I am not putting any of our guys against jordan, my comments were light hearted and you're being a little taking everything so seriously.
BTW, the rox are going to own your boys and everyone else if health permits.
Tmac has not had back issues while under the care of the Waco-Witch doc for at least 2 full seasons now and counting so stfu.
I guess you don't see the whole point of the basketball camp and you need to stop overanalyzing the video. If you think it was a mere attempt for Jordan to stroke his ego you are wrong beyond a reasonable doubt. It was nothing more than an exhibtion show to give the kids their money's worth. Put down the modem for taking a Michael Jordan camp so seriously.
And yes, you're hating pretty bad.
You keep your opinion, and I'll keep mine.
Money's worth would have him give 10 minute one-on-one lessons on shooting form, technique, and positioning to a select few of the camp kids. Money's worth would have been Michael inviting another former NBA player or maybe one of his Charlotte Bobcat players and play one-on-one with him, where it would be at least semi-compe ive. , make it two-on-two with two camp kids so at least two camp kids get to play and each has an NBA caliber player to play with.
That in the video was lame and laughable.
Definately the game of basketball is better then it was.
And the defense was not that great in 90s. The pace of the game in late 90s was slow.
Every post you are saying the same thing
I think everybody got your point
I keep repeating because they are not getting it.
you are such a lying little ing weasel
You're sounding like a Redskin fan before every football season the last 10 years.
Jordan: "Lets just say, he would have a much tougher time stopping me than I would have stopping him"... and this was Jordan in his prime.
If you notice, those were the same fakes that JAMSTONE is saying Jordan used on those little kids. Not mention... a 19 year old Kobe dropped 33 on Jordan and his bulls... when Jordan was in his prime. Saying that Kobe would be no contest is absurd. Kobe could get any shot he wanted against Jordan when he was only 19. But as far as the comparisons to who is better...
The funny thing about this vid is Phil never explained why he thought Kobe had better skills than Jordan. He actually made a good case for Jordan being the better player. I agree with his overall comparison though. Also, Pippen thought Kobe was better.
In my opinion, both players have the same style and flare for the game. Both are fierce compe ors, and both are clutch. But Kobe really dont do anything BETTER than Jordan. Kobe may be just a tad bit of a better outside shooter than MJ. This next vid makes a case for Kobe.
The video above clearly shows that teams focus soley on Kobe. Of course this was different when he had Shaq, Horry, Fox, Harper, Rice, Shaw and all those guys, but Jordan was surrounded with really good talent throughout the entire 1990's... he had great shooters, great defensive players and rebounders. Jordan was able to roam and go one on one for the majority of his career. However, Kobe turns 30 this month and I think the we have yet to see his best. 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
Well this post is an automatic "Fail." First off the first video is from the 2003 all star game when Jordan was 40 and second, the game you're referring to when Kobe scored 33 pts at age 19 is the game where the Bulls dominated and won by 21 pts in December of 97 and Kobe scored 16 of those 33 in the 4th quarter when the game was already decided and Jordan was sitting at the end of the bench laughing at guys like Randy Brown and Scott Burrell and Jud Buechler playing.
I don't think Phil wanted to give his true opinion on who was better because he's currently employed by the Lakers and didn't want to anger his best player. Also I have never heard Pippen say Kobe was better. If you can find a direct quote on where he has, then it's more lies by Laker/Kobe fans.
I thought the Kobe vs. MJ comparisons died this past summer when Kobe allowed his team to blow a 24 pt lead at home in an NBA Finals game. Shoot, I thought the comparisons should've ended in 2004 when Kobe Bryant shot 38% vs. Tayshaun Prince's stifling defense and only averaged 22 ppg, and this was with Shaq in the middle along with 2 other hall of famers on his squad. These comparisons should've died, but for some reason Laker/Kobe fans just won't let it.
We got your point just fine, we all just think it's stupid.
your my boy blue
complete ownage at its finest
jamstone comes across as being incredibly butthurt. why? i'm not sure.
then again, unless 100% of the other posters agree with him on any subject whatsoever, he always comes across as a whiny butthurt bag.
I agree with some of what you are saying in the sense that we all know how compe ive Jordan is and he did at times seem like he was getting off on hitting those jumpers and dunking on those kids. That is pretty sad indeed, if that was somehow a big deal to him, too show the kids up. That is like Nolan Ryan being thrilled with himself because he can still throw his fastball by a bunch of Little Leaguers.
I know one thing, Jordan never shot 38% in a series vs the Bad Boy Pistons defense which was 3 times tougher to score on that the 2004 Piston team Kobe was "contained" by. Did you say Mitch Richmond? LMFAO! Mitch Richmond was like so much of a dropoff from Jordan it's not even funny, that's like comparing Michael Redd with Kobe, not even on the same level. Bottomline is Kobe stat-padded his numbers against a bunch of scrubs like Randy Brown and Jud Buechler in garbage minutes.
I also think you're probably thinking of Mark Jackson who said Kobe was better than Jordan, and Pippen busted out laughing and wanted to kill him!
o Stan.
Well Jordan's right, no one could beat him in his prime. I agree with him whole heartedly. There was so much of a dropoff between Jordan and the 2nd best player in the league. While I do agree that Kobe is the best in the NBA today, there's not much of a dropoff from say Kobe and LeBron from being #1 and #2 best players in the game today.
And if someone has heard Pippen say Kobe was better, and they post it, well I'll take your word for it, until then, it's all lies, and of course like I said I've heard Mark Jackson say it, and we all know those former Knicks over at ESPN like Mark Jackson and Greg Anthony hold a personal vendetta over Jordan for denying them a ring, so they try hard to diminish Jordan's accomplishments.
As for Jordan going away, you probably want him to go away so your boy Kobe can be looked at as the poster boy of the NBA for years and years after he's gone like Jordan, but.....not gonna happen. 20 years from now, Jordan will probably still be talked about as the GOAT.
Pippen also said LeBron would be better than Jordan.
MJ is going to be forever known as the best player of all time. I can't ever imagine anybody doing what he did for as long as he did it, in such dominant fashion. If Jordan's Bulls, any version of them, played Kobe's current Lakers in the finals, they'd probably sweep them and Kobe would be horribly outplayed by Jordan. Jordan would be so fired up to whip his ass, Kobe would be looking for a hole to crawl into by the time it was over.
That is big time stuff right there,
You seem to be under some sort of delusion that Kobe and Jordan are close or comparable, and Kobe hasn't quite passed him YET. Wake up, it's not even close and never will be. Anyone who's played compe ive basketball knows how hard it is to dominate both ends of the court. It's damn near impossible to be a defennsive stopper on one end and a top notch scorer at the other, it takes an insane amount of endurance and energy. Kobe is a capable defender but can't dominate BOTH ends at the same time, and isn't half the winner Jordan was. Jordan would have never gotten outplayed by Paul Pierce, and you know it so stop trying to sugar coat it.
LOL, so the Blazers can take those squads to 7 games as can the Kings and the Lakers barely escape but Jordan's Bulls would get eaten up by those Laker teams, in your ing dreams. Jordan's 96 Bulls would hand those Laker teams their ass on a platter.
You got that straight, in Jordan's prime he badly outplayed the likes of Clyde Drexler and Charles Barkley in NBA finals appearances, Paul Pierce would have gotten his ass handed to him by Jordan.
Your are correct it is not close and that is not going to change. Jordan was the man on 6 le winning teams. dominated the out of the NBA almost every year of his career, Kobe is not Jordan and he never will be.
