Why can't Kobe Bryant have as many championship rings or MVP awards as Michael Jordan?

Question

and how come MJ doesn't need Shaq or Pau Gasol to take him to the Finals?

Answer 1

Cause MJ had Scottie Pippen to help him get into the finals. Michael Jordan + Scottie Pippen is more scary than Bryant + Gasol any day.

Answer 2

Do you know much about sports?  MJ had a supporting cast.  He didn't do it all by himself.  He had Scottie Pippen.  John Paxson hit key 3's in the playoffs.  Toni Kukoc hit key 3's, BJ Armstrong hit key 3's.  Dennis Rodman was the best Rebounder. Horrace Grant.  Ron Harper hit key 3's. Steve Kerr hit crucial 3 pointers.  Learn the game and history before you open your mouth.  Also 1 man can not play against 5 by himself.  I don't take no credit from Jordan he his the greatest player ever.  It seems to me that you contradict yourself by saying people compare Lebron to Kobe.  Now you are comparing Kobe to MJ.

Answer 3

B/c MJ had Pippen, that's why.

Answer 4

You're right MJ didn't have Shaq, but he had Pippen and Kukoc, and Steve Kerr.

Answer 5

How come Jordan was 1-9 in the playoffs with out Pippen. Including two sweeps and two seasons missing the playoffs entirely?

Answer 6

let me tell you something basketball is a team sport like the celtics played with team like not hogging the ball same for the spurs and you need someone to get you to the finals you cant do it by yourself

Answer 7

LOL, thats a great observation. You would think Kobe would have like 10 already since the league is so watered down. But He destroyed Shaq's Lakers for his own greed now he will never win a title again!

Answer 8

For the MVPs It is up to him and his performance compared to others.

For the Championship rings it takes a team.

Give him some time.

Perhaps he can even earn himself as many Olympic Golds.

Answer 9

He's hasn't played as long as MJ! Give Kobe time he will!!

Don't worry much ok!!It will be ok!!

Answer 10

Because he stopped tasting Shaq's rear.

Answer 11

well MJ did have scotty pippen  and dennis rodman.  and kobe bryants MVP came a little overdue
