The conversation for best player to play in the NBA is between 2 players, Michael Jordan and LeBron James. No one else belongs in the discussion. I also think it is clear cut that Michael Jordan is the best player to ever play in the NBA.*
*Insert Maximus post calling me obsessed with Bron Bron, because I said he is only the 2nd best player to play in the NBA.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

By MJ's standard, he'd have to take Robert Horry over Kobe as well because 7 rings are better than 5. We all know Kobe is a better player, but Horry has more rings, so gotta go with him. It's that kind of thinking, as BGR alluded to, that has led to the winning ways of the Bobcats under Jordan's leadership.I'm like LeBron James.

When MJ gives a stupid pat answer like that, I wish someone would ask him if he thinks Bill Russell was about twice the player that he was. Or if he feels like John Havlicek was a better perimeter player with the C's than Jordan was with the Bulls. Because it isn't like Havlicek was a role player like Fisher or Horry or Kerr. He was an all-time great, who also won 8 rings. 8 is more than 6.

Originally posted by Hypoplastic View PostMaybe in 2000, but not in 2001 and 2002. Kobe was phenomenal against the Kings and Spurs in 2001 (35, 9, & 4.3 against the Kings and 33, 7 & 7, against the Spurs, on over 51% shooting). He averaged over 30, 5 & 5 in the 2002 playoffs, though his shooting wasn't great.
Kobe's averages for the NBA finals while Shaq was a Laker: 22.2 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 4.8 apg, 1.5 spg, 38% FG%
(Actually, those Kobe #'s include the finals in '08 against Boston as well. I don't feel like going back and adjusting them. But he averaged about 25 ppg on 39% shooting against Boston, so it actually improved his Finals #'s from when Shaq was with him)
Kobe was a very good player those 4 years the Lakers went to the Finals with Shaq. He wasn't anywhere near the dominant force that Shaq was.
