Damn, Reggie Miller ended that argument really quickly.
During his weekly appearance on the Dan Patrick Show, Reggie Miller tried to ether the whole Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant comparison in soundbite.
When asked about Kobe Bryant passing Michael Jordan for third place on the all-time scoring list earlier this week, Miller said, “Michael Jordan on his worst day is 10 times better than Kobe Bryant on his best day. That’s not short-changing Kobe at at all, because he handed me my lunch pail, too, but I will take that Black Cat (Jordan) all day, any day over Kobe.”
Jordan has more scoring titles (10-2), NBA titles (6-5), NBA MVP awards (5-1) and Finals MVP awards (6-2). Also, at the end of this season, Jordan will have played four fewer seasons.
It was never really a story, I love Kobe Bryant, but the only people who thought he was better than Jordan were kids to young to have witnessed Jordan in his prime.
