I'm not a Kobe fan, but even Phil Jackson has said that Kobe is more fundamentally sound, while MJ was stronger and more athletic. But I will say that MJ's midrange game is unparalleled.
@SFO14 I don't believe Phil when he said that, he only need to say something good about both players. If he needs to really compare them, it will be a long talk. But all those detail can be shorten to: MJ is better in scoring, reb, ast, lower turnover rate, more effecient, almost everything.
research has proven that when he jumped and moved the ball around in mid-air, that it increased his hangtime. So some of the real sick hangtime moves you see from Mj, youll notice he moves the ball around almost each time.
The one thing I definitely see in Kobe's game that is NOT up to par with Jordans is his creativity to get off a shot. MJ used to glide in the air with 3 defenders up in the air with him and make some of the most amazing reverse layups I have ever seen in my life. Jordan was like a ballerina in the air..so elegant..something I think Kobe does not have. MJ was just sooo athletic.
@James8107 Just to add to what you mentioned, to me there are 3 key things that Kobe isn't up to par to MJ. It's posting up (obviously cuz MJ is the greatest perimeter post up player to ever play), moving without the ball, and efficiency. It's even worse with Lebron who is so lacking in other aspects of the game.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol at ur .341 and .327 things. . . kobe took more 3 point shots than michael and kobe is still playing. . if mj took the same 3 pointers as kobe he's percentage will drop to .25
And that should tell you something. MJ didn't have to take that many three's to score. Kobe takes too many shots to get his points. MJ was a much better defender, but what I said was that MJ played when the defense and players were much better. I didn't say Kobe was declining now, but it will happen soon and his shooting accuracy will go down. and jekjek021 percentages don't lie.
Percentages are not dependant on how many shots a player takes. To claim Mj's percentage would have gone down if he took more 3's doesn't have any substance.
Anyway, Jordan's stats tell the opposite story. In the four seasons where he shot the most 3's his percentage was better. In 1990 he attempted 245 three pointers and shot .376, in 1993 he shot 230 at .352, in 1996 he shot 260 at .427, and 1997 he shot 297 at .374.
You could argue if he shot MORE threes his percentage would be better.
kobe shoots .341 form three point range for his career and Michael shoots .327 for his. much better lol. Also take into consideration when MJ played defense was a lot tougher with hand checking and physical play allowed. Also when kobe starts to decline and get older, which is here soon, his percentages will go down. Gain knowledge before speaking.
first of all there are 2 things wrong with your opnion bro ye ill admit mj is much better defender but he was definatly not know for his 3 point shooting also kobe bryant is not getting out of his prime any time soon just cause the nba looks at 30 being old doesnt mean anything a 30 year old can be quicker and faster then a 22 yr old its depends on how much they want to train them selves
one thing you dont understand on jordan's game, is he could score 50 points on you without shooting 1 three. MJ had a better shot selection and overall better midrange game and shot. could dunk it on people harder, finishes to the rim better, plays better D, faster and better hops...... but yeah ok kobe has a better 3 because he jacks em up all the time, he should have good practice at it
Even at 3 point shots. MJ might end up being better than Kobe overall. Kobe 3-pt shooting pct dropping big time. also, MJ shot the 3s when it counted the most. game winners & 1992 nba finals game 1 6-first half-treys. thats GOAT stuff. Kobe can never ever do that.
kobes better? fuck all you kobe nut huggers then because you have no clue what you are talking about most of the time and are more biased than anything.
I was listening to an interview on Phil Jackson and how He sees the differences of kobe and MJ, he said Kobe is a better jumpshooter, and MJ has bigger hands, which made him unstoppable going into the rim.
Fanboys who try to discredit MJ's or Kobe's accomplishments need to get a life. If you hate Kobe and his game, then you indirectly hate Jordan, since Kobe has a MJ-like game and MJ is his mentor. MJ, like all the greats before him, had to stand on the shoulders his predacessors, like Doctor J, Larry Bird, and Magic. Enjoy Kobe while you can, because like MJ before him, you'll be posting, "I remember when Kobe.." stories about him, like we all do with MJ, Doctor J and the other greats.
Kobe dick riders listen up.. He does not have this type of grace and essence that MJ does. This is why MJ is still better, he made it look better than Kobe can ever try to. It ain't all about stats. MJ just looks better playing ball than Kobe does. That is part of being the greatest.
Lol @ whoever said Kobe could do this in his sleep. Well that must be the only place he can do it, because I've certainly never seen him do it on a basketball court. Kobe's a great player and I've seen him do amazing things, but he never really does anything like this. He's even done things as cool as this... but just not quite this. He doesn't have the hang-time necessary to pull it off.
just like lebron, jordan is the only player in the history to score 50 pts consistently against good teams. lebron= 7 50 pt games against losing teams. kobe=9 out of 24 50 pt games against winning teams.
No he didn't you liar. I just watched every point of Kobe's 61 point game. He did double pump jumpers, but nothing like this. Jordan could make double pump jumpers in his sleep too, even as a rookie, but this shot is different, he circles it in the air and goes under the defender's arm. Kobe has never done this, one of many things MJ could do that Kobe can't.

LOL Phil HAS TO stay at Kobe's side for now.
After all, he's still coaching him.
He can't disrespect Kobe while still coaching him.
If Phil thinks Kobe is better, why did he say that MJ would score 45 points per game under today's rules? LOL
Think of it logically, Phil can't answer the question straight until he's done coaching Kobe.
Saying MJ is better would be awkward because he's still coaching Kobe.
But believe me, Phil thinks MJ is far superior.
