  • diggNoah, on 06/18/2008, -26/+196Gotta bury this - game 6 last night took care of this debate. Kobe's no Michael Jordan. MJ would have stepped up and been taken to the next level by the Celtics, Kobe folded and quit (along with the rest of the Lakers). The Cs and P^2/KG in game 4 showed LA you never give up...game 6 LA folded like Jack Nicholsoln's court side seat.
  • RaysinX, on 06/19/2008, -4/+161jordan- 5 MVPs 6 Finals MVP's

    kobe- 1 MVP 0 Finals MVP's

    it's not even close
  • NightcrawlerX, on 06/18/2008, -6/+157Good job to choose the similar moves, impressive video.
    I understand that there is this question: Kobe Bryant > Michael Jordan?
    Although Kobe is an awesome player, I don't feel that he shows the same leadership that Michael had throughout his career.
  • rkintigh, on 06/19/2008, -19/+147Michael has 3 more championships than Kobe.
    Kobe has raped more girls than Michael.
  • arkboysooner, on 06/19/2008, -3/+88Record in the NBA Finals...

    Michael: 6-0
    Kobe: 3-2

    The only people who say Kobe might be better than Jordan are the ones that are too young to remember Michael. He's the greatest that ever was. No one has even come close.
  • huntdizzle, on 06/19/2008, -5/+85Micheal never lost an NBA Finals game by 39 points.
  • shai969, on 06/19/2008, -9/+87The difference is that MJ is liked and respected, Kobe isn't.
  • bigdaddyguido, on 06/19/2008, -7/+71Kobe Bryant has done an excellent job of modeling his physical game on the court after Michael Jordan, this video shows this well. However, to claim Kobe is comparable to Jordan as a complete player is ridiculous. He clearly can gives up in situations (in bad games or bad seasons), whereas Jordan never gives up, ever, period. Kobe plays unbelievably good defense, sometimes, when he's not working too hard on offensive. Jordan actually won a defensive player of the year award, as a guard, in the same season he scored over 32 points a game.
    Jordan would fly off the handle on people who didn't work harder than you can imagine, but he was a great leader for people who did work that hard. Kobe is too much of a prima donna concerned with his image and not with sheer dominance on the basketball court.
  • ndheav, on 06/19/2008, -4/+61MJ will always reign supreme..NO COMPARISON.
  • machocheese34, on 06/19/2008, -10/+60I doubt Kobe is ever going to have Micheal's godly image
  • scottperezfox, on 06/19/2008, -3/+48No one ever says "I want to be like Kobe"
  • mr_ziy, on 01/15/2009, -3/+43Whenever I watched MJ on the TV it had a completely different feel and experience compared to...Uh...I dunno...Today!
  • wesleyzero, on 06/19/2008, -4/+44Kobe never saved the Looney Tunes from certain doom.
  • lrhunt, on 06/19/2008, -6/+45Kobe's an Arrogant Prick, Jordan let his skills talk for him...
  • rocketman42, on 06/19/2008, -2/+41Where's the video of Jordan wilting in the finals? Oh right, that was just Kobe. I think the 'Is Kobe the next Michael?' talk should finally be put to rest now.
  • fokov, on 06/19/2008, -1/+38That and everything Kobe does was revolutionized by the way Jordon played the game. Jordon also made everyone around him better, and forced the guys to play the best every night. That's why he is the greatest player.
  • n0t0kayipr0mis3, on 06/19/2008, -10/+46Kobe got his moves, his finesse and his style from Jordan, so have so many others in the NBA
    Micheal Jordan is the greatest player ever so far, Kobe is a great player but he isn't close enough to being compared with MJ like diggNoah said, Jordan would have stepped up against the celtics,
    This video prooves nothing, you can do this with so many players,
  • Boshow, on 06/18/2008, -8/+43I agree, no more comparisons. Kobe might have the skills, but not the heart. Jordan would have given everything he had before he lost. Kobe mailed most of the second half.
  • bigdawg, on 06/18/2008, -1/+35Awesome video, pretty cool to see the similar moves on each shot. That had to be time consuming.
  • Darian6, on 06/19/2008, -6/+38Thats crazy, but Jordan is a legend, Kobe isn't.
  • topgun553, on 06/19/2008, -1/+32Leadership Aside:

    The one thing about Jordan is that there was never a time when he could be shut down. I mean you think Kobe or any other of the new young stars have targets on their backs when they play, but Jordan was known as the greatest ever when he played. No matter what the situation or how teams tried, Jordan could not be denied. Watching Kobe get shut down completely and then just try to force plays was a pathetic excuse for anyone trying to mentioned in the same light as MJ.
  • Jenadae, on 06/19/2008, -2/+32I think Kobe has more experience in that field
  • mlbwebdesign, on 06/19/2008, -2/+32There has never been a more appropriate time for ascii art.
  • NightOwl4, on 06/19/2008, -7/+37I CANT STAND PEOPLE COMPARING KOBE BRYANT TO MICHAEL JORDAN....ITS RIDICULOUS! THERE WILL NEVER, EVER BE ANOTHER MICHAEL!
  • duke1981, on 06/19/2008, -8/+36Kareem Abdul Jabbar is the best he kicked Bruce Lee in the chest.
  • inactive, on 06/19/2008, -8/+35They're both great players. Nice video :D
  • ironyCurtain, on 06/19/2008, -3/+3010 years apart? Kobe was wearing at least 3 different jerseys in that mashup.
    Kobe is pretty good, but he's no Jordan.
  • magicjohnson, on 06/18/2008, -7/+34If being in the league for 12 years and being the unquestioned star/leader on your team for the last 4 isn't enough experience to become a great leader, idk what is. Kobe's a great player and at times displays great leadership qualities, but MJ was always the guy who everyone looked up to. Its just not close leadership-wise.
  • blackinthmiddle, on 06/19/2008, -0/+26Let's compare

    Michael:
    10 scoring titles (including 7 in a row)
    6 titles
    6 finals mvps
    5 regular season mvps (should have been 8)
    rookie of the year
    2 olympic gold
    defensive player of the year (AS A 2 GUARD!)
    1 steals title
    30.1ppg (on .497 fg%)
    6.2rpg
    5.3apg
    2.3 steals
    0.8 blocks

    Kobe:
    1 scoring title
    3 titles
    0 finals mvps
    1 regular season mvp
    25.0ppg (on .453 fg%)
    5.3rpg
    4.6apg
    1.5 steals
    0.6 bpg

    So Jordan scored more points (with a better shooting percentage), more rebounds, more assists, more blocks, more steals, more mvps, finals mvps, won ROY and won Olympic gold...TWICE! We won't even mention his college championship. A lot of years, Jordan had more blocks than a lot of centers!!!

    Now, let's get away from the numbers and talk about intangibles. When his team needed him most, he delivered. I don't care if it was a practice squad. NO Jordan team's giving up a 20+ point lead in the 3rd quarter! Great, Kobe can score 81 against Toronto in December. You're telling me that in a close out game, Kobe scores 22 points on 7-22 shooting? What happened two years ago (the year he scored 81 points) against the Suns? Game seven, your team is down by 15 at half time to a team that plays ZERO defense. Kobe takes a grand total of *3* shots? From a mental toughness standpoint, from a dependability standpoint, you clearly don't remember when Jordan played if you think Kobe's better.

    Listen, Kobe's great. No one can take that from him. But this video doesn't prove anything. Ever see Dominique play? I guarantee you I can find a similar array of moves from him. What about Vince Carter? Ever see him jump *over* 7'2" Weiss? There are a lot of guys with freakish physical gifts. There's more to being the best then just matching Jordan in a game of H.O.R.S.E, so to speak.
  • malonie, on 06/19/2008, -8/+33So where do they differ?
    Mike = charismatic
    Kobe = Jackass
  • diskopo, on 06/19/2008, -3/+27That you know of.
  • SoopaflySAM, on 06/19/2008, -7/+30Those who endure, conquer.

    Gatorade.
  • smthop3, on 06/19/2008, -2/+24Well, it was THE most important game he played the whole season.
  • vanguardanon, on 06/19/2008, -4/+26MJ could rape Kobe.
  • baylat, on 06/19/2008, -3/+24♫ I believe I can fly ♫
  • brettmurf, on 06/19/2008, -0/+20You got it wrong.

    Pippen had MJ.
  • newsfully, on 06/19/2008, -0/+19you're right because there were only eight teams in the league when he did that.
  • piratearggghhh, on 06/19/2008, -3/+22Shaq- 1 ring without Kobe.
    Pippen- 0 rings without MJ
  • inactive, on 06/19/2008, -2/+21MJ never lost an NBA finals.
  • inactive, on 06/19/2008, -13/+32You know he's not because he went home without a ring last night.
  • wesleyzero, on 06/19/2008, -1/+19Odom and Gasol aren't exactly slags. Both have been All-Stars and Olympians. To say Jordan had it easier because he had Pippen is ridiculous. Kobe has a strong supporting cast as well.
  • john2kx, on 06/19/2008, -0/+18compared to Jordan's teammates, yes.
  • rolosworld, on 06/19/2008, -0/+17"There's Michael Jordan and then there is the rest of us."
    —Magic Johnson
  • chaos7, on 06/19/2008, -4/+21i think jordan blows away kobe
  • horizonsonfire, on 06/19/2008, -4/+21True, but there are games in a player's career that are evocative of the whole thing. Take Jordan' s flu game. This finals game may end up being a defining piece of Kobe's legacy.
  • glxyjones, on 06/19/2008, -2/+19The difference between Kobe and MJ?

    Easy... Michael doesn't LET his team lose in the NBA Finals.

    Bottom line, put MJ (even after his prime) on the Lakers this year instead of Kobe, and their celebrating a championship.
  • sup4141, on 06/19/2008, -8/+24Kobe- 0 rings without Shaq
  • piratearggghhh, on 06/19/2008, -2/+18They did give him a team like that - Shaq, Karl Malone, GP, remember? The difference is Kobe pissed everyone off and destroyed the team instead of making everyone better.
