Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant passed Michael Jordan for 3rd on the NBA all-time scoring list. Of course that’s kicked the comparisons between the two shooting guards up a notch or two or ten. Reggie Miller has played against both legendary players and knows a lot about the game. He was asked to compare Bryant and Jordan while answering several different questions on The Dan Patrick Show.
When asked who was tougher to defend, Miller said “No question, Michael Jordan on his worst day is ten times better than Kobe Bryant on his best day.” He says he would take Jordan, all day, any day, over Kobe. He then repeated the statement.
Miller then went on to give Kobe credit for his career, longevity and accomplishments. He also said Jordan and Kobe are two of the best to ever do it.
Starts around the 5:15 mark:
By the way, Reggie Miller fought both Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan too. I figured why not include those videos for you guys.
Everyone still holds Michael Jordan as the greatest of all time and I doubt Kobe’s final two years in the league will change that. Bryant passing Jordan on the all-time scoring list is a great accomplishment however and he will still go down as one of the best players ever in the game.
