Kobe VS Jordan who’s better?

Staff writer Cody Van Den Berg

Kobe Bryant is better than Michael Jordan because when Kobe first came into the league he was drafted out of high school. Another reason Kobe was the better is because when Kobe played his last game of his career, he scored sixty points and will be the only guy ever to do that.

          Now when people say you cannot win a championship unless you have guys around you. You cannot win a championship on your own Kobe had Shaq and Jordan had Pippen and Dennis Rodman. They both had Phil Jackson as head coach which also helped them win.

          If you look at the championships, they have won Jordan has six and Kobe has five. They were very loyal to their basketball teams and stayed on there teams for there whole career. You can also compare when they both played them, and Kobe got to square up with Jordan a few time’s in their career. Jordan told him Kobe is the hardest player I have ever had to play against and the only one who can beat me in a game of one on one. He says that because he copy’s my moves.

          Kobe is better than Jordan because Kobe had to play better competition in the NBA finals, he had to play the Boston Celtics for a lot of year’s and beat them. I can remember one-year Jordan had to play the sun’s in the NBA finals. The sun’s that year only had Charles Barkley so of course the Bulls won that series. That year Charles took the MVP from Jordan also and he did not even have the best team.

          You must put Kobe over Jordan because he always kept his noise clean, he never got into trouble. Jordan had a gambling problem. Jordan also had a problem when he came into the league, he could not beat anyone it took him a lot of year’s to finally get past the Detroit Pistons. I firmly believe if Jordan did not play the piston’s early in his career, I believe he would not be a hall of famer the reason Jordan became good is he was preparing for Detroit. Kobe mindset had a mamba mentality he would be up two games to zero in a series and he would say what is there to be happy about the job is not finished. Kobe was born a star out of high school and knew what to expect coming into the league he was different than Jordan. I still want to say Jordan would never score sixty points in his last career game. Jordan would also retire all the time and get health and come back. Kobe never took anytime out he would be out there every night unless he would blow out his knee.
