Also, why would Jordan a man that played on one team for all of his playing years (1984 - 1998), willed himself to elevate his play and turn his team into champions, and made sure the ball was always in his hands during the last seconds.........WHY would he respect a guy that's team hopped two times (about to do it again), creates superteams and is scared of the big moment. Why would he respect that![]()
Not just shots, he controls the entire offense with respect to rebounds, assists, scoring, he doesn't play off the ball well...which is one of his biggest flaws. I believe this past year was the first year in his career someone other than him took more shots than him. However, I'm not talking about shots, I'm talking about his blatant stat padding.
His teams need to learn how to play without him having such a high usage rate. So that come playoff time, they're used to playing without him effectively while he rest. LeBron deserves a large portion of blame for that. He's more concerned with stats, than winning.
People claim that MJ pumps up Kobe to keep LeBron at bay
Well LeBron fans have been overrated Pau and Bynum for a decade now out of Kobe hate.
Point blank: If you go on rants about how Kobe had "Pau and Bynum" and never even mention Lamar, you never watched the Lakers and you're just a hater. Period. Its beyond ridiculous how the narrative has gone to "Pau and Bynum" when Bynum was literally irrelevant for the 2009 and was the 5th or 6th best player on the 2010 team. LO, Derek Fisher, Artest, and Ariza played a bigger part in those titles than Bynum.
BTW, if Pau was a monster on the Lakers, wouldnt Kobe be a big part of that considering Pau was averaging 15 and 6 and getting swept in the playoffs in Memphis![]()
Jordan tried to get traded from the bulls back in the '80s.
and in the '90s, he would threaten to retire whenever they tried to trade pippen.
breh. there should NEVER have been a point in his career where someone on his team takes more shots. hes been the best player in the league for a decade & counting.
meanwhile, kobe out here taking 3 times as many shots as his teammates, when he shouldn't have even been a starter anymore.
you tell me whose the ball-hog.
don't even get me started on Jordan.
LeBron stat-pads how? he can play any position, so of course hes gonna control the offense in all aspects.
The fact you said it and actually think it negates your opinion on anything MJ/Kobe/LeLoss related.The Goat has spoken and Bronsexuals still in the thread arguing to the death for their "Kang"
nikkas don't even know what team they gonna be rooting for in a year
Pathetic

Funny thing is Jordan always liked Kobe. Even before Bron got to the league and when Kobe was coming up he gave him props that he never gave LeBron. Also remember a few years back Jordan even said Kobe "might" beat him one on one. He obviously threw in the shot that was because Kobe stole all his moves. But the sentiment was clear and has always been clear. Kobe is the only guy Jordan ever thought was worthy of being compared to him.
LeBron fans simply can't face the fact that Jordan simply respects Kobe more than he does LeBron. PERIOD. Has nothing to do with trying to keep LeBron at bay. And most NBA players follow suit. Whether its D-Wade, Durant, Dirk, or random role players, almost all of them also say Kobe > LeBron. Its time for the Bron stans to just face this fact. People who have played the game prefer Kobe. PERIOD. There is no conspiracy theory. It just is the way it is.

LeLoss fiends actually have to defend this kind of behaviorYou a fukking lie. But nikkas know wasup with Kobe's rings. I consider him to have 2 myself.

Those dumbasses think making the "right" play and losing is better than just making the play and winning.They also the ones who think it's somehow better to be 3-5 with no threepeats than either 5-2 with 1 threepeat or even 6-0 with 2 threepeats![]()
pau gasol was arguably the best 2nd-option in the league back then,
why couldn't you imagine LeBron winning a title with gasol, when we've already seen what LeBron does with less? kobe is the one that's never won anything without a stacked team.
and kobe shouldn't even be in the discussion. hes not a top 10 player.
