      @@nostupidgod9415 not really... kobe played longer than Jordan...so injuries mounted up on him. He also joined the NBA right out of high school, Jordan didn't. So beating ur knees up at NBA level right from high school wears ur body out. Kobe was 17 when drafted, Jordan was 22. Kobe 20 seasons while Jordan only played 15 seasons. That's why Jordan played into his 40's.

    Background to this game: Kobe was a Shoe free agent in 2003 after his Adidas contract was up. So every game he wore a different shoe and he started wearing Jordans. Jordan noticed and said to Kobe, "You can wear my shoes, but can you fill them?" Kobe drops 55. Mamba Forever!

    I bought 4 tickets to this game the moment I heard MJ was playing that year (myself, gf, dad, best friend). They were nose bleed seats and I couldn’t afford them, but this matchup was too big to miss. I could see Kobe shooting long range three after long range three. After the first quarter, they had a video tribute to MJ on the big screen. Kobe was not to be denied, he just kept dropping 3’s. Great game but you could clearly see it was now Kobe’s time. MJ goat, Kobe arguably 2nd. I have two pairs of Jordan’s, but the day Kobe died I bought my first pair of Kobe’s. I’m the same age and this one hurt. RIP Kobe.

      I’m just 25 as a kid I went to both of there basketball camps. Both were @ ucsb. I’ve seen Kobe play since I could remember not so much of MJ but you know of the allure. I was one of those kids screaming Kobe fading away shooting in a trash 🗑 in elementary school. So when I seen Kobe and MJ and their camps it’s so weird to explain how I felt. It’s was just fun to see them in that type of environment. It was a worthwhile experience for sure!

    If I wasn't alive to see Kobe with my own eyes, I might not believe this man was real. He's almost like a myth. I would never believe there was a person that went through the extreme lengths that Kobe did to be excellent at not only basketball, but literally everything that he pursued in life. The discipline, commitment, seeking of knowledge, eye for detail, along with his supreme confidence, charisma and passion for learning everything; from basketball and all it's intricacies, to multiple languages, to business, to writing novels, to poetry, to film-making, the list goes on. There was and never will be another like Kobe. People say a great person is a "1 in a million" or even a billion, and think that it's a huge compliment. Kobe was even rarer than that. I'll miss you forever Kobe. Now you can rest. Mamba forever ❤️

Nobody cared about their own team and worshipped MJ. Fans of opposing teams didn’t do that for Kobe when he played on their turf. That’s the difference. NBA fans all over cheered for MJ against their own team!!! That’s why MJ is the greatest.

Now, I am a huge Jordan fan, and as I look at these highlights, listen to the ooohs and aaahs and cheers for Michael Jordan, in the house that Kobe built. It is no wonder that Kobe wanted to be like Mike, mimic Mike, and got so damn close to being like Mike. These two have got to be the biggest global icons in sports history, along with Ali. You may hate them destroy your team, but you love watching the way they do it. Rest in Peace Kobe! You once flew among the all stars and above the rim, now you can go fly among the angels.

      Absolutely. Top players that lost a bit athleticism sometimes can still play at the same or a similar level because of their basketball IQ and mentally adapting. You see Lebron doing the same thing as MJ. He adapts the game in a more mental way and is still one of the best at close to 40.

      You youngn's forget: his Wizard seasons took place after having unretired (for a 2nd time), and from having been gone from the sport almost 3 yrs.

      I'm not sure how old you are but a lot of today's generation don't know how great Kobe was. Most of them just remember the old after Achilles Kobe, or never saw him play at all. Anything before the Achilles he was a beast.

    This is as close as it got to seeing them giving their best. I could only imagine what it would had been like if they were both in their prime going at it 91 Jordan vs 06 Kobe.
