Three "next Jordans" in the NBA next year

[Ca$H]

Stopped reading there..

Steve Nash - 2. Shaq - 1. Kobe - 1.

1st next Jordan- Kobe- failed. Not physically gifted enough.

Nice try #1...... Kobe was as physically gifted as any SG and considering the longevity of it i would say he was physical enough to do anything....

2nd next Jordan- LeBron - failed. Lacks intangibles, mental toughness, grit, heart. Too beta; not alpha.

Nice try #2...... so far he has actually done more than Jordan.... by the time he retires it might not be "Next Jordan" we will be saying anymore but "Next Lebron"....

[Ca$H]

Nice try......

Accomplishments doesn't = intangibles, heart, grit, mental toughness.

2011 NBA finals = lack of intangibles, heart, grit, mental toughness.

2012 NBA Finals = wasn't even close due to playing on a stacked team.

2013 NBA Finals = lack of intangibles, heart, grit, mental toughness. Got bailed out in game 6 after 2 missed threes and two turnovers in the final two minutes
(not exactly Jordanesque).

Being the next Jordan = accomplishments + intangibles, heart, grit, mental toughness, alpha male mentality.

this thread is about being the next Jordan. It isn't just about matching/surpassing his accolades. In order to be the next Jordan you need
both. Kobe is a joke athletically compared to Jordan, LeBron, Wiggins. Kobe's talent level is closer to JR Smith. Kobe accomplished way more than he should have due to intangibles, heart, grit, mental toughness, etc.

stupid thread

LeBron stans are derailing this thread by going off topic via listing his accomplishments. Nobody is even mentioning Wiggins.

Kobe never was a "joke" athletically, even compared to those guys. And he's the only player who deserves to be called the new Jordan, because he achieved one of the best careers of all time playing the same style of basketball.

LeBron is essentially a new thing. Instead of becoming the new Jordan, he changed the standards of what the best player in the world is supposed to be (helped, no doubt, by the "statistical revolution", or whatever you want to call it)... LeBron is the kind of player other players in the future are going to be compared to more than he is the kind of player you would compare to someone in the past.

regular season MVP is irrelevant. LeBron has too many debacles in his career to be considered the next Jordan. LeBron is a bigger failure than Kobe because he has the physical gifts to be as good as/better than Jordan. Kobe isn't even close to Jordan/Lebron in terms of physical talent so he never really had a chance to be the next Jordan so he isn't really a failure like Lebron.

Kobe's combine numbers = JR Smith's combine numbers.

Absolutely, i hate comparing him to Jordan... you could compare accolades within the confounds of timelimit/age (Lebron is nowhere close to being done yet afterall) and maybe stats or how they impact/dominate the game... but thats as far as it goes.... they are so different players...... he is more like a Magic/Pippen/Oscar/Penny/Hill mix with even a hint of Malone (body?)...

Kobe is more like Jordan, Jordan was better but yes they are much more similar in every way, same position, size, same mindset (score first)... gamestyle... everything... and Kobe has let it been known all the time that he indeed emulated Jordan & his moves....
