I wrote Mad Game about Kobe as a young guy. He had a balls-to-the-wall madness back then. He still rocks that. Tex+Phil had him sublimate it

At 19, Kobe told me he just wanted to "be the man." He scored 50 in a couple of high school games+longed to do it again+again.

Kobe was frustrated, tangled in Del Harris' web back then. Told me he knew he was going to be great, just had to figure out how to do it.

When Kobe was 19, I asked MJ about him. He just needs to figure out the math, MJ told me. I told Kobe. I can do that, he said. And he has.

Kobe's ultimate compe ion is MJ. That's why MJ watches him. MJ made people think what he was doing wasn't human. Ditto the Kobester.

I never said Kobe was better than MJ. MJ just told me Kobe's the only one to have done the work, to deserve comparison.

"I just wanted to make sure Kobe didn't dominate me." - Michael Jordan

"Kobe has patterned himself after Michael, and there are a lot of identical things there,” Jackson told the Los Angeles Times, “but it's one thing to hope to be like him, it's another thing to be like him."
"I'm with (ESPN's) Bill Simmons on this," he added. "We have to take Michael Jordan out of the equation. Stop comparing anyone to Michael Jordan. It's just not fair. He was remarkable. ...
"(Kobe) doesn't shoot the same percentage (.455) as Michael (.497). He has the same characteristics as Michael, but he's not the same player. It takes nothing away from him — he's a great player in his own right." - Phil Jackson
Kobe is as close as we will get to MJ until another SG steps up. That's the bottom line, the distance between MJ and Kobe is arguable, but the bottom line is that nobody is closer.
This I agree with.
Crawl Spursfan092120, crawl MFer!
LOL at Spursfan092120 posting a video of 85 year old MJ talking . Bryon Russell called him out after his HOF speech and MJ didn't stay true to his word. LOL at MJ being scurred of Bryon Russell.
The problem for Kobe is that the "math" doesn't work out... and that ship already sailed
what in the world? did someone say Kobe was the GOAT or something?
Wade played like MJ in the '06 finals. Not the same position, but when Magic retired in '92 he was considered better than MJ.
Also not the same position, but LeBron is on pace of getting closer to MJ's level than Kobe. Already was ROY right from hs! And 2 MVP's. His defense could land him an DPOY award too. And the Heat will win various championships.
James? Please.
He can't accomplish a goddamn thing. 8 years into the gd thing and he's searching for a game.
Keep in mind that MJ won his first championship after 8 seasons. He even cried. LeBron was twice in the finals already.

Even Kobe doesn't want to be compared to MJ.
