Who will go down as the greater player Kobe Bryant or Larry Bird?

[SonnyG8R]

noone is better than Magic...that can't be a knock on Kobe

Jordan......

The Trojans will be in the thick of it for sure. I still hate that Lane Kiffin but he's built a good staff around him and they continue to get top notch recruits. I'd love to see Urban Meyer have a mental breakdown on the sidelines during a national televised game, lol. Florida is destined for another down year, but I still think Bama and LSU are the teams to beat.

still can't believe he's at Ohio State


what do you think about the 4 team playoff system?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Jordan......

Jordan can't play all 5 positions and didn't win a title in his rookie year...Magic has done so and has won titles with more than just 1 coach

I love it. It's about time. I just hope they stick to the 4 best teams regardless of conference. It'll be even better when they expand to 8-16 teams.

that's the key thing for me...i dont want a 3rd of 4th team being thrown in just so that some conference gets represented

if its 4 SEC, PAC 10 or whatever teams then so be it

Reggie Miller
Tim Duncan
Jason Kidd
Chris Weber
Scottie Pippen
Dwight Howard
Pierce, Garnett, Allen
Steve Nash


ALL of the guys Kobe went against to get titles and you conveniently highlight Iverson's sorry ass...good job

Yeah cuz those guys are so much better than...


Kareem Abdul Jabarr
Magic Johnson
Dominique Wilkinson
Michael Jordan
Hakeem Olajuan
Dr J/ Moses Malone/ Barkley
Isaiah Thomas
Clyde Drexler


I mentioned Iverson because he is the only superstar to face Kobe in those first Final runs. WEAK. Give Larry Bird a prime Shaq and hes going 8 for 8 rings in that weak pathetic era.

Jordan went 6 for 6 in finals appearances, including the Bulls undressing of Magic, Worthy, and the Lakers in the 1991 NBA Finals.

Jordan 5x NBA MVP, 6x NBA Finals MVP, third leading scorer in NBA history while retiring for 2 years during his prime. The Bulls dominated the 90's and won 6 titles in 8 years, if not for Jordan's retirement the Buls might have had 8 titles. Here's a list of some of the players Jordan went through to win titles:

Magic Johnson
Isaiah Thomas
Joe Dumars
Charles Barkley
Kevin Johnson
James Worthy
Patrick Ewing
Reggie Miller
Shaquille O'neal
Panny Hardaway
Karl Malone
John Stockton
Gary Payton
Shawn Kemp
Clyde Drexler

Jordan went 6 for 6 in finals appearances, including the Bulls underssing of Magic, Worthy, and the Lakers in the 1991 NBA Finals.

You mean he undressed a bunch of old dudes masquerading as the Showtime Lakers.

this is what you get when you try to compare MJ to other superstars

you get bombarded with statistics & achievements improbable to anyone else

yep, they're only the shell of what has been the greatest offensive force known as "Showtime"

but still a solid contender, defeating powerhouse Portland who appeared previous finals against Detroit
