Logical conclusion: Michael Jordan destroys Kobe Bryant, and Kobe will never approach Jordan’s greatness.
After 11 seasons, Michael Jordan had more than 7500 more points, 1000 more assists, 1000 more rebounds, 1000 more steals, 300 more blocks, etc. etc. the list is endless. Of course he was a far better shooter as well, far more efficient, and achieved the league’s highest honors whereas Kobe has zeros across the board.
LOL you idiot. What is a more accurate measurement? Measuring based upon time in the league, or upon age? Take a guess you fool. Kobe entered the league at the age of 18. He was 4 years younger than Jordan. Time for bed, kid.
Kobe doesn’t have “potential” any more. He’s already entering the tail end of his prime. He’s already played nearly 30000 minutes. He has shown himself to be a ballhog, and because of that, he loses. He shoots 45%, which is nowhere close to 50% if you understand how stats work. Kobe shoots worse than his own team. Kobe shoots the league average percentage. And yet he doesn’t pass the ball. That’s why we use numbers to back up observation, and not just bullshit speculation. He is not, nor will he ever be close to the greatest players of all time.

And no, Kobe’s skill is not close to Mike’s. He has talent, no doubt, but he can’t do anything like Mike. He also doesn’t have the drive to get better and win that Mike had.
What the hell are you talking about? It is MUCH EASIER to SCORE in the current league. The modern league is designed to promote offense because it returns popularity and profits… popularity and profits that were lost when Jordan retired. The no-hand checking rules, the ridiculous travel violations that are allowed, the offensive charges, the defensive fouls called on every play that stars like Kobe, Wade and LeBron drive to the basket… the toughest defenses were all from the 80s and 90s, and also the slowest paced era was the 90s. There wasn’t even a fucking flagrant foul when Jordan played in the 80s. Jordan posted what he wanted when he wanted and there wasn’t a damn thing anyone could do about it.

Even with these super soft today, Kobe still needs 40 shots to score 50 points. That’s inefficient. That’s called being a ballhog.

Phil Jackson: “If Michael played with today’s rules, he’d average 45.”
