As you can see, Micheal Jordan played in the NBA for 14 seasons, the final 2 seasons Jordan came back from retirement to play for the Washington Wizards.
If Jordan did not come back to play for the Wizards, it would only mean he played 12 seasons with 6 NBA Championships, 5 NBA MVP and ect… Where Kobe currently has 5 NBA championships and 1 MVP and LeBron with 1 NBA championship and 3 MVP.
There’s a chance Kobe might get more championships and other awards but keep in mind that Jordan accomplished much more than Kobe in his 12 seasons in the NBA, where as Kobe is going on with more than 14 seasons.
On the other hand, LeBron still have many years left in his career if he can keep healthy. To me Lebron seems to be the only one that has a chance of catching up with MJ and perhaps the title of the greats basketball player ever!
That title so far is still his airness, Micheal Jordan, but what do you think? Is Kobe better than Jordan or James?
