^^^thing is man, Im a Spurs fan...so obviusly a Duncan fan.  Im secure enough in the fact that he's gonna be a hall of famer, and will finish out his career as the top power forward of all time.  If some want to say Karl Malone is top forward (or even if most did), so be it. He'll finish out his career as one of the best players of all time period, and one of the winningest players of all time.  Because of that, I dont feel the need to post up thread after thread about how great he is. A great players greatness speaks for itself, it doesnt need to be faught for.  Dont get me wrong, Kobe is a great player. An obvious future hall of famer, and one of the greatest players of all time. I just dont understand the insecurity of some of his fans...wierd..

I think they are different, until Kobe's done it's MJ>Kobe. After Kobe's career is done I'll make a judgment, but until then MJ is still the GOAT.

was a good video, i have never claimed that kobe was better than jordan or anything but no one can deny that the league has changed and the level of talent has risen to new levels since his era. Who ever you want to argure is the best it dont matter, they are both great players.

I agree that Jordan never played against zone defence but at the same time I feel teams played much better team defense in the Jordan era than they do now.  Teams like the Pistons and Knicks (during the Jordan era) played much better defense than any teams do nowadays IMO.

definetely, the league has done alot over the years to help offenses. Not just the NBA, NFL too. Fans like scoring, so the leagues are naturally going to create a league full of scoring.

the purpose of this video should not be the comparaison between M.J and Kobe , once again Kobe have not accomplished what Jordan has and is nowhere as effecient as MJ was .... it just shows how great (even if they get away with a lot of stuff) Boston D on Kobe was and why (though he should have done a lot better) his poor numbers in these Finals were not just the result of him totally choking ...

I don't give a fuck what's your opinion about MJ vs KB, but this video is one of the most interesting ones i've ever seen posted here. Props.

Boston's D has nothing on the old Bad Boy Piston defense.
