MJ is a big brother to Kobe
Thank you Stephen A for staying on subject, why don’t dude feel the need to bring up LeBron🤷🏾♂️
I had that feeling that MJ will present Kobe…
why the this fool has to mention lebron james his not even close to MJ nor Kobe
M.J. respected kobe. He was him in his prime. I think Mike loves the fact that Kobe used his game to win 5 championships. Black Mamba forever….R.I.P.
Kobe wasn’t playing when he said he will eat mj up on the court. Mj the greatest but my dawg mamba dnt play with that guy
Kobe Bean Bryant everyone.
"Vanesser"
Sometimes i dream,
that he is me
You’ve got to see that’s how I dream to be
I dream I move, I dream I groove
Man this Max Kellerman bronsexual made it look like Lebron is the main topic. What a doofus. Like he said, jumped 2 inches when he was a kid, I doubt this clown can play bball, his opinions about the NBA shouldn’t be taken seriously.
The GOAT never comes out of his cave except for moments like this.
“Little Laker boy” MJ
Ironically MJ loved the kid from the beginning to the end
Goat inducting another Goat Fantastic !!!
My laker lore list:
1 Kareem
2 Magic
3 Shaq
4 Wilt
5 Kobe 🙁
6 West
7 Worthy
8 Cooper
9 Baylor
10 Horry/Fisher
Personal favorite on this list is Kobe been to all five parades. Getting ONLY 1 mvp award is downright criminal !!!
Im mystified how Kobe isn’t in the GOAT convo…i have LeBron ranked #5
It’s too bad Kobe won’t be here. Was really looking forward to celebrating this during his career. Now that he’s gone it just…. I don’t even know.
"I don’t get 5 championships here without him" – Kobe’s comment about Michael Jordan 🐐 in the Last Dance Documentary
The same drunk Michael Jordan who gave his infamous 2009 drunken induction speech. Hopefully Jordan won’t make inducting Kobe about him. It’s Kobe’s moment
its hurts not only because he was part of our childhoods but because he worked so hard this man deserved to live for eternity
There needs to be a special seat in the Lakers stadium for Kobe and his family at least one seat in the stadium for Kobe
Would have liked Phil.more, he coached both
Been reading kobe Bryant’s book all week and kobe didn’t séem to be a real good person.
Los Angeles, we all missed Kobe. Lebron can kick rocks we don’t want him, he’s not a pure laker.
I was able to watch both in their prime and im also a fan of both. Jordan was and will forever be the best basketball player I’ve ever seen period!
Only the Goat can induct same species…
Fake death. Kobe is alive
I teared up just watching this. I will never get over this. Smh,never felt hurt off a person i didnt know personally! Thats how great he was!!
Kobe is born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon🎼🎵🎶
You guys disrespect kobe EVERY time you call lebron the goat, y’all know that right
I really wish Joe Bryant could’ve gotten the nod, just to right a wrong for him and both families!
KOBE was on his way to the TOP after 🏀 💯🙏🏾
Really appreciate Michael Jordan being at Kobe Bryant Memorial last year and doing this in honor of him. One of the few players and people Michael Jordan respected and still respects admirable.
Nah MJ would of ate him up and spit him out.
Big Brother Jordan!! Bryant will always be the black mamba and its seems like yesterday watching KB playing. Rest up KB.
They didn’t ask Lebron again 🤣😂
Jordan gonna pass the GOAT title to Kobe
Thank you Steven a smith for the stories telling
Where’s his Dad lm sorry but not Michael Jordan
Max sit this one out.
Beautiful, it’s only right.
Of course it’d be MJ presenting. Whos else would be, a glorified finals loser like LeBron?
C’mon who always takes the last shot, DUH!!!
MJ The Undisputed G.O.A.T!!!!!!
Kobe!
You should not idolize men just enjoy their skill
It’s just fitting that the best presents the best.#23/24
While MJ fully makes sense as Kobe’s induction speaker; I think it is a bit of an overstatement to say that he’s the only choice that would work; for instance
Magic – former Laker icon, effusive personality, survivor of HIV, minority Dodgers owners
Lebron – current Laker icon, voice for social justice, defending champ
Kareem – Laker icon, great author, well spoken, strong advocate
Vanessa – wife, nobody could convey the emotional loss better than a spouse
Ha, ha, I bet bald @$$ Lebron is jealous.
The GOAT inducting another All Time great, Kobe was like Jordan in more ways than any player, offensive and defensive beasts.
NBA gave Lakers organization an honorary NBA title to remember Kobe and Gianna.. That’s it! That team just benefited wearing those uniforms with Lakers on it. Nah LeBron didn’t lead the Lakers to anything that NBA basically gifted.
Jordan’s so competitive, he’ll probably say that when his time comes, it’ll be a bigger deal
