Kobe compared to Jordan is alike apples to oranges = Second To None!

Kobe will be a first ballot Hall of Famer when he retires and that's enough Honorable Mention in my book.

Regardless of mannerism, Kobe can play his @$$ off!

Jordan was an Excellent Player!

[MR.V]

C'mon....

Kobe could never and will never be like mike, mike was a CLUTCH PLAYER, A GO TO MAN AND WOULD 99.9% NEVER FAIL....HE DESTROYED MANY TEAM DREAMS AND WAS A KNOWN ASSASSIN IN AND OUT THE PAINT.

dont get me wrong Kobe is good, hell, great at times but he will never and cant be even compared to jordan, Kobe plays like Jordan if anything so i can somewhat see the comparison but i've seen games where it has been 5 seconds on the clock and Kobe get the ball and i would say 81% of the time kobe would hit, the dude is not consistant.

the only way my mind would change about Kobe is if he wins this year on his will, not bynum's, not gasoul, his.

Jordan 90% of the time put the team on his back along with pippen and kept the team he had won many rings with pretty much intact, unlike kobe who needed himself surrounded by players WHO CAN HELP HIM!.

dude JORDANS BRAND AND SNEAKERS SELL NOW MORE THAN EVER!.

just my 2 cents, not hating on kobe, i'm entertained and annoyed by him sometimes only cause he knows he's the shit and isn't really humble about it, he has yet to prove to me that he can carry a team and let the team come thru for him, JORDAN HAD THAT, KOBE now has that so let's see if it can lead to a championship and maybe i'll shut up.

Jordan was to basketball what Pele was to soccer: the sport's biggest star when it became a global phenomenon. Jordan's career coincided with the international growth of espn, hip hop, mtv, and towards the latter part of his career, the Internet. He also was the face of nike, gatorade, and many other brands when they became globally recognized. That's why he'll always be bigger than a collection of stats, plays or wins to most people around the world. As a knicks fan, i hated that he killed us every year but i had to begrudgingly respect him. Kobe might be the sport's equivalent to Jordan today in terms of being its biggest star, but he doesn't have the benefit of those external factors/trends/changes that framed Jordan's legacy.

Excellent post. I think Kobe is definitely the greatest in the league right now. But he'll have to win at least three rings from this point and have a role player that he groomed that's good as Scottie Pippen to even be mentioned in the same status as Jordan. In addition, Kobe's gonna have to be named to the all-defensive team a few more times, score 40 points in a finals game while having the flu, win another dunk contest, win several more scoring titles, score 63 points against a team you're expected to lose against, score 55 in the Garden in the first model of your shoe, know when to pass the ball during the twilight of your career, etc.

In essence, Kobe's got a whole lot more to do.

"After reading this article, I was compelled to do some research on Jemele Hill's experience and background to gauge if her opinion that Kobe is better than Michael is credible. In an interview with "The Starting Five," she makes it clear that she has not liked Jordan for "half of her life" because she did not agree with the way he "went about his craft." She implies that as a popular black athlete, Jordan did not take enough initiative to give back to his community and did little in his position as a role model. Her sentiments towards Jordan resonate loudly in her comparison of Kobe and Jordan, and it appears that she has a bias towards him. I think people tend to forget just how athletically gifted Michael was throughout the late 80's and early 90's, visit youtube.com and perform a query on Michael's earlier days. People have been comparing Kobe with Michael for ages, and I believe that the two are not on the same level to warrant a comparison. Jordan is FAR more accomplished than Kobe, and at the same age, Jordan was certainly more athletically gifted. He was quicker off the dribble, a BETTER defender (can't argue with his numbers: 3.16 steals per game in 87-88?!?! 2.35 steals per for his career??!!!), a higher leaper, and a more consistent scorer. When I watch the two play, it seems like the game came much easier to Jordan (he looks as if he's not really trying all that hard, yet still makes a serious impact on the outcome of the game) versus Kobe."

Michael Jordan was The Best because of his work ethic.What ever "natural" ability he had,he had to work to be The Best,and,that he did.

In our generation Michael Jordan was the greatest player who ever played,but when I talk to a lot of older fans they tell me Oscar Robertson was the best and you know what he did average a triple double one year.

I agree with you about KB being better than Worthy. But the initial argument was about a female sports writer with a predetermined dislike for Jordan, who said Kobe was better than Jordan. While the stats obviously prove thats not true, I do believe we're watching the greatest player since Jordan. Every 20 years or so, that kind of player comes along, at least since the mid-70's (ie, Erving, Jordan, Kobe).

I agree with you that he walks in Jordan's footsteps (and Hill's agenda) but cats on here (and Michael Jordan fans in Chicago) won't give him that much credit and attempt to marginalize him as if he can't play.....and the gnashing of teeth and outrage when he was flirting with coming to the Bulls proves that

There are so many moves in the post that Worthy used that I rarely see anymore, best drop step ever.:respent:

Totally agree with that, that's enough for me, I enjoy kobe and the lakers right now.
Another point, for me as good as MJ was (probably best player ever), the teams he played in the finals (portland (drexler), phoenix (barkley and an old kj), seattle (what, payton?), Utah were not as competitive as the best teams right now, imo!!). I know true hardcores utah fans who believe that the jazz right now are a better team (way deeper) than the Stockalone show of the 90's and they are not even in the western conference finals. San Antonio is a fantastic team far better than these western teams of the 90's, that's my opinion, so if kobe wins it (but it'll be very difficult) you'll have to respect that, that's why I think the comparison is not so fair.

Mike, you believe Kobe to be the greatest player ever? I'm sure you've seen a lot but could you elaborate? I've always thought that when you compare players, you have to compare their skill and their accomplishments. Prior to Kobe, I always rated Magic (only player I ever seen or heard of to play five positions in the NBA) and MJ as right next to each other. When I compare skillsets and the physical talents Kobe and MJ, I would say that Kobe is a better shooter and he combines the savy and high post play of the veteran MJ (post retirement 1) with the athletic ability of young MJ. Both were/are lock down defenders. But MJ seemed to loom larger and dominate the games he played a little more. Also, another remarkeable aspect of MJ's game was the way he transformed his game as his athletic ability began to decline. I've not seen anyone transform their game except maybe Bernard King post knee surgery. Even MJ's 2nd comeback was somewhat remarkeable given his age and his size. but, he just couldn't cover anybody.

So, at this point, I would rate MJ ahead of Kobe. But Kobe has a lot of years left to surpass MJ's accomplishments. I don't think people can really make a call until Kobe is done or his game has dropped off.

Regarding Malone, he is also credited with teaching Hakeem a lot about the game, particularly the fundamentals of offensive rebounding. I always had him as one of my top ten centers (not top five though) and he played on my all time favorite team: '82-'83 76er's.

Well, back when Jordan was winning rings, the Eastern Conference was the stronger conference, unlike today. Seattle was probably the weakest team the Bulls beat in the finals because they didn't run plays and didn't really have a strategy. They were just incredibly scrappy. Phoenix was a really good team. Portland was better team on paper than Chicago was, and Utah had one of the best guard-forward (Stockton-Malone) combinations in the history of the sport, in addition to running the pick and roll better than any team since Boston of the '80s. But the Bulls greatest hurdle and nemesis was the Detroit Pistons. The Bad Boys had the best defense and were the deepest team I've ever seen in NBA history. Their bench could have started on many other teams. There hasn't been a team Kobe's had to face that was that deep in the roster. They even had the Jordan rules, which worked from 1987-1991.

[djmarbll]

McHale was a better shooter than Worthy, but Worthy was much faster. He was definitely the beneficiary of many fastbreaks led by Magic.

Yeah, I think the Knicks and Utah could have won a few championships if it wasn't for Jordan's will to win. I think Kobe's still developing that now.

[Christophe]

You're right E., those bad boys were deep, and it was only when the team collapsed that the bulls took over (+ the fact that Pippen has developped into a huge player)

[Daniel, Grand Duke of Stony Island]

Yeah, I think the Knicks and Utah could have won a few championships if it wasn't for Jordan's will to win. I think Kobe's still developing that now.Jordan had gravitas, and it was so vast that, when he turned it on, an entire team of journeymen rose to the level of champions. Scottie Pippen discovered his own gravitas via the challenge of existing as Jordan's chosen. I do believe he was frightened of his own dominance after the first post-Jordan season, when he led that fragmented and emotionally dysfunctional team of hacks to the edge of a championship.

He only felt comfortable in a god-like state when Jordan was next to him. Its as if he would flex it just to show his opponents it was still there, as during the final game of the Western Conference finals, when, by halftime, the Blazers ran up 40 points over the Lakers, whom the media already awarded the series. Pip was everywhere on the court, just like that Dr. Octopus shit he did against the Pacers two post-season's in a row. He was broke-up - bad knees 'n all - but then he would just turn on a dime and seem like a god.

He would show this majesty and then just turn it off. He always had this wry smile afterward, as if to say, "Oh...y'all know..."

Scottie Pippen is my favorite b-ball player of all time.

[Mike Barnes]

Reggie McKeever, I don't consider Kobe Bryant, To be the greatest player ever, Because, Too me, A cat, Who is considered, The greatest player ever, Has to carry a crew, Beyond their limitations(Like, What, Michael Jordan did with The Chicago Bulls in the 90's), Though, The competition in the NBA in

The 90's, Was nowhere near, The competition in the NBA during the 80's, It was alot more easier for the Chicago Bulls to win 6 Championships, Reggie, When i compare cats from different era's, I look for a cats production in big games(Playoff and Championship games), As well, The crew that a cat is

Playing for(If a cat has a bomb squad, Such as the case with Magic Johnson,Larry Bird,Julius Erving,Bill Russell,Moses Malone,Etc, Opposed to the crews that, Michael Jordan,Isiah Thomas,Akeem, Had to put on their backs and win championships with/LOL), Reggie, No disrespect to Magic Johnson,Larry Bird,Kareem,Wilt Chamberlain,Jerry West,Etc, But, A cat that has a set crew(A bomb Squad/LOL), With all the holes filled(Very little

Weaknesses/LOL), Shit, Myself,Yourself, And, 3 young ladies on the board can play for crew's, Such as The Los Angeles Lakers(Of the 80's), Boston Celtic's(Of the 60's and 80's),Etc, And, Win at least 1 championship(LOL),

Reggie, I do agree with your assessment of Kobe Bryant's talents, compared to Michael Jordan's my man(Good lookin with that moneygrip), Though, I've always felt that Michael Jordan was better than Magic, Because, Michael Jordan had to carry The Chicago Bulls, Whenever a game was tight

(WORD/LOL), Michael Jordan did not have Kareem,Jammal Wilkes,Norm Nixon,Bob McAdoo,Mitch Kupchak,James Worthy,Sam Perkins,Etc, To hop it to, Whenever a game was mad tight(Mad options that Magic enjoyed for 13 years in the NBA/LOL), But, The main reason why i've always felt that Michael Jordan was better than Magic(Or, Kobe Bryant, Or, Anyone else/LOL),

Is, Michael Jordan played D(WORD), A cat who can play both ends of the court(Unlike, Magic,Julius Erving,Bernard King,Etc), Can most definitely, Impact the outcome of any game that he plays in(WORD), Michael Jordan did not take a possession off(WORD), Michael Jordan used to hold cats like Mitch Richmond,Reggie Miller,Joe Dumars,Allen Houston,Clyde Drexler(Remember

What, Michael Jordan did to Clyde Drexler in the 1992 NBA championship games my man/LOL),Latrell Sprewell,Reggie Lewis,Andrew Toney,Etc, To no Dribbles(WORD), The only reason why Reggie Miller, Would score on Michael Jordan, Is, Reggie Miller, Had to run off of, 15 picks to get off his shot/LOL,

Reggie, The only cats that i've ever seen, Rock, Michael Jordan, On a regular basis, Is, Lloyd Free(With, The Cleveland Cavalier's in the early to mid 80's), And, Vinnie Johnson, Reggie, This is not a New York, Biased type comment my man, But, The reason why, I feel that Lloyd Free and Vinnie Johnson, Both, Used to let Michael Jordan have it with both barrels, Is Both, Lloyd Free and Vinnie Johnson, Has moves, Strong with the pill(Ball/LOL), Along with keeping Michael Jordan off balance, When it comes to Michael Jordan,

Staying infront of Lloyd Free and Vinne Johnson, But, The main reason why Michael Jordan could not check Lloyd Free and Vinnie Johnson, Is, Both , Lloyd Free and Vinnie Johnson, Could shoot it from the water fountain(If necessary/LOL), Another cat who used to give Michael Jordan mad problems,

Was, Allen Iverson(Who has mad moves to go along with being speed racer fast and mad small too/LOL), Reggie, Kobe Bryant, Is the only cat in the NBA, That i would pay to watch play(Not on a regular basis though/LOL), Because,

Kobe Bryant plays both ends of the court with a passion(Alot like Michael Jordan used to do), Reggie, Your most definitely corect in regards to your comments about Moses Malone, Teaching, Akeem the science, During the summers at The University of Houston, Back in the early to mid 80's my man, Because, Guy Lewis(Former Head coach for The University of Houston, During The 80's, Was not teaching Akeem, Shit/LOL).
