I mean he's black by american standards but his natural color before LA was lighter and his mother looks biracial? While Jordan looked 100% of African origin.

It's not a weird question it's true Kobe didn't look 100% african when he started playing like Jordan does. I have friends from africa who if they first saw him would call him light skinned when he played for lower merion.

I agree...this is a weird question....but, totalstuff8 - he HAS won two titles. He's won three, actually...what are you talking about?
lucyanddesi - it's "Kobe," not "Kobi." But, otherwise, yes...once he gets some more championships and MVPs, he'll get as much credit as His Airness.

Kobe ranks up there with Jordan on the talent scale. Black and white has nothing to do with it. Magic Johnson will tell you that Pete Maravich was the greatest of all time. I think Jordan ranks above Kobe not because he is blacker(which is a ridiculous statement) but because he has a little more class than Kobe has and was more of a team player. Jordan elevated the games of his team-mates to a higher plane and that is what makes a player better than the next in my book. Unselfishness and team play.

Most people do not even know that Kobe is part-white. Plus, the reason he gets less fame is cuz he has modeled so much of his game after Jordan. We don't even really know what Kobe plays like.

Are you kidding me? Rodman, MJ and Pippen have been 3 of the merely right defenders interior the league and that they have been all on the comparable team and you do not think of they are in a position to close down the famous-day celtics/lakers/spurs and so on.??? Your insane. confident MJ averaged 30 PPG, so what!! Wade averaged 30 this year, LeBron did t final year, Kobe had 35 PPG twelve months, MJ grew to become into merely good adequate to do it for the duration of concealed profession. each and every thing you suggested grew to become into all opinion devoid of actuality in touch

No way. I think it has to do with his attitude. I mean, I personally think he's great, but I think his personality puts people off. He's stand-offish, and not as friendly and outgoing as Jordon. I think it is a hint of dislike that effects the amount of recognition he recieves.

Kobe doesn't get the credit because he hasn't earned it yet. Once Kobe wins at least 2 titles but maybe more than he will get some more credit. (Kobe also doesn't get credit because he is a rapist)

Yeah, right. When Kobi has six championships of his own, maybe he'll be blacker then.

No. He doesn't get as much credit because he's not as good.
