Jordan didn’t care about all that. During his final season with the Wizards, he once told Bryant after a game that he could wear his shoes, but “never fill them.” Harsh words from a man Bryant grew up idolizing. In typical Mamba fashion, Bryant responded by dropping 55 points the next time the two teams played each other.
