re: I dont even think MJ could stop LeBron..

When Kobe is batman and not robin for a team that wins at least 3 straight championships we can begin to talk about how he is somewhat close to Jordan's league. Kobe isn't even close and is actually not that much better if at all than several other superstars in the current league.

The reason Lebron is considered possibly on the verge of greatness is he is a superstar that can play at least 4 positions.

NO NO NO

Kobe is the closest to MJ in terms of basketball style of play and competitiveness

That being said Kobe is no MJ. MJ is still the one

Lebron cannot compare to Kobe or MJ because he's 3 1/2 inches taller, 50 lbs more weight. No one will be like Lebron. But don't say Lebron is in his own world. He is not even close to the level Michael Jordan was on. I think both Kobe and MJ have a higher talent level and mental level than Lebron in playing the game. Lebron is just so much superior in physical ability and it helps him dominate the game. Lebron doesn't have the array of shot making ability and fluidity dribbling the basketball the MJ and Kobe had

Not trashing Lebron. I just thing his domination is mainly due to his god given physical ability. I do not think his is more talented as a basketball player than Kobe or MJ

MJ would put up ridiculous numbers if he played against defenses now. The Bad Boys of Detroit he had to face would be suspended for the way they basically took out anyone who came in the lane. The guys in the league now can't even be hand checked.

Could be. I think players today are faster and can stay in front of offensive players better. I think the bad boys had to be more physical because they weren't that gifted athletically as compared to players today

kobe's shot selection has always been one of the biggest things holding him back from being able to reach a jordan like level of dominance

I agree with that. Kobe has the ability to dominate like Jordan. He's done it before. The game that he reminded me of Jordan was a couple of years ago versus the Hornets in the arena. He would catch the ball and the free throw line corner post up and hit the turn around jumper. He just doesn't post up any more unless its in crunch time.

MJ was the greatest ever!

yea these guys are head and shoulders better than the rest of the leauge, they still couldnt stop MJ. He would drain shite in their face all day.

you're out of your fricking mind with that shite. No way LeBron keeps up with MJ in that situation.

MJ and Kobe are on the same level.

NO THE frick THEY ARE NOT!!!!

Kobe is an unlikeable, whining, pansy arse little fig who gets the benefit of EVERY frickING CALL.

Comparing him to MJ is blasphemy

I started watching NBA when Bird and Magic were the main men. I viewed the growth of Jordan and the greatness that was. I feel Kobe is about as equal to Jordan as there is.

Labron James is in a different world. Michael Jordan is no Labron James. This kid is so amazing to watch. Ive become a Cavs fan bc of James.
