The Greatest Basketball Player


*kalel*

Recommended Posts

MJ talaga. He could WILL his team to win games, made his teammates better and you felt like every shot was going in, every game was a W. Di ka talaga magdududa eh.

 

Kobe is the closest thing, but he still has some lacking qualities, like making teammates better, etc. He's also selfish. To those who will argue na bwakaw si MJ, Exhibit A - MJ to Kerr for the game winning shot against the Jazz in Game 6 of the 1997 NBA Finals.

 

And let's not even talk about LBJ, he might be the Most Physically Gifted in my books and could have surpassed MJ as the Greatest Ever, but he's not even close to having the HEART that Kobe has, so let's not even compare him to MJ.
