“Kobe Vibes”: QB Jalen Hurts Reminds Fans of Kobe Bryant With a Cheeky Response in Eagles Press Conference

The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs will face each other on February 12 for the most competitive game of the Super Bowl. Both teams might be grueling and grinding to be named the victors of the most prestigious award. The journey to the Super Bowl has been one of perseverance for the Philadelphia Eagles. The team’s quarterback, Jalen Hurts, thinks that the work is not done yet. Therefore, when reporters asked him a question at an Eagles game conference, he gave a clever reply to the question. His answer received praise from fans who even compared him to the NBA superstar, Kobe Bryant.

Even though Philadelphia advanced to the Super Bowl, their work is not finished yet. Not unless they win the ultimate title. In the conference, a reporter asked the former second-round pick which was his best play of the season. He gave an answer that would have made the Los Angeles Lakers star proud.

“My best play of the season? Season’s not over,” said the 24-year-old QB. He declined to give an answer because there is one game left to be played. A game that may change the trajectory of the team. This is the kind of response the five-time championship-winning hooper would have clapped at. This not only would have made 18-time All-Star happy, but it also impressed fans.

One wrote, “Kobe Vibes. No wonder I love this guy.” Another fan said, “Sounding like Kobe. Let’s Go Birds.” A fan commented, “I’m obsessed with this man.” One fan was certain that the Eagles will win next Sunday, “Best QB in the NFL and he will prove it next Sunday!”

Bryant’s calm and stoic response came after he led his team to the Finals in 2009. The Lakers led the series with a 2-0 score. And after giving a 29 points performance in Game 2, a reporter asked him why he looked unsatisfied. “What’s there to be happy about? Job’s not finished. Job finished? No, I don’t think so.” Hence, it did not take fans to compare the two with each other.

This year has been an outstanding one for Hurts. He could have easily chosen one highlight reel of himself. But by not giving an answer, he showed the mentality with which he was entering the tournament.
