After these recent Finals you cant say that anymore. I was so disappointed and embarrassed for Kobe in the Finals, what a non-factor he was, in game 6 they lost by 40 fuckin points, can you imagine Michael Jordan ever letting that happen, let alone in the Finals. Paul Pierce dominated Kobe in the Finals, Pierce shitted all over Kobe the whole series, lets talk about who is better between Kobe and Pierce, not MJ and Kobe, dont disrespect MJ like that.

BTW, in the video when he says "I have a better chance at stopping him than him stopping me" is a direct reference to MJ's defensive ability. The stats don't lie.

LMAO@comparing Kobe to Pierce. why must you always be so off? MJ in Kobe's shoes (2nd best player and 2nd best perimeter defender going down mid-season) = no chance he would have even made the Finals..Using the Boston series as a reason to down-talk Kobe's legacy when the team struggled AS A WHOLE is pathetic. Jordan was great, but he didn't win with battered, underachieving squads.

MJ is the g.o.a.t

MJ is the greatest hands down. It's not even close.

Now_Im_Not_Banned · « **Reply #11 on:** August 05, 2008, 08:04:10 PM »

^If it weren't close, the question wouldn't be posed. Old man is trying to protect his legacy. You know he hated when 81 happened, and especially 62 in 3 quarters. The games where MJ scored 60+ points were overtime games and to see Kobe doing it in 3 quarters shook his ego up. Mike is not going to say that Kobe is better than him, he's narcistic. The "not close" argument is null and void until Kobe retires.

when do you remember people arguing that AI and Vince are better than Jordan? do you really think someone would ever ask MJ "who would win between you and Vince Carter?"...LOL
