But, according to Jackson, there was one difference. MJ was different, everything is a competition with him — playing cards, on the golf course, whatever it may be. What was clear before, and especially after the tragedy, was how much Kobe was appreciated in the basketball community. Players that played against him all agree they never played against a player who was as skilled as Kobe.
Footwork, ball control, inside game, outside game — Kobe had every move and counter-move on the court. Phil agrees with that sentiment and gives Kobe an advantage in this regard. If Kobe had more skill, MJ was the better leader according to Jackson.
Both were hard on their teammates and expected excellence, but Jackson had no doubt in his mind that MJ was much more in control when it came to the atmosphere he would create in the locker room. If you read this far, you should follow us:.
Diffen LLC, n. Anyone who says Kobe is better than Jordan is either a die hard Laker fan whos opinion is obviously biased Everyone brings up the averages per game but they don't remember Kobe came off the bench for his first two years. Kobe was not carried by Shaq and you just lie to yourself by saying that, he won 2 titles without Shaq and how many did Shaq win without Kobe 1 that should say something.
To say mj will destroy kobe prime vs prime is absolutely dumb, kobe in his prime was making great players look silly just like mj but that will be one hell of a game there would have to be multiple grudge matches kobe would win then mj then kobe and mj and so on.
But to say kobe is not on mjs level is ridiculous. Kobe has only 1 better percentage. But look how many times he shot them. Michael will always be considered the best. Kobe Bryant vs. Michael Jordan. Comparison chart Differences — Similarities —.
Follow Share Cite Authors. Comments: Kobe Bryant vs Michael Jordan. Anonymous comments 5 March 13, , pm Anyone who says Kobe is better than Jordan is either a die hard Laker fan whos opinion is obviously biased Why this? Why that? He was learning. Just get me the end result. But when I do ask, you better have the answer. Both men had a relentless drive and work ethic. I need to relax. His relationship with his wife and children aren't the same as Jordan's, and there is hope that his family will stay together after his basketball career is over.
That said, in basketball, this different pathology separates him from the greatness of Michael on the court. The current series against the Celtics in the Finals shows this. Kobe has yet to figure out how to beat the defense that the Celtics are playing against him. MJ never faced a defense that he couldn't figure out.
The difference: the pathological need to win, and the energy and atmosphere that need created for his teammates to succeed. Kobe is great beyond telling, but if he had Jordan's pathology, he would be the greatest basketball player who ever played. Greater than even Jordan himself.
