    kobe is better at fade aways. t-mac is nt a good shot blocker and hes 2 inches taller. t-mac shoots more threes.

    Everyone knows that they pretty much have the same style of play. Kobe plays better defense.

    I think everyone knows that their games are very similar. They share the typical athletic Shooting Guard body and moves.

    tmac is alot bigger than kobe. tmac shot is a fadeaway style so that means he is better at fadeaways. I think kobe drives more than tmac though.

    to me here it is.

    shooting- tmac
    defense-kobe(but not as much as most people think)
    driving-kobe
    passing-tmac
    rebounding-tmac
    clutch- kobe

    also though, kobe gets a lot more free throw opportunities than tmac, so that is what kept kobe in the chase for scoring title last year. refs and media members make kobe out as god.

    kobe is a way better passer than Tmac, but don't compare assists to passing...

    yeah that's driving, tmac doesn't drive as much as he should. he settles for the jumper too much, not that that's bad, since he shoots it great, but i personally would like to see him become more agressive in taking it to the rack.

    at the moment kobe is ,he is the one beeing compared to J after all .

    when careers are over ,it might be said like this,tmac was a great player but kobe was exceptional

    overall ,now i 'd take kobe on my team ,im sure hell become one of the best if not the best of all time

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "raptors21":</div><div class="quote_post"> t-mac is nt a good shot blocker .</div>

    umm...yea he is...for a guard, hes a great shot blocker. thats one of the things that was even said about him on draft day "because of his length and jumping ability, he is a terrific shot blocker". dont you live in toronto? didnt you go to games? i saw t mac stuff tons of people...hes a great shot blocker for a guard. obviously not compared to ben wallace or theo or any other center...but for a guard...hell ya

    and i know hes two inches taller...i was lookin for some differences in their game

    "for a guard" technically he is a pf/sf so he should be a good shot blocker cause hes so talented,hes bigger than ben [6 7 not 6 9]but thats bens game anyway

    pf/sf??? naw man...sf yea, but power? he may be taller than most guards, but that hardly makes him a pf...he plays like a gaurd/sf. hes not a power forward...hes a sg/sf

    and bigger than ben? hardly...they the same height 6'9 and ben is 240. ben is a monster.

    ye i know but he is really 6 7 not 6 9,hes not a pf but what makes him a guard is besides the shooting he handles well for a big guy but could play a sf,not a pf but hed still take alot of pfs except tim

    at this point i would compare the two like jordan and wilkins back in the 80's

    kobe = jordan
    tmac = wilkins

    both jordan and wilkins could score and had tremendous skill, but jordan was a champion and wilkins wasn't. just like kobe and t-mac currently are.
