why kobe will always have a better case than lebron against jordan
kobe has no control over who votes for mvp or how they vote for mvp
him having 4 less mvps than jordan isn't even anything he can dictate or protect himself against
babe ruth
maurice richard
jerry rice
arguably the 3 GOAT players in their sport... only 1 mvp each aswell
however .. lebron james DOES have control over his finals record..him having 4 more losses than jordan IS something he can dictate and protect himself against
kareem abdul jabbar is a 2 time finals mvp. and 6 time players association mvp. and hes a legit GOAT candidate. had the players voted for mvp. kobes resume would have been on par with kareems and he would also be in that discussion
we can argue validity and criteria all day. but the fact is it changes to fit whomever the media deems fit to represent their vote
you can make a case for a guy when he doesn't have allot of help
- or when his team has a top record regardless of help
- or when hes just having a great year statistically with a good record
- or even just if his teammates injured
depending on which way you wanna twist it.. kobe could have had a case for mvp in 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2013
you can say "no way. so and so was better in that year" who cares. its all opinion. which is what the award is based on.
and no matter what argument anyone gives. there will always be other selections that go against any specific criteria.
so in the end... all that matters is what michael jordan himself thinks. because hes the man people are trying to catch. if he says 1 guys better. then guess what

The only way to try harder than the Griff did with the OP...
Bump the OP himself.

lebron fans know finals losses hurt more than anything
if kobe was 6 for 6 with 1 mvp... he'd be closer to jordan even if lebron was 6 for 10 with 4 mvps

But congrats on trying to keep Kobe relevant, eventually these threads won't be created anymore....and I will actually miss them.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

Griffmonkey still trolling with the same bullshit from 2006...Kobe has been irrelevant for 5 years or more, and the fact that he COST the Lakers multiple titles will keep him from EVER achieving Jordan / LeBron status...

Griff...BY FAR. Most Bulls trolls have let go of the D-Rose "era" by now.

Griff lost in another decade. Options for his next thread include...
- Kevin Federline should have dumped that skunk Britney Spears a long time ago. I'm bout to copy that dude's look for the next decade.
- This cartoon movie, "Cars" is gonna be better than Toy Story.
- Evanescence and Gnarls Barkley are going to be the most popular bands for the next 15 years... behind Limp Bizkit of course.
- The Wire is gonna go down as one of the worst tv shows of all time.

The ONLY thing Kareem has on Jordan is a longer career (which by default = more cumulative stats). Jordan is at least marginally better with regards to peak performance, scoring and defense.
Russell is 11 for 11....and 99.7% of people don't place him #1 on their list.

Yeah, but Kobe beat the Nets, 76ers and Magic!
That's a murderer's row right there.

1a Kareem
1b Jordan
2. Russell
3-10 LeBron & Kobe fall in line somewhere.

Honest truth, Larry Bird is the greatest ever, especially considering the fact that he pretty much singlehandedly saved the NBA from extinction...The only player who you could argue for above Bird is Jordan, though he falls short...
Everyone else after those two...LeBron has ascended up this list at a rapid pace...
