Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant Connection?

Question

Do you think that Jordan, playing in the 80's during the Magic/Bird era is sort of like Kobe playing in this era. Both players are mad talented, but their teams are just not good enough. Remember, im talking about mid eighties Jordan jockers. Before his leading cast came along...

Answer 1

Kobe is a born loser.  Bird/Magic/Jordan MADE their supporting players rise to another level with their talent.  

Kobe has no idea how to do this.  he is a poor passer as the Celtics Defense made painfully clear in the finals.  And he isn't good enough to take a game into his own hands against an elite team.

I don't think Kobe will make it to the Finals again in his career which is sad.  Laker will be out in the first round in 2009.

Answer 2

No! Jordan and Kobe are not the same! Kobe is good. But Jordan is a legend and allstar pro.

Answer 3

Jordan is Jordan.  Kobe is no Jordan.

Jordan = 6 Final MVP

Kobe = 0 Final MVP

Quite comparing Kobe to Jordan because Kobe is nothing like Jordan.

Only similarities they have is that they both have mouth, ears, teeth, 5 fingers on each hand and both of their blood are red.

Answer 4

MJ is better than Kobe.

Answer 5

Well, ur words didn't make a lot sense here. First I heard most of the laker fans said that they have the most talent squad in the league. And that's not good enough. Do you want Lebron to be the SF, CP3 to be the PG, and Dwight Howard being the C?

Edit: So do you ACTUALLY admit that there ARE teams in the league that BETTER THAN YOU?

LA own Boston forever, are you living in the box, or you can't afford cable? FAKERS lost already, if you have internet, go to yahoo sports or nba.com or something,  Celtic (or Celdicks, according to some Fakers) owned Lakers in game 6, just so you know.

Answer 6

Once,Kobe is done with his career, Kobe's going to be as great as Jordan by then.

Answer 7

Jordan had John Paxson, Charles Oakley,  Woolridge, hoarce grant and scottie pippen and this was all during the eighties.  Thats a d**n good team.  Michael always had a pretty good team.

Answer 8

I think with the team they got they are kind of out of the similar era.  they jus need Odom to commit to playin on both sides of the floor, pau gasol to get a lil physical, and the team to take their lost to the celtics as a learnin experience to become a better, smarter team next yr, and i wouldn't be surprised if they made it back to the finals again.  I jus believe they shouldn't have any reason to play like chickens with their heads cut off, runnin around as if they dont know what to do.

Answer 9

Kobe is better than MJ

Answer 10

MJ is MJ Kobe is Kobe

Difference are MJ won 6title Kobe won 3titles

MJ never had 81 pts, Kobe did.

Kobe is the closest to be next MJ

Answer 11

I understand your connection with both, but you can't compare the 80's talented players to what kobe faced in his first round exits before the team he has now.  JOrdan faced way better competition in the 80's than anything kobe has faced post shaq.  The 80's was one of the best era's.

Answer 12

yyyyyyyyyeahhhhhhhhh

Answer 13

yeah but kobe is already older and MJ was young when he got that team
