Jul 26, 2008 - i don't know if I would call them shit players lol... but i don't think that LeBron would have had the same success he is having in the 80's... Kobe, however, is one of the great players to play the game and he has a shot from the arc, which Jordan did not have, and he plays great D and hits free throws... so I don't know if you can say he wouldn't have had success in the 80's... In no way, shape, or form and I comparing MJ to Kobe because there is no comparison...

ldotg162426 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - but don't say Kobe wouldn't be successful and hate him because others are comparing him to MJ and saying he is better, he has said on many occasions that he doesn't want to be compared to the "greatest to ever play the game"... so look at Kobe as a great historic player and one of the greats... but not the greatest... which is MJ... to me...

Jul 26, 2008 - Kobe shoots 34% of three point range. MJ shot 32.7. This is hardly a significant difference, especially when you consider that the three point line in MJ's day was farther away from the basket than it is presently. I do agree, however, that Kobe is the best modern player. All the same, when Steve Nash is named MVP of your league, you know you have a problem on your hands. The NBA is simply not as competitive as it used to be. Dominique Wilkins > LeBron James.

Jul 26, 2008 - "especially when you consider that the three point line in MJ's day was farther away from the basket than it is presently."You have no clue what you're talking about. The line was moved in for two years at some point in the 90's and then it moved right back out. It was 23'9 for the majority of MJ's career and for all of Kobe's.

Jul 26, 2008 - Please think about what you are saying... Kobe shots a better percentage and Jordan shot 581/1778 3's in 15 years... Kobe has 1086/3192 in 12 years... so like I said Kobe is a better 3pt shooter than Jordan... and the 3pt line has never been moved in... sports don't make things easier as the college 3pt is being moved farther. And look at Nash's stats those seasons he was pretty great... not best but had an argument because without him the team sucked... and I think athletes are better but softr

Jul 26, 2008 - probably because they have breakaway rims now... which don't let you break the board lol...

redskullz124 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Do you seriously think Lebron wouldn't have been as successful in the '80s as he is now? That's a bit of a looney statement. Lebron is practically unguardable in today's NBA because of his physical abilities and if the average NBA player has quantifiably improved in any way, it has been in physical abilities (i.e. the average player is stronger, faster and jumps higher than the average player in the '80s). So if Lebron's physical advantage is so huge now, imagine how big it would have been then.

ldotg162426 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - We don't mean LeBron wouldn't have been a physical specimen, we mean that in the NBA (because of Michael Jordan) they now have flagrant fouls (because defenders in the 80's didn't get postered twice... they got even) Defensive 3 seconds (which clears the paint out and doesn't keep a pivot man under the basket[no Wilt's or Kareem's or Russell's or Akeem's, etc.]) and they would have sent him to the line a lot more than teams do... and he's not a good FT shooter... that's why...

thakidak Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Damn he had MAD SPRINGS!!!!! Den he broke tha backboard and made it rain on tha otha team!!!! lol DAMN SON!!!!

hiprocka Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - What don't you get: Michael shot 32.7% from three point range and Kobe shots 34%. This is not a significant difference, especially since the line was farther away from the basket when Michael jordan played. If you don't believe me, look it up for yourself.

ldotg162426 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - i'm saying that Kobe made almost as many 3's as Jordan attempted... so Kobe is more of a 3pt shooter... and I've never heard that line farther back.... can you give me a website where thats on?

TJfromLP Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - obviously I knew a Kobe vs. Jordan debate would of come up...will the moderator close comments

bwink23 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Jordan = 854 games, 25.5% at 1.2 attempts 37 games, 40.3% at 5.8 attempts (stats DO NOT include the short 3-line years) Kobe = 125 games, 41.9% at 9.1 attempts 741 games, 29.7% at 2.8 attemptsKobe in games with 2 or less attempts, is 23.4%(101/432) for his career, Jordan is 23.3%(102/437) in games from 1986-1998 with two or less. Kobe is stellar in 14% of his games from 3, and way below par in 86% of his games on average.

bwink23 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Jordan in his prime, shot 35.2% from 3, 1984-1993, in the playoffs. Jordan shot 38.7%(55/142) in his first 3-peat run. Kobe shot 37.6%(58/154) in his three-peat. This is when the defenses were the stiffest, and kobe had many more easy looks with defenses collapsing on shaq,the finals MVP.

redskullz124 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Fair enough, the game is less physical than it used to be. However, the "defensive 3 seconds" rule actually replaced the "illegal defence" rule which was enforced to prevent teams from playing zone defence. So the game in the late '80s (once Jordan had established himself) and '90s was MUCH more isolation oriented. In that scenario, I think Lebron might have been even more unstoppable than he is now. And he's still only 23. If he works on his FTs like he did on his 3's...

redskullz124 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - While I agree about the 3fg% difference being practically negligible, the 3pt line was not further away than it is now, 23'9". It was moved in to 22' briefly, for one season in the '90s I think, but then promptly moved back out.

MackLifeMixTapes Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - who else was in this game besides Jordan?. any other famous b-ballers?

ldotg162426 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - well you make arguements but they don't really work... although 3 seconds replaced illegal d, there are significant differences. 3 seconds you have to be within a arm length of a offensive player, illegal d you had 5 seconds and you didn't have to be close to anyone and could stand wherever as long as it wasn't 5 seconds... and LeBron has actually been worse from 3pt the last 3 years, barely shoots 70 percent from FT. How unstoppable is he when he can't even win a finals. im a clevelander btw...

redskullz124 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - The illegal defense rule did not rely on 5 seconds for anything. Illegal D could be called at ANY time if a ref thought a team was playing zone defense. The defensive 3-second rule prevents a defender from camping INDEFINITELY in the paint when there isn't an opponent within arms distance. The practical upshot is that with zone defenses being allowed in the current NBA penetrating and finishing at the hoop (James and Jordans forte) becomes harder.
