@Avocaza if the word “prime” was implied (he said most folks), what exact birthdate range are we talking about, who saw Kobe’s prime, but not Michael’s ? Let’s say Kobe’s prime was around 2006, and MJ 1992 (subjective prime dates). People born in 1986 would have seen Kobe’s prime at 20, but would have been in kindergarten and likely too young to watch Michael in his prime. However, that person still saw the end of MJs second 3 peat when he was still pretty great. really, you are talking a specific group born between 1984-1994, since people after 1994 would be 11 in Kobe’s prime.

When Michael Jordan speaks about Kobe, there seems to be a special place in his heart for Bryant, as opposed to other players. I'm not saying other players don't want to be the best, but Kobe was on another level. Jordan knows how much work, how much sacrifice it takes to get to that level and he seems to really appreciate how Kobe approached the game.

Same here bro. Kobe and T-Mac were truly the first introduction to me as far as the NBA goes. I remember vividly back in the mid 2000s going to a wings restaurant seeing a Rockets v Lakers matchup here at home. I fell in love with the tenacity shown on both ends. Our boy T-Mac showing out against this guy from Los Angeles. I owe my love of the game to those two. Surreal just trying to stomach the fact that he’s gone. Kobe, T-Mac, and MJ will always hold a special place in my heart. Rest in power Bean. 💛💜

Still can’t believe he’s gone will never sit right in my heart. Crazy how we can start to take things for granted. This loss feels like a close relative. I dont think I ever felt this way about a public figure passing.

@ThePatman1980 3 жыл бұрын

I had an idea that MJ and Kobe were friends. But none of us knew how close they really were until MJ said it in last year's memorial service. I figure MJ wanted that to be private being he's such a private person now.

Kobe always said they were close. And in 2016 at Kobe’s last game in Charlotte, Jordan made a tribute video to Kobe, saying he was like a big brother to Kobe and Kobe was a little brother...

If Vanessa doesn't say the HoF speech for Kobe since she wasn't an NBA player, I think the speech might come from Pau Gasol. He's Kobe's favorite teammate by far. The speech is a lot like a eulogy. Won't be thank yous.

When Kobe passed the Love that I had for basketball went with him. I can literally be watching a game and that’s just that...the excitement I used to feel while watching basketball is nonexistent. Every now and then I’ll catch a spectacular game by Curry...but it’s still not the same for me. Not sure if my Love for the game will ever return 🤦🏾‍♂️ It’s awesome that MJ is introducing him at the ceremony. But, how awesome would it had been for Kobe to be there and blessing us with his speech and admiration for the game he loved very dearly. Miss you Kobe 😢

I'm just glad Shaq and Kobe did make amends in that sit-down interview. I know Shaq felt there was a couple things that was still left unsaid. But I'm glad they made amends. Their beef was actually overblown.
