Title: MJ - "Kobe is the greatest player since me" + talks down LeBron's game...
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on July 30, 2009, 12:01:34 PM
Jordan talked to Charlotte radio station: http://www.wfnz.com/Primetime-with-Packman/136218

first, he pointed out some of LBJ's weaknesses, saying how LeBron has no jumper and might only last 5-6 more years, considering he relies too much on power and steamrolling through the opposition....then he follows it by saying "that is why Kobe Bryant is the greatest player since me... he is still is the best overall player right now"

Too bad Kobe is on Nike. Think about how sick a commercial would be with Kobe and Mike goin one on one n like adding clips from them back in the day n shit. Would be a sick concept.

What a fag. I never like it when guys toot their own horn like that. It shows low class. The true greats should be so confident in themselves that they should never even have to mention that they're even good at all. Especially in retirement. If he wants to say Kobe is the best right now fine, but bringing yourself in the equation is schoolyard shit.

is it even debatable who's the better player out of kobe and lebron right now? kobe dosent have to prove anything to anyone anymore, he slapped all the haters in the face with what he did in the finals just gone. success breeds envy and kobe certainley has a lot of envy from people so whats that tell ya? haha

i dont get how people dont appreciate what kobe has brought to the game, just like all the greats he will be missed when his gone and then we'l all embrace what lebron does, thats how the game moves on and improves, it dosent move on by being a hater.

If you want to read my post again (will be pretty easy since its quoted right here), it says "Kobe dickriders".  Is that you?  You making a blind assumption is not my fault.

Not to mention, if anyone makes an opinion against the Lakers that you have a problem with or think is ridiculous you have no problem arguing it. When NIK makes some ridiculous argument for the Lakers...youre nowhere to be found. Leading any reasonable person to believe you agree with the bullshit he says lol

I've always felt that the real best don't need to ever say anything about how great they were. I never heard Jim Brown say it. Or Gretzky. They usually just saying nothing. They can say it about other new players after they retire, like when Sampras called Federer the best ever. Sampras didn't say this guy is the best since me. He said he's the best.

I'm not denying whether Jordan was correct in what he said, though I've often wondered if he had played the bulk of his career in the 80s instead of the 90s how many rings and MVPs he'd have. Does anyone really think that those Bulls teams with Magic or Larry instead of Jordan would have lost to the Suns, or Jazz, or Knicks on the way up. Shit, they were one game away from the finals with no Jordan at all.

But that's beside the point. The issue here isn't greatness. It's class. A great player that needs to toot his own horn is either self consience or just plain classless. Ok we get it, you're the king. Why rub it in?

When a reporter once came to Elvis and asked what the King of Rock and Roll thought about something Elvis said Fats Domino is over there, and then went on to praise him. That's class.

It's an Afro-American thing Shallow. Of course Sampras wouldn't say it like Jordan, cause Sampras isn't black and tennis isn't a black sport around urban culture.

But in the niche or rap, it is common to put yourself up like that. Didn't you hear how Kanye said that he's the New King of Pop, cause MJ is dead now? That's just how rich Afro-Americans are.

Because I didn't know. I'm not the big Jordan fan you think I am. The argument we had was over his star power as it compares to other athletes. I was never a fan as a kid. When Larry retired, Pat Ewing was my guy. Jordan was just the fag standing in the way.

No.  But you cant pretend that you are simply arguing against ridiculous points when you only argue on the favor of one side.  If somebody says LeBron> Kobe...a lot of you will be quick to jump all over that as being ridiculous. But if NIK comes in and says Pau> Duncan...no argument. lol.  If you argue every single anti Laker post, but never argue any pro Laker post...its natural to assume you agree with the pro Laker posts...ridiculous or not.

I've never argued with anyone whose said that LeBron>Kobe. Maybe 2 years ago, but not since. The closet I've come to was comparing them when they played each other. If people feel that way fine. I just don't want to get into another endless debate about the 2.

And if it makes you feel better
Tim Duncan>Pau Gasol every year they've both been in the league.
But Timmy has 4 years on Gasol, so it won't be long before Gasol leapfrogs him.

i dont make ridiculous comments...everything i say holds weight. i dare anyone to challenge me on something i've said that they deem "ridiculous". even as far as me saying pau is currently better than duncan... of course, careerwise, it's duncan all the way...but all i said was that pau had a better season LAST YEAR. that is far from "ridiculous", considering pau had better stats as a 2nd option...i'm a die hard laker fan, daygo, and you saying otherwise is more laughable than your claims that pau would be the 5th best player on the spurs lol...PeACe
