Kobe/Jordan identical plays....vol. uncanny

So more original means he did take parts of other players that came before him and incorporate them into his game correct? So to use your analogy instead of copying word for word the term paper (as you claim Kobe did) he just forgot to cite some of the paragraphs correctly (MJ)? Name me a player that has played or currently played any sport that hasn't incorporated or tried to incorporate what the greats did into their games.
And the old "your screename means you can't talk about a subject" is just tired, champ. We're all or at least most of us adults, and can articulate and discuss an argument.

You Kobe lovers out here are copping pleas, it's disgusting. I'll give you and the rest in here credit though, at least your riding for your boy, I'll give you that much. At tne end of the day, when you name or list all the GREAT players except for Kobe they have their own game, their own style of play, their own signature moves or what have you. When you look at Kobe however, it's nothing more than "monkey see, monkey do" and that's where Kobe and alot of you Kobe lovers out here fail the test.

I truly would't be surpised if Kobe watched that "Be Like Mike" commercial before every game just to give him more inspiration to play the way he does. For the younger generation that didn't watch Jordan play Kobe definitely got over on alot of you dudes out here that simply don't know any better.
 

Passing off somebody else's work as your own.............nah we can't co-sign that champ. Most institutions/organizations will toss you out if your accused and found guilty of plagiarism, so with that in mind Kobe is very fortunate he's even made it this far doing what he's doing. Kobe's a great player, but at the end of the day as a basketball player he doesn't have his OWN identity.


you're reaching for the stars fam. you're goin to pull something.

kobe put work in. even more so possibly than Mike just off the strength MJ had a personal life. Kobe doesnt because he's always in the gym lol. all he does is hoop and bone breezys. Mike actually had friends and tee times and functions to attend and commercials to shoot. this dude kobe posted a pic on fb the night he got back from the olympics, in the gym. not at home with the fam, but in the weight room lol. mike was a socialable guy, kobe not so much, so he has more time to work on things on the court. mike def had the genetically better body that kobe though. very few injuries even deep in his career. i def think kobe would still be pretty incredible if he didn't have to deal with so many ailments. but that's part of the game, we cant pick how our genes form, just gotta roll with the punches.

Kobe possibly putting in more work than Mike as your alluding to?? Now who's reaching for the stars champ. Don't even get me started on their personal lives, believe me when I tell you that's not a place fans of Kobe want to bring up or talk about in comparison to Mike. Just because Kobe has no social skills, is an introvert, and has no friends, that's on him. Besides, even plagiarism requires work on some end.

aww someones panties in a bunch?

So would I have to know Daniel Gibson personally to reference him as Boobie
or Demarcus Cousins as Boogie
or Dwayne Wade as D.Wade
what about Lawrence Taylor as LT? ahhh man the whole world must be on his jock too dudes been callin him that for 20 years

get a ******g life bruh because you sir are a lame
 
Ahhh here we go again...Kobe patternised his gm after the Goat fair enough to compare ahhh id say yeah more than Lebron but at the end of the day no one touching the GOAT someof the Mike did on the court will be duplicated I rest my case!
 
I too would love to see what a player of Jordan's ability could do in today's league.
He'd be like a 6-6 Wade with a jumper.
Wow!!! So what makes this era so much better?

To correct you, He'd actually be a 6'6 Kobe with more athleticism, better defense, better finishing, and a much higher shooting percentage.

I think Kobe is the second greatest SG of all time, one of the greatest of all time but what has Kobe ever been better than Michael on? Honestly, what is it? Kobe was better at 3 point shots and 30 foot jumpers because he'd settle for them much more than Jordan ever wanted. Someone let me know. I'm completely unbiased, not a Kobe Hater, not a Kobe Stan.

Only thing I'd argue would be long/mid-range shooting but it's not like it'd be a landslide difference. Kobe ain't MJ though, nobody will be MJ.

Right, that's what I'd say as well. I wouldn't say mid-range but definitely long-range but I never remember Jordan taking 30 foot shots either, Kobe was def making but taking more long range shots so I'd guess he'd have that edge.
 
The problem with Kobe is dude doesn't care .. He's still trying to do moves that he does (which he was good at) 4- 5 years ago in terms of crossover, driving in traffic , etc.. which causes more harm (to the team) than good due to his age.. He's more effective coming off screen or when he focus just punishing defenders down on the post.. maybe it was just lack of PG play that he's trying to do so much all the time. Unlike MJ, He's great at picking his spots and just unstoppable on the mid-range area..

With Nash on board, i'm interested to see how Kobe's game will change..

THIS

His injuries have brought him down, he cannot handle the ball any more, he cannot split the double, and his "defense" most of the time consists of gambling the passing lanes. However with Nash running the offense this year things MAY be different...
 
I think both haters and fans need to chill. Kobe took moves from many greats from past and present. He also created things for the future.

My beef with Kobe as he's coming to a close of his career is that he could have been an even better all around player and I'm not talking about skill for his own greatness but empowering his teammates.

I'm not a Lebron fan but the one thing I respect Lebron the most for out of all his attributes is that he stays aggressive passing to his teammates. He doesn't give up on the fact that regardless of how many missed shots or other failures his teammates make he still passes to them and allows them to create and fail.

If Kobe did this one trait with his individual greatness he would in my mind be teh GOAT no question. He has shown the capabilities of being a dominant passer, taking a backseat when another teammate is on fire, and not controlling the offense and yet still ending the game with 30, 5, and 5.

Kobe has had a game where he had 10+ assist in a quarter, a triple double by halftime, scored 30 of others creating for him, and played tenacious D and big offense at the same time.
 
I never understood the reason for hating on a basketball player, rather than appreciating what that player has achieved in his career... I could understand the hate if a player was battling your team in a playoff series, but to constantly belittle certain players and try to "maintain & restore" the legend of Michael Jordan on this board is hilarious to me.

I didn't say the era was better at all. I just said I'd love to see him today because there isn't a player right now who can get to the rim consistently, post up, AND be able to hit midrange jumpers at an elite level. Combine that with how you're not allowed to be as physical defensively today compared to the '90s and I would love to see a player with his IQ & skills in today's league.

And how can he be a 6'6 Kobe, when Kobe is already 6'6?

The reason I made the Wade comparison is because Wade doesn't take threes and he's a terrific slasher. Two characteristics of Jordan's play.

Theres no hand checking today, but you werent allowed to play zone and other defenses that are designed to stop a certain player.

In no way am I suggesting that he wouldn't be a great player, but if you don't think defensive schemes along with bigger more athletic guards would make a difference in how great Jordan would be you're delusional
 
So Kobe has NO identity, yet the entire world knows who he is. And we're supposed to believe that everyone thinks hes some kind of fake variant Jordan.

Are you just repeating what you're hearing from other people? :lol:





He saw zone, doubles, triples, all of that stuff.

It's clear Kobe watched a ton a video's and practiced Jordan's moves, but I don't see why people look down on Kobe for it.

What's bad about having Jordan as your idol?
