IMO u are going about this the wrong way b/c you cant just look at stats... they dont mean that much when u got two of the best alltime players... MJ never had amazing assts. any way... i dont know for sure but i think Kobes were comparable...

that doesnt matter tho... MJs defense was superior... the only area i think Kobe compares and where I'm starting to think he maybe (and this kills me to say) may be better than (cringe) is in his ability to score... many will point to FG% and that is a fair argument, but that is Kobes shot selection not his scoring ability...

and that is MJ's biggest strength over Kobe: his decision making... even when MJ was shooting huge amts of shots and dribbling all over the floor he tookpretty smart shots...

Career wise you cant even compare yet... Kobe may play another 10 years so lets see what he does.. MJ was the greatest winner i've seen he won 6 out of his last 6 years (im not counting Wash or his 17 game baseball season)...

I used to say there will never be another MJ, but every year I watch Kobe he makes it harder and harder for me to doubt him... thats why I say **** the comparisons lets just watch the best player in this generation and enjoy the show... worry about who is betterin 2020...

one interesting quote is Pippen today on COld Pizza said he could see Kobe becoming the better player... that was wild to me...

Just curious..

Who would you rather have
Mihm or Rodman
Odom or Pippen
Parker or Harper
Brown or Longley


Kobe has the worst roster that i have ever seen in the nba and he is winning games.

Kobe will have smashed all of jordans records by the time hes done playing. He wont have as many mvps but he will have 4 or 5 rings. Our kids will be saying how great this guy is.. Hate all you want. But he is #2 all team right behind the magical 100 pt game

Yeah they are comparable in terms of skills set, their style of play, killer instinct, and fearlessness of taking clutch shots. I think Kobe is a better ballhandler (not by much) and has better range but Mike could care less about 3s since he had a dead-accurate mid-range game and was an amazing penetrator. Both were very creative at getting their own shots off. But Jordan was much smarter with his shot selection. Whenever he hit 40+ pts he was on fire. Kobe kind of forces the issue and continues to shoot even after he cools off. I guess this has to do w/ Kobe's maturity when he became pro and all the media attention he received at such a young age. Michael just understood how to win more than anything. Kobe still has plenty of time to close the gap.

Smashed Jordans Records?? LOL

So he is going to have more then 10 seasons leading the league in scoring? He is going to lead the league in steals at least twice?? He is going to win another Slam Dunk championship?? His is going to have the highest carreer scoring average in NBA history?? He is going to have the highest scoring average of all time in a finals series? He is going to get a triple double in the allstar game? He is going to have the most pts all time in the history of the all star game and the most steals ever in the allstar game? Those are just a few of the things Kobe still needs to do. And you say he is going to SMASH them?? You made yourself look stupid when you said

"Kobe will have smashed all of jordans records by the time hes done playing. He wont have as many mvps but he will have 4 or 5 rings."

4 or 5 rings in case you didnt know is not SMASHING 6 rings. Not to mention 6 finals MVPS. I understand is you like kobe and are a lakers fan but dont be dumb. Be realistic. Kobe will not SMASH Michael Jordans Records. He may break a few yes. But Smash them? Give me a break.

I have often heard it said from MJ's teammates that he could have dropped 25+ in any quarter he wanted to, but didn't because it wasn't what was best for the team. I know that concept is pretty tough for the majority of the people here to understand, but let it percolate for a few years or a decade and maybe some of you will come around.
