Is Kobe Bryant the Air Apparent to MJ?

Question

If you pay close attention to Kobe, the way he walks,talks,takes jumpshots, fadeaways, shooting form, free throw form, swagger, innate ability, attitude, fierce, competitive, fearless, close out games, everything so similar it's insane! The Only I see from 2 guys is Kobe's a better free throw shooter, 3 point shooter, has more range, faster crossovers.
MJ has better court vision, leadership, shot selection, defense, that's basically it. Only reason why MJ averaged 50%FPG was because he didn't take jumpshots when he was younger so his pet move was dunking on guys 90 percent of the time. Kobe- Avg. is 45.1 percent.

I never seen a player close in comparison to MJ than Kobe.

Answer 1

another Kobe Cheerleader with half facts.

Jordan shot over 50 % from 87 to 92. then in 93 shot 49.5 %. Kobe carreer average 45.1.

for him to do get to 50 %, he needs to shoot 55% for the next 10 years or so. wont happen. and he wont get to MJ's average of 30 a game, cause Kobe wont score 37 a game for the next 10 years.

3 of the starters on the Lakers shoot over 50 %, yet Kobe takes more shots....???? WHY????
the other one shoots a better % then he does. yet, he shoots more. people say Lakers dont have good shooter. That is because Kobe is shooting and not passing to the ones with a better shot %.

when SHAQ was with Kobe, the other players shot worse then Kobe. YET THEY WON>>>>!! ! ! ! ! !

KOBE plays a lot of minutes and only cares about KOBE

Answer 2

Kobe was supposed to be... but Kobe is getting the same stats as MJ while getting more oppurtunities because MJ actually had a supporting cast while Kobe has smush parker and Lamar odom...

to answer ur question the closest comparison to MJ is Lebron... Lebron's fantasy stats are actually BETTER than MJs and he is carrying a team far worse than MJ's team was...No ring though but hes workin on it... pushed Detroit to the brink last year

so i think its safe to say that Lebron James is the air apparent to MJ

Answer 3

Wow that is my boy Kevin talking like a genius. Kev you make me so proud I'm blushing right now as I'm reading your very intellectual piece about your idol(that's ME)! I agree with you except when you said that Jordan has better court vision, leadership, shot selection, defense. That kinda made me a litl disappointed in you Kev. The truth is Jordan is a NOBODY compared to ME! I am the best damn athlete alive and no one deserves to be compared to me. Not even Jordan! I am better than him in all aspects of the game. But that's OK Kev. I am very happy that you observe even the slightest of my actions like how i walk or talk hahaha that made me laugh a bit Kev. It just shows me how great I am with obsessed fans like you idolizing ME! For that I will reward you by ME winning the scoring title. I will do whatever it takes and I will shoot the ball even more. I assure you Kev, I will average 50 pts, 5 rebs, 2 stl and 0.1 ASSISTS per game. Nothing can stop me from winning that scoring title, not not aching knees, not iverson, and definitely not Jackson's stupid triangle! So Kev continue the support man. Continue to worship me. Bow down to me and kiss my shiny black *** cuz I just love it!

Answer 4

Looks like the majority here is not on your side. Just like there is only one of you, there is also only one Michael Jordan. No one comes close to him in ability, even if they did they would not have the same name. The guy said, he didn't know what to call what Jordan had, well my friend it is called " Class ". Very few players of any sport have it. Dr. J had it. Once in a while I see that twinkle in Shaq's eyes, but only once in a while. Jordan and Dr. J had it all the time.

Answer 5

Is Kobe Bryant the Air Apparent to MJ? - what the hell does this question mean? do you mean heir, like successor to the throne? and i dont think apparent is the right word either....

Answer 6

no one compares to michael he was a one of a kind. michael had a complete game in his arsenal. he had the shot the defense he seen the court like no one else in his era. if you want to make a comparison as to who is the next mj i have two choices for you. labron james and dwayne wade. those two guys have alot in common with michael.

Answer 7

I'll buy you a pair of glasses cause LeBron is better than Kobe

Answer 8

lets see, MJ could pass, Kobe can't
MJ never carried the ball, Kobe does it every time
MJ could play D, Kobe well, come on now.....
MJ understood the importance of team, Kobe hasn't got a clue....
MJ wasn't a chucker, Kobe, the biggest chucker of all time
MJ could rebound and get steals, Kobe needs the map to find the pain on the defensive side.......

SO I guess, no.. he is not the air apparent to MJ>.......

Answer 9

I think so I agree with u fully Kobe is my favorite player his the best player in the game right now that 81 point game proves it.

Answer 10

I reckon kobe's moves are just as good as jordan. But jordan had that 'something' that only champions got. I don't know what it is but you all know what I'm talking about.
