'Show Me Why They Call You Black Jesus And Crap' - A 19-Year Old Kobe Daring Jordan Before An All-Time 1v1 Matchup

I don’t know, call me crazy. Daring Michael Jordan to ‘show you’ why people call him Black Jesus and ‘other crap’ is just a bad idea. I don’t think I’d want Jordan pissed off at me. I mean we have some vintage stories of what he does when you dare him:

Now sure, it’s the All-Star Game, but if you think Kobe and Jordan were going to take this lightly you’re goddamn wrong – naturally, they both led their teams in scoring. It led to one of the better individual matchups between two guys who had similar games. Hell, Kobe even talked about how Jordan gave him some mentorship and how he mimicked his game.

How about the fact that Kobe still made sure to call out George Karl though. Part of what Kobe is an absolute psycho. He was pissed he was benched in the 4th quarter of an All-Star Game. Granted, that is weird since Kobe was a starter, but to have such hatred for Karl because of that is pure crazy behavior.
