A couple or a few years ago I saw on FB where someone had put together a video compilation of a couple or few dozen of Jordan's best shots; after each Jordan shot, there would be footage of Kobe making that identical shot. He had studied all of Jordan's work and could, and did, duplicate it.
I'll never forget Jordan, when asked whether he ranked Lebron higher than Kobe, saying that to him, five rings outdid three every time. It's not the popular opinion, but I personally feel Kobe was better than Lebron, and that Jordan is the only one who can be put above Kobe.
