What did Kobe say when he first met Jordan?

In order to change Kobe's selfish attitude towards playing, Phil Jackson specially arranged for Jordan to help Kobe improve his team's basketball awareness, so he arranged for the two to meet privately. As a result, Kobe said directly when he met Jordan for the first time. : "I can beat you to the point of being confused in 1V1, you know that"! Jordan was probably confused at the time. He just smiled and glared at Kobe. It can be seen that Jordan was still somewhat angry at the time. How dare a little-known rookie to talk to me like this these days? But the young and frivolous Kobe thought that Jordan's attitude meant that he didn't take him seriously and looked down on himself. So during the game, Kobe asked his teammates to open up space for him and wanted to play singles with Jordan. After scoring a goal, he looked arrogant. Looked towards Jordan.

Of course Jordan couldn't bear this kind of insult, so he began to seriously compete with Kobe. But after all, Kobe was just a rookie who had just entered the league at the time. How could he be able to compare with the player who had been playing for many years? What an old gangster! Kobe later said when recalling this game: "MJ at that time really exceeded my imagination. I tried my best to defend him, but I still remember being beaten 2+1 by him several times." According to Kobe's character, let him Jordan may be the only one who admits that there are players better than himself.

Whether it was a frontal breakthrough or a back-up against Kobe, Jordan could do it easily. After one success, Jordan said to Kobe: "Son, go back and practice for another ten years. By then you may be able to Half as capable as me”! In another matchup, Jordan completed a dunk after stealing the ball from Kobe. Then he walked up to Kobe and looked at him with a smile, with a completely contemptuous expression, which taught the young and arrogant Kobe a good lesson.
