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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
