  • I was not born yet and to young to see the Michael Jordan bulls era but I was definitely around when Kobe came on the scene 2000 and up. Mom took me to a lakers game and wizards game. Seen Kobe and Shaq play together and MJ play. Best memories I’ll never forget. Kobe embodied MJ to the fullest from every move and with his own style with it. This was definitely a torch being passed down to kobe moment. And Kobe held his own from then on and mastered it to the end. Kobe will always be the greatest player in my eyes to touch the rock after MJ left the scene. We still had great players in the early 2000s but Kobe was just a different breed and cut from a different cloth. LonglivetheMamba

  • Leading towards the '98 All Star game, MJ in a sense knew already who will be his heir apparent. He talked about the kid "Kobe" who's gonna 1-on-1 with anybody. During the game, Kobe asked technical questions to MJ and he answered him directly. MJ even invited Kobe to give him a call anytime he has questions. This footage is really nice. The literal passing of the torch from one apex assassin to another.

    • Fun fact about this game: When Jordan was defending Kobe, he held Kobe to 0-6 while guarding him in that game. Jordan also forced all 3 of Kobe turnovers in that game (two offensive fouls and a steal). Kobe went a scorching 14 for 17 in 1st half, and in the 2nd half, Kobe went 1 for 12. Ended up going 15 for 29. Jordan iced him 🧊🥶. A 40 year old goat 🐐 on two bad knees locked up 🔒 an athletic prime Kobe Bryant. Part of the reason why Kobe was “playfully” punching MJ was because he was frustrated that he couldn’t go off on MJ and held him scoreless.🤣🤣🤣 🐐🐐🐐

How long did they both smiled during that sequence? Poor nerd you are. Not even a high school baller you are yet you yappin nonsense here.

    • This mentality has to be cultivated via American values that believe in winning and not making excuses. Many Americans still have that attitude. But a growing majority of Americans don't. And until that problem is reversed, you will only see these kinds of players from other countries. This is by design. Why do you think the NBA is pushing foreign players so hard. It's a Globalist agenda and the NBA is in lock-step with it. For the sake of the foreign players, and for the game of basketball, it's a good thing. But evil uses good things to trick the masses into choosing slay-vreee. Yes, a bit much to say, but it's connected to why you will never see American born players like Jordan and Kobe again unless American values survive.

  • ❤Missing KoBean, scrolled onto this😅 Made me so happy, remembering how he always managed to train himself to be the best he could be. Mamba style! Watching & learning from his “big brother”. Brought a smile to my face when Bean offered a hand to help MJ up. 🙏🏽total respect for both. Warms my heart they became so close & MJ grew to love his little brother very much.❤

  • To the guy who did this video ..... Dude you deserve an Oscar. This is a GREAT video perfectly done. I grew up in DC a Bullets fan and a huge huge MD fan. I know all about Arenas and Yellow Jacket Salley and their stories - but everything here is new and I love how Salley is kept on edge and in suspense. The Cusack part I had seen but that's a story that never gets old. I want you to know man this is just a great great video you did. It's time you took a shot at doing one on Bias. A lot of people don't know before Kobe there was another guy in the Jordan mold. Salley knows what I'm talking about. Wilbon too.

Ended up going 15 for 29. Jordan iced him 🧊🥶. A 40 year old goat 🐐 on two bad knees locked up 🔒 an athletic prime Kobe Bryant.
