IMHO, just the fact that Kobe is so closely tied to Michael Jordan's greatness is sign in and of itself that Kobe is the second greatest player to ever play the game of basketball. We never compare Kobe to Magic, or Kobe to Bird, or Oscar, or even Wilt. i think everyone knows that Kobe is better than the players just mentioned, and the only one in front of him is and always will be MJ....until Kobe wins 7 rings (:
@YungMalThaKid I beg to differ. Kobe is more of a shooter. Jordan is more of an attacker and mid range. Not parallel comparisons because Kobe won 5 titles in 16 seasons. Meanwhile Jordan won 6 in 12 seasons, despite the fact he left to try another sport. In my opinion Kobe is behind Magic. Magic and Jordan effected the game on a level that Kobe will never do. Don't get me wrong, Kobe is a phenomenal player and will always be mentioned in the GREATS of all time.
@slyfiggity i bleav kobe got robbed twice and the 1st time was the reason shaq left and mj never did it w/o pippen but no 1 complained so y have mo of an expectation on sum1 who plays like another...he says he copies mj when he plays and it blatant but he did wat jordan could have dun but neva did thats all
@slyfiggity What did he accomplished?? Well the fact that Kobe is on an era of true athletes and great skills and he still managed to make 4 championships. Not that it was Jordan's fault but by the time Jordan was around there was no athletism greater than his so its obvious he is gonna accomplish all he did. Im not taking away the fact that he would of still been the best now, but the best ever is a title that you can win only in Jordan's era where his skills were no matched.
@xXLuigiMaxXx By you saying jordan didnt face any athletes back then, that reveals to me that your new to this sport and you know nothing about the history of the game.
@xXLuigiMaxXx Heres some "wanna be" athletes Karl Malone John Stockton Jeff Hornecek Sean Kemp Gary Payton Reggie Miller Chris Mullen Magic Johnson Larry Bird James Worthy Dominique Wilkins Isiah Thomas Patrick Ewing John Starks Charles Barkley Chris Mullen Doc Rivers Clyde Drexler Early athletic Shaq lol Tim Hardaway Mark Price Moses Malone ...the list goes on an on...rookie
@slyfiggity jordan deserves praise? the real question is who duznt give him glory,now think who duznt give kobe props i c it as unfair 2 kobe than mj and lebron...on that note he had 2 bring himself up more than jordan and i woodnt "put sum1 down" if they dint "lift them up" 2 hi
i love how the kobe dickriders who know nothing about basketball say kobe is the greatest of all time based solely on the fact that he has a higher scoring game than MJ. MJ had 69-points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block game against the playoff team Cavs. Kobe had 81-points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block game against the 27-win Raptors. Now you dumbasses tell me who's OVERALL performance was better
The worst thing you can do is compare two great players. MJ and Kobe will always be two of the many great basketball players that ever played the game. Its as simple as that.
The thing about Lebron is that he's trying to BE Jordan, by taking his number, and doing everything he can to BE Jordan. While on the other hand Kobe is trying to be himself, and better than Jordan, not trying to be Jordan. Which is why Kobe will always be more respected than Lebron, because Kobe's doin his own thing out there, while Lebron is just trying to be someone he never will be.
@FreshprinceLoudpack Loudpack listen to what the fuck you just said.."Lebron tries to be like Jordan by wearing number 23"Okay Kobe tried his best to speak like MJ during interviews wags his tongue during games and even tries to walk like MJ.Yeah id say he tries his hardest to be MJ as well.
I'm not a huge Kobe fan, but I dont understand why he gets so little respect. he's one of the best players of all time, definitely the best player since Michael and people won't realize his greatness until he's retired probably.
kobe plays in a way tougher era where almost anybody can put up historic numbers not just one person (jordan) plus, now a days...players are bigger, stronger, faster and everybody grew up wanting to be like mike. so with that being said..kobe stands out against the best of the best...he is still secound to jordan tho cuz mj paved the way for kobe..but kobe will be better when he gets 7 rings..until then nope
@TheCommentator2011 if his skill set is higher he's better. And yea numbers dont lie, but they dont tell the whole story. But if you wanna talk BIG numbers Kobe's numbers are prettty damn good and increased alot from when he first came . People forget Kobe didnt start his first season, only averaged 7.9 points. 4 years later 28.5, only played 68 games that season, but the real stat 05-06 season.. 35.4 ppg! in a new era, new defenses that could not contain him. KB has done things we've never seen
@miguel151420 come on man. wilt chamberlain has the most over inflated legacy ever. don't get me wrong, he was an amazingly tall and strong player, but his 100pt game is garbage. it was just a gimmick rite from the beginning.
they're similarities are pretty much the will to win and ability to make big plays when needed.i think Jordan had and edge of getting his teamates to feed of his will and play at a higher level Kobe can do that sometimes and sometimes his teamates lag on him.that and they have a pretty similar jump shot form
What I don't get is why would people who hate Kobe search for and watch videos on youtube about Kobe? I mean I'm a Laker fan, I'm not about to type in Paul Pierce in the search engine and watch his interviews, highlights, or anything related. Why watch someone that bothers me? Kobe is no MJ but that doesn't mean he's not top 10 all time which is still unbelievable. He had the guts to try and be the best of all time, got to respect that.
@camaroman2k8 ya why the hell do people watch his videos if they hate him so much? thats like if they hate gay people and then they go watch gay porn or something..
To be honest, we're not actually on his videos to watch his stuff, we're on his video commenting because we know that's where all the Kobe fans are at and we can get our message to a specified audience much more effectively
Besides, it's not people HATING on Kobe, it's us HATING on KOBE FANS because most of them are stupid and ignorant
Thank you for replying, so I can continue repeating: The LA Rapers... errr Fakers... err Lakers... are OLD, ANCIENT and DINOSAURS. Even Bryant (THE Rapist) is now in his mid-30's, pushing 35. LA GOT RAPED by THE MIGHTY MAVS. (How's it feel Dopey Bryant to have it done to you!). And Plow Gasshole(yeah, that Pau Gasol guy)... The Ugly Geico Caveman Twin... is just plain effing UGLYYYYYYYY!!!
I feel sorry none of us ever bring up BILL RUSSELL HE HAS 11 RINGS. we can talk about jordans 6 rings Kobe's 5 and all the others but BILL RUSSELL HAS 11 FOLKS 11 RINGS ... THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN NEVER
I respect Kobe because he is really a good player. But he isn't a good leader. In Chicago Bulls, 23 leads the ship. In LA Lakers, 24 jumps out of the ship.
Kobe ain't no Jordan. yes! he is a great player, but not surpassing Jordan.
1 thing that separating them. its the heart. u can take Jordan's legs and arms but u can't took out his heart. HE'S WILL TO WIN.
Chicagoeverywhere... You must be the stupidest piece of shit. If you don't think Kobe is one of the greatest to play and you keep on riding Jordan's dick then you can't even speak. Have you not seen the tremendous talent he has? If not then you know nothing about basketball. Gay ass piece of shit.
@deebo484 Deebo i dont get some folks. he sux huh Kobe is Greatness period. That guy just hates the Lakers and Kobe obviously ... thats like saying Tom Brady sux ... what a fucktard
lol best player in the world. are you serious? this dude takes like 47 shots and hits like 8 lol and a bunch of damn free throws. face it.. its over lol how is he the best player in the world if he just got his dick handed to him by the Mavs? Jordan would of went into that game like a man possessed. hes old hes weak and he needs to stop embarrassing himself and retire.
@chicagoeverwhere your an idiot even folks that dont like Kobe say he is great. Every team gets beat... some get slaughtered it happens dude. It should have went better but it didnt they sucked ass that series and got blown tha fuck out but that doesnt mean that kobe sux. When Jordan came to Chicago they didnt win a championship untill his 7th season he was great before then and after that Big effin deal cant win them all. Jordan shot a lot too thats what shooters do duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Not "he's the kobe bryant of that". Did you not watch him shoot 5 of 23 in a game 7 against boston and nearly cost his team a title, or shoot barely 40% against Orlando yet continue to shoot 30 or more shots a game (selfish) or how about not scoring a point in the 4th qtr at home against the mavs till only 3mins were on the clock with his team down. yah super clutch lmao. Or scoring just 23 points in a game that important. Down 2-0 at home mind you to a team thats done nothing but choke in
I actually love greatness, its great to see teams and individuals accomplish things you've never seen. Kobe is extremely selfish (running shaq out of LA for no good reason, demanding a trade out of a mess he made himself even though he is supposedly 'ultra competitive' taking a billion shots even tho his team has more success when he takes on a less role as a scorer) etc etc etc etc. Kobe made a better kobe then he does a Michael. If he had just kept his humble nature and stuck with being....
@Josh4145 oh stop with the humbleness crap ... he is good humble and good stuck up ... and that was shaqs team if shaq wanted to stay he could have shut up him and kobe both and just played basketball lol...
This is the kobe i use to like, the humble kobe, the one who showed respect and acted like kobe and not trying to be someone he's not. These were and always will be his best days. Today he is selfish and only out for #1.
@Josh4145 HELL NO, Kobe is one of the greatest. he isnt selfish hahah he has won 5 championships on his way to a 6th most likely and won them with an array of different team mates and on and on. Just people hate Greatness. I dont like the Yankees but guess what they are greatness. I dont like the NEW England Pats but guess what in the last Decade they are greatness. Kobe is one of the best ever all the other basketball players say so, all of them, and they play with im and against him !!!!
@shogunMR being the best him he could be he'd be much better off. And I never said he wasnt a great player I love watching him play, some of the things he's done few others ever have or will. He is truly an amazing basketball player. But he is NOT anywhere near Jordan's level. He is way over hyped by the media and NBA who has tried relentlessly to convince kids that Kobe is the next Jordan or even on his level. When Bryant's all done people will still say "he's the Michael Jordan of that"
@Josh4145 the media said that, KOBE NEVER DID NOT ONCE ... HE ACTUALLY SAID STOP THE COMPARISONS ... period point blank ... its us and the media ... and if you want to talk rings BILL RUSSELL IS BETTER THAN ANYONE WILL EVER BE BECAUSE HE HAS 11RINGS ... BOTTOM LINE
@shogunMR bottom line is Kobe is fantastic and in a watered down NBA sense about 1999 he has been the best player by far. One of the top 15 or so greatest players of all time. Sure fire HOF. But to put him in a class with a man who was beyond legendary is crazy. Mind boggling even. There is no argument the NBA needs a next Jordan so they advertise the crap out of anyone who plays well. He is overrated and not on the same level as some of the other legends before him but he is a great player
@Josh4145 I feel what your saying. I just hate when people compare the two. Different eras different competition everything is different. Its like comparing Jerry Rice and Randy Moss it aint gonna work. EVEN a 69 chevelle and a 2011 Mustang lol it aint happening times are so different. Kobe to me is great i also hate when people say those champ teams were bc of shaq like jordan did it all alone and no one else was on the court. ughh nice to talk to knowledgeable folks like yaself Josh for real
I'm sorry but MJ was just the beast. Even without the ball in his hands. The guy just had that hunger mentality. Just a beast in so many more ways than Dr.Jay, Kobe, Vince shouldn't have even been in the picture....Lebrons or anyone else. MJ is deserving of Goat title. I enjoy watching him play even when he doesn't have the ball in his hands.
@NBAGOATS Seriously Dude Jordan Said it best "Kobe Byrant is by far thee bast player the league has seen since me, and if he wins mores titles than I he most likely will be thought of as the person who surpassed me, Does it Bother me yes do I respect him Yes Could i beat him 1 on 1 Yes But its not my time its his and lets see where the chips fall he is already one of the greatest..." No Cut it out go sit down with a bottle of Jergens and a poster of MJ !
@biggiejackson Where did Jordan say that? That should be all over youtube if he said that. I've heard Jordan say that Kobe was a better player than Lebron. And that he puts Kobe in his top 11 SGs of all time. I've heard that. You Kobe fags like to add to quotes. You lie and twist the truth for Kobe. Bunch of Kobe whores. Look at Kobe's numbers. Like Kobe ACTUALLY said in real life..."NUMBERS DON'T LIE"
@biggiejackson hahahahah thats the funniest thing i heard all day ... Cut it out and go sit down with a bottle of Jergens and a poster of MJ ... classic .lol hahhahaahahaha
If kobe wants to be like mj or best player something stuff like that, if I am him I going to different team where never experience the championship,you know because lakers had been rings already since 70's 80's under of magic Johnson rule..
@manhin45 How dumb do u sound right now man? reaallllllly trust in the fact when your the Best Laker ever your one of the greatest ever to attain that and move forward...Puhlease man ask them dude on the Celtics what it feels like living under names bigger than your and all u can do is put 1 or 2 up there when they put up 5-6-7-8.... Cut the Hate on #8 FACE IT HE IS GREAT!
What puts Kobe a cut above the Lebron's of the world is his sense of humility and respect of basketball history. And also what he says at the end of this video. That trophy is the whole point and it is captured by the team, he just gets it:) He will never be MJ, but he stopped trying to live in that shadow years ago. I think after he lost against the Pistons in '04 he started becoming the complete individual we see now. Great job 24!
@Hawkhunter07 um Kobe said it Dumbass who dont play like Jordan, He changed the game... Who did Jordan Play like... DR J and Oscar robinson! dam Know ya History both u start posting shit! HISTORY REPEATS IT SELF AND IMPROVES CASE IN POINT JORDAN-KOBE...
but kobe is next on that list...to me...kobe bryant is only second to michael jordan....he is so much fun to watch...kobe being the best since jordan is only my opinion.....but MJ being the best ever is no opinion...it's just the way it is
@MrPlantcity813 thats your opinion.....but i don't agree....
it's easy to compare jordan and kobe cuz they are both SG's, but to throw wilt, russel and shaq in there doesn't really help...but kobe is soo much like jordan...that i don't wanna watch anyone else...he is the total package....such a shame they got swept....all the best to the MVP D-rose and the bulls
@jonnyrisas what about bill russell, julis erving, larry bird, magic johnson, wilt chamberlin, jerry west. is kobe really second on the best players ever?
@mdude66 I understand that...but it is ONLY my opinion
lets say that, kobe is the closest thing to a JORDAN that we have seen....thats my main argument...i won't get into where he is on the all-time list...cuz i don't want to, but he plays a very Jordan like game...no doubt
@jonnyrisas I do believe Magic was better that Jordan. People say Jordan is better, only because he one that finals when magic was on the decline and even retired the next year because of hiv as we all know. The way magic dominated had much more of an impact. And in my opinion, there is no greatest, because there is different eras, styles of play, rules. So, i mean i'd say anyone who actually prevailed and gotta ring is a great in my book.
@MrSodaBelly Getting a double double every game, if not a triple double. Winning a ring like is first and second season, and going on to win five total, which is a feat in it self that jordan achieved with six. And playstyle, you see people like rondo and cp3 and deron williams imitate magic every game with the fake passes, clean dimes, and such. Now don't get me wrong when i say this because jordan is a great, but when you say greatest, you disrespect people that did more than jordan.
@MrSodaBelly Revolutionize shit. Magic and Larry revolutionized the game and are who jordan looked up to in a sense. Oscar robertson avg a triple double over a season jordan aint do that, bill russell has 11 rings, cant count that on 2 hands. Jordan didnt even avg a double double over a season. Wilt scored 100 in a game. If jordan achieved those feats and many others, yeah he'd be the GOAT... too bad he didnt. So for now there is just a long list of greats, not just 1 based on dunks. -.-
@DaWoOdPrInCe Wilt scored 100 pts when his opponents were like midgets. imagine his best nemesis is Bill Russell standing at 6-10. The rest you research them.. how many 7 footers Wilt has to go up against. But the thing is, he scored 30pt ave and above(including his 50 pts ave.) only in 4 seasons while MJ consistently did it for 12 seasons. When the likes of Jabbar etc. entered. Wilt couldn't score like he used to. Also, The Celtics got almost all of the best players in their team. 8 teams ABA.
@DaWoOdPrInCe Looked up to? Wtf are you talking about kid ?
Jordan came in BEFORE the rivalry even started ..
He was the one in the ECF with BOSTON when they were on their way to WIN & face LA .
Thats like sayign Derrick Rose looks up to Lebron because he beat him in the finals...
Fail . Russell Has 11 rings because their were only 8 teams... & also everyone was a gypsy compared to him.. all he had to do was put the ball in the basket .. Russell would be like Yao ming nowadays ......
@dimaggio1324yeah Retard. Russel has 11 ring for a reason. Basketball IS putting the ball in the basket, you dont do it, you dont win, even as important defense is, Wilt did in numbers what he couldnt do in rings. Bill was just lmao epic. I say that there were certain players that were just better than the game. I mean Magic imo revolutionized the game as a 6'9 pg. Look just dont say jordan is the greatest when there are players that did equivalent and better than he did, even if there are few.
@dimaggio1324yeah Oh your really serious about your argument. 8 teams it doesnt matter, he dominated, and put up numbers people we've seen cant touch so did wilt like I said. the rules were more basic, there was no 3 point line you dumbass, and the game was MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE PHYSICAL! or did you forget it? 11 rings. Nuff said. hell kareem was 6. Magic had 5 and didnt bitch and moan at management and even hit steve kerr like jordan did. nor did any of em have hype of nike. GTFO.
If the rules were much more basic your singlehandedly saying he had it easier..
Plus he was taller than any basketball player in the NBA at that time , So physicality wasnt a problem as he could easily step over or around the small white point guards he played against .
11 Rings in a 8 team league full of unskillful whites .
Also Jordan didnt bitch , He motivated his team & IS 100% the reason Nikes even relevant today .
@dimaggio1324yeah Rules were simpler in the aspect of there wasnt a foul everytime the player was touched. and russell was 6"9, 3 inches taller than kobe and jordan and 1 inch taller than lebron and 1 inch shorter than bosh, AND 9 inches shorter than yao. There were players even bigger than him. And in that time you had the be physical because there was no 3 point line.
11 rings and a stat sheet that'll probably ever be touched, and back then they didnt count steals andblocks.
@DaWoOdPrInCe & How tall were the white guards he played against?
Why are you mentioning Jordan & Kobe? There was No Jordan OR Kobe back then , If there was , Russell wouldnt be anything . He played against 5 foot Point guards & only had to face Chamberlain for a short time .
8 team league , Barely any rules, Ha Jordan & Kobe wish they had it made like he did , They'd be 20x champions . As for his mythical "Stat" sheet , He was taller than everyone else , So fouling to grab the ball wasnt hard
@MrSodaBelly magic specialized in passing jordan could pass just as well as magic to but magic was the innovator of flashy passes so he gets credit for doing it first. but he is not a better passer than jordan theire even in that categorie
@DaWoOdPrInCe Johnson was only around 3 to 4 years older than MJ. what the hell are you talking about. Magic has a better team than Michael. Bulls really started from scratch with MIchael. Magic has a 1st pick player in James Worthy, All-time Center Great Kareem, Great role-IQ'd players in Scott and AC green. and the spider like hands of Michael COoper. SO Magic has great leadership, but skill for skill Jordan was the best and how he brought the BUlls to greatness is unparalleled.
kobe ,mj, lebron ...all great players .its silly to argue about the best cause all of them have contributed to the imperfection of the sport we all love, basketball.
stop the comparisons and stop hating and stop with the stats. Just trying to come up with excuses for saying Kobe is not great; regardless he is still great. Just can't accept the fact that Kobe is just too good.
Magic is Better than Michael. Lebron will be better than all of these players discuseed here. Rings will and should not determine if Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson is better than Lebron. Lebron is the total package. Mj - an excellent offensive and defensive player Lebron - great facilitater; scorer ; blocker; steals; rebounder; leader. Lebron at the end of his carrer will be better than Michael
@travaugnrolle Here's the difference. Lebron is so big and so athletic that he can get through any defender and score. Kobe and Michael have to take really difficult shots, but they make them. and both of them have a better will to win than lebron
You know Kobe, Nique, Dr. J, Magic, 'Bron, Bird you name them, none of them are as good as Michael Jordan once was. Dr. J changed the game, Michael put NBA on the map but you can't really compare Dr. J with MJ or Kobe with MJ or whatever. But for me, personally Michael Jordan was and still is the greatest basketball player to ever play. And for me, even better than Dr. J.
@StFuMoThErFuCkEr I look at highlights reels, not at defense. You pick Jordan, cuz his offense AND defense. With offense you win games, with defense you win championships and in the case of Russell: 11 championships, so STFU motherfucker;)
@modernway91 rofl, jodan dnt hav defense? u gotta be shiitin me. nd wat kinda player russell played against? ROFL, only player he faced that was at his height nd level was wilt, nd every1 else just sucked dik.
you know guys kobe he has a little pride when talking about mj... i agree with him that mj is master.... i know hes no. 1 idol is mj,,, imagine hes idol is magic but he ddnt play like magic,, always play like mike mj bcoz he watches mj type all nyt long... if kobe say that mj is my idol maybe kobe is more famost athlete around the word ryt now..
Kobe is a great guy and doesn't eserve all this hate! The only reason why so many hate on him is simply BECAUSE OF HIS OWN RETARDED FANS!!! They are so disrespectful and ignorant, making these childish comparisons to the legend Michael Jordan. He is obviously the god of basketball if you will and even Kobe said himself this comparison is laughable.
.
Same with LeBron's fans. You'll see in a couple years LeBron will get the same hate because fans these days are fucking pricks and talk bullshit.
@Airman32292 Idol.. as in being the player Magic is... Leadership and drive... the love for the game... Remember, you don't copy your idol... They inspire you to bring the best out in yourself ;-)

IMHO, just the fact that Kobe is so closely tied to Michael Jordan's greatness is sign in and of itself that Kobe is the second greatest player to ever play the game of basketball. We never compare Kobe to Magic, or Kobe to Bird, or Oscar, or even Wilt. i think everyone knows that Kobe is better than the players just mentioned, and the only one in front of him is and always will be MJ....until Kobe wins 7 rings (:

@YungMalThaKid I beg to differ. Kobe is more of a shooter. Jordan is more of an attacker and mid range. Not parallel comparisons because Kobe won 5 titles in 16 seasons. Meanwhile Jordan won 6 in 12 seasons, despite the fact he left to try another sport. In my opinion Kobe is behind Magic. Magic and Jordan effected the game on a level that Kobe will never do. Don't get me wrong, Kobe is a phenomenal player and will always be mentioned in the GREATS of all time.

i love how the kobe dickriders who know nothing about basketball say kobe is the greatest of all time based solely on the fact that he has a higher scoring game than MJ. MJ had 69-points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block game against the playoff team Cavs. Kobe had 81-points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block game against the 27-win Raptors. Now you dumbasses tell me who's OVERALL performance was better

The worst thing you can do is compare two great players. MJ and Kobe will always be two of the many great basketball players that ever played the game. Its as simple as that.

The thing about Lebron is that he's trying to BE Jordan, by taking his number, and doing everything he can to BE Jordan. While on the other hand Kobe is trying to be himself, and better than Jordan, not trying to be Jordan. Which is why Kobe will always be more respected than Lebron, because Kobe's doin his own thing out there, while Lebron is just trying to be someone he never will be.

@FreshprinceLoudpack Loudpack listen to what the fuck you just said.."Lebron tries to be like Jordan by wearing number 23"Okay Kobe tried his best to speak like MJ during interviews wags his tongue during games and even tries to walk like MJ.Yeah id say he tries his hardest to be MJ as well.

kobe plays in a way tougher era where almost anybody can put up historic numbers not just one person (jordan) plus, now a days...players are bigger, stronger, faster and everybody grew up wanting to be like mike. so with that being said..kobe stands out against the best of the best...he is still secound to jordan tho cuz mj paved the way for kobe..but kobe will be better when he gets 7 rings..until then nope

People forget Kobe didnt start his first season, only averaged 7.9 points. 4 years later 28.5, only played 68 games that season, but the real stat 05-06 season.. 35.4 ppg! in a new era, new defenses that could not contain him.

Kobe ain't no Jordan. yes! he is a great player, but not surpassing Jordan.

@shogunMR being the best him he could be he'd be much better off. And I never said he wasnt a great player I love watching him play, some of the things he's done few others ever have or will. He is truly an amazing basketball player. But he is NOT anywhere near Jordan's level. He is way over hyped by the media and NBA who has tried relentlessly to convince kids that Kobe is the next Jordan or even on his level. When Bryant's all done people will still say "he's the Michael Jordan of that"

@shogunMR bottom line is Kobe is fantastic and in a watered down NBA sense about 1999 he has been the best player by far. One of the top 15 or so greatest players of all time. Sure fire HOF. But to put him in a class with a man who was beyond legendary is crazy. Mind boggling even. There is no argument the NBA needs a next Jordan so they advertise the crap out of anyone who plays well. He is overrated and not on the same level as some of the other legends before him but he is a great player

11 Rings in a 8 team league full of unskillful whites .
Also Jordan didnt bitch , He motivated his team & IS 100% the reason Nikes even relevant today .

There were players even bigger than him. And in that time you had the be physical because there was no 3 point line.
11 rings and a stat sheet that'll probably ever be touched, and back then they didnt count steals andblocks.

Dr. J changed the game, Michael put NBA on the map but you can't really compare Dr. J with MJ or Kobe with MJ or whatever. But for me, personally Michael Jordan was and still is the greatest basketball player to ever play. And for me, even better than Dr. J.

@StFuMoThErFuCkEr I look at highlights reels, not at defense. You pick Jordan, cuz his offense AND defense. With offense you win games, with defense you win championships and in the case of Russell: 11 championships, so STFU motherfucker;)

@tyrekethefreak donaghy had nothing to do with kobe's success. they will go through fair officiating and still win tht 3 titles, believe me.

Kobe is a great guy and doesn't eserve all this hate! The only reason why so many hate on him is simply BECAUSE OF HIS OWN RETARDED FANS!!! They are so disrespectful and ignorant, making these childish comparisons to the legend Michael Jordan. He is obviously the god of basketball if you will and even Kobe said himself this comparison is laughable.
.
Same with LeBron's fans. You'll see in a couple years LeBron will get the same hate because fans these days are fucking pricks and talk bullshit.
