Via Pro Basketball Talk:

Kobe’s ultimate competition is MJ. That’s why MJ watches him. MJ made people think what he was doing wasn’t human. Ditto the Kobester.

I never said Kobe was better than MJ. MJ just told me Kobe’s the only one to have done the work, to deserve comparison.

Kobe is one ring short of Michael and you have to wonder if he takes this as a compliment or more fuel for the fire. A belated compliment like this from Michael? The guy gets off on being withholding.
