@@poligonzo5300 Jordan's best statistical years were during a time period that had almost identical numbers as todays game, average team score and possessions. Kobe played during the slowest era, team score & possessions, in NBA history. Kobe would have averaged 40 ppg in the 80's or today. Let me put things in prospective for you. When MJ averaged 37 ppg, the Lowest scoring team in the league averaged just under 104 ppg. When Kobe averaged 35 ppg, there was only ONE team that averaged more than 102 ppg. MJ is the best I have ever seen and I grew up watching Magic and Larry. If you don't take into consideration the era they played in compared to other eras....Wilt is the best player ever and it's not even close. Trust me on this, if MJ and Kobe met each other in their prime, only MJ's legacy would be taking a HUGE hit considering he is the GOAT. Just saying.

@ghidorahthetruealpha6198 2 года назад

I love the way Michael took Kobe under his wing, and respected Kobe's game and Kobe's work ethic and their similarities. Because typically, Michael would dig his heels in and view anyone who challenged him as a threat. And Michael would turn his power up to the 11th degree to eradicate the threat (like he did with the Pistons, Knick's, Pacers etc). But I'm glad that Michael saw in Kobe not a threat --- but a younger brother to be tutored and shaped and molded into a second version of himself. And the game was all the better for it.

Over the years, as a Jordan die hard fan, I have gained a lot more admiration and respect for Kobe Bryant. Yes, he was flamboyant, sometimes arrogant, but most of the time a true student of the sport, one of the greatest players in the history of basketball, and a passionate competitor. A winner in his own right, a product of talent and great work ethic, a legend made bigger by his contributions on and off the court. He may not be my idol, but he will forever be one of my favorite players. He may not be Michael Jordan, but he has earned and deserved every thing, and he will be forever be a legend of the sport, the one and only Kobe Bryant.

I have always said that there will never be another MJ. However, if someone made me pick someone it would have to be Kobe. I watched a video with NBA stars giving their top 5 greatest of all times. There were several stars that said Lebron is a great player but how did he pass Kobe without anyone saying that. People need to give Kobe's game respect.

Also, they were franchise players, winning championships without a so-called "super team."
