There are so many out there who debate about LeBron James or Michael Jordan, but Gilbert Arenas joined into the debate on his instagram about Kobe Bryant or MJ. Even though Arenas did not really answer the question he was asking to his followers, a lot of what he said showed he believes Jordan is the better of the two.

Many of the statements at the end of the post say if Bryant had this and this, then he would have been on the same level or potentially even better than Jordan. Most of these dealt with physical stature and athletic ability rather than actual skill when it came to the game of basketball.

Debates like these will always go on because certain people just seem to prefer certain aspects of the game over others. Arenas may favor Jordan, but he explains the qualities in Byant that make it hard for him to officially announce his choice. What is yours?
