There is no comparison. Two different players, two different eras. They are both spectacular in their ways. Many similarities & many differences, but they are both very unique/different players. There is no need for a comparison.

I can sit here n write a whole book on why jordan is better but it won’t change anything. Every one I guess is entitled to his own and whateva you hold in your mind is what really matters, dont try to change the worlds thinking (only the media does that lol). I guess these young kids (my generation, me being 17) were too young to enjoy “airboy’s” greatness so they look for someone in their time to (only person that’s good that they’ve watched) consider G.O.A.T. I luckily grew in a jordan household where Jordan was frequently watched when I was younger and fell in love. TO THINK ABOUT IT I KNEW WHO MICHAEL JORDAN WAS BEFORE I KNEW WHAT BASKETBALL WAS. =) In my opinion no one will ever surpass Jordan and his greatness. Point closed

Firstly, let me start by saying I love Jordan and am very thankful for being able to watch his Airness. I also love Kobe, as he is one of the greatest players ever. Jordan vs. Kobe? Jordan wins hands down!!! With out Jordan there would be no Kobe!! As for Kobe claiming Magic is his favorite player, I guess he says that because he is a Laker. Funny I don’t recall him wearing Converse Weapons when he left Adidas I only remember him wearing Jordans!!! Michael Jordan is a very special athlete that comes along once in a lifetime! That does not mean Kobe is not great he just is not as great as Jordan is. Keep this in mind though; imitation is the most sincere form of flattery!

Personally, THERE IS NO COMPARISON to MJ. He’s evolution as far as when he came into the league, being drafted to the one of the worst teams in the NBA (at the time), no “A-list” supporting cast/teammates, no established NBA title history (Chicago Bulls) etc; It took Jordan 7 years to grab his first championship….simply because he finally realized that he couldn’t do it by himself! With KB, it seems as if it’s a “personal” thing and it doesn’t come off as geniune and a “team thing” with him….but more of a “me..me…me” thing. MJ’s legacy was organically developed where as KB trys to “force feed” his. KB is a great player, but everything he does on the court, the style of play, body language, interviews, is all Michael Jordan!! I truly believe that KB studied MJ’s entire game package to a science but he claims that Magic Johnson is his favorite player?? Come on Kobe!! Are we that naive and blind? Magic was a team player who played for the team…not for personal stats and personally, I just don’t see any ” Magicness” about you so stop with the lies!! If KB stops trying to be Michael, and develops his own, then maybe he’ll be more accepted to comparison to MJ, but he needs to find his own first…it’s easy to adopt someone else’s persona and pretend be someone else.Be yourself Kobe!….and maybe MJ himself will have some respect for you as a player.

It took jordan seven years to win his first title, he scored a bunch of points but never won a title until they put good pieces around him. jordan always had great and good players around him too help him win, not to mention scottie pippen who is also one of the 50 greatest players of all time. its not like he won alone. he didnt have a dominant center, but he had like 3 or 4 big men at his disposal, granted kobe had shaq for three titles, but when shaq was traded, kobe was still leading his team to the playoffs every year with far less talent(except one year). He is about to win his fourth title in 09 with less talent around him. he scored 81 points in modern bball which is far more impressive than wilt who did it as a big man in earlier bball. he’s a better 3 point shooter, jump shooter, and can score in more bunches than jordan! he is about too get his 4th ring at 30 years old, jordan has six, kobe still has years too play too get six! jordan had craig hodges a 3 point shooter who won multiple 3 point contests, kobe doesnt have that, but is still winning! They both had phil jackson! As long as they keep putting pieces around him, he will win, see yall in six titles!
