Those tend to get over looked when praising jordan.
JORDAND ERA WAS OVERRATED. HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE HISTORIC, BUT HIS COMPETITION WAS VASTLY OVERRATED. In my opinion, if jordan played today, him and kobe would be competeting for top spot and with would be competitive.
JORDANS ERA: 3 top guards in his era averages
ISIAH thomas 19pts 3 rb 9 asst
Reggie Miller 18.2 pts 3rbs 3 ast
Mitch Richmond 21 pts 4rb 4 ast
Clyde drexler 20.7 pts 6rb 5ast
( not as GREAT as people say there are. And jordan winning over them isnt a big deal to me)
Kobes Era
lebron 27 pts 7 rb 7ast
wade 25pts 5 rb 5 ast
pierce 22pts 6rb 4 ast
( much more solid competitors in his era and being better than them is an accomplishment )
I wont compare them until kobe retires. But I will do so objectiviely and wont be like 99% of jordan fans who dismiss anything to make him look better. my point about both is they are the best in the league at there time, but Kobe is playing with better players in the league. Especially when you forget about the memory of "golden Years' and just look objectively.
