HmmmmJordan flu game vs Kobe 81?

Just stating some facts .
All right, let’s play a little game of either-or. Who would you rather have?
.........
Bryant or Jordan? Jordan.
Bryant or Magic Johnson? Johnson.
Bryant or Larry Bird? Bird.
Bryant or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Abdul-Jabbar.
Bryant or Bill Russell? Russell.
Bryant or Tim Duncan?
“That’s where it gets interesting,” Berger said. “I think Duncan. You probably have to (say Duncan). That’s close. If you put a gun to my head, I might have to say Duncan.”


Now that Kobe Bryant has passed Michael Jordan for third place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, can we definitively rank him as one of the 10 greatest players ever?
“You know, it’s interesting,” CBS Sports senior NBA writer Ken Berger said on Tiki and Tierney. “I hadn’t actually taken out an envelop and a pencil and scratched that out on paper, but I would think so.”
Bryant has scored 32,331 points in his career – 39 more points than Michael Jordan (32,292). He now trails Karl Malone by 4,597 points for second all time and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by 6,056 points for first place all time.
“Obviously in terms of the scoring list, he’s not going to catch Malone or Kareem, and it’s not just all about that,” Berger said. “But I mean, (he’s won) five championships. He doesn’t have the MVP resume that some guys have – like a LeBron, for example – but right now, I think you have to have him in there. He’s had an incredible career – and at an important time for the NBA. I think that’s important, too. He kind of connects that old-school era and the new era with LeBron and whoever comes next.”


fukk all that....since yall wanna give Ken Berger's opinion weight, let's post MORE from the same article
Like I said before only a damn FOOL would say that Kobe is not a Top 10 player of all-time
And being that all yall agree with him saying Duncan > Kobe, then agree just as much with him saying Kobe is Top 10 all-time![]()

Timmy got more mvp awards, more finals mvp awards, as many titles in fewer tries, has never had a bad finals (2000, 2001, 2004, 2008, 2010), never quit on his team, and has led the Spurs to the top in 3 different decades. Class act and a great teammate and leader. Yeah it's a no brainer I'm going with the big fundamental.


He shot 41% against detroit in 05. Team still won, but a big man shooting 41%, and yall give Kobe shyt for it.
