How much better is Michael Jordan than Kobe Bryant?

Kobe took more bad jumpers than anyone i have ever seen. Especially after they cracked down on the hand check in 2004 he should have been attacking the rim constantly but would routinely settle for contested jumpers.

I remember one game against the Wizards when he got off to a hot start in the first half. In the second half the Wizards started doubling him and he just kept jacking jumpers, shooting the Lakers out of the game. After the game Nick Young said that they doubled Kobe knowing that he wasn't going to pass. :lol

When the Lakers played the Pistons in the Finals the Pistons put Ben Wallace on Shaq 1 on 1 with no help. Ben couldn't guard Shaq but the Pistons knew Kobe wouldn't be willing to pass enough to make the Pistons pay.

MJ attacked the basket relentlessly in an era of great defensive centers. That is why he scored more points on better efficiency. He was also more athletic making him a better finisher inside.

I hate this shit. Kobe is my favorite player of all time... and yes, MJ was better. He was clearly better - he was the best.

It's okay to like Vegeta more, even if you know Goku is the best. And personally... I like Vegeta. And Kobe.

bran is krillin

Give Kobe Kawhi's hands and 10 extra inches of vertical and you have MJ.

How come Jordan wasn

[QUOTE=Vino24]How come Jordan wasn’t capable of scoring 81pts?[/QUOTE]
Kobe could get hotter than MJ because MJ actually played different than Kobe and wasn't quite the chucker - he scored easier than kobe so he could pick his spots better

He also turned it up in the playoffs with the playoff scoring record (63), against a top 5 all-time team and #1 defense. So not the raptors

If MJ was an unhinged chucker like Kobe how many points do you think he could score?

[QUOTE=Vino24]How come Jordan wasn

jordan couldn't score 81 and only topped 61 due to overtimes because jordan only has so many opportunities at good looks

kobe can make much more difficult shots/longer shots over defenders which gives him more opportunities/chances

so when he gets hot he could run off 80-100 if he wanted


if jordan tried going for 80+ he would need to take 10-12 threes, 15 long contested 20 footers.. he would fail miserably

How could David Robinson score 71 without 3s, Wilt 100? You just have to push the pace.

It's laughable that people think MJ couldn't shoot 3's at an elite level if he wanted to

Nearly any poster on this board could practice a few hundred threes a day for a few months and become a decent 3-point shooter - not on the NBA level, but on whatever level you play at (playground, HS, college, pro, whatever)

That's exactly what guys in junior high thru the pros are doing - simply focusing on the shot and getting good at it... The notion that the goat, who had flawless form and set the Finals record for threes when he was challenged to shoot it, COULDN'T do what everyone is doing is ridiculous

MJ could hit threes better than Kobe and most of today's players

He just chose not to take them or make them part of his game

But anyone that played ball or is aware that he was goat from midrange and had goat FORM, should know that he would be an elite 3-point shooter today

And prime Wade’s quickness and off ball defense. And Westbitch’s motor.

they were playing the clippers in their final regular season game in complete tank/shutdown mode


its not a legit game.. probably on a lower level than kobes 60 point retirement game
