Angay pa d i ning lalisan ug kinsa? tsk3x...

MJ is the greatest... Ask Ewing, Miller, Drexler and etc. if y do they don't have championship rings. Simply it's because of MJ... :-p

[footlose]

sige pa ta ani hehehe

why MJ is the greatest? daghan kaayo siya combinasyon

like lebron = MJ is a Stat Whore
like Kobe = MJ is Clutch performer, even better
like Hakeem = MJ is a very good low post player
like Payton = he is a fierce one on one defender


and in the playoffs = his numbers did rise.... so nagkadako iya ppg inig playoffs


MJ = STAT WHORE plus CHAMPIONSHIPS and FINALS MVP's = The Goat


bisan si T MAC ni ingon na many will come close but none of them will be quite better than MJ...

[Jantehshiznit]

both are greats, these 2 are the only players who can play the triangle offense perfectly. but MJ > Kobe. but Kobe is a better shooter than MJ.

"Once you master the mental part of the game, you become a master of the game of basketball," Pierce said. "There's only been one master in basketball ever, and that's Michael Jordan, but Kobe is pretty close."

wa ka kita duwa sauna bro pag early 90's ug ingun cla ubus pa ani na gen grabeh ka physical..lau ra jud run banga gamay foul..sauna nihit ra ang mu abot ug ten years sa basket..tungud sa technology in health care sad pero usa jud sa rasun ang ka physical sa duwa..

I've been watching the NBA since MJ was not even fashionable. I know how the NBA game has changed. They can say how physical the game was back then, yeah, it was more physical alright with just more grabbing and hard fouls were not considered flagrant. Obviously you did not see, even back then, when a player gets hurt the league always protect its players by imposing the appropriate penalty. So it is not an argument that the players back then were better than today's players or defenses were much tougher just because it was more physical. A foul is a foul.

Also, the myth that Michael Jordan didn't face zone defenses needs to stop. Just youtube search for "Michael Jordan vs Zone defense". Now for some quotes....

Ron Artest claimed that if he defended Jordan in his prime, that Michael Jordan "would drop 50 on me".

Bruce Bowen stated that Michael Jordan was the hardest player he ever had to defend. Just think about that for a second, Bruce Bowen didn't even face MJ in MJ's prime.

During a 2007 L.A. Lakers pre-season broadcast, Phil Jackson was asked how he thought Michael Jordan would perform today, Phil said: "Michael would average 45 with these rules."

"You can't even touch a guy now," says Charlotte coach Larry Brown. "The college game is much more physical than our game. I always tease Michael [Jordan], if he played today, he'd average 50."

“The history book inspires them to be some of the best,” said Jordan. “Rules have changed to help them. I could have averaged 50 points today!”

"The defensive rules, the hand checking, the ability to make contact on a guy in certain areas .... [have] all been taken away from the game. If Kobe could get 81, I think Michael could get 100 in today's game." - Scottie Pippen January 2006

Craig Hodges is the Lakers shooting coach, get a look at what he said:
Q: If you could take one player in their prime, would you take Michael Jordan or Kobe?
A: M.J., all day. There's no comparison. M.J. could score 100 points in this era. You can't hand-check now. Imagine that trying to guard M.J. It would be crazy.

Hall of Famer Rick Barry, a keen observer of the game, said he would love to see players of the past getting to attack the basket under the new officiating. “They’d score a lot more,” he said.

Tex Winter said. "Players today can get to the basket individually much easier."

Asked if he could defend Jordan under today’s interpretation of the rules, Dumars first laughed, “It would have been virtually impossible to defend Michael Jordan based on the way the game’s being called right now.”

nice one... unsa kahay tubag ni grovestreet ani?

...kobe isn't even worthy enough to be mentioned in the same breath as MJ
