Scottie Pippen: Kobe Bryant Walks, Talks, Plays Like Michael Jordan

So according to Pippen this equation then holds true : LeBron > Michael = Kobe ??

Scotty was a great player, but the guy cant have a conversation that dosnt inclde Mike at some point.

Wow, just so many Kobe posts.

When he was younger, I will readily admit that Kobe emulated Jordan, whether consciously or unconsciously, from the hoop earrings to his manner of speaking. Nowadays/since Shaq left? Not so much. He has some of the same mannerisms on the court, but that I feel is just a weird coincidence; he’s his own person.

The King is still better…

come on Scottie man, stfu. I getting tired of hearing about what scottie thinks of other guys in relation to MJ.

Straight from the horse’s mouth holds weight rather than media interpretation of what THEY observe.

You lot are fork in illiterate morons. He was ASKED to compare Kobe and MJ.

Can you even read?

anybody else notice that kobe’s goatee looks just like the one mj grew out at about the same age?

^like @wayne and @jay cutler

He even does the annoying MJ ‘fist pump’ after sex – said Vanessa Bryant

Charisma on or off the court. Kob’s no Mike off the court. Mike’s impact on and approach to endorsements, advertising, media-relations, player-personas is un-too-itself in that he dominated those aspects. Kob is greatly successful, but has had to share those off the court spoils with more equal counter parts than MJ. On the court more-so, but I hate these comparisons. Not because they are totally unwarranted, but I feel it takes away from the uniqueness of each…

^^^Uuuggghhh, reading comp skills my man, please get em’. I typed advertising, endorsements, media-relations and player-personas, nothing about social impact you tool. But your bean-bag a$$ just had to jump on something you perceived as “hate.” Compare Jordan brand to Kob’s line, it’s not close an never will be. And lastly everyone knows you coped “book it” from that half-wit Bayless so try coming up wit your own material too…

Heals,
OK, Jordan line was the first, and MJ was hyped up beyond anything ever. DDDUUUHHH Kobe line isn’t close, who is endorsement cat. Mike stated nothing smart off the court and if he started playing in this time, the media would kill him, like today athletes get killed. MJ sucked off the court. He was hated, go read advertising cat. ALL of MJ gambling, womanizing and other things would have exploded. MJ is lucky he came when the NBA world was looking for a leader, no matter how many shots he took, how selfish he was, no matter how much teammates hated him or anything else. MJ best statement is “Republicans buy shoes too” MJ lover of player persona’s. BOOK THAT!!!

Must suck to always hear about someone else’s name whenever you get talked to…

Scottie was ask the question and he answered it…..whats the problem??…..why hate Scottie when u people should be hateing the guy asking the question…..

I agree with Pip. The NBA back then allowed players to be physical and it seperated the boys from the men. Today’s NBA protects its superstars by calling fouls against defenders all the time. I wish the NBA could go back to the way basketball was played back then.

nbk your post are always spot on or the ones I tend to relate and agree to the most. Cheers

All these years of watching Kobe and his first game as a rookie he was always reminded me of Mike, I’ve always liked his game for that for that reason – I didn’t want the magic to end and in Kobe he has kept that alive to a degree.

The young Kobe and Mike photos are great to look at, I think there is one where they both have their hands gripping their short, leaning forward resting on their knees. I still think of the ‘Be like Mike’ ad when I see that.

little bit,but at least he didnt say that kobe is next jordan.

Michael Jordn is definitely better than Jordan, but Kobe is probably the closest we’ll ever get to another Jordan.

Kobe’s great, I’m a big fan, but he wishes he had half of MJ’s charisma. MJ’s influence on and off the court was huge, denying that is just idiotic.

Who said he did? He just resembles him.

Why is this news??? Baylor gave the blueprint to MJ. MJ to Kobe yada yada yada……

And JT, I’d be willing to go head to head with ANYONE to prove that Kobe is just as good a offensive player as MJ was. MJ>Kobe all day on D but on O, Kobe>MJ at everything BUT finishing at the rim (with his godly hands) However, all of this only applicable provided we consider both are healthy. ( I’m looking at you, Kobe )

Kobes loved MJ so much his alarmclock sounded like ” Sometimes i dream , that he is Me ….. ”

@AQWORD. Jordan never made any of his teammates better!!! It was all about him him him. If Jordan made everyone around him soooo much better then why did his teams field goal percentage go way up when he retired??? Scottie’s field goal percentage sky rocketed! It took the Knicks 7 games to knock the Bulls out of the Eastern Conf Finals that year. Kobe easily has the better range over Jordan and Kobe has more range with his fade away than Jordan ever did.. Having said that, Jordan was more explosive taking the ball to the basket. Jordan and Kobe are not players that MAKE their teammates better.. For that see: Magic Johnson. Peace.

Pippen should just shut up.
