Dude, you're the one who's trippin'. I'm a Knick fan...no one hates Jordan more than me. But to say Kobe's on Michael's level is insanity.
....and Barry Sanders is the fourth greatest running back in NFL history. No one, I repeat NO ONE, can match Jim Brown, one of the greatest athletes this country ever produced. | |

Actually......I'd take Walter Payton over Jim, but I still love Jim's game. | |

If THAT is the case, then Dononique Wilkins is greater that Larry Bird. And we both know that is pure bullshit (despite that 'Nique was a better scorer than Bird at the height of their rivalry). Bird has 3 rings & a gold metal. 'Nique has neither. | |

Look at the numbers Brown put up, in a 12-game season and a more physical NFL. Sick.
Brown, OJ, Sweetness, Barry, Sayers and Earl Campbell are my holy grail of NFL backs. | |

At least Bill Wennington could dunk. Remember Michael's game winning assist pass to Bill against the Knicks?!? | |

It's more my fault. I just had to prove my point in telling them why Michael is greater than Wilt (IMO). | |

First off, there is no "may" about it, he is. Secondly, skill-wise, he's surpassed MJ. Thirdly, I'd rank him ahead of MJ. You can call me "ROC" for short | |

No, read it again - I never said he didn't face a great center, I said he never faced a great center in the NBA FINALS. And he didn't. So that is true. You can call me "ROC" for short | |

No, most of those that can't imagine anyone being better than their beloved MJ are sprung. I call them "MJsexuals" . You can call me "ROC" for short | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Not sure what your point is? No one's asking that question. No one's disputing that at all. All I'm saying is that it's fact that MJ never faced a great center in the NBA Finals. Fact. You can call me "ROC" for short | |

What does you being a Knick fan have to do with claiming Kobe ain't even on MJ's level? You can hate the dude but still be caught up in the "MJ era".
And Barry is the GOAT. Had Barry played in Jim's era - 2,700 YDS EVERY DAMN SEASON . You can call me "ROC" for short | |

Brown was great. But don't act like his level of competition man-vs-man was on the level the athletes are today. A DE like Javon Kearse would've gained 2,000 yards back then, there were no Javon Kearses when Brown rolled out. Brpwn was a freak of nature back then, but today he'd have to deal with LBs as big and as fast as he was. You can call me "ROC" for short | |

Oh, he's STILL that. You can call me "ROC" for short | |

How this DOESN'T put Kobe on MJ's level is beyond me:
More:
NBA records Even mo!
Los Angeles Lakers franchise records And I saved this last record JUST for you, UptowNY
Again, ANYONE claiming Kobe ain't on MJ's level is just hatin'. Simple as that. You can call me "ROC" for short | |

Bill could've been replaced with player X or Y . . . . hell, he was Z. Jordan won championships, 6 championship without a center. As I said before, THE END. | |

True. It would have been nice to see him in the Finals against Houston one of those years and that's not to say MJ wouldn't have won. Don't laugh at my funk

He didn't face one in the Finals, but the Bulls did in the Eastern Conference Playoffs. He had to go up against Ewing and the Knicks and a Young Shaq in Orlando. JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!! | |

Now i agree with you on Kobe being on MJ's level but Barry Sanders being the GOAT. Hell to the naw. Now he was a great back but i would have even taken Emmitt over him and i'm not a Cowboys fan in no way shape or form. And he wasn't the greatest either. Barry was good at hitting the home run play but he often would get hit in the backfield for a loss. Barry wasn't a chain mover the way Emmitt was but he would always make that spectacular play. Emmitt could do both and was a much better blocker than Sanders. Emmitt was just a better all around runner than Barry. For the record as far as running backs i've seen play in my lifetime, Walter Payton was the best. My favorite to watch was Eric Dickerson. If he wouldn't have played prima donna with the Rams he would've have broken all of Payton's records first. Eric Dickerson was so smooth he looked like he was jogging while defenders chased him. Don't laugh at my funk

Michael Jordan would have had a better performamce than Kobe did in that Game 7. Not hatin', just sayin'....
Jordan is one of the top two greatest NBA players of all time. I can't put Kobe there - above Oscar, Kareem, Magic, Bird, West? Hell no!!!
Kobe stans are just as nutty as Jordan stans. I see this nonsense at other sites, and it's mostly younger cats. [Edited 8/21/10 22:19pm] | |
