People involved in sports attempt to compare star
players to Hall of Famers.
Different
aspects of their game can resemble a former legend. Eras in sports are defined
by once in a generation players. The 90’s Chicago Bulls dynasty featured one of
these players. Michael Jordan played basketball at a level that will never be
matched.
Jordan is arguably
the greatest athlete of all time. Throughout NBA history various
players have been compared to him. Kobe Bryant and Lebron James are the
most recent examples. Each superstar has unique qualities.
Kobe has the ability
to put up a drastic amount of points at any moment. His killer instinct and
desire to win has drawn comparisons to MJ. Multiple rings boost Bryant’s
legacy. A bitter rivalry with King James continues to evolve.
Lebron James has faced
great expectations since he entered the league. A powerful physical game,
allows him to create jaw-dropping moments. James’s passing ability creates
unique opportunities for his teammates. His multiple MVP awards and
championship ring give him an edge.
Michael Jordan’s ability to take over
the game on both sides of the ball is unmatched. During the legendary flue game
he contributed 5 assists 38 points, 7 rebounds, and one block. According to
Basketball Reference.com. Six
championship rings bolsters his resume. A spot in the hall of fame and declared
as “By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all
time” on NBA.com makes Jordan incomparable.
Incomparable? What! That is egregious. Kobe Bryant is the closest thing we have seen to Michael Jordan. Kobe and Jordan is identical. Ridiculous. Kareem has more MVPs, more points, and as many rings. Kobe has more All-Star appearances, will pass MJ in point, and one less ring. What!!!!!
