“If you had to pick between the two, that would be a tough choice,” Jordan, now owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, told program host Ahmad Rashard, “but five beats one every time I look at it.” “And not that he won’t get five,” Jordan said of James. “He may get more than that, but five is bigger than one.”

Does Lebron James need a few more rings to be compared to Kobe Bryant?

Who care what micheal Jordan has 2 say
if lebron gets 6 more will he b better than mj?
No….Next question, a.k.a. You-niggas-need-to-understand-how-players-who-are-lucky-enough-to have-the-most-dominant-defensive/offensive-bigmen-in their first years, or- picked up-by their- original team-cannot-be-credited-for-attaining-a-championship-solely-from-a-single-player’s-efforts….Oh….And just, you know, the greatest coach of all time on their championship squad…That’s all; it didn’t really help or anything -__-
True story…
Fuck what Jordan has to say, everybody think nobody can beat Jordan ever, there always someone better in every sport on earth even mj, Lebron should get more respect , if he hadn’t gone to wack as Cleveland he’ll have at least 4 rings already.
Us lakers fans been saying what Jordan just clarified lol
7 beats all Horry>>>>>>>>>>>.Jordan & Kobe
He says that the number of rings don’t define the player, but the main reason he went to Miami is to chase those rings. At some point LeBron felt that he needed a championship to validate himself. Now he’s saying it never really mattered? Whatever you say LeBron.
thats retarded… that means bill russell is the greatest of all time because he has 11 rings
Niggas never look at the facts they just disgard them. Cleveland had two best record seasons, two MVP seasons out lebron and one coach of the year out of mike brown, people always make the excuse he didn’t have anyone so that means he didn’t make anyone around him really better than. All there situations are different. Kobe was a young player on the team he wanted to play for the most they got shaq and Phil he was already there just like mj was already there when they got Scottie and Phil. Lebron gave up and went to Miami with two top 20 players in the world that’s just the facts. Your trying to tell me no one would have went to the cavs to play with Bron? Gtfoh. He’s the best at the moment but if he don’t win with Miami every year the decision to go to there will be a flop. Kobe and mj attained greatness, Bron as soon he came into the league he crowned himself
Even d wade never jumped ship but d wade needed shaq and Bron to win does that make him wack?
all of the greats, lebron, jordan, bill russell, wilt, magic. all won regular season mvp atleast 3 times or better.
that is the mark of a truly great player. teams win chips, individuals win mvps. lebron has 3 already, kobe has 1. if kobe was so great, what are his 5 rings doing for him today? not even making the playoffs??? fuck outta here. trade kobe for lebron and lakers would have best record in the league easily.
lebron is that dude end of story, kobe=overrated
Another true story…
LOL at Kobe being overrated…
Even last year MJ said he would take Kobe over Lebron and didn’t mention anything about rings. This is just MJs way of saying Kobe is better, he just mentioned the rings to be politically correct.
@Pain He said doesn’t “ALWAYS” define the player and you obviously missed his point. Yes rings does matter but the greatness of a player is confined sometimes by the situation they’re in. He even gave examples like Barkley being a great player but not having any rings.
the sport is not an individual effort. No one wins rings by themselves. Jordan needed pippen and rodman and Kobe needed shaq and then after shaq he needed bynum, gasol, odom, fisher. Now look at Kobe he’s got nash, metta world peace, howard, and gasol but where are they? IT IS about the situation you’re in cuz even when you play with great players it doesn’t always translate into a championship
Jordan is jus scared that Lebron wil one day overtake him as the greatest player in the world, thats y he tries to put Kobe over Lebron
I’ve stated everyone needs help to win. Mj couldn’t have won without pippen or Phil, Kobe Phil and shaq, wade shaq and lebron, etc. Like dude above stated just because your with great players doesn’t translate championships so I don’t wanna hear lebron makes others better or he could win with the lakers core now because he hasn’t proven that or he would have won a ship in Cleveland. Lebron and Kobe will never be mj 6-0 in all final appearance excluding Rodman he made bum niggas stars. Kobe and Bron can’t do those things plain and simple. Mj just doesn’t respect what lebron stands for and that’s my opinion. He crowned himself chosen one, king James, Jordan’s number, powder toss. This a nigga that goes cold in so many playoff runs, walks off the court don’t shake hands leaves mo Williams to talk to reporters, told reporters they was gonna win 8 ships in Miami etc then when the pressure is on him he shuts away and says he’s hated naw nigga you did it to yourself and the greats don’t respect that because as much as Kobe is selfish and arrogant he never proclaimed himself to be anything the people crowned him. That’s why he gets the greats respect more than lebron. Kobe and melo were at mj’s 50 bday where was Bron lol. I’m not question him as a player because I think he’s the best right now but I’m questioning his heart though
so lebron went to espn and said call me king james while still a senior at high school? or was that espn’s idea, or was that sports illustrated idea. a high school kid cant make anybody do anything. they crowned him cuz they wanted to sell magazines. dont hate the playa, hate the game.
co sign @TruthBTold and @skill smart analysis
Be better judges of the way people (Jordan ) answered the question. He had to pick one , Lebron is a animal, he’s unstoppable. Buts who’s better Kobe, his rings and longevity to compete in this game so long, is the is the only thing you can put over Lebron.
Hence why he’s chosen to be better..No Horry isn’t better because he has more rings but when two player are so great and hard to choose..you have to find something that out weighs the other.
I’m fans of both Lebron and Kobe and I don’t know why Lebron looks as if Jordan picking Kobe hurts his feelings..He will possibly get there and be better, its possible. But he had to pick one.
Who’s better D wade or Durant?
Malone or Barkley?.. Neither has rings so most people will look at MVP’s, allstar games, playoff apperance.
County of kings ok I hear that but who told the nigga to tat chosen one on his back???? He did that on his own
Bravo to Lebron for shutting Michael down. I totally agree with Truthbetold. Jordan is afraid Lebron will challenge him as best ever. Kobe is nearing the end of his career so its easy for Jordan to just throw him a bone (keep in mind that Jordan never compliments anybody).
And also, Jordan never won by himself. He couldn’t even GET to the finals. The Pistons shut his ass down. He needed a top 50 player of ALL TIME (Scotty Pippen) and others to help him get to the Finals. Most people could not name 1 other player on the Cavs team that went to the finals. Are any of them still in the league?
Anyway, EVERYBODY needs help. The only knock on LeBron is that he left his team instead of having people come to him….but who the fuck is gonna want to willingly go to Cleveland? Wade and Bosh would have been idiots. South Beach was clearly the better option to join forces. Not only the night life, but the tax benefits and Pat Riley.
LeBron is crying now…when Barkley was criticizing him, he told him to basically shut up cause he had no rings…then he also left to go chase a ring…if he didn’t he would’ve stayed in Cleveland…now rings don’t matter…u can’t have it both ways…either they do or they don’t
We will see what happens in 7 years when Lebron is in his 17th season.
Who gives a fuck WHO Jordan thinks is better? Last time I checked, Jordan couldn’t pick talent to save his life. So says, remember when he picked Kwame Brown over Tyson Chandler, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Joe Johnson…. should I keep going?
Or maybe just take a look at that Bobcats roster. Yea, MJ. Stick to being the greatest to ever play and stop being the worst to ever evaluate talent. Fuck outta here…
Also, LeBron’s mom named him The King back when she named him “LeBron”. Do a good search niggas. Yall niggas is ignorant.
@PJ32 you’re right. Wade even said in an interview he wouldn’t have gone to cleveland and it’s not just about what players are willing to come to your team but about whos coaching and whos the owner and management of the team that helps make it the right situation for you. It’s obvious Lebron made the right choice cuz look at what Dan Gilbert did when he left
