Why do people compare kobe to MJ so much

[Gaven24]

i have a question why do people compare kobe to MJ when MJ to me at least is so much better than kobe
Also do you thing MJ is the best of all time ? I do no doubt

I have no idea why people compare kobe to Mj. I think that Mj being the best of all time is just a matter of opinion. But most people would say Mj is the best.

[Brandon]

Oh yeah and
Think Basketball

Yah I agree and just look at Kobe this year t's in the playoff best player ever would never do that mj is the best no to mention he had such a great basketball IQ

Okay I think the comparison is that they play similar... Both have fadeaways, amazing reverse lay-ups, dominate games, need a sidekick to dominate. I don't think Bryant will ever reach 6 titles but hey u never kno.

True that but I think mj is at onether level than Kobe Is

Two guys that are the same height, similar athletically, and are the most dominant players of their generations? Why wouldn't you compare the two? People compare players because it is very rare that players of the caliber of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are in their primes at the same time and it is natural to debate who was better in their prime. As far as who is better, I think that Jordan is better in some categories but Kobe Bryant also wins other categories. As far as Kobe getting T'd up a lot this past playoffs, I don' think that contributes to how great a player is at all. MJ also had some character issues and off the court problems that nobody ever knew about until way after they happened. But in all, I believe MJ was better than Kobe and ultimately the greatest of all time

Me thinks both were good in their own field that's why!

Both players were good in terms of performance, has most number of points in the game and their buzzer beater shoots were just so amazing. Both were also good in doing vertical jump than most players. So I think they were both great. :)
