I mean, in terms of the Jordan comparison, there's no debate there...Jordan was and always will be the superior player....

But as someone who has never been a big booster for Kobe, that whole "athleticism" jab is getting tiring....U can dissect Kobe's game without resorting to that. Athleticism is part of basketball. Why do people on this board continue to shit on players because they rely on their physical gifts...

It's silly...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....
