Because mike was more athletic then coby,coby has better foot work. but jordan has a better vertical and bigger hands.those two things gives jordan the edge.
The master and his student..MJ put Kobe into the Hall of Fame..and spoke at Kobe's service masterfully..Kobe was smiling down listening to his idol..idolizing him..Great moments.. a very sad time.
The way he emulates his exact movement is eery. The whole world wanted to be like mike but Kobe actually clearly studied it and came damn close to even improving the prototype. Beautiful style of game that we miss very much
MJ was more fluid no doubt about it. MJ used rhythm to get his opponents out of position, Kobe’s used a bit more jerky deception to get opponent out of position. I actually think both a little more different than the average pundit thinks.
because MJ had way more lift and creates way more separation than Kobe did, that's why MJ looked more fluid. what Kobe did was impressive in itself because he didn't have the same kind of lift MJ had.
It's more fluid because MJ did it more reactively, whereas Kobe was more premeditated.....and Kobe did it more in a jerky movement....Jordan definitely created more space with his post moves and footwork, and it wasn't because he jumped higher

@@danarmstrong943 I will say again, only people who don't know anything about basketball watch statistics. Yeah, Jordan has more points, more assists, more blocks, more rebounds, more steals and better FG per game than Kobe, also Lebron has more points, more rebounds, more assists, more blocks, more steals, better FG. Who is better? Kobe 🤣 Lebron isn't even close. It is horrible to compare player eho hada more injuries than Lebron and MJ combined, player who played first 3 seasons on thr bench and played 20 minutes per game, and Jordan and Lebron on other side players who played in their first season full matches. It is different, yeah Kobe don't have 50 points in finals, Lebron has 5, Jordan 4 and what? It means nothing, Kobe never svored 50 points and he didn't have to do that. If he had to do it, he would do it always, Kobe has more 40 points than Lebron and KD combined, more 50 points than Lebron, KD and Curry combined, more 60 points than Lebron and Jordan combined and of course, he stays alone with 81 points. When Lebron win 6 titles, I will say he is the GOAT, of he don't do it, he will never be for me over Kobe, it isn't just about stats, I don't care about statistics, I watch hoe guy play, he play the right way, when I watch him, he is the most skilled player ever.

You don’t have a clue what basketball is and how it’s supposed to be played.
First I watched Kobe and then I studied MJ footage and it was scary how similar they are! And now watching them both...sheesh...scary but also proof what a brilliant and psycho mind Kobe had to emulate and do exactly what was proven to work, in terms of skills, the training regimen, leadership style, preparation and with his own twist that became the Black Mamba🔥 the two best ever. If somebody dislikes these two, then they don't like basketball or sports.
MJ was just so speedy n strong with his moves, just looks effortless...Kobe wasn't as speedy or strong but could still do the same move ending in the same results
There Is No K.O.B.E without M.J. They both are the greatest two guards to ever play the game. Both werer incredible on the defensive side of the ball and offensive side of the ball! RIP Kobe I miss you everyday #GhostNation
I actually think both are a little more different than the average pundit thinks. MJ was more fluid no doubt. MJ used rhythm to get his opponents out of position, Kobe used a bit more jerky deception to get opponent out of position. Both could do the same things but in slightly different ways.
Jordan had this smooth movement seemed like he was levitating. I think Kobe is actually more technical, and plays with more force, because he didn’t have as much of that natural athleticism. To me Kobe’s moves are so refined and controlled it’s a thing of beauty.
of course he copied him....kobe and prime mcgrady is the closest to jordan for sure...but kobe moves and style of play was jordan. he copied him to perfectly....
lance Kelley of course Kobe was nice as hell , I’m just saying that every move that Kobe had in his arsenal is Jordan’s ...he replicated every move....Kobe didn’t have his own style..it was Jordan’s
I do like how these are put together. I have to say one thing now.. in the middle of a game these are natural moments from a teacher to a student.. and the student learning his craft with the wisdom of the teacher. These are awesome moments but they are very respected in their own entity. We are late to the show so thank you. Peace and love to the Great Kobe Bryant Jordan's little bro.
We need to take into account that both players played for the same coach and are executing the same plays that were called by Phil Jackson. We all know Kobe modeled his game after Jordan, but keep in mind, as a coach, Phil goes with what works and what works is both players are an unbelievable matchup who can deliver.
I grew up watching Kobe and I was to young to have seen Jordan's greatness. The world taught me to hate Jordan because he was always compared to Kobe. Watching Kobe I would say there was no way someone was this good or better. Then I started to watch Michael and that hate turned into respect. I won't argue who is better but I will say that if MJ is 1, Kobe is 1a. If Kobe is 1, MJ is 1a. I like them equally and understand that they are 2 of the greatest players of our lifetime.
My favorite moments of kobe is when i ended up living in AZ and my co-worker went to see a game suns vs lakers my co-worker he came to work the day saying kobe is a beast...
It's crazy smh but to be honest the only thing that Kobe can't do is the cradle dunk cause of Jordans ✋ size other than that it's like watching the same person in 2 different lifetimes unbelievable smh something like this only once in a lifetime big FACTS 💯
@@lioninthesun and kobe couldn't do some things that mj did too...like the gliding in the air.. the triple pump in the air.. the jelly the reverse... And stronger in the post, more atlethic
Kobe study MJ to the tee,and Michael gave him the time to teach him when Kobe asked for the advice!! The 2 🐐🐐's Miss you Bean!! Lakeshow for life!! RIP MAMBA and Gigi..
This video really shows how the fadeaway was so useful especially for setting up other moves. 5:27 lean back and hit the shot.. very next video, defender bites on the fadeaway because of how much separation it creates and pivoting in for the scoop is wide open.
@@vernonjohnson997 I guess it makes sense,Kobe with Jordan as partners is like two kings ruling the same kingdom,that’s what I took out of your comment
A 48 inche vertical (Jordan)compared to 38inche vertical of kobe eventho both had the finesse however Jordan's moves off of 48 inches will appear to look more dynamic and crisp
Kobe can't really play like 88-93 Jordan when Jordan's speed and explosiveness was just insane, Kobe played more like a discounted 96-98 Jordan in most of his career but with more 3-point shots. Both are great but if you only look at 88-93 Jordan, that was on another level. 88-93 Jordan was way better than 96-98 Jordan.

If somebody dislikes these two, then they don't like basketball or sports.
Kobe had a jordan reel in his head amazing
Kobe:hey big bro i will copy your moves
MJ:sure it will lead you to greatness
Kobe:yes i know
MJ:i miss you lil bro😟
❤❤❤
hmm.. like an anime
So cringe
Always Been A Jordan Fan But R.I.P. Bryant Was Extremely Close Much Love and Respect God Continue To Bless This Mans Whole Entire Family 💯
MJ was just so speedy n strong with his moves, just looks effortless...Kobe wasn't as speedy or strong but could still do the same move ending in the same results
The fact that the plays were all on identical sides of the court makes this video amazing.......
The goat and the calf.
There Is No K.O.B.E without M.J. They both are the greatest two guards to ever play the game. Both werer incredible on the defensive side of the ball and offensive side of the ball! RIP Kobe I miss you everyday #GhostNation
I actually think both are a little more different than the average pundit thinks. MJ was more fluid no doubt. MJ used rhythm to get his opponents out of position, Kobe used a bit more jerky deception to get opponent out of position. Both could do the same things but in slightly different ways.
Jordan had this smooth movement seemed like he was levitating. I think Kobe is actually more technical, and plays with more force, because he didn’t have as much of that natural athleticism. To me Kobe’s moves are so refined and controlled it’s a thing of beauty.
The goaltending shot is actually incredible, when youtubers make the passing of the torch vids this is what it should be
MJ looks noticeably much quicker with his release and movements
Georges Dorelus I wouldn’t say that it actually looks like Kobe has a higher arc to his shot
Kobe era more faster
Now finally people will understand that Kobe didn’t really copy Jordan, but that Jordan taught him. Kobe was just a great student
Russell Walton very so
FACTS
of course he copied him....kobe and prime mcgrady is the closest to jordan for sure...but kobe moves and style of play was jordan. he copied him to perfectly....
@@ONETAKEBKLYN kobe is
lance Kelley of course Kobe was nice as hell , I’m just saying that every move that Kobe had in his arsenal is Jordan’s ...he replicated every move....Kobe didn’t have his own style..it was Jordan’s
2:58-3:08 MJ’s technique in the post was just vastly superior to Kobe’s, and his moves were discernibly more explosive and controlled, too.
I don't think so
@@finstonhoward7467 I don’t give a shit about ur thoughts.
@@finstonhoward7467 it's a fact
I disagree Kobe footwork was way better and he was more acrobatic.
@@finstonhoward7467 no it wasn't. Kobe's footwork is sloppy and no one is more acrobatic than MJ
I do like how these are put together. I have to say one thing now.. in the middle of a game these are natural moments from a teacher to a student.. and the student learning his craft with the wisdom of the teacher. These are awesome moments but they are very respected in their own entity. We are late to the show so thank you. Peace and love to the Great Kobe Bryant Jordan's little bro.
This looks like a competitive game of HORSE
I want to like your comment but I’d rather leave it at 24.
@@blackpepa78 well it's ruined now
mj's fade away is a thing of beauty so is the footwork! amazing!
Kobe always said pay attention to detail
Kobe definitely has one of the prettiest fallaways. RIP my man.
As a life long Knicks fan, I felt this video in my soul.
Whoever made this video spent alot of time watching MJ and kobe highlights
Really appreciate the amount of work and time that was dedicated to this, thank you. Even found an identical goaltend lol!
❤🖤❤🐐
💛💜💛🐐
Mike Jordan's A1 and Kobe Bryant A2
Mj was hella quick
Kobe was great! But the GOAT is poetry in motion
Imagine KOBE N JORDAN on the same team smh my god that will be something
DEAD GRATEFUL yoooo imagine 😂😂
wont work they need the ball in their hands to be effective...
Eden Eden Valencia Mj and Kobe will find a way to make it work. They are basically brothers and will do anything for each other.
That's dumb Nobody wants to see that
@@kennybens5097 no you don’t want to see it but most ppl would
We need to take into account that both players played for the same coach and are executing the same plays that were called by Phil Jackson. We all know Kobe modeled his game after Jordan, but keep in mind, as a coach, Phil goes with what works and what works is both players are an unbelievable matchup who can deliver.
Wait this wasn’t a compilation of 100 of Michael Jordan’s plays?
💀💀💀
MJ is kobe dad, Kobe is MJ baby
I dont know man but Jordan's move still looks more sick
I grew up watching Kobe and I was to young to have seen Jordan's greatness. The world taught me to hate Jordan because he was always compared to Kobe. Watching Kobe I would say there was no way someone was this good or better. Then I started to watch Michael and that hate turned into respect. I won't argue who is better but I will say that if MJ is 1, Kobe is 1a. If Kobe is 1, MJ is 1a. I like them equally and understand that they are 2 of the greatest players of our lifetime.
Jordan wasn't being compared to Kobe, Kobe was being compared to MJ because MJ was first.
Lebron james GOAT!
Much respects for being open minded. I am definitely a Kobe fan at heart, but I can see an argument for either player.
Michael Jordan A1 and Kobe Bryant A2
@Championship Boxing so who is your A2?
@Championship Boxing bro stop it whit the crying lol
Lebron Z666
@Championship Boxing let's see your A2 compare to kobe.
Championship Boxing who is your A2, dumbass? Is everyone else just below average to you? You bandwagon fuck
My favorite moments of kobe is when i ended up living in AZ and my co-worker went to see a game suns vs lakers my co-worker he came to work the day saying kobe is a beast...
He won another championship that year and yes i called off work!!!
THE PERFECT COPY : Kobe was Kise in real life
I didn’t even know they had 50😯 R.I.P. Kobe💜💛
It's crazy smh but to be honest the only thing that Kobe can't do is the cradle dunk cause of Jordans ✋ size other than that it's like watching the same person in 2 different lifetimes unbelievable smh something like this only once in a lifetime big FACTS 💯
Jordan couldn't do some things that Kobe did, Kobe is a little more agile
@@lioninthesun and kobe couldn't do some things that mj did too...like the gliding in the air.. the triple pump in the air.. the jelly the reverse... And stronger in the post, more atlethic
@@ranholic5027 Kobe better than Mike in the post
Sorry 🙏
Bernard Hepburn hell no
@@seekerbahama what?!
This must have taken a long time to put together, Thank you for this masterpiece!
Kobe study MJ to the tee,and Michael gave him the time to teach him when Kobe asked for the advice!! The 2 🐐🐐's Miss you Bean!! Lakeshow for life!! RIP MAMBA and Gigi..
Confirm KB AND MJ are the best players in the planet... Nice video 👌 salamat...
This video really shows how the fadeaway was so useful especially for setting up other moves. 5:27 lean back and hit the shot.. very next video, defender bites on the fadeaway because of how much separation it creates and pivoting in for the scoop is wide open.
michael jordan the teacher... kobe bryant the student... respect to the g.o.a.ts 🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻
Kobe is truly missed 😢💔
U make me cry again
Damn ! Jordan was much faster , had a higher vertical, with much larger hands. Kobe mimic the hell out of mike though! Learn almost every move.
Even the defenders playing defensively against MJ were faster.
Man this is all universal! That pass from Gasol to Kobe was literally the exact pass! Wow. Is this what parallel universes look like.
KOBEE!! YOU ARE THE SHIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!R I P LAkers for life!!
I don't care what anyone says Jordan and Kobe are by far the 2 greatest players of all time. No one can do what they did on offense and defense.
Could you do a questions and answers???
Great video bro
🙏🏾 Thank You! RIP KOBE!!!
The greatest ever after michael jordan. Kobe bryant forever immortalized as the best and closest the nba will ever get to jordan.
I'll take Allen Iverson over kobe any day to pair up with Jordan because its two different styles but with the same results...real talk 💯
@@vernonjohnson997 who said anything about AI
@@yossimelamed9555 read the overall topic of what I was saying and you will get my point 👉
@@vernonjohnson997 I guess it makes sense,Kobe with Jordan as partners is like two kings ruling the same kingdom,that’s what I took out of your comment
@@yossimelamed9555 I seriously see your point of view king 🤴
Kobe wants to be like Mike and work hard to be the next Jordan. He became his own man, the goat of 2000s
MJ had stronger pump in his legs
And bigger hands than kobe🤲🏀
Al of these were post prime Bryant
@@BeefPapa a lot of MJs were also later in his career
@@RugumiTenshi there's a lot of early 90's MJ there. I think we watched different videos.
A 48 inche vertical (Jordan)compared to 38inche vertical of kobe eventho both had the finesse however Jordan's moves off of 48 inches will appear to look more dynamic and crisp
What's even more mind blown is some of these clips feature Michael and Kobe scoring on each other
Kobe can't really play like 88-93 Jordan when Jordan's speed and explosiveness was just insane, Kobe played more like a discounted 96-98 Jordan in most of his career but with more 3-point shots. Both are great but if you only look at 88-93 Jordan, that was on another level. 88-93 Jordan was way better than 96-98 Jordan.
Why no one else ever says this!!! All facts!!!
They were kindred spirits.. This is great work.. put together we'll...Great.👍👍👍
Just one more crucial reason to add: Phil Jackson.
That's a lot of hard work to edit all that. Well done!
