Kobe vs. Jordan at age 33

[iamworthy]

Kobe has hit some of the craziest shots I have ever seen. MJ couldnt hit some of the shots that Kobe makes. I remember JA Adande saying that if he had a last second shot that he would have Kobe take it because if he was forced into a bad shot, or the defense gave him absolutely nothing that Kobe had the better chance of making a difficult shot than Jordan. I say all of that to say, MJ plain and simple would never take the shots that Kobe takes and that is where the difference is for me. Kobe is every bit as talented as MJ but MJ just flat out had a better shot selection than Kobe hence the shooting percentages, and just all around more efficient on the offensive end.

Edit: Just looked up how many 3's Kobe and MJ took:

Kobe so far: 4185
MJ: 1778

If Kobe gets to six rings, it'll be an endless debate, but for now (if you're a superstar), you're measured by how much you win, so Jordan is still better IMO.

I'd love to be a homer & say Kobe, but the truth to the matter is Jordan was just smarter & was always willing to do what was best for the situation. That to me is & will always be the difference between those two.

I really hate when people say this, but //thread

MJ by far will be the better player career wise
