"When Kobe Bryant died, a piece of me died."
-MJ
mannnn,,,that is truly heart breaking
Me too homie me too. I cried my eyes out.
That quote was heartbreaking 💔 to me
:(
My favorite part was when he said that Kobe called him at 2 or 3 in the morning to ask him for an adive about a play... or an advise for he or his daughter.
In this game, Kobe definitely was the future. Now he's a true fcuking legend. Rest In Peace Kobe Bryant. LA is crying.
Philly is crying too!
not just la but the whole damn world
we lost a legend
I've been a daze all day 😢
@fearlesslegend You having to ask obviously means you don't get it. Me trying to explain it to you, isn't gonna change a thing.
@fearlesslegend Weak troll. Gtfo
they're Icons not only superstar
2 Most Iconic NBA players of all time
add Dr.J
lol nah man. j erving don't belong with these 2. kobe n jordan is def a step above.
Look up Dr J highlights... identical to Jordans....
+Jeno Creed Alright bro..Dr j was a great player and athlete i agree.. BUT to compare him to Michael Jordan is just insane and to be honest , stupid bro. Were talkin about M J here. the G.O.A.T!
+Jae Ho Song look it up Jordan modeled Dr J.
Kobe loved playing against him
forreal, Kobe became more competitive when guarding MJ. That just shows how much Kobe was inspired by him.
Yes absolutely agree with you.
😟😟😟😟
For sure you could see Kobe appreciating playing against Mike when he’s standing next to him.
Got Game no
In all of sports in the past 20 yrs, Kobe vs Jordan was definitely my favorite match up. You always got a show, defensively, offensively, mentally, etc.
I mean yeah, but the most popular rivalry has been Messi vs Ronaldo
Yeah its like watching Ryu vs Ken 😊
That was definitely my favorite matchup ever between them two
@@rodrigob8164 true
Other sports have tournaments between countries. Thus, those tournament are bigger so we get to see more rivalries.
As a Kobe Bryant fan I learned who Michael Jordan is to him, his teacher. I may always be a Kobe Bryant fan but I recognize that MJ is the GOAT of the game but Kobe absorbed all his teachings and came in close.
For the longest time, we were waiting for the next Jordan. Thank you Kobe for filling that void and giving us plenty of entertainment and drama in the process. Without debate, the 2 best shooting guards to ever play the game.
We’re still waiting on the next MJ
@@ecgodsmack86 the next Jordan was supposed to be Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James...
@@theDavidChannel1 true but no dice. They sure weren't
Kobe was definitely the closest to Jordan out of anyone, but no one has ever filled MJ’s shoes, I’m 37 and I can almost say with full confidence that no one will in my entire lifetime, someone that great comes along every 200-300 years if we’re lucky
@@vinniedeluca2188 Agreed Michael Jordan was something else!
Kobe was the genuin and perfect student of MJ . A perfect Teacher for a perfect Student . Both born for each other. Love u n miss u Kobe
Kobe is an overachiever. He worked really hard.
Konphetty SO IS JORDAN.
Still not the goat
@@HectorSanchez-vv6cf now is the goat
@@E.N.DNetwork exactly hes still top 3 doe
E.N.D Network you already look like your rotting
We have to cherish these moments like this.
Kobe and Mike are godsends
And now they are both the past of NBA. Time flies and stops for nobody. I am grateful to have lived and bared witness to both of their carriers. Jordan was already at the top while I was growing up so I missed his college days and early NBA days as I was too young to remember but growing up it was all about the Bulls and Michael Jordan. Kobe I watched from his first to his last day in NBA and I am sad to see both players come to pass (in playing sense).
Thank you both for the memories.
You know what is really amazing is that you can totally see that MJ had a huge amount of respect for KB. And MJ extremely rarely had high respect for anyone. In all actuality, i can say with a pretty high level of confidence that Kobe is the one player MJ respected the most on the basketball court.
Two of the best players in history
WTF XD
@@joeymungoi9290?
Kobe top 10 Micheal the best
@@ericcartman627 Kobe one of the best. Right after MJ.
The ending of this video was so dope it's like 2 Lions ready to attack..One thing I can say is Kobe would be happy that the world respect all the hard work he put in. Rather it was on the basketball court or being a father. Kobe legacy gone live forreal especially if you love the game of basketball
Respect.
jordan is tiger, kobe is lion.
Man you could just see the fire in Kobe's eyes at :20 going up against his idol.
This is what a perfect teacher and a perfect student looks like
Kobe Bryant by far is my favorite player to ever step on the NBA hardwood
It should be LeBron though.
Let's this guy have an opinion.
And quit hatin on Kobe
David James is a hater don't pay attention to his comments, they are all non-sense.
RockShoei You mean Jordan? You dipshit.
jonathan fanfan Paul George
2:24 chills! Both just ready to take off.....Rest in Peace Kobe! Thank you! You are the only player who took serious the "I want to be like Mike" you got there very close. I am a huge die hard Jordan but damn, you being gone got me so emotional and I have shed serious deep tears. DAMN YOU 2020!!!!!!!!!
Got Chills Watching This, Kobe will Be The Closet Thing To Michael Jordan Ever.. Rest In Paradise Kobe&GiGi
He was close to being Michael, and the only reason he stopped that far was because he _Became Kobe Bryant._
I didnt follow him enough when he was alive, but he was our meme back in middle school bro... "Kobe!" And seeing how much he actually affected those around me, he really showed me how good a vibe he radiated. He wanted to do so much more. Not only him but his kids radiate that same energy, his daughter did.. All of them.. This is a rough beat.
@@dm3402 Yup definetly agreed because when Jordan talks about kobe at the memorial he was sad as well but wanted kobe to live the rest of his life than him because of the passing the torch to kobe become the next great player After jordan suceeded everything he have & be rembered the Goat for a long time & kobe would still live a good life for a long time
RIP Kobe you won’t be forgotten 😢🙏🙏🏀✊💛💜💜, let’s appreciate these people while they last not tear them down and hate on them !
This is exactly what makes kobe unhealthy for the media let the people hate and not get butt hurt about them doing so
MJ was in Tears of losing Kobe Bryant😢😢😢😢
He said they were present and the future of NBA. Such a sadness 😢
RIP KOBE You will always be my icon ......
What a legendary clash!
RIP Kobe
It’s so heartwarming to know after watching the funeral just how close they were. RIP mamba
Thank you Kobe.
I was in depression and I saw your play.
It was energetic and unforgettable.
Thank you
People who hate Kobe forget about Number 8/afro version of Kobe. Second best player ever
People try to forget number 8 because that was the rape version...
2003 "I cut my afro off and I wear air Jordans" version of kobe is the best one
oo
Yeah. I like that Kobe, with his own style of play.
AllPureSkill | GTA & COD i like kobe and ain't everything you mentioned
Rest in peace brother. And to your daughter along with everyone else on board. 🙏🏻
RIP a legend
happy to see both my idol's guarding each other the teacher and the student but, sad to say they both retired in NBA my 2 greatest players of all times.
Everyone hating like always, even when MJ said in an interview himself that Kobe is the only person in today's game you can compare to him, which is true as well. Kobe is the definition of working through anything to be the best just like his Idol (MJ) was. Phil Jackson even said he's a harder worker than MJ, and that's saying something. Also Kobe wasn't even a lottery pick either so let that sink in.
Majin Vegeta He wanted to be a Laker like Magic, and he studied and looked up to Jordan's playstyle.
Michael Jordan only gave Kobe Bryant the comparison with himself because Jordan realizes Kobe is no longer a threat to his legacy. Kobe didn't accomplish enough to surpass him. LeBron James on the other hand is looked at as being better than Jordan by many and he's the biggest threat to Jordan's legacy ever.
Kendell Pitts how? Just based by stats not true legacy
@@nationalchampions this is a joke? Right?
@@matheussanz1952 you prove points by simply questioning their opinions?
I'm not a basketball fans, but seeing this two legends at the same court is amazing.
LA LEYENDA SIEMPRE TE RECORDAREMOS🏀👑🕊
Kobe is Jordan son Kobe looked up to him so much he knew his game and his every step RIP TO YOU AND YOUR SHADOW GIANNA
Video kanaval Woody. Wooboy
It's been a week since you Passed Away Miss you Man, why is this so hard? 💔😢 Rest in Peace Kobe 🙏
Happy Birthday Kobe .. RIP ❤ ♍️
Who's watching this on MambaDay?
Meeee
yup
meh
Yoo
same
Tuve el privilegio de ver esos encuentros en vivo. Dos hombres extremadamente competitivos y casi con el mismo talento levemente inclinado a Michael, esta etapa de la NBA fue mágica ver la transición de el baton de Jordan a Kobe es uno de los mejores momentos que he tenido el placer de ver como fanático. Saludos desde Puerto Rico.
Wao hermano eso debe haber sido un gran honor haber vivido eso saludos también soy de Puerto Rico
Kobe and Michael are one of my most favourite basketball players and it’s really devastating to hear about Kobe’s death😢
It’s hard enough (but nostalgic) watching all the older/classic and golden era times cause the nba is not what it used to be at all; but to know Kobe is gone and his daughter and other families who loved the sport and each other is nightmarish and I can’t imagine....my heart goes out to everyone with this. One love Rest In Peace
Never quit reached prime Jordan status but he came pretty dam close, I’d even be willing to say he came the closest to Jordan than anyone in history, RIP to the man the legend Kobe Bryant!
This is as close as we will ever get to seeing greatness hit that court. May god grant Kobe, Gigi and the others in the crash eternal rest.
Kobe Bryant Number 8 and 24 Forever💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛
Omg this video tore me up!!! How these Legend respected eachother!!! That’s Love of the game!! RIP KOBE
Just thinking that on their last match up, MJ is 40 and here we are grieving on Kobe and he's just 41...
People, Just stop bickering and respect both players. Both are greats of the game and deserve it.
Very lucky to watch both live. Incredible work ethic. Incredible competitive spirit. NBA will never be the same again. Thank you, Mr Jordan, Thank you, Mr Bryant.
Beautiful Video.
Thank you.
Two of my favorite players of all time and probably the best game has ever seen those two men are legends from them till end of time
Who's here after Kobe Bryant's tragic death 😢
It still hurts to know that he's gone, but never forgotten.
:’(
Kobe is the closest thing to mike. Its been amazing watching him play cause I didnt get the chance to watch jordan like that. Jordan is like basketball jesus and kobe is the resurrection of christ aha. Jordan said of all the people he would play a 1 on 1 with the only one he things could possibly beat him is kobe. Kobe may not be better than jordan but give credit wherebits due. Kobe will forever be remembered.
It’s not about just skills, but desire to win, perform even with the flu or broken bones, to going at it every single game.. that’s why to me these two are the best basketball players the world have seen.. respect and love for both 🐐🐍
Kobe is the real Like Mike
He won championships, he won Olympics',he is a hall famer, a top scorer
He also won oscar..And now he became Legend
Man look at the determination in Kobe's eyes at the end of the video. Man I would really have loved to see these 2 in their primes.
That fire, that competitive flame in him! I hate to compare but that's why I can't put lebron with these two. Just can't. They're different.
@@Ap32023 exactly
Tears came to my eyes
I cry every time I watch something like this. It just breaks my heart.................................
2 of the greatest players of basketball to ever do it!! 👏🏼💯👏🏼
Descansa en paz kobe Bryant tu eres un campeon
2 favorite players all time.
The reason I play hard when I do
Those memories man...life isn't fair 💔💔💔💔💔
I've seen many MJ highlights of this kind and I never get tired of watching it. 😎👍
2:29 kobe's eyes #MambaAf
Manveer Sangha RIP
Stop comparing a 37 year old Kobe to a 30 year old Lebron. 😂 Compare a 30 year old Kobe and you all find who is better 😂
tbr
Yep
+Von Bradley GImena yes
+Von Bradley GImena Well, in 7 years ago. Lebron James as MVP when Kobe was 30
+Frengol Jr but kobe was winning 2 straight titles lol
Came here after the news...
RIP Kobe, you will be missed 😭💕
Thanks for sharing this video
The best in the World, rest in Peace the Great Kobe Brayant ...😭
Lebron= Da King
Kobe= Da Messiah
Jordan= Da God
*In That Order* 💯
LeBron= LeTravel LeFlop LeComplain LeHelp LeSuperteam
left his original team 2 times
Mj
Kb
Lb
In that order
Luka Doncic = The Prince
You - Da Supid!
i can roll with that.
Gone to soon but you'll always be in the heart of millions
Legend never dies #8/24
RIP Kobe and Gigi 🏀
R.I.P Kobe you will never be forgotten.
Watching Kobe be so happy to play Jordan is amazing
watching these two was my childhood man!
i've never been shocked and sad to heard
the news today on kobe man rest in peace mamba!
2 iconic players 2 Best players in world..Rest In Peace MAMBA
Oh God please take me back to that year!🙏🏻
Whos here after his death 😢😢
Rip
The only Mamba that can rival a god
@fearlesslegend lol
fearlesslegend show some respect to the dead, you trying to act tough behind your keyboard, you ain’t shit.
R.I.P KOBE..!YOU ARE 1 OF THE BEST TO PLAY THE GAME!!!!💪WE DEFINITELY LOST A GREAT1!!
God it's like seeing a torch being held down to another sports can be like poetry sometimes it's a beautiful thing
great video
It was VERY classy of Jordan to give Kobe the advice
Who else here this Aug 2020
Kobe R.I.P Que Descanses en paz no supero tu partida todavía 🥺
I'm in tears I rewind the end seen chewing there gum in their on point like lions in Kobe put his head on Mike shoulder like I'm bye your side Big Brother
The BLack Mamba:
- averaged 35+ ppg in 2006
-scored firckin 81 points in one game
-5 time champ (with 7 appearances)
-2 time finals mvp
-2 time scoring champ
-16 time allstar
-the list goes on and on. Kobe Bryant is hands the second best player in the history of the NBA!
17 time all star*
It's season 2005 he average that. But i agree with you. He probably will have the second greatest legacy in the nba after MJ.
Tin Le Bro, if you're gonna correct someone, you got to be sure of 2 things.
1. He is wrong
2. You are right
In this case neither of those were followed.
You also forgot to mention that he led lakers to their 2nd worst record in franchise History, and didn't make the playoffs that year lol. How many times did Jordan average above 30 and didn't make the playoffs? 0 lol. Another Point for MJ
Proper Chuffed Kobe got hurt in 2014 only played like 6 games you dumbfuck
Jordan>kobe>james
Lebron>jordan>kobe
Luis Vera im just 20 years younger than you mom. Hahahaha
@@ggeraldo2 bro hell nah
They all great in their era's. People favor one to the other who they think is personally better weather they use stats ,overall impact(on an off the Court) and accolades....I favor LeBron.... because Jordan use to beat my Knicks back in the day...lol
2more big guys and another great dream team again ...
Both of these are truly ICONS
R.I.P Kobe will be in my heart for life
I denied it for year but I got to admit Jordan is great. I honestly do think that talent wise Lbj is closer to Jordan but in terms of passion and pure heart for the game, Kobe has lbj beat by miles. All 3 are great players with pros and cons of their own. Appreciate their talent

Orande Francis that’s career total, don’t forget Kobe played much longer than Jordan ever did and Jordan accomplished a lot more.
Byakko Raijin exactly
@@byakkoraijin8127 and don't forget that kobe lost nearly all 2013-2014. He suffered so many more injures than MJ, he won 2 consecutive rings and the 2 finals MVP with a broken finger. He dropped 60 points in his last game of the career. Jordan played in an era without many incredible players like the 2000s. Kobe in the 2000 finals win game 4 without Shaq at 20 years old. And he still returned after the achiles injury
Goats🥺 RIP MAMBA WE YALL LOVE YOU🥺😭
Two of my favourite players. 23 & 24
2:27 i dont know which one is savage. That kobe/jordan looks or torentino/cage in the grammies.
Damn right bro!
How the hell can some of you guys call Michael Jordan overrated, what more do you guys think he could/should have done?
Lmao no one calls MJ overrated. Literally no one. And what the fuck is up with Kobe fanboys always dissing lebron? You're just making him underrated and for someone with his talent he doesn't deserve that title LMAO
I HOPE ALL GOOGLE BASTARDS DIE A PAINFULL DEATH t
LoL@ overrated.
Tears man. Just tears.
Who’s here after the memorial? Man Jordan really did saw him as a little brother and giving him tips..
MJ lost he's young Brother Kobe Bryant they where best friends and Jordan treat it Kobe like he's little Brother they battle each other on the Court🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Can’t believe I live in a world without Kobe 😔
That is some dude who you had a parasocial relationship with, probably best to focus on people you actually know
You should probably talk to people you actually know instead of writing on comments 3 years ago 🧌
The GOAT (Greatest of All Time) that MJ is but after 23 Kobe RIP Kobe!!🙌🙌👏👏👍👍
Kobe is my favorite player since the high school press conference with those sunglasses...I told everyone in my circle he was going to be a legend when he shot those airballs against Utah
MJ > KOBE > LeBron(King of Bandwagoners)
Jordan is the best of the old era! Kobe is the best of the new era!
This is in future: rest in peace Kobe legend are always remembered🥺🥺😭
Two beasts going at it! True masters of the game of basketball!
