Phil Jackson"Michael was more likely to break through his attackers with power and strength, while Kobe often tries to finesse his way through mass pileups, Michael was stronger, with bigger shoulders and a sturdier frame.
“No question, Michael was a tougher, more intimidating defender. He could break through virtually any screen and shut down almost any player with his intense, laser-focused style of defense.”
“anyone involved in that meddling to justice”. NO COLLUSION

Kobe was physicaly inferior player to MJ. But don't forget that Bryant PLAYED physical, even dirty sometimes. They were both great competitors, I wouldn't want to guard either of them when they were angry.

They probably were about the same physicality on defense but Jordan was more so offensively
I came here to do two things: get lost and slice **** up & I'm all out of directions.
