No. What I was referring to that Kobe Bryant has done that Michael Jordan hasn't is part scoring wise. He has also had to overcome more adversity than even Jordan could have dreamed of. Think about the hell of new media, who knows how Jordan would have handled that. Now a days, there isn't any statistic that we can't look up with Kobe, we analyze him with remarkable scrutiny. That is a lot to handle.
I could name 100 reasons why Jordan is better than Kobe off the top of my head without research. Leading your team to a 72 and 12 record with a championship is probably the single most dominant display of superiority since the Celtics in the 50's-60's. Nevertheless, that isn't the point of this thread, and I'm sadly uninformed about pre-80's basketball. Averaging a triple double definitely says a lot about a player, but how many championships did Oscar win?
Kobe will more than likely pass Jordan and Wilt for points, but nowhere near their pace.
Kobe will also probably pass Jordan for rebounds and assists. Don't ask me how this is possible.
1. Kareem
2. Jordan
3. Wilt
I might agree with that Pierce statement, but Pierce has never averaged 40 points per game in the finals. Jordan had a great team around him, until the fourth quarter, that is when it was the Jordan show.
Maybe, I am missing something. Kobe pretty much dominated the league for the last decade though. If he can continue it for a couple more years, he has to be seriously considered for top five, if he can't, then no.
Stop calling me a bandwagon jumper! I didn't even know the Celtics were going to be this good when I first started watching them. We have seen allstar teams fail miserably. The transitions that had to be made for them to win that championship are FUCKING amazing. Ray Allen was use to touching the ball every possession. Paul Pierce didn't even know the power forward position existed. Kevin Garnet forgot what winning was like. It just so happens, the pieces fit, and I was able to route for a a great team, if they sucked, I wouldn't watch as often, but I'd still watch. I know that you're just fucking around with me. I still want to put that down as fact, for the record, for the last time.
