I am curious to see what this sub thinks about this matchup. Usually, espn and other media sites put their names in the same tier in 7-10 range.

Who do you think is better between the two players? What about greater?

Bird have 3 Straight MVPs. Kobe only have 1 MVP.

Bird have 3 rings with 2 FMVP. Kobe have 5 rings with 2 FMVP.

But as for skills.

Kobe is the better scorer and defender. He also have the better work ethic. Bird is the better Shooter, Rebounder, and way better Passer.

But overall, who do you think is better and/or greater?

Bird was the best player on the team the moment he got in there. Unfortunately, Kobe was not. His story was good though. But he is not at Bird’s level. Despite Bird having McHale and Parish, those two were also not at the level of Shaq. Shaq was the most dominant force in the NBA in his prime.
