Kobe Bryant has kept it no secret that he’s emulated Michael Jordan for a majority of his career. For God sakes, remember in 2007 when Kobe “demanded” he be traded and the Chicago Bulls were his desired destination? This new viral video shows just how eerily similar the two were during their prime.

Since its posting on August 5, the video has gained 3 million views.
