MJ on Kobe and The League

Interesting reading about MJ on Kobe's 81 points, and the age restrictions in regard to drafting.

MJ's Take

"If I was on the other side, there's no way I would have been in at the end of that game without six fouls," Jordan said Tuesday. "I don't know if I could have given up 81 points and not fouled out of the game."


Would have been an interesting match up.

Couldnt agree more... the fact Toronto didnt send a double @ Kobe until the final minutes is a disgrace to defense in the NBA.

does that mean MJ isnt "Great" because he didnt get accused of rape like Kobe did........

Why does everyone bring up the rape charges? It doesn't make Kobe any less of a player. I mean when Shane Warne got the leading test wickets noone brought up his background did they? 'oh but Shane Warne cant be as good as ____ because he was caught smoking!'

Kobe was aquttied of the rape, forget about it, it has no bearing of the player Kobe is.... awesome. The kid can hoop it up, no question.

Didn't MJ have a lawsuit in relation to affair??? Cost him a few million from memory...

Don't know what you are talking about (#69193).

MJ was very level in his answers and not at all defensive.

He did NOT say that he could stop Kobe scoring 81, only that he would have made sure he fouled Kobe 6 times before that would ever happen (a fair point too).

He basically agrees Kobe is the best SG in the league. So I am not sure what you are on suggesting that MJ is trying to drag him down.

This is not even worth debating...MJ would only of commented about Kobe cause he was asked about it. He probably did not even know about it until asked...
