The proud face of Kobe, listening the emotional speech from MJ resume all this...

“I’ve always been like a big brother, you like a little brother. We communicate all the time.” I don’t think anyone took that seriously until the memorial. Now we all do.

I've been taking it seriously between them two when they were playing each other on the court

The soul of basketball reaching out to the heart of basketball.

I'm glad Kobe was one of the few people who got some of his roses while he was here. If you look at a lot of the things that people are saying about him after he passed. A lot of these people said the same things about him while he was still alive. So like his wife said at least he know he was loved

Rest In peace kobe Bryant and Gigi 🤦‍♀️😢⚰🙏

People don't realize how important Kobe is/was to the game of basketball. MJ was the biggest start in sports history, and they desperately needed someone to fill that void. Kobe came in and took the league by storm, truly amazing to watch. Rest well KB

It's official: he definitely was the mirror of Jordan

#23, #24..Kobe has modeled his game after Michael Jordan, Big Brother telling little brother, how great of player he was and that how much he respects Kobe and everything he has done. I love this from Michael, because everyone who knows Michael understands that respect is earned not given in the NBA. Micheal Jordan and Kobe Bryant top 5 players of all-time.

Kobe emulated the greatest... And became one of, if not, the greatest in his own right. RIP Mamba

RIP Kobe the REAL CLOSEST thing to MJ🙏🏽

RIP KOBE The son MJ always wanted

Dynasty intro crazy - mamba made that dynasty, died nasty RIP to the goat 🐐

these 2 Legends have a great respect for each other I love that!

I cried cried cried watching this. Its been a week and I'm still devastated

Wow, This was so Touching, who would have ever thought he would be gone so soon, R.I.P. Kobe Bryant and Daughter.

I didnt know this moment existed until now, and it means alot to me to see MJ give his praise and due recognition to Kobe Bryant the Black Mamba, truly 2 of the best players to ever put there hands on a basketball.

From one legend to another. Rip Kobe

I'm glad Kobe was around then to see Michael's appreciation for him .

I can't believe it ended this way for Kobe. The legend will live on in our memories.

Seeing this now hits me a lot differently. RIP to all passengers. :(

RIP Kobe epitome of a leader , single biggest impact on my life , the memories you’ve left will live forever .. He’ll always be with us in spirit

No 1 can ultimately copy the signature moves of Jordan only Kobe Bryant... ☺️

when they play againts each other was one of the greatest things ever in nba history ,sorry for you the young generation that miss all that

Omg for nearly 2 minutes I didn't realize this video was made when Kobe was still alive. I kept thinking MJ was speaking metaphorically when he said he was looking forward to seeing Kobe's next project (sent from heaven). I guess I should've paid attention to the date of the video.

little brother and big brother

Am gonna cry. First time watching this today. Farewell little brother.

I think i speak for a lot of ppl when i say Words cannot explain my pain. My condolences to his wife 3 other daughters and all his family #RIPKOBE

I’m born in 76 and am bien and raised in Chicago and didn’t really like Kobe when he came to the Lakers. It was cause I saw what we all saw, he was gonna give Jordan some competition and he did. It took a while but I began to like him and respect him, he had class, he acted like a professional, like a champ. He had what Jordan, my hero had. RIP champ! Wish the family the best thru these difficult times

Kobe Bryant will always be the Legend we knew now since he gone he will be remembered forever R.I.P Mamba Gigi and the lives lost !

Wow this is amazing, sad, awesome, so many emotions and hits different now. RIP Legend 🙏

Respect this two guys

I came back to watch this after Kobe has passed, still hurt. Rest well Kobe Bryant!!!!!

I wished Jordan could have been there and spoke those words to him personally and hugged him.it would have meant more cause Kobe really idolized him and it showed in his game not a bad man to idolize.
