How EPIC is this picture?

[9erempiree]

Great picture and great photo work capturing the two greatest players of all time. I need to order this. One day I can tell people that these are the two greatest players of all time. Put their names in a hat and the name that comes up is the GOAT.

One guy is an athletic specimen with less skill, huge vertical and hands.

The other is more skilled and super athletic ability.

I like it. The photo work blends correctly and accurately. I think it would be a cool portrait for any fan that wants to put in his office or den.

[NLZ]

It's amazing how similar they are.... everything about them practically.

[9erempiree]

It also leaves to the imagination of what that play could have been......

I'm thinking either Kobe stopping and pulling up for a jumper.

Stops and crosses MJ while his momentum takes him past Kobe.

Kobe taking it straight to the hoop for a dunk.

Spin move pull up jumper.

yea.

Look at the leg muscles and the build up of his physical frame. Strong shoulders and legs meant for leaping.

MJ is not too shabby either. Almost perfect build for playing basketball.

That was actually one of my favorite all star games of all time. While MJ won the MVP, the talk of NYC was the emergence of Kobe Bryant.

I will find his highlights of that game. Definitely stole the show. You should pick another game besides that game.

even the skull is aerodynamically elongated for reduced air resistance

[Budadiiii]

MJ is the most aesthetic athlete of all time. Kobe looks normal compared to god himself.

[HardwoodLegend]

Kobe's legs are actually quite unimpressive. Not as chiseled as you would think at that age. MJ clearly had less body fat. More sinewy definition.

It's a cool pic though.

Then you remember it wrong. Kobe was visibly nervous and anxious going against an MJ determined to show up the young buck.

Which he did ... even causing Kobe's big brother teammate, Shaq to goal tend an MJ shot after Jordan put the moves on young Bryant in the post.

Kobe at one point tried crossing up MJ, yet it didn't have any effect what so ever. Bean had a few nice dunks, but the talk of the weekend was MJ, per usual.

[ThaRegul8r]

One could've simply said they thought it was an epic picture, between two of the greatest players ever to play the game even, without using the opportunity to push an agenda.

Wait a minute, this is InsideHoops. What am I thinking? Silly me.

:facepalm

You were obvious too young to remember. The talk of the town was Kobe and they even did an entire pre game show about Kobe. MJ, insecure as he was, even said he hasn't gone anywhere yet.

Enjoy the video....just positive rep me in the future for correcting you now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmDDnX8mqdY

It was a Kobe love fest during MJ's last game.

[9erempiree]

LOL kid, the entire weekend was about MJ being MSG and about his last go around in the All Star Game.

MJ was definitely prepared to show up the hyped up HS kid.

And the hell are you talking about? Kobe featured a "freeze out" that was akin to what MJ faced early in his career w/ Isiah. GP and many others didn't like the fact that fans voted in the hyped up 6th man. Who at that time wasn't necessarily deserving.

Stern was begging MJ to stay around when he received the MVP trophy. And we all know those turn around fadeaways and up and unders that had Kobe in knots trying to defend him.

Oh, and 6>5

:pimp:

Like I mentioned too young to remember. Which happens to all of us as we age.

I remembered that game perfectly and that game was pretty much changing of the guard. You got MJ, Malone and Payton and then you got the emerging young guys that basically stole the show.

All the highlights from that 98 came from Garnett, Kobe and Shaq. It wasn't one of MJ's most remarkable games even though he won MVP.

They already knew it could be MJ's last game. They let him do his thing while the younger players were entertaining the New Yorkers

3 plays come to mind from that game and the game is remembered for it....Kobe 360 dunk, KG to Kobe alleyoop and behind the back hook shot from Kobe. All iconic moments from that game.

LMAO @ "entire pre game show about Kobe" ... they do features on ALL the players practically. No big deal.

MJ was definitely prepared to show up the hyped up HS kid. And he did exactly that ... still competitive even on his last legs as a 35 year old, going up against a kid half his age.

Kobe's very first words in the video "I'm nervous" haha ... clown.

Kobe had some nice dunks, like I said. The game and weekend belonged to MJ. Clearly. Especially when MJ's points were coming on Kobe, the young gun. Putting Kobe in the BLENDER on three separate plays.

You are not comprehending what I'm saying.

I said Kobe basically stole the show. The weekend was about it being MJ's last all star. Every time it was talked about as his last game and the heir apparent was Kobe. It was hyped up as Kobe taking the throne and he did not disappoint.

The fans walked away saying, wow!...we are in good hands with the emerging Bryant.

Totally forgot about MJ.

Stole the show after those highlights.

Nobody forgot about MJ but that weekend the New Yorkers didn't really care. This was half way through the season and people expected MJ to not comeback and actually retire.

They were already trying to find the heir apparent. All eyes were on young Bryant and not old MJ.

But you've got to marvel at Kobe man, back then he's raw as a fresh meat. + If your gonna get schooled, might as well be by the greatest. :pimp:

[KOBE143]

Teenage Young Kobe against Prime MJ.. That would be epic, a dream match for everyone.. This would be close but I'll go with Kobe.. Maybe if MJ got lucky, he would steal 1 game out of 5 tries..

It was the first lockout in the history of modern day basketball. It was the last year of the decade and people were pretty much sick of the high paid players.

Every sport that's been through a lockout will get lower ratings. Last year the ratings were pretty low too.

Jordan would kill himself honorably, like a samurai, before he shot Kobe Bryant's FG%. Old MJ shot the ball as efficiently as prime Kobe I bet.

Space Jam was that good, a classic. Should've been up for some Oscars. Shame it got snubbed for best actor, best supporting actor (Bugs n Lola), and best picture. It's the academy and their jewish / homo loving agenda.

Athletes commenting on social issues has never made a difference.

I don't see Kobe chiming in on political or social issues, either. Which is a good thing. Who needs jocks opinions on that type of stuff? As if they're going to make a difference.

Just sell hot shoes Mike, be the most entertaining hooper ever, and dominate that's all we wanted. That's all we needed, and what we got. Best ever.

Kobe is very active in his fight against homelessness.

I agree that athletes' voices aren't really needed though. Actors barely even make a dent with their efforts.

[Money 23]

Kobe is very active in his fight against homelessness.
How are you going to bring that up and not bring up MJ's social activities? The Jordan foundation, etc. Nash does all kinds of charitable things, too. As does Shaq.

They all do positive stuff with their money. It's encouraged by the league itself.

Kobe, Jordan, LeBron, Wade, no one is doing any TRUE fights against injustice or social movements akin to say Muhammed Ali or Jim Brown.

Like I said, jock's voices on these issues aren't necessary. Think about Monta Ellis trying to educate his opinion on a world topic.

there's a difference between knowing stats and what MJ stans do. they preach gospel of Mike like he's the living buddah. They are cherishing and living the myth more than the real man.

kobe doesn't need to chirp about social issues cause he lives the life. He does a ton for the homeless in LA and charitable work. He lives a clean, healthy lifestyle, with good family values while being a good father, son, and husband. he's model of what young black man should strive to be.

Not like Mike.

What I gave you was fairly simple and MAJOR accomplishments. I didn't need to go in depth showing all the superior playoff performance stats, career averages that all trump Kobe's numbers.

And those tangible awards aren't myth. They're facts. :facepalm

Bwahahaha

On the surface. Behind close doors like ANY other athlete he's cheating on his wife, etc.

That's why his demonic, skank of a wife left him. Everyone in LA hated that chick. She is literally one of the original money grubbing whores. She was a BACKUP dancer. How do you think she got that gig?

Kobe's worked damn hard on his public image after being accused of rape. He's gone to hell and high waters to publicly convince people, so he could get his endorsement deals back. Learn the game, son. The contrived nature of it has been commented on numerous times before.

MJ helped homeless, underprivileged kids, developed charitable foundations for at risk youth. He literally would meet with a group of kids on the terrible west side of Chicago, right by the old stadium (where it is nothing but ghetto) and would check up on a group of kids, and their grades after every game.

Would randomly stop and shoot hoops with kids too. MJ was VERY charitable. Don't confuse him selling shoes, and developing Nike SINGLE HANDEDLY into the global conglomerate it is today, with him not caring about less fortunate.

Before you fly off and talk crap, do your research first. I bet you and your cronies (Alpha, Alborx, Immortld24, Jacks3) wish you were Kate Faber.

Pathetic. :oldlol:

MJ donated his two Wizard contracts in their ENTIRETY to the 9/11 victims families fund. That right there is like 3 or 4 million dollars.

MJ was a great humanitarian. Just because he remained PC while being a businessman and didn't tackle social issues in interviews doesn't mean he didn't care. Why would he alienate himself like that anyway? Kobe doesn't do that, LeBron doesn't do that, hell ... Magic and Bird didn't do that, either.
