Kobe's Career better than Jordan's? You be the judge...

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Not my thoughts... saw this shit on FB. What y'all think?

Yes 81 beats 69 (especially when ur team is down 18)
Yes he had the most game-winners in the last 20 seasons
Yes he was better from 3pt range
Yes he owns the single game 3pt record (yes better than Steph Curry)
Yes 16 All Stars to MJs 14
Yes 4 All Star MVPs to MJs 3
Yes he resurrected the Olympic Team
Yes he was All Defensive 12x to MJs 9x
Yes he was All First Team 11x to MJs 10x
Yes he had more 60pt games and consecutive 50pt games than MJ
Yes he's the ONLY player with 600pts in 3 consecutive playoffs
Yes he dropped 61 in the garden to MJs 55
Yes hes the leading scorer on the more successful franchise
Yes he played in more NBA Finals
Yes hes the ONLY player in NBA HISTORY with 30,000 pts and 6,000 assists

Is he better than MJ?

I just watched the 81 point game last night on the Dvr. J Rose couldn't do nothing defensively to stop Kobe.

Jalen still talks about the nuances durning that particular game.

 

[(0_0)..l.. finger]

Hmmm

 

[Coldchi]

No he's not better.

I noticed how they conveniently left out the two things that make this a No brainer for Jordan.

Number of titles

Number of MVP awards

 

[Lehigh]

Bill Russell has 11 titles yet Jordan stans forget that

 

[deobiggie]

He is better. People have this fascination with Jordan. But look at Jordan's highlight reel and look at Kobes. Kobe is way better and 6 min longer. LOL Top 10 best ever for sure!

Those are just stats.

Julius Peppers, John Abraham, Chris Doleman, Richard Dent, Michael Strahan, and Kevin Greene all have more career sacks than Lawrence Taylor.

Not a one of them was better than L.T.

J.J. Watt already has more 20 sack seasons than LT had his whole career and is about 30 sacks better at the same point in their careers.

J.J. Watt is not a better football player than Lawrence Taylor was.

Impact and intangibles trump numbers every time.

Stfu OP a ban is in order

Playing against 90% whites that dribble right driving down the left side of the court... Fuck outta here

 

[D-TOWN REP]

No no and no

I hear you but the question of the thread was... who had the better career?! There are players who are better players than others, but didn't have better careers...

He could have played against your mother a few hrs before you were born. Gtfoh He could have played against your Great Grand Father. Who his opponent is doesn't matter. History shows he has 11 titles.

Bill Russell has nothing to do with this thread tho...

Bill Russell played in a league that only had 8 teams..........most niggaz forget that.

how am i to make sense of this statement?

 

[Mt. Yukon]

Number of titles

Number of MVP awards

College title, accolades too...

 

[Goingmark40]

jordan's career is better. jordan got more championships plus would have more if he didnt retire ...twice.

It is Yes he does. Jordan ain't the king of titles. He is the King of the inner city American male circa 1984-2002.

I don't care if they had six teams. Bill Russell has 11 rings.

 

[Mt Airy Groove]

He is better. People have this fascination with Jordan. But look at Jordan's highlight reel and look at Kobes. Kobe is way better and 6 min longer. LOL Top 10 best ever for sure!

So we should judge who's the better player by watching a highlight reel?

 

[THREAD_CRITIC]

Kobe was Shaq's Pippen.......No

 

[Lehigh]

Kobe was Shaq's Pippen.......No

You know nothing about Basketball.

Plus he played on a team that won the most games in a NBA season.

He also never lost a NBA finals

You know nothing about Basketball.

You know nothing about Biology

You have folks calling JJ Watt the next LT...I'm like...

Really can't decide who's a worse poster between the OP and Goldstein Kogalee

It depends your reading comprehension skills... It's really not that difficult

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Kobe was Shaq's Pippen.......No

He won 2 more chips without Shaq, Pippen won none without MJ...

 

[sammyjax]

that shit doesn't make any sense within the context of this thread asshole

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

that shit doesn't make any sense asshole

Ok... so you struggle a little bit with comprehending a simple sentence... Wow...

So... what is a career in a team sport more defined by, team accomplishments in which you are a major contributor too, or individual accomplishments?

Asshole?!!?! Very creative

didn't require creativity, you're an asshole lol. it's obvious you strive for that, don't act like it bothers you.

and i kind of rescind my statement, given that robert horry isn't a better player than KG. but i will say that that isn't always that cut & dry.

 

[clitsational]

6 is more than 5

Thanks for letting me know how you feel about me. Hopefully that makes you feel better about yourself. Really good stuff though..

Also, before getting all airy chest'd. take a moment and think things through, it really isn't that hard...
