MJ's fadeaway is more about elevation. Kobe's is more about hyperextending the spine backwards. Part of why he is the black mamba. MJ is quicker, more explosive, stronger, has bigger hands. When you watch them you can tell Kobe's shot relies more on fundamentals and perfected technique. They're not as identical as people think.
hydroneese tuno No lie but I think THIS season up and coming is gonna be one of the greatest seasons we're ever going to witness, Melo back in NY, Kobe is back, Rose is back, Lebron back in Cleveland, Super potential rookies since a long time, the sophomore's are gradually getting better, Paul Pierce and Garnett is no longer the big 2 without Allen they all split, Allen possibly moving with LBJ, and to top it all off, the East and West are going to be better powered than last season.
Notice how LeBron and Kobe are having fun and joking around with each other. Why can't we as fans do the same instead of constantly talking trash about the other great player?
Jimmy Russels Not being hostile, because I agree with you three, but it's just when I see people saying douchey things about Kobe, Im a huge Kobe fan and I don't like to see it, ya know? Especially when they say something really ignorant, I just think its disrespectful. Same deal for LeBron though.
@@alvarezgamersyou suck at basketball that's why and you don't know nba you suck your a sore liser imagine being short and hating on kobe which is richer than you and your family and friends are poor
***** Kobe learned his footwork directly from The Dream and combined it with some of MJ's moves. He is constantly studying the game. He even has a bit of Dirk's moves in his fadeaway as of late.
***** And only one other player has managed to do the same since then and he's in this video. If this ''move'' is so easy to *copy* you'd think there'd be much more players capable of doing it.
People also don't realise how much MJ was more athletic, physical and strong than Kobe ! Mj got Big hands that allow him to make everything he does look easy. Mj could jump quicker, higher, faster than Kobe. So please ! Aknowledge Kobe for what he's capable to do with less natural gift than Jordan. Kobe is my favourite player ever because,in the beginning, nobody ever though he would become the legend he is now ! He made his way through works, works and only works ... i Don't say Jordan didn't work (he is the best ever and this will be for a long time), but Kobe is an unexpected phenomenon !
@Nicholas Garcia Kobe is lying when he says that because people always say he copies everything Jordan did. Its obviously Jordan. Kobe copied everything from his moves to the way Jordan talked to all Jordans mannerisms
@Nicholas Garcia Kobe is a top 10 player ever, but he is FAR from a slightly worse Jordan. Jordan was FAR better then Kobe and its not that close. Thats why Jordan averaged 8 more PPG in the playoffs at a much better %
@Nicholas Garcia Lebron is great, but the GOAT talk is just because he is coming to the end of his career. Even Kobe got GOAT talk around Lebron's age and that has pretty much gone away now. 10 years from now Lebron will fall back into his 10-2 spot and everyone will again say Jordan is by far the GOAT
1:23 Good to see more of this. Kobe and Lebron are both great players, and DIFFERENT players that have mutual respect for each other. That being I personally love Kobe's style better.
I like that Kevin Durant has started to pick up this move. Except he does it more like Dirk which actually could work even better since the one leg up makes defenders not want to get too close.
Kobe actually does that too. I remember him saying to the commentators jokingly "i do it better than dirk"(something along that line) when he did it lol.
That's what a lot players do. They study other players. Kobe studied MJ, D-Wade, T-Mac, and Lebron. It wasn't quite as possible or feasible in the 90s but it's very common currently. CP3 has multiple TVs to study different people
John Vick Obviously a Laker's fan, let's be objective until Michael Jordan came along, Bill Russell was considered the greatest player of all time, if he isn't better than Johnson, he isn't better than Russell. Some still argue than Russell is greater than Jordan with valid points.
+Full dank The Heat didn't have scrubs. Chalmers and Cole and Battier and Birdman were straight hustle. Mike Miller, James Jones, and Ray Allen were sharp shooters. Mike had back problems but before that he was wet. It was a team built for Lebron's style of play.
How bout we keep it a the best of his time his competition and his league wich is really how it should be kept to avoid any unwanted buttrashes from all his fans
Same height, same coach, same position, same style of offense. MJ was stronger and faster but Kobe loves to shoot very deep, he has more range than MJ did.
@@sonofaballer96 Kobe more creative better handles and driving in and baseline and dunking and hitting big shots from anywhere with double triple teamd
You’re not wrong. Goku is a character that has a wide range of moves, that he’s learned from others. Like Kobe. But he perfected these moves (like the Kamehameha) vegeta just has his own moves, nothing really special(like lebron) but still powerful in his own right.
@@taewiz863 If you think of that way I guess so, but Goku is stronger is the whole point. And saying Kobe is higher on the GOAT list then Bron? Nah. Especially once Brons career is over.
Actually, its a good point. Lebron is like a football player playing basketball. He has the speed, size and strength, but doesn't have the finesse that Jordan and Kobe had.
If the Pacers are going to get their butts plugged by the Hawks, Heat are in the finals for sure. Okc might see an early round exit with the Grizzlies but I can see the Spurs taking the west and making it a rematch from last year. Clippers are pretty scary as well, being a disgruntled Warriors fan
Or no one copied it from anyone and great, innovative players just realized that this particular movement and shot can be effective if executed correctly...
When Kobe retires, i dont see any active player having the cold blood killer instinct that kobe and MJ had, maybe Durant can still develop it, Lebron as legendary as he is just doesn't have it

That's what a lot players do. They study other players. Kobe studied MJ, D-Wade, T-Mac, and Lebron. It wasn't quite as possible or feasible in the 90s but it's very common currently. CP3 has multiple TVs to study different people
