These were Michael Jordan's three simple words for Kobe Bryant. It's awesome to see him supporting Kobe instead of being bitter about being passed in the all-time scorer rankings. Kobe knows what an honor that was, telling the Chicago Sun Times:

“It was more of a thankful feeling to Michael and the players who came before because I’ve learned so much from them,” Bryant said. “And I don’t say that lightly. I’ve literally just stole [expletive] from them, like spin moves and pull-ups. It’s not me passing these players. It’s us. I’ve literally taken things from their games and made them my own.”
