Jordan 69 pt game vs Kobe 81 point game

[LakersDynasty]

Bryant's 81 was more impressive offensively, but it's obvious that Jordan's was the better all around game.

You beat me to it.

[Yao Ming]

Michael Jordan

[MaxFly]

agree to disagree, when in rome.

You believe that Bryant had the better all around game?

[Xplicit]

are you trying to say that MJ's 69 was better than Kobe's 81? go to the store and buy something that costs 81 dollars but instead only pay 69 dollars and 18 pennies and see if the clerk thinks its better than 81

Handchecking. Ever heard of it?

And comparing rebounds to pennies makes you sound retarded. You're saying a rebound is only worth .01 of a scored point?

[Brunch@Five]

considering the zone Kobe was in in the 2nd half, it's no stretch to say that he'd have gotten to 90 points in overtime. Also, Kobe singlehandedly erased a 20 point deficit and outscored the opponent in the second half.
I don't care how many rebounds you get, it doesn't compare to what Kobe achieved that game

no Jordan had the better all around game Kobe just scored and he had like what 2 assists?

you can suck kobe's **** all day sis. like i said jordan could score 1,000 pts if he wanted to. he just wasnt as much a ballhog as kobe

Yeah the point was you totally ignore the subject of handchecking.

Guys like Kobe, Lebron, Wade, etc. score 40 so often noawadays, it's almost not even news anymore when they do it. In the 90's, there werent even half-as-many 40-point occurences.


Bottom line:
Jordan getting abused all game long and still scoring 69, with 18 rebounds >>>>>> Kobe getting 81 with these corny handcheck rules.

I didn't understand what you meant when you said "agree to disagree, when in rome."

I see you like to use analogies. How bout this?

One scored point = one dollar. Handchecking = Inflation.

Just like you can buy a gallon of gas for a mere dollar in the 80's/90's, you have to pay about 3 dollars now to buy that same gallon. A dollar today isn't worth as much as a dollar yesterday. Just like a scored point today isn't the same as a scored point years ago. Handchecking makes it harder to score just like inflation makes it harder to buy stuff with that dollar...

so yes, Jordan's 69 dollars hack then is worth more Kobe's 81 now

just wondering .. have any of you guys actually seen MJs 69 point game? because you're all talking out of your asses when saying that he was "getting abused" all night. He was not, he wasn't even guarded harder than Kobe at all.

[xxxSuperStar]

Everyone should turn on espn classic and watch the game.

The question is: HAVE YOU?

I'm not going to lie. I did not witness Jordan's 69 point game. But I did watch A LOT of basketball back then, and I saw how defenders guarded Jordan and other good wing-players. Guys had their hands and forearms all over them. Today, if you even breathed on Kobe the wrong way, they call a foul

[Indian guy]

MJ.

Better overall numbers(18 rebs, 6 assists, 4 stls and 1 blk) against a playoff team.
