Replace Michael Jordan with Kobe Bryant on the 90s Bulls

[andgar923]

Lets stop giving Kobe the benefit of the doubt here and be real.

He aint winning jack shit.

He isn't getting past some of the tough matchups the Bulls had to face, he hasn't shown that he can perform legendary feats over and over and over again on any sort of consistent basis... MJ did this.

Hell... I have a hard time believing that the Bulls even get past the Pistons, and thus laying the foundation with their first title.

I know what some are gonna say...

"but he has 5 rings!!!!, you're just a hater!!!"

Yeah... and check out his performances in some of the most clutch games. His teammates had to carry him or come up big, because he sure as hell didn't.

Again... if you don't believe the tapes, go look at the stats, either way the Lakers won because they just had the better team, not because Kobe was that much greater. This isn't the case with the Bulls teams, in which MJ had to will and carry them time after time after time.

Kobe just doesn't perform as well as MJ plain and simple.

They aint winning shit.

They aint getting past the Knicks, they aint getting past the Pistons, and IF they make the Finals, they're not beating anybody.

Kobe would average 50 with that short 3 point line from 95-97.

3 point line isn't the main factor, defense from 90s is the main issue for kobe

It's not an issue.

[Sakkreth]

Maybe one in 1991.

[blablabla]

3 point line isn't the main factor, defense from 90s is the main issue for kobe

defense in the early 2000 is much better than defense in the 90s
and kobe averaged 30 in 2003 so that's not a problem for him

well if we talk about 03/04 05/06 and 06/07 Kobe for the title runs from 91 to 93 he wins atleast 2 maybe even 3

and if we have 07/08 - 09/10 Kobe for 96-98
it's the same

so he wins about 4-6 titles

MJ can avg 50+ pts in today's era.

It's not an issue.

Three or four. I think they'd beat the Lakers, Blazers, and Jazz (97 seasons), and have a shot at beating the Suns and Jazz too.

[Marlo Stanfield]

Four

Too bad defenses from the 00's are easily better, especially from 99-04.

I get it... it's a joke.

You guys had me for a while.. LOL.

Because there's no way that the player who has failed in historically epic proportions will be able to re-create some of MJ's legendary and epic feats.

Good one guys!

Yup. You got us. Kobe, a top 10 player and the second best SG of all-time would clearly struggle to win any championships with a squad that just happened to contend even though Jordan retired and gave them no time to find a suitable replacement.
