For those of you who like to compare Kobe and Jordan, check it!

How can you compare a guy who has won 6 titles on his own (6x NBA Finals MVP) with a guy who still has to past round-1 of the PO with a team built around him? That's absurd! Shit. Talking about skills, Kobe is as good as Jordan (if not better), but in sports you're nobody if you dont win titles. We will compare Kobe's career to Jordan's career when Kobe will retire, but to do it now is just absurd. I give more credits to LeBron James (i'm not saying he's individually better, cause he's not), cause at least he reached the NBA Finals being 22 and shit. And when he started "the run" 2-3 years ago the Cavs were worse than the Lakers. But y'all please stop comparing those young cats to MJ. It's still too early.

How is it to early?  Jordan played 15 years, Kobe has played 11 years.

If anything it would be absurd to compare Jordan and LeBron's career side by side.

How is it too early? Cause Jordan won 6 rings between the time he was 28 years old to the day he retired. Kobe is 28, and he still has 8-10 years left to play. So it's everything still to be seen. Kobe can still win more rings than Jordan or he can win nothing "alone". It's still everything to be decided. Time will tells if he's better than Jordan or not.

You match up their first 11 years in the league (which makes MUCH more sense)

LMAO! How the fuck does that make ANY sense? Kobe came into the league out of high school, playing off the bench behind Eddie Jones, and he's only been the first option on his team for the past couple seasons! PLEASE MAKE SENSE!

Even so, how have Kobe's first few years as the main option and team leader gone?

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

^Better than Jordan's first few years as the main option and team leader .

Jordan

1st year: Rookie of the year. 3rd best scorer of the NBA, led the Bulls in steals. All-NBA 2nd Team. He reached the P.O. with a wack team who had the 3rd round draft pick the year before.
2nd year: after a long injury, he had an un-human end of the season, and the Bulls reached the P.O. where he scored 63 against the Celtics, impressing Bird (who called him God).
3rd year: he scores 37,1 points per game. Unreal. 1st All-NBA Team. He reached the P.O. loosing to Bird's Celtics.
4th year: Bulls acquire Pippen and Horace Grant. 1st 50+ wins season of his career. They reached the Eastern Conference Semifinals. 1st NBA MVP TITLE.

Kobe

1st year: no Playoffs.
2nd year: great individual year, but 1st round P.O. elimination after they were 3-1 against the Suns.
3rd year: great individual year, but 1st round P.O. elimination against the Suns (again)
4th year: demanded a trade.

Wow...NIK is getting punked from everybody.  I'll bet you $50 he backpedals and finds something wrong with your post to detract from your argument.  Perhaps he'll say how did Jordan average 37,1 ppg?  Shouldn't it be 37.1. LMAO!  PEACE.

Ok smart guy. How is this for sense: Kobe has been in the league 11 years. You're using those 11 years to compare to Jordan at only 6/7 years in the league. So, to MAKE SENSE, any smart man would compare the equal number of years to get a fair and complete comparison. PLEASE MAKE SENSE!!!!!!

Rookie of the Year, Dropping 63 in the Playoffs against Larry Bird AND Becoming MVP ALL before the age of 28 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kobe.

[WC Iz Active]

NIK has a point though.  Kobe didnt get a chance to shine and be a starter right away like Lebron and Michael did,  NIK is definitely right about that.
