MJ>Kobe
that is all.
Oh I agree, that Jordan couldn't sustain that high level of play every night like he was capable of doing with the Bulls, but at the same time, to disregard him completely just because of his older age is foolish, cause he could bust out a 40 pt game on you every now and then. Will we ever see a 40 yr old player average over 20 ppg and play in all 82 games like Jordan did his last year in the NBA?
you think no jumpshot having Rafer Alston is gonna clown MJ (even at his old age)?
Don't you know that even at age 40, Jordan was still dropping 40 pt games (one of the only players to ever do so). And then T-Mac with his soreback never having gotten out of the first round vs MJ? You must be like 16 or something.
fark you, jordan is old tmac can school his ass now, never said prime vs prime
and you riding the sore back issue that he had no problems with ALL of last year...are you 12?
and rafer can dribble circles around old ass jordan and he CAN drain from the arc

LeBron toys around with people like MJ
There is nobody like MJ that has ever played in the league.
of course
so tell us something we dont know mj
lol what are you a girl. whats the point of MJ losing to them? its his camp, they pay to learn from the master, if they school mj then why even go? you need to think about this more deeply.
Dude,fark you, jordan is old tmac can school his ass now, never said prime vs prime

Up until last year Rafer was a borderline starter in the NBA. And wow, one season of T-Mac not having back issues is supposed to prove to me that he no longer has back issues? Get outta here. And while you're on the subject of a 45 yr old MJ guarding Rafer, why don't Rafer try to guard MJ? Cause he'll get his little ass posted up on so much, it would be like shooting over a chair. Please make it out of the first round before putting your guys on Jordan's level.
That's correct, sir. Just copycats and wanna-bes.
What's the point in MJ playing them one-on-one at all? What do they learn be getting shot over and dunked on? What lesson is learned?
If Brian Urlacher holds a linebacker camp for high school kids. Should he be spearing each of the kids?
LMAO WTF?
To have fun. It is a camp, any kid who is interested in basketball would want to play MJ.
No because spearing is an illegal move in the NFL.
"I got a chance to go one-on-one with Michael Jordan"
Yeah the ultimate dream for the majority of basketball fans and kids is simply an excuse for MJ to prove his manliness against 10 year olds. Give me a ing break.
Good at least there is some sort of etiquette when professional athletes beat up on kids in sports.
Who was saying something about grammatically correct sentences?
you do know that its an open challenge right? he doesnt randomly stop his camp have kids surround him and call people out to play. they choose to play.
and you have to ask yourself, if this was your basketball camp and your show, what is your job? your job is to teach and entertain.
football comparison is laughable man. can quarterbacks play 1v1? can defensive tackles play 1v1?
The kids willing to play one on one has nothing to do with my question. I'm sure there are plenty of kids that would want to. What does it teach them? What lessons are they learning? There are plenty of camps run by NBA players and former NBA players and they don't play one-on-one with the camp kids. It serves no purpose in helping the kids get better. Whether it's entertaining watching Michael Jordan shoot jumpers over kids, giving them head and shoulder fakes, and then driving and dunking on them is a matter of opinion. I find it amusing in that it looks lame, not entertaining. You think it's cool. Other people in this thread thinks it's the highlight of some of these kids' lives. I don't. You're not changing my opinion of it. So, you don't need to try to convince me that it's not lame. It's an opinion.
For me, it would be entertaining enough to get some one on one lessons from Michael Jordan, having him help me with my jump shooting form, teaching me some tricks of the trade on positioning, form, technique, and what not without him having to show off that he can still hit jumpers and drive on kids that are no where near NBA caliber. It would be enough to shoot jumpers with him, talk to him while he gave me advice on my game.
What's the purpose of going one-on-one? The best answer in this thread is that it's entertaining. LOL, ok.
You don't like the football comparison, fine. If Charles Barkley held a camp and did the same thing, backing down kids 200 pounds lighter than him in the post and scoring on them, would that be fun too? If Dominique held a camp and had a sessions where kids had to stand in the lane and take charges on him while he tried to jump over them and dunk on them, would that be fun too?
It's comical to me. Amusing that Michael Jordan would go one-on-one against kids, not only shoot jumpers, but give them shoulder fakes as if he needed to create space to shoot over them, drive on these kids, and then after dunking talk to the crowd.
Entertaining... sure. In very lame way.
L.....o......llllllllll!!!!!
if youre a man youre a disgrace.
Jamstone's hate for MJ is more astounding than the hate Piston fans give Lebron.
If Jordan shouldn't try or fool around with the kids or even show off his skills, then he shouldn't even be at the camp and their should be cardboard cutouts of him at designated spots for kids to play one on one against.
LMAO Your points are ing laugable.
Thats why some say Jordan is a greater player (achievements), but overall talent and skill is very debatable.Most great athletes play their best ball between 30-34. Kobe is fortunate enough that the Lakers have surrounded him with players that can help him win at a high level. The rest is up to Kobe. I dont see Kobe surpassing Jordans achievments, but I do see Kobe doing well enough to keep people debating who was the best between them for decades to come. The best thing is someone will eventually come along and eclipse both of them... and it wont be Lebron
The 1st vid shows a 90 year old Jordan during way past his prime. What's the point of that video?
The 2nd video basically shows how bad ass of a player Jordan was.
Defense in the 90's was much more tougher. It was a rougher game, no silly hand check rules like you have today, and much more harder and rougher. Guards have it easy compared to what guards had it back then. Also it is Jordan's fault that Kobe's team sucked? Also, Kobe played a horrible finals so I don't see what the point is of the last video of Kobe being guarded by 5 people, that video shows more of how his team imploded and showed how soft and weak minded Gasol, Vujacic, Walton and the rest are.

Some of you are dense as .
I don't like Michael Jordan. That's not why I'm laughing at the video.
If it was Dr. J doing that, I'd laugh at him. If it were Dominique doing it, I'd laugh at him. If it were Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas, Clyde Drexler, Bernard King, Reggie Miller, Mitch Richmond, or any other former NBA star, I'd laugh at them playing one-on-one with kids at a camp.
If it's 10 years from now, and it's Kobe Bryant doing that, I'm laughing at him. 10 years from now, if it's Tim Duncan, I'm calling it lame.
It's lame. Not because it's Michael Jordan. Because it's a former NBA player trying to show up a bunch of kids with no NBA talent, and then upon urging, dunking on kids (notice the two kids he dunked on were not the big, tall kids). And, then after one drive, smirking and talking to the crowd, "You didn't know I could do that still."
What????? It's not about hating Michael Jordan. I hate Michael Jordan, but I give him his props as the best player to ever play in the history of the NBA. I'm laughing at his lame ass beating up kids one-on-one like he needs to prove anything to anyone.
