John Salley on Kobe Scoring 55 on Jordan After Jordan Said He'll Never Fill His Shoes (Part 4) 

AQT187 the man took Jordan’s entire game

@@battle1501 Mike didn't have the work ethic Kobe did. He was naturally gifted, where Kobe just had height. There is more to Kobe than just his game. There's never been a guy this dedicated to the game than him.

AQT187 then how you in the league for twenty years and only win 5 MJ in for 13 and win 6 really 11 1/2 cause he took a year in a half off. Seems to me MJ was more dedicated

@@battle1501 Jordan didn't spend half career surrounded by all time greats like Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, and Chris Mihm

AQT187 who you mean Bill Cartwright BJ Armstrong Will Perdu . Pippen and Grant. REALLY I mean Really

Exactly nothing personal but it's true unless you're from this generation and you rely solely on ESPN for your knowledge of basketball

Jordan is right he brought basketball literally to a worldwide stage. Who’s more recognizable still to this day. More so than any player to this day. Not even close

@J Day yes he did bitch

@J Day mike made the nba worldwide.They got hella money just off mike

U mean 2 big 4 Jordan shoes🤔 How many times, JORDAN shoes score 42 Inna half?

juice9100 thats not the same! Sorry “

@@twoods555 what you mean?

juice9100 he ain’t putting nip in the same breath as Kobe which is correct

Ryan Harkins not close most people didn’t know who he was til he passed. REALLY! I know youth coaches that would get the same love as Nip.

Bro I enjoyed that shit before he died shit sucks now that he’s gone

D Thomas I guess I worded it weird. I more mean the blind hate on people if they aren’t on my “team”. Kinda like dr Seuss rapper above us

@@YungPhilosopher ok cool. no one cares. you won't say it to his face though pussy

Fuck lebron

I feel the fuck out of that the media has too much of an influence in creating preconcieved notions about people in the spot light that are just narratives cooked up.

Young Nas lmao why you don’t like LeBron? There are times it seem like he Ben whining but we gotta admit he is a great player. He puts up the points. He belongs in the debate.

He might be fucking with vlad to you no how vlad always say my friend but I'm not gonna say his name.

ha ha totally. i laughed at that too. honestly, i cannot stand when Max or Colin speak. i just tune out. Stephen A i like almost all the time. Max is horrible. not only his analysis but i swear every show he just repeats CNN talking points.

paul thomas they’re all there to make hot takes Stephen a has said some outlandish shit before too , they’re all there for ratings

2 seconds later 😂

@MUFC damn that’s a long ass time from now..

Facts

Isaiah Thomas said John Salley would literally write jokes and perform them

😂

astheskylarksings I thought he said “leisure” lol

That was literally the club's name in Miami It wasn't a joke smfh... But shit he got me wondering what the clubs name is now... I'm a do everything at the Casino type of guy and left Miami a week after Drake made the Gods Plan video Feb 2018 like a week after the Super Bowl Philly won... I'm having a Rain Man moment 😂😂😂😂

MYOB BBC2782 hehe I know that was the club’s literal name. You didn’t get that real joke was me making his comment into a joke :)

He’s a fraud and a salty hater lol MJ not in his top 5?Should tell you everything regardless of his stupid reasons and FYI Salley was a bum

🤣🤣🤣You damn near had me spitting all over my tablet with that one! But Salley's resemble game is strong with JB Smoove. Thanks for the laugh and enjoy the remainder of your day. Stay blessed. 👍

Travel The Nomad First thing I thought

😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😁

I’ve been saying this for years lol glad I’m not the only one that sees it

I legit thought jb Smoove was this guy my whole life

😔😔😔

Yeah, I'm not watching basketball anymore, im so heartbroken!💯💯

SeDale Washington man like wtf😹 like he know Phil Jackson

Stg

That's an interrogation technique to get ppl to admit stuff vlad is the feds

SeDale Washington Me: To be a fly on that wall. Vlad: Hold my beer.

🤷‍♀️

LMAO…yea why are they even there smh

I thought he said it was iverson 🤔🤔🤔🤔

💯

Steven Brown I believe imho that Kobe is considered the most Relentless Shot TAKER.I would make an argument for that. I believe MJ is arguable the best Shot MAKER.

vman armand what do you believe is the difference between Michael and Kobe? It’s all basketball talk so I will keep it professional.

TBD Art I believe the difference between mike and Kobe was Mike learned how to win using his team Kobe didn’t mike learned when his shot wasn’t falling to win other ways Kobe would just keep shooting mike learned to get along with his team if just for the business of basketball Kobe was a loner they both were phenomenal on that court but mike was just a better all around basketball player I believe Kobe was a little more gifted in the athletic part but mentally mike was a little more gifted they’re both my favorite 2 guards of all time

Movies&&Highlights!!! Mjw had better fundamentals but not better footwork...

thank you cause ibwas gonna post the same type of thing he didnt do shit on Jordan but get like 2 or 3 charges that Jordan forced kobe to do but i love kobe still hes the 2nd greatest player ever.

Exactly those points weren't on Jordan but Kobe did get buckets that game though!!

Positions don’t mean shit when it come too matchups if you really hooped before

@@GerrodR true but if you go back and watch that game Jordan really wasn't guarding him like that. That's just facts. People like to say he was to make the story better but he wasn't. Don't get me wrong Kobe still tore their asses up but he didn't just go put 55 on MJ specifically.

Supreme Abdul-Jabbar lol the coach will put the best man to man defender on the opposing teams best scorer so it's safe to say old man Jordan would have would gotten it even worse than a young rip Hamilton or stack did.... stop making dumb arguments

and with the 8 3's on wide open looks.

He is overrated. Hes telling a damn lie. Kobe didnt score 55 on Jordan. They didnt guard each other that game he hit 55 on the Wizards.

Sally is a bullshitter that knows nothing

rayleigh8 Thank you!!! Every time I see him on Vlad it’s always some straight BULL shit! This mans words are pure shit!

Why you can't believe salley

Sure did call Jordan the goat here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_0nYOZ7jhmE.html

Jordan used to always talk about dr j

!!!!!!!!!

Fake love

He in the discussion thou

People still say Jordan was the best ever, so don't know what you're saying. He was just great period.

@Aaron9 lay off crack 😂😂

jason hearn Good for you. Folks are crazy. Kobe and Lebron are great, legendary. But not even them two compare to MJ just by the 90s’ alone. In the 90s’ he became peerless. Kobe and Lebron have peers in their time or should I say in their most dominant decade.

Anthony thomas Peace! Kobe has Tim Duncan as a peer. Who’s the best power forward of all time he’s arguably that. Also Kobe had Shaq early in his career which got him three championships

Anthony thomas Bro I can’t this stuff anymore. You peers are not just guys who played you position tho. Haha

Lebron said A.I was his favorite player

@@flameupwithty2033 He said Mike and Iverson were....bleacherreport.com/articles/1811820-lebron-james-says-michael-jordan-and-allen-iverson-were-favorite-players-ever

Ima believe John thanks

@@strangemachines_ or you can google and do some research and believe the words right out of Lebron James's mouth.

@@flameupwithty2033 "AI was like my second favorite player growing up, after MJ." Quoted by Lebron James

Jordan at that time in his career had zero chance of holding Kobe. Just like any player in their mid or upper thirties wouldn't. It's not running away, its common sense. You can't do it like that anymore. People will get on Lebron for not guarding Kawai when it doesn't make sense. One player is around 27 and the other is 35 with close to the most minutes ever played.

If Jordan was guarding Kobe he would have scored 70. Jordan was well pass his prime & would have absolutely zero chance of guarding Kobe at that stage in their careers

@Wize One yes he would have and we all know this

So Jordan didn't want no smoke.

Wize One A 41-year-old Jordan would be able to hold Kobe who was half his age??

its obvious he doesnt like mj, maybe mj doesnt like him as a teammate

Facts

Same way y’all do players that you aren’t a fan of. Everyone is guilty of it to an extent.

@@Maal7432 I have no knowledge of these guys other than media.. I have no reason to get that deep into them. I live in the real world.They are wealthy and treated like royalty. I can only get in depth about the concerns in my own life. Lol

I bet. Mike used to bust. the Pistons ass😂😂😂

Not without pippen and the greatest coach of all time Phil jackson

@@truuff and micheal trainer

@@truuff And the year the Bulls won 72 games, they added two new expansion teams the Raptors and the Grizzlies lol.

Nah...Jordan.came back and lost to the Orlando Magic

@@truuff oh same with Kobe he wouldn't of won shit without Phil either hmmm maybe that's y it's a team sport huh

Stonewall Jackson so??? Didn’t you just hear 2 weeks before Jordan beat Kobe?

Stonewall Jackson Jordan beat Kobe in a game 2 weeks before and slapped Kobe in the butt and said “you can wear the shoes but you can never fill them” Kobe went mamba and the rest is history. Put 55 up against the wizards and adios to Jordan into retirement

Jordan was past his prime but a past his prime Jordan was still better than 70% of the league back then so hitting him with 55 was a big deal, Mike was his idol after all.

I say that as someone who watched Mike when he was NC so I consider him the GOAT

Chris Ventura doesn’t matter. Jordan shouldn’t be talking shit if he’s “to old” as u say. Yall just gotta accept the fact Kobe dropped 55 on Jordan and he was shying away from guarding him bc he knew he couldn’t handle him.

ch1kmagnet it is idk where dude getting his info

Rite🤦🏿‍♂️ wtf he talm bout mfs wanna be right so bad dey start stretching the truth.

Lebron did mention Dr. J as one of his favorite players before but i also agree with y’all he stretched it

He had many favorites. But he said he grew his afro out in high school to be like Kobe. And Kobe gave him a pair of his shoes too back then. They were a size too small but he still wore them in a game lol. He loved MJ, Iverson, Penny, Magic, and Kobe.

Correct!

Real Jordan fans know.

💯💯💯💯

He respects all players before him ! He’s never said he didn’t like dr j ... and even tho dr j said some salty shit about Jordan , jordan stayed professional!

Dj Boz ....and Walter Davis, another Tarheel! I

Nobody would cuz they had 3 perimeter lockdown defenders on that early 90s team. And the rules changed so you could more points.

Yes he would've. It might've taken more shots to get it but MJ wouldn't have stopped Kobe scoring 55. Great scorers score, great defenders don't stop great scorers they just make it harder for them to score. #KnowTheGame

Still scored 55 on his ass for talking all that shit. #RIPKobe the Greatest.

Kobe would score 60 on any player in any era in any time/prime of their career.... jordan would too... defense cannot stop the level of offense that jordan and kobe had. Ur statement shows u know little about basketball...smh

@78mfleet Born in 82 and huge NBA fan that watched both players in their prime. All these replies i still stand by my original comment. Thats y i started my comment with "no disrespect to Kobe" bc i knew ppl would replying based on emotion and they feel they need to defend Kobe at this time. RIP Momba!

after an embarrassing 2011 finals performance by lebron cry baby

@m Khan and it worked when many retired without a ring

Faxxxxzzz!!!💯💯

U mean dame or kyrie?

Lol LeBron aint learn shit from Kobe…..if he did he would have been posting up in 2009

😏 I know right?

He's a comedian.

Like every street dude bullshitting on the block. 😂

Dr j

Thompson. Mj has said this many times

John just like to talk shit like nikki cannon an gaylord jamar

@J Dolo larry Jordan was a monster thats who influenced Jordan style

@@mysterion5136 Yep. VERY well-chronicled that David Thompson was Jordan's "hero" growing up. Jordan asked Thompson to usher him in at his HOF speech, so that should tell people something about what he thought of Thompson.

@Father Noel Type in K-os rise like the sun gadget video version. So dope 1996.

K-OS Blacked out on that Superstar Pt 2

By saying dr j is better etc etc when clearly they where not better is why ppl call him a hater.

Greazy would have been even worse if Jordan was guarding him that night. No one on the planet would have stopped Kobe that night

Yeah u right jordan wasn't sticking him the whole game

Greazy don’t matter any hooper knows if they have a big night it was against every player on that team , hence scored 55 on Jordan . Jordan was the best player on that wizards team . I kno stack was in his prime but Jordan was the best player

Instagramchampange I agree

Mannn please! Don't cape for mj because when it's anyone else you shame them.you say Jalen got 81 dropped on him when it was really on 18.you say lbj got burnt by Jason Terry when Terry was mainly guarded by dwade and never scored more than 30 yet when it comes to mj you guys wanna claim it didn't happen.well stack was a SF and mj was a SG...Kobe was supposed to be his assignment so if mj stood around and let stack get burnt than that's even worst since he was supposed to be the best on the team 🤣🤣 these Jordan Stan's are literally hitting a all time low now

Reno Brown tell em!

He still got his ass busted tho so whats yo point??

He was 38 but close enough lol

@Fact Check if you an hooper once you lace them up no excuses and if Ali was dumb enough to fight tyson he deserved death in the ring you ole heads/jordan stans always have an excuse for dude he got his ass bust get over it chief 😂✌

That's true, Micheal should have been retired though. 1993-1996 Micheal was a complete different player.

Yeah, it makes sense. That's why, to me, Jordan is the goat. I grew up watching him. Idolized him. LeBron is a little younger than me, but is my generation.

steezli wow let me guess u never heard that in ur life u til u just copied every other person in the comments

David Thompson, I've also heard Walter Davis.

@@neglakay4373 yup Jordan loved David Thompson and copied Walter Davis pull up jumper. The only reason he went to UNC is because his mom loved Phil Ford

I heard Michael say once that Bill Russell was the greatest basketball player

Facts

🤣🤣😭

Why u say that

Wendell Batista Salley smoking that good shit 🤣😂🤣😂😂

But he wasn't Kobe he was the second best Michael Jordan

Not true. Kobe was giving Jordan buckets when Jordan played with the bulls. Do your research bruh

Deshawn B and imagine if they’re both in their primes. People act like mj would just straight up dominate Kobe like Kobe isn’t a all around killer.

Markus Elliott yea I laugh at ppl who say stuff like Jordan would dominate Kobe. I don’t even consider their input.

@@thatbastardtony9445 I watched both players play in their prime. I know what 23 is all about and Kobe base his game on game on that. Switch roles. Jordan would have 10+ championships with Lakers, Kobe woulda left bulls 3rd-4th yr. #facts Kobe and Mike played after 23 put in 15 yrs and in 98. CHAMPS 😂 do your math children. And eat yur Wheaties if you wanna be like Mike.

?

Jordan said before his HOF speech that Dr.J was his favorite player. He flip flopped.

Yep...rip hamilton aint stopping anyone.. Tracy McGrady Vince Carter Kobe Bryant all lit up the Wizards..

Mr. J1S he sayin. He dropped 50 on his team. And Michael Jordan was known as a team player. as the front.

@Movies&&Highlights!!! only highlights was misspelled. That's 1 word

Rip Kobe Gigi and the rest of the families who lost their Mumba mentality thanks for the memories (G.o.a.t)

why cant they just say that he lit up the Wizards? He didnt score any on jordan and Jordan didnt score on him either because they didnt guard each other that game. These fools are wack as hell for lying like that.

I did research. MJ was a SF at this point. Kobe was clearly leading the offense in the frontcourt. There are a ton of disingenuous videos like this. Just title it, Kobe lights up Wizards after MJ calls him out.
