His Airness Michael Jordan

[cardinalemt]

still a big fan of mj

[darknight2272]

maybe the greatest during his time.one of the greats

[hondacaptiva]

in 10 years...bibilihin din ni jc intal ang team ng red bull sa PBA!

[oLvR]

Still my favorite who ever played the game...

[carlgta]

the greatest basketball player. :thumbsupsmiley:

[deepdiverboy]

Jordan's latest Hitler mustache looks just stupid.

 

Charles Barkley had the guts to call him out on it.

 

The rest of the US media was too afraid of antagonizing His Airness.

MJ makes his teammates look good.

KB makes himself look good.

This is Bull s@%t. Paano ka mananalo ng 5 championships if you make yourself look good. When Jordan was much younger he was branded as a one man team. Kobe would be respected once he retires. There is only one Jordan. But fans cannot help comparing Kobe to Mj because of Kobe's accomplishments.

[Vegasboy32]

Hands down Michael Jordan was the greatest player of all time. I said 'was' because you never know.

Someone may suddenly appear and be the next Mchael Jordan. But he as a owner, honestly I worry for

him. He is not a hands on person. Yes Yes, he has been appearing recently in Bobcats games. But for

how long. Some people are great player but lousy owner of a team. I hope he suceeds but personally

I doubt it.

 

He is a good player but sucks as a an owner. He drafted Kwame Brown as the no.1 pick in 2001.

Bryant won the first 3 championships with him as second-fiddle to Shaq. MJ had always been the man for the Bulls in each of their championships.

I don't think Shaq would have won his first three championships without Kobe either.

 

 

As for MJ? Pippen took the exact same team without Jordan to the ECF where they were beaten by a bad call, they should have moved on to face the Rockets in the Finals. Remove Kobe from this year's Lakers team and they would have been eliminated by the Thunder in the first round.

Why, do Kobe's championship rings have more diamonds than his teammates'?

[RER]

with respect to Kobe and MJ, Mj is better than Kobe, 6 ring vs 5 ring.

 

Wag na lang pagtalunan ang performance dahil team performance ang pinag uusapan.

 

but they are both better than Paul Pierce

[howarddeduct]

^BULL! Paul Pierce is the greatest of all time. Period!

It seems to me you're implying that the Bulls can win without MJ and the Lakers can't win without Bryant. Let me ask you this, could the Bulls have won any title at all without MJ? I wonder if MJ ever shot 25% in a do-or-die playoff game. Could Bryant have won those championships without Shaq?

 

What I'm pointing out is MJ was the man in all those 6 Bulls championships. Bryant was the man in only 2 of them, therefore, MJ>Bryant. Of course he's got one more than Shaq but he could have had only 2 without Shaq.

^^^ nice shot

[Guest hastati]

Uhm, I was saying that Bryant would only have 2 rings today without Shaq. Should Bryant win 6, he still could not claim that he is at par with MJ simply coz he was not the man in 3 of those.

Most telling stat: MJ = 5 MVPs, Kobe = 1 MVP. Hasn't earned the gravitas to be considered best ever.

[perrin]

di ko sure pero mabibilang mo siguro sa daliri yung number of times na nag-shoot below 40% si MJ. di nagsasayang ng posession.

[Vegasboy32]

For me the best player is Bill Russel. Even Jordan couldn't beat that. Jordan just changed the game. Of course Kobe is next in line just in case he surpasses him. At the same time, Kobe is still playing while Jordan has already retired. We would only know Kobe's greatness once he retires.

 

The only difference with Kobe and Jordan is that he made tougher shots. Jordan made much easier shots. That's according to Phil Jackson. I would have to agree. Just look at their series against the Suns. Kobe made a lot of tough shots that went in. Hindi mo na masasabing chamba yon dahil ilang beses na niyang nagawa yon. Jordan played man to man defense throughout his career. Kobe had to adjust to the zone defense.
