Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan are very close when it comes down to sports and how big their names are in the celebrity world, but which name is the biggest brand.
According to the Forbes Celebrity 100 list, Kobe Bryant is placed at no.25 while Michael Jordan is only one place under him at no.26.
Now they make this list based on what they say is “a combination of earnings and sizzle”, but what I want to know is how you feel about Kobe Bryant being a bigger name than Michael Jordan.
Who do you feel is the biggest brand, Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan?

I definitely wouldnt have believed that Kobe the Brand would be bigger the MJ, not until I heard the stories out of the Asian Tour Kobe just went on. I have family out there and he said it was like crazier than the Pope being there (please God dont strike me for saying that…). I think Kobe has got a lot of things against him, but if he wins another championship, I have no doubt Kobe will be the biggest brand in all of sports, let alone basketball!
I think kobe is a bigger brand than michael. He is dramatic, dynamic and charasmatic. Michael has all these things but kobe is more controvesial and polarizing which add to his intrigue.
Kobe Bryant is bigger than m.j.
their is no way m.j. is bigger.
people say m.j.
people don’t on anything but stats.
give Kobe Bryant a little longer and he will be bigger
in everything.
Kobe Bryant is the best basketball player ever.
He will Be the dominate one for ever period…………..
(i am on page 3 also) Wow budday i cant believe u think kobe is bigger and skill wise better than mj. He is the GOd of bball. First of all MJ has fresh shoes. Have u eva seen kobe’s. Man day ugly, look em up. No one would ever buy dem. Mj’s on the other hand are mad fresh and people buy them all the time, THEY RUN OUT OF STOCK IN STORES! MJ is the best at ball’n. Buy his vid’s and watch how good he is and then talk! PUNKS!
YO ABOUT ANY BASKETBALL PLAYER CAN GET 81 POINTS. IT ONLY TAKES ONE WORD. BALLHOG. MJ COULDVE GOTTEN 100 POINTS BUT HE AINT A BALL HOG. HE PASSES THE BALL. KOBE HOG IT. MJ GOT HIS TEAM INVOLVED.
I love it. You can’t disrespect MJ, but Kobe gets a lot of disrespect. This just shows the haters how big Kobe is, and it’s because he’s an even more exciting player than Jordan.
umm your retarded if you think that kobe could even come close to being as good as jordan.. if you go to google and type in the greatest basket ball player in the world jordans name will be the first thing you will see
Well, Kobe is definitely the bigger namesake, but the era has to be taken into consideration. Kobe is living in a time where the whole world is taking interest in basketball while Jordan played in a time where basketball wasn’t as worldwide (parts of Europe outside of America). This means that people in China know Kobe and buy whatever has his name because they are familar with him and he is the best thing CURRENTLY (I am not going pro or con, just saying the record book has not been closed yet so we really don’t know if he will be the best ever) in basketball. However, Jordan’s name might not be as recognized in places like China because, well, time has passed him by and it is highly unlikely there is a huge population base in Asia that actually experienced the Jordan era ( I should know because I am an Asian that lived during that era and I’m glad I got to experience it). What does this mean in short? Kobe is more worldwide because the NBA is more worldwide now. Jordan is limited America/Europe because the NBA was not as worldwide back then so countries that just tuned in to the NBA might not really know or idolize him. So, Kobe has the benefit of the NBA expanding to help him spread his name while Jordan didn’t.
Kobe needs to thank MJ!! Jordan set it so guys like Kobe and King James can make the name or brand they have!! Just like MJ must thank Dr. J!!
You are comparing the God of basketball to kobe? Please.
Although I can’t deny kobe is a great player I do not think his brand is bigger.
He was a legend and you can’t just even that.
I mean. We are talking about MJ, AIR Jordan now.
Although there may come players who are better ( perhaps kobe but we can’t really compare because Jordan is kinda old now:P ) then mj, I deffinitly think Mj’s brand is bigger
I’m a fan of Kobe Bryant, but I think MJ is a bigger brand right now because he got his own brand instead labeled under Nike.
Kobe’s yet to do that. If Kobe had “Kobe” brand then lets talk.
kobe is the second best nba player of all time , the best is of course michael jordan !!! kobe 95 % jordan 100 %, kobe is better shooter than jordan but in over statistics jordan wins more kobe will probaly finish his career very close to jordan but yet a little far away.
Errbody know’s kobe iz da best and da bigger brand rite now.
thiers nothin no one can do.
kobe onstopble lik dat.
kobe iz bigger than m.j.
I THINK KOBE BRYAN N MJ ARE THE SAME..
