[G0ATbe]

Jordan was in his 13th season at 38 years old while Kobe's in his 20th. So basically Jordan had the same legs as 30 year old Kobe.

13th season Kobe - 27, 5 ,5
13th season Jordan 20, 6 ,5

Absolutely no comparison

According to Kobe fans they think if you don't play any seasons in the NBA, you don't age :lol


Guess Kobe didn't play 96, 97, 13, 14 then, so he's actually 34yo legs

Baseball is also just as bad for your body as basketball.

[asd]

jordan was busy getting a college ring during his teenage years

while

kobe was riding the lakers bench. eddie jones was starting over him.

[SpaceJam]

3 Kobe threads in the last 24ish hours, and you're suppose to hate the guy huh?

At least we know what dubeta is doing with his time off now that his original account is banned

[kennethgriffin]

lets really look at it

kobe played 17 straight seasons before missing most of his 18th and 19th due to injuries


jordan played

1985 ...then missed all of 1986

then jordan played 1987 to 93 and retired

then jordan came back after nearly 2 years and played 1996-98

then retired and came back 3 years later for 2002 and 2003




this is why jordan still had legs. dude took it light and easy his whole career... realistically jordan only played 11 seasons before his first wizards stint.

only 11 seasons and it took kobe until his 20th to catch up to him in points :applause:

[asd]

only 11 seasons and it took kobe until his 20th to catch up to him in points :applause:


and become the worst player in the nba

[kennethgriffin]

only 11 seasons and it took kobe until his 20th to catch up to him in points :applause:


kobe passed jordan in total shots like a week after he passed him in points though


so jordan only needed 11 seasons to take more shots than kobe after 19


who was the better team player again?

[asd]

who was the better team player again?


the player who got his teammates the most number of rings!!!

[rodman91]

Jordan was even one of the MVP candidates before knee injury . In the 46 games that Jordan played in 01/02 before the injury, he averaged
25.1 - 6.2 - 5.3 - 1.5 - 0.5 on 42%

In his last 20 games up to the injury he averaged
27.5 - 6.4 - 5.2 - 1.3 - 0.5 on 44%

In his last 10 games up to the injury he averaged
29.7 - 6.6 - 6.1 - 1.2 - 0.3 on 47%


Wizards were 26-20 at that time (and Rip Hamilton was injured for 5 weeks) They were 19 game winning team a year before Jordan returned to basketball.

"The season is two weeks from its midway point, and the Washington Wizards (18-16) are on track to make the Eastern Conference playoffs. A team that won 19 games last season could eclipse that total this week.

Who else besides Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett has been more important to his team? O'Neal and Chris Webber have been injured, and neither Tracy McGrady nor Vince Carter has elevated his team to the top of the Eastern Conference. Allen Iverson, the reigning M.V.P., is muddling through a disappointing season in Philadelphia.

Jordan, who has won five M.V.P. awards, is not in the running because of his numbers, which are All-Star caliber (24.2 points a game before last night's loss to Minnesota in which he scored 35) but not quite M.V.P. worthy. His recent back-to-back outbursts of 51 and 45 points have little to do with why he is a genuine candidate. Along with that surreal two-handed block of Ron Mercer nine days ago, those were merely blasts from the past."

Kobe is washed up after achilles injury.

Dumb logic is dumb.

38 year old legs are 38 year old legs and MJ has one of the 3 greatest chase down blocks in the history of the game at that age. What did Kobe ever block at 38 years old, other than block the chance for the lakers to make the playoffs...

[Smoke117]

Who cares? A battle of two washed up stars...how is this even interesting? Mankind will forever obsess about the past while they burn the future down I Guess.

[Bless Mathews]

lets really look at it



. realistically jordan only played 11 seasons before his first wizards stint.

In 11 seasons 6/6 6 finals mvps. 5 mvps. 10 scoring titles. One defensive player of the year 9 times all NBA defense 1st team.

Yea. Let's REALLY look at it.

If not for Jordan, the NBA would not be what it is today. So everytime you turn on a game, you can thank MJ and the fans who paid to watch MJ play.

No paying fans = no NBA salary = no MJ = no basketball in its current state.

You are welcome.

No mj, no fancy Kobe nikes no ugly Bron Bron nikes.

No mOarketing money that the players get

Yes. Every player and every fan should thank the goat.

Especially kobe, who just bit every move of his.

You forgot to mention MJ defensive impact is much greater than kobe. 2001 wizard was 2nd worst in the league ppg allowed. 2002 was 6th best defensively in the leagus before he got injured.

No he wasn't. MJ's 13th season was the 98 season at 35 years old, and this is what he was doing at that point:

Yup.

People who didn't live in the MJ era have no idea just how popular he was at his peak. I am talking "probably the most known man in the world" type famous. You think LeBron or Kobe are famous now? That is NOTHING compared to what MJ was.

Yes, every player and future player coming into this league and making tens of millions of dollars should pay homage to MJ. He is the one who took this game to another level. Magic/Bird put the game on the national radar. MJ took it global.

Daaaaamn, that's that Nas song talking about Jay-Z stuff.

What I don't understand it, do Kobe people really think anyone (except them) is ever going to put Kobe in Jordan's league? I mean, all these years later he's still atop the Harris poll as top athlete, top bball player. His shoes still number one. Still fresh in people's minds though his last title was 18 years ago!!!

Do you Kobe guys REALLY think 18 years from now Kobe will be looked at anywhere near like Mike when he's not now, and never has been?

It's like you guys live in your own fantasy world where if you just say bullshyt that makes you feel good somehow it will translate to reality. Doesn't work like that.

18 years from now MJ will still be fresh in everyone's minds. Kobe will at least be mentioned for his 5/7 success. Lebron will pass from memory like fart in the wind.
