he will have to win more than just one more to make the discussion more interesting if he can pull off 2 or 3 in a row it will mean something. however it will always show that he ran shaq out of LA, that will stain his record, jordan had more class and didnt have the sex scandal and everything. Jordan will always be seen as better but Kobe will get closer and closer the more championships he can string together. Jordan is jsut on that unreachable pedestal

True, Jordan's gambling suspension was able to be disguised as "retirement". So he comes off as more clean at least.

Chicagofag in the house, and I say Kobe is better than Jordan ever was.

l'll be the first to acknowledge that Jordan is a legend. Let's look at him like Walter Payton, and Kobe is Barry Sanders. Only this time, Sanders doesn't quit in his prime.

seriously, where is the debate?

who is having this debate?

because the Kobe-Jordan debate is like comparing Sidney Crosby and Wayne Gretzky, ie not a debate at all

There is no debate. Jordan was the face of American sports for a decade. Kobe = faggot rapist.

He still needs three rings to catch Jordan, but I could see it happening.

Jordanfags would still scoff at the idea, though.

Well he'd also need, what 4 more MVPs, a defensive player of the year award, he probably won't catch jordan on the finals MVPs.

The only thing Kobe wins at is rapes.

Jordan was better than his rings or MVPs could show. He was at a level that no other player could reach. Night in and night out he dominated every player he was against. Kobe is by far the best player in the league today, but he does not dominate every time like Jordan did.

But thats kind of unfair because with rape, everybody wins!

Hasn't Jordan had his share of affairs? They were tight lipped by the NBA since MJ was the face of the league.

Anyone who thinks Kobe Bryant is better than Michael Jordan has something wrong with them. The either never watched MJ, probably never watch Kobe, never did both at the same time, or just doesn't know anything about the game of basketball. This is not an opinion and it can not be argued.

I see someone like lebron being the next jordan, but I still see kobe as having more talent than jordan or lbj. kobe isn't a cocky ballhog asshole who does thousands of commercials. guys like mj and lebron are all about selling themselves, and that's why they're remembered.

Protip: The bulls keep their end of the contract while Jordan was out because they were being nice to him.

But come on why would they stop paying him if he was going to come back anyway?

just watch one of his videos, just one. and then tell me kobe has more talent than jordan.

jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. he's up there with all the legends, bill russell, wilt, bird, kareem in his prime, magic.
>> Saigaguy !n87gAqL9/w
Regardless of strait up skills on the court, Kobe will never really be put up to Jordan's pedestal.

He reinvigorated basketball and became (as an anon before me noted) a cultural icon. Kobe can't play Jordan in his prime without a time machine, so you can't have a head-to-head in a finals (which would be the most awesome finals ever, just to watch those two go at it.)

Is Kobe a great player? Absolutely. Is he Jordan-esque in his skill level? I would say so. Will he ever be called "as good" or better than Jordan? Not until all the people having old-time syndrome die, at the very least.
