Rate Kobe Bryant's dream of being Michael Jordan

[Sam Odom]

Kobe wanted to be MJ or even more... Nothing wrong wiff that


Scale: 11 = Better than MJ , 10 = same as MJ sliding down to 1 = Nothing like MJ


Sammy says... 8

[brainfreeze0]

Kobe wishes ..... 1

[Sam Odom]

Come-on freeze

[broadway6]

5 rings don't hurt, but he's no MJ. 7

[Chi_archie]

yeah I mean if you want to rate him among with EVERY boy that ever had a dream of being Michael Jordan I think Kobe prob would get the highest score or getting the most close right?

I mean only 1 out of 100k make it that far.

he will join the HOF ranks with Michael and a few hundred others.

of Which he is better than 90%

well done Kobe!

reach for the stars you might hit the moon and multi-millions!

[jtoler]

Lotta ways to look at it, rings, swag, similarity in playing style, competitiveness, if you put everything together basketball wise, IMO Id give him about a 7 as being similar.

[King Mayan]

Better than MJ

I rate MJ a 8 to Kobe.

[Sam Odom]

Better than MJ

I rate MJ a 8 to Kobe.

Kobe's old lady is Mex... that's why

[vyomguy]

Old news

Dress and talk like mj

[byronbb]

Kobe can never be on the same level because he's such a huge jerk.

[Sam Odom]

Old news

Not really... took this season for most Kobe-lovers to admit he is done

[shady610]

Kobe passed him. Before his injuries he was playing at a much higher level than mj at this point in his career.

At this point in mj career he was backing up rip hamilton.

Longevity means a ton to me when it comes to all time greats. Which is why I also value Robertson's and jabaar careers so much.

[King Mayan]

Kobe's old lady is Mex... that's why

she ain't mex...

[I/O]

Koby couldn't carry MJ's jock. On the court, historically, or currently...financially. Jordan hasn't played in years and he wouldn't get out of bed for what Koby has in his bank account. Also, when it comes to handling the marriage, and the side action, Jordan has forgotten more than Koby will ever know. Always go with the original, not the wannabee, not the sheep.

[tony_come]

Kobe should be himself not be like mike

[Seto]

Why aren't Ratzz/Menses in this thread yet?

kobe won 2 rings without shaq..... jordan won zip without pippen.

Nether won without Phil Jackson.

or without Tex Winter

kobe won 2 rings without shaq..... jordan won zip without pippen.

kobe had gasol in his prime for those 2 rings.

without gasol, they wouldn't have won shit.

lakers were 14 games over .500 when they got gasoft. kobe didnt need him to win a ring. gasoft actually cost kobe another ring the way he got manhandled by kg in the first finals.

gasofts 18ppg during his prime is nothing to write home about. not to mention his 0-12 post season record w/o kobe.

he is nowhere in the same stratosphere with shaq and pippen.

[Menses]

Kobe has no business being mentioned in the same breath as Jordan....the comparisons the media created based on hype. His footwork and mannerism were stolen from Jordan. The media grafted Kobe's head onto Jordan's shoulders because they needed a replacement after the lockout. Then they used Jordan's name to sell Kobe Bryant's game which could not match up with Michael's....

Lebron and now Durant will show the world why Kobe was so overrated...Lebron has surpassed Kobe, and Durant will eventually...

[brainfreeze0]

gasofts 18ppg during his prime is nothing to write home about.

You do realize Pippen had 18.6 ppg in his prime which makes it laughable you compared the duo of shaq and kobe/ MJ and Pippen when Shaq was avging almost 30 ppg in his prime. Avging 27 in his glory days with Kobe. Nice try.

prime is considered mid-20s to early 30s. so looking at pippen from 26-32... he avg 20.2 ppg. shaq from 26-32 avg 22.9ppg. so their numbers aren't as far off as you claim.

pippen was named to nba all-defensive 1st team for 8 times. shaq? not once. both of course named as top 50 greatest of all time.

I was reading a thread the other day about Kobe had retired. There were some tears shed and condolences handed out. But the reports proved to be premature, as it is now understood Kobe will keep making basket shots beyond this season. Whew! Am I right? It was a pretty neat little thread though, you should all check it out.

he will play 2 more years….just signed a new extension.

[ChalkyDog]

5 stars, 10 out of 10, 100%.

On Sammies scale a 9.

Nobody will be Mike, but Kobe got as close as anyone. A MJ clone. In that regard he succeeded in his dream.

[The Giant]

Jordan is 6-0 in the finals, with six MVPs.

I would say that alone separates him.

If Jordan is a 10, I'd say Kobe is a 9.5.

[El Sol]

you simply can not compare the two.

Different eras, different players, different referees, different offenses, different defenses.

The only thing fair is to compare a player to his contemporary counterpart. Maybe you can do a LeBraon / Kobe comparison, but even then its not really fair because of the age difference.

Kobe against Shaq would be the best option maybe

kobe was fine

MJ is going to hell.. Kobe might too but he has a better chance to not go...

[jjgold]

Kobe was never a Michael Jordan we all know that

Jordan was way better

Jordan did way more on his own. To win titles
