I’d disagree with the Kobe being able to do “everything & more” than what Jordan was capable of.

I think that was Jemele trying to change the MVP narrative at the time (similar to Jackie Mac in ‘97, although Malone was on one of the top teams) because it looked like Kobe was going to spend the latter half of his career lighting it up on teams floating around .500. But less than a year after Jameel’s statements, the trade happened that changed Kobe’s legacy forever.

People overstate the Jordan-Kobe thing too much. It started years ago and people just parrot it. (I'm aware the Jemele Hill thing is from years ago)

Jordan was way more effective than Kobe. The pressure he put on defenses was crazy with his ability to get to the rim, even when he was older.

He was like a maniac on the other end of the floor, getting steals, deflections and blocks, he just impacted a basketball game more than Kobe overall.

Gonna run through this again. Feel like it's time.

I do it once a month. Nothing else these dayz can keep my undivided attention.

Kukoc when asked when he realized MJ was indeed coming back home ........ " I knew it was true when I walked in the locker room and saw *all the Air Jordans in front of His locker"

* He may have given a number of boxes. Has me rollin every single time without fail !


SOME DANCE TO REMEBER. SOME DANCE TO FORGET

I’m old enough to see prime MJ when I was in middle school. MJ is and will always be the GOAT. I seen Kobe’s career and LeBron Career from beginning to end. What Kobe did in the 2006 season is the greatest I seen one player play for a full season. He showed completely that he was better than everyone and went on historic stretches that I at a point had him over MJ. The lakers eventually got Gasol and Kobe did not need to go 2006 Kobe anymore.

Question I got 06 Kobe as his best version

Would y’all say 1992 MJ was his peak?

Hard to argue ‘88 from an individual standpoint. Same for ‘93 and ‘97-98.

Kobe wasn't in Jordan's level by any stretch.
Kobe was super skilled but he will always be the carbon copy.

Dude was getting Box 1 and triple teamed and still dropping 35. I love MJ and he my GOAT but 2005-2006 I ain’t never seen someone kill a whole 82 like Bean

MJ averaged 37 points with hand checking and a pretty physical league, he also only shot 9 threes that entire season.

Kobe averaged 35 with the zone defenses but no hand-checking. Teams have always played illegal defense just like guys have always carried the ball, it's just up to how the refs called it.

86-87 MJ and 05-06 Kobe averaged the same rebounds, assists, free throw percentage but MJ averaged a whole steal more per game.

This season easily tops Kobe's best season and you still have 88-90-91-92-93-96.

Good points, I have nothing negative to say about MJ in 86-87 he was truly ahead of his era.

I have a different perspective on the three point shot, I think Kobe making/taking 3s made him even more of a threat and more of a headache to guard.

Different era’s but the 3 point shot is a weapon and is the reason I would put 92-93 MJ over 86-87 MJ. Not just going off of stats but he had no weakness in 92. In 86-91 the Pistons didn’t guard MJ around the arc and whole game plan was to fragrant foul him when he drove to the lane. Portland tried to have that game plan in the finals and MJ changed the whole series in 1 Qrt

MJ on why he didn't want to take threes: because you tend to hang around the perimeter more. It makes you harder to guard when you move more or attack the basket. I think this is one of the main reasons he was tougher to guard than Kobe.

Using the Horry argument though.....

Using the Horry argument though.....

Kobe having more rings than LeBron and Robert Horry having more rings than Kobe are nowhere near the same thing.

Lebron was upset.

The MF'n look that MJ gives when hearing / watching the Reinsdorf's explanation of why it had to end is bone chilling and hilarious at the same damn time, when he says Krause will rebuild another championship team. ( Episode 10 )
Makes ya kinda wonder, eye dont like the term BASKETBALL GODS much ......BUT.............with NO disrespect to Bulls teams since The Last Dance was danced, seems to me like them Gods wanted to see a run at 7 like EVERYBODY else.

SOME THINGS ARE ETERNAL
