JORDAN VS. KOBE/LEBRON

Posted by Anonymous


Anyone else tired of these doosh bags on tv trying to compare MJ to Kobe and Lebron? I mean come on, its not even close. These guys are not on the same level as Jordan! Don't get me wrong Kobe and Lebron are obviously both hall of fame worthy great players but as good or better then jordan......No way in hell!

Kobe and Lebron play in a defensively and intellectually watered down league. While Jordan played in arguably the golden age of basketball. Jordan played against how many guys who are on the 50 greatest list? And can you name anyone playing now who will superseed any of those names in the future? No! (other then kobe and lebron themselves)

Jordan played against the always defensively tough knicks of the 90's, the Heat of the 90's, The Pacers of the 90's, The late 90's Jazz, the Great Piston teams of the late 80's and early 90's, the celtics of the late 80's. These were teams that the bulls had to go through every year to win thier championships.

The players that Jordan had to go against: Magic, Barkely, Malone, Ewing, Bird, Reggie Miller, Stockton, David Robinson, Shaq (in his prime), Olajuwon, drexler, wilkinson. Not too mention back then every team had a big center and the fouls weren't flowing like chocolate at the Wonka Factory!

Today's game is a full court, run and gun mess! Nobody knows how to play a half-court game anymore and most of these guys can't shoot for shit and have no idea how to play with thier back to the basket! All these guys know how to do is dunk. If Lebron or Kobe had to go up against the teams of the 90's defenses they would spend most of the game on thier asses!

And i'm not saying the guys back then were rocket scientists but as far as knowledge of the game and how to play it strategically they were way beyond what goes on today!

I mean there are whole teams of white guys now and sometimes all 5 starters are white! A white guy on a team back in jordan's days was like a Koko softball homerun today....A MIRACLE!

There is a clear difference in the feeling you had when Jordan got the ball and when Kobe or Lebron get it. In the final seconds when the game was on the line and the inbound pass was coming you knew that your team couldn't let Jordan get the inbound pass or it was over forget about the shot! When Kobe or Lebron get the ball you know it can be stopped with good D.

With that being said I can't wait to get Lebron on the KNICKS!

GOAT you are absolutely right about Jordan, he was the reason I started watching basketball.

Let's make this home run derby happen! This would be a great sports betting event. I think that we should record the home run derby and up it on the site.
