Tony Allen on Kobe: "He

[moe94]

Dude is not on Jordan's level at all

He piggy backed the fck out of jordan, as far as mimicking Jordan's on court gestures, besides every basketball move jordan coined. That screams insecurity to me.

He didn't create anything, he emulated and became the nba's new spotlight simply because jordan aged and was done. There was a spot that needed to be filled quickly since if there was no Kobe, the nba would of had a huge drop off in terms of excitement that a jordan caliber player/mindset brought to the game.

I like Kobe's footwork. Besides that, dude is a professional copy cat and low key psycho with an obsession for another man. Right place at the right time. Enter: Kobe Bryant

There were a ton of players who were labeled as next Jordans and had hype surrounding their ability and potential due to athletic promise. Only Kobe really managed to live up to the pressure. Even if he did design his game around Jordan, how is that bad and did it not work? Who better to mold your game after?

An argument can easily be made for Kobe being a greater basketball player than both Shaq and Duncan.

Not Lebron?

He crossed the line, it's one thing to have a role model but Kobe just blitzed mj's shit

Not saying kobe ain't good, I'm saying I don't give him his due because he's such a mimic. Dude talks like MJ, carries himself like MJ, does same gestures as MJ, he's like a weirdo clone

Agreed, he's far above it.

He isn't the greatest player since MJ. Just the ones hat most modeled his game after MJ. Duncan, Shaq, & LeBron are the greatest since MJ.

I have to disagree. None of those guys were remotely as dominant as Kobe except for maybe Shaq.

Lebron and Duncan aren't great one on one players either.

I thought Tony Allen was the closest thing to a modern day Jordan? Very humble.
