Michael Jordan vrs Kobe Bryant, who was better and why?

[FenoFutbol]

I runned through this conversation the other day at work.

I gave my points as big deal futbol player as i am but again i dont know much about basketball.

in my notes is just retarted to compared somebody to jordan, he was just the best, but again i may be wrong.

anybody has something to say about this one? any bk experts around here?

Michael Jordan was the all-around greatest ever player, but a huge part of his appeal came from the fact that he was very clean-clut and had a good-boy image(like Kobe Bryant until he was accused of rape.)

To me the master is Allen Iverson...

..best raw skills through and through. Alot of people hate him(along with Sprewel and Artest) because of their tough street personas, and the media will always hold up a player like Jordan, who goes along with the system, to players like them(just like the way FIFA holds up Pele as an exemplary player over Maradona because of their behaviors, even though many people think Maradona was better.

Kobe Bryant is just a bitch and I never liked him, although really good player.

And this is me:D

Seriously though, this is where the greatest ballers are, in housing projects in Detroit, Brooklyn, The Bronx, St. Louis, Philly, D.C., Newark, Oakland, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, etc. not in the NBA or NCAA(just like the greatest footballers are in the shantytowns of Rio, Buenos Aires, Paris, Lagos, etc. and many don´t make it pro.)

In middle and high school I used to spend hours on the court practicing this type of shit when I wasn´t practicing stepovers on the pitch. Study the and-1 tapes, then take it to the street to pull it off. Alot of people who I went up against on the court I´m sure could destroy half the players in the NBA one-on-one.

Agreed, Allen Iverson is the best ever for raw talent. His only let down is his size. If he was 4-6 inches taller, and had a bigger body mass, he would be right there next to Jordon as the all-time greatest.

As for Jordon or Kobe. I'd go with Jordon. I've never liked Kobe, but in saying that, you have to admit he does have skills. But overall, Jordon is better.

And as for street ballers v NBA......

I'd agree most NBA players would get destoyed one on one against street players. But then again most street players would not be as good playing in the NBA. I mean look at Rafer Alston, he was great on the street, but what has he done in the NBA??

Jordan was always credited with perfecting the dunk.

Kobe Bryant was tagged(as so many others) as the new jordan but never quite lived up to it. I will admit he does have some serious skills though...

Jordan was also a leader and motivator, while Kobe always had a hard time getting along with his teamates.

And as far as Rafer Alston I´ll always enjoy watching him, but he just couldn´t convert street skills into NBA talent.

You can see he goes overboard with the dribbling and ball handles with the Raptors, it slows the game down too much.

I like K.Bryant, mainly cause i was born in LA, and i like the lakers. But also cause he is mr. clutch he sensational i love him. He has so much critics on his back but he doesn't give a f' he just balls.

I always enjoyed Allen Iverson playing, he is def one of the greatest out there. How many times has Allen Iverson won the NBA? Just wondering.

What about Labron James and Carmelo Anthony, or Duncan? The first two are considered to be the next Jordan and Magic Jonhson, and Ducan has won it all too?
