We all saw the short too

@@hungda69dy35 LMAO!!!!!

Jordan 7s*

That made him not speak to no one for two whole weeks bruh??!!??😂😂😂😂😂

Well, Jordan was correct. Kobe never filled them.

Stop bringing lebron into a Kobe/MJ video...

UnchartedCrafter hes just saying.. get off your period

Nick Lee It just shows how fearful MJ/Kobe fans are of LeBron.

Nick Lee Naw i am a don't even like Lebron's game but he is right. This has zero to do with him

Darude - Sandstorm

damn i hope there is a good quality pic of that somewhere

Cold af

LeBron almost always beat Kobe.

Say something as idiotic as that trying to minimize with Kobe Bryant put on Michael Jordan people need to give Kobe Bryant his full respect even at his advanced age Kobe Bryant was the only one who did Mike like that the only one

Kobe the greatest of all time

If you're any decent at basketball or shooting for that matter.. You'd know that it's not imperative to look at the rim before you shoot. Your body feels were you are and squares up automatically

Oh heck naw. He is the closest to Jordan gerizzyYMcrew

Silky Sam Closest to MJ is more I like it. I'm a Laker fan but it irks me when people claim that Kobe is the greatest.

gerizzyYMcrew you still hate with a passion?Kobe not top 50?oh yeah its obvious no one should take you serious in any basketball discussions.You are a great hater.....I give you that!!!

Because Mike career high against the lakers is 54

because T-mac outplayed him and KG had a historically great season

zak south what the heck are you talking about? KG did not outplay him he neither did tmac he averaged a little more but kobe was playing at a higher level took the lakers who had a slow start to the playoffs and broke jordans record.

robbereal1982 oh is that right? then do you mind telling me how kobe finished fifth in the MVP voting that year, behind peka stojacavic?

robbereal1982 KG was second in the NBA in scoring, first in rebounds, first in blocked shots, PLUS 5 assists a game?? yeah. KG by far outplayed Kobe that specific year. im a huge Kobe fan but I'm also fair and realistic. KG deserved it.

Zack Southerland You're talking about 03-04. This game was in 02-03 which is the season that these other two guys are alluding to. Kobe deserved serious consideration for MVP that season. He finished 3rd after Duncan and KG.

Not lebron play boy and I am a kobe fan. Lebron is the best player of all time.

Haha Lebron is the worst iso player of all time

um kobe shit on u cause ur on his nuts.. and he wouldn't beat mike... come on cous....

Even jordan says Kobe might beat him lol

Michael Papamarkou He said Kobe steals his moves...

He wouldn't have

Les .Desperado then why he won 2 more without shaq then lame

Les .Desperado dumb comment smh Kobe was scoring 30 points in the playoffs in 2001 n 2002 leading them to their finals, n yea shaq won mvp finals but Kobe lead that team to the finals period, n who had the ball in the clutch moments of each game Kobe, Shaq wouldn't have won without Kobe, they both needed each other to win but Shaq wouldn't have won without Kobe

Demetrius Lykes Another shit stain comment. Kobe averaged 29.4 ppg in the 2001 playoff's. Shaq averaged 30.4......... and then you go on to prove my point after trying to argue with me.....

hahah funny I'm talking about the average leading up to the finals before the finals Kobe was averaging 30.5 and he was the one leading the Lakers to victories down the stretch especially game 3 n game 4 in the Kings series and the Spurs series where he dominated that series

Most missed shots in nba history annnnnd counting. Thats why.

Shoot less? Are you trying to be stupid or what?

***** He was, now he isn't. If he wants that 6th ring he better play MUCH better (shoot less, distribute more)

dam straight

Now he’s not here with us 😭😭😭

Jordan really excelled because he was playing against unskilled bums. Guys barely dribbled the ball between there legs or behind there back. Basketball was super technical in Jordan’s ever and he was like a Prophet because everything he did was unconventional. Kobe is better to me, because he excelled in a league that modified with its players. Kobe had way tougher competition, skill wise and team wise. Just go watch all playoff games from the 90’s and compare them to what you know and see now, even the 2000’s. Basketball is really totally different.

lol Reggie was hatin BIG time wasnt he smh haha

Cap.

Mj did have a great game here tho , not quite kobes on the day

Funny thing. The most Kobe scored against LeBron was 38 points. He dropped 42 here in a half, 55 highest against MJ. LeBron highest score against Kobe was 41.

Kobe was already the 1st option here

LeBron can shoot 3s now quit thinking of how he was years ago.

Kobe is the king of bricks

If that's the case, #24 Kobe is something far worse.

Box score in the description

***** Does not.

He lost "his prime" when he got injured. Kobe may have had that 6th ring had he not got injured that 2013 season, he was playing like he really wanted it. Plus as much as I and laker fans hate Dwight, you'd have to admit the man would've been stepping up in the playoffs especially if there was a healthy Bryant

T-mac put up 32+ that year

Yeah they weren't guarding each other but that doesn't mean they weren't going against each other. Two different meanings.

***** Then stop saying these stupid s**t about "Kobe scoring 42 against Michael" when not even 1 point out of the 42 was scored under the defense of Michael.

Siyuan Geng I just explained why I titled it like that. If anything Kobe would have scored even more than he already did if a 40 year old was trying to guard him.

gerizzyYMcrew You've convinced me to believe that you don't leave your house. I'm not wasting my time with you.

***** Please watch the whole game before you say that. There were 5 match-ups between Kobe and Michael in this game: stolen by Michael once, charged by Kobe twice, Kobe shooting off the hoop twice. But considering you are a huge fan of Kobe, I wouldn't force you to admit that your hero is any less than other people. Thanks for the video though.

Mike was better than Kobe in his last year

once again..? how old is Jordan in this matchup and how old is Kobe..? Kobe will never EVER be as good as Jordan, neither will Lebron or Durant or any other scrub unless they get 2 3 peats with 6 finals MVPs

Vladi48mir kobe has done twice as much as jordan with half the talent around him. kobe plays in a much stronger league. if jordan played today, he'd average about 13 points a game. Kobe would average 50 points a game back in the 80s

Pill Box BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LAWWWWL remind me how winning 5 championships with only 2 finals MVPs is doing twice as much as 6 championships with 6 finals MVPs..? much Stronger League...? tell me how having 3 seconds in the key rule and handchecking fouls counted accounts for a stronger league..? how many Hall Of Fame level big men did Kobe go up against..? 4-5..? If Jordan played today he would average 13..? and Kobe in the 80s would average 50..?WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMOKING ON ..? you better be a troll faggot hahahaha all you did was make me fall off my seat laughing at your stupidity.

***** The fuck..? Kobe wasn't even in the League when Jordan was in his prime.

2002.

Jonathan Cruz I thought it was 01?

It says 2002 in the video dumbass

Oh I didn't see it my bad

2003 kobes last game vs michael

First of all, Gilbert Arenas & Jeremy Lin just happened to have the game of their lives; Kobe didn’t guard either Arenas or Lin the entire duration of those games, but he never made an excuse, he accepted the fact they had a better performance than him. This game was significant because it was the last time Kobe & MJ matched up, which is why most people remember this double-nickel performance.

You're right if you look at MJ in a picture with the bulls compared to a picture with the wizards MJ has a huge built with the wizards compared to him with the bulls, I mean look how big his chest is in this video

weight most definitely does not kill, and in many situations such as the low post it is a huge advantage. Just look at Lebron James.

Correct.

zak south LBJ is muscle MJ was fat

Hero Miles k you're forgetting some important stats FT%: Kobe 3PT%: Kobe Game winners: Kobe Career High: Kobe shooting ability: Kobe

Alig4realz It doesn't count if the percentage is less than 1%. Scoring 81 points in a meaningless regular season game means nothing, especially if it was from hogging. But if you want to do a real comparison, let's do it this for games that matter: Playoffs: FT%: Jordan 3PT%: Jordan Career High: Jordan Game Winners: Jordan Shooting Ability: Jordan (Kobe is a brick. There's no way he wins here) If you do a direct comparison, Jordan beats Kobe every time.

***** Uhh Who was Dennis Rodman? Who was Scottie Pippen? MJ wouldn't have won shit with out em Every Superstar need needs a Sidekick put it that way.... Look at LBJ

Jordan ain't have the balls to D up Kobe and get embarrased

Jordan was 40. The only statement that was made was "You Old". Kobe should be ashamed of himself. The funny thing though is that Jordan wasn't even guarding Kobe in this game.

Yeah, better at flopping and crying back to the cavs.

dum fuck

LeBron has more finals loasses than Bryant and Jordan combined.btw no final loss to jordan
