With Kobe Bryant having won five NBA les, one away from Michael Jordan’s six, the comparisons between the two are inevitable. But Phil Jackson, who coached Bryant’s Lakers and Jordan’s Bulls to all 11 of their combined les, thinks Jordan is in his own stratosphere and that the conversations comparing the two stars should stop.
"Kobe has patterned himself after Michael, and there are a lot of identical things there,” Jackson told the Los Angeles Times, “but it's one thing to hope to be like him, it's another thing to be like him."

"I'm with (ESPN's) Bill Simmons on this," he added. "We have to take Michael Jordan out of the equation. Stop comparing anyone to Michael Jordan. It's just not fair. He was remarkable. ...
"(Kobe) doesn't shoot the same percentage (.455) as Michael (.497). He has the same characteristics as Michael, but he's not the same player. It takes nothing away from him — he's a great player in his own right.
No .
Jordan is locked at 6.
Bryant already has 5, + Gasol, Bynum, Odom, Artest, Fisher + Buss' riches at his command.
It ain't over yet. Not by a long shot.

Kobe a better human being...MJ allegedly got his dad, who allegedly ed his own daughter killed....Kobe should never be compared with this clan....
Not Ever....Now Marinate on dem apples....
Kobe's a fine player, but the two players are simply on different tiers.
Is this news? Laker fans are the only ones idiot enough to compare Kobe to MJ.
Pippen>>>Kobe

kobe probably butthurt as
What's not over?
Kobe is good.
Jordan is supreme.
Takes a leak on Kobe any day of the week.
While it's true that Jordan is levels above Kobe, Phil Jackson's opinion is a little biased, tbh..it's evident that Phil detests Kobe..
you mean to tell me that after all I've done the past few days you s still haven't learnt the art of war.....GTFO....Phil is doing nothing but pushing Kobe over the 3 peat line...giving him just the fuel he needs....so that Phil can be immortalized...
When you s truly ready to learn from me how this works then holla at me...
Someone needs to whip out that Wennington troll.
Testify, Brother Kool, testify!!!!!!!!!!!!!!you mean to tell me that after all I've done the past few days you s still haven't learnt the art of war.....GTFO....Phil is doing nothing but pushing Kobe over the 3 peat line...giving him just the fuel he needs....so that Phil can be immortalized...

Laker fan's belief system has been shattered by Jackson
Ain't over yet, Daddy. Jordan is stuck at 6.
Bryant has many years left.
You tell 'em, Phil
off lefty...
off lefty...
Yeah no ! One would only have to look at the previous 4 sentences of the article the OP no doubt just happened to miss on the cut and paste. OBSES...
"I hope I have no regrets about coming back this year. When I saw how Kobe was struggling physically last year, Fish [Derek Fisher] was getting older," and then he stops himself and brings the conversation back to Bryant.
"Kobe was really hurt; people don't give him enough credit. He's a remarkable person, remarkable."
"Do you like him?" I ask.
"It's not about liking him," he says. "It's about admiring his courage. There's only one individual I know that's like that, and that's Michael Jordan...
Yeah... lot of detest there.

Courage =/= playing ability.
Not talking about courage or play. HoBoy is always posting that PJ detests Kobe and yet that simply isnt the truth. Nothing more.
Ill leave the kobe MJ GOAT debates for all you. Neither is im my opinion. In fact, neither is in my top 3.
I like Kobe's playing ability just fine.
To be fair, you can still despise someone and make an honest observation about them.
I personally don't think Phil despises Kobe, so that's for you and Harlem to debate (best feud on Spurstalk).
Phil's comments about Kobe, in his book, which was the only time he wasn't employed by the Lakers(since he first developed a relationship with Kobe), speak volumes about his feelings about Kobe..
Implying that somebody is a rapist is
Kobe hotdogging, abandoning the triangle pissing off PJ and factor in the fact that PJ said Artest understands the Triangle better than Kobe, it's clear to everyone that PJ is firmly in Kobe's corner and in the same class as MJ.
