Kobe Bryant: Don't Compare Me To Michael Jordan At My Age


“This is uncharted territory,” he said. “My 37 (years old) isn’t MJ’s 37 (when he returned after taking two seasons off to play for the Washington Wizards), you know what I mean? Nor is it the same team or the same system that he was playing in. It’s much, much different. There’s really no barometer, no (precedent) for training physically, for recovery. It’s uncharted territory.”


Bryant, coming off of two seasons mostly lost to injury, passed Jordan on the NBA’s all-time scoring list last season and now ranks third behind Karl Maloneand Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The 2015-2016 season will be Bryant’s 20th in the league. No player in NBA history has played more seasons with one team.

relentlessly arrogant.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Jordan had nearly three complete seasons off from then and played in one Olympics, the biggest Olympics ever. He played a fraction of kobes total games and minutes.

Kobes 37 is KAREEMS 37

[Noah]

He has a point

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

In fact at 37 Kareem had played 56k minutes, Kobe has played 55k total NBA minutes

Plus kobes Olympic run? No comparison.

 

[Liquid]

Not sure how this can be disputed.

 

[King Poetic]

Who Cares.. dude isn't going to give u the Kareem after 37 numbers...

Just play your paul pierce roll and be happy u getting 22 mill

 

[Jplaya2023]

Id rather be 37 playing in the nba then 40 playing in the nba


Actual age wear and tear >>>>>>>>>> mythical nba minutes argument wear and tear

 

[FTBS]

It's true . Playing straight through like that presents challenges that coming back after multiple years off doesn't and vice versa.
