During my time on earth I got to see Jordan, Bird, Magic, James, Bryant...So much brilliance in one lifetime, I feel like a lucky man.
You still around? Can now add guys like lebron and kd bruh
@@suppaman12 Absolutely, but still, Jordan, Bird, Magic, James, Bryant were the ones that I thought were so brilliant. And I have the advantage of age to compare them all. There will always be the "new guy" that is brilliant, a perfectionist, and you are right, I missed some of the newer guys. But in pure inspiration, making a team better, sharing the goals, and making exciting basketball for the country, I like my picks. But you have a different perspective than me, and basketball keeps moving to a higher level, so I think you are correct also. I guess it's just a matter of eras. Now, go fight with your grandchildren about who is the GOAT. Trust me, you WILL be ME one day.
Tom Brady randy Johnson David Ortiz the list goes on
From the highlights I saw what stood out was. Jordan took less dribbles, was quicker, more athletic, faster decision making.
@@vdLeo-je6os bro you sound like you're in denial. Stats do matter. Just accept it, Jordan is better and will always be better than Kobe. Just because jordan is better than Kobe doesnt mean kobe is trash. Kobe is still one of the best players in nba history.
Dont ignore facts it makes you look biased
@@vdLeo-je6os check out 88-93 Jordan, way more faster and explosive than any version of Kobe.
@@tjhicks3600 I've never believed that Kobe was better from Jordan. I just believe that Kobe was the best copy of him! And when I say the best I mean The best! Better than Lebron, T-Mac, Kawhi, Harden, Wade, Carmello. Iverson, Allen, Carter, Derozan etc. Was Kobe the next Michael Jordan? Not quite, but he came as close as anyone who tried and created a legend of his own. The greatest maker of tough shots in NBA history. The guy also won five NBA titles
@@tjhicks3600 Titles matter more than stats in my opinion!
More passing than kobe
these kids nowadays talk about Kobe being the greatest because they never watched full games of MJ they just watch you tube highlights.
Rip kobe
Okay Boomer
Jimmy Crackcorn LMAOOO, Kobe's 3 rings were against an aging reggie miller, jason kidd with no legit backup, and allen iverson. Jordan went up against drexler, barkley, malone and stockton twice, payton and kemp, and the showtime lakers.
Dre Da Don Kobe > Magic
Kirrus 07 your literally in your 40s
Jordan had his own style... Kobe mimicked it almost flawlessly... however... KOBE ALSO HAD IS OWN STYLE... so not only was he able to mirror and play like MJ but he also had is very own style
44% shooting is almost flawless to you?
Kobe was the closest but he didn't mimick MJs style flawlessly...MJs dominance was unrivaled..the way he attacked the basket .theres no comparison
@@jasonhearn5818 yet you just made the comparison
@@nonamed56 Theres always been a comparison since Kobe was a Rookie its no secret Kobe was influenced by MJ ...I made a correction to this original comment and Kobe didn't perfectly mimick MJ ...nobody did...as far as the next MJ Kobe was the Closet yet still far
Rip Kobe 😔
I understand that Kobe missed a lot of shots in the clutch but to miss a lot means he took a ton of shots in the clutch, why doesn't he ever get credit for that? We always down him for missing so many shots and then turn around & kill LeBron for passing up shots in the clutch.. Do we want the best player on the team taking the last shot or not?
well being compared to MJ all has to be taken into consideration not just from individual performance but a leadership standpoint since the ultimate goal is winning MJ found a way to get the balance of scoring his points..knowing when to shoot and when to get teammates involved
MJ is the big brother him and Kobe had a relationship we never knew bout till RIP Kobe No one will be as great as either of them.
Kobe is undoubtedly an outstanding and a superstar NBA player.. Ultimately Michael Jordan is still the indisputable "Best of the Bests". Kobe, R.I.P. all the NBA fans will surely miss you for a long time to come too.
Kobe manifested it better
Lebron 😂
Kobe is a fantastic player, the eye test proves that.
The eye test also shows Jordan was clearly better in all facets of basketball. MJ was a cold, super functional machine with very sharp and clean methods of destroying you without having really bad shooting nights. He was a lot more tactical and surgeon like. He played more fluidly and less conscious. He was more stream of conscience mixed with intellectual. A perfect balance of fierce and disciplined fire. While Kobe was more like goku - raw unfiltered brilliance with no E break. Glad I got to see both play. It was a pleasure to see such excellence on the court.
Kobe's skills on terms of crossovers, and so on, are superior
100 % agree
Hablemos de crossovers? This is not nba 2k
Niko Bellic he meant to say that Kobe was better on what we like to call “skill”
Kobe better he has better dunks then Jordan and shoots better
Inasmuch as I like Kobe, please do not
include MJ in any GOAT conversations.
NO ONE CAN TOUCH HIS GREATNESS.
NO ONE!
Except Wilt Chamberlain who is better :)

Michael Jordan the goat
@Jesse Mitchell True i was talking to someone else & told him we all Look up to MJ & kobe did 2
Jordan was never a2nd option.. Kobe had arguably the most dominant center in nba history for his three rings.
I think kobe was a lil better offensively overall, just my opinion, don't kill me
Umhm
And Michael had scottie pippin , arguably the best defender of all time,for all 6 of his rings , and had Dennis Rodman, the dude who held Shaq for 0 points the game he guarded him, for 3 of his rings

I feel like it will be a kyrie vs curry thing with kobe and jordan just how curry averages the better stats by kyrie get the best of him when the matchup that how i feel it will go with kobe vs jordan because you can't deny that kobe could do everything jordan can do plus a little bit more
@Kobe Jordan this video has nothing to do with LeBron James; it is Kobe versus Jordan son no need to feel threatened.
Jordan>lebron>>>>>>kobe
stats and accolades dont lie, both players are just better, i dont care if you call me a dickrider or not because you cant say that to stats and accolades lmao
You should make a comparison between Bird and Magic!
Basketball Doctor I like bird more because he truly loves the game and is a great trash talker. Magic got his career ended because of sex lmao
Rule talk how they both had to stop playing was strange one because of back injuries the other because of stuff that happned off the court
Cheney Zhang man fuvk you don't disrespect magic
That would be cool. A comparison that there is actually a point to.
Basketball Doctor it may be hard to compare them because they played 2 different positions
Kobe was the most entertaining player of all time
another lie jordan was he was basically showtime walking on air you have to be a kid saying this
R.I.P Kobe and his daughter Gigi. Best wishes to Kobe's and Gigi's loved ones.
I am a huge fan of Kobe and I never knew Gigi but after watching her play basketball it is safe to say she was awsome and amazing.
michael jordan kind of blows every other player in NBA history out of the water..
Now I understand Kobe being compared to Jordan due to similar playing styles; *but* hes not on the same tier with MJ... MJ is alone on that tier, but obviously Kobe is a legend, and first ballot hall of famer.
i say lebron is the closet one to him in terms of dominance
Commandosoap777
I'm certainly *optimistic* about Lebron eventually surpassing Jordan, OR at least end up on the same tier with Jordan, but bron has a lot of work to do, if he wants his ultimate goal of being " the greatest " to occur ...
but uh...... someone will bring up finals records pretty soon. lol.
I'd have to agree with this. And that's mentioned in the video. Their styles of play are very similar, but that doesn't mean Kobe was as a good as Jordan.
Toootally agree with you guys
Jordan is in another level. Maybe LeBron is close, but still can't beat him. Jordan is a legend.
Just imagine how good Kobe would have been if he could Palm the ball like MJ.
just imagine if kobe played first before jordan. who would he copy without the GOAT?
@@erwinadrados4747 great question.

@@Vonslik69 Yeah, Kobe was athletic but not freakishly athletic. Jordan was built by the Gods to play basketball. No weakness. In his youth, he was greased lightning, defied gravity, and had hands the size of watermelons. Literally no physical weakness.

Kobe is a self fish
The thing you briefly mentioned at the end about the teams Jordan had which allowed him to win his championships. It should be noted another reason MJ is head and shoulders above Kobe is because Kobe had a chance to have great teams, teammates, an amazing coach, and because is was so arrogant, disrespectful, and polarizing, he blew it all up every time. He couldn't get along with anyone. MJ for any character flaws he had that alienated people, could still make it work with everyone he played with. MJ pushed people as well. But I think MJ did it with more respect than Kobe. MJ was more of a "tough love" kind of personality. You had to earn MJ's respect with hard work because he just wanted his teammates to play at their very best. Kobe on the other hand seemed more like an anti social misanthrope who didn't respect anyone, or care about anyone except himself. Maybe he should've been a golfer or tennis player. MJ simply made every one of his players better. The same cannot be said about Kobe. MJ all the way.
Yeah Pippin Seems to be really loving Jordan with tough love
Kobe is a watered down version of Jordan. He did some things greater,, I mean, so did Karl Malone and other players. I challenge you all to thoroughly research their career, stats, etc and you will stand in awe and ask yourself...how did MJ maintain that level of greatness... Look at the whole career of both and even Kobe fans will have to say, MJ is hands down the greatest..
@@YungPhilosopher ain’t nobody better than MJ
I don't think ANYONE with any basketball knowledge ever considered Kobe as the greatest player ever... I'm a Kobe fan and even I know he's barely even a top 5 player, but he was still great
That's because you dont know what you're talking about. Let me guess lebron James is the best lmfao!!!!!!!!!! Who played in the breezy east his whole carreer against no Defense.

@@darmbains9727 Kobe was overrated af
I fully concur and have always said so. Michael was a better and more efficient scorer, a more manically competitive player, far better defender, and MJ was quicker, stronger, and had massive hands which tremendously helped his game. Finally, he had something else Kobe didn't have "hangtime in the air that was uncanny". That's why he is Michael Air Jordan. Finally, he was a greater rebounder and passer.
Correct!
Here’s the difference
Kobe Played with the most dominant big man of the 21st century
Jordan excelled in his prime without a dominant big man in his bulls roster (84-93; 94-98)
Jordan>Kobe
Dumisa Tony Johnson had a better team though (talking Kobe in his prime not young Kobe with shaq)
Na fam fro Kobe is better
Mj had a super team. Rodman and pippin and Steve kerr
Michael Jordan is still better
BNA jordan way better it’s not even close , seismic gap between them
"Kobe made a few clutch shots but......" Great insight there man
You know how we do, only cold-hard facts and generalizations. :D

@@novo1952 just cause Kobe passed away doesnt mean hes the best. he may rest but MJ is #1
Lucifer Morningstar exactly
Great video as usual but I think including the number of shot attempts in the clutch would've clarified Kobe's low percentage. He forced so many shots down the stretch of close games because he didn't want anyone else taking them. Not saying that's a good thing but to say he's not clutch altogether based on the percentage alone is unfair. Just ask opposing players and coaches if Kobe was clutch or not, they FEARED him in crunch time

This video just once again, proves my point, about how post-MJ perimeter players have been marketed for the last 20 years.
If you want to create a buzz around your story, article, video, etc., as it relates to the marketing of a new player, just attach MJ's name to it, and watch it take off.
The dumb kids of this generation will eat it up.
You millennials are CONSTANTLY trying to sell some new guy with MJ's name/legacy, while simultaneously claiming that he's overrated...SMH
Well see what u can do to stop it,or do something to get your name out there.dont get mad bro.im pretty sure you stupid to alot of chit too.
"People always ask me who would win in a 1v1 me or jordan, now if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here because what ever you got from me is from him"
You can't be greater than the guy you imitate.
That's what I tell everybody when they compare Kobe to Mike! A copy is never as good as the original... He stole all his moves, but still came up short in every category except 3's which is to be expected because Mike didn't look for 3's everybody knows it was midrange where he dominated! Most of the people that say Kobe was better weren't even alive when Mike was playing...
I'm 45 I watched both careers and Mike was better the GOAT period!
That's why Kobe isn't mentioned top 3 of all time and LeBron is
The main thing is that In Jordan's area there was almost a superstar on every team, plus more big men which made it more difficult to score inside
mj bigger hands,stronger, more hops, better d, and just plain meaner

Jordan also played less years and took a two year break and cane into the league after three years of college compared to love coming in straight from high school
love the review, well done.
kobe played with shaq, who was dominante as heck which effected his stats, less shots less points less rebounds, and kobe's first 2 years we're warmups, I agree Jordan was better but it's sooo hard to compare players, there's just too many variables, as skip bayless always talks about the "eye test" these two players are a lot closer than the stats indicate. on a side note between kobe and lebron playing in Jordans era, lebron cant handle the mental toughness while kobe I belive would actually thrive, he was made for Jordans era.
They averaged around the same no of shots per game at 20...
The Revolution L.
The Revolution Jordan was much quicker and far more graceful than bryant.
without oneal kobe = 0 rings but a few more points. so i dont know what are you talking about. lol funny
Sergio Catalan without oneal= 2 rings dumb ass lls
If jordan had played a full 20 seasons with his average still at 30PPG, Jordan would've scored more than 40k points. When I did the math, it was a bit over 43k. Jordan is the greatest scorer in NBA history.
Kd is the most prolific scorer in nba, shut yo inbred dumbass up fr
All 906 dislikes came from Kobe stans. Lmao.
Much love and respect to Kobe. RIP. But in my eyes Jordan is the best.
Pls compare Larry Bird vs. Lebron James
LeBron is Better
This channel was so biased. Mj is obviously better than kobe but it doesnt take a genius that they were leaning to jordan the entire video. So even if they do make a vid about larry vs james it would be completely biased i reckon

The record may eventually be broken, but I don't think the circumstances surrounding it will ever be quite the same?
Mj's hang time and graceful hard magic lay-up moves can't copy by Kobe. Mj still better by far..honestly.
You're wrong.. You can say Jordan is better than Kobe, but when you say by far you totally disrespected Kobe. Mj said it himself Kobe is the only one who could beat him. Kobe is better than you think.
Kobe was off the bench for his first two seasons and Jordan retired a couple of times so
So? Even if you take the first three years away Jordan still had the better stats.
retirement has nothing to do with it. they're evaluated during their performances on the court. even if mj retired 5x, if he can no longer put the ball in the rim efficiently, it still would show in his career stats. but then it didn't. he was still efficient even in their second threepeat run.

Jordan had a better field goal percentage, more rings, and was more clutch. Case closed✌✌
Yes Mike is greater than Kobe, but Kobe is better version than mike
@Gr8 1 u cant pass Mike as a goat, his like basketball jesus, but, Kobe play in modern era, play again evolution player,
fear less wtf are you talking about lol
@Gr8 1 wtf, Kobe is the 2nd greatest SG no doubt. Kobe legit overshadowed wade in wade's prime. Just check out Wade's all NBA 2nd team count. D-Wade is arguably the 3rd best SG. Like in what way is wade better than Kobe? Perhaps d-wade has a better drive to the basket. But I really can't think of another category where D-wade surpass the Black Mamba(stats wise, trophy wise, talent wise, or skill wise). Don't get me wrong. D-wade is top 30 of all time to me. But Kobe is at least top 10
Kobe was the only player on his team that could create his own shot. Jordan had Scottie who was a playmaker
I would never argue that Kobe was better than Jordan. Jordan is untouchable to me. I will give props to Kobe for chasing it, clearly wanting to do whatever it takes to be the best. I don't think anyone questions that. Even more so, Kobe never changed the goal post, he wasn't trying to argue ring status, this or that. When your the goat your the goat. Kobe's respect and fear from oppenants is obvious, he left his mark on the game. That's untouchable too!

If you would ask a granny in a remote South American village who Michael Jordan is she would say the basketball player, and that period was prior to mass use of the internet, nevertheless social networks, google and youtube for an example. Kobe wasn't even the most popular in the NBA league until 2011 when he expanded his brand to China, and between 2000-2010 Iverson, McGrady, Carter, KG, Duncan, etc. were far more popular players then him.
PS: And on subjective note, Michael Jordan is the only player that is even better then i remember him. Each time i watch the highlights i end up perplexed at what he used to do on so many levels of basketball.
This comment is gold and TRUTH.
From my perspective of watching the NBA for more than 20 years Michael Jordan was the only player in history that in his prime was bigger then basketball and the NBA itself as a brand.
Not true.
pepamethodman - totally true. The modern NBA is modeled after his Bulls. Nobody dreamed of guards being the main players on a championship team - didn't think it was possible. Once David Stern saw how much people loved watching guards over big men fighting in the paint, the NBA made defensive rule changes over 5 or so years to make the game easier for perimeter players (guards and small forwards primarily)
MJ revolutionized the NBA in a dozen different ways - on a systemic level. He was the perfect player and man who came at the right time bridging the old NBA and today - for that alone there will never be another MJ.
Boogie Loo hopefully it will be some others mj. someone will push these limits and become the new goat. this is the individual goal and dream of any player to replace mj.
Rest in peace Kobe....
Yes rip..etc..who was better kobe or Jordan?
@@iamBlackGambit Jordan was better... many moves Kobe did was teached him by Jordan
@@iamBlackGambit YUP Just Jordan period
Best way to put it. Similarity is not equality. Kobe doesn't belong here.
MJ no question.😂 Pretty hilarious. Kobe was right up there though. All I can say is they both won with the same coaches. Phil Jackson and Tex winter. Ironically? Nope. Greatness and heart always comes together and dominates. ALWAYS.
MJ, NO QUESTION
Could you bring out an video about a list where you are ranking the top 10 all star teams
you know MJ is better when his rookie season was better than Kobe's (1) MVP season lmfao and Kobe was a legend but MJ beats him every category and is the better play for sure
Kobe shot more to get ahead of off MJ's all time scoring record.
Vol deMort you pissed of everybody that likes Kobe😂😂
Im a kobe fan myself and its straight facts
Vol deMort the last 4 seasons of kobe were a complite dissaster he was dragging his team cause his ego was more important. after the last championship against celtis he should have retired. by the way he didnt deserve that ring after that horrible game. the most overrated player ever

Sergio Catalan that aint true
wow! great job and how did you do the research of being clutch? Kobe 25% damn and those laker bias fans think he's clutch smh
Its because he hit so many unbelievably difficult shots when the game was on the line. He didnt have shooters like Jordan did, or at least ones he could trust. One has to remember the stats are a little merky since kobe was comming off the bench his first 4 years and didnt play many minutes, (La had an all star guard at the time and kobe was 17, so per game stats really dont mean that much in this debate)and his last 4 years he was always hurt and had a horrible team.
gtepp031387 you could take out Kobe Bryant’s first four years and last 4 years and Jordan would still have better stats
@@Estarlin.c I'm not saying Kobe was better then Jordan. In fact I would take Jordan myself but I'd be dam happy getting Kobe as well. My point is it's closer then the stats would have you believe.
gtepp031387 how? even if you take stats out the equation Michael makes his teammates better than Kobe ever could
True but he’s a better player by himself like if they did a 1 v 1 I’d be on Kobe’s side
They both are entertaining and Great for their time
Both of them legends and killer in the basketball Court and also both of them are my favorite player for me diffference between the two of them just base on my simple anylasis the hangtime and floating of mike is different just like out of this world tnx.
to me i like both MJ and kobe .
number to me don't mean shit
Kobe is one of the great .if you want to know the real numbers of Kobe you must cut the last three years in his career
Samir still worse than MJ and lebron
Cheney Zhang I know that. Kobe never was close of Michael Jordan .
But what I'm saying if you want the real Kobe numbers and be fair minded with him you need to cut the last three years in his career.
If you do that you cut Jordan's Wizards years too. And a lot of the time Kobe at his oldest was injured and didn't play.
+Samir cut Kobes last three years, and MJs last two years. Still ain't a comparison, both didn't do shit that drastically affected their stats. Admit it. Kobe is not close to MJs level
you have to include them. he played them, so there's that. deal with it. also, saying numbers don't mean shit basically says you're blatantly ignoring facts and just going with favoritism.
One can not simply wear fake Jordans and expect the same results.
Kobe did have a far superior crossover.
There's one problem with the very last segment. To make it entirely fair, you can't add the season's Kobe played that Jordan didn't. It's simply not fair. You're factoring in stats for Kobe that Jordan doesn't have because they don't exist because he didn't play for two decades.
No the statistical comparison is fair. The writer correctly mentiones Kobe's additional all star nods and points advantages are because he played 5 more seasons.
I'm a fan of both men! I'm old enough were I have watched both MJ and Kobe played games. Kobe can fade away shot like MJ, Kobe can do lay-up like MJ, Kobe cna do defense like MJ, Kobe can walk swag like MJ. One thing that Kobe can't do was jump as high and elevate like MJ. MJ defines gravity, see other youtube dunks of both men.
Kobe is a 42% field goal percentage version of Jordan. Very inefficient.
While Jordan in his prime had many seasons of 54%-51% shooting taking the same contested jumpers..
blackstarGOaT 42% and 5 chips. Nobody comes close to that
Jelly Bean lol 42% is a trash field goal percentage. And Shaq averaging 35PPG and 14 Rebs winning 3 Finals MVPs helps getting those quick 3 rings. And if you're just ring counting then John Havlicek has 8 rings does that mean he is better than kobe? No of course lol
Jelly Bean Jordan comes kkkkkkk, Just kidding
blackstarGOaT Shaq would not won without Kobe. And it's not 42%. He was a 47% fg shooter til he had achilles where he shot 35% for 3 seasons. And a 42% fg that low would not win you back to back titles.
blackstarGOaT It's about rings at the end of the day. People would only question how many u won regardless of your individual accolades
RIP Kobe Bryant
Also if t Mac would have stayed healthy omg he would definitely be in the convo for the #2 spot
Ill take a grant hill over tmac,if either never gotton hurt
People forget how cold T-Mac was 🥶
And Mike played in a more talented and tougher defensive era too...
Mo beasley haha u must be blind! Nba is way more talented then when jordan played
Lmao who was the next best sg during Jordan’s era? Clyde Drexler lmaoooo HES a bum. Kobe had to face dwade , Tracy McGrady , Allen Iverson , lebron James , and etc
@@sushmoyislam2858 You are really ignorant if you say Clyde was a bum. Penny Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, and Steve Smith were the other top SG's in the 90s.
Did those players you mentioned have to go up against the 80s Pistons defense? Go and look up Pistons Defense vs Jordan, that what it took to keep Jordan in check.
Lebron would be put on the floor the first time he flopped against that defense. Kobe and Wade would just be relegated to jump shots.
Get some education, watch the Last Dance if you haven't already.
The comments section for this video makes me so proud of the community that's grown here. We've got some REAL NBA fans, SMART NBA fans who know the game. A LOT of people say Kobe is the greatest or equal to Jordan. I'm surprised there aren't more brainwashed Kobe fans in here, but I guess I shouldn't be. You guys are the most knowledgeable and intelligent NBA fans out there. Thanks for joining the community.
Mixed Tape Videos Yeah fuck off
Mixed Tape Videos That was the stupidest thing ever. "Brainwashed?" Wow
Kobe always had to prove himself with or with out good teammates. Jordan never made it past the first round without Pippen. Kobe has f**king 36 Game winners.
Jordan never had a bad roster. Kobe carried the Lakers in 2006 to the playoffs.
You guys also forgot to mention 81 points
Super Biased 👎
Mixed Tape Videos i already knew this video was hella biased before i saw this comment. you sir are a brainwashed jordan worshipper
Gavin De Schutter Jordan never had a bad roster? Who was Jordan playing with and against when he was getting swept out of the first round?
I'm sure I'm going to get attacked for this but I don't care. I hate some of the arguments that get made because they are trivial when you look at the entire picture. Yes, Kobe scored 81 in a game, yes he outscored an entire team in 3 quarters which is ridiculous. Jordan still has a higher ppg average. Yes Jordan was swept in the playoffs when he had no supporting cast against hall of fame teams. Kobe blew a 3-1 lead when he had no supporting cast. So what??
Hakeem The Dream did something Jordan, Kobe, Lebron, hell no other player has ever done. He won a championship with no other all star on his team. So what?? Does that make him the best? You have to look at the totality of a player's game, not just arguments in favor of one or the other.
Mixed Tape Videos Kobe Bryant is still a better player his stats does it match up with Jordan but u also got to remember Kobe came off the bench Kobe injuries had killed him and Jordan retired and came back as a wizard unless does stats don't count him playing for the wizards. but Kobe last 3 NBA finals team against Jordan last 3 NBA finals team would of beatin the bull's Kobe Bryant playing against him that killer Instinct and that drive just facing him they would of beatin the bulls becuz of that.knowing that ur playing somebody that in ur way to become the GOAT. Kobe films is better then his resume, they will always be more Lakers fans then bulls fans. to me he's still the GOAT in juries killed him to keep going
"I don't get five championships here without him." - Kobe on MJ🐐
So by my calculations that brings the totals to 11 for MJ and 0 for Kobe. Case closed. Moving on... /s
There's comparison because they have similar styles, and kobe maybe as good as Michael Jordan in one on one plays, but as an overall player, its not even close, Jordan way better than kobe
