Phil Jackson: MJ was better than KOBE Bryant

[Left Hook Tua]

Jordan the leader that would punch his teammates in practice?


people love Jordan because once the other powerhouses at the time (Showtime, green turds, Bad Boys), faded away, there was nothing else but the Bulls...he took advantage of aggressive marketing by Nike and a weak era

jordan era was weak.

great 80's team got old.

talent pool was dilluted by free agency, new salary cap and team expansion.

plus bulls got to load up because financial genius pippen was the manny pacquiao of nba contract negotiations.

[The Tase]

that's fine if you think he is but list why please.

skills. let's go over it one by one.

the OP according to phil jackson pretty much sums it up.

You list them, you're the one going against the grain here. Make your case for kobe.

its still better than kobe and shaq's era when they won titles.

look at who jordan faced in the finals and look at who shaq/kobe, kobe/gasol faced.

its laughable. there's no comparison.

you hypin up the Blazers, Suns and Jazz? teams that Showtime feasted on?


please...let's not act like Jordan was facing ATG teams in the finals either


in fact, when he DID run into ATG teams (before they got old), the Celts and BAd Boys would annually send Jordan to an early vacation

actually, the Celtics team with Pierce, KG and Allen that the Lakers beat is greater than ANY of the teams Jordan faced in the Finals

you don't understand. so i'll try to explain a little.

the nba expanded 5-6 teams and changed salary cap restrictions right before bulls era.

these dilluted overall talent of teams across the board.

not really a case of "OH THIS TEAM PLAYED THESE STARS AND THEY'RE BETTER THAN THOSE STARS"

other eras played with same deck whatever that deck maybe.

why did 90's bulls have an advantage? because pippen was a moron.

Magic Johnson has said it. Now Phil.

Guess it's going to take the Lord wearing a friggin Lakers jersey to tell it to let it sink in.

Yes.

Jordan>Kobe.

Now i'm going to leave this thread before I get mega power bombed by Tua, Mak, and Dubbzz.
