DEANDRE JORDAN HAS A BETTER SHOT SELECTION THAN KARL MALONE.. THATS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE. WE TALKIN PURELY IN TERMS OF STROKE, KOBE HAD WAY MORE RANGE AND MUCH BETTER FORM THAN MJ


KOBE AVERAGED CLOSE TO 30 PPG IN 2001, BUT HE "RODE THE COTAILS OF SHAQ" .. LISTEN TO YASELF. KOBE WASNT LUCKY ENOUGH TO PLAY WIT A SELFLESS PLAYER LIKE PIPPEN FOR THE DURARION OF HIS PRIME. IF KOBE HAD PIPPEN HIS WHOLE PRIME, WE TALKIN A MINIMUM OF 7.
Nah, Kobe wouldn't win shyt with Pippen as his 2nd best player.

Kobe had the best front line in basketball behind him. No one could match up with their size. Even if he sat out they usually won.

The guy claiming that it's better to have Scottie as a teammate as opposed to prime Shaq and trying to argue Kobe over Jordan is talking about brain damage :russ:

Low key (okay, maybe not even low-key), this is why Jordan props up Kobe. Kobe spent his career trying to emulate Jordan and came up significantly short in every single way. There isn't another player more advantageous for Jordan to propup for the sake of his own legacy.

We all do realize that the person saying this is typing in all-caps while single-handedly carrying on a desperate fight to prove the Kobe is better than Jordan?


Of the places where I imagine people writing in all-caps....

KOBE NATURALLY SHOT A LOWER PERCENTAGE BECAUSE HE HAD MORE RANGE.. JORDAN DIDNT HAVE A THREE POINT SHOT, SO HE DIDNT SHOOT NEARLY AS MANY THREES. LOOK AT FREE THROW AND THREE POINT PERCENTAGE TO COMPARE STROKES.. NO ONE, NOT EVEN MJ GROUPIES, DEBATE THAT KOBE HAD A BETTER SHOT THAN MJ.....


ALSO, MJ HAD PIPPEN AS A FACILITATOR, SO LESS BALL HANDLING DUTIES MAKES FOR LESS TURNOVERS .. KOBES CROSSOVER SHIITS ON MJ'S, THIS IS NOT EVEN DEBATABLE BRUH.
You need to be negged. Kobes shot selection was horrible, he also had a much lower basketball iq. Go back and look at how they used the TRIANGLE and the shots Kobe would take. If his shot was off he would keep shooting. With Jordan, he would concentrate on other areas of the floor. Dude would be in the triangle and shoot out of a triple team, Jordan would look for the open man. There is a video that breaks that shyt down.
