Wow thats a lot of bullcrap to swallow. They should be fired as analysts. And only homers like you will buy it LOL :rofl:
Eh it's not as ridiculous as you think. I believe both Jalen Rose and Mark Jackson have said that they believe that Kobe Bryant will considered better than Jordan when its all said and done. O yea, both Rose and Jackson played with against both of MJ and Kobe when they were somewhat in their primes so they should have a good idea of what they're talking about and not just spewing about bs.
With that said, I understand why a majority of people consider MJ to be the GOAT. Afterall he was really the only 2-guard to consistently LEAD his team to championships. But with that said, Kobe looks like he has a very good chance to do the same. I personally don't think the comparison is that ridiculous, but maybe i just have my homer glasses on.
and lol at jordansbulls wasting like 2 hours to roll off all those stats. MVP awards have ALOT to do with public opinion and popularity. Jordan played in an era of big men, so naturally he was the most popular. Kobe on the other hand plays in a league dominated by swingmen and besides nash the past couple years, that's where the MVP awards seem to have been going. The MVP award really has more to do with if your team is winning, if you're shooting close to 50%, if you get 10 boards or assists a game, etc. more than skill level, one's overall impact on the game. I believe Mark Stein said that these parameters were necessary and couldn't be judged on how good a player actually is or else Kobe would be winning the MVP award every year.
Anyway, there are my 2 cents. Again, MJ is the GOAT. For now, and i wouldn't be suprised if Kobe takes his place when Kobe retires but hell i wouldn't be suprised if MJ remains the GOAT either.
omfg! Only homers like you make that kind of shot as a basis for kobe being the most talented player in NBA history ever LOL!!!!
