MJ picks Kobe over LeBron
I've been a Heat fan since the days of ZO and Hardaway. Having LeBron come join the Heat has created a lot of bandwagoners, haters, and dick riders. That being said I want to know what ISH thinks of the GOAT picking Kobe over LeBron. This should be fun :rockon: :rockon:

Also these are all the people with more rings than MJ so technically they are better than him.
Bill Russell
Sam Jones
Tom Heinsohn
Tom "Satch" Sanders
John Havlicek
Jim Loscutoff
Frank Ramsey
Robert Horry

Re: MJ picks Kobe over LeBron
MJ's evaluation of talent has proven to be terrible many times.

Re: MJ picks Kobe over LeBron
Didn't MJ also pick James Worthy as his all-time PF too?

Re: MJ picks Kobe over LeBron
Read the article guys. He didn't pick Kobe as the better player. He picked him solely based on the ring count. [B]Jordan picked the most successful player.[/B]
[QUOTE][B]Jordan, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, said he views the Lakers star guard as the more successful player to date when compared to the Miami Heat All-Star.[/B][/QUOTE]
[QUOTE][B]"If you had to pick between the two, that would be a tough choice," said Jordan, "but five beats one every time I look at it."[/B][/QUOTE]

Do people not read here?
[quote]Michael Jordan still picks Kobe Bryant over LeBron James.
Jordan, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, said he views the Lakers star guard as the more successful player to date when compared to the Miami Heat All-Star.
"If you had to pick between the two, that would be a tough choice," said Jordan, "but five beats one every time I look at it."
Bryant has five titles with the Lakers with seven trips to the NBA Finals. James has one championship with three finals' appearances.
"And not that he won't get five," continued Jordan on James. "He may get more than that, but five is bigger than one."
NBA TV will air a special on the Chicago Bulls Hall-of-Famer in honor of Jordan's 50th birthday. Jordan currently owns the Charlotte Bobcats.[/quote]
It's a short ass article. If you have even a 3rd grade reading level, this article shouldn't take more than 1 minute to read.

Re: MJ picks Kobe over LeBron
Speaking of MJ as a player evaluator, wouldn't this qualify as tampering considering he is affiliated with a team and is commenting on players currently under contract?
Apparently, those rules are pretty strict - I remember listening to a radio interview with Rockets GM Daryl Morey and he refused to answer seemingly innocent questions like "Name an underrated player in this league" because he didn't want to get in trouble.

MJ wasn't speaking to the value of either player. That would be tampering. He said who in his opinion has had more success so far.

James' response at shootaround Thursday, as the Heat prepare for their showdown with the Thunder:
"It doesn't matter to me. If you take Kobe one and I go second, it doesn't matter. I don't get too involved in what guys say about me or if you take Kobe or if you take LeBron. As long as I'm on the floor and I make plays for my teammates, I don't do what I do for other people's approval."

Re: MJ picks Kobe over LeBron
With Mike's evaluation skills, I'd expect him to pick Greg Oden over LeBron James at this point.

Re: MJ picks Kobe over LeBron
I would love if someone will ever be able to ask him the correct question... "Who do you think is the best player NOW" "Who would you take TODAY"...
Because career wise its an easy choice... he keeps mentioning those five rings afterall...
Either he is talking about their careers... thats understandable... or MJ is one insecure old bitter guy...

that's a really STUPID question because anyone, even myself as a huge kobe stan would take lebron today... why wouldn't you take a guy in his prime?
and everybody bringing up robert horry is HILARIOUS because you're still saying MJ>Kobe>Lebron right? You are basically saying robert horry contributed to those rings on the same level as mj did to his, kobe did to his, and lebron did to his...

MJ wouldn't pick Kobe if he was insecure FFS.

Re: MJ picks Kobe over LeBron
He picked Kobe because he has five rings over the one by Lebron. Jordan also added that Lebron could possibly have five or more rings when his (Lebron) career is over. Get a grip. The Kobe hating has to stop.

Kobe's old now, but a couple years ago he was asked in 09 and 10, he said Kobe.

Bulllshyt!!! That was a salty response, had he chosen James, he would be getting all wet saying what a honor it is.

Re: MJ picks Kobe over LeBron
I'm not going to argue that Kobe is a better passer or rebounder, because he isn't. But Kobe from 05' to 07' was a better scorer than LeBron ever will be or has. If you deny this you're either:
1.) too young (most likely)
2.) blatant kobe hater/bron bron dick rider

MJ is irrelevant to the NBA unless we're talking about how pitiful he is as a GM.
