I will be known as the NT'er who said Kobe > MJ, and i dont care..save my post, take a picture, stoneface me, flame me, do whatever..It's MY OPINION, and as a basketball fan I'm pretty sure i'm allowed to have one. "Well its a stupid opinion"..Great, thank you for your thoughts. Again, MY opinion whether u think its stupid or not
So with that said, i will say it again. Kobe bryants scoring ability is better than Jordans, his footwork is better than jordans, his ball handling skills are better than jordans. They're both lockdown defenders, they both have that drive and competitiveness in them..They are damn near the same player. Jordan has attributes to his game that are better than Kobes, but you can say the same for #24.
4 straight 50 point games. Hasnt been done since f'n Wilt did it.
81 points, NUFF SAID.
THIS SEASON at 30 years old, 61 pts in like 36 minutes vs the Knicks.
Kobe averaged 45 points in the month of February of 2006. FORTY FIVE. How does that happen?
9 straight 40+ pt games, and 16 straight 35(or 30 i forgot) point games.
I can go on about the things kobe has done as a scorer, which pads my opinion on why i think he's better then Jordan, AS A SCORER.
You can say he's a ballhog, you can say hes selfish..But in fact you can argue that Jordan was even worse So dont't go there
in jordans time he was a force that could not be equaled. No arguement there. But he was also guarded by the likes of John Starks and Joe dumars, who were def. great players but not as physically imposed like Lebron, dwade, t-mac etc etc. The NBA right now in terms of NBA players are bigger, faster, and more skilled then in Jordans time.
This arguement is a waste of time because my mind will not change. Just the fact that people say "NO ONE WILL EVER BE BETTER THAN MICHAEL JORDAN!!!" is ridiculous and a redundant statement..Kobe has years of elite seasons left in him, and as of RIGHT NOW he is the ONLY player to be compared to THE GREAT MICHAEL JORDAN, and hes STILL not done. I think thats why most of y'all are mad..Scared to see it happen? Appreciate the past, and move on....We shall see.

swear to god someone didnt say tmac was better then kobe for a 3 year period in the NBA?
i figured there was a reason i didnt read this thread
Well because Jordan and Kobe are pretty similar in terms of accomplishments and attributes, I feel that it is necessary to nit pick at damn nearevery detail and intangibles.
You wrote "it's very well possible that the Lakers could have lost with Jordan replacing Kobe" but do you really believe that,hypothetically speaking?

But its like a rapper who sells millions and millions of records, does that make him the greatest rapper of all time? No, it doesn't.
Kobe Bryant has assets to his game that are BETTER than Michael Jordans...Mike might have rings, but we're talking about skill here. Kobe > Michael Jordan.
Better shooter, better scorer, better footwork, better ball-handling, etc.
I'm going to get a million stone faces, but i don't care. I'm not just a biased Laker/Kobe fan either. This is coming from a basketball fan. When it is all said and done, kobe bryant will be the greatest basketball player of all time.
Kobe > MJ

.That would definetly lessen the gap.. its sad though as that was a very informative piece but couldnt be totally unbiased about it. then again, im sure MJ hadsome monthly or 10 game stretch numbers that were mind boggling statistically.
I mean the league fg%s and taking out kobes first three years was all stuff I would be doing for an argument and he did that.. but its missing some kobe stuffthat might level the playing field a bit.
