They called him Kobe Jr. Back then. It's why you need large sample sizes.

The same amount of people that called LL Cool Jay "Big Elle" called him Kobe Jr

I remember MarShon being a bucket but goddamn some of these shots are ridiculous

I’ve never heard someone call Marshon Brooks Kobe Jr. EVER

Analytics phased these types of niggas out the league man

Him and Terrence Williams were nice, and I loved using them in 2k.

Is Marshon Brooks the next Kobe Bryant? - ESPN - NBA Draft Blog- ESPN

Young me thinking maybe just maybe Terrence Williams and Marshon Brooks would respectively turn into Magic Johnson lite and Kobe Bryant lite. "We just have to develop them" I still don't know what went wrong. They had the skills.

Nigga was a god on 2k 😂

Same situation with Cam Thomas. Unless you’re a superstar, volume high usage scorers don’t last.

Marshon was so cold bro. He just vanished from the nba

I swear I never knew or heard this til now but exactly. Gotta leave MJ, Kobe, Bron, etc comparisons alone. Look what Ben Simmons turned out to be.

Who tf called him that

Use to fuck wit his game heavy still don’t understand the short career

My go to 2k trade player. I have to have him on my team back then 🤣

Brooks is a product of the organization he was in if he was on a good team, he would’ve got national publicity. lowkey wish big 3 Celtics got him in 2011. Would’ve done better than Jeff Green @paulpierce34

Kobe did everything great n played above the rim so stop it dude no one is on Kobe’s level not even MJ‼️

not a soul & I mean NOT 1 SOUL ever called Marshawn Brooks “KOBE JR.” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Brooks was a savvy scorer. No where near the kind of rim pressure that Kobe generates, but he’s a bucket

He was a walking bucket with the Nets. Never got a chance to prove it once traded

And that’s a trap I’d fall into as a scout. Brooks really did look and hoop like Kobe. But he didn’t have Kobe’s top gear or mamba mentality. I’m not saying acuff won’t be good/great. I hope he is. But watching yt highlights I became enamored by the iverson resemblance.

He woulda been Kobe x2 if Avery Johnson let him operate

Nah. Yall traded for KG, Paul pierce and Joe Johnson which ultimately stunted his growth and rotational minutes when he got to Boston. Same shit happened to Cam Reddish

Kobe jr ?

@GSlate @JackinKing_Bone I was saying this a few weeks ago with the DP comparisons

2k13 my team demon

He got injured 🤕 only reason he stopped cooking.

Nets fans would know better than me but every time i seen him get play time he was hoopin

marshon brooks man such a providence legend

Friar

He WAS nice that rookie year but yeah didn’t exactly keep it up lol
