Kobe's "bums" include Shaq, Payton, Malone, Gasol, and Odom.
Jordan had Pippen.
Open your eyes, fool.
Well that would end the argument if the question was "Who was better in the finals, Kobe or Jordan?"
Seriously, if you want to make a case for anyone being the worst at anything, don't compare him to Michael Jordan.

While Kobe's supporting casts were overall better than Jordan's, it's totally unfair to cast off the Bulls role players as "bums" during the championship years. While Pippen was the only other real All Star caliber player to pair with Jordan the Bulls were always stocked with quality "dirty work" big men like Horace Grant and Dennis Rodman and clutch snipers like Paxson and Kerr.
Jordan had:
Pippen (50 greatest of all time)
Rodman (One of the greatest rebounders/defenders of all time)
R Harper (One of the best defenders/guards of that time)
S kerr (The greatest 3 point shooter in the history of the NBA-% wise)
T Kukoc (6th man of the year in 1996 and one of the best off the becnh in the league)
he had a great team...
Pippen and Grant were both soft -made chokers in their early years as well. Remember the "migrane"? Pippen was so full of BS for that one. Paxson and Kerr weren't great players at all. Good shooters, but nothing more. What about Will Perdue? Soft. BJ Armstong? Out of control. Stacy King? Soft and dumb. Jordan's first le team was full of soft, dumb players that he eventually transformed into a 3-peat team. He didn't get Rodman or Harper until his second three-peat.
In terms of what the media likes to build him up to be, compared to what he has done without Shaq, you better believe it...
Jordan would have easily won a ring with 2008 laker role players. Kobe can't cause he ain't a true leader on the court.
That is why Lakers will never win a ring with Kobe as the only superstar.
Shaq was the true leader in the Laker championship years.
and Jordan's role players <<<<<< Kobe's role players. it's not even close.
What would Kobe do with Will Perdue or Luc Longley as his starting center.![]()
I think if you replaced Kobe with Lebron, the Lakers would have beat the Celtics. Kobe is a terrible leader. He might have a more developed game, but whats the use of a developed game if all you do is shoot fade-aways on a team that already relies completely on the jumpshot? Lebron would have been attacking like a mofo and gotten his teammates more easy shots, unlike Kobe who played soft as crap.
Not too mention the Laker fans that like to say "Jordan needed Pippen for all those rings" like Pippen is the equal of Shaq, so we can't hold that against Kobe. Pippen is going to the hall of fame mainly because of Jordan. If he didn't have 6 rings, he'd likely not even be considered for the hall.
Exactly. Take away all his rings, he doesnt even sniff the HOF. Take away Shaq's rings, he still waltzes in as one of the most dominating players ever.
jordan had pippen?
how about dennis rodman and horace grant? WTF? both were all stars.
toni kukoc was also equivalent to what gasol was in europe.
you're a ing idiot fool
i want better reasoning than this.
Gasol > Kukoc
Rodman didn't come till the second three-peat.
Grant was a soft whiny and needed Jordan to make him an all-star.
youre the biggest idiot of them all.
using this logic, pau gasol is also a soft bithc made choker failing to win A PLAYOFF GAME/SERIES until he came to the lakers.
kwame brown was the worst # 1 draft pick of all time and yet this fool sniffed victories againsta heavily favored suns.
lamar odom was playing second fiddle to a rookie wade.
and wtf did a dominant and young shaq won? NOTHING. he choked himself too against the rockets.
grant is severely underrated to these young cats who doesnt know about basketball. they think of him as this huy who wears goggles. but a lot of these fools does not know grant was a 14 ad 10 player with immense toughness.
gasol>kukoc?
ur a dumbass. learn their importance in the euro league. kukoc was never given a chance to star in the nba. he's easily a 20pt 7 rebs 5 assists type of guy you loser
your mom was a soft whiny too, thats why u were conceived.![]()
no more posts from strecth please.
i dont need a troll like him using the same excuse non thinking basketball fans uses.
next pls![]()
This thread is ridiculous. No one, not even Laker fans, are going to argue that Kobe compares to MJ in the playoffs. NO one does. 6 rings in a modern era of sports is unheard of.
However, to say Kobe is the worst playoff performer ever is... well, it's stupid. I'm surprised Laker fans have taken the bait so fully. Kobe doesn't elevate his game in the playoffs as much as he might, but he's still a very good playoff performer. For a chucker.![]()
kukoc>your whole ancestor.
i think this is the first legit post ive seen in this thread so far.
quit the mj/kobe comparisons because its ing old and redundant.
lets go from here.
