20 years ago my dad used to tell me, "I wish you had watched Michael Jordan". A few days ago my son asked me, "Have you ever watched Michael Jordan?" And I told him proudly, "No. But I've watched Kobe Bryant."
I stg this man was something special, I miss seeing him on the court assassinating his opponents. I just miss the Mamba period. Rest easy Champ. You are very missed by so many.
I was watching this game live on tv as a kid. Glenn hit a three, cut it to a 10 point lead, momentum was swinging so Portland called timeout but it was already over. The alley oop to Shaq is one of my all time favorite Laker moments
No he won’t. You either have it or you don’t..and he does not have it. You don’t ‘figure out aggression’ and consistency. He has no bag. No go to move. Plays lazy ..goes hard in spurts. He bought into the undeserved media hype. He will never be anything more than what he is..
He ain't gonna do that if he wanna hold on to his "Ima smile and laugh at everything " persona. He gonna have to put down the Popeyes chicken and stay away from his instagram THOTS, make some sacrifices..... I suggest starting by entering slam dunk contest.
@byranwitherspoon5369 What's sus? Y'all blacks love chicken 😅 even your president made a commercial with chicken watermelon. Back to Edward's yep he don't got it of course the media playing him up bc they know James is over staying his welcome. They want another young black to be the face of the league when they already have 2 that can do it Luka and, Joker. Like Clark is doing to the shitty WNBA. Don't get me wrong Edward's is a star but, not Jordan or Kobe even James levels those are superstars. What Jordan did for the league in the 90s was legendary. What Kobe did with Shaq and, without him also legend status. What James did for Ohio carrying bunch of bums to the chip legendary. If Edward's pulls and ,upset with out the refs helped he could be put on that level with those guys if they come back from being down 3.
THIS is how Ant Man needs to learn how to play!!! Once he gets it down he will become the best player in the league and do what the NBA hasn’t seen since Jordan and Kobe; Win multiple scoring titles, MVP and make First Team All NBA and All Defense.
Bruh bruh bruh... Kobe stats for that series 20.4 - 4.9 - 5.9 VS Anthony's against the Mavs 24.6 - 8.8 - 7.8. Not to mention Kobe had Prime Shaq who was their best player with 25.9 - 12.4 - 4.3 (closer to Ant's stats line). And besides, look at that Blazers roster dude, Rasheed Wallace was their best player. Anthony had to go vs Prime Luka and still elite Kyrie. I mean, I LOVE Kobe (my fav player ever), but this isn't a fair comparison my man...
There is no comparing the two. Anthony should study old Kobe tapes. Kobe would have definitely checked Luka since he is the best player on the other team.
He didn't erased it but totally led the comeback and outplayed the MVP of reg season and NBA finals with 25, 11 7 and 4 blks while Shaq 18 and 9. Did Scottie did that to Mike in a game 7 in their 1st EAst playoffs of ever? Nope! This is a 21 yr old Kobe and Pjax wanted him to be a Pip, instead he played like Michael Jeffrey Jordan.
Nice revisionist history, but Shaquille O’Neal did not put up those type of numbers. He was averaging 35 and 15 in the finals and was the finals MVP all three times idiot Kobe Bryant was not playing like no damn Jordan.
Huge Ant fan, probably because he reminds me so much of MJ and Kobe. What I've noticed is the indeciciveness nowdays in the game. KAT (Bad Example) could take a page from Shaqs book at :39 sec. Feel the trap/collapse turn and effing shoot you're 7 feet tall. Kobe here saw lanes and passed for open looks. I see a lot of that from Ant also. Just wish his teammates would act with as much urgency.
The same refs that made sure lakers were in the play in the last 2 seasons? 😂 the same ones that allowed jokic to hack with no consequences 2 years in a row? Those refs? Gtfoh bro. Yall hate so much yall can't even see 🤦♂️
What did Shaq win again before Kobe? Also he had kat and better players than a 37 yr old A.C Green or 37 yr old Ron Harper john celestand travis knight rick fox devean george. Lol. Kobe just that good.

@@ninjedi6710Actually the opposite. He is one of the most media hated players ever. After his retirement and death they have been disrespectung him and trying to make us forget how great he was.

I don't think he was from day 1. His rookie year was pretty underwhelming tbh. He improved a lot year 2 into year 3 though.

with all this Mj's son meme, the only one who is really close to the game and mentality of Mj is Kobe Bryant.
Mannnnn point guard Kobe was like that! If he would continued playing like that his numbers would be godly
And Edwards wil be alright. He's gotta figure out the aggression and consistency this series. Kobe was different but Ant will be fine

By Any Means Necessary
I miss them days. Ant needs a older dude to mentor him
You called it.
Great observation!
He has several... he just don't wanna listen... and it's exposed
Edwards isn't even close to young 22 year old Kobe.

Frobe Bryant...Rip Mamba
Kobe at 18 years old was already showing signs of being great. Far earlier than even Jordan.
ron harper was a super role player!!!
So let’s just remember how good he was for a min
ANT is the next GOAT!!
The next MJ? Try being the next Kobe first. Not even close.

Scottie Pippen has never been defensive player of the year

oh wow, youre right. guess i shoulda googled it beforehand. i was confident he had one

Scottie Pippen forgot everything Jordan taught him about defense.
See this the thing about tiers and killers
Kobe, mike, Duncan, wilt tier one
Idgaf about tier two
Nd Kobe DAGOAT
Bird is up there too
Please, Ant can't even win close games. How much more 15 point leads.
