In michael's case it's not arrogance, it's supreme confidence, michael in his prime was the exact same as kobe just faster, stronger, a better leader, better passer, and greatest trash talker of all time. Mike will have you mentally destroyed before the game and physically demolish you throughout the game. It's no contest.

[@jebjexx]

facts are facts? :) jordan made more assists, points, rebounds, steals and blocks than kobe each game. Jordan had better rookie season than kobe had his mvp season. by the stats. Jordan has more than double the clutch% than kobe has. 50% MJ to Kobes 23% (league average 25%) Kobe less clutch than the league average! Jordan has more win shares than kobe. Jordan has fewer turnovers than kobe pr. game. kobe spend more than 5 season more than MJ, to get just ahead of jordan in points (in a much weaker era than Jordan) kobe had much better teammates than jordan had. thoughout entire career.Kobe had many all star players. top big men and great players. Jordan had pippen most of his career. and 3 seasons with Pippen and Rodman. KObe had players like Shaq ll time great big man. Malone, rodman, steve Nash, Dwight Howard, Odom, Gausol, horry, exel, fischer etc. Jordan got 3 time steal leader AND scoring titles same season. Jordan had 10 scoring titles. Kobe had 2. jordan was scoring leader, steal leader and dunk champion, defensive player of the year, all star mvp and mvp. all this in 1988 season. jordan was +40 years old when retire. Kobe was 38. MJ made far better stats than kobe even though being older than kobe. Jordan played more games than kobe each season. kobe averages 25 points. jordan 30,1 points. even though Jordan played in a era that made scoring more difficult. and Jordan was older than Kobe. jordan has better shooting% than kobe. only thing Kobe did "better! than jordan was scoring more points in 1 game (81 points) and spend more than 5 seasons more than MJ to get just ahead of jordan in points. personally I think MJ's 69 points+ 18 rebounds is better than kobes 81 points. in my oppinion. kobe has 0,02% better 3point % but it was in a 3 point oriented era. and easier to make 3 pointers than when Jordan played. also notice in playoff stats. Jordan has better 3point % and freethrow % than kobe. Jordan quit after 3 peat. than went into baseball on high level (he was not a great baseball player, but he was among the players who did most improvements on his baseball team. because He always work out and kept improving etc.not the best player, but among best improving players. then he returned to nba. and got another 3 peat. when Jordan were more than 40 years old, he outscored kobe when Kobe was 38. MJ 23 points pr.game +40 years old. kobe 38 years old- 17 points pr. game. Kobe averaged much more shots each game than MJ, but he stil scored 5,1 points less than MJ each game. Kobe have only 1 game in 20 years where he made more points than MJ. but MJ made more point each night and more assists etc. Kobe had few more points than MJ, but took him more than 5 seasons more than Jordan to do so (in a time easier to score than MJ's era) MJ +40 years old. averages 23 points and got more wins than Kobe did his last couple of seasons. Kobe 60 points game 38 years old, but averages only 17 point each game. Kobe had 1 game more points, but season averages lower. MJ played minimum 5 seasons less than Bryant, but stil he won more championships than Bryant. Kobe was final mvp 2/5 . Jordan was 6/6. in their championships Jordan rookie season 28 points. kobe rookie- 7,6 points. Kobe had little or no impact on Lakers when he started playing. Jordan and other greats made big impact fast. even in Kobes last game. 60 point was made with record high number of shot taken-Kobe spend almost as many shots making 60 points, as Chamberlain did when making 100 points. dont forget Lakers and Phil Jackson wanted to keep Shaq rather than Kobe. Kobe is good player, but not MJ level. I think overall Kobe no where near Jordan, but he has few great games. almost MJ level. and 1 game with more points than MJ. I had big hopes for Bryant, in beginning of his career. however I must admit he is far too overrated. great player, but not in top 10 all times greatest. often people forget the numbers and the facts, when saying Byant is best player ever. jordan had rookie season against players like Magic, Kareem, Bird and other all time greats. and stil he managed to average 28 points each game and made Bulls win much more games than the year before Jordan started. I think it shows Kobe has fighter mentality. when he played many poor seasons and had injuries etc. and stil kept playing until he got past Jordans total points. it show me he is hard working. but I cant deny the fact that he did average less than Jordan in everything and It took him many years more than Jordan to get more points. My all time favourits are Jordan, Magic, Bird, chamberlain, kareem, Hakeem, Russel,taylor, etc.

This shows you that nba was more popular in the 90's. This means that there is a ton of people who watched jordans bulls final runs and haven't watched since. So if word gets out to those people that someone is better than jordan now, they might be intrigued to watch one of kobe or lebron games. this can lead to them following a player, team, or even NBA again. Basically some of these analyst trying to recreate the following the nba had in the 80's and 90's by saying kobe/lebron is better than Michael without any facts to support there. Most of these analyst that say kobe/lebron are better work for espn, nbatv, or tnt which broadcast nba games. Id like to finish this rant by saying that i've used more stats and facts to back up my argument than most "experts" that work for espn, tnt, and nbatv have ever used in any debate.

You mean Kobe and the Lakers beat them in the finals in 2010. That was truly amazi… oh wait Rasheed Wallace 35, Ray Allen 34, Kevin Garnett 33, Paul Pierce 32 at the time. I think that is the definition of old. Except for Perkins who was 25. Don’t get me started with Rajon Rondo, who shot 26% from the free throw line in that series. Compared to the top players of the lakers. Derek Fisher 35, Kobe Bryant 31, Ron Artest 30, Lamar Odom 30, Pau Gasol 29. Talk about Kobe single handedly beating the Celtics, well you’re just being ignorant. Pau Gasol who played just as good As Bryant if not better in that series is not single handedly my friend. Kobe and Gasol were the two best players in those finals hands down. No disrespect to the Celtics. They just didn’t have the legs to finish the job. Might I add it went to 7 games and the lakers barely won by 4 points.

Kobe and mj are good. But let's not kid ourselves Kareem is the goat

[@patrisio3]

It is hard to compare given that they played in different eras (except for Jordan's Wizards period). So stats are really all that you can go by. With that, I take Jordan. Kobe has more defensive rebounds (5,342 vs. 5,004), more assists (6,122 to 5,633), and more career points. But it took him over 5,000 mins more to do so (46,774 to 41,011). They are tied in free throw % (84%). But after than, Jordan is tops in all other stats. Jordan wins with blocks (893 to 627), steals (2,514 to 1,882) in which he is 3nd all time in number of steals and 3rd in steals per game, offensive rebounds (1,668 to 1,458), field goal % (50% to 45%), points per game (30 to 25.5) in which Jordan is 1st all time, and points per min (28 to 25) in with again, Jordan is 1st all time. He has the highest points per average as a 38-40 year old (20-22 pts/game) and, although I hate one-game stats, is the only player to score more than 40 at age 40 and the oldest player to score more than 50 (at age 38). And of course the championships at 6 to 5. In 15 seasons, Jordan didn't miss a game in 9 of them, including his last as a 39/40 year old. In 19 seasons, Kobe didn't miss a game in ony 3 of them. As far as entertainment, Jordan has probably hit more reverses, flip shots (including is patented "slap the wrist"), scoops, double-clutches, triple-clutches, jump-over-the-defense dunks, in-your-face dunks, and change-hands-in-the-air shots more than anyone in history. I have actually had people in South Africa, England, the Philippines, and Australia tell me that the NBA is not the same without MJ, even with Kobe and Lebron playing.

[@MrFraiche]

That's because Jordan's fundamental footwork is impeccable, he rarely has to take tough shots. MJ's feet is quicker than Kobe's and he gets more air, so he's able to free himself better.

Lakers organization screwed KobeLegacy. The only good move they made was getting Pau Gasol instead of Kwame Brown. People talkin shit bout Kobe because of Howard and Nash situations. But everybody forgot about Howard's effort and Nash's age. also they got hurt. Of course, Kobe is not nice guy to chill with, it's hard to get along with him but this is problem of coaching staff it's their work to do. Lakers got rid of Phil Jackson, that's when things started going wrong. TBH Kobe had only 2-3 years of being greatest if Lakers kept that pace without screwing up, everybody would be like "Kobe is the greatest ever". IMO Kobe is the best player ever. But definitely not greatest leader and winner in basketball history. He isn't the rolemodel, historical winner and definitely not the Greatest Player in game of basketball. Also f*ck those guys saying Kobe is selfish, only thinking about his score. he got 5 rings, he absolutely knows what it takes to win championship, with this Lakerteam it's impossible to win, organization does shit. WHY TF U GET D.RUSSELL INSTEAD OF J.OKAFOR?! U SERIOUSLY THOUGHT ALDRIDGE GON GO TO YOUR TEAM? The only way for Lakers to be relevant again is to get R.Westbrook two years later. Get some 1st round picks and build team around Westbrook. if they got Okafor on this year's draft it would be hell of a show in Staples Centre

Jordan & Kobe double teams came because of the skill set eliteness two different type of double teams because they're different players this is why he says it's night & day if you watch coaches film it jumps out to you right away... if you think I'm lying go back even to the last finals this is why every team backs offf and let's him shoot... now that doesn't make he less of a great player.... but remember everything is in "comparison" to these two greats... he doesn't equal up.... hands down Jordan is the goat... but kobe is the hands down most elite maxed out skill set player to ever play in the NBA... he's the only player Jordan himself said can beat him in a one on one ... Everything an opponent is able to display on def Kobe has and elite response That's why every player in the NBA hesitates when the analyst try to ask them to put bron over Kobe or near Jordan, because they're view from to different perspectives The bases of perspective from a casual fan and many of these analyst are off, because they base if off of stats but a player is basing everything off film first I play in the NFL it's a term we use which is eyeb in the sky never lie...

[@Certified_miere414]

I Think Kobe Was A Better Shooter, Ball Handler & Quicker Than Jordan.

[@ninjachannel007]

+Jamiere Ramsey There are A LOT of players who are better shooters, ball handlers, and are quicker than Jordan. So why does MJ have the highest scoring average in the history of the NBA? Because of his hands. THAT is what separates Jordan from Kobe, and what separates him from everybody else. His enormous hands, which allowed him to do stuff in the air and routinely finish against contact and over 7-footers throughout his 1,000+ games. This is based on my personal observation of him playing, as well as the words of Phil Jackson, who is more qualified to talk about this than anybody. Also, go look at 1986 Jordan and rethink who is the better ball-handler and who is quicker. Look at 1996-98 Jordan and think again about who is the better shooter. Kobe misses A LOT. Jordan made less mid-long range shots because he took less mid-long range shots, but there isn't anybody who is better than older Jordan from mid-range. Kobe is thought of as a better 3-point shooter, but is career pct from deep is a terrible .331, while Jordans is a slightly more terrible .327. The difference, Kobe jacks up 3 after 3 until he gets hot, and people marvel at how great a shooter he is, while Jordan shot from deep as a last-second shot clock resort and got to the rim whenever he wanted to.

[@timjackson3445]

u do NOT want to challenge me in a debate because literally everyday of my life all I do is download old games and watch them. I have totes and totes and totes in storage of books that I’ve read dozens of times on players like such as Penny Hardaway, Hakeem Olajuwon, MJ, Pippen, Magic. I know their entire life story’s and backstories. In terms of pure knowledge u are not gonna beat me in a debate. Michael Jordan is credited with having the Highest vertical leap ever at 52 inches (although wilt chamberlain had a higher unofficial leap) so yes Michael Jordan was extremely athletic and could get to the rim at ease. But in terms of scoring, the majority of his points came from JUMP SHOTS that is a fact that cannot be disputed Russell has never even watched Michael Jordan. He tried to tell me that Jordan never shot jump shots when literally that’s all Michael Jordan did was SHOOT ! that was a dead giveaway that he’s never actually sat down n watched Michael Jordan play. That would be like someone saying “yeah I love rap music, I just listened to the new Tupac album yesterday “ at that point u know they’re full of shit Ok well here’s the thing, if ONE game (81 points) makes someone better than the other person then that means that Brady is better than Rodgers because Brady has the all time record for most passing yards in a SB. Who cares what someone did in one game? What matters is what u do in ur ENTIRE BODY OF WORK. The fact is Jordan has MORE 30 ppg seasons than: Lebron, Kobe, KD, Steph Curry, Westbrook, VC, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and many many others COMBINED !! Ask anyone if you would rather have ONE game where u scored 81 points or an entire career of consistent excellence Only a fool would take one game over an entire career Kobe isn’t anywhere close to Jordan on the level of scoring. Jordan averaged 50% shooting for his entire career. Kobe never even had a single season where he shot over 47%. Kobe needs to focus on getting above 45% before he’s mentioned on the same level as Jordan For one, Danny Ainge was a very good 3&D role player. He was actually an all star. He was 6’4 btw. He also shot 47% for his entire career and had 4 seasons shooting 40% or greater from 3 so I’m not sure what ur point is??? The fact is, anybody can highlight one game and say “look, here’s one game where he struggled see Jordan sucks” I can also play that game and show u a game where Lebron James literally had 5 points. Are we gonna act like Lebron sucks? What about that time Peyton Manning threw 6 INTs against the jets I believe it was? Does that mean Peyton Manning sucks? Ur not making any sense. I don’t think u realize how deep the Bulls were. Jordan’s backup, B.J. Armstrong had an explosive season where he actually was voted as an all star that year. They also still had Toni Kukoc who had career highs at the time. Also many people underrate just how really good Horace grant is. Of course the Bulls had a 2nd Star in Scottie Pippen who took on a bigger role. You’re also showing a lack of knowledge when u claimed Dennis Rodman was on that team. He wasn’t. Let’s not forget that Jordan was WAYYYYYY better without Phil Jackson than with him. Jordan had wayyyyyy better numbers (multiple seasons averaging 33+ ppg) before Phil Jackson was coach. He just didn’t have the team to compete until they drafted Scottie and got Horace Grant and hired Phil as coach. Jordan had his best individual seasons without Phil. He had his best team accomplishments with Phil Jordan on the wizards was the most amazing thing I ever saw in the nba. He finished the season averaging 23-6-4 if I recall correctly but that’s only because injury. Before injury he was actually averaging 25-6-5. And in fact as the season went along he was averaging 30+ down the stretch until the injury occurred. And this was in 2003 at the age of 40 going against Tmac, Kobe, Duncan, Garnett and all the other modern day stars Lebron and Kobe played against Russell J. Timmons Jordan would probably average closer to 49-50 in today's day and age due to the fact that defense is diminishing all over the place, there's only a handful of capable defenders for the athlete that he is that he would theoretically be unstoppable, it's amazing how much of a moron you are and don't wanna admire the greatness of Jordan it's crazy to me Listen and understand and I will teach. Jordan was a GOOD 3 pt shooter. Jordan would be a GREAT 3 pt shooter in this era because of COACHING and emphasis. These coaches today can turn ANYBODY into a good 3 pt shooter Take for example Marc Gasol. His first 8 seasons he attempted a combined 66 3s. In his 9th season he attempted 268 3 Take Brook Lopez. In his first 8 seasons he attempted 33 3 others. In his 9th season he attempted nearly 400 3s !! You’re trying to tell me that coaches can Centers like Brook Lopez and Marc Gasol into shooters but not Michael Jordan??? Get real In this era ur gonna let the most dangerous shooter ever shoot the ball and NOT put hands on him? Because putting hands on him didn’t even affect his shot. Without putting hands on Jordan he ain’t gonna miss promise you. He didn’t even miss when u put hands on U couldn’t have scripted it any better. It’s like something straight out of a Hollywood movie... a guy dominates for nearly 15 years. He’s old. Hes losing athleticism. His body is failing. The beatings he took are taking a toll on him. The Jazz are coming back and leading. Ur down by 1 point and you got ONE SHOT....one opportunity one chance. And it’s like time slowed down he faked left dribbled right crossed over back left step back took the shot and u know how MJ is he was the highest leader ever in nba history so when he took his shot it’s like time slowed down...... all the cameras are flashing... everyone’s holding their breath. Everyone’s looking up and he releases.... and the balls spinning in the air in slow motion... and it goes in and he wins the championship and walks off the court for the final time..: that was the last shot he ever took I cried when he made that shot.

And the STILL lost to the Knicks without Jordan. Oh, and another thing you haters like to leave off--MJ and Pippen were coming off of playing the WHOLE summer in 1992 heading into the 1992-93 season, so Phil Jackson purposely limited MJ's and Pip's minutes in practice and held them back in games to save as much energy for the playoffs. Horace Grant even got mad that Phil had Pip and MJ pace themselves in practice.

Kobe copy Jordan game so much that he had everything Jordan had and adding more to it. The pump fake threes. The foot work in the post. Kobe was nasty! Kobe is probably the complete offensive player we have ever seen. He was probably a 90 rating in all the categories in offense. Three, post, free throws, dribbling, and etc.

[@Problem41019]

Lol, and a lot of people say Justin Bieber is the next Michael Jackson. So fucking what?

[@iCantEditBro]

Lets compare basketball which is a sport and singing which isn't.

[@Problem41019]

Point is I can make a compilation video of people saying Bieber is the second coming. Doesn't prove shit. Anyone who really knows basketball and doesn't just follow trends knows Kobe don't belong is this convo

[@iCantEditBro]

Brandon Toussaint Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players to ever touch the game. Stats don't lie and neither do the videos of his insane clutch shots.

[@Problem41019]

What stats support your claim. God knows shooting percentage isn't one of them

[@MattHernandezz]

lol 45% shooting percentage isn't a good shooting percentage?? Considering how much Kobe takes jumpshots that's a pretty good shooting percentage

[@alfatrinininja]

No one in this video besides Jackson said Kobe is BETTER than Jordan

[@Dantryll58]

Kobe had the most assists out anyone when they passed the 30000 mark

[@DonkeyKongBMAC]

Phil Jackson's opinion was conveniently left out.

[@gip1279]

He said Jordan was better. I heard that. Kobe fans think they know better than Phil though.

Aldine Westfield shut up. You don’t know basketball. JORDAN IS BETTER IDIOT

[@bigbucks0692]

Kobe will not go down as the greatest. The only thing Michael has on him is that he knew how to play in a team system. Kobe didn't, he needed self sufficient players who could isolate and create on their own. He couldn't play correctly in a system. Michael could, people need to watch more film.

[@Vonslik69]

Excellent analogy Alec....I couldn't have said it better myself!!!

[@legendaryvikon]

Kobe didnt have anybody as good as scottie rodman and grant

[@jasonbourne1746]

As a die hard Kobe fan, who always likes to give Kobe an edge of Jordan in some aspects, Ill agree with you. Jordan was a better leader EARLIER than Kobe. But KObe had a horrible to work with in his peak where he distrusted his teammates. Even then, Jordan adapted earlier.

[@aznxblaz3]

but they had the same coach?

[@ryandelacruz9297]

***** oh so your saying Pau Gasol and Derek fisher are not good?

[@RockenDokkenlover91]

Kobe played in a stacked Western Conference and had a rival named Tim Duncan that was good enough to win as many championships as he did. Jordan and Lebronze never had an arch rival in the same conference. In other words they had shitty competition. It was a cake walk for them to get where they ended up. For Kobe and Duncan to win 5 rings a piece in the same conference during the same era just shows you how great the two of them are. My top 5 players are 1.MJ 1A.KOBE 2.Magic 3.Duncan 4.Kareem 5.Shaq

prime Lebron is nowhere near fuckin with prime Kobe....

[@bruhbroman5592]

Most "all time greatest" lists you look at usually don't even have Kobe in the top 5, while usually those same lists have Michael Jordan at number 1. When you break it all the way down they both had the same coach, though Phil Jackson was much more experienced by the time he got to the Lakers. Kobe played second fiddle to Shaq for the first 3 titles, and you can't deny that. Kobe was the man for his last two titles, the last of which he went 6 for 24 from the field in the deciding game 7. Jordan was the man for all 6 titles. Pippen was a great sidekick to have, but you can't say that he was better as a player than Shaq. Both offensively and defensively Jordan was better, though Kobe is a better shooter. Jordan has the statistical advantage in assisting, rebounding and steals. Also, when you think of Michael Jordan you can recall several highlight plays and highlight games, such as the Flu game, the 63 point game, the crazy layup in the 1991 finals, the 5 threes and then the shrug, the shot on Ehlo and the layup-steal-jumper sequence from the 1998 finals. When you think of Kobe the number one thing is the 81 points. Jordan's most memorable moments came in the playoffs and Kobe's 81 point game came in the regular season against a shitty Raptors team. And when it comes to their overall play in the playoffs, Jordan was better. And for those of you who say Jordan was nothing without Pippen and either Rodman/Grant, Kobe never won without and elite big man. Shaq was the most dominant player in the league in the early 2000's and Pau Gasol bailed Kobe out in that game 7 against the Celtics. So, to summarize, JORDAN IS BETTER THAN KOBE ALL TIME. You may disagree, and please, reply to me if you do and state why you believe this to be false.

[@SoCrazyIJusMightWork]

+Collin Workman The thing about Kobe playing 2nd fiddle to Shaq, is Shaq was so dominant (esp considering the level of comp at his position during his run) is that NOONe would be a #1 option over him, not even Jordan.

[@ninjachannel007]

+SoCrazyIJusMightWork Jordan was good enough that he'd still be the best player in the league with Shaq on his team. He'd just shoot .550 from the floor instead of .520 something like he did in his prime.

[@SoCrazyIJusMightWork]

+Ninja Channel Jordan was more a mid range to inside presence. Him & Shaq would work (obviously) but u can't just assume he's be better from the field, since both those players are inside scorers, it would create congestion. Dynamics wise, Kobe and his mid to long range approach fit with Shaq well cuz it spreads the floor

[@SoCrazyIJusMightWork]

+Ninja Channel & before u respond & say Wade was mid to inside range, Wade was a freak & had an ability to drive to the basket about as quick as someone like Tony Parker. That is another dynamic altogether

[@ninjachannel007]

SoCrazyIJusMightWork I wasn't going to mention Wade, but we're talking about prime Jordan here right (1988-93)? Because there's no one who is more of a freak driving to the basket than prime Jordan. Also, you don't understand how spacing works. Jordan is a slasher, and he posts and attacks from the wing, not the left block, so shaq could still sit on the opposite block when Jordan makes his move....only the big couldn't leave shaq to contest when Jordan gets into the paint. Which means Jordan's FG% would skyrocket because he'd only have to finish over whomever is guarding him instead of 7 footers who come over to help like it was his ENTIRE CAREER. And if he did what he did with 7 footers coming over every single time to help, imagine if they couldn't. Also, the triangle is full of 5-2 situations where the SG cuts and Shaq gets the ball on the block and either hits the cutter or makes his move. Only that cutter is Michael Jordan. And Jordan NEVER had another dominant offensive player on his team, so he put up those numbers with the D pretty much geared toward stopping just him. Yes, Pippen is a legend, but he was more a do-every-thing-pretty-good offensive player (and a dominant defensive player), not an unstoppable force like Shaq.

[@joedon-hb4nl]

phil jackson is on record saying kobe is more offensively skilled

[@jeisreis5083]

lot of haters on here.. lol, When lebron, jordan and kobe all played with scrubs, lebron has done a much much better job. jordan was 1-9 in the playoffs w/o pippen, never won a series. he won when magic, bird and thomas were getting old and having injuries. kobe has 3 sidekick rings, when shaq left he didn't make the playoffs in 2005, two 1st round exits in 2006 and in 2007. he became relevant again with the biggest froncourt during that time gasol, bynum, odom) he also has ariza, artest that guards the opposing best wing player. kobe was saved by gasol and artest during game 7 of the 2010 finals, even phil jackson thought gasol shoul've won the fmvp, kobe is the only fmvp in history that didn't lead his team in PER. lol, meanwhile lebron james took the shitty cavs to the finals in 2007, had the best record in 2009 and 2010. when he left in free agency the cavs became the worst team in the league, from 60+ wins to 60+ loses.. he makes his teammates much better than they actually were unlike kobe who makes teammates worse. howard was a monster in orlando but kobe made him just a rebounder in los angeles, nash was a maestro in phoenix led the league in assits before he came to los angeles but when he played with kobe he became a spot up shooter and averaged 4-6 assists only. lol, 2014-2015 season kobe is bricking and bricking shots, 37 shots to get 39 pts? wow!! he doesn't care if they win or lose he just wants to pass mj on the scoring list. most bricked shots in history and his minions would say he's a killer for taking ton of shots.. delusional fanboy..smh

***** lebron wouldn't get past the first round on the west. Instead he hoards all the eastern talent to his team(cause of course he doesn't wanna play against players that would school him) and breezes by the below 500 teams in his conference. It shows on his finals record

so what......jordan aint win nothing until he got an all star cast......kobe won 2 championships with a sub par team

[@IsaacMSingleton1]

But they told me people only said this after kobe died.

[@sir5racealot]

None of them use a single statistic, they are simply give an opinion which has most likely influenced by excitement and emotion following a Kobe performance. Singling out a performance on one game and making a conclusion about a players legacy or all time ranking is completely pointless, as a prisoner of the moment will often fail to actually consider an option other than the one in front of them. When it comes down to the numbers, Michael Jordan consistently performed better than Kobe Bryant, which is why he is the greater of the two.

Kobe has better range than MJ but MJ's fg% is higher... and that is because shot selection. MJ's shot selection was just way better than Kobe's and so MJ's FG% is higher. But to say Kobe is a better shooter than MJ isn't true.

[@emmanuelenyinwa1443]

In Jordan's time, what was called as fouls also prevented a lot of big men and guards from getting too close to Michael.

[@facelessandnameless]

Fg% is lower for Kobe because he shot A LOT more threes.

[@gip1279]

+Emmanuel Enyinwa please, a rusty, 40 year old Jordan averaged 20 points a game in the league in lobes era. What do you think a prime Jordan would've done?

[@emmanuelenyinwa1443]

First, Jordan did not "average 20 at 40". He began the 2003 season as a 39 year old, and turned 40 after 52 games. Also, Jordan "averaged 20" by taking the most shots on a terrible team, even though he shot 41% and 44% from the field, and only kept his artificial ppg up with a lot of bogus "fouls" that kept him going to the line as if he was still an elite player. Jordan kept hoisting 3s even though he shot an embarrassing 19% in 2003 and 29% his last season. He, in other words, went out the way he came in, hogging the ball and gunning his way to loss after loss.

[@gip1279]

+Emmanuel Enyinwa he averaged 20 as a wizard. I don't give a shit how he did it. The point is that he did it. Averaging 20 is averaging 20. What's wrong with you kids?

[@Lovemyfriends1]

[@loitersquadX]

[@dirtymusiclive]

Until Kobe 3 peats, retires, and then 3 peats again, retires again, and then comes back at 40 years old still dropping 50 points, still hitting game winning shots, still making defensive plays, and then retires again with 10 scoring titles, averaging 30 points a game for his career, with 6 championships, and 6 finals MVP'S, 3rd all time in scoring, 3rd all time in steals, the only guard to ever record 200 blocks and 100 steals in a single season, the only player to ever win a scoring title and a defensive player of the year in the same season... Until KB does all that. I don't wanna hear SHIT!

[@HaganeGinga]

if kobe can overcome his achilies heel injury that micheal never had sure dumb fuck. sure.

[@dirtymusiclive]

HaganeGinga Even if Kobe recovers from his injury, or better yet, even if Kobe never got injured he STILL wouldn't get 10 scoring titles, OR 6 finals mvp's, Or 200 blocks and 100 steals in the same season. Nor would he surpass Jordan as 3rd all time in steals. And if he passes Jordan for 3rd all time scoring it will be because he played 17 plus seasons compared to Jordan playing 15 seasons. So imagine what Jordan's number would be had he not retired the first two times. But you're quite the fucking genius aren't you? Lol!

[@Alig4realz]

Jordan had Rodman and Pippen. Kobe had Pau and Bynum, not comprable at all. Call me when MJ gets 81 points, call me when he breaks 70. What about 12 three's in one game, 15 all star appearances. What about 50+ points in 4 consecutive games, oh yeah forgot, call me when Jordan gets as many assists as Kobe. By the way to everyone saying Jordans a better shooter, he's not. The only reason Michael has a higher percentage is because the majority of his shots were 10-15 jumpers and or layups/dunks. Kobe's shots are mostly from 16-20 feet, if you compare distance to distance, kobe kills Jordan, and I'm not even gonna mentions Jordan's three point shooting.

[@dirtymusiclive]

Alig4realz Kobe had Shaquille and Fisher. Jordan didn't have Rodman until his second 3 peat, and Pippen had to develop into the player he became. And he became that player under Jordan. Did Jordan have a hall of fame center? And miss me with the 81 point game. Wilt had 100 so does that make him greater than Kobe? Jordan came off of an 8 month layoff from a broken foot and dropped 63 on Larry Bird and the Celtics in the playoffs which is still the record and just as impressive if not more impressive than Kobe's 81 point game. Yeah Kobe has 15 all star appearances but Jordan only played 15 seasons. Jordan has more points blocks and steals than Kobe. The dude scored 97 points in two games at 40 years old. Does Kobe have a defensive player of the year award? Kobe's last finals appearance was sub par. Metta World Peace saved the day for the Lakers, not Kobe. Jordan's 6th ring not only did he steal the ball but he hits the final shot for the title. That shit was MYTHICAL. Imagine what Jordan's numbers would be if he played 17 or 18 seasons! This isn't even a debate lol.

[@Alig4realz]

Young Don You're saying Pau and Bynum are hall of famers, and what else Derek Fucking Fisher? that's hilarious. Metta World Peace please, he sucked the whole finals except game 6, not even worth mentioning. Jordan always had Pippen who was the best defensive player in the game. Pip played defense while Jordan chucked up shots. The point is Jordan had a much better supporting cast. It's also true Kobe is a better shooter than Jordan, not debatable. Also you're example of an old Jordan playing well is pretty pathetic, Kobe plays better at 34 and 35 than any player ever. To say Jordan's 63 point game,(which by the way wasn't enough to stop Bird from winning the game,) is more impressive than Kobe's 81 point game is ridiculous.
