Zen Master: Kobe and Michael want to score and don't pass the ball! Kobe is better!

Legendary coach Phil Jackson said in an interview that neither Bryant nor Michael would pass the ball when they wanted to score, but early in his career, Bryant seemed more willing to pass. Jackson said: The main difference between the two superstars is their leadership style. Kobe Bryant is a better playmaker than Michael Jordan.

When it comes to accolades, Zen Master said: When it comes to championships, Finals MVPs and MVPs, Michael Jordan is higher than Kobe Bryant, and Jordan has won more in every category. But Bryant has more All-Star appearances, more NBA All-NBA teams, and more All-Defensive teams.

In terms of their tactical arrangement, it's incredible that Michael Jordan has averaged more assists in his career than Kobe Bryant. Jordan averaged 5.3 assists per game, while Kobe averaged 4.7 per game. From 1999 to 2004, Bryant averaged 5.4 assists per game, so maybe that's what Jackson was talking about, but even then, the difference wasn't very noticeable. Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players of all time, but Phil Jackson may have given him confidence when he called him a more well-rounded player than Michael Jordan.
