During the same Michael Jordan Flight School camp where Jordan declared he would beat Lebron James one-on-one in his prime, he was also asked about Kobe Bryant during the Q&A. Like LeBron, Kobe has also garnered comparisons to Jordan but many people consider them to more similar because of their attitudes and killer instincts. It’s also been documented how many of Bryant’s moves are the same as Jordan’s which Kobe hasn’t denied. Jordan also pointed it out but also maintained that he loves Bryant.
Q: What kind of advice would I give Kobe Bryant?
[Uncomfortable laughter in the crowd.]
A: “Actually, Kobe and I are good friends. I like Kobe, we talk a lot, I hope he comes back healthy. I think he’s one of the great players of the game, I think he’s done a lot for the game, and he has a true love for the game of basketball. I absolutely have high regard for Kobe Bryant.
“Even though he stole all my moves, but that’s OK. I still love him like a brother.”
