    And your comment is …
    And your comment is still stupid……Shaq didn’t make , stop being ignorant…..It is stupid how you idiots find ways to knock Kobe.
    Kobe holds 33 Laker franchise records and your telling me Shaq made the Lakers??? Kobe shouldnt be compared to Jordan, but saying he has only won one championship is retarded.

    I guess Oscar Robertson has never won a championship by your logic because he certainly wasn’t the best player on his team, it was Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

    Did you read the …
    Did you read the comment I was responding to? I wasn’t talking about the Lakers as a franchise, I was referring to the Lakers team that won three NBA championships with Shaq and Kobe. I thought that was obvious. I was making the point that Kobe won three of this four championships as a sidekick. We should be comparing him to Scottie Pippen not Michael Jordan.

  3. FreshPrinceof973 says:

    Your a dumbass. ” …
    Your a dumbass. “Shaq made the Lakers”….And exactly how old r you???

    So you have never heard of legends like George Mikhan, Jerry West, Magic Johnson, Kareem abdul Jabbar, Elgin Baylor, etc…….Keep stupid comments like that to yourself so you dont get embarrased.

  5. romanator14 says:

    Shaq made the …
    Shaq made the Lakers. Kobe has only won one NBA championship as the best player on his team. Michael is still up 5 as far as I’m concerned.

  6. PnoyGamur24 says:

    kobe said it jordan …
    kobe said it jordan is better than him and there is still people hating on him what does people want kobe to do so the comparison and the hate stop he says he is not better than jordan and jordan is the greatest. not kobe not lebron but michael jordan is the greatest basket ball player ever

    two are great

    two are great
    micheal made the bulls and kobe makes the lakers
    but as kobe said micheals just michael

  9. sopa71479 says:

    kobe has played …
    kobe has played with more HOF’s then MJ. Kobe has played with Shaq, Malone, Payton and Rice. its no wonder why he has four rings is because he was traded to a championship contender team since he was a rookie. MJ was drafted to team of nobodys. BTW at 30 MJ was 3x Champ 7x scoring Champ 3x Steals Champ 3x MVP 3x Finals MVP in only 9 seasons (in reality only 8 because he sat 66 game in 2nd year due to injury) has Kobe come closes to that in 13 seasons? I dont think so

  10. sopa71479 says:

    not even close dude …
    not even close dude how is kobe the great player ever when he isnt even the greatest laker ever?

  11. sopa71479 says:

    Yes MJ was crossed …
    Yes MJ was crossed by Iverson in 1PLAY, you make it seem like it was a nightly thing BTW MJ was 34 at the time and many experts (Phil Jackson, Larry Brown, Clyde Drexler, Scottie Pippen and many others ) have gone on record saying MJ would be able to score 40-45ppg in the current league because you can not put a hand on player on the perimeter . BTW wasnt Iverson shut down by Tyrone Lue in the NBA finals!!! ANd yes MJ was that good

  12. Jonatan3Hvidsten333 says:

    Kobe: “you’re just …
    Kobe: “you’re just talking about the greatest that’ve ever played the game”
    Kobe even knows Jordan is the greatest ever.

  13. tumachi1992 says:

    You must be …
    You must be retarded. Shaquille Oneal or ing scotty pippen and dennis rodman. You act like KuKoc and Horus grant were amazing. If it wasnt for jordan those players were nothing he did it all for them. Kobe has Pau and ing ariza and odom thats one of the best teams ever embled so you obvciously have kobes dick in ur colon which causes u to talk cause you dont know anything. His playoff career numbers are 36 points with 7 rebounds and close to 8 ists. GOAT plain and simple

  14. Rza06 says:

    @ looozoool

    kobe: …
    @ looozoool

    kobe: “your talking about the greatest to every play the game’

    his word > then your fanboyish dreams

    mj=goat sorry kobe stans

  15. waihong001 says:

    you’re right, he is better than lebron, but noone is better than mike

  16. looozoool says:

    yes he is

    kobe is …
    yes he is

    kobe is the greatest ever

  17. looozoool says:

    Jordan had fellow …
    Jordan had fellow HOFs Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman.

    Kobe had Shaq.

    Jordan without Pippen, Rodman, Kerr, KuKoc, Grant, Jordan has ZERO out of FIVE winning seasons, ONE playoff win, ZERO Rings

    Kobe without Shaq has FOUR out of FIVE winning seasons, Dozens of playoff wins, TWO Conference Championships, and ONE Finals.

    And the guy is ONLY 30? years old and has 4 rings when at the same age Jordan had 3.

    This isnt your dads NBA. More and better competition today. Sorry.

  18. evandroferreiradanie says:

    No, he is not
    I am …

    No, he is not
    I am a Kobe fan and I see the reality.
    Kobe is better than Lebron, but not better than MJ

  19. YoungBeta says:

    a Kobe hater at his …
    a Kobe hater at his best

  20. Tmoua says:

    Bitch is you …
    is you retarded MJ in this era would be slapped around. Look at MJ vs Iverson. Allen Iverson crossed Mj and send him out of his career a loss on his last day. No way would MJ average 40pts a game you know how good you gotta be and how much of a ball hog you have to be to do that? MJ VS KOBE Both of them a different player. Like i believe Bill russel winning more than 10 rings is the best player why? All that ring is almost an NBA players Career an nba player win almost all his years

  21. iloveterry23 says:

    u crazy kobe aint …
    u crazy kobe aint shyt lebron is next after michael chicago all day nigga

  22. looozoool says:

    better than jordan

  23. tyrusch says:

    if you honestly …
    if you honestly believe a Kobe is better than Jordan your the most uninformed dumbass in the world. what an idiot. hahahahahah

  24. skinamarinky22 says:

    shut the up …
    shut the up man, theres no doubt in my mind and there sure as aint any doubt in kobes mind that he will be better than michael by the time his career is done .. kobes the best, and therefore hes humble on the outside, but supremely arrogant on the inside (in a good way)

  25. omeedm says:

    couldn’t have said …
    couldn’t have said it better myself, let Kobe be Kobe, let Michael be Michael
    plain and simple
    well put Kobe
