Kobe Bryant better than Michael Jordan!?

[volfanbill]

Even more ironic . . . I'm thinking of 23 different ways I could ban you for reminding me of how old I am.

well it makes me feel old when all these youngsters are touting Kobe over MJ, but you do have a few years on me.

Meaning, I think Kobe would win in a one on one game more times than not. He was quicker, had a better shot, more explosive, smarter player, etc.

Easy there.....Jordan was WAY quicker than Kobe. Jordan was also more explosive. I also think Jordan was the smarter player.

Kobe isn't the athlete Jordan was, period.

No. Kobe is dedicated to the game, but he still has those moments when he shows no class. Kobe doesn't have the same mentality as Jordan did. Jordan never quit on his team the way Kobe has in the past. Jordan changed the game. Kobe is just standing on his shoulders.

I have never seen Kobe Bryant quit.

I have never seen Kobe Bryant quit.

I think he may have been referring to Kobe "quitting" off the court.

Kobe basically quit on the Lakers in the summer of 07, publicly criticizing the front office and demanding to be traded.
