How Kobe Bryant Is Re-Defining Our Expectactions For All-Time Greats
- Thread starter Newzz
- Start date
kobe has made me appreciate the player i used 2 hate this season .. he has suprised me
he doin shxt at his age mj couldnt do .. and im a mj fan
but its a unfair comparison based on 2 reasons
we never saw jordan at his prime ..which was what we got to c kobe and lebron at .. a argument could be made his prime would have been round the phoenix championship year .. the third title
but imagine if mj had those hops n jumps and the J he created after the first come backduring those 2 years he missed , those elements would have made mj even better then he is in everyones eyes now
secondly those final 2 years were after another lay off .. jordan wa splayin for the fun MJ himself would have told u he wasnt the best player runnin round @ 40

It's actually quite possible.
Edit: But Chris Webber on the Kings was an All NBA player though.
I think you just hit me with the ultimate
Don't even ask me how:smacklol:
We did see him in his prime.
Jordan's prime was from 1987-1996. Yes, we missed 1 full season and about 80% of the next one......but we witnessed it.
*edit* I looked over his numbers over those seasons and
. I knew they were crazy, but still
Over those 9 seasons, he averaged 32.7 ppg on 51.3% FG, 6.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 2.7 steals plus he won 4 NBA Titles, 4 NBA Finals MVPs, 4 Regular Season MVPs, 1 Defensive Player Of the Year, 8 Time All-NBA, 7 Time All-Defensive, and 9 All-Star Game Appearances

your right the prime was much of his career ..but those 2 missed seasons with those athletic moves and that J ..are 2 seasons which would have been so nexxt level breeehs
dont get it twisted im appreciative fo wat we got .. but just like i can admit mj is no where close 2 bein athletically where kobe is now when mike was at that point in his career
then bron n kobe fans should sit back n realize how much mo mj would have given us if he was still playin those years .. and dont let me started on the championship runs ..

sure he has alot of years on his legs, but people forget that kobe is still just 34 years old at the end of the day, not 40.
thing is, kobe is maybe the 1st "all-timer" to come in the league as a teenager. all the others entered the league in their 20s. as time goes on and the lebrons and the 1-and-done college players get older, this wont be seen as such a big deal.
and i could care less about these lebron/kobe stan-wars, but its foolish to talk smack about lebron "not being this good at 34" when 34 is right around the corner for lebron himself and it looks like he wont be losing steam anytime soon.

He's built a top 5 career

A lot can change in 6 years
Jordan won MVP at age 35.
Kobe won't come close to winning an MVP next season, which will be his last in the NBA.

Screw athletics, at Kobe age MJ was still WINNING TITLES, not struggling to make the playoffs. Instead at the age of 35, he carried his team to their 6th title. Scoring the last 8 points, game winning steal and jumper.
