Uh-Oh: Video Surfaces Of Kobe Bryant Saying He’s Better Than Michael Jordan

by Dan Fogarty | 2:28 pm, February 25th, 2012

This is from an exhibition game last summer, but the YouTube video was just brought to our attention today. It shows Kobe Bryant going over to the bench during said exhibition game, and saying to someone on the sidelines that he’s better than Michael Jordan (and second only to Wilt Chamberlain on the Greatest of All Time list).

The conversation appears to be a private one — Kobe isn’t in front of a microphone, and he’s not telling a room full of reporters that he’s better than Jordan. Also, he’s Kobe Bryant, psychotic competitor. By nature, he should think he’s better than Mike. Still: this video’s now out there, and it will raise a few eyebrows. Video here. Small NSFW soundbite at the very end, for some reason.

I hate slow news days.
I believe Kobe was referring to Mike “the Situation” Sorrentino anyway.
