Phil Jackson: Kobe Is Right Up There with MJ

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I agree Kobe has a ways to go to match Jordan's career but he's got another 5 good years in him as a dominant player and he could play a few more years after that at all-star level. Kobe could end up being the leading scoring in NBA history (or close to it) with 6-7 rings. If those things happen he's right there. And if Kobe does something crazy like win another 4 rings people will be talking about him being better than Jordan and they will have an argument. But yeah, he's definitely not there yet.

You're totally deluded... he's got 5-7 years left at All Star level or better...

After this season he'll have 1200 games on his legs, 35,000 minutes. MJ played 41,000. Kobe will start to decline soon.

Kori stated that MiamiHeat is not ChrisRichards in the cleaning up thread. I doubt MiamiHeat is anyone's troll and is actually serious.

It's sad that some laker fans are so obsessed with me that they try and fake like they are me... damn


Kobe fans are delusional. They think we are 'hating'

Fact is, majority opinion is the same opinion I have.

It's all getting tiresome, but they still spam the NBA forum with more kobe threads.

I think Kobe will still be an allstar six years from now but that won't be due to skill but due to his popularity when it comes to fan voting. Look at AI right now and Tmac they are both washed up but will go to the allstar game due to dumbass fans.

Kobe will have more NBA life in his legs than Jordan. Jordan played 41,000 but also played college ball. Kobe didn't log time on the floor playing college games. Jordan also missed most of a season due to injury and also took a chunk of time off when he was healthy and physically able to play at a high level. He would have logged more minutes if those things hadn't occurred. Jordan also had to play in an era when it was a more physical game, and that takes a toll.

Kobe will be like Kareem, Malone, Jordan. He keeps himself in incredible shape. He will be a 20+ PPG scorer into his later 30s. He has a legitimate shot to be the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. 26 PPG over the next 7 years or so and he's right there.
