Was mocking that FGT House
Weren't Kobe's stats for the 2004 Finals really ty?
Why argue with 13 year olds that never even seen MJ play during his prime. I hated MJ while he played, but I respected his game as any fan against the bulls in that era did as well. Stern used MJ to prop the league internationally and it was a good calculated risk. Still, if KOBE would have quit to play soccer for 2 years and then come back the internet would explode.
the difference between them, one is a snitcher
there's light years difference between snitching and hating. Snitching is a little pissant move, it's what vaginas do. You can be a hater and not be a , but snitches are es. All the MJ did he backed up. Snitching is for pussies, hating is for evurybody
Sorry, I have no clue what is going on in this thread.
apparently eddie house is a and he was being mocked
Where are the quotes of Grant, Pippen and Jackson saying Kobe is better than Jordan? I'd like to see them Lakaluva.
Btw I'm not really a Jordan fan. I watched a clip on Youtube where Jordan said at a camp of his that he could stop Kobe more than Kobe could stop him. That's why he'd win.
I know Pippen and Jackson have said it before, I don't remember Horace Grant saying it but that's obviously because he's not as famous as the other two. And I'm sure Kobe thinks he'd beat Michael playing one on one as well.
Kobe will never live up to MJ's legend. People won't let him. He obviously doesn't have the accomplishments (yet) and might never have as many as MJ has. If he ever does match him in rings/accomplishments and it would be a virtual tie, people would still give the nod to MJ just because no one likes Kobe because he "raped" some ty white girl, because he came after Jordan, and because people think he's trying to be MJ.
I didn't make the post to say MJ > Kobe or Kobe > MJ.
Tell me if I'm wrong about my assessment.
This Kobe/MJ is so annoying.
nice job using MJ's final 3 rings as an old man
comparing 30 yr old kobe to a 35 year old mj
Think again
Pippen is on record, many times, saying that Michael is the GOAT. Bar none.
So is Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, etc.
even your Laker Kobe Bryant says MJ is better than him.
and the only thing Phil Jackson said was that Kobe had a better long range jumper, that he was more skilled in that area, while MJ had greater skill in other areas and that Michael had great hands. but keep in mind, this is WHILE BEING KOBE'S COACH. He can't down talk his own player and hurt his confidence. That's not what coaches do.
Let's wait until Phil is not his coach anymore.
Kobe is definately the closest thing to MJ we have seen - and i think the comparison can be made, but that doesnt mean Kobe is as good as MJ - because hes not. Neither in pure physical talents, nor accomplishments.
Hes Top 10 All Time IMO though, even without a Finals MVP.
Tune in next time for DrHouse's upcoming thread in his flip-flopping series, Kobe Bryant is a good-for-nothing rapist.
The most fundamental player is Tim Duncan......
at insecure Lakers fans.
Yes.
In terms of playing style, other than how Kobe tries to copy MJs jumper, fadeaway, and how he carries himself (gestures, speech, etc...), I'd say that Wade is a lot more like MJ. Wade relentlessly drives, slashes, and works to constantly get high percentage shots, keeping his outside shooting to a minimum. Kobe settles for jumpers a of a lot more than MJ. Wade and MJ both are better at penetration, slashing, and finishing than Kobe, IMO. He might not try to do things exactly the same way MJ does (like Kobe), but his playing style is definitely a lot more similar.
You're the one who sounds like an ignorant 13 year-old, claiming Kobe is more talented than Jordan.
1. Better penetrator: Jordan
2. Quickness: Jordan
3. Jumping ability: Jordan
4. Strength: Jordan
5. Ability to finish in traffic: Jordan
6. Jumpshot: Kobe
7. Range: Kobe
8. Post skills: Jordan
9. Defense: Jordan
10. Passing: Jordan
11. Rebounding: Jordan
MJ came to a team that had never won a thing and turned it into the most dominant franchise in professional sports for almost a decade. Kobe will never be able to make that claim. He had his chance. He could have gone to Charlotte and done for the Hornets what MJ did for the Bulls. But he didn't want to go there.
12. Elbows: Kobe
I love the elbow to Manu's grill...probably the only time he took a legit fall
That's how you gotta handle floppers though
I agree evn with 3 moe les he will never reach Mj's staus in most people's eyes ....and I don't care.
Kobe is teh 2nd best 2 guard and If he continues at a high rate I would even bump Larry for kobe on my alltime staring 5 (since '1980) but for now it's still ...
Magic
Jordan
Bird
Duncan
Kareem
If Kobe continues to excel than i put him at 2 and bump Jordan to 3 because Mj was really a SF even though Kobe was taller ...plus we all know Duncan is really a center ...
Agree that MJ is better overrall but a lo of this is subjective.
MJ looks quicker (and well maybe) but remember league was MUCH slower then especially BIGS. Unless we timed then no way to tell but MJ is stronger by looking at film and is a better no, stronger finisher at the rim everything else is subjective
Kobe has better foot work and handle as well ...better FT shooter (I think)
Most everything else favors MJ ALSO you cant say he is a better passer that is subjective more willing ...agreed.
