kobe pulls 47
"he's the biggest ball hog ever"
MJ pulls 49
"i hate kobe he never passes"

especially when the line up without Kobe is
Kwame / Bynum
Lamar injury odom
Luke walton
SG ?????
Jordan farmar
by far the worst stating lineup ever
not even 8th men on other teams

how can MJ be more phenominal?
when kobes a way better shooter, playmaker, dunker..... well dunker no, but i mean does jordan make turn around / fadeaways three pointers when he's double teamed in the corner (actually surrounded by 4 defenders in the corner) and swish it

no its not fair, even when kobe is racking up 47 shots a game, he is also averaging 4-5 assist a game! and like you said the talent on the lakers is not that of what MJ had with the bulls.
People that call Kobe a ball hog are ignorant!!!

Because Kobe needs to learn how to make his shots. Kobe only has a career average of making 45% of his shots compared to Jordan who has a 49% and shot over 50% in a season 6 times.....Kobe=0 (even when he played with Shaq those years he demanded double teams). People need to face the fact Kobe is garbage compared to Jordan. And I hate people who keep saying "Jordan had Pippen." Add a Scottie Pippen type of player with Kobe and that team still would still not get to the finals. Kobe is a good player but never will be close to Jordan.

well, this is a tough one because all of them hogged the ball a lot. but the difference was that wilt and mj hogged the ball for the betterment of the team. kobe he just hogs just to hog. Wilt averaged 50 points per game one season, I mean that's pretty crazy, and 30 points per game throughout his career. MJ also averaged 30 points per game throughout his career, but in addition he won 6 championships and was considered the best player to ever play. When you look at kobe and his championships, he won them with shaq. So the answer is pretty tough, but MJ is definitely not the answer, I mean didn't he break a record for the most assists in a career or something for the chicago bulls?

Who said Kobe was the best of all time?
No ,Kobe's not a ball hog,
That's not fair question because look at his teammates on this Lakers team, Lamar is a very good player but he very passive and acts like he scared a lot of the time, Kwame can't catc the ball, Luke is more of a playmaker than a shooter so he doesn't shoot.
There really is not anyone to shoot besides Kobe, but on the real if you watch the games his teammates either don't shoot the ball and keep passing it to him or they brick the shot.
And another point almost all the players on this team including LAMR AND LUKE HAVE HAD CAREER YEARS PLAYING WITH KOBE SO I DON'T BELIEVE THAT KOBE DOESN'T MAKE HIS TEAMMATES BETTER MESS

Another Kobe jocker... you know what, give it up Kobe fans MJ's the greatest, Kobe is nowhere close, you know it, I know it, and leave it alone! And anyway, here's a stat that speaks for itself:
MJ: four 50% or more Field goal percentage years
Kobe: 0 50% or more Field goal percentage years
MJ took the shots and made them! Kobe attempts more field goals per game than Jordan, so how could you say MJ is a ball hog!?
MJ GREATEST OF ALL TIME!
KOBE IS NOT!

No, it's not fair, considering he is as good as Jordan ever was at this time, a fact that must confuse him more than anyone. It's the same old thing really... a bunch of overworked losers hating on a lucky guy who has a better life than they do.
I wouldn't worry about Kobe... he knows he can really do whatever he wants excluding murder, and absent the extraordinary, he'll lead his own champions, like Shaq has and his naysayers will just have to take lots of Maalox.

46 field goal attempts + 20 free throws = 81 points which Jordan
never accomplished. Kobe does make ill advised decisions sometimes, no disrespect but with kwame, smush, and radmanovic to depend on? i wonder what Jordan would do...
o ya i think Kobe made a jumper over almost the suns team on that game 4 in LA 2 seasons ago. That was spectacular. Too bad they lost.

MJ also stole 4 times, rebounded 10, made 7 assists, blocked 3 times, and shot above 50%.
Kobe? stole 1... rebound 4... made 4 assists... blocked 0.. shot under 45%.
How is Kobe the better shooter? MJ averaged above 50%. Kobe just currently broke 46%.
How is Kobe the better playmaker? MJ led his team offensively and defensively. MJ ran the offensive and pull everyone back for defense. Kobe runs the offensive without Coach Jackson's consent, and then he defends some guy and doesn't care about his teammates.
MJ also made way more clutch shot than Kobe did. And yes, MJ made the winning shot over 5 Boston Celtics. Can Kobe top that?

MJ was a team player! He treated his teammates decent! He could win. Kobes whines. Kobe will never accomplish anything like Jordan. Stupid questions like this belong to the gay/lesbian section of yahoo answers. You are in the wrong place.

Kobe is a good individual player... But as a leader? It's still in question since he couldn't lead this team back to their glory days. His three championships doesn't even count as we all know who's the man in LA then (after that player left he left behind a big vacuum that the Lakers still struggles to fill in).
With that pointed out, What is Michael's legacy?, Bill Russell on Michael Jordan: “he has this-it's like a computer in his head that he knows all of his MULTIPLE SKILLS, which ones he uses, and when to use them, to WIN the game, because you see the thing is what makes him a great player is his sense of priority, what is important.”
He further more added that : “what makes him great is his attitude. I think that after I've watched him play I guess hundreds of times since he was a kid, and the ENTHUSIASM and the WILL to win has been there all the time, and what I like about him is that even today in the regular season games he shows up to play just like he played when he was in high school or in college, just as hard, with just as much DEDICATION, and with just as much intensity.”

And I’ll let you watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awVreP-Qs9w
Look at the number nine and number eight videos… Jordan passes! I don’t see Kobe developing such trust in his teammate enough for him to allow his teammate shoot.
“he has this-it's like a computer in his head that he knows all of his multiple skills, which ones he uses, and when to use them, to WIN the game…” that’s the difference. HE passes the ball for them to seal every game their in. HE scores when it is needed, when necessary. It’s not being a ball-hog it was what’s necessary given the situation.
Enough said.
Hope this helps.

Ha! Kobe fans... You just can't accept the truth! You think Kobe is getting unjust treatment here when you all do is blatantly attack Jordan's legacy!
They are two completely different players form different eras... You always have to connect Kobe to Mike to justify Kobe's greatness! Why? Can't he shine on his own?
Just asking.
