He's not better. Kobe had no fear. Kobe had the better footwork. Kobe never took no for an answer. Kobe had no problem inserting his will and establishing his dominance. Alpha.
Guess who's OP?

i think the real question is ...why does OP fear kobe more than MJ
since hes a lebron fan and is trying to downplay kobe/prop up MJ
the only explanation is he sees kobe as a bigger threat to lebron

Kobe shouldn't even be compared to Jordan, let alone LeBron. They can't even hear him from outside of the TOP 10. :oldlol: :lol
Well, I'd have to say he was much better, and I bet there are as many as four reasons...
Kobe shot worse than his team from the field, while Michael actually shot better than his team from the field. Consider that Kobe got open looks from mid-range for the first half of his career due to playing with Shaq. Michael did not get those types of looks; he had to create space for his shot each time/"create his own shot", and there has never been anyone who could do that as well as him.
Kobe was also given pampered treatment in terms of extra free throws, whereas Michael earned his free throws a lot more.
Kobe was a ball stopper. He liked to play in isos. This suggests that Kobe's style of play was that of a ball hog, while Michael's was conducive to winning due to being so unexpectedly efficient.
Michael moved the ball more, though he was more ball dominant early in his career than Kobe was.
Despite Kobe being a great defender, Michael was still the better defender of the two. Michael's effort could be seen all over the court, whereas Kobe contributed more of his effort towards shooting. Michael set records for steals, as well as blocked shots by guards, he was a great rebounding guard; his insane vertical leap surely helped him here, all of his All-Defensive team selections were first team (and many think it should have been a 10th First Team for his 1987 season), culminating in the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award in 1988, something Kobe never got close to winning.
There's never been a shooting guard better with the ball than Michael, and there's also probably never been a better shooting guard off the ball either considering that the defenses were throwing doubles and triples at him relatively quickly into his career.

:roll:
It's pretty debatable honestly.
Michael was great...but Kobe took what MJ did best and adapted it to a more modernized environment. And in doing so, he stretched the imagination of what we as fans thought was possible on a basketball floor.
The NBA's greatest assassin. The Black Mamba.

Kindly take your meltdown to another thread, please. Thank you.
Kobe created a new stat on his own. "the Kobe assist"
Kobe was innovative as fvck :eek:
Jordan
Kobe
Lebron
In that order.
Quantify it however you want, hombre. Proof is in the pudding. Or in your case, a cerveza :cheers:
If MJ had a retarded twin brother, it'd be Kobe. A poor mans version in every aspect.

If you honestly believe Kobe was a better and more impactful player than Bron I can't take anything you say seriously anymore. I know you give in to the insanity here a lot of the time, but you have to know nothing about basketball to actually believe Kobe is above LeBron.

Big characters for such a small man. :eek: We are terrified :oldlol:
You can't be GOAT when you are number one at nothing. In Mj's case he may be the best scorer but how is he the best scorer when Kobe and LeBron passed him. LeBron passed him in both regular season and playoffs.
(bu..bu...but career averages)
Not my fault MJ took 2 breaks therefore played less seasons than his peers. :confusedshrug: Career averages shouldn't be used because it favors him just like it favors Bird over many players.
