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.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
