00:00I'm Jill Painter Lopez with Sports Illustrated here with our very own Melissa Rowland and
00:05Melissa so much being made of Michael Jordan right now and the Last Dance documentary and
00:10he was asked if he in his prime could play anybody in their prime who would it be?
00:14Well who would it be?
00:16He named a handful of guys among them Kobe Bryant he said that the only guy who would
00:21be able to beat him was Kobe and that's because Kobe steals all of his moves which actually
00:27there is a lot of truth to that.
00:29Kobe grew up absolutely admiring Michael Jordan he was his hero he emulated the way
00:33he talked he imitated his moves he incorporated them into his own and that obviously helped
00:38him become a five-time NBA champion two-time finals MVP and one-time regular season MVP
00:43in 2008 would be really interesting if we could see Kobe and MJ go one-on-one in their
00:48prime I don't know who I'd pick Jill.
00:51I'd go with Kobe and Melissa I mean he just his will to win is incredible and if Michael
00:55Jordan himself is saying Kobe could beat him one-on-one I'm gonna go with that good point.
