[makoyvelasco]

well, he might be the greatest scorer ever. for sure there would be a rivalry between kobe and jordan. but i still think jordan and the bulls would still win titles

Kobe or MJ?
THE GAME OF MY LIFE By Bill Velasco
The Philippine Star 04/21/2007

The Los Angeles Lakers earned valuable playoff real estate near the rear in the Western Conference, taking the seventh seed. With all the injuries this season, the Showtime gang has needed Herculean efforts from Kobe Bryant to stay in the NBA playoffs.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Tribune has reported that Bryant and Michael Jordan have become good buddies off the court. Amazingly enough, they have managed to cool off the competitive fires that had them in each other’s jerseys when Jordan was still playing. One of the topics they seem to debate about is which of them faced tougher defenses.

how can you be so sure about it? you were speaking as if kobe hasn't got the skills that mj had..

a lot of you guys are always under estimating kobe but game after game, kobe doesn't fail to impress everybody..

[makoyvelasco]

with his relentless scoring abilities, kobe might outscore jordan game after game and season after season. but jordan's maturity and leadership qualities is way above kobe's. kobe will be entering his 12th season having 3 titles working as a shadow for shaquille o'neal while jordan also had 3 enternig his 12th season but he was the one who led the bulls.

Kobe is one of the finest to ever play the game of basketball. Many are comparing him to jordan but MJ is MJ, period. They both have their own strength and weaknesses. This debate can be endless and no one holds the answer bcoz they existed on a different basketball era. But to ask if Kobe can be successful on Jordan's era? Definitely. NBA rules today are different compared to Jordan's playing years. And in my opinion, it's more difficult to score points today bcoz zone defense is now applied in the NBA. You cannot play zone during Jordan's era or you'll be slapped with a technical for illegal defense rule. So if you know what I'm talking about, you'll be amazed how Kobe can score 50+ pts in 4 straight games with the zone defense so active and the frequent double/triple teaming on him. I have 2 words... AWE-SOME!

yeah, the advantage of mj those days is that. wala pa ang zone defense. dili pariha karon na maru na ug dili na makumpyansaan ang mga bench kay nanay madz skills. hehehe pero murag dili sad mag silbi cguro ang zone, kay mj is consistent. pusa pusa gyud. unya i think kobe will be successful sa mj era.

[edgeknife]

he may be, but he can't surpass MJ
