Michael Jordan vs Kobe Bryant comparison

Kobe Bryant is a very talented basketball player, Kobe Bryant set out to emulate Michael Jordan and any observer of the game can see that. Kobe's level of play and achievements have fallen well short of Michael Jordan's level of play and achievements. Kobe Bryant is too far off pace to catch Jordan status yet the NBA continues to use Michael Jordan's name in an attempt to draw more fans to Kobe Bryant. It's not right and they need to stop degrading what Jordan status truly is. To be a true Jordan type player, Kobe would need to have done much much more by this point in his career, he will not ever achieve Jordan status. Everyone should state it like this, --Kobe is an extremely talented player who emulates Michael Jordan, Jordan is a player he looks to emulate because Jordan inspired many people, Kobe Bryant is a Michael Jordan inspired athlete.--

1991 Lakers = ranked 5th in defense
1992 Blazers = ranked 2nd in defense
1993 Suns = ranked 9th in defense
1996 Sonics = ranked 2cnd in defense
1997 Jazz = 9th in defense

Jordan won 10 scoring titles, 6 he won while making over 50% of his shots, Jordan led the league in steals, Jordan was the best shot blocking guard, Jordan won 14 combined MVP's (3 all star, 5 league, 6 finals). Jordan averaged 33, 6, and 6 in the Finals for his career. Jordan averaged 31.5ppg on 51.5% shooting when he wore a Bulls uniform while leading the league in scoring 10 times.

Jordan made 33 out of 58 game winners. Kobe's missed more game winners in the last 5 years than Jordan did in his entire career. Listing Kobe's made game winners is frivilous at best when you don't point out that he's only made barely over 25% of his game winning attempts in his entire career.
Link to 82 games.com's game winning stats:
http://www.82games.com/gamewinningshots.htm

Kobe has been propped up to Jordan status without the 5 league MVP's, 6 finals MVP's, 10 scoring titles, playoff averages, career regular season averages, etc. Basically Kobe has been propped up to Jordan status for trying to use Michael Jordan's skill set.

Kobe stans u mad!!!!!

    Kobe lost twice in the Finals... against Detroit he single handly cost them the series (Shaq was dominating look up the stats) forcing horrible shots while being double team ignoring Shaq down low when he was scoring at will. He also lost to the Celtics in which in Game 5 at Home blew at 20 + point lead in the Second half.. That would have never happened to Jordan.

    Jordan is the greatest.
    Kobe is great.
    They're about the same size and they play the same position with very similar skill sets in terms of fundamentals, athleticism, and offense ( and Jordan was probably a little tougher on defense, but Kobe is really good as well). So of course they're going to be compared. The greatest player played the game in the greatest way (all around game with the absolute highest desire to win). With the skills he has, Kobe would be a fool if he didn't emulate that. Kobe is not Jordan, so I agree w/ T/S on that point.

    But, he is Kobe...and at this point people shouldn't even feel the need to mention Jordan when they speak of Kobe. They're both great. Kobe is standing firmly on his own legacy.

    Lol, Chill mdizzle, Kobe is in his top 3... so he thinks he's the second closest 1. You two are really close to agreeing.

    Jordan is the greatest.
    Kobe is great.
    They're about the same size and they play the same position with very similar skill sets in terms of fundamentals, athleticism, and offense ( and Jordan was probably a little tougher on defense, but Kobe is really good as well). So of course they're going to be compared. The greatest player played the game in the greatest way (all around game with the absolute highest desire to win). With the skills he has, Kobe would be a fool if he didn't emulate that. Kobe is not Jordan, so I agree w/ T/S on that point.

    But, he is Kobe...and at this point people shouldn't even feel the need to mention Jordan when they speak of Kobe. They're both great. Kobe is standing firmly on his own legacy.


    Wholeheartedly agree
