For the period that Kobe wore AJ's on court....I can't say there was even one bad pair out of the bunch. That being said, it was for sure a good moveon Nike's part to "brand" kobe and give him his own line which has now become something really good even if the Kobe IV is just a"lowtop" hyperdunk.

the hate is starting to get ridiculous
Kobe is just as good as Jordan if not better...Its just too hard for some of you to get off of Jordans tip long enough to realize it
anyway heres an article(old but you get it):
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=hill/070326
P.S. thought I show a little bit of it for the ones too lazy:
Kobe Bryant is better than Michael Jordan.
Not more successful.
Hasn't had a bigger economic impact.
Hasn't won more MVPs.
Hasn't won more titles.
But he's a better player.
Kobe can do everything Michael did, and even a few things Michael couldn't do.
Kobe is just as good a defender. His killer instinct is just as pronounced. He can shoot, finish and explode. And just like Jordan, the more he's pissedoff, the more unstoppable he is.
Of course, the idea that Kobe is better than Jordan -- or even the best player in this league -- is as repugnant to some folks as a rectal exam. Even thoughKobe has proven himself under pressure countless times, he gets the A-Rod treatment.
Kobe can't please anyone. And it doesn't help that most people suffer from revisionist history when it comes to Jordan, forgetting that hewas just as poor a teammate and a ball hog and that he ran off coach Doug Collins like Kobe ran off Phil Jackson the first time.
In fact, you could argue that Jordan was even worse. Far as we know, Kobe hasn't jacked up any of his teammates the way Jordan punched out SteveKerr and Will Perdue at practice.
Kobe will never be forgiven for Shaq's departure, but you're delusional if you think Jordan wouldn't have had any ego issues playing alongside aplayer with Shaq's star power.
The best-player argument shouldn't be determined by personal dislike. But if you want to take it there, fine. Jordan was hardly the ideal husband, butonly the tabloids were brave enough to venture into his personal life. And what about those gambling issues? If Jordan's life had been covered likeKobe's, we would have an entirely different opinion of His Airness.
Besides a different level of media scrutiny, there was definitely a difference in the level of competition during Jordan's heyday compared to now

Is he?
Does he really? So thats why he chose the #23??? Lmao, another copy cat if you ask me. Kobe is a beast. If all goes well, Kobe can get 7 ringz no lie lol. Look@ Jordan, he was still old and balling but I doubt Kobe wants to plat till hes like 38 lol.

You sir are officially an idiot. You just proved yourself to be very wrong. I have blocked you so i dont have to read anymore of your garbage.
MJ BEST ATHLETE TO EVER WALK THE EARTH.....your in time-out
Whats wrong with wanting to be like mike?
Theres a difference between wanting to be like Mike and wanting to be then realizing you cant be and finding your own identity
Kobe is merely a Jordan imposter who is infatuated with MJ. Like a stalker and kinda freaky. MJ should get a restraining order.
MJ would have nothing to do wit Kobe and his tainted career.
This man speaks the truth. Very well said my friend. Good to see not everyone is blinded and starving for a NEW MJ not realizing it will never be.

He committed rape and paid his victom off to avoid jail time.....bought his wife a forgive me present......and changed his number.....
He's a conceited ball-hog. Jordan took alot of shots too... but NEVER went 13 of 38 from the field...

You sir(swirv1).... probably one of the dumbest ppl here on Niketalk.... You get bagged on by teenagers in the Nike Retro forums, in the Nike forums andeverywhere else for that matter.....
I'm on my iphone so I really can't lash out on the reason why Kobe is slightly better than Jordan... But one thing I will tell you to do.... GET ONYOUTUBE.... TYPE " KOBE JORDAN COMPARISONS by PHIL JACKSON "...... If there is one person that can truly answer that, it's PHIL... And guess whohe goes with as a better player?..... And don't forget... Kobes only gona get better.... This is an early comparison... And YES... I grew up watchingJORDAN and idolizing the man.... But Kobe is just something else that Jordan never had and could probably never have done with the HIGH LEVEL of TALENT thatthere is now....
I'll be back to post the reaons and interviews and so much more. And to the guy/kid that said lebron is more marketable?..... FYI... Kobe outsells lebron.These are Facts. And he outsells JB in Asia.... Someone bring up the reports please.

Jordan played against smothering defenders around the perimeter with bumping and hand checking in Kobe era you cant even breathe on the man with out calling afoul. Jordan the best in his era Kobe the best in His era. From my eyes Jordan > Kobe, now back to topic I would love to have those lakers CW III andVIII
