96-98 Jordan vs 08-10 Kobe

[Warriors fan]

TPOLS claims that MJ would have had no chance to replace Kobe from 08 to 10 and make 3 straight finals. He claims at most he makes 2 finals and wins 1 title.

Agree or disagree?

Also, does 98 Jordan get swept by the Mavs replacing Kobe this year?

96-98 Jordan is as good as Prime Kobe.

96- 30\7\4 50%
97- 30\6\4 48.5%
98- 29\6\4 47%

wtf??

Kobe in his absolute prime ('05-'09) is like 70%-75% of 95-98 MJ at his best.

Many kobe'tards think '05-'08 Kobe = '95-'98 MJ which is a lie.

the above % is based on "efficiency" & not on some garbage overrated catagory like skillset, ball handling skills crap that kobe'tards ejaculate to.

keeping this in mind........

'08-'10 Kobe is like 65%-70% of '95-'98 MJ.

Kobe'tards need to remember why NBA MVP Kobe Lost NBA Finals to Celtics despite being clear favorites.

&

Kobe'tards need to also remember 1998 Jazz was favorite to beat old, tired & aging Bulls in 6 games. 1998 pacers also did the number on Bulls in brutal 7 game series. Plus, Pippen injury in 1998 NBA finals didnt help. Plus the fact that Bulls are weak at Big Man position.

1998 Championship over clear favorites Jazz is won because MJ just refused to Loose.

Lol @ jordan stans thinkin Kobe at his PEAK was only 70% as good as old mike

06-10 Kobe>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PEAK cheese eyes

[gengiskhan]

95-98 Jordan is clearly BETTER than Prime Kobe.

now its corrected.

MJ didnt just record 2 reg sea mvps, 3 finals mvps & 3 scoring titles in 3 full years because he was as good as prime Kobe.

Kobe has taken 15 NBA seasons to record 1 MVP & 2 Finals MVPs & 2 scoring titles in Weak Era.

1995-1998 MJ exceeded Kobe in just 3 years in much physically tough era with higher skill level.

[magnax1]

They're really close. Close enough that it's pretty tough to seperate who was better.

Jordan did have the best team ever in 96, and 97, especially if you're going off defensive talent, so it's not really the same. They both are really really really close in playoff production, but I do think Jordan was a better defender, and Kobe a bit better at running the Lakers offense, and a bit more efficient. If I absolutely had to choose one, it'd probably be Jordan, but if you traded the two, you might no win any more or less games, especially since their games were extremely similar, except for Jordan getting inside more and Kobe relying more on his jumper.

excuses is all you get from Kobe fans. Nobody told Kobe not to win scoring title year after year after year once Shaq Left. Kobe should've had 6 scoring titles being a shot jocker that he is. But only 2 scoring titles is what he got.

I do think Jordan was a better defender, and Kobe a bit better at running the Lakers offense, and a bit more efficient.

Is this some joke. Kobe is more efficient. kobe runs the laker offense better. Kobe seriously LACKS efficiency & its the reason why Lakers lost to Pistons in '04 & '08 despite being favorites. Kobe has NO court vision, Low Bball IQ. Kobe will never be MJ, Bird or Magic. He can make tough shots once every 10 games.

96-98 MJ clearly mastered the game & reinvented it. Kobe in his absolute prime peak is 75% of MJ at very best. Kobe lacks mastery like MJ mastered the inside & outside game. Magic mastered PG position. Bird mastered playing without ball in his hand.

Hence MJs efficiency was clearly superior to kobe's inefficiency. shot jocking, ball hogging is different thing. Both MJ & Kobe did that at some point in their career.

Kobe just lacks mastery because of low Bball IQ. Kobe still cannot play without the ball. Kobe is a weak playmaker even compared to LBJ let alone MJ.

95-96 Jordan is better than ANY version of Kobe.

[game3524]

2007-08 Kobe is better then 96-98 Jordan.....of course 87-93 MJ blows any version of Bryant out the building.

[gengiskhan]

95-96 Jordan is better than ANY version of Kobe.

This.

One thing Kobe'tards will never admit.

Kobe seriously LACKS the ultimate mastery of the Game. Kobe can copy some of MJ but that just dont mean he can be that great without ultimate mastery of inside game & outside game & triangle offense.

Magic competely Mastered the Art of PG position & expanded it.

Bird was ultimate Master as positioning himself on the court & play without Bball in his hand.

Kobe is a cheaper immitator at best.

[gengiskhan]

2007-08 Kobe is better then 96-98 Jordan.....of course 87-93 MJ blows any version of Bryant out the building.

Yet, '08 Kobe FAILED to win Finals MVP & Pierce whoopped his ass.
Yet, '08 Kobe FAILED to win scoring titles.

1996 MJ swept NBA MVP that year.
1998 MJ swept NBA MVP again.
& 3 more scoring titles.
