I have the privilege to watch everyone of these games.

The double-nickel passing of the torch game was fantastic and the game in '97. The greatest match up in sports history.

Less minutes but much more dominant than MJ.

Not a Kobe fan, but I must admit your are absolutely correct. Jordan struggled to guard a 19 year old Kobe! Tells you just how overrated his defense is.

To be fair to MJ, Pippen guarded him too. They threw a bunch of guys on Kobe and he destroyed them all.

I think if MJ was to cover Kobe full time, MJ's scoring would have dropped and Kobe's scoring would have topped 40 points because he figured out MJ already.

98 games were good too even though they were pretty much even but Kobe played 11 less minutes. If given the green light MJ would have got shit on again.

Reminds me of the 91 Finals. Jordan getting torched by Magic, so Pippen is forced to do MJ's job for him. Pippen = the real 1991 Finals MVP.

its not the alphas job to do the dirty work but the brans. The brans passes to the alphas for game winning shots.

Kobe outplaying an old man. Amazing lol

A pretty high number of Kobe's 33 points in the December 97' game came during garbage time.

The first meeting was a classic game. Jordan was shooting like shiit. Shaq and Van Exel were on fire and up 17 in the 4th. Kukoc went ballistic in the 4th and OT. There was also that great left-handed dunk by Randy Brown on Elden Campbell.

Far more impressive than when you see ppl get so excited when someone dunks on a guy half a foot shorter than him.

Exactly. Been telling MJ fans to stop their ramblings about MJ being better than Kobe especially when I prove so many wrong.

I am just here to post facts.

Yep.

When matched up against MJ, Kobe played less minutes, shot the ball better and better overall game.

great thread OP great thread Young kobe > Old jordan

I like how people call MJ old at 33-34 years of age but Kobe fans and other haters alike never bring up Kobe's age as an excuse.

Kobe was still beasting before the achilles and may well be beasting again.

GOATbe gonna Goatbe.
