And The 2nd amendment should be waived only for Artest
Oh, skie, manitski, Damus is back in the sauce.
Kobe is great and will go down as one of the greatest to play the game but he is far from Jordan. IMO Lebron is better than Kobe and he is still getting better. He is closer to MJ with the greatness of his all around game.
Michael Jordan had elite help too.....I agree Tim Duncan has had some weak supporting casts, one reason why I think Duncan > Kobe, all I'm saying is Pau Gasol was one of a handful of big men who Kobe needed as a sufficient side kick.
The way I see it, Gasol is just as much Kobe's sidekick as Kobe was Shaq's sidekick from 2000-2002. Shaq was the guy who took defensive attention off Kobe and made him better then, Kobe is the guy who takes attention off Gasol and makes him better now. Gotta give credit where credit is due.
Actually, you're probably too young to remember....but those baseball seasons were awesome for the bulls...especially after a 3 peat.
...MAYBE...
But when Kobes and LeBrons career will be over i think it will be LeBron the closest thing to Jordan
Maybe you're right, and by that time you'd be a senior in high school and probably have kissed a girl by then.
Can't? You are crazy if you think we can't beat them.
Well, when Stern tells you to "quit"...Jordan quit.
I know that Biedrins is in that picture somewhere.
Roy?
There is nothing wrong with saying Kobe is the closest to Jordan. Kobe modelled his whole career after Jordan (except playing for the Bulls part), he wanted to be like Mike like nobody else.
Other than Kobe having much better teammates than Jordan at the beginning of their respective careers, Kobe has been dying to be like Mike, and he was successful at it.
LeBron James on the other hand, is nowhere near what Jordan was. Their playing styles are different, their mode of attack is different. James' game was much closer to a Pippen on steriods mode, where he can do everything extremely well, but none at the level of best of all time.
Just want to make it clear though, I am not saying Kobe > James, in fact, I think James > Kobe, but in terms of playing like Jordan, nobody could come close to Kobe.

Matzel, Matzel, good things!
Jordan quit on the Bulls twice. The first time because his gambling addiction became a big problem and he needed to take some heat off of it. The second time when the Bulls refused to bring back Scottie and Phil after #6. Jordan has said many times that he would have come back if they brought Phil and Scottie back. Since they didn't, he decided to "quit."
Jam/goods/Thursday morn/Matzel, Matzel.
Kobe may be close but he is not MJ nor will there be another MJ.
However.....that's not a bad thing. Kobe is Kobe. Why not just let him be the "first Kobe" instead of the next Jordan?
He brings his own unique talents to the game and when he is done, there will be those who come close but never be another as well.
Come to think of it, is Artest going to break Kobe's ribs like he did to Jordan?
Sooo first Artest wanted to knock Kobe's lights out, and now he's sucking his saying Kobe is the closest thing to Jordan? WTF!?!
