MJ on Kobe
"If I had to pick the best player in the game, he certainly is up there right now".. "It seems as though he's got the edge over anybody in that position, if not in the league right now."-Michael Jordan

Re: MJ on Kobe
My favorite quote by Jordan regarding Kobe.
Quote:
|
"You see him playing with any of the elite guys in the league ... he's going to guard them defensively and he will beg for them to guard him on the other end. That's my approach. I would do the same thing."

Re: MJ on Kobe
Well, I think its pretty much uanimous that Kobe does have the most competitive spirit out of the whole NBA.
And the thing about Kobe begging other elite players to guard him, well its just natural, you dont send a scrub againts him. But against players like VC, Ray Allen, Iverson, T-Mac... its obvious he loves showing them up, and vice versa... Jordan did the same thing back then... and he would still do it today if he could run.

Re: MJ on Kobe
A Lakers fans quoting that ?
Jordan says he is up there, basically Jordan is saying "No" to the question if Kobe is the best player in the league right now.

How do you get he is saying no? If anything he is saying there are other guys as talented, but Kobe has the edge on those other guys right now.

I basically agree with Amareca ... I read it as him giving Kobe his props but leaving the debate open probably for guys like Duncan, KG, .. the usual suspects. If he really thought so then he would have just said yes.

Re: MJ on Kobe
What edge?
His team? Their record? The MVP running? The scoring title sure, but the others arent playing for that.
The most competetive spirit? Based on what? Wanting to win, or wanting to prove something individually even at the expense of his team?
Guarding the other teams best player? I remember Tmac taking the Lakers out and Kobe was nowhere to be found in those waning seconds.
I see guys like Marquis Daniels burning him for player of the game. That wouldn't have happened to MJ.
He was NOT saying kobe is the best in the L right now. If he thought so he would've said it, but I agree with him when he says he is up there. No doubt Kobe is one of the most talented TOP guys in the NBA.
Will he win MVP? Not looking like it. Does he bring confidence and competetive fire to his teammates? No. Can he make Kwame look good....LOL noone can of course
Kobe is a top dog, but not THE top dog

Thats a very good point, but i do think MJ is not saying KOBE is the best right now, but then again you never hear MJ say or dmit that a certain player is the best in te league. Definition of the best player can go a lot of ways but his statement about Kobe being the most competitive in the league is what matters the most.

At least be thankful he didn't start a thread on why Kobe's 5-22 performance proves he's the MVP.
