Michael Jordan on Kobe: "It was almost like looking in a mirror"

[eliteballer]

He was going to come after me. And I told everybody, I said, “Look, I know this young kid is going to come at me from L.A., he’s gonna come at me—and I’m not going to hold back.” So in that sense, I feel like I got to protect something. Sure enough, in the game, it was that competition. It was almost like looking in a mirror, in a sense, that, you know—why would I want to play anything less? Why would I want to play anyone less? I want to go at someone who I feel like I respect and I want to challenge.

Dude this was like 25 years ago. And I assume you’ve made this thread many many times. Let it go. Kobe wouldn’t want this.
