About the comparisons. When Tom Seaver pitched they always said there would never be another Tom Seaver. Low and behold Nolan Ryan well surpassed him. People say there will never be another Jordan. Kobe has a very good shot. The ONLY thing that sets Jordan apart from everyone else was desire to win. Yes he was great at what he did, but so were a lot of others. They just didn't have the desire that Jordan STILL does. The heart is what makes a champion.

trmiv:
WUAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT KOBE? No one will ever be better than MJ, cuz he's GOD.

Kobe = 1 Championship ring

Kobe = 1 Championship ring because of Shaq

Please...... there's just no comparison between MJ and the others. Everytime I watch the MJ Movie "Come fly with me", I feel like I'm in heaven.

MJ = GOD
Period

Who said Kobe plays better defense than MJ? Who said that? MJ was once defensive player of the year, nuff said. It's just not possible to compare someone to god.

How many championships did Michael Jordan have when he was 22? Kobe can do all the things Michael did and he can do some things (like the tunaround jumper) better than Jordan could. Will Kobe have a carrer as great as Jordan's? It's possible and maybe even likely because his whole goal in life is to be better than Mike.

You guys really think that this lil' Championship ring makes Kobe better @ 22 than Jordan, just because Jordan hadn't a ring? No way. Never. Was it the effort of Kobe that they've won the championship? Don't think so. I think Shaq played really good. There maybe a rookie who comes from high school and wins with 18 the first championship, and that doesn't make him better than anyone else. Got my point?

Karl Malone has never won a Championship, so he sucks?

If you put MJ on the Lakers right now, do you think they'll be 24-12?? They'll be undefeated!!! You can't judge MJ on pure skills alone. On that point, Kobe is just as good. And that's abou it.

Stever Kerr = has championship rings= better than any other player without rings.

Hell, I'll even do Jack Haley

Jack Haley = 1 Championship Ring
Chris Webber = 0 Championship Rings.

Based on your logic.

Put him on a sub 500 team, and watch Kobe he would be just another average player.

If Kobe and Shaq don't make nice and start getting along better, we might just find out.

JEEZ.. kobe close to jordan! thats a load of crapola. the only reason why kobe is similar is because hes a wannabe. he styles himself to michael jordan, from his stupid arm band to the way he talks. jordan could carry a whole team on his back and kobe cant even get it done with all the talent around him. all jordan had was pippen and the worm. put kobe on that team and they wouldnt even make the playoffs. some people...

<< Kobe can do all the things Michael did and he can do some things (like the tunaround jumper) better than Jordan could >>



axelfox


<< Besides, Kobe is a better defensive player >>



HAHA, you guys make me laugh... jordan made the turnaround jumper an art as well as a weapon so dont go saying a putz like kobe who is trying to learn jordan's technique does it better than the man who perfected it. btw jordan wasnt too shabby at defense too, just a measly Nine-time NBA All-Defensive First Team, and he played a little baseball in the mean time or he wouldve had more. i dont think kobe will ever see those type of honors. he'll be too busy making songs with tyra banks and pillow fighting with shaq.

You may not like the way Stockalone plays, neither do I, but they ARE good. They perfected the pick'n'roll. You might not like the way they play, but they do have some qualities.

And Kobe will never reach the level of a Michael Jordan, never. Not even close. Period.

Actually it's:

Kobe: 0
Vince: 0
Shaq: 1

The Lakers won the championship because they were Shaq's team. Just look at the Lakers now. Kobe tries to assert himself, tries to expand his role while reducing Shaq's, and the Lakers lose to the Clippers and the Jazz as a result.
