Like Mike, Only Better... (for you HT)

He is probably a better defender and better shooter.

 

That is debatable...

That is debatable...

Its all debatable lol. Its just how I see it and no matter what most won't even give it the time of day you have given it just simply because they love MJ and love to hate Kobe.

Nice work!!! MJ's numbers are better which I figured they were but I still think Kobe is a better scorer and maybe not yet better overall player.

[youknowme]

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Kobe has been in the league 10 years now. He turns 29 years old this coming August. How many more seasons do you think he has left? How many more seasons does he have left at being offensively dominant like he is now?

[Hangman]

Methinks you did more work for MJ than you did for Kobe.

[youknowme]

Methinks you did more work for MJ than you did for Kobe.

 

Maybe because Kobe's "Career" is not over..:thumb:

And he turns 29 this coming August.

MJ was better in every category but one. I can't help but think of when Kerr and Paxson with their shots...I don't think Kobe would've looked their way...Actually Paxon's was after a Horace Grant pass, that Horace got from MJ.
