The guy was ready to go at 16. Really don't understand how people can compare LeJoke with Kobe.

The video's impressive, check it out.

YouTube - Kobe Bryant doing work dropping 43 at Midnight Madness '94 (old school footage)

 

Awesome video. I agree none of today's players can compare, and the second greatest player ever.

 

Kobe is my man bar none, but I can honestly understand how LeBron can compare.....LeBron is in there with Jordan and Bryant...one of those guys who is just amazing to watch and has talent above and beyond his opposition.

 

Kobe is unreal - but I think LeBron and DWade are on the same level, and have the ability to be even better over the next few years.

That comment has nothing to do with them being on the same team. I wish they weren't on the same team, but there's nothing I can do about it!

 

Lbj is a physical freak... Kinda like Shaq. As far as skills go, Kobe's got him beat in spades... and were not even talking about clutch factor and fearlessness.

I agree, the man is a physical specimen. If he stays hungry and begins to show that he has the work ethic of a Jordan, Magic, Bird or Bryant then he might be in the same conversation at some point... for right now both you and I have just as many rings as he does

 

Sorry buddy, totally disagree Neither of those two have been at the top of their game as long as Kobe has. Kobe has been the measuring stick to witch all players are measured for the last decade and he will cement his legacy as one of the top 3 plays of all-time after he disposes Dwhistle and his marry men.

Actually... I don't even think the Heat will in the Finals this year. I'm picking the celts to beat the Heat and make to the finals.

 

I don't put wade up there, but I do Lebron...that said....he's still got a LONG career ahead of him


and I also don't think the heat will make the finals....you know me...i'm a laker boy true and true. But will give respect to others

 

LeBron is not on Kobe's level. Kobe has the will and desire to win, he is also the very best when it comes to being "clutch", 99% of the time he comes thru, you cannot say that about James, Wade or anyone else in the league. Has nothing to do with what team you are on, Kobe is the real deal just as Jordan was. He has that desire

 

Nike needs to use this footage for a commercial. Just watching this over again, the moves he's making are all a huge part of his game today... just more refined. It'd be a cool commercial going between the old footage and his NBA career up till now.
