yeah you really dont know shiiet about basketball!!! gasol = 0 ring until he got traded to the lakers, and was motivated by kobe!!

“Kobe made sure from the moment that I landed and joined the team that I was on the same boat that he was on,” Gasol told NBA.com. “I never heard that message [before], ‘Now let’s go win a title; let’s win us a ring.’”

Kobe without a HOF center is Carmelo. Live with that reality.

To put him in a sentence with Jordan is the height of ignorance. It just shows that you let sponsors and hype men dictate your opinions to you. Because if you look at the numbers there is no serious argument to be made for Kobe to even be compared to the likes of Duncan, Shaq, or Bird. Let alone Kareem, LeBron, or Jordan.

i guess all these folks are delusional too right?? even NBA player like dominiue wilkins is saying kobe is the closest to MJ.. i guess wilkins is delusional too LOL..

Many, including Jordan himself, see Bryant as having the most similar game to Jordan. Both were exceptional scorers, had a relentless work ethic, and were known for their ability to take over games in clutch situations. Dominique Wilkins also stated that Bryant was "the closest player" to Jordan.

damm even magic is delusional too LOL!!

Many NBA players, including former NBA player and Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins, have stated that Kobe Bryant is the closest player to Michael Jordan in terms of his game and mindset. Wilkins specifically said he told Bryant, after his final game in Atlanta, that he was the closest player to Jordan. Magic Johnson also acknowledges the comparison, explaining why Kobe Bryant is seen as the closest comparison to Michael Jordan. KJ Perry, another player, also expressed his admiration for Kobe Bryant and his similarities to Michael Jordan
