Who will win if Kobe and Jordan fight one-on-one? The Zen master hit the nail on the head, netizens: This is nothing wrong

In the long history of the NBA, Jordan and Kobe are undoubtedly the two most dazzling superstars. They have won the love and respect of countless fans in different eras with their outstanding football skills and unparalleled dominance in the game. In addition, Jordan and Kobe also have similar figures, styles of play and winning mentality, which is why countless fans put them together to discuss.

Although Jordan and Kobe's peak period were not in the same era, the one-on-one match between these two superstars at their peak has always been a hot topic among fans. Regarding this question, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson previously gave his answer in an interview.

As we all know, Zen masters have worked closely with Jordan and Kobe respectively during their coaching career, and have a deep understanding of the technical characteristics and game style of the two superstars. When asked who would win the one-on-one fight between Jordan and Kobe, the Zen master chose Jordan without hesitation. He believes that Jordan's talent has an advantage in singles.

Zen Master specifically pointed out that Jordan has a pair of big hands, which makes him more relaxed in control of basketball. Jordan is able to make many incredible moves, such as catching the ball with one hand while dribbling against the basket flexibly, a skill that is not common in Kobe. In addition, Jordan is better than Kobe in terms of athletic ability, muscle dimension and body fat percentage, which makes him more advantageous in a one-on-one showdown.

In addition, the Zen master also recalled the interesting scenes of Kobe and Jordan's first meeting. At that time, Zen master coached the Lakers, and retired Jordan came to watch the game. The Zen master suggested that Jordan communicate with Kobe after the game and share some experiences. However, the first sentence after Kobe met with Jordan was: "I can defeat you one-on-one." Jordan responded with a smile: "It is possible that I have retired for some years."

From the perspective of honors and data, Jordan is obviously a better scorer than Kobe, with a career average of 30.1 points in history, and he scored ten times to win the score. In comparison, Kobe averaged 25 points per game in his career, and the two scoring leaders are obviously much inferior. Although Kobe has the same excellent offensive skills as Jordan, the biggest gap between the two is physical talent and athletic ability, which is also what the Zen master believes is the gap between the two.

In fact, Jordan and Kobe have a very good private relationship, and they can be said to be both a teacher and a friend. Jordan once claimed that Kobe was the only one who could beat him in a one-on-one fight, and the latter responded that the person who could beat him had retired in 1998. In addition, Kobe also bluntly stated that all his skills came from Jordan, and even asked him in person many times. Jordan also cried bitterly at Kobe's memorial service. The friendship between the two is a good story in competitive sports and is talked about by fans.
