magicbalala245 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Sorry, Kobe. President Barack Obama was asked straight out on Thursday: Kobe or Michael? As in, who's the best? Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant, a four-time NBA champion? Or the basketball legend to whom he is most often compared, Michael Jordan, who retired as a six-time champ with the Chicago Bulls and is widely regarded as the best player of all time? "Oh, Michael," Obama answered in an interview with The Associated Press. "I mean, Kobe's terrific. Don't get me wrong," Obama said. "But I haven't seen anybody match up with Jordan yet." Obama, a basketball fan who hails from Chicago, is certainly no Lakers hater. He picked Bryant's team to defeat the Orlando Magic in the finals this year, and he was right.

kingfish Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 And where has Lebron's name been mentioned before kingfish? *insert face here*I was just sayin people compare Lebron and Wade to MJ and they have even fewer rings, but those comparsions seem to be ok. Nothin to see here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted July 2, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 It has little to do with rings. Dwyane Wade led a team to a championship. LeBron hasn't. James is still the better player. It has more to do with all of the individual achievements and Jordan's superior defensive skills. If you take away his MVP's, defensive awards AND maybe one championship, you have a very damn good argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcstarheel Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Of course he hasn't surpassed Jordan. But, Kobe's career isn't over yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
