That article speaks the truth. |
So when Kobe scores 60+ points, he is dangerous to his team? But when Jordan, Wilt, or Lebron does it, they are great players? Jordan wasn't a great teammate, he punched out players in the locker room, froze out teammates and even froze out other teammates that didn't follow his freezeout orders.
I am not arguing that Kobe is the best ever. I just think these articles get a bit tiresome.
At the end of the day, Kobe and Jordan are similar. Jordan had less competition, gambling issues, and lets be honest, he was suspected of infidelity on occasions. He was a jerk. He had to have HIS points. Kobe is arrogant, issues with infidelity, stiffer competition but he had Shaq.
How much of that matters? None.....
Neither of them are the greatest ever. Shaq is and will be for some time.
