Will we be debating MJ, Kobe and Lebron forever???

[BrothaZay]

Kobe himself has said he modeled his game entirely after Jordan's. His dynasty is like the sequel and sequels are never better then the original

Jordan patterned his game after people too, so?
And if you think Kobe modeled his game 100% after jordans, again, you clearly don't know basketball.

Did you check out those shooting percentages? Those are CAREER percentages. By the skin of his teeth is he a better free throw and 3pt shooter than Jordan. Real fukking thin. Kobe patterned his game after mikes. Check out those youtube vids. Kobe and MJ identical plays. Mike got his aerial assault from Dr J. But Kobe has patterned his game after MJ, if he took from anyone else I'd like to know who

So Kobe didn't actively work with Hakeem and Kareem to be more effective in the post? He didn't add Dirk's shot to his arsenal either, huh? Jordan was the only person he grew up, watched and stole from?

“I’m a student of the game, you know, so I know the history; I know where Michael’s moves came from,” said Bryant about stealing moves. “I know they came from David Thompson. I know they came from Dr. J. I know they came from, in particular, Jerry West. So Michael didn’t invent the wheel. He stole a lot of moves from a lot of great players.

“I just so happened to steal some moves from him, and I just probably stole them better than anybody else has. You have to learn from the greats that came before you, that’s how it should be done.

 

[H.I.M.]

Jordan seasons with over 100 steals: 12
Kobe seasons with over 100 steals: 11
Jordan Seasons with over 200 steals: 6
Kobe seasons with over 200 steals: 0
Jordan seasons with over 100 blocks: 2
Kobe seasons with over 100 blocks: 0
Jordan seasons with over 50 blocks: 8
Kobe seasons with over 50 blocks: 4
Jordan seasons with 200+ steals and 100+ blocks: 2
Nba players with seasons with 200+ steals and 100+ blocks: 0

You still not telling me why.
Kobe is a better shooter than Jordan.
Better scorer(IMO)
Arguably a better defender.
Just a more skillful player with the basketbal all around

Kobe's supposedly a "better scorer" but is less efficient than Jordan in just about every single scoring category.

This nikka even trotted out a Center's FG% and tryed to compare it to two Shooting Guards who's role on offense is exactly the same.

The thing that bugs me about Kobe fans the most, is when they say he has better footwork than Mike did.

post me some footage of David Thompson, some shyt I can see on film. With Kobe it's blatant. He took damn near 100% of his style of play from MJ. Ok add in "dirks shot" and taking ballet lessons from Hakeem and Kareem. That's what, 2% of his game. The rest comes from jordan. Post the videos and prove me wrong. MJ developed his free throw line dunk from dr j and other aerial moves.

From 94 to 97 the NBA shortened the 3 point line to the college level. That's what helped boost Jordan's 3 point %.

 

[Carlos Huerta]

Jordan who never had a winning season without Scottie Pippen(A player with more assist and rebounds than Jordan while only playing 66 more minutes)

'88 Bulls went 50-32 with a rookie Pippen scoring 7 pts/game and 2 assts. Do us all a favor and shut the fukk up.

Kobe or Bron should never be compared to Jordan again, but the media loves making the comparison so it will never stop.

 

[FTBS]

Whenever somebody mentions Bron with Kobe they say LeBron has already surpassed anything Kobe's done, and they go on to mention him being carried by Shaq, and 6/24 etc. dude is the most disrespected legend ever.

The media wants badly for Bron to be better than Jordan, they wanted Kobe out the top spot so bad that they were trying to crown LeBron as the best in the league while Bean was in the finals and winning championships.

Yeah because nobody has ever said anything bad about Lebron. Bron took more heat for changing teams and having a special about it than Kobe did for raping a white girl. I swear some people just live in their own world.

Frankly at this point it's disrespectful to Mike to keep comparing those two to him. Kobe can't catch him and Bron's chances at this point are slim to none. Hopefully KD and Bron can give us that Bird/Magic dynamic cats have been looking for.

Yup. Mike was shooting 40% from there. Guys would literally be taking 10 threes a game if they shortened the line today and would be connecting at a high % too.
