Lol. Kobe is already 6 years into his post prime days? If you truly believe that, might as well hang up his jersey right now. He should already have a full foot out the door then with the second foot ready to join. Did Stuckey just smash a champagne bottle on Kobe as he gets ready to ship off?
MJ was LeHype at age 24 and didn't win jack until Magic and Bird were past their primes. He didn't win until the league was watered down with expansion: fact. Kobe at 24 had to defer to Shaq (PJ's orders to appease jealous/imature Shaq). It worked. To the tune of a 3peat.
Kobe wasn't "the man" when he came to the Lakers. MJ was. Kobe in 2008-2010 had damn near the same amount of mileage as "mid-30s" MJ due to the fact he had been making playoff runs every year since he was 17 (sans the year they tanked to get Bynum).
Where was MJ's true compe ion in 1991-1993? Magic retired in 1991 (HIV). Ewing's Knicks were on the decline. Zeke's Pistons had a fork in them. Even in the Finals, the teams he faced from 1991-1993 didn't play defense like 2008 Boston, 2009 Magic, or 2010 Boston teams. You think Kobe wouldn't have busted any 1991 Laker SG's ass? How about Clyde Drexler in 1992? What about Majerle in 1993? Kobe would have averaged 45 ppg against any of those teams. Why? Because MJ never faced a zone, or the kind of defenses Kobe faced from 2008-2010. Kobe's compe ion at SG and the defenses he faced were better - yet he still have eerily comparable numbers to MJ. They are peers. Neal with it.
MJ's notable compe ion during his reign:
Drexler
Reggie
Majerle
Dumars
Mitch Richmond
Dominique Wilkins
Kobe's notable compe ion during his reign:
D-Whistle
LeHype
AI
Vince Carter
Ray Allen
Joe Johnson
Rip Hamilton
Manu Ginobli
Kevin Durant
Westbrook
Monta Ellis
Kobe played against more players that were comparable to him or in some case - Vince Carter before the injuries - was as good or better than him athletically. He has sustained superiority over them all. Even despite being in his MF'n 16th year, he's perched on the top of the league in scoring, dropping calculated bombs on his compe ion.
I wonder where MJ was ranked in what he is known for - scoring - in his 16th year? They are peersPERIOD.

Crawl MFers! Crawl!
Damn, you really are one of the worst posters on here...and that's saying something.
again and again and again
Who is that behind the mask? I cannot tell.
Oh, it's the Lone Raper.
So why are you comparing old Jordan to young Kobe?
I never understood why KobeFan lists his individual compe ion, tbh..
Defensively, he rarely guarded any of those players..Offensively, the majority of those players are mediocre, or worse, defenders..so, how is it relevant?..
As I have said many times, prime Kobe is comparable to past his prime Jordan..no arguments there, tbh..
Cuckhold.
this ing thread again....
Jordan was Jordan. He was a complete all-around player, along with being a cold-blooded, clutch MF'er.
Kobe is pretty cold-blooded but he's not the complete player MJ was.
LeBron is a very complete player but he's not clutch like MJ was and doesn't have the same motor.....he cares more about how the public perceives him than winning a ring.
Stopped reading after that.Kobe is MJ's Peer
So now your silly ass wanna play stupid. Yes mutha er Kobe is 6 yrs post prime a 28 yr old player is not a prime player. That doesn't mean that he's not good or not even the best player. Kobe is just that good. Your silly ass act like only prime players win...ask yourself...how old was MJ when he won his last le. Kobe won in his prime and past his prime...what he's doing now is playing a card game with father time...Kobe will win now but father time in 3 more yrs...
Just enjoy your le from las nite ....and yes I said las nite.
All we know for sure, is that he is a choker.
Lkr getting ted on per the usual and to stupid to realize as much par the course...
Kobe overshooting a little, but Gasol/Bynum are so effective and efficient, that Lakers winning easy.
Lakers should play their bench a little more on this games, if anything to showcase them.
Did you picked Washington out of spite for what happened last night? lol
Lakers team is Ing pathetic
12 more shots than Baby Drew and MVPau have combined, this got just doesnt get it
LA with the contender (we beat the good teams, can't get up for the bad ones) goods.
You cant defend this ..........
