ESPN Interview Robert Horry-"Michael Jordan Is Far The Best Basketball Player"

[Crown&Coke]

Horry's opinion is biased. He played alongside Kobe. He DIDN'T play alongside Jordan. He saw all of Kobe's faults and shortcomings but never had the opportunity to see Jordan's. His view of Kobe is based on reality while his view of Jordan is based on hype and fantasy. Unfair assessment. I'd like to hear what someone like Ron Harper, Dennis Rodman, etc. has to say about it, not some guy that jerks it to MJ but never actually shared the court with him.

I saw a youtube clip of Ron Harper and Pip doing some work at some shoe company, and someone asked about Kobe/MJ comparison and Harper said MJ was a better player and it isn't even close.

not saying I agree/disagree but Ron did play with Kobe during his first two titles, when a lot of people were dogging Kobe because he was selfish. And I really like Harper as a player, but saying its not even close is a bit much.

i think rodman also said that jordan is > lebron, and its not close. And well... lebron is a better player than kobe.

Hooray, the #1 Kobe troll is back....

Kobetards at there best

Barkley states MJ is better....troll response he's a hater and dumb

Magic: MJ is GOAT.....troll response he's a hater because Kobe is threatening his GLOAT status

Craig Hodges while Lakers shooting coach, MJ all day, trolls....oh he's a hater, who cares

Pippen:....Jordan is the GOAT, trolls what do you expect from a guy that rode Jordans coattails, he's a hater

Horry:....who cares about a scrubs opinion, he's a hater

Larry Brown: Jordan would be even better today under these rules......oh he's a hater

Joe Johnson: I can't imagine what Jordan would do under todays rules....oh he wears Jordan brand, of course he's biased, he's a hater

Jerry West: Jordan is the best ever...oh he's a hater

Danny Ainge: Jordan the best all around player ever...oh he's a hater, what does he know

Tim Grover: Jordan the best he has seen.....oh he's a hater, and sponsored by MJ

Joe Dumars: Jordan would be better today, oh he's a hater

Phil Jackson: Jordan is better and Jordan would avg 45....oh he is fos, he's just a hater

99.5% of the basketball community...Jordan is better period....oh you guys are haters and live in the space jam community

.............................................

Mark Jackson: Kobe is the best ever.........troll: Mark Jackson played in the NBA and is still currently involved in some capacity of the game, he know what he's talking about.(But the above legends, GM's, coaches don't)

Phil Jackson: I think Kobe is more skilled than Jordan......troll: Even Phil says he's better than MJ(yet when he states Jordan would avg 45 and that Jordan is better, please stop the comparison, he's FOS)

Jamille Hill: Kobe is better.....troll: Hell yeah, this is the truth, yeah she didn't see prime MJ, but she is 100% right

Nothing worst than a bunch of hypocrites, which is exactly why no one can stand Kobestans, AlphaWolf being #1 in line

Jerry west is the dood that wanted KOBE, and he even says jordan is the GOAT. poor kobe stans

[StarJordan]

alphawolf Steve Kerr has never said Kobe is better than MJ or even equal. Must be embarassing for you all to have the guy who has more rings than kobe and teammate of kobe's (horry) say jordan is better. Just like Magic.

[rodman91]

By the way who cares if they say Kobe was better? Games got online and stats, awards are well known...It wouldn't change anything.

Kobe is all time great. Jordan is greatest of all times.

Exactly. Too many Jordan games available for people to fall for the bullsh*t. But Alpha's working the hell out of the internet, though. All for nothing

[whoartthou]

Yep.

As Alpha would say... NEXT!

[rodman91]

I suspect Alpha is Vanessa Bryant.

[10x91= 5 Rings]

I suspect Alpha is Vanessa Bryant.

Where`s Karl Malone when you need him. "HEEHAWW hunting them down"

[SavageMode]

You're a f*ckin' nut-gobbling idiot. I never said Horry didn't play AGAINST Jordan. I said he never played WITH him. Being someone's teammate exposes their weaknesses. When you're around someone so much you can see all their faults. Playing against someone a few times, on the other hand, shows you nothing. If that someone kicks your a$$ you'd think "Wow, he's amazing!" when in reality you probably just suck.

And Savage, only idiots make their text big to try getting their point across. If your words can't speak for themselves without the gimmick of oversized type then maybe you should go back to the sh*thole you crawled out of and leave the posting to the big boys. Your stats don't mean sh*t anyway. Jordan played in a sh*t era. Kind of easy to score 30ppg when you're being guarded by the likes of Jeff Hornacek on a nightly basis. Kobe would've averaged 40ppg if he had played in that weaksh*t era.
