    Like Mike, Only Better

    This is one of the dumbest articles I've ever read...

    Like Mike, Only Better

    Don't laugh. Kobe's numbers vs. MJ put his career in perspective.

    The next MJ? He's playing his 11th season. He's won three NBA rings. He's averaging 53.6 points his past five games. Love him. Hate him. But don't ignore him. In fact, Kobe's been better than MJ. Jemele Hill

      I don't want to stereotype because she's a woman, but that was one of the dumbest stories I've ever read, just like I said in the Kobe thread.

        People will never give Kobe his due.

          I am not a MJ fan...nor am I a Kobe fan...

          Both are great players.

          However, she says things like "the NBA is tougher now...Kobe gets guarded by athletes like Vince Carter...while Mike only had smaller guards like Joe Dumars to guard him."

          Right there, that's THE most stupid thing I've ever read that's NBA related.

          Vince Carter and half these bigger guys now play NO D.

          Joe Dumars played D like his life depended on it...

          Amazingly dumb thing to say.

            Some people will never give Kobe his due. Then there are some who will lavish praise beyond all reason.

            Kobe's a great player, but he isn't better than Jordan.

            Maybe he will be someday, maybe not (I don't think he will, but that's my opinion).

              Not only is that article wrong on almost every point(the only part it got right was kobe being a slightly better outside shooter and jordan beating up his teammates), but it also said dywane wade was close to the same level as kobe and mj, which actually made me lol when i read it

                  oh please...ppl seem to forget that todays game is alot more offense friendly. if MJ was in his prime right now, playing the way he was back then...he'd prob be avging 40pts+.

                      Actually...she makes some good points.

                      About how Jordan wasn't the best of teammates, how Jordan wasn't the best husband, Jordan and his gambling, yet people want to turn around and attack Kobe's life?

                      We just should leave that ish off the court. The only way to determine who is the <b>BETTER</b> player is to get Jordan and Kobe in their primes, and let them play in a game of 21.


                      No doubt Jordan has been more successful than Kobe...but the two words differ...success and talent...

                      Also, you shouldn't be saying women don't know about the game.

                        Jemele Hill has always been an idiot. Trust me, I know.

                          That has nothing to do with on the court...

                          Jordan is better, she's wrong, and quite frankly she should do some research into the differences between today's softer more O friendly league, and the tough as nails league Jordan played in.

                            Im wondering how she got a job on a supposed prestigous network and they allowed this kind of trash to be published.

                              Exactly, but you have to understand that some people will not give Kobe credit because of who they <i>think</i> he is...while they might not realize the type of person Jordan is because they don't know either of them.

                              Yeah she's wrong on mostly everything, but she hit the nail on the head with that point. After she made that point she went on to talk about the 'on court' stuff.

                              Also, she is right about how talent and success are two different things.

                              Just because Jordan acheived more in the NBA, that doesn't make him a more talented player. To find that out, they would have to go head-2-head in a game of 21.

                              Garnett is talented as hell, but he still hasn't found the success he wants.
