Hall of Fame coach Phil Jackson has revealed the difference between legendary players Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
Both are renowned as the greatest players in the history of the NBA because of their influential performance. Chicago Bulls player Coby White was recently quoted in a report where he stated that he had a chance to speak to Jackson who highlighted what was the difference between both players.
"Because I know Kobe really tried to emulate Mike, MJ," he said. "The main thing he said was that Kobe didn't have a conscience and Michael Jordan did. Basically he said if after the game Mike wasn't 50 percent from the field, he would kind of be disappointed. Kobe could go 7-for-25 and he really didn't care."
Jordan had a fabulous career in every manner where he ended up registering more than 30,000 points. His best season was in 1986-87 where he registered 3041 points. He finished 11 seasons as the leading points scorer in the NBA.
