Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant have both left a lasting legacy on the basketball court, serving as ideal role models for aspiring young players. Their names frequently surface whenever the best player’s debate is discussed.
Recently, this discussion heated up again when former NBA star Dwight Howard made a bold claim about Bryant’s legacy over Jordan’s.
During his appearance on “Gil’s Arena Live” with Gilbert Arenas, the former NBA star expressed his belief that Kobe Bryant was a more skilled player than Michael Jordan.
“I think Kobe better than MJ skill-wise. He took everything Jordan did and multiplied it. He did it better. He had the fadeaway, the drive, the pump fake,” Howard said.
Fans React to Dwight Howard’s Bold Statement Favoring Kobe Bryant’s Legacy Over Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan have played each other eight times in their careers. During these matchups, Bryant’s Los Angeles Lakers won five games, giving him a slight edge in their head-to-head meetings. However, Michael Jordan holds a more impressive record when it comes to championships and accolades.
Jordan has six NBA championships under his belt, compared to Bryant’s five. Jordan also has six Finals MVP awards and five regular-season MVP awards, while Bryant earned two Finals MVPs and one regular-season MVP.
The debate between fans of these two NBA legends is never-ending, with each side passionately defending their player’s legacy. Recently, former NBA star Dwight Howard’s bold statement favoring Kobe Bryant over Michael Jordan reignited this debate.
Jordan’s fans were quick to respond, criticizing Howard’s comments and claiming Jordan’s superior achievements. They argue that Jordan’s impressive record makes him the greatest player ever.
Kobe was a copy paste version of Jordan, and maybe that’s why he was also a POS teammate and person.
Kobe got a lucky headstart with his career as well, because he wasn’t even the best player on the team until SHAQ left. SHAQ was the most dominant force in modern basketball

On the other hand, Bryant’s fans supported Howard’s assessment, praising his view as a fitting tribute to the late NBA star. They believe that Bryant’s skills and impact on the game were on par with, if not greater than Jordan’s.
This ongoing debate between fans of these basketball icons showcases the enduring legacies of both players and their impact on the sport.
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
