If Kobe did this instead of Jordan, how would people react? (video inside)?

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/blog/the_d...

BQ: Why does Jordan get a double standard? He's had extramarital affairs. He had gambling problems. He fought with teammates. He complained to the refs. He was arrogant and cocky. What makes him different than Kobe other than that Jordan is better than him?

Update:

This wouldn't be on a local news station in the first place. I'm pretty sure this will show up on ESPN though.

Update 2:

Simple: more people like to bring up Kobe's attitude than Jordan's. Its basically blasphemy if you discredit Jordan in anyway. People hate on Kobe for his personality yet those same people love Jordan even though he's done just as much as Kobe. I don't think Kobe and Jordan are bad people for these reason though.

    MJ is a cocky mofo, I tell ya. People say Kobe cocky? MJ said that he wouldn't allow 81 points to be scored by Kobe if he was guarding him. He also said he would score 100 points in today's league. He said Kobe is a top 10 PERIMETER player of all time. Top 10? Are you kidding me?

    LOL. This guy is a joke. I don't care about his legacy. He clearly hates Kobe and hate that he's the most popular and successful player today.

    whats the big deal?

    If Kobe went back to his high school he played at in Italy or wherever and said "hey if you guys win the championship ill get you some cool shoes" there would also be no big deal

    theres a reason this is a BLOG and not a real news article

    BQ - what are you using as evidence for your claims of a double standard?

    wel i guess the answer is that Jordan was better, Kobe has had a few people close to him in domination during his career, Duncan, Lebron, etc

    Jordan was head and shoulders FAR above any of his competition, during MJs prime there were no heated debates about who the best player in the league was, the answer was Jordan, period

    this era its not so crystal clear that Kobe is the unquestioned greatest of his generation

    Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. At the peak in their respective powers, Shaq used to be a decide on and roll nightmare the likes of which Jordan and Pip on no account needed to manage. Kobe used to be an all-NBA defender, and a significant offensive risk. Only side of his sport Michael Jordan can have had him beat used to be lengthy-distance. You when compared profession stats, that is adorable, however Kobe Bryant got here into the NBA as a teen out of top college. The trianlge used to be the one offensive procedure he knew, and he didn't see a lot of the ball as an NBA freshman. Then he performed with offensive juggernaut Shaq. Conversely, Jordan got here in as an offensive weapon from UNC, and he used to be contending for scoring titles and sporting his group from Day a million. So the profession assessment isn't thoroughly reasonable. Then, too, Pippen ALWAYS performed the opponent's excellent perimater participant on security, releasing Jordan as much as tackle quantity two. Kobe has consistently been his group's lead perimeter defender. Having stated that, MJ and Pip have been the excellent wing tandem ever, surely. But should you needed to begin a group with any 2 guys, you would pass excellent gigantic and excellent wing, on this case Shaq and Kobe.

    Kobe would be treated like a murderer.

    BQ: Jordan was basically a hero for millions of people back in the 80s and 90s. MJ also didn't have to put up with the internet and media that other stars put up with.

    lol~ NC is sponsered by Jordan, they can't wear anything else.

    Jordan had a point.

    it that is like Lebron is drinking Gatoraid while being sponsered

    by Vitamin Water. that is why every post game press Lebron had

    to tare off the lable of the gatoraid before he can go on the stage.

    also, Jordan was hated when he was with the bulls, I remember

    I hated him with Passion and get in fights with other bull fans

    in school, Jordan too was a ball hog, complaints with ref and all

    the things that Kobe did. I guess Kobe will be remember as one of

    the greatest who played this game.

    I thought it was kind of funny. Jordan does get hate now that people have found out all of his skeletons. But when he was playing he played the part of perfect role model. now, people realize that he's a jerk and look, he's no longer really talked about that much, and when he is it's generally negative. Unlike someone like Muhammad Ali.

    exactly i agree Jordan is overated. he played in one of the weakest eras. he beat an injured Byron Scott and James Worthy.

    JORDAN 0 RINGS WITHOUT PIPPEN

    JORDAN 0 MVP WITHOUT PIPPEN

    JORDAN LOSING RECORD WITHOUT PIPPEN

    KOBE 2 RINGS WITHOUT SHAQ

    KOBE AN MVP WITHOUT SHAQ

    KOBE WINNING RECORD WITHOUT SHAQ

    KOBE STILL SHOWS LEADERSHIP AND STEPS UP WITHOUT SHAQ. LOOK AT HIS 50 PLUS 4 IN A ROW.

    DONT SAY HE HAS GASOL HES AN ALLSTAR NOT A HOF LIKE PIPPEN.
