Top 10 reasons Kobe Bryant is not Michael Jordan
Posted on | June 17, 2008 | 16 Comments
These are the top 10 reasons that Kobe Bryant is not Michael Jordan.
10. Everyone wanted to be like Mike. E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E!
9. Michael Jordan won with help from Pippen, and knew he was better than him. Kobe could not share the spotlight. It is a mental issue with Kobe that will be talked about for decades.
8. No one ever says that Tiger Woods is the Kobe Bryant of Golf, and they never will.
7. Michael Jordan was a failure, but the kind of failure that got back up. Kobe has a long history of sulking, complaining, and pointing the finger at other players.
6. Michael Jordan rose above all of the players on the court. It did not matter if it was the NBA Finals, All Star game, or dunk contest.
5. Just watch this.
4. This is not in Kobe. Kobe is not even talked about as an all time NBA finals clutch player. He is just one of the best players today.
3. We do not need to forget how GREAT Michael Jordan was. Michael Jordan was the reason players went to the West Coast. All the players in the East knew that they were not even going to win the Eastern Conference Championship. No one is saying that about Kobe Bryant. They are not even close to saying that. Sorry for this next vid Ewing fans.
2. There will never be another Michael Jordan.
1. The 1997 Michael Jordan Flu game. Kobe scored 81 in a game, but he has never come close to this. This was EPIC!
I know it seemed like I was being unfair to Kobe. It is unfair to compare anyone to Michael Jordan. People should stop doing it. I know Michael Jordan was not perfect, but his body of work stands head and shoulders above Kobe or any other player today. If you liked this post you will like my Michael Jordan Video Collection.

Yo, Tightman! You just hit the bullseye. Couldn't agree with you more. You da Man!
I just can't stand the pretentious basketball purists who says Kobe is the next MJ or Kobe is better than MJ. Piece of c–p!

Another pointless MJ – Kobe feud. As much as I love MJ, they cannot be compared until they both are retired, even then, differnt eras.

I kind of agree with you. The story is not done yet, but I am almost done with the Kobe book, and it is not even close to MJ's

hey gallday you need to get your facts straight. kobe has his rings because he played as a team not because of shaq only. and shaq isnt good without kobe either so shut up. kobe right now is the best player and i agree they cannot be compared because of their different positions and achievements. kobe is kobe and mj is mj so lets leave it at that. kobe is spectacular and michael is spectacular. there is a similarity that we can all agree on

Couldn’t have said it better. Michael Jordan WAS, IS, and WILL BE the greatest basketball player to ever play the game. Kobe is nowhere near him in any way, shape or form. He is a guy who has studied Jordan and emulated and copied Jordan. He does not have his own game. Jordan admits to taking things from Dr. J, but he took that and created his own style. Just like like Bruce Lee saying he took some of Muhammad Ali’s footwork. Kobe is a great athlete and has much talent, but he will never dominate the sport like Michael Jordan…..NOONE WILL.

Lol. People have nothing better to do but hate on Kobe. So sad. Get a girlfriend man.

finally a smart person.

don’t stress the haters man. awesome site. kobe, as people will see, at least intelligent people will see, cannot and should not be compared to MJ.
if he one day turns out to be the best, sure, we’ll accept it.
but he isn’t. and isn’t close, as true NBA fans, can see. statistics alone. not to mention, the story MJ brings.
MJ. there is no other.

first off kobe is know as Mr. Clutch. he has proven this by hitting over 25 game winners in his career and he has 6 this season alone! And trying to knock him on his 81 point game? he shot over 65%. He played with a broken pinkey finger last year and with a broken middle finger this year. And the NBA is way tougher now then it was when Jordan was playing!
