevant again. and I think some of the old way of playing and rules were better. now its all cut to the basket and dish out to the three point shooter. Go Lakers
You know it’s genuine and serious If MJ himself is saying this. He NEVER admits to weakness or say a person is better than him at anything. RIP Kobe. Respect to MJ.
From the 🐐 himself to almost every player ranking Kobe top 5 to even the owners who started complaining when CP3 was supposed to play with Kobe and had the trade vetoed. It’s only the media that disrespected and still sometimes disrespect Kobe because he didn’t give them a lot to work with. Kind of a similar thing is going on with Kyrie right now but obviously he’s not on THAT level.
i agree. the media and everyone always wanted mj to be the goat so they always elevated him no matter what. the media and fans throughout the country besides in LA didn’t want kobe to be the best so he will never be looked at as that because people denied him that respect when he was alive.
@@15r52 2 GOATs of their own generation. No such thing as one greatest player of all time because the game is always changing and there is always new people coming to make their mark and to break records. Only people who exceed above everyone in their generation
@@BlackRoyalty_ greatest of all time literally means the Greatest of all time i don't know how i can make it for clear for you, greatest dictionary meaning "highest in Quality", MJ is the GOAT solo theres no such thing as two GOATs
Rest in Peace James Jordan🕊️ and Rest in Peace 🕊️Kobe Bryant got the tears out of Michael Jordan eyes that's how he really love them deeply inside as a competitor and as a man...
Kobe also didn't need to be carried off after he tore his Achilles. I believe he did cry when he found out he tore it. And Kobe held back tears in 2008 after Lakers lost by 39 to the Celtics.
in a way Kobe's passing was a way of teaching Jordan to loosen up a little & allow himself to be vulnerable. Jordan spent Kobe's entire life teaching him...but Kobe gave him the final lesson in life.
Was able to see Kobe and Heat Era LeBron play in person during the lockout shortened season. LeBron played well and the Heat were impressive but when Kobe came to town he made the whole building electric. Kobe (wearing the black face guard) buried a buzzer beating shot. I’ll Never forget that night.
I remember that!! Kobe > Lebron imo! FEARLESS! Lebrons afraid to miss so he never shoots when his team's down, he only shoots if the game is tied or they are up 1 score.
@@ludvigwittgenstein6469 are you sure because the statitistics say lebron does buzzer beaters and go ahead shots the best, but hey just go off why don't you.
@@xaviervega468 Playoff winners are circumstantial. Bron's hit more playoff winners than Bron too, doesnt make him better, or even more clutch (smaller sample size). Winning RINGS is clutch. Lebron's proven over and over that he will shy from the moment if his team is down. He'lll only shoot it if his team is tied. He aint clutch bro. Everybody knows this. Hence why NBA GMs, when polled, picked Kobe as the guy they'd want to take the last shot in a game...for 9 years STRAIGHT before Durant - and then Curry - took that mantle amongst NBA GMS...Who know a thing or two about hoops. Lebron aint clutch.
Kobe fans are tweeners between the Jordan and LeBron eras. The teeeners who were perhaps too late to watch Jordan's prime and before LeBron fans born mostly post-1990. Kobe is MJ to a Millennial Laker Nation generation.
As I struggled with a serious autoimmune disease over the years, I would always find Kobe inspiring. The way he fought through injuries and never gave up. It pushed me at times when I was down. It may sound cheesy, but it really helped me get to where I am today. RIP Kobe.
It's not cheesy at all, Kobe is definitely a great role model, full of wisdom. If you're looking for another role model, search David Goggins on TH-cam. He is a former marine, navy seal, marathon athlete with an unbelievable story and accomplishments. He has a book out called "Can't hurt me"
@@daez88 Undisputed: "Is Kobe top 10 all-time?" Undisputed: "Is Lebron the GOAT?" daez88: "you are blinded by hate..." Kobe is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. Most ACTUAL NBA PLAYERS rank him higher than Lebron: Shaq, Barkley, Magic, Bird, Durant, Jim Jackson, Stephon Jackson, etc etc etc
@@ludvigwittgenstein6469 there was nothing said about hate in this comment it's all respect what I do hate is when you point out differences or preference it comes out like hate all when watching them play it's art at it's finest but I will defend my preference
The Flu Game or the Food Poisoning or Bad Pizza Game, Jordan hits a three after Bryon Russell covered Scottie for no apparent reason. MJ had also key rebounds in that Game 7 vs Indiana. He hit FTs late to ice the Blazers in '92.
LeBron James and Shannon Sharpe have both said seeing Michael Jordan in person is like seeing God. Well, Kobe wanted to chat with God all time when he was alive. Now Kobe is up there with the real God. 🕊
If you asked Kobe who was better, of course he'll say he's better than Mike. But the same thing would be said from Mike saying he's better than Kobe. They do have egos. Neither men would back down from each other going 1-on-1.
Yes because it wasn’t the normal show dynamic of one guy has to be pro Lebron and the other has to be pro Jordan. I’m sure Shannon thinks both are basically at the top. I wouldn’t be surprised if Skip actually believes Jordan is better though. We all know Jordan was a competitive God. He just had a different level of focus.
Michael Jordan also mentioned he cried watching Iverson's documentary and said he loves that little guy. Michael Jordan is the basketball GOAT but he's also the GOAT with crying in public.
Kobe wasn't really better than Jordan though. Not better or greater. Just certain things like his handles and 3-PT range. But Jordan in his prime really was superior to Kobe in most areas.
This should only be time to celebrate Kobe and his legacy. All of you using this time to bash LeBron need to go somewhere else. You are actually disrespecting Kobe. They both are great and they were close with each other it is well documented. Kobe had said plenty of times that him and LeBron were friends and that they respected each other. Yall are weirdo's using someone's unfortunate and untimely death to spew hate out into the world. If you learned anything from Kobe and his situation it should be that we need to just appreciate people while they are alive.

Personally I think Kobe and Jordon were both amazing and I can't really put one above the other. every great player is great because of the players that came before them. and that is why basketball players of today are better than basketball players of the past. but I wish the game could somehow figure out a way to make the two point jump shot relevant again. and I think some of the old way of playing and rules were better. now its all cut to the basket and dish out to the three point shooter. Go Lakers
Imagine if Kobe decided to hop from team to team and ring chase. He would have 9-12 rings easily.
But he didn't have that soft Leflop mentality 💯
🤣🤣🤣. Dead. He was def bout to roll out until they brought in Pau
@@MrChazb1987 but did he lol
9-12 rings 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly and that's why lebron overrated, and not even close to being the goat
I was never a kobe fan growing up, but he was tough as they come!
Cuz u were just a hater

You know it’s genuine and serious If MJ himself is saying this. He NEVER admits to weakness or say a person is better than him at anything. RIP Kobe. Respect to MJ.
Back to back air balls in crunch time early in his career as teenager and now look at him, one of the greatest to step on the court
Kobe didn't really play until his 3rd year. His freshman year he literally had less than 10 games so idk where you getting your facts from

Skip knows he hurting 😂😂
From the 🐐 himself to almost every player ranking Kobe top 5 to even the owners who started complaining when CP3 was supposed to play with Kobe and had the trade vetoed.
It’s only the media that disrespected and still sometimes disrespect Kobe because he didn’t give them a lot to work with. Kind of a similar thing is going on with Kyrie right now but obviously he’s not on THAT level.
agreed
i agree. the media and everyone always wanted mj to be the goat so they always elevated him no matter what. the media and fans throughout the country besides in LA didn’t want kobe to be the best so he will never be looked at as that because people denied him that respect when he was alive.
Jordan and Kobe had that Zoro/Mihawk relationship.
That's one of the best anologies to be honest.
He even cut his hair off like Mike in the beginning 😂😂 that was love
I'm still combing through Last Dance footage tryna find Skip "I was there" Bayless 🥴
Haaaaa!
🤣🤣
Lmao this is hilarious but Skip was a Chicago sports reporter so he was there
Rent free 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Kobe was baby bro to MJ! Man..mamba mentality for 20 years. 🐍
Man for MJ to admit that shows you how much he respected Kobe. The 2 GOATS! 🐐🐐
GOAT means greatest of all time no disrespect but i keep seeing it used wrong MJ is the GOAT thats it.
@@15r52 2 GOATs of their own generation. No such thing as one greatest player of all time because the game is always changing and there is always new people coming to make their mark and to break records. Only people who exceed above everyone in their generation

Props to Shannon for making it thru a segment without mentioning LeFraud
Just realized this lol
Rest in Peace James Jordan🕊️ and Rest in Peace 🕊️Kobe Bryant got the tears out of Michael Jordan eyes that's how he really love them deeply inside as a competitor and as a man...
Kobe also didn't need to be carried off after he tore his Achilles. I believe he did cry when he found out he tore it. And Kobe held back tears in 2008 after Lakers lost by 39 to the Celtics.
Being carried off would have been smarter. How much more damage you think Kobe did walking on a torn Achilles?
You know LBJ is gonna watch the induction with the will smith face saying to himself "How come he don't want me man?"
Not everything about lebron
Why are we talking about lebron y’all are really werid😂
lol
Buzz off
@@willfriday4236 Exactly like dam LeBron James isn't God
in a way Kobe's passing was a way of teaching Jordan to loosen up a little & allow himself to be vulnerable. Jordan spent Kobe's entire life teaching him...but Kobe gave him the final lesson in life.
Damn Kobe we miss you man. Rest in peace 🙏
Kobe didnt want to be mj, he wanted to learn from him to create his own monster.....the (MAMBA)!!

1:29 “Kobe’s homegoing” 😭
Was able to see Kobe and Heat Era LeBron play in person during the lockout shortened season. LeBron played well and the Heat were impressive but when Kobe came to town he made the whole building electric. Kobe (wearing the black face guard) buried a buzzer beating shot. I’ll Never forget that night.
I remember that!! Kobe > Lebron imo! FEARLESS! Lebrons afraid to miss so he never shoots when his team's down, he only shoots if the game is tied or they are up 1 score.
@@ludvigwittgenstein6469 are you sure because the statitistics say lebron does buzzer beaters and go ahead shots the best, but hey just go off why don't you.
@@ludvigwittgenstein6469 Lebron hit more playoff game winners than Kobe did.
@@xaviervega468 Playoff winners are circumstantial. Bron's hit more playoff winners than Bron too, doesnt make him better, or even more clutch (smaller sample size).
Winning RINGS is clutch. Lebron's proven over and over that he will shy from the moment if his team is down. He'lll only shoot it if his team is tied. He aint clutch bro.
Everybody knows this. Hence why NBA GMs, when polled, picked Kobe as the guy they'd want to take the last shot in a game...for 9 years STRAIGHT before Durant - and then Curry - took that mantle amongst NBA GMS...Who know a thing or two about hoops.
Lebron aint clutch.
@@jakelongize there’s more to it than stats
Kobe fans are tweeners between the Jordan and LeBron eras. The teeeners who were perhaps too late to watch Jordan's prime and before LeBron fans born mostly post-1990. Kobe is MJ to a Millennial Laker Nation generation.
No one ever mentions how he even changed his playing number from 8 to 24 still thinking he would be able to try, and one up his big brother MJ!
24 was his first High school number🤦🏿♂️
Also because his contract with Adidas was over.
@@rontontizzy6404 Think that had anything to do with MJ? Even if it was in high-school?
@@rontontizzy6404 Kobe said it was still about being one up from Jordan who was 23
Never one up him on anything in the court
Let’s not forget Kobe dropped 51 on Mj & Scotty imo Kobe is the Goat idc what anyone says it’s my opinion lbs
As I struggled with a serious autoimmune disease over the years, I would always find Kobe inspiring. The way he fought through injuries and never gave up. It pushed me at times when I was down. It may sound cheesy, but it really helped me get to where I am today. RIP Kobe.
It's not cheesy at all, Kobe is definitely a great role model, full of wisdom. If you're looking for another role model, search David Goggins on TH-cam. He is a former marine, navy seal, marathon athlete with an unbelievable story and accomplishments. He has a book out called "Can't hurt me"
Already know I’m going to cry during the induction. RIP Mamba
How come skip wasn’t in the last dance 💃🏽
Kobe 24 FOREVER! The 🐐 after the first 🐐
The Greatest Lakers Ever KOBE 🐍
Finally Kobe getting his due. Kobe had more guts in his toenail clippings than Lebron had in 10 lifetimes.
So commented this why your really werid
THANK YOU!!!! Kobe was FEARLESS, Lebron is shook.
That's crazy because Kobe had mad respect for lebron like mj had for him shame you are blinded by hate torch will always be passed down
@@daez88 Undisputed: "Is Kobe top 10 all-time?"

Kobe is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. Most ACTUAL NBA PLAYERS rank him higher than Lebron: Shaq, Barkley, Magic, Bird, Durant, Jim Jackson, Stephon Jackson, etc etc etc
@@ludvigwittgenstein6469 there was nothing said about hate in this comment it's all respect what I do hate is when you point out differences or preference it comes out like hate all when watching them play it's art at it's finest but I will defend my preference
Newsflash: people say nice things about dead people
Wow, fact...
Well that's true too
He's been saying great things about Kobe for year's though he was probably just being sentimental
@@jamalwalker04 Of course but he would never have said Kobe was better than him at anything had he not passed.
@@elfamoso3805 He said Kobe could beat him one on one before and I'm sure he's said other things aswell
The Flu Game or the Food Poisoning or Bad Pizza Game, Jordan hits a three after Bryon Russell covered Scottie for no apparent reason. MJ had also key rebounds in that Game 7 vs Indiana. He hit FTs late to ice the Blazers in '92.
Hangover game
Just look at the reverence given to Kobe by other players and it's clear how important he was to the game.
Of course! It’s mamba mentality not Jordan mentality. Da 🐐 s

I remember Shannon said Kobe was soft cause he got two pieced by Chris childs 😭😂
Yooo chill😭😭😭😭
THIS was the one I was waiting on cause NOW we start telling the truth😂😂😂
💯
Facts 💯💪💯
BINGO
LeBron James and Shannon Sharpe have both said seeing Michael Jordan in person is like seeing God. Well, Kobe wanted to chat with God all time when he was alive. Now Kobe is up there with the real God. 🕊
We all know Kobe took what Jordan ddid and perfected it in the era where there was more talented athletes !!! GOAT 🐐
Kobe has ZERO case for being better than Jordan.
If you asked Kobe who was better, of course he'll say he's better than Mike. But the same thing would be said from Mike saying he's better than Kobe. They do have egos. Neither men would back down from each other going 1-on-1.
Kobe ! 🏀🐐💯🔥
I think this is the 1st time I've seen Shannon talk in a positive light towards MJ
Yes because it wasn’t the normal show dynamic of one guy has to be pro Lebron and the other has to be pro Jordan. I’m sure Shannon thinks both are basically at the top. I wouldn’t be surprised if Skip actually believes Jordan is better though. We all know Jordan was a competitive God. He just had a different level of focus.
2nd greatest player of all time isn't positive talk? damn.. Skip has lebron barely in the top 10 😂
Check out when shannon met Michael he doesn't hate mj but skip makes him have to talk like that because of how skip talks about lebron
Only reason I like kobe he reminded us of Mike
The man score 81 points in one game i can't even do that on PlayStation
🙏Kobe Bean Bryant was a Beast
Michael Jordan also mentioned he cried watching Iverson's documentary and said he loves that little guy. Michael Jordan is the basketball GOAT but he's also the GOAT with crying in public.
When ?
Kobe wasn't really better than Jordan though. Not better or greater. Just certain things like his handles and 3-PT range. But Jordan in his prime really was superior to Kobe in most areas.
MJ is too awesome. Love how he can admit that
This should only be time to celebrate Kobe and his legacy. All of you using this time to bash LeBron need to go somewhere else. You are actually disrespecting Kobe. They both are great and they were close with each other it is well documented. Kobe had said plenty of times that him and LeBron were friends and that they respected each other. Yall are weirdo's using someone's unfortunate and untimely death to spew hate out into the world. If you learned anything from Kobe and his situation it should be that we need to just appreciate people while they are alive.
My 2 goats 🐐 🐐

Will Smith said "To Be The Best You Have To Imitate The Best" Kobe watched and learned from the best (Jordan) and that what made him so great.
Haven’t even watched it yet and I know the name LeBron James will magically appear at some point this video😂
