Danny Green talks about the best in history: Kobe s skills surpass Jordan, and James s career is the greatest!
2:02pm, 4 June 2025【Basketball】
Recently, former NBA champion Danny Green threw a shocking bomb about the best in history on the All The Smoke podcast. The experienced defender unabashedly expressed his admiration for basketball god Michael Jordan, but at the same time pushed LeBron James to the peak of his career achievements and boldly claimed that Kobe Bryant's skills even surpassed the two legendary superstars.

"Jordan is my GOAT (the best in history), there is no doubt about this," Green started the game with a firm heart. But then he changed his subject, "But I think LeBron has the greatest career in basketball history." He eventually ranked the two in the top two of his historical list.
For another legend, Kobe Bryant, Green admitted that he had worn "colored glasses" when he was young: "I was too obsessed with Jordan when I was a child, and I always felt that Kobe was just imitating Michael. I thought to myself, 'Tsk, he is not Jordan himself'. At that time, to be honest, I was a little...can't say I hate Kobe, but I really didn't appreciate it. "
However, really entering the NBA arena to compete with Kobe on the same game, completely changed Green's view. "I only started to appreciate him after I entered the league and shot him with real swords and guns," Green recalled. "Watching him playing for so many years, observing his way of reading games up close, watching his steps on the court... It's incredible! "
Green even gave a point of view that countless fans argued: "From the perspective of technical polishing, Kobe may be the top of the three. "He further explained, "Jordan's terribleness is that he can keep you helpless with just one move, and then continue to crush you in that way, maintain a 60% shooting percentage, or easily get to the free throw line. But Kobe's technical arsenal is so rich that it is dazzling. "
This veteran who has experienced the highest intensity confrontation in the NBA admitted that it was Kobe's "field footsteps" and the operation of his on-the-spot mind that ultimately conquered him.
Green's remarks undoubtedly add a lot of fire to the endless "best history" debate. He not only affirmed Jordan's unshakable "the position" but also recognized the "greatest career" created by James' long peak period, and even bravely pointed out the ultimate height that Kobe could reach in pure basketball skills - this is a nuance that only those who have truly fought with Kobe on the court can experience.
As a player who has experienced fierce confrontations in the league, Green's perspective undoubtedly adds new weight to this eternal debate. He not only guarded Jordan's "Divine Pose", but also recognized the "great career" that James had created for his peak and lasting, and even more generously dedicated the crown of "King of Technology" to Kobe Bryant, who was once underestimated by him.
