the other day i convinced a Jordan fan that Kobe was better

[kennethgriffin]

Phil Jackson said "flip a coin" between who he would pick between MJ and Kobe.

Then proceeded to say Bill Russell is his number one pick all-time.

So is that the answer you'd want him to explain to OP?

Man...he's been asked about comparing the two of them a thousand times. You can pick one where he says flip a coin...then you could pick the many others where he says Jordan is better. Have you read his autobiography?

Also, what the hell? You know OP is full of shit too can't you just let us enjoy ourselves?

[Young X]

oh i get it... so i guess hakeems rockets didnt really win the 1994 or 1995 title

cause jordan didnt face them


and jordans titles dont count either. he never beat hakeem


sorry man but its about plausibility. if a superstar mega powerhouse is in the nba... hes another risk. another mvp vote getter costing you trophies. another guy other players wanna team up with. another guy taking viewers/sponsorship/media away from your brand. another guy costing you scoring titles. another guy that COULD be against you in the finals.

nothing can be taken away if they never meet up.

thats just a necessary risk that you have to be conscious about and worry about. causing more stress/pressure to succeed and be the best of your era

jordan never had these problems


and yes.. its sad that i had to use a center as an example.. thats the closest thing to a rival jordan ever had

a guy he never faced who was 7 feet tall and would never even match up with him

You're the one talking about star wing players. I'm just asking you to name the ones Kobe faced in the playoffs. Simple.

You're the one who said Jordan beat a "washed up Magic". OK, so who did Kobe beat? "washed up Magic" >>> whoever Kobe beat in the playoffs.

Giving Kenneth more more ammo to keep his thread going is all part of the fun

To a retard customer in the McDonald's drive thru, trying to appease you to get his Big Mac quicker? Congrats on the life accomplishment Kenny.

Damn, son.

You son of a bitch

So to summarize...

Steph Curry wins MVP and leads his team to a championship. LeBron James leads his team to a 5th straight finals berth. Russell Westbrook beats James Harden for the scoring title. Kobe Bryant shoots 37% on a lottery team.

Therefore, Kobe Bryant>Michael Jordan.

That look right, Kenny?

His words in his book where he has way more time to think and outline his views and better present in a respectable way holds way more weight then when he's caught off guard in an interview and has to make sure he doesn't come across as putting one guy down. I mean, it's pretty obvious who he thinks is better. The book pretty much laid it to rest.

[I<3NBA]

the other day, i convinced a Kobe fan that the earth is the center of the solar system.

shit was easy.

[Bankaii]

its funny because if steph curry never existed. kobe never has that achilles injury.

it came in a game against the warriors. and the lakers dont need kobe to push himself nearly as much vs a warriors team minus curry

that injury alone cost kobe a possible 6th title and the all time scoring record

What's even more funny if that the Lakers still won that game without Kobe.

Yes, it is obvious.

He has nothing but respect and love for Kobe (as should everyone)...but in the book he speaks of MJ as God and Kobe like Moses. It's pretty clear who he thinks was greater.

You're right, obviously in an interview he isn't gonna say that Kobe doesn't have what it takes to match him (even tho he gets awfully close to that like...a lot). He's a good guy and likes to stay away from drama. I mean...he's the zen master.

But yea...Phil knows what's up. As do most.
