Uh oh, Surfah has even more ammo now. This writer states that Kobe has been better than MJ.

I also disagree with her assesment of MJ and Kobe, but I have no strong feelings one way or the other. Last edited by YOhio; 03-27-2007 at 02:29 AM. |

The NBA is even more watered down now than it was 10 years ago with all the offensive minded Euros that are in the league today. And as good as MJ was, there is no way in hell that his championship years would have gotten out of the East, let alone win it all in the 70s and 80s. I laughed at her revisionist comment. Perhaps is she would get her head out of Kobe's backside, she'd see reality. Kobe is great, but he's no MJ. And to be fair, MJ is/was no Bill Russell.

 Good read. Here's two more great articles from last season when Kobe had his outbursts. It really is too bad that people can't set aside their disdain for a player to not enjoy the feats he is accomplishing right now. It Has Happened by Scoop Jackson Kobe Can Transform Himself by Bill Simmons

Kobe is a guy that is a tremendous basketball talent. I just don't like him as a person. Kind of how syracoug hates me as a person, but I think my hate for Kobe is less.

More thoughts about Kobe:
I think his adultery is genetic. Not that I'm saying that his dad was an adulterer, but JellyBean Bryant was teammates with Dr. J in Philly and Kobe plays more like Dr. J than JellyBean. It also came out after his career that Dr. J was not the family man he wanted everyone to believe. I just put 2 and 2 together and......
