Some of the best Athletes to every lace up and play basketball didnt even make it in the NBA.............having basketball skills and knowledge go a long way...............there I addressed you issue.
James White for the Spurs could JUMP out of the gym...........where is he? Athletic as right? Where is he?
TIM DUNCAN is almost as unathletic as they come.....but he is fundamentally sound and smart. He is far from athletic............yet, the best PF to ever play the game.
i think you and lebomb clearly missed the point. he is basically saying that if they had a shootout, and Jordan scored 25, then Kobe would probably get about 22. Jordan is absolutely a better player, but not to the point that he would completely own Kobe every night by a margin of 50 points to none.
im a HUGE jordan fan, but even i sometimes get annoyed by the non-stop fellating of Jordan by some people. i can understand why kobe fans sometimes get annoyed by jordan lovers.
neat. every last player on the 2008 team has talent, skills, and smarts. thus your argument holds no weight.
This just confirms that you've never seen these guys play in their prime.
Ok..I'll be honest here. I understand everythign Lebomb has been saying. he has some good points. I just dont believe in the "Butt Whooping" he is trying to convey. Im not sure if you are exagerating with the "could not handle 92 in no form or fashion" or the others ways you express the game being a blow out. I think it is alot closer than you think.
When Kobe stand up in a big game.............aka Jordan, then we will get off of the KB =MJ fans. It hasnt happend yet, so I dont want to hear Kobe is better than MJ talk. Its BS....Just like CP3 and Deron in the same sentence as Magic..........its stupid.
you are such a moron and take arguments wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out of control. obviously if lebron had athleticism and nothing more, then he wouldnt be in the league. obviously he has talent, thats why he is widely considered the best player in basketball. same for kobe.
I gave them 3 games..........maybe 4. But there is noway they could beat the 92 team if they were both in the same Olympics.....with 1 elimination game.
Noone here is saying Kobe is better than MJ...but your arguements are a bit skewed if you dont think the stats will be pretty similar...we've all seen Kobe vs MJ before.
Its not out of control......I just read your responses on how 92 could not keep up with 08, yet I had a player from 92 on all of your 08 guys that could keep up and dominate in my opininon.
no one here said Kobe is better than MJ. We just said they are about equal athletes, and have extremely similar skill sets. The main quality that sets Jordan apart is he is a MUCH better team leader, and his hands allowed him more finishing ability.
and we didnt compare CP3 and Deron to Magic. We just said Magic couldnt guard those two, just as much as those two could not guard Magic.
lol if you think that Clyde and Pippen are going to dominate Wade and Lebron, then I really have nothing further to discuss with you. is that what you are saying?
Exactly what i was saying on my post above. Lebomb makes it seem like just because MJ is better, Kobe wont do anything.
I never said Kobe wasnt good....but he isnt in MJs league. Look at the stats of this years Olympics............Kobe isnt even in the top of his own team. These comparisons are ludacris.
He doesnt have to be on top with young guys like Lebron and Wade. His job is to do what the others cant really do yet...stop the opposing teams best player.
The best player in the world hasnt done anything yet......what 7-35 from the field and 3-12 from 3pt range??? What has he done.....?
Back to the subject , the 92 team was smart....had a combination of veterans, and athletes......they would win 7 out of 10 against 08.
Im sticking to what I believe......good debate yall.....I really have to go.
No hard feelings to anyone.....I love you guys.
Theres other aspects like defense bud.The best player in the world hasnt done anything yet......what 7-35 from the field and 3-12 from 3pt range??? What has he done.....?

im sure i could find a way to get him even more butthurt over this thread and post about 24 more times, but i really dont like dealing with ignorance.
lol lebombs continuing 92 vs 08 talks in the other thread.
2008 has Kobe. Therefore, 2008 is better.
Magic was still at his peak, he was forced to retire due to HIV, not because of declining basketball skills.
He also won the NBA all-star game MVP that year, torching whoever who tried to guard him (Rodman, Jordan and Thomas).
From a purely athletic point of view:
Jordan = Kobe
Lebron > Pippen (Lebron is much stronger, but Pippen is a little bit quicker)
Wade = Drexler (Very different athletes, Wade has better body control, but Drexler jumps out of the building back in the day)
Malone >> Carmelo (Malone is stronger, and just as quick. Even though both or wannabe thugs, Malone is just much dirtier and can drop Carmelo whenver he feels like it).
Robinson > Howard (Howard is shorter, not as fast end-to-end, not as quick, and about as strong.)
Michael Jordan stats in 92 Olympics.....
51-113 .451% FG
4-19 from 3 - 21%
13-19 from the FT line - 68%
2.4 steals
14.9 PPG
