NBA 2K12 Video - Michael Jordan vs. Kobe Bryant (Shady00018)

[fluent2332]

The video is cool, but my god, the gameplay looked bad. It was just ISOs on one side of the court with nothing else happening at all. Half the time when the shot was taken there weren't even any big men in or near the paint. I understand Kobe and Jordan ISO'd, but 8 other guys on the court didn't just stand and watch. It just looked bad.

2K is truly a game of ISO basketball. That's really the thing that 2K is best at. It's all about the ISO.

LOL are you guys seriously using a bruce blitz comparison as your proof that Jordan was better? That guy has actually argued that Jordan had a higher scoring game than Kobe's 81 by counting his assists as points. Seriously. His entire life has been devoted to hating on Kobe Bryant.

But like ggsimmonds said, this thread is about the video so I'm no longer going to respond to the debate. But to say things like "there's no comparison" and "its not even close" is pretty damn ignorant. Its closer than you think. I think folks should spend less time putting the guy down and appreciate the fact that he's the last of a dying breed in the NBA...

Anyone on these forums who wasn't old enough to see MJ play from '84 to '98 is NOT qualified to speak on the subject of MJ vs. Kobe or MJ vs. LeBron. PERIOD. Unfortunately for you, you didn't witness the greatest era in basketball and the greatest player of all time.

Feel free to compare Lebron vs. Kobe all you want, but you just sound silly when you compare anyone to MJ.

Someone, please edit the title and delete "NBA 2K12 Video".

this video is so boring. 2 minutes of fade away/turnaround jumpers....really? you couldnt mix in some other stuff?

nice vid - nice editing job, but like tetoleetd said, you could have showed us more of a variation of shots.

oh i love watching kobe even though i don't like the lakers. he's great - he can be a thrill to watch and can mirror mj quite well; i'm not being sarcastic.

actually it was rebounds, not assists - mj had i think 19 rebounds and 69 points... against a half decent defense with a tougher era of rules, mind you. 19 rebounds is big mayne, especially against hot rod williams and brad daugherty (if you even know who those guys were...). bruce blitz may be rationalizing, but it's not like he MADE those stats - a list like that does not lie.

i didn't realize the mod asked people to stop comparing the two, but i mean come on do you really expect that to not happen in a thread with a title like this?

There will always be more selfish chuckers to replace Kobe when he retires. Don't you worry!

Not sure what point you're trying to make here, but the guy was arguing that MJ's 69 point performance was a greater scoring performance than Kobe's 81 performance. At face value, it's absurd, for obvious reasons. His opinion is totally skewed, so using his "comparisons" are totally useless.

But thank you for the condescending remark, "if you know who those guys are", LOL.
