I clearly agree that Jordan is the better player, I was just defending the Kobe side to make the argument a lil less one sided

Guard Jordan with a small, fast, speedy defender ... he'd post, back into the lane 5 feet from the hoop and rain fade aways all night long.
Guard Jordan with a taller, small foward, to prevent post ups ... he'd dribble circles till their knees knocked, and drop 20 footers.
Double Jordan and he'll find the open man.
It's a rare thing to see a shooting guard postup in the NBA now.

im a HUGE fan of the 90s Bulls
in no way can Kobe even be compared to MJ
there are teams out there that even though they got their ass handed to them they still came to watch MJ play
i just dont like the lakers to begin with too much money wasted on too much talent
didn't have to build the team like the late 80s bulls
shaq is still the dominant force Jackson's triangle is model around every night
Jordan was the one who started it all, with pippen being the sidekick
so in a sense Kobe was shaq's sidekick, again not comparing pippen to kobe
back in 98 there was a game when the lakers had shaq& kobe and they blewout the bulls for 25 at the half and MJ lit them up for 49 and came back to win the game by 12
thats a 37 point swing
thats all i neeed to say about whos better
MJ >>>>>>> Kobe no matter how you look at it
if kobe is to be compared he must come up with his own moves, not copy MJ's fade away

btw c_rogue69 Grant was number 54

Charles Barkley's Suns, Karl Malone's Jazz, Clyde Drexler's Trail Blazers, Magic Johnson's Lakers and Shawn Kemp's Sonics, who won 64 games that season, were better than the Los Angeles' recent Finals opponents — Indiana, Philadelphia and New Jersey. Detroit is the first team to give this group of Lakers a serious challenge.
