so much for the arguement of kobe faces superior athletes and competition therefore his stats and championships are greater. Here we see grandpa jordan at ages 38-40 averaging 23 a game for 2 years putting up 30's,40's and 50's against the same superior athletes that prime kobe faces.

My favorite part is the lightning quick drive past Patterson at the 2:25-2:27 mark. This is what made Jordan the best ever: his ability to INSTANTLY read defenses and make split second decisions. No superstar player in the NBA today can make that play imo.  Has nothing to do with his speed and everything to do with how quickly he reads and makes decisions as to what to do with the ball. It's instant.

Don't forget: MJ even had 25+ PpG at the All Star Break 2002. Phil Jackson said that MJ is the MVP right now..Then his knee spoiled the fun.All that with an off-season preparation includin a broken rib (thx to Metta ;) )

@jordanlover23 I really like to watch his footwork and how he uses his body..... Footwork is one thing that you only get with practice and lots of hours in the gym. Every single move he does, he sets it up perfectly.... Simply amazing to watch how good he was even at 40 :D

Jordan was one TOUGH mofo. Look how physical he played even on offense, the way he man handled bonzi in the post @ 3:30. The Vibe was like " your mine bitch" damn.

@jordanlover23 Thanks you for pointing out what so many people miss. Of any player in NBA history, MJ probably has the greatest feel for the game. That subtle move on the baseline was quick and decisive, even at 38+ years old.

@dv122 Well said. It drives me nuts listening to people saying Kobe played against superior competition. When you here people say that you want to ask if they watched the NBA in the 80's and 90's. Clyde Drexler, Mitch Richmond, Reggie Miller, Dominique Wilkins Steve Smith and so many others were just as good as a lot of these guys are today.

@dv122 .....fans of kobe bryant cling to the notion that mike put up far better numbers because he faced lesser competition,as if mikes numbers would go down in the modern era....

mike= 22.4 ppg from february 19th to april 16th of 2003.....that represent the 30 games he played past the age of 40......right in the middle of kobes era.....

if mike could average 22.4 ppg in 2003 in the last 30 games of his his career(all past age 40) why would they possibly doubt what PRIME MIKE could do now
