So in other words you don't have an answer? Just say that instead of belittling the though of Kobe being compared to him, as if he is Ben Uzoh or somebody.

The man only has 2 titles as The Man.
Mike has 6.
That's the only reasoning needed.
We could go on all day in here. But I'm not about to waist my time.
Since when does taking a young man's phone call to your personal cell phone about how to do the fade away jumper like you do and various other tips not considered "being cool"?Originally Posted by kash55
This thread would be a lot more interesting if you chose to focus on the relationship between MJ and Kobe. It's nice to see that for once MJ is cool with someone like Kobe, but then again he'll go say a backhanded compliment that Kobe is "probably in the top 10 SG's of all time". lol.

I gave you your answer:

I love the way you put thisOriginally Posted by N ll K 3
Honestly?
That fact that people try to even argue it boggles my mind and makes me question your knowledge of basketball/true agenda in the matter at hand.
The man only has 2 titles as The Man.
I'm not about to get into an argument about this because quite frankly, Kobe doesn't deserve to have one be made (if it's in a serious manner).
And that is not a cop-out.
No shots at Kobe whatsoever, in this particular case he was fighting a battle that was never winnable from the beginning.
I don't think that is a good enough answer/reason why it isn't close. I never said Kobe > Jordan, but I want to know why it shouldn't even be discussed.
A better question is why does Kobe deserve to have this be a serious discussion? What does he bring to the table that's better than Mike that really matters at the end of the day?
I'll give you a chance to prove us wrong.
The floor is yours...
I want to know why it shouldn't even be discussed.
Look at the post right above yours. It's not close, never has been, and never will be.
I completely agree, Kobe is a better talent... MJ was a possessed freak athlete with giant handsOriginally Posted by 5am6oody72
Replies like this always make me scratch my head. He's a 6'6 shooting guard with the same body type as MJ, what do you want him to do, intentionally not use tools MJ did just so he doesn't look like he's copying him?Originally Posted by Iamjusayn
^Catch 22 tho. He stole so much that he put himself in a impossible situation. I would have rather him take a few things here n there but he tried to take everything plus the kitchen sink. I am sure i would have liked the young man a lot more had he been more original with his style.Kobe has plenty of things he does that MJ didn't use often or never did in the first place, and in fact has a more diverse offensive arsenal than MJ ever did; he's just not as efficient/effective at doing them.![]()
Not in the playoffs. His numbers in those 3 years are inferior to about 6 different postseason runs from jordan.Originally Posted by Freeze
i'm not saying that kobe is better overall than mj, but i will say Prime Kobe, a la 05-08ish was a better SCORER than mike.
In terms of greatness if Mike is the top on a scale of 1-10 , Bean's gotta be in the 7-8 range.
Then what's the point of comparing them? I mean, if it makes Kobe fans feel good just to put those two names in a sentence together, then whatever floats their boat, I guess. But I don't really see the point.
Edit: I've had a few beers, so maybe that wasn't the best analogy.![]()

Hmm. Based on what?
What quickly disqualifies that statement is tangible results. Jordan's stats and awards speak to his level of talent, as Kobe's speak for his talent.
Jordan's stats and awards >>>> Kobe's stats and awards.

Stop droppin nonsense to take away what this man said in classroom setting at UC Santa Barbara. Dude didn't even know most of the snitchin n other stuff he yapped about was being recorded, hence him forcing you tube n others to take the videos down of him going in on ex teammates. He is a certified clown but he def was speaking from the heart on ALL matters.![]()

Talking trash on Kwame Brown is not considered snitching. Kwame Brown is Kwame Brown. Some people need to hear how terrible of a person they are.
