Who is better Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant? Jordan boasts six NBA Championships but Bryant is close with five. Many would claim that Jordan is the best basketball player in any given time but Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Jennings would beg to disagree. According to Jennings, Kobe was the best of all time and that Jordan had a better supporting cast that's why he made more rings than Bryant. Here are some of the actual words he said on Tweeter:
Micheal Jordan had more "Help" winning his rings then Kobe.
Kobe Had Shaq. MJ had Pippen, Dennis, Ron Harper, Horace Grant, Steve Kerr, Toni Kukoc, John Paxson, B. J. Armstrong.
MJ never won without Pippen. Kobe won 2 rings without another great on his team. Kobe is The Goat
He even told people on Tweeter to unfollow him if they want to fight over his comments. Perhaps Jennings was convince that Bryant was better than Jordan because he had the luxury of playing against Kobe in the NBA? He did admit such bias saying "I'm all about who I see LIVE I guess. Kobe is the GOAT of this generation."
Both Bryant and Jordan have similar styles in playing Basketball in the 2-guard position and can take over games when ever they want. Both can post up, shoot the mid range jumper with great accuracy, and attack the rim in a unique balance of finesse and physicality. In fact, you might just be surprised how similar they really are in terms of style in playing basketball as what USA Today reveals.
The debate on Kobe Bryant vs. Michael Jordan has been raging on for quite some time. In terms of NBA awards and achievements, Jordan has more but any one can argue that Bryant has a better overall offensive game than Jordan. Bryant can shoot the ball from anywhere on the floor while Jordan was not known as a lethal three point threat in his entire career. But as Brian Chen of Bleacher report writes:
Micahel Jordan or Kobe Bryant?
Sadly, it's a question that will never truly be answered because the two stars didn't play against each other in their primes. However, it's always fun to hear the opinions of others, especially those of NBA players.
Indeed it would simply be hard to know whether or not Kobe Bryan is better than Michael Jordan and vice versa because both stars played in different generations. We could only speculate and debate on whos better between the two.
