I’m disappointed that Skip simply took the opportunity to put Jordan on a pedal stool and knock Kobe down simply because he is bias. That slick question didn’t go un-noticed. This mama fandom is borderline cultish. Anytime you get upset someone else is getting credit and have to bring up someone else’s accomplishment that is something to worry about. Skip doesn’t have to tear others down to bolster Brady and Jordan...but he does

Gotta disagree with Skip. MJ was chasing Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. MJ said so.

[@dnice4145]

He was chasing them in accomplishments, not in how they played. Kobe was obsessed with copying everything MJ, how he walked, talked even tried sticking his tongue out.

[@DeCurtaRican]

Kobe was more talented than Michael. Kobe could shoot it from day-1. Jordan had to develop a shot once he reached the pros. He had ambidextrous ball handling ability. Jordan was extremely right-handed, but learned to use his body in a way that masked it. Remember that one of the Jordan Rules was to push Jordan to his left. Kobe was more acrobatic than Jordan and had a wider array of dunks - as crazy as that might sound. Note: when did Jordan ever pull off a 360-windmill on a fast-break? Kobe was every bit the slasher Jordan was. Kobe was every bit the perimeter defender Jordan was, but Jordan could inexplicably disrupt bigger players in the lie post in away that Kobe couldn’t. However, Kobe could guard smaller, quicker players on the perimeter better than Jordan could. A.I.? Terrell Brandon? KJ? Starks? All of them crossed over and/or dunked on Jordan at some point. They never did it to Kobe. The league’s greatest defenders never held Kobe to fewer than 20 points. He may have had his off shooting nights, but the defense didn’t cause those nights. GP, Sidney Moncrief, Mugsy, Dennis, Mookie Blaylock??? They gave Jordan h3ll. Kobe did something Jordan did not: he won not one but two titles without his main partner in crime.

[@MoeJaxon]

He said Micheal worked out smarter Kobe worked out harder .... You can see it in their games. Kobe took shots and a certain degree of difficulty and shot a lot of 3s with difficulty. Mike got himself free for shots or just took the mid range shot If you watch their games you can see jordan working smarter and you can see Kobe worker Harding. Watch their games closely

This is a great segment.

Profound interview

[@calvintraylor1203]

Who were the 2 guards that challenged Jordan. That's why he has so many 1st team defenses. He also played on teams with 2 other first team defenders. You can't compare accolades of 2 guards and 3s. LeBron played the 3 against 5 other Hall of Famers. Jordan played against 2. One played when very few teams could win, and Lebron played when many more teams had a chance to win. Jordan almost always had the advantage against his opponents in the 90s. LeBron had it for 3 years.

Iconic moment!

[@HotGritz910]

Jordan and kobe is something we as a people have lost when it comes to sacrifice and determination. If anyone acted like jordan or kobe these days they would call you crazy...

[@TheMiracleOfTheValley]

When you watch and listen to this video in detail you will realize that the difference between the Elite and the common ones on the Basketball court is that they took the traditional to the extreme to present the best result.
