If I have to hear one more Kobe VS Jordan debate, I'm gonna throw up! Get over it and appreciate both of thier games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS - Shut up
everyone says lebron is better than jordan which is wrong because lebron is talented but michael jordan had to face hall of fame talent in their prime like isiah and magic larry bird charles barkley the mountain was much more higher for jordan than it was for lebron
well, Shaq was dominating with his body, all that mass. Just push everyone out of the way and dunk it. Olajuwon was dominating only couple of seasons. MJ was doing day in day out.
Also those kids thinking that todays stars are better than stars from 20 years ago, well, just watch a full game of 1992 Eastern Conference Semifinals between Bulls and Knicks, or couple of years before that between bulls and pistons. Not a highlight reel, but full games ;) You'll see the real defence.
I know the defense was better and 100x more physical Dwight Howard, Lebron James, Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant, and even Dwade would be bitching for free throws everytime they stepped in the Paint. lol
Aye pantherfan85, so u think jibes gunna average 37 PTA a game and time soon? Fuck off u dumbass, NOBODY WILL EVER EVER HAVE ANYTHING ON JORDAN, not the mix of athleticism and creativity ever to be seen again. And if some chance we actually do? Then u know who the dude copied
Great video. The 1992´s was the only one dream team. I´m searching for CLYDE DREXLER video NBA SUPERSTARs 2, but I can´t find. Does anyoneknow where I can find?
Kobe Bryant: "I'm not Michael Jordan. There'll never be another Michael Jordan. He's the greatest player of all time, and nobody can fill his shoes. PERIOD!"
I remember when I was watching this clip on my VCR to death, I ruined my tape due to excessive slow motion all MJ sequence long. Those are memories we never forget. Also I believe this is the best MJ short video
You're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm saying the same thing you are. As n He's the greatest all time...Period. End of story. No if and buts about it. There will never be anyone better than Jordan.
Now that I FEEL and I respect.. When I see these young kids running their mouths talking about Kobe Bryant is the best ever. Complete lunacy. Kobe would have been a GOOD player in that era not a great one. Their are no more great defenders in the league BUT in that era you had men.. no superstars who could score and handcuff you too. It brings tears to my eyes to see how watered down this league has become. High School players wouldnt dare come out for they knew their skill level was not on par.
LoL? Today Kobe has the same body Michael had and hes just regular. In that time Jordan had the perfect body. Today for u to have the perfect body u must have LeBron James body , man. Don't trip. Kobe in that era would adapt to the game just as Jordan did. He wouldn't get to his level , that he won't do , but he would be great just like he's today.
And before u think i don't know there's no more handcheck and 3s in the paint , i tell u : in that time zone defense couldn't be perfomed. Therefore it was much easier to drive to the basket. Kobe's already said that in an interview and a lotta jornalists agree to him. He misses the time where he could get to the basket all the time he wanted. Kobe's the most double-teamed player in the history of the game , that's a fact.
Just remembering u , i think MJ's a lot better than him.
What!!! The fact you are letting know about double-teamed is a joke. Michael used to be covered the same way, because man to man was completely unstopable. Kobe is good but never like Mike. In the same era Kobe would be good but he won´t be like Mike. JORDAN is too far from him, from them... This guy took over the league. NBA HISTORY LEADER IN POINtS PER GAME state this opinion. ZONE DEFENSE is easier, it gives you a better shoot position, if you are not a good shooter, that´s another story.
"Last season, Jordan had to [overcome] the harassment of [zone traps] and [double & triple teaming] to win the scoring title by averaging 37.1 points a game"
-- NY Times, Nov 4, 1987
"Perhaps the biggest confusion of all was the tougher [illegal-defense] rule to [combat zone defenses.]"
-- Rod Thorn; former VP of Operations; "The Sports of Times 1994: Combating hand-checks the world over"
"[Zones] were also used [frequently] before they were [legalized] as well. One example, the 80s Celtics were known [users] of it & always got away with it. These are the same Celtics Jordan destroyed from an individual standpoint."
-- NY Times, Feb 29, 2009
Versions of "zone 'D" have LONG been in the NBA B4 it was "legalized in '05. Besides, today's version isn't even a REAL zone because the def 3-sec rule PREVENTS it from being one LOL!!
And lastly, another noticeable effect of the rules change, is the DECREASE in ball movement.
Teams are running MORE high screen-n-roll, which leads to MORE "1-on-1" play now, than there EVER WAS in MJ's era. One way of PROVING this is to simply look at the stark DECREASE in "team" assists per game.
This facet of team play dramatically DROPPED, and is SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER than it was during the mid 80's thru the 90's & that's a FACT!
@blackadam06...Zones were illegal in the NBA back then (when Jordan was playing), not to mention that the zones that they're talking about in the newspaper quotes, were not the same zones that they currently played in college. A lot of teams used to "cheat" by double and triple-teaming Jordan off the ball, but the illegal defense rule prevented teams from triple teaming Jordan beyond the free throw stripe when he didn't have the ball. Thank goodness for this rule!
Go past that link in & listen to this conversation MJ had with a reporter after a win:
Reporter: "Mike you came out the locker room with great guns..9 for your first 9"
MJ: "I shot the ball well & got some good looks. They went into a [zone] early, which [gave me] 2 [good looks], and I kinda' got into a good rhythm from there."
MJ faced MORE of a zone in his era because there was no defensive 3-sec rule keeping the Bigs outta the paint..
@tidslaker@tidslaker Actually you are dead wrong. Phil Jackson has stated that Jordan was stronger and had better physical attributes than Kobe (MJ had much bigger hands-even than Lebron), he was one of the fastest 6'6 guys in the history of the league (again much much faster than Kobe). Lebron cant do an MJ free throw dunk so dont go on about him being a 'better athlete' than Jordan. Yes he is taller, heavier and stronger but he is also less agile and doesnt have Jordans vertical.
Dude you said it... NBA ´S rules let bad players be regular, regular players be good... and good players be superstars.
What an NBA... Just check NBA ALL STAR GAMES, the same... Theres´s no one like Mike. When Michael got the ball, something amazing happened in BASKETBALL, not only NBA.
mj captivated,fascinated,spellbound and mesmerized everyone because of his skill and his carisma, his love to the game of basketball thats why im considering him as the ultimate athlete in the game of basketball. from his number one fan.
Jajaja... check out the from the minute 1:12 to 1:17... can Kobe, Lebron, T-Mac and others do that? NOOOO... Ánd that´s only part of the skills he had on the court. When he got the ball something amazing happened not in NBA... in basketball. Kobe is good but he´s not even close to legends like Larry Bird and Magic. Don´t pretend to compare Kobe with the one who is beyond to them.
miner, penny, hill, carter, now kobe and lebron, all of these kids wanted to play like jordan, obviously, they want to be the best and most spectacular player, and I guess this story will be the same with the future players coming into the nba, we will see more jordan's players, but I'd like to see players having the style of magic, thomas or barkley, that would bring more fun to the fans, but that would be harder to see than the next michael jordan, cause everybody wants to play like him
nobody ever plays like him. Maybe they cant just reach his limit of ending. But how sad it is Jordan will never be the bst ever.
I know there is always someone better and yes almost nobody saw him but i go for the goat. Maybe whem Jordan saw him he's was better too but we never know.
Earl is my man. The story about him hmmm i understan it. Basketball is great but it's not live.......
Not negative too you but i think some more than magic jordan and others. Sorry i got coment on you.............
