Taken from a few posts I made in responses to threads made recently....

Wilt Chamberlain scored 100, David Thompson scored 73, David Robinson scored 71...Jordan's career high is 69. So does that mean all those players are better than Jordan too? Yall kill me thinking that a person is better than another because they scored more points as a career high.

Anybody can get a ring at a young age. All you have to do is be on the winning team, u dont even have to make an impact, just be on the team. Also...Difference is...Jordan led his team to those 6 rings. Kobe didnt lead his team to those rings, he had Shaq. Now Kobe is on his own, hell....he can barely lead his team to the playoffs, let alone 6 rings. Jordan could have between 8-10 rings if he wouldnt have retired from the Bulls neither time. Ima break it down to you why Kobe cant hold a torch to Jordan. MJ make could make players around him better while dominate the game scoring. Jordan was a far better defender, offensive player and all around better playe than Kobe is. Jordan is a five-time MVP and a six-time finals MVP, Kobe never been MVP for neither. Kobe will never do the things that Jordan did, face it.

If u wanna bring up scoring, this is only Kobe's second time averaging 30+ points per game. Jordan averaged more than 30+ points per game for at least 8 out of his 13 seasons in the NBA (15 including the 2 seasons with The Wizards). This is like Kobe's 10th season in the NBA and he's averaging 35.9 points per game. Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game in his 3rd season, and his team got to the playoffs. Then came back and averaged 35.0 points per game that next season and got his team to the playoffs again. So basically, all the things that Kobe is doing now...Jordan did it in his early days. Kobe isnt doing nothing that Jordan hasnt already done. Also, not to mention, the defense was a lot tougher back in Jordan's day than what it is today. You only have two great defensive teams in the NBA today....thats Detroit and San Antonio, thats it.

U wanna bring up 60+ point games? Jordan has 9 games where he scored 60 or more. U wanna bring up 50 point games? Jordan has 39 games where he's scored 50 or more. Kobe has 11. U wanna mention 40+ point games? Jordan has had 173 games in his career that he's scored between 40-49. Kobe isnt even over 50. Wanna mention 30+ point games? About 75% of Jordan's games were 30 points and above, thats why his career scoring average as a bull was 31.5 ppg (dropped to 30.1 when he went to the wizards). Kobe's career scoring average is 23.2. Jordan shoots 50% on his career, Kobe shoots 45%. They say Kobe's a better three point shooter, he may be, but...their career three point field goal percentages arent far from each other. Kobe's is 33.4% and Jordan's is 32.7%...with that said, Kobe isnt even that much of a better three point shooter than Jordan. Do I need to continue? Lets not mention how Jordan won the scoring title and defensive player of the year in the same season, AND his team got to the conference finals that season. Kobe hasnt even done half of what Jordan has, so yall can chill with saying that Kobe is better than Jordan.

Yall think its a joke? Check the career stats for yourselves...After reading those stats, feel free to shut the fuck up.

You're wrong......David Robinson is better than Jordan. Na but obviously its unfair to comapre career numbers between Jordan and Kobe. Simply cuz MJ has played more and was a thrown into the starter/leader role right away. Kobe on the other hand had to wait awhile even to be a starter let alone a star. I mean his first all-star game I think he was only avg. 14 pts a game he got in all off hype. After Kobes career is done Im sure he will surpass MJ in all those numbers. I mean I hate Kobe for real (Spurs fan) but I do think he will pass Jordans numbers eventually. I'm not sure if he'll be better than Jordan as far as intangibles like leadership and makin everyone better.

I'm witcha on that one. Kobe is deep and exciting to watch. I think he should get the MVP.... he's close to Jordan but he's not better. If they faced each other in their primes.... it would be a good match up but Jordan would wouldn't lose. He was quicker, had more hops and hangtime... so he'd give Kobe trouble. MJ is better.

I never said he was better. But you'll notice one thing about all those scoring numbers for Jordan, 41,011 career minutes for Jordan (not counting playoffs) and 25,210 career minutes for Kobe (not counting playoffs) so he still has 16 thousand minutes to play and he's still improving and working on his leadership skills. Give him some time he's only 28, and at his health, worth ethich, he could be in it for atleast 10 more years.

Yup...still too early to say this comparison is a wrap. Wait till Kobe's done, then we'll see.

LOL

Ask any analyst who knows anything about basketball. They'll tell you Kobe is not and will not be better than Jordan. It doesn't matter what his numbers amount to. Having scored more points doesn't make you better than the next guy in terms of all-around performance. It is widely known that Jordan was more of a team player than Kobe and he was a much better defender. So basically it doesn't make any difference what Kobe's numbers look like when his career's over. He is not and will not be better than MJ. Period.

I remember some moron trying to argue with Rick Barry about this shit. It was comedy.
