Kobe Bryant’s Flu-Ridden Effort Doesn’t Compare to Michael Jordan’s Finals Gem

Throughout his career, it's almost been natural to compare Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant's every move to that of the legendary Michael Jordan.

Kobe had the opportunity during Game 6 of the Lakers' first-round series against the Denver Nuggets to pull off something Jordan-like as Bryant took the floor sick as a dog Thursday night.

While he scored 31 points and had a very good game, Kobe's efforts under the weather don't even slightly compare to Jordan's Game 5 performance of the 1997 NBA Finals.
