Comparing Michal Jordan and Kobe Bryant

[TATI]

MY FAVORITE PLAYERS! GO BULLS.....YA DIG

[Gatspy]

Kobe is clutch.... Next to him would be Wade

lebron isn't clutch... He doesn't show up in the finals and he failed last yr in the EFC

the cabs are peaking at the wrong time just like every year

FAH being a clutch player doesn't mean anything. MJ was the greatest clutch player the league has ever seen and he didn't a title by being a clutch player. He won cause he was surrounded by guys who could have carried the team on their own. Pippen lead the Bulls to playoffs without MJ actually. Lebron shows up in post season as but the difference on their demise to the Magic last season was the fact that the Magic had one too many guns. It wasn't just Dwight that the Cavs didn't have an answer to, it was Richard Lewis and Micheal Pietrus and Jameer Nelson and Hedo Turkoglu. Guys who were able to make big shots long range and at the same time were able to get the ball to their big man in the middle.

No one is disputing that Kobe is a clutch player but since did only being a clutch player determined being the best. Lebron is leading the league in points, he is top 6 in assists and top 50 in REB with all the big men in the league. He is doing everything in the court pushing his team to the best record in the league. This guys is best player in the league and its silly to say otherwise.

Walle michael jordan got me more interested into nba, before that I did'nt give a sh1t about american sports. I would go as far as saying he is the best sportman ever in the US imo.

First of all, anyone even mentioning Kobe in the same sentence as MJ like that should be shot in the mouth. Twice.

Secondly, as much as I hate Kobe more than I love anything, he's the best player in the game today. He has a more reliable jumper, suffocating defense and his basketball IQ is unmatched. The guy studies the game when he's not playing it or practicing for it, and is obsessed with being the best basketball player of all time, and it's that hard work and "keep on keepin on" attitude which made him the best basketball player on the planet that he is today. Lebron is the most athletic basketball player ever, bar none, but he still isn't at that level yet. Then again, he's only been in the league 6 years while Kobe's been in it for 13, so it's not really a fair comparison yet. Lebron definitely has the potential to surpass Kobe if his career isn't cut short and he probably will. As for the here and now, if Kobe broke everything in his body and was forced to retire tomorrow, there's no doubt Lebron would be the best basketball player alive....and even less doubt that Mr. Yungnfresh would have something to do with it.

Lebron is the most athletic basketball player ever

Very true but his basketball IQ is not that high. And his team sucks big time. This guys deserves a better team than the stupid cavs.
