I don't know who to believe. We might have to go to the tape. Could it be that Kobe wasn't as much like MJ as people thought?Exactly![]()
Kawhi has some of the most orig
Let’s keep it a band flea. Kobe is an off brand Jordan to this day...He’s just not as egregious with it nowadays
Kawhi is painfully himself. God only knows what lengths Kobe would have went to if Magic was his favorite player
Yeah let’s keep it a band. You don’t know shyt. If Kobe was nothing but a Jordan clone how come he took so many moves from other players? Was it MJ where Kobe learned how to play full games left handed from? Was it MJ learned how to play with all star big men from? Kobe won rosters made completely differently than the ones MJ won with. Y’all love to pop shyt with no context.
Also Kawhi himself said he patterned his game after Kobe. He’s painfully himself on the court too. I don’t think MJ or Kobe took 5 seasons to average 20ppg, or 9 seasons to finally put up more than 20 shots a game, or average over 3.5 assists. Kobe’s the ballhog yet Kawhi gone 8 seasons without being a ball distributor in even the least bit. But he’s more like MJ than anyone else huh
You typing like you in the will lmaoooooo
Kawhi literally doing the same exact thing he did on the Spurs except his usage is up and yall act like this came out of nowhere.
Casuals.

Lol.. light skinned Kobe's...
New MJ...
Man...y'all wildin
Kobe got roasted for almost 2 decades for "playing like Mike" now Kawhi apparently plays even more like MJ(), and its a good thing.
People just exposing themselves.
Real basketball fans see that there are pretty significant differences between them in terms of play style and physical abilities.
those vids are the equivalent of someone posting Shaqtin a Fool clips and saying "SeE, ModerN nBA is TraSH!"Today’s defense is a million times better than the trash defense that MJ played against. The tape doesn’t lie.
Kawhi would be the GOAT if he played in the ‘80s/‘90s being guarded by plumbers and mechanics like MJ was. Look at all those slow unathletic stiffs trying to check MJ.
MJ in today’s NBA = Jaylen Brown with a bald head.
You sure he can hit 70? He's already taking games off a week into the season.If Kawhi plays 70-72 games and Clippers finish as a top 3 seed he might get his first regular season MVP.
He does remind me of 96-98 Jordan, but the thing is he doesn't have to be as fluid as 96-98 MJ or as athletic as 84-91 MJ.
He just gotta keep getting buckets at a 50% fg clip. He shot like shyt in the 2nd qtr, then went 7/9 or something ridiculous in the 4th. So even when he has a bad game, 15/32 = 47%
That's what reminds me most of Jordan tbh, the efficiency.
