Former NBA stars Sebastian Telfair and Gilbert Arenas have created controversy around arguably the greatest players of all-time in two: Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan.
Telfair boldly claimed that Kobe Bryant was never good as Michael Jordan and emphasized that no one could surpass the impact Jordan had on the game. Arenas reiterated this by saying that despite Kobe being a phenomenal player, he was not as athletic as Michael Jordan while he was still at his best.
However, while Jordan’s early years were defined by unbelievable athleticism, he became increasingly reliant in his later years on midrange shots and fadeaways. Kobe Bryant-especially in his later years is often compared to Jordan for exactly the same reasons.
Ultimately, who is the greatest basketball player of all time will always be subjective and a matter of personal opinion. While one cannot argue with Jordan’s impact on the game, Kobe’s work ethic, dedication, and passion are what make him so greatly respected and admired.
