Jordan is better. Here are my reasons. First he went to college and got an education and played college ball. college ball stresses teamwork more than the NBA does. When Jordan left NC and went pro, he was able to work with other members of the team and play better. He had some great teammates, like Scottie and Rodman, but he was just an all around great player.\n\nDoes Kobe have talent? Yes. Is he a good player? No. He doesnt work well with others, he cant handle the media, and it seems like the only guy that can control him is Phil Jackson. Since Jackson coached Jordan, there is a possibility that Kobe will get better as a true team player. But for now, the greatest of all time is Mike.

It has to be Michael Jordan. He's remember for all the things he has done. His defense, his winning pose and his ability to stay in the air. Wad more can i add?? His Championship won, the scoring tittle, MVPS, Two three peats NBA Championship. Till now, he is still being idolized by many, also his shoes are still in great sales. that's how great Michael Jordan is. Michael Air Jordan Rocks!

No, other players have been better. Jordan happened to dominate (with a perfectly formed image) after Bird and Magic helped make the NBA very popular.\n\nI'd say Chamberlain, B. Russell, and Magic were all better than Jordan. There are probably others, but it's very difficult to compare players from different eras.\n\nAlso, Jordan was a big crybaby who got every call, but still managed to call and play the refs all game. But boy was he good at 1) creating his image and 2) making incredible shots, especially at crunch time.

They would both be blowouts.  Jordan schools Bryant because of his smarts and the bulls dominate Detroit because of Jordan and Pippen the greatest combo ever.

IOE got it right here... it's ridiculous to mindlessly say that 'no one will ever be as good as Jordan' (especially when several players in NBA history ARE better than him...\n\nMost sportwriters said we'd never see anyone better at going to the hoop than Julius Erving...that is, until Jordan came along... (MJ WAS better than Dr. J).\n\nTo the poster who said that Kobe can't be mentioned with Jordan until HE wins 6 rings... guess that means we don't have to mention Jordan in the same breath with Bill Russell any more, since Russell won 11 champsionships... heck, Michael would have to play a whole 'nother career to pick up another 5 or 6 rings to tie or pass Russell.\n\nJohn Havlicek won 8 rings, and was a better clutch player on both ends of the court than Jordan was... But we can't mention Jordan in the same breath with Hondo, until Jordan comes out of retirement and wins at least 2 more rings.\n\nWhere do these idiots get the idea that six championships is some kind of record?? It's not even close...

yes. im not sure, but have u SEEN this kids numbers? he averages more then 30 points, 7 rebounds , and 6 assists a game. THATS CRAZY! actually, i would say jordan is better but i think this kid in a couple of years might average a triple- double.

It is a difficult question. Kobe certainly relies on the jump shot for more of his points, but I don't think that Jordan scored the majority of his points within 15 feet of the rim like you say. Both these players are masters of the pull up jump shot, and both are not very good three point shooters (around 37% on average). I would have to give Michael Jordan the edge due to the fact that he had better shot selection than Kobe shows now and an overall better field goal percentage, which is a key aspect of whether a person is a good shooter.

On paper, it really looks like Kobe Bryant is the better player because of his accomplishments and natural athletic talent.  But taking everything into consideration, I believe that Allen Iverson is the better player.\n\nIverson is an enigma.  A 6'0'' guard who is fourth all-time in season scoring averages.  He has played though many injuries where others may have faltered.  At 30, he has refined his game (and become more of a point guard) and still continues to be as effective and as productive as he was in his 20's.\n\nHope this helps.

Kobe is BETTER then michael jordan, maybe not in stats but if you play michael jordan in his best season and kobe in his, Kobe would win the game.... People say kobe is a ball hog and the reason for that is his teammates cant score, michael was also a ballhog....  also kobe wasnt born with basketball skills he had to work through it lebron and jordan were. Kobe worked hard to become as good as he is.. Also if lebron has shaq right now he wouldnt be avering these numbers. Kobe had shaq when shaq was at his bestt!!!

Pure skill does not exist in a vacuum. Michael Jordan was a team player, an important intangible not covered by statistics. Kobe might have some moves, but he is abrasive and tactless.

Kobe....better shooter, taller (6'7' vs 6'0) and could take Iverson inside all day... Frankly, I don't think it would be close...
