New Jordan Commercial: Maybe

[TheKingofVa]

Kobe is an improved Jordan. I'll say it again but he's better, skill wise. And the numbers keep adding up.

I'll stop arguing and instead of debating because I can't compare numbers until he's done with the game. And they keep adding up.

Jordan has provided some great NBA moments, unbelievable ones. He was unstoppable in his era but looking at the two, it's obvious. It's just taboo to say it. Kobe does what he wants at will, as Michael did but today's NBA is better. Way better.


Craig Elo would not be playing in today's NBA. Bill Carpwright would not be playing in today's NBA. Will Purdue would not be playing in today's NBA. With or without Mike.

The whole Knicks team wouldn't be playing in the NBA back in the Golden Era. Jordan won titles battling Bird and the C's, Magic and the Lakers, Zeke and the Pistons, Charles Barkely and the Suns, Hakeem and the Rockets, Shaq/Penny and Magic, David Robinson and the Spurs, Ewing and the Knicks, Zo and the Heat, etc...


Kobe can't even beat Steve Nash and the Suns. A 6 foot 2 white boy has out played him the last 2 playoff series.

Kobe would have got his ass knocked out by the Bad Boy Pistons. He would have got swept by the Showtime Lakers, 80's Celtics team, and 80's 76ers team.

I just had this argument at the barber shop last week. I give Kobe props he is one of the best players to ball, but he is not the GOAT. The GOAT is more then just a smooth game and it's more then the numbers. No one's numbers look more ridiculous then Wilt's but no one calls him the GOAT and who has more rings then Russell but he's not considered the GOAT. Jordan redefined basketball in more ways then one. His dynasty is the only one in NBA history to not included a dominate big man (and a dynasty is not back-to-back). Jordan is also the greatest defensive player to ever play the 2 position. Jordan played in a era when defenses could hand check, hard foul and teams actually played defense. The influence that he's had on the game has stretch around the world. There was never a player that wanted to win more and had the leadership to make his teammates play beyond there abilities. The man changed his game 3 different times to suit what his team needed so that they could win. There wasn't this zone defense bullshit that exist now so there was always a defender in Jordan's face. MJ's game was smooth and effortless but it was also frightening. When the Knicks went up on the Bulls 3-1, MJ battle his team back to take that series. Kobe has never lead his team thru adversity. When Kobe got the Lakers up on the Suns 3-1 he couldn't will them to finish the deal and completely disappeared in the last game. MJ never lost a finals championship and was always the leader of every team and one of those teams has the greatest record in NBA history. The series the Lakers lost to the Piston just so happened to be the only series that Kobe lead the Lakers in scoring, while Shaq was there. Young fellas, I can understand why you like Kobe but you're just not old enough to know how easy MJ made it look to put 60 against the Bird lead Celtics or take it to the Garden and put up 50 on the Knicks, that at the time had the meanest defense in the league. If being the GOAT is only about how the game looks then you got a decent argument, but if it's about everything else that makes an athlete the greatest, then there's no comparing MJ to anybody and he's the GOAT.

Good shit.

I can't argue with that adversity. Jordan has triumphed in some great battles. But looking at the both of them, Kobe is the best I've ever seen. Skill wise. Hands down. And I'm not a Laker fan. I just haven't seen a better player.

MJ fans, I admire the good defense that you put up, NPI. Numbers, records, etc. I'll holla at you when this season is done and Kobe is raising another one.

Peace.

Lebron is already passing up Kobe. I can name 15 players better than Kobe. Career numbers, offense, defense, and stepping up in big game moments. Look at the game today. Kenyon Martin shut his ass down and Pau Gasol lead the Lakers to a win.

Kobe is probably not even the best player in the NBA right now, that's Tim Duncan or Lebron.

thank you I was gonna post it up too.

also Rookie of the Year
69-13, 72-10 Bulls's records for the season
2 time Gold Olympic Medalist (1984,1992, and outshined players like Drexler, Bird, Magic, Ewing, as well as other countrie's star players)
3 time league leader in steals
2 time Slam Dunk Contest Winner (versue people like Dominique Wilkins) hell talk about how he dropped 64 on Larry Bird, 50 on Barkley Drexler and Olajuwon when they were on the Rockets, dropped 50 at age 38 and 40 at age 40??!!! scored 40 points against every team in the NBA (37.1 for the season)1986-87.

dude dominated the NBA and its superstars and stacked teams. Not no bullshit ball hogging highlights against some shitty lackluster squad, gtfoh Kobe fans

Jordan had to carve out his name against people in history like the 80s Lakers, Celtics, Hawks, Pistons & Knicks (Jordan Rules - look it up), Sixers, and the 90s Blazers, Suns, Knicks, Magic, Hornets, Heat, Sonics, Jazz, Spurs, etc.

Kobe is getting his against a weakass NBA, how many people stopped watching the NBA when MJ retired??

SINCE MIKE LEFT, I MIGHT WATCH THE ALL STAR GAME AND THE PLAYOFFS. BUT EVEN THEN IT HAS TO BE A GOOD MATCHUP. I WATCH MOST OF MY BASKETBALL ON SPORTSCENTER.

Jordan is the truth but Kobe is the Goat.

Thanks for the drop.

dude ...kill ur.self.
its kool to have opnions...but its obvious you dont know real skills when u see them.
Kobe is tight..dont get me wrong.
but to put him higher than MJ is just stupid.
....u need to go check out who jordan played against and all the teams he shut down.
Jordan battled the best of 'em.
btw............Lebron will outshine Kobe in a few years.



but anyways..........
commercial was tight ass fuck
brought back memories when i saw those throphys.

Can you say a whole lot of rings without a dominant big man. Kobe will never win another championship without a significant big man on the floor. Mike did dat shit with Billy "The Goat" Cartwright, Luc Longley, Scott Williams, and some cat named Bill Wenington. No disrespect to you but,

Don't feed the troll.

But with that said, let's not act like MJ didn't have a future HOFer who was voted to the Top 50, a former DPOY and rebounding champ, the best 3pt shooter in NBA history (Steve Kerr shot over 50% from the arc THREE times.) One of the best sixth men in the league, an All Defensive Team Power Forward who was a double double machine. Blll Cartwright was no bum in his time, BJ Armstong did double digit points a couple seasons they won titles and was a damn good shooter.

It's easy to cherry pick and select players to prove your point. But as I have shown MJ played with teams that had damn good players, reliable players outside of himself and Pippen. It wasn't one man, or even just two men. It was a team.

In winning three titles on the Lakers, Shaq nor Kobe played with any number three guy that could touch the number three on the bulls.

The closest was Glen Rice when they won the first title. Derek Fisher was the number 3 guy for the lakers. Him and Rick Fox.
