Whose Better in their prime? Kobe or Jordan?

Easily Kobe, sure Jordan has more titles, but Kobe is bigger, stronger, and plays against tougher defenders, stats show he has a higher career shooting average plus he kicks butt compared to Mike also 2 words... 81 what do you think??

you obviously didn't see Jordan play
he played against harder defense's tougher defenders
he also was a great defender and was on the all defensive team more than once
He also was on the all NBA 1st team ,NBA MVP,All star MVP, Defensive Player of the year and all defensive 1st team in one year ('88).
Don't get me wrong Kobe is good but not on Jordan's level.

? This post should have NEVER have been created?
It was obviously Jordan

Jordan....
You know the Hack-a-shaq? Hack-a-howard...
JOrdan also experienced much of this.
Where now in my opinion Kobe is a pampered superstar that gets every calll...dont get me wrong Kobe is SICK!
But the closest to Jordan would be Lebron but i dont event think Lebron is in his Prime....is he?

Jordan for sure.

lebron is far from his prime
give him 2-3 more seasons

jordan...period...end of story.

nobody has the ability to take over a game when it matters with
your team down in the 4th quarter.

all valid reasons but i think kobe still, he does bit** alot and he's a cry baby but when he's on he's imppossible 2 stopp... so pretty much majority votes MJ but im still stickin with Kobe

what kind of a stupid post is this
jordan was OBVIOUSLY better than kobe in his prime.

k why was he better , just sayin hes bettter doesnt meen hes better... k good example: Steve Nash or Bob Cousy??? i would say cousey cuz he helped evolve the game..

I will answer this question when Kobe retires. Until then... you can't compare.

Kobe out of his prime right now!! and the answer has to be Jordan

Wow this is a DUMB post, how can u compare Jordans prime to Kobe's prime? Jordan who had the best prime out of any player to EVER enter the nba, and comparin it to Kobe? It would be understandable if u compared it to like Magics prime, or Larry's prime, maybe even Steve Francis' prime cuz he was UNGUARDABLE at 6'2? And he could do everything Jordan could, including knocking down game winners. Why Kobe?

Ok... the above post made total sense until Steve Francis was mentioned.

I hope you're totally being sarcastic because that is f'n hilarious... slipping in Steve Francis with Magic, Larry, Michael and Kobe... I'm still crackin up!

Naw i added Steve Francis to prove the stupidity of this post, cuz Steve had just as much skill as Kobe, and was a better passer, blocker, and were the same defensive wise. The only difference is that Steve didnt have nearly as much success as kobe did, but comparing Jordans prime to Kobe's prime, is just dumb. Kobe is only favoured because of his 81 points, and because of that he is called the "best" in the game, Wilt scored 100, but he was only considered the best in his time, not the best of all time. Based on all the garbage i hear bout ball, when people give reasons for Kobe being the best, is because he's the best scorer? No disrespect to Kobe, but since scorin is the ONLY thing that matters, then Kareem-Abdul Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, and Allen Iverson should be the best in history, so this just shows that the reasoning on why players are the best are flawed, and I know people say Kobe's the best ONLY because of his scoring.

(No disrespect to Kobe, but Kobe's my 3rd favourite player behind Penny Hardaway, and Steve Francis)
