IMO: 23 > 24
Cool video.
I think it’s impossible to say which is better.
Defensively Michael was better. Michael didn’t develop an outside game till his career was half over, while Kobe has been lighting it up from all spots on the floor since he came into the league out of highschool. Kobe had Shaq and that’s it… Michael had a better supporting cast in Pippen, Kukoc, Rodman, Grant, random white guard with 3 point skills. Michael’s conference was generally weak with the exception being the Pistons and occasionally the Knicks. Kobe’s conference has always been stacked, with Phoenix, San Antonio, etc.
It’s really a tough call. Who would I prefer to have on my team? Well today, Kobe, since Michael is pretty old now. At their primes? Who knows.
thats not even a fucking competition
kobe himself wud tell you jordan is the best ever
and kobe is a rapist
indeed: 23>24
seriously? you meant to do that?
haha good thing that has to do with anything.
lol i read nyspeed everyday and just enjoy reading the critism, i find it hilarious
anywho… I’m not much into basketball, vid was cool, they do seem pretty equal based on style, both fun to watch play
I’m sure if you asked Michael, he’d say Kobe is better, or Magic, or Larry, or Dr. J, The Iceman, Cousy.
I’d like to hear why Kobe is so easily dismissed as not being as good as Michael. I’m not convinced which is better, but I’d say it’s pretty close. Michael’s defense alone was incredible, and while he hit a lot of big shots, he also did miss a good amount too. Kobe on the other hand always seems to be on fire.
Spacejam
mj in his prime!
are u serious? lol
fuck you 
it has everything to do with it
lol
I’d say Kobe is damn close but you’ll never be able to tell because the league is so different now.

& Jordan has an all-time best TEN SCORING TITLES, the highest ppg average in history (30.1ppg) , SIX NBA FINALS MVP AWARDS, and FIVE Regular Season NBA awards. Ten time first team all-pro. Leader of the team with the highest win total in NBA history (1996 Bulls with 72-10 record).
But then again Bryant is still playing.
mike u mean CRITICISM ??? omgawd
Well, that certainly helps settle the argument.
Comes down to one thing.
Competitive spirit. Jordan would rather die than lose a game. Kobe is kinda selfish
larry bird
Kobe would rather rape
23>
Completely different player… At least Kobe and Jordan are similar
Shaq and mugsy bogues… I think shaq was better
