ESPN article blasts "has-been" Jordan for Kobe comments

[Extempo]

[QUOTE]You're only 47, MJ. Why are you acting like Uncle Rico from "Napoleon Dynamite?" You saying you could score 100 points in today's NBA is like Uncle Rico reminiscing about his high school football heyday, telling Kip, "Ohhhh, man I wish I could go back in time. I'd take state." No, Uncle Rico, you wouldn't. And, no, Your Greatness, you wouldn't drop 100 even though Joe Dumars handchecking is no longer allowed. It's possible that, in your heyday, you might not have even been able to best Kobe Bryant's 81.

Ah, Kobe. You slipped that old man haterade by us real slick. When asked about Kobe's greatness legacy, MJ mulled over his successor's resume and credentials and came to the conclusion that, "If you are talking about guards, I would say he has got to be in the top 10." Ya think? Just top 10 though, huh? Couldn't narrow that down? There aren't five greater guards than Kobe. MJ knows that, we all know that. That was a Mercury Morris move, MJ. The way things are going, next June, when Kobe is going for his MJ-tying sixth ring, we might see MJ pop up on ESPN spouting anti Kobe raps

Who cares? Terrible article. The author acts as if MJ feels threatened by Kobe or something.

Jordan is the GOAT, he can say whatever he wants about whoever he wants as far as I'm concerned. He's earned it.

Who the hell is Vincent Thomas. Never heard of this hack before.

Comparing Jordan to uncle Rico is like Michaelangelo to your kid's crappy kindergarten finger painting you have in your cubicle.

Any article that makes a reference to Uncle Rico is worth my time.

Biased writer is biased.

That, my friends, is why he's writing on Page 2.(not that ESPN's main writers are much better)

Very revealing if even a Kobe homer (no offense, bro) says that.

Jordan just tries to live up to the media caricature of him with all these comments.

The article was poorly written. I felt like I was reading someones hate blog.

This guy is really mad.

Fail..

Poorly written. Someone could have easily burned MJ for his comments and done it in a much better way.

How do you propose they go about it ?? All MJ has to do is point out his 10 scoring titles to Kobe's 1. ,Also averaged 30PPG throughout his career.. And you guys think he couldn't score 100 points in one game ?

Calm down. Saying he could score 100 points in today's league and saying Kobe is only a top 10 guard are comments that someone could have proved false well the top 10 guard thing. All I meant is someone could have wrote a much better article about MJ's comments being wrong\bad.

Kobe has 2.

I think MJ could have scored 100 in his prime.
