I recorded this in the spring of 2007..
...
NOTICE--Just stop now. I don't care how much Kobe's shot attempts remind you of Jordan, I don't care how good of a job Kobe did at copying Jordan.... Most of you assholes who say Kobe is as good as Jordan didn't even watch Jordan on a game by game basis in the 80's or early 90's when Jordan was at his best. Back in that era you had to live in Chicago like me if you really wanted to see all of MJ's games. Most of the people who watched the NBA in that era didn't even get to watch Jordan on a game by game basis. So if you are one of those who saw Jordan from 1995 and on, your opinion means shit. I only put stock into youtube users who actually have viewed the game for a long period of time, and I don't mean posers. The day you see "hoopsencyclopedia" say Kobe is better than Jordan, that's the day you know it's true. The day you see Bruce Blitz, Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, and Hubie Brown all saying Kobe is better, than ok. I don't know why you shitheads think your opinion holds any validity when you didn't even watch Jordan's career properly. You can watch 1,000 youtube videos, you are too late, if you didn't see MJ in his prime, it's too late. You will never see him in his prime on a game by game basis which means you simply cannot accurately represent his greatness.... also, flashes of brilliance and the "mirage" that you can do things Jordan did "at will" do not prop you up to Jordan status. Jordan status is a sustained level of brilliance for your entire career basicly. Kobe will never approach Jordan's greatness and I invite you to research every single page on this website if you really want to see how big the gap is between the two:

Even if Kobe wins an MVP this year, which is still in doubt, Kobe will never catch Jordan's MVP total as far as his finals MVP's are concerned or league MVP's. Jordan was so dominant year in and year out that he racked up 5 league MVPs and 6 finals MVPs.
Kobe will never approach Jordan's career averages in any major category.
There will be an even bigger separation between Kobe and Jordan's career playoff averages than you will see in the regular season averages. Teams key on players like Kobe and Jordan in the playoffs, while Kobe's production drops in the playoffs compared to his career regular season production, Jordan's production goes up.
Jordan averaged over 30 points per game for his career and Kobe only has 2 years over 30 points per game. Jordan averaged 33.45 points per game in the playoffs for his career, which is another career average that most players will have no chance of passing. Kobe's career average in the playoffs is actually less than 24 points per game. Do a google search when you have time.
Jordan won one defensive player of the year award, even though he deserved at least 3.
Jordan won an amazing 10 scoring titles, which is a microcosm of his sustained dominance, and he won 6 of his scoring titles while making over 50% of his shot attempts which is amazing for a perimeter player.
The Jordan legacy is so rich that it is going to be virtually impossible to pass it. To quote unquote pass Jordan, you will need 11 scoring titles, 6 league MVPs, 7 finals MVPs, 31 points per game or higher and great all around career regular season averages, you will need to average 34 points per game or more in the playoffs for your career with great all around averages, you will need a season over 37 points per game as well as a season of 32 points per game to go with 8 rebounds and 8 assists. These are the basic goals a player will need to reach to eclipse Jordan's greatness.
What's the number 1 difference between Kobe and MJ? Missed shots. Just check career fg%, that's all you need to know when judging who is the more unstoppable scorer. It always comes back to your floor shooting % (fg%).
