Michael Jordan all the way. They basically let him do whatever he wanted. Plus I share a birthday with him

I share his initials :tongue:
 
Maybe this thread should be the better LAKER? SHAQ, Paula, and then maybe Kobe? Paula and SHAQ were there as title leaders.KOBE was always second fiddle.

Definitely Michael Jordan and it isn't even that close.

Same here, its not even a debate.

This thread should just be deleted! No contest, MJ is the best of all time. :)

MJ - an entire career of excellence...

this question almost doesn't even deserve an answer. kobe doesn't even deserve to mentioned in the same sentence as michael. no one will ever be equal to jordan.

Kobe CANNOT be mentioned in the same breath as MJ. Nobody can.

compare Kobe to Michael? ridiculous.
i don't know why 3 people vote for Kobe... they're nuts or know nothing about basketball.

Conspiracy...
Jordan was a great player for sure. But, what about Wilt Chamberlain?

Chamberlain's 100-point game, a feat Jordan never accomplished.

Chamberlain was such a dominant scorer that his feat was mostly taken for granted.

Chamberlain holds numerous official NBA all-time records, setting records in many scoring, rebounding and durability categories. Among others, he is the only player in NBA history to average more than 40 and 50 points in a season or score 100 points in a single NBA game. He also won seven scoring, nine field goal percentage, and eleven rebounding titles, and once even led the league in assists.


Wilton Norman "Wilt" Chamberlain

Dominating the game as few players in any sport ever have, Chamberlain seemed capable of scoring and rebounding at will, despite the double- and triple-teams and constant fouling tactics that opposing teams used to try to shut him down.

PER: Player Efficiency Rating is a formula that uses a player’s stats to determine how productive
and efficient he is in his time on the court. If he shoots the ball frequently, but does not
convert on as many of his shots, his rating goes down. If he turns the ball over frequently,
his rating goes down. If he is efficient and contributes an all-around performance, his rating
goes up. Due to factors such as lower shooting percentages, it is almost impossible for a guard
to have a very high career PER (such as above 25)

Are you joking? The simple thought of people actually believing Kobe Bryant is a better player than Michael Jordan just perplexes me. Care to explain?:dunno:

this guy knows what hes talking about...i love kobe, but come on


can you really even say that kobe is better than jordan in most aspects of the game?

kobe has a better 3, and he has a better all-around jumpshot, but barely
thats it, MJ is better in every other aspect of the game, and this is coming from someone who rooted against MJ all the time

Well heres something you should have thought about, Kobe is only 29, he has another great 5 years where he will be in his prime. And 3 records that Kobe hold are youngest player to reach 15,000 points and 20,000 points both faster than jordan, also he was the youngest to be named on the all defensive team in 99-00

and you REALLY think that those achievements are enough?

also, yeah, he's 29, got 5 more years... do you REALLY think that, in 5 years, he's gonna achieve everything michael did? or more?
 
Certain things yes and certain things no, championships i think he will have more than michael, wont have more mvp or finals mvp. kobe will have more all star appearances. he will have more points than him. just some things off the top of my mind. I said he has another great 5 years, but he will probably play for another 10 years so take into consideration that for the next 5 years he will be the best player in the league still. and even after his prime, kobe will still be one of the top players in the league and still put up all star numbers, wont be the best in the league but will definately be one of the top players. and yes i do think those are records, mainly because its a career milestone, and hes the yougest to do it to date.
 
After Thursday night's game, is there still any question.When was the last time Jordan lead a team blow a 24-point lead. Case closed!!!!!!!
