"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
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
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.
Kobe truly admired MJ and MJ mentored him without publicity. That's why there's mutual respect.
No cocky king chasin no ghost
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.
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
"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
Mike and Kobe spoke the same language . It’s called GOAT 🐐🔥🔥🔥
Fact
“After Kobe passed”. Damn that hit me hard
ALEX 😔
It still doesn't feel real but it is real .
😥😥😥
From "Little Laker Boy" to "Little Brother"
Damn this comment hits😢
KVBVL it hurt man 💯😔
RIP Kobe.
BEST COMMENT..
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
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.
It's been touchy for me watching 'The Last Dance'. When thinking of Kobe's untimely demise.
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
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.
Rip kobe 🙏🏾
KOBE & MJ ARE THE GOATS OF BASKETBALL PERIOD💯💯💯💯💯💯🗿🗿
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.
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 : hey Michael any advice for my daughter playing basketball at 12?
Michael:.... man at 12 I was trying to play baseball
Haha
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
“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?!?
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.
Reason is simple. Real recognize real.
Exactly!
Kobe is the Greatest compliment on how great MJ is.
Immitation is the highest form of flattery
That quote made me respect Kobe even more, dude has the humility, not like some self proclaimed king /goat
It still give me chills.
Still missing you kobe... God bless you and gigi and etc... 2022 and I'm still crying 😢... ✌️
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
Bringing tears to my eyes
Damn. He has more LeBron James jerseys in the background than LeBron got rings.
Sunday Morning rain is falling i came to watch Kobe Bryant videos
Kobe the GOAT Bryant
Greatest ever
RIP Kobe🙏🏽. Miss you my man‼️
If Skip was covering the Bulls so closely in 98, why ain't he in the doc?
he left ESPN
@@senhahahaha 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?
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 !!
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.
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
Thx mj too let as love Kobe 😘😘
Considering Kobe didn’t have a great relationship with his Dad, I’m sure Jordan filled that void in a way.
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.
Kobe is the goat(b) forever
🐐🐐🐐🐐KOBE
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
The thing I really love about Shannon's debate is he will take stories from his own life to make his point. He's really one of my favorite people.
I love this segment
Kobe forever
Man I still can't watch nothing that has to do with Kobe I still can't believe he's gone man my hero....
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.
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
How crazy would it be to see Skip on the Last Dance ✨
I kinda knew they talked but never knew they were this close. It is really cool to know that though. I think Skip is right, they decided to not publicize their friendship on media but have true friendship off camera.
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 🐍
It's funny that this was a very short part of the beginning of chapter 5, but the impact speaks volumes.
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
The two best basketball players this world has ever seen. Not just NBA by the way I’m talking about the entire planet.
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
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 :(
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.
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
RIP Kobe
MAMBA GOAT🐍🐐
Kobe was one of the greatest NBA Players to win championships
I miss bean so much, still unreal
Awesome Video
Kobe was 35 years old and was still stoppin lebron on d...💯
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.
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
NBA players on vhs tapes were his only american influences from age 7 to 14 in Italy. He was different and GREAT.
Missing Kobe at 4am...rip
Last Dance documentary saving sport's news 🤣
That's why M.J is the greatest and Kobe took the torch.
For the record. Lebron went to see Hakeem because he saw Kobe do it first
Jordan and Kobe were cut from the same cloth. Two of a kind. No others. Miss you Kobe. 😞
Jordan and Kobe: uncommon among uncommon people
The transcendent relationship dynamic between Michael Jordan (mentor) and Kobe Bryant (mentee) applies to every area of relationship life. All people who are great (Michael Jordan) want is someone to mentor that wants to be great and grind like they do (kobe bryant). In many areas of life people want to be mentored but they disappoint the mentor because they won't grind like the mentor. Kobe got Michael's attention because he was "about that life"
How did Lebron get brought up in a mj and Kobe conversation
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
"That lil Laker boy"
I'd give my whole paycheck to see the entire text exchanges between Jordan and Kobe
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.
Kobe > Lebron
For sure!
Not for me
Young Jeezy!!
jcnba28 facts
Tf. Its obvious lol.
Hey did Skip cover the Chicago Bulls in 98'? Not sure if he's covered that yet.
Kobe is still the greatest of all time to me
wish this show would acknowledge that some topics don't need 10 mins, shannon is notorious for saying the same thing 10 times in 10 different ways
"I don't get five championships here without him." - Kobe comment on MJ 🐐 in the last dance documentary
Notice how Jordan pronounces Kobe's name at the memorial. It's done with a heavy heart of an older brother.
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
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
Kobe was about to play for Chicago during the drama days between him and Shaq. Check Up All Smoke interview just before the accident.
It was reported in the media when it was happening
Michael is the Greatest Ever
Kobe is the Best Ever
All the upcoming stars kept going at Jordan, there must have been something different about Kobe that made their relationship special.
Kobe and MJ mentality were such on a high level, it's a very select few, where they can share that same bond.
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.
Rip MAMBA
Mike imparting knowledge to Kobe proves that if Jordan played in that era he would’ve garnished 5 more rings.
Thing was, i think, was mj seen greatness in kobe, yes kobe had all mjs moves but also became the black mamba, i think mj enjoyed seeing kobe play, it was like mj was doing all this entertainment for everyone else but watching kobe he had something something to be entertained by
