One of things I try to stress to people who say “Kobe copied Jordan’s whole career”, is that Jordan had a Gatorade commercial saying “BE LIKE MIKE”.
Every kid in the world during that time tried to duplicate what Jordan was doing on a basketball court and only came remotely close and that was Kobe Bryant.
He should be celebrated for that, because that is a hell of an accomplishment.
