@JokerBehold

i said most of the guard are unathletic midget. Magic might be 6'9 but he's not a type of guard that would beat you off the dribble like Rose etc

And MJ didn't win shit playing against prime Magic. When Magic got older and on verge of getting AIDS that was when MJ got the upper hand

same with Zeke, Dumar , Bird,

this is when the "kobe face" was invented :)

@ 2:38 he fakes his own teammate and magic player out haha

[DerykDubie]

lol at 3:50, where Kobe gets the and-one when he gets hit. Not once has that foul ever been called for me in NBA 2k12.

Wow at :42 they're playing Thriller, and Michael died just two or three weeks later.

Ok students your essays are due next week.

@Kenny1984 When you take into account Kobe's 3pt shooting, his eFG% is still below Jordan.

Yes, MJ can't score like Kobe, he can score BETTER.

"If you judge a player base on FG% then centers would be the best scorer lol"

Actually, yes. You want the player who has the best chance of scoring to take shots. A dunk or layup attempt every possession is MUCH better than jacking up long 2s. You don't live by 3s, you DIE by 3s. Look at 09 Magic, they got owned once they stopped hitting 3s.

@Kenny1984

Kobe PLAYED IN THE 90s YOU DUMBASS. And he didn't do shit as he was a learning young player, but he played faced the same D a past-prime Jordan faced and he was hardly any better.

A 38 year old Jordan put up 22-6-5 ALL STAR NUMBERS against your 'superior' defenses.

Jesus fucking Christ, where do you assclowns come from?

MJ attacked the basket like no other, that's why he got his free throws.

What the shit, you MUST be retarded. Sweet Jesus.

@Lakers24pwnz

MJ overrated. The 90s defenders have poor lateral quickness and poor footwork. Mj was able to blow past guys like Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainges, Byron Russel etc

And then look at the number of MJ free throw attempt. MJ rely on the ref to get his points. Defender breathe on MJ and they call it a foul. Even guy like Lebron, Wade didn't get the same amount of free throw like MJ lol.

MJ = cheap scorer

[Kenny1984]

@qyxzz

Highlight show what kind of defense is being play, how big/fast are the defenders , what kind of situation of the shot etc. Stat don't show that

MJ can't score the way Kobe score . Fact

MJ might be more efficient because he take less three and go to the free throw line more.

Kobe has better offensive talents

[Kenny1984]

@qyxzz if MJ dunk his way to 40 point that mean the team he play against is shit on defense.

MJ earned most of his point from the free throw line because the referee blow whistle as soon as they breathe on MJ skin. It's a fact

Now Kobe defenders are much more athletic and have better footwork than Mj defender. They don't allow Kobe to drive in on every posession.

Stats like FG% and assists is all misleading. If you judge a player base on FG% then centers would be the best scorer lol
