This. There's an obvious gap, but that's like taking it waaaaaaaaaay too far.

[riseagainst]

lol, not short changing Kobe. Kobe at his best is 10 times better than MJ at his worst, i can agree with this one.

[MastaKilla]

Kobe from 06-10 was better than 2nd 3peat Jordan

[ZeN]

MJ could not guard peak, premangled fingers, scored 81 Kobe.

Kobe could however D up MJ during his peak defensive year, not just because he emulated all of MJs moves.

Kobe from 06-10 was better than 2nd 3peat Jordan

No he wasn't.

[Imtheman]

No he wasn't.

Yes he was

[outbreak]

Kobe from 06-10 was better than wizards Jordan

Fixed for accuracy

[JohnMax]

Peak Kobe shot around 40 percent against Boston and Orlando

I don't think he meant Jordan at the worst point of his career against Kobe at his best point - that would be silly. You have to consider the question he was answering, which was "who was tougher to guard?" In that context, I assume Reggie meant that a PRIME Jordan on his worst day was a TOUGHER COVER than PRIME Kobe on his best day in terms of how difficult they were to defend and how many ways they could beat you.

Please. Lesser players have dropped buckets on Kobe at different times ( tmac, wade, vince, hell Arenas dropped 60 on him FFS), yet he's going to stop MJ? MJ and Kobe at their best are indefensible, thats why they're the two GOAT shooting guards.

Yea I agree with all that. I'm just saying Kobe is sociopathic when it specifically comes to MJ.

except during these periods you specify, jordan took worse talent to far superior success against better teams.
