will he always be looked as lil Jordan?
will he even be remembered at all?
The last two Laker's wins were basically thanx to Kobe. And Kobe made it happen in the 1st game. what his legacy be in the future? If gets more rings and more clutch games. where Kobe messed up, Lakers lost.

I don't know about that soccer player, but yeah Kobe has recently become jr. clutch. While Shaq and the rest of the Lakers keep them in the game for about 40 minutes, Kobe just takes over the last quarter and finishes them off.
Whether people want to admit it or not, he does have a little bit of MJ in him. Heck even Greg Popovich said that he had the determination of MJ. During yesterday's game Kobe made an awesome move and one of the announcers said "Who does that remind you of ????" hinting MJ.
Kobe is not MJ though, but if he continues to play like this he will always be compared to him.
-
damn man.. I wonder how it feels for Kobe to have the pressure of always being compared to MJ - must do ya fucking head in.. even though its a honour too.
-
kobe legacy will be remembered becouse he already have 2 rings and he's only 22 years old.

Kobe has said "I will be kobe and no one else will be Kobe" or something like that. Well basically I guess he knows that he wont be the next MJ he will be himself

Exactly... Kobe will go down as a legend no question about it... but the best ever, or the next Jordan... that wont be told until the next 5 years...

Yo homies......Kobe Bryant is 22, danmm!!!!
that stat is more mind boggling than anything else.....he's light years ahead of most player's already.
to compare a 22 year Jordan with Kobe, might seem lopsided aswell, because Jordan was not a team player back then.
and his shot didn't develope until after his flight was somewhat grounded after his knee injury.
And we all know if Bryant wanted to throw up every shot like Iverson he would easily lead the leauge in scoring...lol
I belive Bryant is on his way to make his own name....danmm!! he's only 22.
And he has a level head, not a fucc'n idiot like most NBA player's when it comes to attitude and speech.
(Most Player's make themself look stupid with their way of talk, even tho we all know the went to college, lol
what part of the game is that...lol)

I think Phil influenced Kobe alot in that aspect. West couldnt control Kobe, Magic Johnson couldnt, Del Harris couldnt, till Phil Jackson got there. Phil made kobe mature, IMO
-
i use to dispise kobe, but now i'm like man this dude is amazing, his maturity in such a short span is truly amazing, if he goes down for anything ....it's that
-
jordan also didnt have shaq on his team or Phil-J as his coach...
but anyways... Kobe is probably #3 in the league in clutch ... Jordan (he aint retired yet) and Reggie Miller (yeah thats right, Reggie Miller) are still ahead of him

after Phil Jackson took over the Bulls in the 1990 season, they were just one game away from goin to the FInals. IMO, the reason was cuz Phil told Jordan to be more of a team player. And thats what he did. I think he averaged 32 or around there , Phil's first year. But then his points got lowered cuz he took less shots and he established a 3 point shot. Thats why they went for a three peat. Same situation with Kobe, before Phil....KObe was shootin like crazy. Phil came in talked to Kobe and Kobe passed the ball more. and 2 rings came cuz of that. Thanx to Phil. Oh by the way...Jordan established his fade away shot in the mid 90s. Kobe already has his fade away developed not fully. all kobe need to work on badly is his 3 point shot. Sad to say but all the youngsters in the future will put Kobe infront of Jordan. But in my head i know Jordan is the better player. Kobe will never accomplish what Jordan did. like Defensive PLayer of the year. and other titles
-
^^ It all depends on if the league wants Kobe to get the defensive player of the year. In the 5 years Jordan won the award, there were always others who probably deserved it more, but it made him look better, and made David Stern more money cause of marketing. I would be very very surprised if Kobe wins less than 3 Def Player of the years, and 3 MVP's barring injury.

i have always liked the lakers but i didnt really like the dude at first he kind of got on my nerves cause he was a ball hog and always fucked shit up.....but now hes coming off strong i like him alot. he still gots lot to work on but i could totally see him becoming a legend and one of the most recognized players in the NBA ever. but they way i see the whole Jordan situation i have no doubt in my mind that Jordan is the greatest player to ever play the game. i believe kobe will make his own mark because i think trying to reach jordan is impossible (consider him in a secret location that no one can get to) but i see kobe making his own mark in someother area although i like kobe i doubt (but im not completely throwing it out) that kobe will ever be as great as Jordan but he is the closest yet and i think will be the closest.
