JL-CptAtom Wth you talking about KD has not made a defensive team in his career in the league, LeBron has a post game L, and whose coat tails has LeBron rode. He has been the best player on every team he has been on and unlike any team LeBron has been on they get worse when he isn’t on the floor not better like the warriors without KD.
What he is saying is that because they are both so good and the pick is so difficult that he uses the championships as a tie breaker. Because all in all, all you want is a winner. And Kobe one of the best winners of all the time. He has proven that he has the drive, the killer instinct and he is course as much as Michael Jordan .
Edgar Muarray but this was taped at the time Lebron won his first. Kobes career is over and Lebron is still going strong with 3 rings. Doesn't look like he is slowing down. Btw Kobe did have the luxury of being drafted to a team with the best center in the league at the time. A guy who won an MVP, scoring title, made 8 all NBA teams, 3 all defensive teams during Kobes first 8 years in the league. Lebrons first seven years were spent without any All NBA players.
omieg89 that's exactly why Kobe had a harder time as a rookie. He got less than 10 minutes per game and had prime shaq on his team so shaq scored a shit ton. Lebron's team was shit so he did all the scoring
You can see the love Michael has for Kobe whenever he talks about him. He really was like his little brother. RIP Kobe. You and Michael were my basketball heroes and my heart feels heavy knowing you are no longer with us. To you and your daughter, we all send our prayers and our love. RIP Kobe, and RIP Gianna
"he is cursed as much as I am" that's the perfect line to describe Kobe and even more Jordan They are obsessed by the game, winning it's like a drug to them That is where lebron is different, he doesn't have it

@@bobabooey4537 I'll bring him back, along with Gianna. Not as a hologram or AI robot. But back as a human being, which Kobe's and Gianna's family can touch, hug, kiss and more. He will look exactly the same, he will remember absolutely everything. His family, daughters, wife, mom and dad, his friends, Shaq, Pau Gasol, MJ, LBJ, he will remember and be able to still play and teach Gigi basketball, and laugh, and cry and smile and more. So Rest in Peace Kobe... for now, until I bring you back in 2023, 2024 at the latest, by the grace, help and love of beautiful god.

Watching this after Lakers are in the finals hit so different after this trash 2020. Losing Kobe, Lebron in Lakers uni guarding Jamal Murray, putting the series away at year 17 when they needed him... Bron, MJ, Kobe, Kareem, Shaq, Duncan, Russell, Wilt, Magic, Bird etc. These players are really 1 step higher than superstars. They are something else and we are privileged to witness that.
Both MJ and LBJ are physical specimens. Sky walkers with incredible strength. The fact that we are talking about Kobe as complementary to those two just goes to show the level of skill and polish Kobe had in his game. He’s not the most physically gifted but he will school everyone in every other way.
xx 3rd best, behind LeBron and MJ. Can’t believe that you Kobe stans can look at the accolades and stat comparisons and dare ever say Kobe was better then LeBron. That point in time is over, LeBron is better.
ғᴏʀᴛᴜɴᴇ you bronsexuals know it takes more than stat padding and playing in a weak east to be the best right? Lebron came to the west and couldn’t even make the playoffs. Stop with the Kobe disrespect.
SwiftVisual Here we go, when your wrong call me a bronsexual and talk false points about statpadding AND about him missing the West. Jesus chris buddy, I guess I have to teach another Kobe stan. LeBron, before he got injured, was leading the Lakers to the playoffs. The Lakers were ON PACE to be the 4th seeded team in the West. When he got injured and came back, he was putting up 29 PPG, 7 RPG and 9 APG, but had no help, especially after Lonzo and Ingram went down. They were doomed. Also, statpadding? Really? There is no such thing as statpadding in a conference, pal. You play every team in the playoffs, and every year LeBron has gone to the Finals the East had a talented team, whether it was Boston, Chicago, Indiana, Toronto, etc etc. And, how does LeBron statpad in the East if when he goes to the Finals he puts the same, no, BETTER numbers? How does LeBron stat pad in the East if he averages the same numbers against Western Conference Teams? What do you Kobe stans really have? You guys have NO argument for Kobe being better then LeBron. Do you know that statistically, LeBron is better then Kobe in the clutch? Clutch shots: Game tying or Go ahead baskets with under 10s in POSTSEASON (the most important part of the NBA, btw). LeBron James: 12/23, 52%. Kobe Bryant: 5/22, 23%. Ahaha, but let me guess, since his names Kobe Bryant you would come up with false accusations of him being more clutch then LeBron because of “mAmBa MeNtAlItY.” What do you Kobe stans really have over LeBron? Rings? That’s about it. LeBron beats Kobe in EVERY stat, EVERY accolade, shooting %’s. Give it up. Let Kobe fall below LeBron like he belongs.
him speaking of KD , even as a joke, when asked about Bron and Kobe shows how good KD really is. While we fans shit on him for GSW, Steph would not have 4 right now if it wasn't for KD. KD could have gone to Boston or anywhere else and have a good shot at a title. BKN might even win it this year if Simmons starts to come around as he has been last few weeks.
@@Jack-vd1iv and the fact that lebrons latest championship run was statistically proven to be the second or third easiest of all time definately doesnt help his case
@@JumpingOnion ‘statistically proven to be the second easiest championship’ is the biggest bs. A chip is a chip, a ring is a ring. Even for that case, tell me a single one of Kobe’s championship runs that was tougher than lebron with the cavs in 2016. I love Kobe but that man did have shaq.
Mj’s answer is actually very interesting. In terms of dominance, Lebron, an individual talent. Than he says in terms of championships Kobe, a team accomplishment. Tbh it would probably be better if we left rings out of individual GOAT debates. MVP’s, DPOY’s and All-NBA’s are probably more important though even those stats can be misconstrued.
MJ understands that comparing players isn't as simple as "Kobe has 5 LeBron has 1 so Kobe's better durrrrrr." Great thing about basketball is how much nuance and individual ability has to do with greatness in the sport.
He’s not talking about determination. Cause lebron has that too. It’s their mentality and how they play the game off basketball that’s so similar between them. Lebrons mindset is much different then theres
when you bring the ring argument, always partner it with finals MVPs. Kobe got 5 rings with 2 FMVPs. It means he's not the best player in the other 3 rings. Lebron got 4 rings with 4 FMVPs. 4 FMVPs beats 2 Also 4 regular season MVPs beats 1
@@pablorp4234 that's your argument? 🤣🤣🤣 how many times Lebron entered the finals? How many times Kobe got eliminated in the playoffs? How many times Kobe did not entered playoffs? 🤣🤣🤣 Let's go back to achievements. Who's got the most MVPs?🤣🤣🤣

Mike always toed the line with this one. He seemed to always prefer Kobe's approach to the game and knew he was most similar to him, but also knew he could never really give him the satisfaction of having the torch officially passed to him
For years I’ve been trying to find the audio in the background. The full audio is on Apple Music and it’s called Intro (mamba mentality) by Highway Ja.
LeBron is 33 years old putting up better numbers and playing more minutes. Jordan always slick down plays LeBron because he knows LeBron is the only real threat to him. Y’all stuck on LeBron Finals record, bruh LeBron was taking teams that shouldn’t be there, there. Jordan was losing do a good min before he finally broke through 🤷🏾♂️ I never got to watch jordan play a single game, but still I’m taking LeBron as the GOAT
Benjamin Franklin Michael Jordan doesn’t have to carry the load LeBron does. You’re delusional if you say otherwise. You probably never even watched Jordan play a single game. You just a sheep that believe what folks show you and you see UA-cam highlights of him
Big Tay no I actually know basketball that’s all lol . You just regurgitate talking points you hear other people say. “Jordan never had to carry the load Lebron had”........ in 91 and 98 Jordan led his team to the championship with 0 all stars on his roster and won both of those finals. Lebron hasn’t even won a single ring without playing alongside two all stars simultaneously. Unlike Lebron, Jordan wasn’t ranked 300th in defensive efficiency at age 33. He played both offense and defense but keep repeating false narratives lol.
Big Tay if you combine the all star appearances of lebron’s teammates throughout his career(wade, kyrie , bosh and love) you get 33. When you combine the all star appearances of Pippen and Rodman, you get 9 Lol.
Benjamin Franklin actually that’s what you do. Jordan never had to lead the bulls in points, rebounds, assists EVER. Jordan retired and the Bulls still went to the playoffs and was a 50+ win team.... you do realize that right? Every time LeBron has left a team that instantly become a lottery team. There is no discussion, LeBrons workload is much higher than Jordan’s. Hell its easy to average 30 when Scottie Pippen guarding the opposing teams best player and Rodman averaging almost 20 rebounds lol. Get the hell outta here bruh.
I mean he gave really good points in this interview, I’m honestly impressed he even gave Bron props whatsoever. At this point, Kobe was far and ahead the bigger winner than Bron. Now it’s a bit less cut and dry because imo Bron is on his way to a 5th and possibly 6th ring in the next few years, but back then it was clear cut that Kobe had succeeded ringwise 5x as much as Bron had.
Yeahhh truuu but he kinda just switching and trading players until he wins rings. If he stayed in Cleveland and never left he would probably have just 1 rings maybe 2 at most . Kobe stayed and grounded until his body gave out and got 5 rings. And you look at lebron a game is solely based on the refs. He’s unstoppable cause once he charges you can’t touch him cause you’ll get a foul and he will get an“ And 1” and if he runs you over ( which should be an offensive foul ) he still gets an “And 1”. Then If you take away the stars he always had ( wade, bosh, Allen, kyrie, AD, Rondo( future hall of famer), Shaq, kevin love, derrick rose ( 2010) Jr Smith ( back when he was decent ) Jordan clarkson, not even talking about how stacked Lakers are ( Dwight, Danny green, Pope, Kuzma, Caruso, Magee, atekumpo brother) . Yeah lebron isn’t that great. If not for the refs you can guard him without getting bs calls. Without stars he will be forced to actually upgrade his game rather then being half guard due to all the fire power on his team and if the refs don’t give him every call ( he got called for charging once in the last 12 play off games - even the commentators of ESPN FINALS were asking why the refs let him get away with so much) . Lebron becomes 1 super guardable - cause his passing to 2-3 different superstars is the best part of his game. But if he don’t got stars like Kobe did for a while.. bruh all he would do is charge and get offensive fouls and and maybe average 14 points a game due to foul trouble. This doesn’t include his regular season defense which is basically as good as DeLo’s.
Skrt Reynolds lebron is great no doubt. What he has done.. his legacy. Everything on paper is 🔥. But if Jordan and Kobe had as much ref help alone- just ref help that LBJ has. Dude they would tear the league up. Each NBA player was interviewed on whether they would have Kobe or LBJ. I think all but one said Kobe. Me and you both aren’t in the nba so I believe those guys have greater knowledge then both of us. Now if Kobe or Jordan had a free path to the free throw line with every drive... the amount of rings they would have would be insane. Kobe if he get the foul calls lebron has easily 7-8 rings. Kobe would not have torn his Achilles, broke his finger, nose etc. Kobe played his heart out injured and still shooting free throws. This is because refs let people get away with litterly rough dogging Kobe and ofc Jordan( bad boy piston era etc). What happens if you rough dog lebron ? You he goes through the free throw line right away. So the amount of physicality that Kobe and Jordan has to deal with ( without the refs) and the physicality lebron has to deal with? I mean... think about it? There’s a reason lebron stays injured free so long- you litterly can’t look at him wrong without getting a foul. Now replace lebron with Jordan and Kobe on all those team. Kobe on just that Lakers team alone.. man that’s a ring for sure. Give Kobe Wade and bosh? Give Kobe kyrie and love? Kobe and AD? Now give Jordan those guys.. holy hell!!! Those humans wanted to win more then to live. Jordan would probably have 10 rings if he has refs and the stars. Kobe would have 7 if he had those stars too. Can’t tell me I’m wrong about this.. everyone knows deep down this is Hella true. And lakers are deep af.. Dwight isn’t prime Dwight but man he put up numbers and work. Danny green is reliable as hell, kuz was fire in the playoffs you kidding me? Rondo past his prime but it didn’t look like that in the play off? Caruso is just kinda funny- but that light skin boy can fly. McGee isn’t actually amazing but can he give you minutes and protect that rim. Pope you can’t discredit him man.. 12 point average per game but also making 20+ points in the final games. That’s a lot of help my dude. Help Kobe and Jordan if given.. would have also an easy ring.
That is strategically speaking very clever answer: while speaking out his true attitude without really being offensive, MJ’s answer also implies who is THE King on record.

Kobe the 2nd best ever. He is the product of the GOAT mentoring and teaching someone how to play the game
xx 3rd best, behind LeBron and MJ. Can’t believe that you Kobe stans can look at the accolades and stat comparisons and dare ever say Kobe was better then LeBron. That point in time is over, LeBron is better.
ғᴏʀᴛᴜɴᴇ
I agree
ғᴏʀᴛᴜɴᴇ you bronsexuals know it takes more than stat padding and playing in a weak east to be the best right? Lebron came to the west and couldn’t even make the playoffs. Stop with the Kobe disrespect.
SwiftVisual Here we go, when your wrong call me a bronsexual and talk false points about statpadding AND about him missing the West. Jesus chris buddy, I guess I have to teach another Kobe stan. LeBron, before he got injured, was leading the Lakers to the playoffs. The Lakers were ON PACE to be the 4th seeded team in the West. When he got injured and came back, he was putting up 29 PPG, 7 RPG and 9 APG, but had no help, especially after Lonzo and Ingram went down. They were doomed. Also, statpadding? Really? There is no such thing as statpadding in a conference, pal. You play every team in the playoffs, and every year LeBron has gone to the Finals the East had a talented team, whether it was Boston, Chicago, Indiana, Toronto, etc etc. And, how does LeBron statpad in the East if when he goes to the Finals he puts the same, no, BETTER numbers? How does LeBron stat pad in the East if he averages the same numbers against Western Conference Teams? What do you Kobe stans really have? You guys have NO argument for Kobe being better then LeBron. Do you know that statistically, LeBron is better then Kobe in the clutch? Clutch shots: Game tying or Go ahead baskets with under 10s in POSTSEASON (the most important part of the NBA, btw). LeBron James: 12/23, 52%. Kobe Bryant: 5/22, 23%. Ahaha, but let me guess, since his names Kobe Bryant you would come up with false accusations of him being more clutch then LeBron because of “mAmBa MeNtAlItY.” What do you Kobe stans really have over LeBron? Rings? That’s about it. LeBron beats Kobe in EVERY stat, EVERY accolade, shooting %’s. Give it up. Let Kobe fall below LeBron like he belongs.

@@jrsmith1998 i mean last year kd was the best player in the league ik he is a snake but i cant wait to see how he does in brooklyn
him speaking of KD , even as a joke, when asked about Bron and Kobe shows how good KD really is.
While we fans shit on him for GSW, Steph would not have 4 right now if it wasn't for KD. KD could have gone to Boston or anywhere else and have a good shot at a title. BKN might even win it this year if Simmons starts to come around as he has been last few weeks.

@@Jack-vd1iv and the fact that lebrons latest championship run was statistically proven to be the second or third easiest of all time definately doesnt help his case
@@JumpingOnion ‘statistically proven to be the second easiest championship’ is the biggest bs. A chip is a chip, a ring is a ring. Even for that case, tell me a single one of Kobe’s championship runs that was tougher than lebron with the cavs in 2016. I love Kobe but that man did have shaq.
Mj’s answer is actually very interesting. In terms of dominance, Lebron, an individual talent. Than he says in terms of championships Kobe, a team accomplishment. Tbh it would probably be better if we left rings out of individual GOAT debates. MVP’s, DPOY’s and All-NBA’s are probably more important though even those stats can be misconstrued.

MJ understands that comparing players isn't as simple as "Kobe has 5 LeBron has 1 so Kobe's better durrrrrr." Great thing about basketball is how much nuance and individual ability has to do with greatness in the sport.
"He's Cursed As Much As I Am"
Down 4 that’s not what mj means he means Kobe is determined like him
Down 4 u clown
Down 4 omg you’re so woke
@Down 4 sold their souls to who? Illuminati? Well yea you're right about that one but Jordan meant a different thing
He’s not talking about determination. Cause lebron has that too. It’s their mentality and how they play the game off basketball that’s so similar between them. Lebrons mindset is much different then theres

Yeah but 10 finals appearances and only 4 wins is a bad win to loss ratio. He lost more than he won on the biggest stage.
when you bring the ring argument, always partner it with finals MVPs.
Kobe got 5 rings with 2 FMVPs. It means he's not the best player in the other 3 rings.
Lebron got 4 rings with 4 FMVPs.
4 FMVPs beats 2
Also
4 regular season MVPs beats 1

He made the right choice.

RIP KOBE the legend NO 24 ; 8
Kobe will always be better then LeBron he dominated with the one club like Jordan.
Bron actually did with 3 clubs
What does that even mean
Tell me how kobe is better than lebron without using rings. 4mvps to 1. 3fmvps to 2.
Lol Shaq won Kobe that 3rings😂 Kobe was been a sidekick majority of his rings
Who cares how many teams he played for. It doesn’t matter at all. Cause I know you haven’t played for any of them
The quality on this video for it being 8 years old is crazy good
For years I’ve been trying to find the audio in the background. The full audio is on Apple Music and it’s called Intro (mamba mentality) by Highway Ja.
LeBron is 33 years old putting up better numbers and playing more minutes. Jordan always slick down plays LeBron because he knows LeBron is the only real threat to him. Y’all stuck on LeBron Finals record, bruh LeBron was taking teams that shouldn’t be there, there. Jordan was losing do a good min before he finally broke through 🤷🏾♂️ I never got to watch jordan play a single game, but still I’m taking LeBron as the GOAT
Big Tay you’re delusional. Jordan at age 33 won the scoring title, finals mvp and was defensive first team LOL
Benjamin Franklin Michael Jordan doesn’t have to carry the load LeBron does. You’re delusional if you say otherwise. You probably never even watched Jordan play a single game. You just a sheep that believe what folks show you and you see UA-cam highlights of him
Big Tay no I actually know basketball that’s all lol . You just regurgitate talking points you hear other people say. “Jordan never had to carry the load Lebron had”........ in 91 and 98 Jordan led his team to the championship with 0 all stars on his roster and won both of those finals. Lebron hasn’t even won a single ring without playing alongside two all stars simultaneously. Unlike Lebron, Jordan wasn’t ranked 300th in defensive efficiency at age 33. He played both offense and defense but keep repeating false narratives lol.
Big Tay if you combine the all star appearances of lebron’s teammates throughout his career(wade, kyrie , bosh and love) you get 33. When you combine the all star appearances of Pippen and Rodman, you get 9 Lol.
Benjamin Franklin actually that’s what you do. Jordan never had to lead the bulls in points, rebounds, assists EVER. Jordan retired and the Bulls still went to the playoffs and was a 50+ win team.... you do realize that right? Every time LeBron has left a team that instantly become a lottery team. There is no discussion, LeBrons workload is much higher than Jordan’s. Hell its easy to average 30 when Scottie Pippen guarding the opposing teams best player and Rodman averaging almost 20 rebounds lol. Get the hell outta here bruh.
I mean he gave really good points in this interview, I’m honestly impressed he even gave Bron props whatsoever. At this point, Kobe was far and ahead the bigger winner than Bron. Now it’s a bit less cut and dry because imo Bron is on his way to a 5th and possibly 6th ring in the next few years, but back then it was clear cut that Kobe had succeeded ringwise 5x as much as Bron had.
Yeahhh truuu but he kinda just switching and trading players until he wins rings. If he stayed in Cleveland and never left he would probably have just 1 rings maybe 2 at most . Kobe stayed and grounded until his body gave out and got 5 rings. And you look at lebron a game is solely based on the refs. He’s unstoppable cause once he charges you can’t touch him cause you’ll get a foul and he will get an“ And 1” and if he runs you over ( which should be an offensive foul ) he still gets an “And 1”. Then If you take away the stars he always had ( wade, bosh, Allen, kyrie, AD, Rondo( future hall of famer), Shaq, kevin love, derrick rose ( 2010) Jr Smith ( back when he was decent ) Jordan clarkson, not even talking about how stacked Lakers are ( Dwight, Danny green, Pope, Kuzma, Caruso, Magee, atekumpo brother) . Yeah lebron isn’t that great. If not for the refs you can guard him without getting bs calls. Without stars he will be forced to actually upgrade his game rather then being half guard due to all the fire power on his team and if the refs don’t give him every call ( he got called for charging once in the last 12 play off games - even the commentators of ESPN FINALS were asking why the refs let him get away with so much) . Lebron becomes 1 super guardable - cause his passing to 2-3 different superstars is the best part of his game. But if he don’t got stars like Kobe did for a while.. bruh all he would do is charge and get offensive fouls and and maybe average 14 points a game due to foul trouble. This doesn’t include his regular season defense which is basically as good as DeLo’s.
Skrt Reynolds lebron is great no doubt. What he has done.. his legacy. Everything on paper is 🔥. But if Jordan and Kobe had as much ref help alone- just ref help that LBJ has. Dude they would tear the league up. Each NBA player was interviewed on whether they would have Kobe or LBJ. I think all but one said Kobe. Me and you both aren’t in the nba so I believe those guys have greater knowledge then both of us. Now if Kobe or Jordan had a free path to the free throw line with every drive... the amount of rings they would have would be insane. Kobe if he get the foul calls lebron has easily 7-8 rings. Kobe would not have torn his Achilles, broke his finger, nose etc. Kobe played his heart out injured and still shooting free throws. This is because refs let people get away with litterly rough dogging Kobe and ofc Jordan( bad boy piston era etc). What happens if you rough dog lebron ? You he goes through the free throw line right away. So the amount of physicality that Kobe and Jordan has to deal with ( without the refs) and the physicality lebron has to deal with? I mean... think about it? There’s a reason lebron stays injured free so long- you litterly can’t look at him wrong without getting a foul. Now replace lebron with Jordan and Kobe on all those team. Kobe on just that Lakers team alone.. man that’s a ring for sure. Give Kobe Wade and bosh? Give Kobe kyrie and love? Kobe and AD? Now give Jordan those guys.. holy hell!!! Those humans wanted to win more then to live. Jordan would probably have 10 rings if he has refs and the stars. Kobe would have 7 if he had those stars too. Can’t tell me I’m wrong about this.. everyone knows deep down this is Hella true. And lakers are deep af.. Dwight isn’t prime Dwight but man he put up numbers and work. Danny green is reliable as hell, kuz was fire in the playoffs you kidding me? Rondo past his prime but it didn’t look like that in the play off? Caruso is just kinda funny- but that light skin boy can fly. McGee isn’t actually amazing but can he give you minutes and protect that rim. Pope you can’t discredit him man.. 12 point average per game but also making 20+ points in the final games. That’s a lot of help my dude. Help Kobe and Jordan if given.. would have also an easy ring.
That is strategically speaking very clever answer: while speaking out his true attitude without really being offensive, MJ’s answer also implies who is THE King on record.
@Malik Dhami
you weren’t paying attention to the video, clearly. he said since they’re both so good he’s going to use winning as a tie breaker.
Winning as a sidekick? Alright
