Jordan vs Kobe - whatever you can do, I did it better.

[MrKobeClutchBryant]

REMEMBER KWAME BROWN? ADMA MORRISON? LOL

[MrKobeClutchBryant]

I DONT CARE WHO MICHAEL JORDAN WAS HE'S JUST ONE OF THE WORST TEAM OWNERS IN THE LEAGUE TO ME

[MrKobeClutchBryant]

KOBE IS THE BEST IN THIS GENERATION THAT'S WHAT IT MATTERS

[24jhunory]

Michael Jordan has been the universal measuring device in appraising greatness. The overpowering magnificence of Jordan, the athlete and cultural phenomenon, has had such a profound effect on global society that descriptions of athletes, artists, business executives and Christmas decorations as "The Michael Jordan of [the sport, the art, the business, the magnum Nativity scene in the neighborhood]" are now common.

[24jhunory]

KOBE Being the BEST THERE IS IN THIS GENERATION, I think there should be NO DEBATE OVER THAT FACT....But when someone claims that Kobe is "the greatest player of all time and is better that HIS AIRNESS, then that's where they are wrong... MICHAEL JORDAN IS MICHAEL JORDAN....NO DEBATES, HE IS IN ANOTHER LEVEL..KOBE IS CLOSE BUT STILL....NOT THERE.

[hudafarooqui]

i can find some shots michael jordan missed 2 and your showing videos of mj in his prime and kobe when he is not in his prime any more

[VinmanMJ23]

@hudafarooqui True, but kobe is only a 45% shooter for his career. He scored 10 points on 5-for-18 shooting in his last game. Even as a washed-up Wizard, I don't think MJ had such a poor performance.

[m0na333]

kobe is no doubt a great player, but Michael Jordan in his career was the greatest......and will always be.....

[Dipset101x]

No doubt Jordan is GOAT. And he is my favorite player ever. But I still like Kobe, quite a bit. My 2nd fav ever

[austinF25]

I think kobe is the best player in the nba right now and MJ is the best EVER. But i do have a problem with this vid. It shows kobe's mistakes....lol everyone has mistakes. Jordan isn't 100% from the field in clutch shots. Jordan has missed lay ups before AND dunks lol. Honestly there's nothing Jordan did that kobe can't or hasn't from a skillset standpoint. Accomplishment wise Jordan is more decorated, which he should be. Jordan gets my vote because he made him and his team better each year.

[myquill23]

This is great! Well done!

Indeed, a lot of young people had no idea what Kobe had to go through to be the player that he is today.

[TheSands83]

Kobe shot 6-24 in a game 7 of nba finals n got bailed out by teamates n refs letting l a shoot 21 free throws n 4 th quarter i e sacramento nuf said

[FnaticCs]

este vídeo no muestra el tapon de kobe a michael o el in your face, video fack!

[DimitarDamqnov]

The defence now with players like Wade,James,Artest and other, and the defence before 15 years... that's the difference !

[yangyang2000]

@DimitarDamqnov have got to be kidding me...90s game was much more physical both inside and on the perimeter

[kingchaos71]

kobes my favorite player but i and even kobe knows that MJ was better.Kobes said it before

[1968joseleon]

jordan 5 seasons, 6 finals mvp > kobe 1 season mvp, 2 finals mvp

[TheYoshibeast1]

this video is dumb just showing kobe missing shots and Jordan made shots doesn't prove anything. one kobe didn't just learn from Jordan people win are Jordan cock suckers wanna say that if you really no you would no kobe learned from his father as a kid and later was influenced by magic get your facts straight. and for mid range shooting kobe wins hands down everyone player and great legend will agree kobe is the best jump shooter.

[Ronjourelreyes]

go to either Kobe or MJ about stats, see if they care. champions are champions enough said

[qwertyuiopash719]

this video is crapp.

[bigmike132]

I just tied the score for LIKES and DISLIKES. lol

[BENKATOK]

LeBron has done better than either of them. Hands down!

[Ronjourelreyes]

@BENKATOK LMAO better? Lebron is an amazing athlete but be serious. but i won't be a dick lebron is a good player and hater or not you can't take that away from him

[mrkareem1975]

This video was produced by a fucking idiot....y dont show their last game...u know 4o something at half, about 8 threes in a row. You will never produce footage of a move MJ has done that Kobe is not STILL fucking doing gong into his 16th season.

[uberathlete]

Kobe has had the benefit of playing his entire career under more relaxed modified rules. People seem to forget about this. So comparisons are a bit apples to oranges. There is actually a stat that highlights the incredible increase in scoring by top perimeter players when the full extent of modified rules was implemented in 2004.

[MsFuckduck]

Ok, you showed Jordan making a 3 and Kobe missing one as if Jordan is the better shooter. Actually, Kobe is the better 3 point shooter.

[uberathlete]

@MsFuckduck Yep, he's the better 3 point shooter, though the gap is quite exaggerated. MJ is the better midrange shooter. In the years MJ was looking to shoot the 3 (three or more attempts per game ; note that he averaged just 1.6 attempts per game his entire career), he actually shot a better percentage than Kobe.

[smokeythegoldfish]

if u are 17 and ur defensive assignment is michael jordan...u are doing something right, whether he scores on u or not.

[MrKiki809]

lol bunch of haters! Kobe is clearly no MJ but is the closest player to him! Who doesn't wanna be like MJ anyways? i bet all of you's would. why don't you put videos of both players in a positive way. just a bunch of wanna be " NBA " fans. dum kids

[MrKiki809]

sorry, he was beaten by the Bucks and swept by the celtics twice!

[MrKiki809]

They both needed stars to win, just as people are always talking about Kobe needed Shaq, well Jordan needed Pippen! Jordan is a playoff career wise 1-9 without Pippen! and before Pippen was beaten by boston, swept by the Bucks i believe and crushed by the pistons. Pippen was a more successful player than MJ in playoffs so before we start pointing fingers, lets talk about both players first. i still think MJ is the greatest ever than when its all set and done, Kobe is gonna be right behind him!

[daveberg69]

@MrKiki809 - Erm, Pippen was no-where near a a more successful player in the playoffs. Jordan destroys him in every stat line possible, go look it up. It was never really 'Jordan' losing in the playoffs, it was his sub par team that was around him that led to the Bulls early failures, Jordan was still lighting up opposing teams, but his team mates couldn't get it done to support him.

[MrKiki809]

@daveberg69 Pippen didn't have jordan stats but was a more successful player record wise in the playoffs. yet with all those stats he averaged and all those big numbers he is 1-9 WITHOUT PIPPEN! that proves and says many things. he got beaten by bucks and swept twice by boston and DESTROYED by the Pistons. Once Pippen came, they 3 peated. wasn't it with Pippen they finally beat the Piston i believe? Point is, MJ needed Pippen and its very obvious that he did.

[MrKiki809]

@daveberg69 also when jordan left, Pippen lead bulls to a 50plus wins and playoffs!

[AllKobe24]

@daveberg69 I don't understand why you would even compare them. Jordan was the best then. Kobe is the best now. I have Kobe #4 All Time on my list, and if he could win another championship, possibly pick up a few more awards then he truly would be right behind Jordan as #2 All Time.

[mookeychase0907]

@daveberg69 No question perfectly stated nobody comes right in and starts winning rings it takes time and when you are a lottery pick chances are you are on a sh***y team therefore you're not going to win a ring until the team gets better. MJ's championship years playoff numbers are bananas. MJ had a mental side to this a thing that most of us will never understand.A dude named coach Chris made a video telling why MJ is better than KB it shows the triangle and how he understood it.

[31mheng]

@MrKiki809 dats ryttttttttttt

[TheCMac24]

Wussup with this damn song -___- and this video is very biased.

[daveberg69]

@TheCMac24 - You don't see the irony of using the song 'man in the mirror'? As in, Kobe has emulated Michael for almost his entire career?

Of course the Video is biased. It's meant to be. Most Kobe fans live and die by video clips as their argument for saying Bryant is the bets of all time, this video shows just how one sided clips can be.

[6666hellkiller]

I'm fed up with people always comparing jordan to bryant. Its true, micheal jordan is a better player than kobe bryant, BUT it does not make kobe a bad player by any standard. they have some similarities between their playstyles, but kobe is kobe and jordan is jordan just stop the comparisons its getting anoyying. best basketball player of all time is jordan. Kobe Bryant is an amazing basketball player. Thats all there is to it.

[xomgxboyx]

man i know how u feel about them being fed up, but mj himself said that kobe has what it takes to top him some day, u say no but i say... SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE SHOWING OFF OF THE NBA STARS xD!

[FANJG24]

The MVP award has always been overrated, and these days it is not given to the best player in the league (Kobe, LeBron, Nowistki, etc...), but rather to the player that is "Most Valuable" to his team. (In this case, Derrick Rose)

[daveberg69]

Lol at all the Kobe lovers in here CLEARLY missing the point of this video and getting all defensive as usual.

Always makes me laugh when people label you as a dicksucker or cockrider for not liking something they do. Shows just how ignorant some people are.

This video is to illustrate that highlights are BIAS. Anyone can string together clips of players scoring all day and then claim that person is the greatest ever, most KB fans live by those clips, and ignore the downside of his game

[morencysarah]

@daveberg69 Clips have nothing to do wit man kobe is great and jordan is great but all you fans base whos better between the two on what you see and what the media tells you but if ur a real ball player which im pretty sure most of the people who comment on these videos are not including urself. You can argue the case for kobe against jordan any day. He's been the best ball player over this last decade period. Jordan had his time like every ball player b4 him but right now its kobe's time.

[madmaxx350]

@daveberg69 So Michael had no downside to his game?

[xXdeathimpactXx]

@daveberg69 I don't ignore the down side of kobe..

[yj2c07]

Totally man 100% agreement

[Rainl3ss]

All i can say is if you just show all the good parts from the guy you like, might as well go suck his balls. Come on face the truth.

[yj2c07]

On second thoughts this dude is a mj dicksucker as well

[yj2c07]

Well this video is obviously made by a Kobe hater...no need to argue man Kobe is the present mj is the past they cant lay each other so we will never know the truth

[abc123aidabc]

where is the highlights of kobe dropping 55 on michael jordan?

[Moneyshotdrama7]

Kobe changed his number to 24 to show that he is one level above Jordan!

[vitalcoordinates]

As of now, lebron has the number against kobe, but still no ring.

[wphilly67]

showing a missed shot and a lay-up is one of his failures. you're a dickhead

[MsFuckduck]

This video is horrible. You showed MJ making a gamewinner and then Kobe missing one. What does that prove you unbelievable rat?

[daveberg69]

@MsFuckduck This video is only horrible to fans who refuse to believe the cold hard facts that Michael Jordan is and always will be a better player than Kobe.

It's obviously got under your skin, because you had to resort to insulting me to try and get a point across. Typical Kobe fan.

And what does it prove? It shows us what stats tell the entire basketball world = Jordan 56% in game winning situations, Kobe only 27%

[MsFuckduck]

@daveberg69 What does it prove? Kobe most game winning attempts in the history of the NBA. I see you don't take much into consideration. So why did you make this video? What are you resorting to? What has gotten under your skin to make you do this.

[daveberg69]

@MsFuckduck - You just said it yourself = most game winning ATTEMPTS. Attempts mean nothing, makes are what counts.

Oh, by the way, Kobe also holds the record for most missed shots in an NBA career in history.

Again, this video is to illustrate what most real fans of the sport already know, Jordan is the greatest of all time.

[MsFuckduck]

@daveberg69 Dumbass, yeah he has a worse percentage because he takes more attempts. Are you that much of an idiot? Ok, so he has a bad shot selection, but then again he also has 5 championships and the time scorer in Lakers history. Yeah, Kobe sucks.

[daveberg69]

@MsFuckduck - But by taking having more attempts, he has the chance to have a higher percentage, but doesn't namely Because he has some of the worst shot selection in NBA history, hence Kobe holding the record for some of the worst shooting games in the history of the NBA.

And I never said Kobe sucks, I simply said Jordan is the greatest of all time. Huge difference.

[wphilly67]

WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF VIDEO IS THIS. THIS DUMB AS SHIT YOU FUCKING IDIOT. LIKE KOBE NEVER HIT A BUZZARD BEATER OR MADE A LAY -UP? TERRIBLE VIDEO BITCH JUST TERRIBLE

[daveberg69]

@wphilly67 - Another Kobe fan showing their true colours?

You guys all praise Kobe when you watch his hundreds of highlights on youtube, but you suddernly can't accept the other end of the spectrum when presented with his failures?

[tehelol1]

@daveberg69 He will never be Jordan. I agree. But he will be Kobe. The Greatest of All Time in this period.

[wphilly67]

@daveberg69 and im a jordan fan too bitch

[daveberg69]

@wphilly67 - What's with all the hostility? You mad because someone doesn't share your opinion? Suck it up. That's life, deal with it.

[robberealsr1982]

Dumb as hell

[CaliAhjee24]

I mean if you guys really wanna compare stats to any random era, compare Chamberlain's Or The Big O's To M.J.'s.. There Stats Were Much More Superior.. Was Jordan Ever In The History Of His Career Able To Drop 81+, prime or not, in our era? Chamberlain couldn't even do that.. KB24 is the only player in the history of the game that was able to drop 80+ in this era.. PERIOD.. its not even a debate.. Phil said himself that he believes Kobe is a much more skiled player than m.j. ever was..

[kileer7]

@CaliAhjee24 Nah, you don't compare stats from the 50s to today, the pace was faster and the talent pool was smaller. If you're looking to compare players you do it from 1978 to today which is the modern era, however, you wouldn't know that since you're not a basketball fan, but a Kobe fan.

[daveberg69]

@CaliAhjee24 - Actually, when ALL the stats in basketball are laid on the table, Jordan has better numbers than Chamberlain. Look it up. Jordan leads everyone in ALL TIME scoring ppg, and all time scoring in the playoffs.

Kobe dropped 81 in a weak era against the worst defensive team in the league. Jordan dropped 63 against one of the greatest teams of all time, in the playoffs. Something Kobe has proven he can't do, most of his big games come against teams with losing records.

[tHeMaN998rocks]

@CaliAhjee24 hey genius. he scored 81 against the one of the worst teams in the nba. while jordan scored 63 against the boston celtics and larry bird, if that was the raptors jordan would have had a 100 plus and if kobe was against them he would have gotten less than half.

[CaliAhjee24]

@tHeMaN998rocks nahh i don't belive m.j. would've ever scored over 81 in his entire career.. but honestly we shouldn't debate it.. the ZEN MASTER has spoken.. phil knows more about basketball than Jordan And Kobe combined.. we can't argue that.. those words were spoken directly out of phil's mouth.. Kobe is the better scorer, and he is more skilled.. but as a better all-around player? jordan is the greatest of all-time, no doubt.. but sertain aspects in the game, kobe comes out more superior

[CaliAhjee24]

@tHeMaN998rocks nahh i don't belive m.j. would've ever scored over 81 in his entire career.. but honestly we shouldn't debate it.. the ZEN MASTER has spoken.. phil knows more about basketball than Jordan And Kobe combined.. we can't argue that.. those words were spoken directly out of phil's mouth.. Kobe is the better scorer, and he is more skilled.. but as a better all-around player? jordan is the greatest of all-time, no doubt.. but *certain aspects in the game, kobe comes out more superior

[daveberg69]

@CaliAhjee24 - Funny, that self same interview from phil, he spends one sentence talking about Kobe and the rest of the time about many better qualities MJ has.

Kobe is not the better scorer. All his big games have come against teams with losing records and weak defense. Plus Jordan was averaging the same numbers at 40 as Kobe is now, at 33, that says alot.

Kobe fans come talk to me when he averages 40 plus points a game in the FINALS, or holds the highest scoring avg in history.

[tHeMaN998rocks]

@CaliAhjee24 are you kidding me? jordan wouldve have scored 100 plus against the raptors, they suck!

[vitalcoordinates]

@CaliAhjee24 phil also said jordan would average 50ppg in this era.

[BENKATOK]

Kobe is a lil' bit better shooter but LeBron is the better player.

[kileer7]

@BENKATOK LeBron is the better shooter. Look at their FG% from 16-23 ft, and 3pt%.

[shaqdaddywhenidougie]

the zone defense and the 3 second violation is actually designed to keep POST PLAYERS outside the lane. not perimeter players. imagine if michael jordan had to shoot threes because of zone? that wouldn't go so well. kobe is a better shooter than MJ. so eras dont have anything to do with whose better, in fact kobe's era is WAY tougher than MJ's era. kobe is the best player to play the game. just look at all his clips.

[daveberg69]

@shaqdaddywhenidougie - Clips are bias. People viewing highlights all day are under the false assumption that the player in question is better than he actually is, I've proven how bias clips can be by posting a video showing all of Kobe's misses. You want facts? You have to roll with the numbers.

Kobe is not a better shooter than Jordan, this is a myth and product of the opinion of the younger NBA fan base. Jordan shot better FG% in both 2's and also 3's (in the post season.)

[kileer7]

@shaqdaddywhenidougie 2009-2010 66% of Kobe Bryant's points came from inside of 15 feet and free throws combined, apparently zones have not forced player to take outside shots. Kobe's playing a weak era under rules designed to open the game up for perimeter players, and he still can't produce at MJ's level.

[ZanderDisaster]

Last Staple Center appearance for michael: Michael 23, Kobe 55. Nice try. Good one Jordan getting beat by a young kid. kobe finished all over michael's face. anybody can make a video with the one guys worst shots and the others with his good shots.

[kileer7]

@ZanderDisaster Michael Jordan was a fat 40 year old jump shooter playing on two reconstructed knees. "anybody can make a video with the one guys worst shots and the others with his good shots." you do realize that the entire point of this video is to illustrate that, don't you?

[MIKESOWELL]

@kileer7 That guy is another idiot who takes one game and try to define overall legacy behind it. Then he even fails to show that Jordan really didn't even guard Kobe for most of the game.

[kileer7]

@ZanderDisaster Why does Kobe miss 54% of his shots? Why does he miss 70% of his game winning attempts? Why does he miss 60% of his shots in the Finals? Why did a 40 year old MJ (02-03) play better defense than a 32 year old Kobe Bryant (10-11)? Why did a 40 year old MJ put up Kobe's career averages playing for the Wizards? SMH zone defense, 3 second violation, & clear-path-to-the-basket fouls (new) were implemented to open the game up for perimeter players, & yet Kobe still can't match MJ.

[kileer7]

@kileer7 typo: new variant of clear-path-to-the-basket-foul

[MIKESOWELL]

@ZanderDisaster You fucking idiot, Kobe was not a "young kid," but an entering his prime 24 year old. Jordan was a washed up 40 year old ballplayer. And if you actually WATCHED that game, you would know that Jerry Stackhouse actually was primarily guarding Kobe, not Jordan. In fact it was Stackhouse, Tyronn Lue, and a past his prime Byron Russell. I don't even remember Jordan guarding him except for a few plays.

[blackadam06]

@MIKESOWELL

Actually MJ did switch over & guard him in the 2nd half of that game, and held him to 1-13 shooting LOL!!

[MIKESOWELL]

@blackadam06 That would explain why Kobe scored 42 in the first half, but only 13 in the second. I didn't recall Jordan guarding him that much, but I know you would remember. We both know that Kobe tries to bully the weakest links. Old man Jordan still showed him he could get it done on defense LOL.

[blackadam06]

@MIKESOWELL

Shaq is what OPENED UP the floor for him to get off those 8 3ptrs in that game, which allowed him to score like that.

But kobe homers SHOULD be asking: how come he couldn't do that @ the game in Washington that season?

ANSWER: No Shaq in that game

The Wiz didn't have to double/triple the post, which allowed them to better GUARD kobe, and what happened?

Kobe = 27 pts on 13 missed shots (most of his pts were on free throws)

MJ = 25 pts on 5 missed shots (and shot 64%)

[Jthree47693]

@MIKESOWELL 11 of those points came from the free throw line, MJ shut Kobe down that game. And people say Kobe could beat MJ one on one, lmao it's pitiful

[kileer7]

At age 40 MJ was played better defense than Kobe (32) did last season. He basically put up Kobe's career averages in '03 as a fat worn out jump shooter playing for the Wizards.

[RoseRhymes]

Michael Jordan is still the best player of the world.

[Da2Duke4]

yo ima big kobe fan but that was hilarious. good editing towards the end.

[kb24gasol9]

kobe and jordan = 2 great player

but i have to give kobe the edge due to the fact that he play in a much harder time....

[99ownage9]

@kb24gasol9 Late 80's early 90's basketball makes what we have now soft as fuck. Everyone in the Nba fakes a foul even when they don't get touched..

[kb24gasol9]

@99ownage9 just because of a few players who do so doesnt make NBA now days soft.... Kobe has to face a much more developed NBA defense (zone)

[blackadam06]

@kb24gasol9

How many times do U ignorant kobe homers have to get owned B4 getting it?

"Perhaps the biggest confusion of all was the [tougher] illegal-defense rule to [combat zone defenses]."

-- George Vecsey: "Sports Of Times: Combating Hand-checks The World Over"; NY Times, Nov 6, 1994

"Our teams are [zoning] now. Rule or [no rule]. We're not allowed to use the word `zone' but [it's a zone]"

-- Dick Motta: "A Twilight Zone: "The NBA has this rule about illegal defense"; Associated Press, 1996.

[kb24gasol9]

@blackadam06 look in the end i can assure u kobe will end with a better carrier than mj

[kileer7]

@kb24gasol9 You're a moron, further you're incapable of critical thought. So rather than waste the time of individuals with twice your intelligence go jerk off to a Kobe Bryant poster.

[kb24gasol9]

@kileer7 id rather ur mom jerk me

[kileer7]

@kb24gasol9 Kobetards are unparalleled in arrogance and stupidity.

[kb24gasol9]

@kileer7 lol.. your calling me stupid?

i bet you haven't graduated high school, while i go to USC and am a major in LAW

[kileer7]

@kb24gasol9 You're pathetic. 

[max6413]

@kb24gasol9 I am always amused by those with such fragile little egos that they feel the need to point out where they attend school. First off it is "you're" and not "your". Earlier you spelled career as "carrier". I am happy for you, because if it is one thing the world needs, it is more dumbass lawyers.

[kb24gasol9]

@max6413 either way ill be making more money then you can imagine..... SAD how a person can be all brave and tough hiding behind a computer screen, in reality u probably still live in ur moms basement

[daveberg69]

@kb24gasol9 - Clearly not a major in basketball history though, huh dude. No offense.

[kb24gasol9]

@daveberg69 yup

[blackadam06]

@kb24gasol9

Yeah...and he'll also win 8 more scoring titles & every other individual accolade NEEDED just to equal MJ in his mid to late 30s, when he was NEVER able to do ANY of this in his prime LOL!!

kb24gasol9 = typical dumb kobe homer

[blackadam06]

@kb24gasol9

Lets see..

"Our rules are [focused] on keeping the middle [open] to offer [more opportunities] for players to [cut & penetrate] to the basket. When we [disallowed] the use of the [hand & forearm] to the [body], the [defensive 3-second rule] in [conjunction] with the [hand check] interpretation, [gave] offensive players on the [perimeter], [more] offensive [freedom]."

-- Stu Jackson; NBA Exec. VP of Operations; "Season Review with Stu Jackson", May 5, 2007

Try again moron...

[blackadam06]

@kb24gasol9

And with ALL of those facts I just presented, you'll continue to imply that MJ didn't face zones & that the league somehow is harder, when BOTH teams & perimeter players are scoring MORE under these new rules..SMH

kb24gasol9 = typical uninformed, ignorant ass kobe fan-boy

[kb24gasol9]

@blackadam06 PHIL JACKSON admitted himself that kobe is more skilled than jordan.... jordan played alongside 3 all stars while kobe had teammates like kwame brown

[kb24gasol9]

@kb24gasol9 heres a link for u

bleacherreport (.) com/articles/509984-kobe-bryan­t-why-hes-already-better-than-­michael-jordan

[kileer7]

@kb24gasol9 Get back to me when Kobe wins 8 more scoring titles, 3 steals titles, 4 Finals MVPs, posts 2 season averaging 200 steals & 100 blocks, converts on 50% of his game winners, shoots over 50% for one season, produces at least one dominant Finals performance, becomes the all time career leader in player efficiency rating, & win shares per 48 minutes while playing in the most stacked era in the history of the NBA under rules designed to curtail perimeter players from attacking the basket.

[kb24gasol9]

@kileer7 ok i will

[CaliAhjee24]

@kileer7 yeah those stats are amazing; but today the game is much more tougher.. lets be honest here.. do you honestly think players like Bird would be able to compete with players like LeBron James? LeBron would tear players like Jordan apart; all honesty.. The game has changed for the better.. The 90s Era Was A THing Of The Past..

[kileer7]

@CaliAhjee24 The irony is that today's era is rather weak, especially on defense. "LeBron would tear players like Jordan apart; all honesty" I mean, a 40 year old MJ averaged Kobe's career averages in 2003, now what do you think he would do in his prime? It's rather interesting you would even bring up Larry Bird and ask a silly question about if he could deal with LeBron, when Larry dealt with MJ, Dominique Wilkins, Dr. J, et. al who are phenomenal athletes.

[daveberg69]

@kb24gasol9 - Clearly the person writing the article has no idea about just how high up in the STRATOSPHERE Jordan's numbers are compared to Kobe......

[kileer7]

@daveberg69 *Kobe homer-esque logic* Kobe came into the league in '96, at the time MJ was still playing for the Bulls. I decided to compare MJ's last two seasons playing for the Bulls to Kobe's 15 year NBA career. In MJ's last two seasons as a Bull he won two scoring titles, was a league MVP, won two championships, and was awarded two Finals MVPs. It took Kobe nearly 15 years to match MJ's '96-97 & '97-98 seasons.

[Jthree47693]

@kileer7 I read this and loled, you are absolutely correct I never realized this

[blackadam06]

@kb24gasol9

He also said that BJ Armstrong was the "best" point guard in the NBA in '93 and that Horace Grant was a "better rebounder" than Charles Oakley, when he NEVER had 1 season avg'n more rebs than Oak, so that comment has 0 merit.

How can 1 guy be "more skilled" at anything than the next guy, when he CONSISTENTLY fairs WORE at it than him?

That's retarded!

And it's kobe (not MJ) that played with "8" different guys who avg'd in double figures during his pre-title & title seasons.

[blackadam06]

@kb24gasol9

And what 3 All Stars did MJ play with?

Pippen was the only constant during their title runs, and he wasn't even an All Star during the 1st & last titles.

Rodman was NEVER an All Star during ANY of their title runs U ignorant clown!!

Kobe's the 1 that LITERALLY played on a team that had 4 All Stars (including himself) 1 season, or did U forget that?

[blackadam06]

@kb24gasol9

And speaking of Phil Jackson:

"Kobe has [patterned himself] after Michael. It's one thing to [hope to be] like him, it's another thing to [be] like him. I'm with ESPN's Bill Simmons on this, we have to [take] Michael out of the equation. [Stop] comparing [anyone] to Michael Jordan. It's just not fair. Kobe [doesn't even shoot] the same [percentage] as Michael. He's [not] the same player."

@kb24gasol9 LOL! You truly are incapable of critical thought.

[daveberg69]

@kb24gasol9 Kobe played with: Shaq. Robert Horry. Glen Rice. Dennis Rodman. Ron Harper. Eddie Jones. Karl Malone. Gary Payton. Pau Gasol...... You KB fans seem to forget A LOT of important facts huh.

@kb24gasol9

He also said that BJ Armstrong was the "best" pt guard in the league in '93, and that Horace Grant was a "better" rebounder than Charles Oakley, despite the fact that Grant NEVER had 1 season of better reb totals or avg than Oakley.

It's IMPOSSIBLE to be "more skilled" at something than the next guy if you're constantly fairing WORSE at it than him!

That's idiotic!

U can't separate one's production from their level of skill, because they're a DIRECT reflection of each other!

lol Kobe is great but a joke when compared to MJ.

Classic upload - loved it from the second I heard the 'Kobe sucks' chant - awesome work. What's the second last clip of MJ from? Where he's smiling, in some interview from the 80s, with the small stitches or whatever, near his right eye...

[daveberg69]

@rairjordan - Many thanks man.

That's from either 'Playground' or 'Come FLy with me' - I think he was reacting to his Mom talking about his appetite or something - thought it went well with him laughing at Kobe's ridiculous 'angry' face before it.

Points of interest in this vid:

*The ease of which MJ scores on not only KB24, but everyone else.

*Bryant refusing to give the ball up.

*Bryant emulating Jordan (Hillarious)

*LBJ not even flinching at KB24's headfake fadeaway.

*MJ double clutching against 2/3 defenders including Larry Bird.

*MJ Enjoying the game.

*The seperation MJ gets on his fadeaways compared to KB24.

*MJ calmer and more under control in the clutch.

kobe is better than jordan

[daveberg69]

@halobu32 - That's one of the funniest things i've ever heard. I think you'll find, if you do some research - Jordan is superior to Kobe in almost 95% of all basketball categories. Proven fact.

@daveberg69 Yeah, I litreally laughed out loud when I read that comment.
