Legendary baller Michael Jordan recently sat down with NBA TV, where he revealed that if he had to choose between Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, he would choose Kobe. Jordan, who's widely regarded as the best player of all time, based his decision on Kobe's five championship titles.
"Five beats one every time I look at it. And not that (James) won't get five. He may get more than that, but five is bigger than one."
After hearing the news, LeBron kept a cool head about the situation, saying "It doesn't matter to me. If you take Kobe one and I go second, it doesn't matter."
He added, "I don't get too involved in what guys say about me or if you take Kobe or if you take LeBron. As long as I'm on the floor and I make plays for my teammates, I don't do what I do for other people's approval."
Do you agree with Jordan?

Lebron is better then Kobe Kobe was drafted to the Lakers an already established franchise over many years lebron went to Cleveland they never won shit .kobe always had major help shaq was one of the best centers of all time without shaq they had a lineup filled wit 7 footers pau gasol ,Lamar odom,and Andrew Bynum when they beat the magic and celtics they were by far the best team in the league due to size and athleticism lebron had delonte mo Williams Pavlovian and varejo Lebron makes players look good mo Williams went to the all star game on Cleveland bc of lebron Kobe never made pau good he made him worse pau was a Allstar on Memphis just like Chris bosh on Toronto to make a long story short Kobe had way more help then lebron on Cleveland and lebron single handily took over every game on Cleveland if it ain't him scoring he's assisting no one was ever built like lebron and culd play like him in the history of the nba .

Get your facts straight. Kobe was drafted to New Orleans he was traded to the Lakers first of all, second of all Kobe made Bynum who he his and Gasol was still an all star on the Lakers. Varejao is no slouch and Antwan Jameson was an all star as well. Dalton's West and Mo Williams averaged more than Gasol and Bynum at the time, and Odom didn't run the show, Kobe did. Kobe always ran the show and never got swept in the finals. Kobe has been to more championships than Jordan, and only one less win. And Kobe has had the least help out of all 3 players (Kobe Lebron and Jordan) 3rd of all an established franchise in the past doesn't mean a thing. Before Kobe got to the Lakers they sucked even with Shaq. All the later players came AFTER THEY BUILT THE TEAM AROUND KOBE. End of the line, Kobe over Lebron all day.

Ima keep it funky, I love Jordan as a player but dislike him as a human being. How many have to die before he speak out against violence. Making less shoes just to see ppl fight or get killed over them . Still on his gambling shit n we all see how that turned out. Smh! My role model will forever be my parents.

lebron is a booty popping, hair line backed up like traffic having bitch. In cleveland lebron had good enough players to elevate them. He aint no leader like jordan was to inspire motherfuckers. Lebron needed to be around other superstars (wayde, gay ass bosh) to win a ring. fuck out of here jordan did it with regular good players. Lebron bitch ass neede superstars to win it. fuck out of here you lebron booty popping groupies..
