During a recent appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Kobe Bryant was asked to rank Michael Jordan, LeBron James and himself.

His answer might come as a shock to sports enthusiasts or, on the contrary, as something natural. Check out his response below.

Bryant responded: ‘Alright, fine: I’m the best, Michael’s second-best and LeBron’s third-best.’

‘The greatest of all time debate between #LeBronJames and #MichaelJordan is one that is long-winded and, more often than not, leads to nowhere. It gets even more complicated when Lakers fans include #KobeBryant in the conversation — unless, of course, you ask Bryant himself,’ GossipTooMuch writes.

Anyway, people in the comments section were mostly saying that the whole thing was a joke and this is the right answer that Kobe should have given.

A commenter wrote ‘it was a joke. Plus, you always have to rate yourself over someone. It’s that champion mindset.’

Another follower posted ‘The man went there for something else, you brought in your damn silly question what you expected him Mr. Kobe BRYANT to spit out of his reasonable mouth🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.’

Back in January, it was revealed that Kobe and his wife Vanessa are about to become parents of four.

The happy couple started the new year in a big way since they took to social media to announce the exciting, happy news.
