Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant looked up to Michael Jordan like so many others, but in a new documentary, we learn from his teammates just how obsessed he was.
Though many still believe Jordan to be the best player in NBA history, Bryant has been brought up in that conversation.
Kobe Bryant talks with Michael Jordan during the NBA All-Star Game at the Phillips Arena on Feb. 9, 2003, in Atlanta, Georgia. In 20 NBA seasons, Bryant collected 18 All-Star Game bids, including 17 straight from 1999 to his final year in 2015. He’s a five-time NBA champion with the Lakers, 15-time All-NBA selection, the 2007-08 MVP, two-time Finals MVP and two-time scoring champion, just to name a few accolades.
However, Jordan has Bryant beat by one ring, never losing in an NBA Finals series over his career. Jordan was also MVP of the league five times to Bryant’s one, though Bryant has him beat in All-NBA nods . There’s no doubting the similarities in their game play, though, as Van Exel pointed out the mannerism even being the same let alone the moves on the court. Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant and Bulls guard Michael Jordan during a free-throw attempt at the United Center in Chicago, Dec.
Jordan would speak at Bryant’s memorial in Los Angeles following his death and the death of his daughter, Gianna, in a helicopter accident. "In the game of basketball, in life as a parent, Kobe left nothing in the tank. He left it all on the floor. Maybe it surprised people that Kobe and I were very close friends. But we were very close friends. Kobe was my dear friend, he was like a little brother. Everyone always wanted to talk about the comparison between he and I.
