Does he really believe what he's saying. "During the time time Jordan was winning rings the big man dominated in the NBA such as Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing, Barkley…etc The only other players that was Jordan size in that era and postion that averaged over 20 points were Reggie Miller and Clyde Drexler. Neither one of these players were even close to winnig a MVP trophey. Majic, Larry, and Dumars were done win Jordan won his rings. Jordan went in the finals guarding players like Bryon Russel who never had a 30 point game in his NBA career. Bryon Russsel in todays League would of been riding the bench. Kobe has to compete against future hall of famers such as Pierce, Allen, Lebron, Carmelo, D Wade, T-mac, Kevin Durant, Micheal Red, the list goes on ..Just about every team today has at least one all star that can score 30 on any given night" Does he realized how badly David Stern impacted the game with eliminating the 'hand-check' and making defense far less physical than it was in Jordan's era?? If today's NBA rules were in the NBA back then, all of the players who he said wasn't even close to winning MVP would have been scoring more points and averaging better field goal percentages and quite possibly there would be a closer run at MVP (without Jordan in the league of course). And Jordan would have scored 60 every night!!! I can’t believe Realest. Does he really believe what he’s saying.

If MJ did not retire in that particular season the BULLS will have their 8 straight championship, and MJ could have his 12 straight scoring title. While Kobe started in NBA at the age of 18, earlier than MJ started his career in the NBA.

Michael Jordan is a whole lot better than me. He is the best. Why? I only have 4 championships. 3 with Shaq in the middle. I score 50 points in a series of games because I don't like to pass the ball. My competition is not as tough as people claim it is. Especially, when there are no great teams in the NBA, just great players. MJ had to beat great teams. The Celtics, the Lakers, the Blazers, the Suns; as well as Hall of Fame players. I am not even close to achieving as many accolades as MJ. as was previously mentioned: Jordan won the NCAA Award Year Regular Season MVP 1988, 91, 92, 96, 98 Finals MVP 1991, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98 Rookie of the Year 1985 All-NBA First Team 1987, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98 Defensive Player of the Year 1998 All-NBA Defensive First Team 1988, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 97, 98 NBA All-Star 1985, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98 All-Star Game MVP 1988, 96, 98 Slam Dunk champion 1987, 88 I am not a team player. I barely pass. I have fewer double/triple doubles. MJ even had one in an All-Star game. My sneakers, except for maybe the latest one with Nike, all suck. MJ's are still being collected to this day. I don't play defense. Ever. I save my energy for the game winning shot I have to miss in the 4th quarter. I will never get the respect that MJ had. 3 peat twice? HA. People think I am a better shooter. I don't think so. But if so. I've learned from the best. (MJ) I take stupid shots. I get lucky. But sometimes, I don't. I've never played with the flu. Nor will I ever win with a runny nose. I will never win 72 games. I will never lead the league in scoring and win defensive player of the year in the same season. I will never be Michael Jordan. Thanks for the support. I'm going to cry now. Bryant I’ll say it myself. Michael Jordan is a whole lot better than me. He is the best. Why?
