I've always thought Kobe was second to Jordan. He's stone cold and so clutch. The only guy I'd want taking the last shot more than Kobe is Jordan, and even then it is close. Kobe is unreal good.
This... may be the most insanely awesome comparison video I've ever seen.
I can't even imagine the amount of time it would take to find all that stuff.
Somebody, somewhere - must have one incredible basketball history memory.
Wowzers, seriously pretty awesome!!!
Kobe has long been the best comparable for "Next Jordan". Although I don't think Kobe was ever quite as good at least part of that is because MJ came first. This was really cool but it doesn't surprise me at all that they'd have similar looking plays. Kobe modelled his game after Jordan. They were two amazing athletes with virtually the same build so naturally Kobe would emulate the smoothness with which Jordan played the game. Also, it just makes sense that given what a ludicrous athlete they both are that they would simply move the same way on the court because it's the most efficient way that a lanky 6'6" human being could move. You won't find a better shooting guard. These two are the pinnacle.
Really cool video, enjoyed it, but you could make the exact same video with Lebron or Durant doing the same moves.
I think given 3-4 seasons of footage, most of the elite talented guards will have all replicated the same moves on many occasions. All it takes is someone with a lot of time on their hands to find it.
