This is why Kobe Bryant so respected by NBA all over the world, he respected those who paved the way before him. Very similar to MJ. He had no issue with giving the greats before him their respect because he wasn’t insecure like many modern NBA player podcasters. #nba... #espn #kobebryant #lakersshow more

Kobe once said without Pau he doesnt get those two rings. Thats respect right there

💯 facts. Great players have egos but also humble enough to understand that the game is always going to be bigger than them.

Kobe has always shown respect to the legends of the game and as a student of the game, he knows where to place himself and for that you can only have respect.

This MJ?

You’re the last person to call anybody insecure, grifting on another person and his fanbase all to collect a check instead of talking about your favorite player allegedly , not to mention you’re ok with people in comment sections on your YouTube channel being racist

Kobe has no chance of being the goat

You have to respect who came before you. 💯🐐

You have Bron Derangement Syndrome

Just not women in hotel rooms

There is a huuuuge group of people that don’t like rapist.

How Kobe forget Cap

Damn sure not the fake as phuk 23... Wish the league would retire the number so no one can use it…

yeah a fucking rapist

First when was this interview? 2ndly if Kobe was here today and asked the same question the list dramatically changes

I thought he was going to say "im done with the 90s"

If Kobe doesn’t even have himself top 5… Why should we?

Kobe studied Jordan’s tapes. Isn’t that what respect looks like when it comes with homework?

Except, he was a Mofo'ing rapist. You new N*ggas and your favorites, phuck y'all! You no integrity having, celebrity cocksucking grown azz "men". Emotionally delayed Mofo'ers engaged in athlete idolatry as adults! Phuck outta here! 👎🏿

When he had to carry a team as the lone superstar he went on a show with Stephan a and cried demanding a trade when he got caught in Colorado having unprotected sex with a stranger while married he threw shaq under the bus and I like Kobe to but don’t you fools try to make him all of a sudden seem like everyone respected the bull💩 he did man stop 🛑

LeBron would never say that ...

Yup always gives respect and credit to those before him.. confident and humble unlike some…

you dont know what words mean do you? everyone respects everyone. humility is a different thing, its about perceiving reality and implicitely the difference in value between oneself and others
