Poll:Did you watch MJ and Kobe at their perspective primes?

Why would you of had to watch both of them play when there's facts that show MJ was a better player?

 

There's also YouTube.

 

I saw this picture in the other thread, I thought it pretty much "/debate"

Spoiler

 

Jordan never had a proper big man to play with.

Gasol and Shaq have been huge for Kobe's career.

Put Paul Pierce in the Lakers championship sides and I wager they still win them.

 

Yes... yes... yes I have seen MJ play since he was a freshman in college at NC... and have seen Kobe play since high school and it is not even close....

Kobe is a hall of famer, but he was not even the best player on his team for half of his career..... MJ was ALWAYS the best player on his team and the best player in the NBA every single year for over a decade.

The only thing Kobe was better than MJ at was shooting the 3 ball.... nothing else...

Comparing Kobe and MJ is like comparing Olajuwon and Ewing.... not even close.

 

This looks like one of tinman's polls.

 

Put Pierce on those Shaq teams and I say they at probably get 2 of those 3. Not sure if they could have beat the Kings or Blazers with them switched out so it would be close. I can't say the same about Gasol bc people continually over hype him just to down play how big of a role Kobe has in these last 2 rings. Gasol was a one time all star before he got to the Lakers. He is a good player but not a great one like Shaq. Pierce might have got one maybe with Gasol. I think if you switched the two out since the big three arrived in Boston Kobe would have got at least 2 rings with the Celtics.

 

I read all the options and could not bring myself to choose an answer other than the last one.... it is just unethical

 

Of course Jordan is better. But you can just compare the 2. They both have different greatness. Though Jordan is better, you don't wanna take anything from Kobe. Kobe isn't Jordan but he deserves his own stratosphere.

 

Considering how the Lakers won game 7 against the Blazers and game 6 against the Kings, I don't think it would have mattered who was on their team. You could have fielded high schoolers, and the league was going to guarantee them a win.

I think you could also make the argument that the Lakers would have won in 2004 with Pierce. I doubt PP would have been jacking up 25+ shots per game at 35% shooting with Shaq dominating down low all series.

 

what the f**k is a "perspective prime?" i think you meant respective.

unbelievably unnecessary thread is unbelievably unnecessary.

 

There should be a poll asking if people even watch basketball.

I think some people just watch commercials and youtube to make their opinions now.


It should have been:
Who made it to the NBA finals first? Dream or MJ?

if they can answer that question, then their opinions are legit.

 

kobe is getting closer, i hate to admit it

 

the only thing he's getting closer is the # of rings. the media loves to tout anyone who can be close to MJ so they can talk about it. it makes for good stories (just like they enjoy to compare new perimeter players back then to MJ when they came into the L).

there is literally no factual evidence that supports kobe is "getting closer" to MJ.

 

lol.

people who don't understand stats had to make a poll....

 

I watched both and mj was the better player. More clutch and did it all with less help.
