A Rookie 1984 Michael Jordan or a Current Kobe Bryant?

[Dnn111]

I know, I know, I know that this may have been discussed over one billion times but I am wondering who would be better for a team? A young 1984-1987 Michael Jordan or a current Kobe Bryant?

A lot of people say that they didn't know that Michael Jordan would be as good as he turned out to be whenever he was drafted in 1984. But is this type of Michael Jordan (with hair on his head) better than a current MVP Kobe Bryant?

Michael who? Jordan?

who's better: early Jordan or prime Bo Kimble?

The better question Jordan as a toddler or current Kobe Bryant?

Jordan's walk-on at Illinois son Jeffrey or Kobe's wife. WHO WINS

When it comes to Kobe vs Jordan, I count on only 3 people to make a reasonable/honest/objective assessment here.

Psileas/The Indian Guy/Dejordan.

Maybe someone else I'm forgetting and if that's so, I apologize.

honestly

i cant quote on this because i wasnt around to watch those old jordan james

and i bet most of the people who post here didnt either.

but from common sense an 11 player veteran is better than a rookie..in this case...dumb thread...

They were different types of players. Rookie Jordan could most likely equal current Kobe's production, but Kobe's game management and the general polish of his game is more than what rookie Jordan's was. Rookie Jordan was also more of an energy/intensity player than current Kobe, so he could provide a spark that way.

I'd probably take current Kobe. I would take '87 and later Jordan over any version of Kobe, however.

I really don't care what anyone says... the vast majority of the time when it comes to Jordan vs Kobe topics... the only reasonable, honest, objective assessment is that Jordan was by far and away, yes, by far and away, a superior basketball player.

I'd probably take a current Kobe over a rookie MJ but it wouldn't be some slam dunk decision. This one actually is debatable.

But prime vs prime, career vs career, MJ wins hands down. Anyone who says otherwise is a damn fool or completely ignorant of the past.

Obviously current Kobe. I'd prefer to watch Mike again though.
