Who was/is the Better Basketball Player Michael Jordan, or Kobe Bryant?
People who think Kobe is better are just kids. They probably began watch basketball post 2000 think that Kobe is the best. But Kobe also has a few advantages on the stats. Kobe played with a no-handcheck rule, defensive 3 second violation, and the restricted area. When asked how many point would Jordan have scored a game using today’s rules, Phil Jackson replied, “45.” In that case, Jordan would have scored 45 ppg and shot 60%. Pippen would be more accurate too, so more assists for Jordan. Being that Jordan was DPOY when people actually played defense, Jordan would have more blocks, steals, rebounds. Also because people actually played defense in Jordan’s days, Jordan would also now average less turnovers. Jordan has Kobe totally beat yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
