8 Quotes about Kobe Bryant that define his career

6) Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant

“I’ll start off with Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Kobe Bryant in his prime, LeBron in his prime, D Wade in his prime, Mello. That’s a good start. I don’t think I’d lose; other than Kobe Bryant because he steals all my moves”

In a 2K interview with his airness, Michael Jordan, a question was raised about whom MJ would love to play one-on-one against in his prime. This quote was the response. When the best player to ever play the game says that he may lose to you, you have a metaphorical torch in your hand; and when they accuse you of stealing all their moves, it is flattery. That’s exactly how Kobe responded

He didn’t need to deny it. It’s true. Great players play alike.

Jordan still often publicly admits that he has nothing but love and respect for the Black Mamba

Domino effect. I stole some of his..this generation stole some of mine #thecycle
