When Michael Jordan was 36 he was Unquestionably The Best Player in the NBA, while Kobe at 36

[Mensch Fontana]

Lets act like Kobe and the Lakers didnt suck the last 3+ years before the Achilles injury

Back to back titles?

 

[Bilz]

Is jordan > kobe even a debate anymore?

It never should have been a debate in the first place.

Pretty Much.. I think alot of kids playing in the NBA would be alot better had they stayed in College Longer.. Of course there exceptions to the rule.

When I see someone like James Harden succeed who isnt the most athletically gifted player but Fundamentally Sound as can be on offensive side, shows you how far the college game can take you.. No question Harden wouldnt be nearly as good if it wasnt for college and actually staying for more than 1 or 2 years

That's not exactly sucking, maybe by Laker standards it is

Would there have been any question that Jordan would have been the best player the next season had he not retired

Yes. Tim Duncan

 

[IGSaint12]

Did Jordan come off an achilles injury at 36? No? Ok..

And that doesn't include the mileage difference between Kobe and Jordan at the same ages.

 

[waltthizzney]

we gonna forget how Kobe basically lead the lakers post all star game to the playoffs only to get hurt and watch a dwitht led team get destroyed in 4?

 

[L@CaT]

Yes. Tim Duncan

Bulls in 6

Kobe had nothing to do with that. The refs had more to do with that then any laker player.

This is how Kobestans start false stories.

blaming the refs for the lakers having the best record post all star game

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

Man what the fukk?

We already know Jordan is better.

And why are you leaving out additional context like Kobe blowing out his Achilles and then having another injury to his knee the following season?

Ya nikkas are boring with this shyt.

or even the fact that Jordan was surrounded by hall of fame talent basically his whole career..

Jordan at 36 aint winnin 30 games with this roster

You might be a retard. It was predicted that Stern would help them get into the playoffs, then, they started getting mysterious calls in every game, including the hilarious foul on Harrison Barnes when Kobe's Achilles decided to play slingshot :JJ:
