blade you can post screenshots of you beating people like louie in 1v1s as much as you want (seriosly with your sound, set up, and stopwatch you shouldnt lose a 1v1) but it doesnt change the fact that he is 20x the player you are.

Kobe bryant is the greatest player of his generation and my favourite player of all time but Jordan is the GOAT.

Kobe could still finish with better career numbers and possibly could cement himself as the greatest of all time but it hasnt happened yet. (very well could happen with 2 more championships and some mvps)

I'm not even a huge Kobe fan, but I've always had respect for him.

People don't truly appreciate just how good Kobe is and that is why he will never reach Jordan because of the public perception of Jordan basically being a basketball god and the GOAT until someone blows him completely out of the water...and even then there will be some that will bring up discussions like eras, competition, rules, etc. to diminish that player and give more credit to Jordan. Look at Kobe's stats and the supporting cast that he had around him. He gets shit on for his stats but his percentages and stats are still better than all of the "up and coming stars" of the new age even while playing hurt and on the inevitable decline that comes physically once you enter your mid 30's. Give him a Scottie Pippen that was in his prime at the same time as Kobe and see how many more championships he would have. Some of those Laker teams were so dominant that having Kobe AND Shaq was just overkill namely the Nets and Sixers' series where it was just a slaughterhouse in the finals. People diminish Scottie when Jordan's greatness is brought up but careful when you diminish Scottie as his own player and start comparing current players and saying that a player is a "rich man's Scottie Pippen" unless you want to unleash the Kraken on yourself.

It's not surprise that Kobe has identical plays to Jordan. He seriously modeled his game after Jordan. All of his moves whether they be pivots, jab steps, spins, etc. were all patterned off of Jordan. Kobe Bryant is probably the most underrated guy in the NBA when it comes to foot work. He has always been lethal even after he picks up his dribble. The only other guys that you see with comparable footwork are Jordan and Hakeem. We're talking European soccer player-like footwork in an American game.

TL;DR; Kobe should be in the same conversation as Michael Jordan but he won't be because you don't want him to be.
