Since when did ramona ever credited MJ? Love kobe. Second for me in GOAT convos. But MJ is the most influential. You are materialistic if you have Jordan brand shoes? How low can ramona get.
What is Ramona Shelburne talking about? There was a time when Jordan was the most famous person on the planet outside of maybe Michael Jackson and peak Mike Tyson.
No other basketball player has had that type of global influence.
There would be no Kobe, as we knew him, without Micheal mentoring him along the way.
I once was in Haiti and the only English they knew was Michael Jordan. Basketball became a global sport because everyone wanted to watch him play. That's why we see so many international players in the NBA right now. It's a trickle-down effect over the years from those in other countries who got inspired by the 92 dream team.
Alot of Kobe stuff is because he passed away, so we revere even more as a result. But he is no where close to MJ in terms of global influence
Lets put this way…MJ is on level with MJ (the other one)….let that sink in
Itβs Cristiano Ronaldo
MJ is inarguably the GOAT basketball player and shoe marketing icon. But, in my opinion, Kobe's influence on humanity is unsurpassed by any other sports legend. We'll see how many people cry when MJ passes on.
Michael Jordan INFLUENCED Kobe Bryant. But ok, Momo.
She saying Kobe just to disagree.
As a Marine who spent a lot of time over in Asia. Kobe was huge out there.
There is no Kobe without MJ.
What the Question a out Michael Jordon? And this chick start talking about Kobe Bryant. Don't bring her back she is a First Class Hater
Kobe upπππππππππππ
"I gotta kobe up."
Nobody has ever said that. She was the first lol
Ramona is high on something
Kobe was a Jordan clone…..FACTS π€«π€«π€«
MJ than its Kobe
Ramona stop it, why people always gotta say some bs for views
MJ is the GOAT of GOATs.
Anyone arguing anything else are arguing for their own validation of their fandom and childhood memories.
MJ influenced Kobe, the Super Teans guy drafted by CLE and AI and many others.
Their careers are a direct impact of MJs legacy and they openly chased it and copied it as much as they could.
Other sports athletes have said they were inspired by or chased MJs legacy like Tom Brady.
All the Klutch Sports lies will never change that.
No corner of the world would you find someone who doesnβt know Micheal Jordan
The host woman looks like she for bit by bees all over her face and lips
KINGS replaced Barnes with DeRozan. I wouldve rather they got Ingram. Ingram is better than DeRozan.
Kobe and Tmac run back home during highschool to watch MJ. Is that even a question?
Lebron come on guys
Yep MJ is that man!
The right hand bandit!π
Everybody needs to go watch " Kobe Bryant breaking down great NBA players signature moves and in their Kobe talks about his favorite player growing up and it was not Michael Jordan, people do not know basketball, just ride the coattails of everybody else's saying, Jordan was not Kobe's favorite player growing up, go watch Kobe Bryant breaking down great NBA players signature moves.
Itβs really not even close to being close. MJ is the pinnacle.
Somehow I feel lebron will come up in this comment section π
Michael Jordan ππππ
can't blame Ramona for being biased… The Aura of a deceased legend can be seen as more influential than one that is still living…
Ramona is so on point – I love MJ, but Kobe absolutely captivated me even more than MJ, but to be fair, I only caught the last 3peat for MJ, whereas I watched the whole of Kobe's career. Both goats – thank you for the memories!
Ramona is REEEEEEEACHING. Even if you don't believe MJ is the GOAT, it's a fact he is the most influential player of ALL TIME… She is Tripping HARD
Other countries have the Jordan logo on their Olympic jerseyβs, OTHER COUNTRIES
AIR JORDAN
Wrong
That purple shirt make her look like a real life midget. lol something with the sleeves π
Kobe was influenced by Jordan. Period
I watched that whole clip to hear them talk about Jordan.
I donβt think I would have if it were for Kobe. Kobe is certainly an inspiration to many, but MJ is the king of kings, the guy.
Kobe?!? Has she been drinking on set? Get real, it's not even close.
"Give me my money" cringe
So who influenced mj. Id love to know.. sense we all train ourselves
Had to be the trained by a goat.. idk π€ on some mr myagi bs
Ali 1, Jordan 2β¦ idk at what stage another basketball player makes that list
MJ GOAT
She did Kobe a disservice tryinging to compare him to Jordan's influence.
THIS WONMAN IS A KLUTCH CLIENT AND HAVING TO PRAISE JORDAN WAS A BIG AWKWARD MOMENT O SHE HAD GTO CHANGD ITB4 GETTING INTO PRON]BLEM OR HAVING HER CHECK BOUNCEQQQ
American sports yes. Globally no, he def top 5. There's oh wait the number 1 sport in the world football (soccer) Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Messi and There's Ali too. But USA always omit football (soccer). Just because you suck at it, it doesn't mean it's not the best. There's corners in the world that will not know Kobe and MJ but def know Ronaldo and Pele. Now if it's in USA then ok.
"The Michael Jordan of…" statement is one example Jordan is the most influential.
