There is never a best ever there is only a best right now and that would be kobe MJ was the best all throughout the late 80's and 90's and then kobe came along and became the best and does anybody not know how good of a team jordan had around him all his championship years you give lebron a guy like pippen on the cavs and he would have 3 championships by now
I'm a big MJ fan, but looking at what kobe's career, I gotta say Kobe is amazing too. 81 points?!!! and people still say jordan was better just for respect. If Kobe wins this upcoming NBA championship, then I'll say he's better than MJ.
These are the two best players of all time Jordan number one and Kobe 2. If you think otherwise you don't know the game. And what a coincidence that the two best have the same style same body type and same athleticism. Who cares if kobe copied jordan that is what you are suppose to do when you want to be the best learn from the best. Any kid who has ever been serious about the game copies moves they see on tv.
Kobe is no.2 wing player in NBA history. Thats the truth. Kobe is not yet the 2nd great player in NBA history. Wing players like MJ or Kobe is a trend after late Jordan's era. But before that, the NBA had much more styles. You just cant say yes only outside players like MJ or Kobe, use offense as primary weapon to win the game, are the best players. You got to see what they done.
lol @ using his 55 against the Wizards as saying hes better than Jordan :l its Amazing to me how ppl say Kobe is BETTER than Jordan...even tho Kobe Himself will tell you otherwise...and has...
@iLL271 Kobe's a humble dude. It would be the peek of arrogance for him to say he is better than MJ, don't you think? Again, Kobe's is very humble, and he has wisely left the arguement of "who's better" for us to debate/determine.
yup.... looks like a three point contest......buttttt.... would u do that in a playoff game... i dont think so......phil would bench him .......... i gotta great shooting though.... kobe is like a glen rice.... three pointer in this game.....; do u think would of shot all of those being down on the score board.. think about it... would he.....
Celtics before 2008 was not strong team. Pistons was a great team, yes, for 2 years.
Thos number says something, but still Kobe choke in 2004 and 2008. And in his early career, he had shaq and the estern teams were soooo weak, they had no chance to defeat western champ. And the best yr for lakers those yrs, everyone knows shaq is the reason why lakers is unbeatable.
No, nobody listens to Kobe because he's not being honest! Kobe xeroxed Jordan's game not magic's, kobe wags his finger after hitting a jumper like Mike not magic. How anyone can take what an athlete says at face value is beyond me, I mean if you asked an athlete if theyre on the juice you'll get a stright answer right? Which is why I hate kobe, he is a great player not legendary but very very good, I just hate the fact that the man stole Jordan's moves yet give's him no credit for it.
n wut if ur all wrong? wut if he was being honest, but his style just reminds you of mj's? if you look at it that side, then you would probably think why so many people compares him with mj since you think he tries to copy jordan moves.

the greatest scoring maching of all time yes better than MJ now find a way to win 3 more championships and we have an argument af whos the greatest of all time bc it will be him and supporting cast now but MJ still holds best player of all time.......
exactly, so many jordan slurpers out there. stop slurping the jordan juice. be objective. Kobe is close to the baller that MJ was, if not better. don't get so twisted when you hear the truth.
two of d best ever...best in offense and defense...huge players of nba!!!love dem both...but jordan didn't guard kobe all that night ryt?!?maybe jz a couple of plays but not all game...maybe if jordan did,kobe won't score that much...and if it'll in jordans time, maybe michael wudn't average that average either..anyway,jz like wat i said, two huge player in basketball in terms of OFFENSE and DEFENSE!!!
haha MJ didn't sleep that night ! He be like damn that Kid just showed me how scoring the basket should be ! Mj was knocking down shots after shots and then KOBE said "Aright man,don't you go further,this is my stadium,my league,my period hehe,let me take over the game and show you how to shoot the ball" ! EYES PROOF B SO FUCK YOU BRUCE GET A LIFE !
Search for "the artistry of michael jordan" on youtube (almost all rare/never seen before clips) and see for yourself that the evidence in favor of Jordan's superiority lies in more than simply stats, although the stats are powerful.
Sure, Kobe might be a better scorer now than MJ was in the 90s, or just 96-98. Better Kobe has never, ever, ever been a better scorer than MJ was in the late 80s when he averaged 37 points a game one year and 35 points a game another year, all while shooting over 50% from the field. Seriously, I'm going to post some of those stats.
In response to hotboy who said "Oh and when his career comes to an end he will go down as a better scorer than mj and a better defender." I have to pick a fight with you. About the defense you're probably wrong, but I'm more interested in the scoring part. There is no way in hell Kobe is a better scorer than MJ was.
I believe Kobe Bryant will go down as being the second greatest player in history. Michael Jordan is the greatest and I don't see his legacy being surpassed by any mortal or deity. Jordan was better than Kobe individually, not just a better team player. Better scorer, passer, defender, etc. Many people dont realize that because they didnt see Jordan play in the late 80s when he was at his athletic peak. But Kobe's great.
kobe 62- mavs 61. wayyyy more impressive than droppin 81 on the raptors and that sayin somethin. 81 takes a backseat to nothing, wayyy better than wilt dunkin on 6'6'' white boys for 100 points. mj is the past, kobe is the now, bron is the future. THE THREE UNDISPUTED KINGS
listen, kobe will be if he keeps playing like this, the best basketball player ever. How the hell do you score 63 in 36 min against a team that is known for their defence, and went to the nba finals.
Whos is saying Kobe has no D?? Hey pippen let me school you on some tips. Kobe Bryant All NBA DEFENSIVE TEAM 1ST TEAM; 99-00, 02-03,03-04,05-06. ALL NBA DEFENSIVE TEAM 2ND TEAM. 00-01,01-02. Thats six defensive teams and the man is what 28? He still has at least 6-7 good years left if he stays healthy. And these young bucks like LeBron and Wade, NBA Coaches and US Mens Olympic Coaches are advising them to seek Kobe's help on Defense.
this clearly shows that kobe bryant is any coaches dream offensive weapon and ideal defensive threat. Oh and when his career comes to an end. He will go down as a better scorer than mj, and a better defender. He might not get all the mvps or rings, but we can blame that on the lakers weak roster. LA MAKE SOME MOVES.
mj obviously has a extensive resume, not hating. but dude had a great team, great players around him. He had pippen top 50 greatest of all time. roll players like denis rodman, who knew his role, grab boards and past mj the rock, how many years did rodman own rebounding? shooters like paxson and steve kerr. Mj was surrounded by skillful vets
You're on crack. Kobe is a start. But he's not as good as MJ. MJ was far better on D. MJ made his players better. Kobe's ego is far too big. He needs to learn to trust his teammates. He never has. I don't think he ever will. The guy has a ton of talent.
first of all jordan is a better whaaaat?? defender watch this link and then talk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoyPZDCzrXM) Secondly learn to trust who, what teammates, the ones where he passed them the ball at the second half of game 7 and they were confused, he passes they what is he doing, he shoots massive points they say he is hogging what do u want from this guy. Thirdly kobe in his career had the most assist to shaq.
WTF!! I can put together a highlight reel of Pierce, TMac, Lebron, Walker...etc of them "playing" defense. MJ is far Superior to Kobe defensively. Pippen is also!
j4yforu, you obviously never saw MJ play as a Bull. He'd smoke Kobe. Kobe is good but MJ is well, MJ. You Kobe lovers enjoy Kobe's 55 against a 40-year-old MJ-Wizards team. Idiots!
Who said to take it easy on a 40-year-old? No one. Hey...when Kobe is way past his prime and some kid is torching him...I don't want to hear you crying.
the reason mj was highlighted soo much was cuz there was not that much competition, there was but not like (carmelo, lebron, wade, pierce, iverson, tmac, francis, etc) they are all competitors with kobe, but kobe has to raise that bar even more with 81 points, now thats a G
What are you, 13 years-old? Carmelo, Lebron and Wade are just 3rd year guys. MJ played against better; Wilkins, Drexler, Thomas, Bird, Magic, Payton, Barkley, Stockton...etc
or shaq or hell even some garbage guy like dwayne wade

I love Kobe, think he's the second best player ever. But you can't argue with these
Jordan:
1986-87: 37.1 ppg, 48% from field, 2.9 steals per game.
87-88: 35 ppg, 53.5% from field (incredible).
88-89: 32.5 ppg, 53.8% from field (godlike), 8 rebounds, 8 assists
89-90: 33.6 ppg, 52.6% from field
90-91: 31.5 ppg, 53.9% from field.
Definitely a better scorer (player) than Kobe.
