In the sports world, this is one of the biggest arguments to-date. But Washington Wizards’ Dwight Howard feels that Kobe outplayed Jordan in every aspect.
“As a matter of fact, many believed that to have been a failed experiment, which led to Howard walking away from the Purple and Gold the following summer as a free agent,” Paolo Songco of Clutch Points.
“Nevertheless, the forgettable season he had with the Lakers does not make him think any less of former teammate Kobe Bryant, who Howard actually thinks is better than the great Michael Jordan.”
Keep in mind that Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant reportedly would butt heads, so to speak, on the court. So if anything, this should add weight to Howard’s opinion regarding Kobe being far better than Jordan.
“He may have not liked him on a personal level, but perhaps the year they spent together as teammates was enough to prove to Howard that in his mind, Kobe is indeed the GOAT,” Songco states.
