Jordan vs Bryant


Dexterity

Recommended Posts

When comparing players and debating who is better, shouldn't each player be better at something? Otherwise, what exactly is the argument? I only ask because so many people want to compare Kobe to MJ, yet I can't find anything Kobe is better at than MJ.

The only thing Kobe wins at is 3 point shooting.

Jordans 3pt% is 327. Kobes is 334. Kobe shot 3300 more though. The rest is accurate.

They are both at 33% 3pt shooting because .327 & .334 both round to 33%. That said, these totals are their season & playoff numbers combined.

Jordan is .328%

Bryant is .333%

That leaves them tied at 33% 3pt shooting. Unless you are saying Kobe's better because he shoots 0.005% better from 3pt range.

Jordan is the greatest. Kobe is top 10.

^Lakers fan

Jordan the greatest? Eh, probably but Oscar Robertson was really fuging good. Probably better but Jordan played in the right era & has the legacy.

Kobe top 10? Eh, doubtful. Kobe is top 20, arguably 10-15 range, but it gets crowded in the top 10.

Jordan

Robertson

Chamberlain

Duncan

Johnson

Abdul-Jabbar

O'Neal

Olajuwon

Bird

Malone

West

James

& several others I've missed.

Kobe is nowhere near MJ. When It's all said and done It'll be LeBron and MJ top 2, most likely MJ being considered the best because of the brand he is has just made him immortal. LeBron is such a better all around player than Kobe it isn't even funny, if LeBron plays until Kobes age and stays healthy he'll be ahead of Kobe in points, rebounds, assists & I don't know this for sure but probably steals and blocks. Kobe is playing on a bad team for max money taking a huge amount of shots on a horrible FG% just trying to inflate his points In the record books.

Yes. Jordan having the big brand and the Nike powerhouse behind him, the commercials, the shoes, the ads, it all has helped Jordans legacy about as much as his play. He was the 1st to do the things he did with Nike and it immortalized him. In 20 years they are still going to be re-releasing retro Jordans and kids will be camping over night to buy them and saying jordan was jesus christ on a basketball court even though they've never seen jordan play. Nike marketed him flawlessly

LeBron won't ever reach that level. He's bigger, but doesn't have the pure skill those two possess.

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
