Last week Kobe Bryant spoke with students in a UC Santa Barbara psychology class. He not only trash talked former teammate Kwame Brown, he also spoke on which player he most wants to team up with and his relationship with Michael Jordan.
Check what Kobe had to say about MJ after the jump…

Kobe was asked specifically about surpassing Jordan’s achievements. He said that he can’t compare to Jordan because of how much he’s learned from the legend over the years:

“Of course, I want to win as many as I can so, by that alone, I’m chasing him,” Bryant said. “As long as I’m playing, I want to continue to win more. But it’s never been a direct competition between him and me though because he’s helped me a lot. He hates when I say it, but I’ll say it anyway: I call him and he calls me right back every time. We talk about things, that’s the kind of relationship we have. I’ve learned so much from him so we can’t have a debate about who is better. You know what I mean? He’s directly influenced me.”
