Now that Kobe Bryant is only one championship behind THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME MICHAEL JORDAN, it's only inevitable that the Bryant-Jordan comparisons get going again. But this time, Jordan's inner circle seems to be on the defensive. Already, Charles Oakley has weighed in, saying that while Kobe is great, Jordan had a "different swagger."
That was a diplomatic response This response from Jordan's son Marcus was not. Here's what he had to say about this so-called debate.
NO ONE...And I mean NO ONE should EVER com par kobe Bryant to my dad an say that he is anywhere near close to my dad He's jagging this game
I agree - nobody should com par them. Oh, you meant "compare?" Oooohhh. Clearly that's a different matter altogether.
