Kobe had great footwork - so did MJ, who taught it to him
Kobe had a great post game - MJ taught him
Kobe was a very good midrange shooter - MJ was perhaps the best
Kobe took tougher shots - so did MJ, but he's so athletic that he jumps higher than anyone else and it's harder to get a contest
MJ is a more efficient scorer
Kobe a better 3pt shooter? Sure, but if MJ played in Kobe's era then he would have shot more. Not like Kobe was an efficient volume shooter.
Kobe great slasher inside - MJ had both power and finesse, was more of an athlete, stronger.

The only argument would be that Kobe scored 81 points once. Other than that he has no argument.

Kobe honestly isn't even a better scorer than LeBron. He took too many bad shots.

Jordan was more consistent scorer but at his best kobe was better especially when he was in the zone where he could hit any shot possible with dudes glued to him.

Zero argument that only a kobe fan or troll would make.

LeBron is a better scorer than both of them.

No argument, whatever Kobe can do, MJ can do better or at least equally good. Kobe is a poor man's version of MJ on every aspect, with the exception of luck maybe. Not everyone has prime Shaq carrying him to 3 straight titles, MJ had to work his way there on his own.

Who even says that?

Kobe had a better collection of ridiculous 3 pt buzzer beaters and was a more creative dunker... but his glory hunting had him take 1-2 bad shots a game more than Michael. Kobe is like 95% of him though so he's still one of the GOATs.

There is no argument to be made.

Better footwork
Better shooter
Faced tougher defenses
More 50 point games (I think)

lol No. Jordan has 39 to Kobe's 26. More importantly, Jordan did it 8 times in the playoffs to Kobe's 1.

Funny how trolls think kobe is mj 2.0, saying he's a part of his bloodline or something.
