Kobe Bryant was a better dunker than Michael Jordan

[tpols]

Jordan was a two footed chest 2 chest poster, and one legged, hang time, one handed slam dunker, and nothing more.

Kobe dunked on guys from every angle, and with every type of move and footwork.. vastly superior dunking arsenal.


No contest.

WTF is this shit I'm reading that these kids are posting?

Kobe was so damn inferior to MJ both in dunking and in dominating.

[Angel Face]

Haha, Funny thread. MJ is among top 3 in-game dunkers of all time. Kobe's not on the same level. There's only two people that I can put alongside MJ when it comes to dunking in-game. VC and Nique.

Jordan will forever be the GOAT in game dunker imo.

Kobe had superior body control i'd say. The angles at which he could bang out were amazing. His drive game doesn't get enough credit imo just because he was so deadly from so many other spots on the floor.

Jordan didn't go for highlight dunks in game just for the sake of them. If you look at most of his highlight plays/dunks that DID have flair, they were in response to the defense and were what was required of the situation.

Nah not even close. Kobe is clearly a better shooter, but Jordan is a way better dunker, the athleticism isnt at the same level really.

How did this myth that Kobe is a great shooter originate?

Kobe is a career 39% jump shooter. 39.7% in the PO's and 39.3% in the RS to be specific. 40.2% from midrange for his career as well.

Oh you kids. Gotta love the effort. MJ didn't need technique because he was the most gifted athlete to ever step on a bball court. He could cheat. Yeah, unfair but true. Kobe just wasn't on MJ's level as a PURE athlete.

Yo 3ball, you're up man. Do 'em with those beautiful MJ gifs.

How old you?

[aj1987]

How old you?

I'm assuming around 20, since he wasn't really an MJ stan when he first started posting. He actually talked ball and was a Clippers fan.

Vince Carter was a much better dunker than both of them.

Only reason why people rank Kobe over Jordan when it comes to dunking is because he did more 360 dunks in regular season games than Jordan.

can Kobe do this?

This is Kobe doing the crashboard imitation of MJ
