An unnecessarily long Kobe video and a shorter but still excessive post.

Jordan was clearly considered better than Magic by 1989

Is that why Magic won back2back MVPs in '89 and '90?

Keep telling yourself that Jordan wasn't considered better than Magic by at least 85% of people by 1989.

So I guess Steve Nash was a better than Kobe from 2004 - 2006

why did Magic win back2back MVPs then?

You remember he averaged 23/8/13 on 50/90 shooting in '89, do you?

also, a big lol at the guy above me comparing Magic to Nash

How old are you Loki? Most fans I knew at this time referred to Jordan as a domininant individual player, but also a stat stuffer who couldn't lead a team to a championship, while Magic was considered the ultimate winner, and still capable of dominating most facets of the game.

**dynasty1978** · 08-20-2009, 08:04 PM

and only a lunatic MJ fan would cite 85%....are you Brian Fantana? 65% of the time, it works every time.

I dont know about 85%. Jordan didnt get that "The best....period" status for a little while longer. In 89? I think magic would have had more behind him than 15%. People were calling MJ the GOAT in like 89 but Magic and Bird still had people saying they were the best because they could win.

Congrats, first time ever giving props to Kobe even though you'll jump off the bandwagon soon.

Team has it all. And they are young. No reason they shouldnt win a title. Or two.

And if it happens Kobe haters beware. Kobe with 5 rings and 7 finals? you know what will happen. A few people were saying he was as good as Jordan when I first got here(01-02 season). I will leave it at that.

Ok...

5 and 7 finals. Im gonna give it a few days to sink in....

On one hand...hes John Havlicek. On the other....hes Magic Johnson.
