- NBA Top 40 dunks: Michael Jordan vs Kobe Bryant
Who's the greatest? Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant? His Airness or the Kobester? #23 or #24?
Lots of people are still arguing with eachothers trying to find the right answer. But regarding the dunk area, which one was the best?
One unleashed the "rock the cradle" dunk. The other has made the baseline windmill jam his dunk signature. Both are known for their incredible athletic skills.
Here are 40 dunks (21 for Kobe & 19 for Jordan) that every player would like to add in his résumé.
You can argue with the order but I think the very best dunks from these two players are in this top 40.
So which one is/was the greatest dunker? Air Jordan ord Black Mamba? You can watch now...make your choice!

the more I see Kobe dunks, the more I think they look slam dunk contest dunks ... man Kobe did windmills front side ,baselines, reverse , facials so on and so on. dude is a beast and to think he had one of his greatest years with a broken finger and to torn ligaments in his shooting hand for basically 2 years and still putting up numbers . Going to miss you Kobe but ThankGod for RUclips...
forreal!
+Noah Cline hell yea I couldn't agree anymore he puts o a show e single night!!!! and now the mamba is retiring I wish we could get him Durant a Whiteside add Simmons and a butler type guy with k knockdown shooters and Chase that 🏆 ring 😁😁😁 I cN dream right he had. great career without the I injury yq never know where he would be 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 wise or even more. once thing for isr there will never be a #Michael Jordan or #koebeanbryany #23jordan and 24bryant legendsne
marv323 thank u marv. real recognize real...lotta ppl write off kobe
Now ur going to miss him even more, now that he's gone literally.
😢😢😢😢 Thanks for appreciating the legend when he was still with us. To me that's real love because most people don't appreciate something or someone until they're gone.
MJ and Kobe were both all time greats. Some MJ fans act as if Jordan invented basketball. If Kobe wasn't so good they would ignore him. Instead many attack his game because he's the only player whose game is close to MJ. MJ set a high standard. Kobe has come close to that standard. I think they both can be appreciated for their greatness.
Kobe is a fantastic player, but you don't attack a clone!!!
Bro, ur so right!! I think kobe learned from the greats, and developed his own game!! He did what mj did and more!! Thats what great players do.
Most people dont think so!! But your right to, thats exactly what great players do.😎👍
Kobe Bryant is the second best basketball player I've ever seen. And Lebron doesn't fit into this conversation at all, any way shape or how. Kobe and MJ were dominant forces of nature, each was the undisputed best player in the league for a decade. They tried to say lebron was better than Kobe when he hit the league. But no.
Kobe is the best clutch shooter of all time. Better than curry. Curry can shoot 3s better of course. But clutch? Its Kobe, and that's just a taste of what he could do
I agree with you
Those reverse Kobe dunks.
Kobe is probably one of the most underrated in-game dunkers of all time. When the players signature dunk is a baseline reverse that is usually done with 1 or more players contesting the shot, you know that player a hell of a dunker.
I like his 360 dunks more. He stopped doing them in 09 or 08 but he was really good at those.
Not #8 kobe. Yea as he got older 2008 to 2011 he could still jam but didn't as much. But before this dude was feard for posterising people.
He won a dunk contest. Lol
Facts I really don’t understand why people ignore his skills he dunk with finesse he didn’t have as much hops as Jordan but he still amazed me
and i was born in 85 been watchin Jordan since I was 4 and I just think kobe better just my opinion!!!
kobe built different this sport was bmade for kobe he is the least fearless player of all time and works harder than every body in the history he made 2000 shots a day and other stuff
Comparing those 2 is just sinful, I had the best times watchin those 2 alphas dominate the game and win championships, my opinion stop comparing and be thankful u lived to see the 2 GOATs
kobe's footwork defies the laws of physics.
jlefebre6001 you dont even know the law of physics
Most people don't realize the lean in mid air Jordan did is a different dynamic. Mike was bedazzling. I didn't realize how much power Kobe used to finish with. Don't really get a chance to examine it until watching the film again. Rest in peace to Kobe he was no doubt a beast on the court.
They were both equally spectacular. The one thing MJ had was those hands, able to fully control the ball, bring it way fro the defender and then back to slam it home. He was also a greater pure leaper. But Kobe had incredible body control and equal flair.
Everything Kobe had MJ had and more. The Fadeaway Jump shot that no other NBA player has been able to make look as graceful, not even Kobe. A graceful game that deceives people into believing LeBron is a lot stronger because of how easy everything looked ala his graceful movement. The Large hands.

Jordan’s dunks: amazing elevation
Kobe’s dunks: amazing range of arm motion
I can never choose between these two. I'm blessed to have witnessed both all time greats. Also, throw in Dr. J., Dominique Wilkins, Vince Carter, Shawn Kemp, etc...there's no shortage of great in game dunkers. Just sit back and enjoy the show.
nobody could palm the ball like mj. that one hand magnet style made him tell the ball what to do and gave him somuch more second of thinking(playing time) up in that air. Kobe was a beast Yes! but even though he tried to master Jordans style growing up, its like he ran outta time before he came into hs=is own mastering his own style just using his Jordan mimic as training. U can see by looking at how he tried to master the one hand palm but never just , quite, quite got it. You can see him tuck it but it isnt it. But it still works and helped Kobe be a master. Jordan just made it look so easy and he looked so light out there. like he wasnt even playing a sport. from the way he jumpped then in mid air would just hit "next level please" and shoot up even higher. By the way the ball looked like it was glued to his hand , he used and mastered the air force. he would get up there rock around and just throw it in so light like clean like! 😜🤪😝
@@lovehildagrey "nobody could palm the ball like mj"......Julius Erving, Connie Hawkins....
Kobe Bryant has more fascinating dunks than Jordan
two of the greatest basketball players of all of time just awesome
Jordan is the goat
@@crow2111 Kobes right behind him
kobe was great, but MJ still the best, one unique skill of mj is like he hangs on the air that makes him control the ball not only on dunks but also lay-ups and perimeter shots,
no human can stay in the air longer than 1 sec. his hang time is an illusion
When it comes to dunks I disagree
Kobe's in game dunks are just on another level

@@lovehildagrey lol kobe more impressive becos he got less size hand..look at jordans hand its so big like a giant's hand thats why hes gaining an advantagee
That behind the back by Kobe at the end was stunning
Yes it was
ivanduvok behind the back euro-reverse dunk....my favorite dunk of all time
@@logantaylor8941 mine as well
mj fan. but have to give props on kobe's reverse dunk. his hand has to be moving fast in order to reach the basket after reversing his hand.
I gotta give Kobe props... he didn't jump as high as MJ, and he didn't have the huge hands of MJ, but he was creative and used the athleticism he did have to make some amazing dunks.
Jordan was like a science experiment where they crafted the best possible physical and mental specimen in a lab. He was unreal.
Kobe number one dunk was all skills in effect ! I just wished he had bigger hands ! Don't sleep on number 10
Personally i think #8 in this video is one of the greatest dunks of all time
Not to HATE on Jordan but Kobe's dunks had more flare and power than MJ's.. Jordan just had better hangtime
True
Matt Edmonds Jordan was known for his bounce to the ounce, not his flair
Actually Kobe over Jordan for overall best player. Kobe is the most skilled player in NBA history.
agree 100%
they get compared to jordan cuz jordan played before kobe
KOBE all the way!!! Beauty and Beast!!!
that last dunk alone from kobe takes it
Jordan all day
this sport was built for kobe idiot
They were, from a phisical stand point, totally different: when Michael jumped, he jumped so High, such a strenght in his legs, that he quite stopped whilst in the air; on the other hand Kobe looked like a spring, or a Rubber band, Who streched with his all body to reach the rim from impossible positions..
we all know overall player jordan over kobe but we're talking about what we seen on this video.. Kobe takes it. biased opinions is a real problem
Great dunks by both MJ and KB🏀
One thing Jordan and Kobe have in common is that Kwame Brown never did shit for either of them.
Kwame was a slightly below average player. Averaged 11 and 7 in his best season, which is ok. He was also a solid defender, not good, just solid.
I’m dead 😂
Jordan my favorite but he lost dat kobe dunks was wetter hands down
@SkyH23 lol he forgot some kobe dunks too.
Kobe 's favorite player is Michel Jordan
but he passed mj it doesnt mean that he cant pass him 🐍🐍🐐🐐 kobe goat
It’s magic
Kobe will always be the best of the best of the best
Jordan was more graceful and had more creativity. Kobe had more oomph!
both are better than that one trick pony Lebron.
iam josh あなたファック、神戸はヨルダンよりもはるかに優れています
Agreed
+iam josh Who the Hell is LeBron ??????????? Is a basketball player ???????
Are you on crack?
.youre wrong man..yea jordan is better.actually the best but kobe is more graceful.kobe is the definition of the beauty of basketball.peace men.
Can't still believe his Dead 😥😥
#RIP kobe
two words
Michael. Jordan.
just listen to the crowd reaction. kobe had great talent but mj more electrifying
Kobe had to work harder than Jordan which made kobes dunks better! Common sense stuff for any observer unless there's a bias! Jordan's physical strength made for much more effortless attack while Kobe wasn't as strong but that killer instinct may be unmatched! Wasn't always knowledge behind his attack but it got the job done enough
kobe's dunks is a monster but nothing beats mj in the air
Yeah
Jordan are the best dunker and player of all time
Excuse me but didn't i see lots of Dr.J moves in here from Jordan?? DAMN RIGHT SHUT YO MOUTH JORDAN @$$KISSER!!,
yes!
Please speak with sense
Young Jordan could elevate higher than Kobe, he had a max of 48 inch vertical, MJ also had really huge hands that allows him to grip the ball like a tennis ball, Kobe has longer arms tho.. both had the hangtime but In my personal opinion Kobe is the better dunker
+Peter Griffin Jordan could get his head 6 inches above the rim? Best I've ever seen is just barely meeting the level of the rim.
yeah but overrated as a dunker
@@Mayordomo32 Kobe had a dunk against the Sixers where he is at least 6 inches above the rim he is looking down in the rim. The dunk on Dwight Howard he is def looking down in rim. So Mj def hang more. There has been a few players in nba that def look down in the rim. Blake Griffin, Shawn Kemp, Nique, Gerald Green, Deandre Jordan.not just Mj or Kobe. They all jump higher than both of them
@@jam5scott13 Kobe never got his head at the same level of the rim. Jordan did it so many times.
@@johnlestersunaya3835 Jordan had more vert but Kobe had more Dexterity. Their both amazing in game dunkers!
GOATS 1 and 1A. 💯 🏀 R.I.P. Mamba🙏
Jordan elevates with style and finesse. That's why its easy to take a picture of Jordan airborne and turn it into an athletic logo. Most of Kobe's dunks are sorta lanky with him leaning into the defense. Kinda lacks that athletic flair. Jordan elevates while Kobe stretch and reach..
Perfect comment, my thoughts exactly!
exactly you did a perfect coment
That's true, but that's not Kobe's fault. Jordan was just more physically gifted.
You can make Jordan's dunk into a logo because it's very easy to draw unlike Kobe who has to twist his body a lot.
BuShi Do look up kobes 360dunks cyke
Kobe Bryant is the better dunker, much more creative and stylish. Really no contest to me if we are watching this video.
kassaiscool the only video u have watched
They are the best Basketball players ever! I see no difference between the two of them! I also think that Kobe's dunks were more powerful than Jordan's!!
MJ the GOAT
dam when kobe dunked on yao i remember that shit... nasty
and on dwight!!!!
The only dunker that is better than the two legends is Vince Carter.
Vince, Shawn Kemp, and Dominque Wilkins were all better in game dunkers.
@Oasis wrong, Kobe's skills on crossover are very superior to Jordan
they both so good
i know they are both nice player but for me Jordan is most the best and legend......but they have an other style...
They are both spectacular!!! awesome! !!
I like kobes dunks more
There's MJ & Kobe!! Then there's the rest of the nba!!
Kobe BRiYANTe! El más grande, ahí están los higth lights, q cada quien juzgué, sin tremendos ambos pero kobe es impresionante como domina el juego!!
Kobe's in-game dunks according to this video is more exciting than Michael's in MY opinion! Kobe loves going baseline to do that reverse or double clutch dunk which is amazing. They both make jumping over the top or using that lean on you dunks look real easy but I know it's not easy as they make it! 1 & 2 all-time shooting guards in NBA HISTORY!
my favorite Jordan moment of all time 9:54. UNTOUCHABLE.
Best ever
Kobe's dunks is a work of art compare to MJ's that's a fact.
Don't ever compete with mj I tell you.
#6 is one of the most amazing dunks I've ever seen. Watch it in slow motion. He's literally tilted, at an angle, leaning in the air while doing a full double pump dunk. The hangtime is stunning.
Thats a leaning windmill yes. Thats MJ at his best. Most players cant do a leaning dunk let alone a leaning windmill.
Jordan is obviously a better dunker. He was extremely strong, not only compared to Kobe but virtually compared to ANY guard ever played the league with the exception of Magic Johnson who's size (and skill) was extraordinary. That said of course Kobe is as skilled as possible, but MJ has MUCH harder defences (90-93 Knicks, 87-90 Pistons and Boston, etc.). Playing with Pistons MJ many times choose to go for a lay-up just to avoid an injury (from Lambeer & Co).
In my opinion the most stunning dunk (and move) is the dunk on Ewing after he escapes from a 'trap', the explosion and power are unequal (Especially judging the timing... Another dunk that is amazing IMHO is no 37 at Miami. The height at which Jordan gets the ball is unreal, seriously, UNREAL.
ADDENDUM: A couple of notes... Many commenters here state that Bryant was more explosive... That's the camera. I don't know where the OP got his angles from, but watching the same MJ dunks on 'real time' gives you a better view of the 'real explosion'. Again the above-mentioned dunk on Ewing, it's EXTREMELY explosive if you watch it in real time (from the time of his elevation to the time his foots touch the ground). Bryant had this windmill side dunk which gave him these impressional dunks but again, the two are not even comparable IMHO... MJ both as a dunker, defender and overall player is on another level.
Jordan just jumps higher!
But kobe do be flying tho
Ye kobe can fly
everything is not jumping kobes shots dunks footwork height physic and plays was better and he felt in love witg the game this sport was kobes.he is the youngest player o f all time (17)!!!!!🐐🐐🐐
6:59 welcome to LAkers Dwight Howard!!!!!
Jordan was simply a gift from God.kobe is good but Jordan was great.
I noticed two things from this video:
1) Jordan's hands really allowed dunks Kobe couldn't do--particularly "Statue of Liberty" type dunks. Kobe can't emulate Dr. J's plays. There was no Jordan without Dr. J.
2) Jordan jumped higher...in general. I already knew that, but it's kind of obvious side-to-side.
why no one never show Kobe Bryant left hand dunks. they are on RUclips to do MJ have any left hand dunks in a game if so show them
kobe did everything that mj can do but mj cant do everything that kobe did
MJ has so many more awesome dunks that are not on this tape. Kobe good but MJ better :-)
And so does Kobe's other dunks
Awesome editing!
I saw both of them in their prime, however I will take Kobe in his prime, Kobe has sick dunks. MJ has the one on Ewing, Kobe has Dwight, Nash, KG, Sprewell, and many more...However MJ has better shoes! lol
You should do more looking. Jordan dunked on Ewing, Mourning, Mutombo, Bol, Eaton (3 in one game on him the year Eaton set the single season Block record), Shaq, Olaujuwon, Barkley, Robinson, Bird, Magic, Malone, Wilkins, Willis, Kareem, Rodman, Laimbeer, Nance, Hot Rod Williams, Artis Gilmore, Mcdaniel, list goes on and on. Dunking on centers routinely. Taking MJ here with zero doubt.
Kb was a better dunker than Mj because he gad more style
No comparison? Jordan jumped much higher and bigger hands.Kobe has to cradle the ball.
Which makes it easy for Jordan to dunk the ball because he can grasp it but still no reverse dunk?
+Manuel F he reverse dunks occasionally, just watch more rare Jordan footages and you'll see...
youre young kid,look all the stats look when they are in their prime,all kind of dunk was very easy to mj.search also for no look basket while in the mid air,compare again,better keep on searhing boy
That true
People you do realize that Kobe's dunks were filmed with WAY better technology. Plus every game Kobe played was filmed from multiple angles. Jordan in the mid 80s was had dunks in non televised regular season games that will never be seen the way EVERY play Kobe ever did in the NBA will.
BEAUTIFUL!
I honestly hate how people say that mj is the goat when theyve never seen him play personally i think kobe is better but dunking id have to take mj but style dunking goes to kobe he did stuff no one has ever seen who can 360 on the baseline and dunk it! Or come on the baseline on 2 people and widmill it or behind the back then 360 it its just mindblowing
now that's the best comment I've read
@Mmmm Chilling Kobetards are so delusional.
Watched mj and Kobe. Mj is much more superior than Kobe. Just stfu.
their are about a tie Kobe dunk on some big guys too just like mike so its about a tie
man,this thing is very well put together.....
there will never be a player as good as Jordan.. Kobe was close but Jordan was at another level.. Kobe cant palm the ball like Jordan either
I don't think we would ever come to an agreement regarding who was better between Jordan and Kobe!!!!...TBH Jordan had it made!!! The team the coach and the advantage of being ahead of his time!!!with Kobe on the other hand Had too earn his stripes to be the best!!!.. what you need to understand is that Kobe had the willpower and heart... As for Jordan you said it yourself the guy was born lucky... Kobe never had luck but the skills to do so...era of Jordan was totally different from now whether you say back then was more fouls less rules more real... Despite of that as times change basketball as a sport evolves maybe not as real as how it use to be but I can assure you this the players become better with newer moves newer styles...players become more evolved into modern times so having said that....I feel with in the times that have changed..Kobe Bryant took it to next level with modern tactics that made him the newer and better Jordan...
When Kobe dunks people say "WOW and Damn!!"
When MJ dunks people say " HOW DID HE DO THAT??"
Kobe does some incredible dunks, but MJ makes dunks look incredible. Some of you will get what I'm saying in a few years. But anyway point blank, I've seen Mike do some version of all Kobe's dunks, I've yet to see Kobe rock the cradle or kiss the sky. But Nice Video nonetheless!
Now you're just making things up, you can look anywhere about dunking comparisons and you'd see that what kobe has over Jordan would be the much more variety of dunks. And that people saying "how did he do that " Is more on because of Jordan's elevation, he was flying. And Kobe's dunk was creative as he didn't have Jordan's hands and elevation, he couldn't get on top of defenders
Kobe maximized his physical ability with his dedication and hard works!
I loved Kobe more than any athlete !
The day Kobe retired was the day I stop ed watching basketball!
What a talented man, both of them was great at there game
good dunks from both guys.. but sometimes people exaggerate mj too much.. like his vertical jump.. the put him at 48 inch.. they put kobe at 36inch.. u could clearly see both guys can get their head near the rim.. if mj had a true 48inch leap..his shoulders would be hitting the rim
Show me a footage of Kobe getting his head at rim level. Jordan did it so many times
@@johnlestersunaya3835 ur an idiot kobe can easily get his head above the rim, if I have to show u means u haven't seen it and living under a rock

Lebron traveled just by seeing this....XD
Isaac Orlich It bothers me that people really do not understand NBA rules.
@@4-CQL Haha as your name said. Thats where your wrong.
Kobe's dunks are indeed more 'forceful', 'rugged', 'more challenging', 'more dynamic/dramatic'... but I'm not sure it's more stylish, Jordan's style is more pure and natural, and that is due to Jordan having a better drive to the basket, so smooth and fluid. Like the one announcer said, he beautifully dismisses his defender and drives in for a flying dunk of pure gravity defiance, while kobe's dunks seem to be designed specifically to be one step ahead of jordan! and he succeeds on that front!
Buen video buena selección d las clavadas 👍
And then LeBron said, "I'm the best player in the world."
U missed a lot of mj best dunks though
Me personally I like both.They both are great dunkers but for me I would take Jordan.He just has that finesse and smoothness in my eyes.I don't care for him much especially after knowing his opinions are remarks about his shoes and poor inner city kids buying them.However, that's something god and him only knows but the guy just had something special you just can't deny! It's just like he was born to do it instead of something he learned or was taught or studied.He was ORIGINAL!
all should be said is nice playlist!
kobe all the way
Kobe has a different atyle with his dunks. He's a harder dunker and he has his nice up and under reverse and his 360s but I think MJ's were better. He would clearly jump above his defenders and dunk on them. I also think his contest dunks were better than Kobe's but Kobe has some finesse.
Kobe dunked over plenty look 6 10 + mam, lol.
Good number one. Always been one of my favorites
Kobe had better dunks. He actually was a nastier in game dunker than Jordan. More variety. But I love the cradle dunk tho.
so Koby dunks over dwight at 6:56
As much as I love MJ, Kobe's dunks are better.
They didn't show mj great dunks like over Shawn Bradley mr. Bol mutombo David Robinson. Ya look it up and mark eaton
+Frank Mel Maaaaaan MJ had twice the hangtime and the vertical compared to Kobe.
+George Kouts preach!
your exactly right.
+George Kouts
Millennium kids bruh. MJ still holds the highest vertical leap in NBA history. That is why he can drink his coffee the longest in the air. VC comes near 2nd
Kobe is amazing! i a big time Kobe fan....but Jordans #2 dunk should be the #1.
super like!!! if kobe did it with "fashion", jordan did it with "passion"... that's my evaluation...
kobe is great.a lot of style.
jordan did it higher and with ease
What a great video
Michael is better not because he is the best NBA player in history, but he has more creativity in his dunks
I don't know what video most people were watching?? All i saw is kobe outdunking jordan with less vertical jump and smaller hands. Either you are biased as hell or you can't dunk
U so fucking understand me man...kobe was a lot more creative than michael...kobe looks like he's floating at times he does it so smoothly
michael abah huh? Jordans cradle dunk from almost the freethrow line wasn't creative? I don't know anyone that has ever done that dunk from that far away in a game. Ever.
Matt Beaupre MJ didn't cradle dunk almost from the free throw line? WTF
He jump from the FT line one hand and double pump.
Matt Beaupre are you skip bayless?
michael abah
he is just an idiot like SAS.
CAN WE AGREE THEY ARE BOTH NASTY?? Appreciate greatness..But I gotta say MJs baseline dunks weren't as crazy as Kobes the one in MSG an the Timberwolves 💯
i wish this video never ended :(
Perfect music for dis too
