Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant shared a big-brother—little-brother type of relationship. This bond carried on even after both MJ and Kobe retired from the NBA.

After Kobe tragically passed away, Jordan was overcome with emotion. He openly cried at Kobe’s memorial while giving a heartwarming speech.

 

Jordan later revealed he kept the last exchange of text messages he had with Kobe.

 

 

The text exchange showcases a few things. It shows how close these two superstars were. We also see how competitive Kobe was, by his comments on coaching his daughter’s basketball game.

This is a great but sad last image of an exchange between two of the greatest NBA players of all time.
