Brandy = Kobe

0424-kobe-brandy-1.jpg


Brandy was highly compared to Whitney, and modeled herself after Whitney.
Kobe was highly compared to Jordan, and modeled himself after Jordan.

Kobe and Brandy were teen cookie cutters. When Kobe first came to the league he was doing Nicklodeon. All That, Sisters and Sisters etc... He was very clean cut. Same With Brandy, compared to Aaliyah, and Monica. Brandy was the cookie cutter one.

Kobe's game is fundamentally sound. Brandy is literally Fundamentally sound, she's considered the vocal bible.
Kobe recently admitted when he first came to the league he asked M.J for advice, and M.J communicated with Kobe often and gave him constant advice.

Whitney hand picked Brandy her self for Cinderella

Both had famous family members, Kobe's father was Joe Jelly Bean. Brandy's aunt is Gladys Knight.
Kobe's career mirrored Jordan. 3 peat and won them rings like Jordan.
Brandy had Never Say Never, Moesha, Cinderalla, Full Moon, and bounced back with Aphrodasiac. Brandy like Whitney was doing it on both ends singing and acting.

This is good logic, but Brandy wasn't putting up Kobe level numbers.

The way I envisioned it,

Brandy & Monica = Stockton & Malone

Hear me out...they both had seasons where they were legit MVP candidates, and they fed off of each other.
Their biggest triumph was standing side-by-side.

:rudy:@ comparing a solo artist and her clones to a team... as if Aaliyah had a group album with her clones. Groups like SWV, Black Stone, Destiny Child, Total, 702, Envogue should be compared to teams, not a solo artist.
According to you, Whitney is Jordan... If Whitney is Jordan than how is Aaliyah the Knicks??? Aaliyah was never a contemporary of Whitney.. She was next in line.

Nah, Bruh...Aaliyah wasn't "next in line" - she was in a whole different line than Whitney.
So just like the Knicks, she was playing a whole different style than "Jordan".

And when she hit, other acts was trying to jock that (as you call it) "laid-back, non-diva" style...
...which wasn't nothing but a more chill TLC vibe. Just like the 90s Knicks was a less-intense version of the Bad Boys.

Angela Winbush= Joe Dumars

Both are often overlooked in their respective fields.
Angela was one half of Angela and Rene... Joe was one half of the dynamic Bad Boys back court with Zeke.
Joe was an all around player; Defense ,Offence Play Maker. Angela Wrote, produce, arranged her own music, and is one of the all time greatest vocalists..
Alotta NBA teams low key copied the BAD BOY Pistons playing style . Alotta artists sampled Angela Winbush.
Angela had a successful career as a producer, and writer for numerous other artists. Joe Had a successful career as a general manger.(fyi trading for Iverson cost Dumar his job.)

J- Lo = Dirk Nowitzki.
A master at the inside/outside. Nobody thought they would be as successful as they were.
Really only got to the Promised Land when they got some hitters around them.

Aretha Franklin = Wilt Chamberlain.
Pound for pound (and it's a lot of pounds) the most dominating.
Can run circles around their competition, and do this in their sleep.
They had the make the court bigger because of them.
Still, couldn't win by themselves.
This is absolutely wrong, Aretha can't run :skip:

Not bad...imo, I saw

Clyde Drexler or Mitch Richmond = Angela Winbush.

Both spent most of their careers toiling underrated on the West Coast, but in time got down with a dope team and has most of their notoriety as a contributor.

Nah, Brandy is Chris Webber - era of dominance and being the (wo)man, but not great enough to be all time, yet too important to not respect game when thinking of their prime. Will always have a place in the heart of fans and are welcome by the culture.

Teyana Taylor - iman shumpert :skip:
Had a quick moment when you thought they might do something, then you quickly realized they're a background player. Will drop some heat every now and then, but skirts the line of bench and role player.

I can't really fade this...but let me ask:

Is Brandy a Hall Of Famer?

Sade = Hakeem Olajuwon.

Foreign. The smoothest. Give them the bass(base) line and you can't beat them.
The group behind them might've been the most complete - but it didn't matter without them.
As dope as the talent was mid-90s, their work put everybody else's down and sent folks back to the lab to regroup. Clutch City-era Rockets was Love Deluxe.

Yea, she ain't Whitney, Chaka, Mariah first ballot, but she's in there :ehh:


And who would Erykah Badu be? :jbhmm:

I'm glad you asked this...

Erykah Badu = Allen Iverson.

Kicked the door open for the New School. Irreverent. The People's Favorite. Is an artist who is sensitive about their chit. Doesn't really rock with practice or the Dress Code. People low key forget they have southern roots. The complete opposite of "Kobe" - but that was good for the game.
