The Blazers will stop the Lakers next year. GuaranSheed.
Since Kobe and the Lakers are most likely going to win this year they have a really good chance to win it all next year. If Kobe does win next year, not only does he match MJ in 2 3peats thereby being in the same league as MJ, but he will have done something that Jordan never did and thats make it to the NBA finals 4 consecutive years........

as long as lakers put up some more banners, i dont really care.
I got some first class tickets to ville just for you...
Kobe will never = Michael. The rules favor guards nowadays. The hand check rule has made it nearly impossible to cover a good guard, while back when Jordan was around, you could smack a guard around and get away with it, because the rules favored the big men.
And then I'll pop the argument, Kobe played more seasons than MJ....
everyone has there reasoning to who the best player is, but when its all said and done lakers will remain the best franchise in sports.
Not saying Kobe equals Jordan or whatever. But I'm sorry, you don't know what you're talking about.. I saw a lot of handchecking on Kobe today. Handchecking still exist, but it seems rather discretionary. Jordan use to combat handchecking by pulling or swiping the defender's arm/hand, that, today (or even back then) is an offensive foul.

Sorry dude...you ain't catching the Yankees. Not a fan of the Bronx Bombers, but the Lakers ain't even close.
Not a Yankee fan either, but yeah, they are the best American franchise in sports.
baseball is gay
got answer for that...MJ got his dad killed and because of gambling and was forced out the league because of it...his skills would have declined anyway...MJ quit on the game and his family before the game and his family was ready for him to quit...
Oh man don't even go there. Show some class please..
I have no class...let me repeat I have no class and don't want none...it's game on...like Tupac said my mentality for all Laker haters is you and ya mama...
Neat thread Tacker
And who cares about the Yankees, does anyone really give a about world series they won in like the 1910's
bazinga!
There was a lot more handchecking back then than there is now, because it was actually legal then. Jordan AVERAGED 30.1 PPG over his career, including averaging 20 PPG at the age of 40. Kobe will not meet his average points, won't win as many awards. Oh..by the way, Michael hasn't lost in the Finals...6 for 6..Kobe is 4 for 6, and for 3 of those les, he wasn't even the best player on his team. MJ has a better FG% over a longer career so far, better average in rebounds, FT%, assists, steals..everything, including his last few years, which made his numbers drastically decline. They're not on the same level...period. People are seriously reaching.
wtf?
son there is absolutely no reason to worry. In order for Kobe to even be mentioned in the same sentence with Jordan he will need to win AT LEAST 4 or 5 more NBA championships AS THE LEADER OF THE TEAM aka WINNING THE FINALS MVP AWARD FOR EVERY CHAMPIONSHIP!
anyone can ride the coat tails of another star player's success and be a role player like Kobe did with Shaq. Its all a matter of luck and just being on the right team at the right time ala Robert Horry. I guess we should rank Horry as one of the games greatest simply because he has more rings than Jordan! Kobe Bryant has only been the CO-LEADER of ONE championship team and that was last season.
As much as we care about Lakers Championships in Minneapolis. Not a Yanks fan, but for someone to say the Lakers are the best franchise in pro sports..that's just disgusting. The Yankees have won 26 championships, including a 5-peat, and 40 AL Championships. Lakers will never catch them.
lmao a kobe/mj thread! obvious kobe troll is obvious. one home game doesn't equate this fake (great player, no doubt) to the g.o.a.t
You know what I can play that game too:
Since LeBron might be joining a better team next year he has a chance to win it all next year and the 3 years after next year. Since this would be a four-peat does that mean MJ's and Kobe's legacy is in danger?
Cry me a in' river and open that thread again when the Lakers actually 3peat - and there are at least 101 games between now and the day that maybe happens. Try again next year.
But....MJ was a better basketball player than Kobe is.
I mean....ya'll watched the games right?![]()
bazinga!
but but Jordan woulda scored 50 points in 60 percent shooting with probably 11 assist if he were playing instead of Kobe.
And then I'll counter with Kobe has played more seasons than MJ but still has yet to reach his scoring record.
