Stephen Jackson: I’m as Good as Kobe Bryant

10.15.2009 - Updated on 10.15.2009

Jackson took his beef with Kobe to a public level. I don’t think he’s ever been a fan of Kobe. Especially to an official street dude like Jax, Bryant isn’t going to get the benefit of the doubt. So if he really called Jax young fella (though they’re the same age), better believe Jax really didn’t like that. In essence, Jax got dissed by a suburbanite. On top of what he thought was some dirty play.

JACKSON: “I’m not going to bow down. I’m not a fan of Kobe. I’m not somebody who looks up to him. I’m a grown man myself. So when I go out there and play the game, I play the game. I feel like I’m just as good as him. I might not get the publicity or notoriety he gets, but I feel like I can play with anybody in the NBA any given night.”

lakrs08 duznt know what hes talking about. when u admit sumone is better than u, u have sumthing to prove. You need to prove you can be better than that guy. dont believe me? ask Stoudamire, lebron, wade. they have all said kobe was better than them, and now dwade and lebron are better than they were b4 and getting closer to kobe’s level (real close) because they used there shortcomings to motivate themselves so they could improve themselves. Jackson isnt going to get any better denying the stats, and saying hes as gud as kobe. Dont get me wrong, maybe he is (and i dont think he is) as gud as kobe, but if u are that gud jackson — prove it. .

Oh who cares. Kobe has showed everyone that watches basketball, he is the best. This "I am as good as Kobe" is exactly what a competitor should say and try to be. If Jackson said "kobe is better than me, I am not equal to his talent" now why would he say that? Come on media stop making something out of nothing. .
