    • Bryant is on the cusp of yet another chapter, one that could finalize his imprint on the game as 1(b) to Michael Jordan's 1(a)
    • Jackson said Bryant is "still as driven as he's ever been," but admitted noticing a historic context to that drive with Jordan's six rings now within sight.
    • As with everything else in Bryant's world these days, the body of work speaks for itself.

    It's there for Bryant, within sight now. By default if he rings twice more in succession he'll be en led to legitimately argue the point, as we all will. We're just suckin' wind right now.

    LMAO Kobe isn't even in the same class as Jordan and never will be. Devin Brown could average as many points per game as Kobe if he was allowed to jack up 25 shots a game.

    Kobe's currently in his 14th, Jordan played 15 (2 with the Wizards). Even if Kobe wins this season and next, he still couldn't touch Jordan

    yes

    Jordan played 13 seasons as a Chicago Bull, which cemented his GOAT status

    Kobe is currently in his 14th season

    As of this season:

    Kobe's post game > Jordan's post game

    Skill-wise? It's closer than most think. Throw out the nostalgia and media accolades for a second.

    Nonsense. Kobe has a publicized meeting with Olajuwon and now suddenly people are drinking the koolaid. Cmon lol. There's nothing Kobe is doing in the post now that Jordan hadn't done for years man.

    And I'm not throwing out the accolades and all that because that's what separates the two players. Accolades show consistency at being the best. You can't throw out 5 MVPs and 6 Finals MVPs as if they mean nothing. That's what makes Jordan the measuring stick for SGs. It's nice to talk about skills and all that but it's how you maximize those skills and the results. Jordan maximized his skills with a great b-ball IQ and the results were 6 championships. Once he learned how to win the man took that knowledge and never stopped winning. Kobe went backwards. The more championships the Lakers won it seemed the dumber he became. Kobe was a gunner, not a leader.

    And that's another thing. You have to look at quality WITH quan y. Meaning, yeah there's a possibility Kobe may end up 6 rings but in context to how he won those rings he still won't be able to touch Jordan's legend. Jordan won 6 championships as bonafide numero uno. He never won no damn championship putting up 21 ppg on 44% shooting (mixing good games with horrible ones) like Kobe. Mike never won a ring putting up crap numbers in the Finals. Kobe has though. Jordan's playoff numbers all over Kobe's in every single way possible. He has quality and quan y on his side. And also the fact that he never lost one battle on the big stage. Kobe has not only lost in the Finals he's done it in embarrassing fashion stringing together some of the most putrid games you'll ever see from a superstar not named Lebron James.

    I know Laker fans don't want to hear that but those are just the facts man.

    .
    Proof you haven't really watched Kobe play this season.

    MJ never had the left hand jump hook Kobe is abusing people with - Kobe's left in general is crazy good this season and almost as consistent as his right when he's near the hoop.

    Jordan's post game was ridiculously good. But Kobe's is a more versatile and punishing version of MJ's with some Dream and Timmy mixed in to put it over the top.

    The major differences between Jordan and Kobe are that Jordan never lost in the Finals while Kobe has lost twice. Also, Jordan never had a hall of fame center to play with in his career.

    Bull Kobe is just as likely to completely brick a left hand shot as he is to make one. Sometimes he doesn't even catch rim when he tries to go with the left hand. Don't overrate Kobe's post game based on a not-so-sure left hand shot. I'm talking footwork and post moves here. There was nothing Jordan couldn't do in the post.

    Your logic is emotionally flawed. When has Kobe put up crap numbers in the finals and won? It's never happened. Sure he's lost 2 finals but has more than enough time to make up for it. I know you're ting bricks because he's about to surpass MJ in les but records are meant to be broken. MVP's are selected by the media it has nothing to do with actual performance. Sure MJ was great but he was insanely beloved by the media (they accepted him gambling and cheating on his wife and all)..Kobe hated by the media because he's a legit threat to MJ's legacy so go figure...of course MJ would have more MVP's which is a MEDIA'S PICK AWARD SIMPLE AND PLAIN...NEVER did MJ have to play in the Shadow of perhaps the Biggest Name and Biggest FREAK OF NATURE that has ever stepped on an NBA court. Shaq Oneal. Say what you want but if MJ had played with a Shaq in his prime he'd be exactly in Kobe's situation. Those Lakers 3 peat teams were built around Shaq not Kobe but when it was time to actually win them Kobe was on the court leading them to victory with Shaq in foul trouble. Now that the Lakers are "truly building" around Kobe (and not incubating) for the past 2 years they've been to the finals...So judge Kobe if you must just rememeber that he's 31 with 4 rings and MJ won his last when he was 36...So if Kobe wins out to MJ's age that leaves him with 9 rings.

    I see you protect "your" facts with blinders on to the real situation because if you'd opened your ing eyes you would have saw that. Of course MJ will have better numbers than Kobe he never played with a domineering and jealous ball dominant center...MJ would have had the same issues with Shaq that Kobe did. I think Kobe's numbers with Shaq is more impressive than MJ because of the simple fact that he did it with Shaq on the team and he didn't let the NBA's (at the time) most dominant alpha male shape and decide his future. That's more impressive than what MJ did in my opinion.

    Pippen wasn't a hall of fame Center but he was a Top 50 of All Time player and arguably one of the best defenders ever.

    Pippen was a head case (see Pistons le years) and did what he was told by MJ...Shaq and Kobe fought...Pippen isn't on the Level of MJ , Kobe , or Shaq...pretty Big Difference...


    greatest 50 off all-time my ass...
