Been a long time since I watched #8 Kobe highlights, but off the top of my head I remember thinking he was AS gifted as MJ athletically.

my never ending frustration, Canadian NBA players are too entitled and not patriotic enough to win.
Not enough chemistry and practice to overcome international squads who practice and play more together.

Gilbert said 24 Kobe was like 2nd 3 Peat Jordan.
He wasn't referring to Young #8 Kobe.

Lots of young people clearly only saw 24 and never saw 8.

And I'm sure Keon Coleman barely even saw that.

If yall think even #8 Kobe was athletic as MJ or Bron yall are drunk. I think T mac and AI was more athletic too.

Nah.
He wasn't on Prime Jordan's level. Absolutely not.
But that would be like calling Prime Pamela Anderson flat chested just because she is standing next to Persephanii.

There’s a couple reasons Kobe came off the bench his first 2 seasons and it’s not because he was some some sort of underdog

I listened to the clip when it was released. He was talking about the athleticism and skill-set 24 had is more comparable to older Jordan than Prime Jordan.
He wasn't talking about athleticism. Which he also mentioned Prime Jordan was in a class of his own.

This seems to be a failure from a Canadian leadership standpoint. Something needs to change because Canada has a SQUAD and needs to capitalize on that.

Kobe Bryant was athletic. Crazy athletic. He was never the most athletic player in the league. Im comparing him to Michael Jordan and Lebron James.

The fanboy energy is strong in here today
Just because someone states that Kobe wasn’t at the top level of elite athleticism doesn’t mean he was un-athletic or just an average athlete. Kobe had elite athleticism, but there are levels.
