Ever since the retirement of Michael Jordan from NBA, people are talking about who will be his most competent successor. If Anfernee Hardaway and Hill were the best possible successor after Michael Jordan’ s first withdrawal, it is no doubt that Kobe Bryant was the official successor of Michael Jordan after his retirement for the second time in 1998. In comparison with other possible successors, inevitable Kobe is the best. He has almost copied all Jordan’s classic movement from sticking his tongue out to grasping his shorts. Once in a while, we just confused between them. In addition, Kobe has also claimed 3 Final Champions in a row from 2000 to 2002. Up to date, this is the only three successive champions after Michael Jordan’s retirement in 1998. Even Jordan had made a remark in public once that I could find my share best in Kobe Bryant.

Even so, the debate on Kobe and Michael Jordan never receded. The reason behind this fierce argument lies that his record performance was up and running while we were debating whether he was the best successor. With 51 points in a single game, he became the youngest winner of 20000 points. With 9 games 40+ and 4 games 45+ in a row, there was no more debate on whether he is was the best successor, instead the debate began to debate on whether Kobe would surpass Jordan as the best NBA player ever. Though the debate shows no sign of declining, the two best NBA players in their respective era were well aware of the reality. Michael Jordan has said“ Kobe has yet overcome me in my peak time.” As for this, Kobe Bryant played it down and responded that “I do not think i can surpass Michael Jordan, he is just too strong to be overcome. Of cause it is logic for Kobe Bryant to admit this. The reason is that he has not achieved as many as Michael Jordan. Though he was also a treble winner, he is not the leader to the 3 final champions. To be more exactly, he was not lack of final rings but one with his own glory. This was why he is so eager to lead the Lakers to final champions. He was not lack of regular season MVP but a Finals MVP. Now he has made it, he led Lakes to final champions. In Lakers’ last two final champions, he was the leader; it was he that steered the wheel. And he is approaching Michael Jordan in terms of profession. But his business influence still far lag behind Michael Jordan. Up to date, Nike has released more than 24 Air Jordan. Besides, there are numerous Air Jordan replicas coming into being to meet the curiosity of fans. Within no more than 30 years, he, Michael Jordan, made Air Jordan the most popular basketball shoes and created a legend in sneakers history; While the sales of Nike Zoom Kobe is no sensation.

What Kobe should do is to ignore those stupid comparisons and lead his teams to final champions. It is in this way that he can approach or equal Michael Jordan with the most possibility of success and establish himself well either in profession or business. The moment we see a Nike Zoom Kobe, we will think of Kobe Bryant like Air Jordan does.

It has been quite a time since James’s announcement of joining Miami Heat. But the debate on his decision has never declined. Widely recognized as the successor of Michael Jordan in terms of dominance and fighting will everything even a little rumor will cause a sensation.

Now LeBron James has went to Heat with a satisfactory contract, more inspiring the possibility of one or two final champions. But as a James fan, i could not really understand it and it make me a little upset. I should say this is the most stupid decision he ever made. With his outstanding performance, it is likely for him to claim one or two final champions. If he still stayed in Cleveland, what he would get is much more than than final rings, there are more applause and cheering. Now Lebron James has turned his back against us and we also do not need him any more. Now i do not think he has the slim possibility of becoming as great as Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan is God and he would never say die to anything, let alone give up or betray his beloved fans. Instead, he is no more than a coward.  From now on, there would be no more Nike Air Max in my collection but Air Jordan.

It is beyond argument that Michael Jordan deserves the titles of “Air Jordan” and “King of basketball” –maybe the highest honor for a basketball player. Even after his long retirement from the NBA, his great impact and glory which had eclipsed numerous NBA players can never be ignored. And this trend is still spreading.

No matter how great they are, it is unavoidable for them to be eclipsed by Michael Jordan. Kobe is no exception. Up to this day, with 5 Final Champions and 6 MVP，it is no doubt Kobe is the best player in current NBA. And he is always mentioned in the same breath with Michael Jordan more often than not. When it comes to action and movement, he bears the trace of Michael Jordan to the degree possible. But even so, Michael Jordan always goes first then followed by Kobe when people discuss the best point guard, let alone Michael Jordan’s great success in business. Till now, there have been more than 24 releases of Air Jordan shoes, from Air Jordan 1…Air Jordan 5 to Air Jordan 23. And every release of Air Jordan will be well-captured and many Air Jordan lovers are collecting them as way of their respect to Michael Jordan. Some of them boast a full complete collection of Air Jordan shoes. What’s more, there are millions of people take Air Jordan shoes as Michael Jordan shoes because the connection between Michael Jordan and Air Jordan are too important to be ignored. In consideration of the great popularity of Air Jordan, Nike will release some Retro almost every year. As one of the best successors of Michael Jordan, James bears the spirit of Michael Jordan to the most degree. Though, acting as a small forward, James follows a very different style with Michael Jordan, he posses the fighting will and perseverance of Michael Jordan which is widely regarded the key for Michael Jordan’s success. Even so, James has not yet reached the height of Michael Jordan, at least not now or maybe he will never. The reason is just so simple that Michael Jordan is too big to be surpassed.

Even Kobe and James said in public that they do not want to be compared with Michael Jordan. Kobe is Kobe, James is James and Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan. But the reality is that they can still not escape the fate of been compared with Michael Jordan. Even in the Finals award ceremony, the name of Michael Jordan can not be mentioned easily. Michael Jordan is just too strong, too popular to be forgotten.

With two Final Champions in a row, it is no doubt that Kobe is the best player in current NBA. Everybody has a secret sorrow and Kobe is no exception. After his 6 year contract with Adidas ran to end, Kobe Stroke a contract with Nike. But not long before that he got troubled in rape scandal which gave him a very negative image.

In order to maintain its positive public image, Nike had to postpone the release of new shoes with Kobe’s signature. As a result, Kobe had to wear Air Jordan shoes during this time. These shoes were Air Jordan III, Air Jordan VI, Air Jordan VII, Air Jordan VIII, Air Jordan XI, Air Jordan XII and so on. Surprisingly, Kobe showed no dislike to these Air Jordan shoes and retrieved his name. As a result, these Air Jordan Shoes became a hit. In addition to Air Jordan, Kobe also wore Air Force 1 in several games. 

It has been said that Lebron and Kobe are the best players current NBA. Yes, it is undoubted that Lebron is the second best player only next to Kobe in current NBA in terms of individual performance. I say so just because he never led his team to a final champion while Kobe did. We can not judge a player from his individual performance but should base on comprehensive factors, especially the overall performance of his team. He is no match to Kobe, let alone Jordan. Jordan went to a franchise that was failing and within a few years, turned it into one of the greatest dynasties of all time and made him unsurpassed name. That’s also what Kobe is doing. After O’Neal left Lakers, all burden left to Kobe and he did not let Lakers and fans down. He has led Lakers to several champions. But there is still the chance for Lebron, because as so far he is in a very similar situation with the “cursed” city, and if he leads Cavaliers to win multiple championships. There is no doubt that he will be the best players in current NBA or at least be equal with Kobe. But as the free agency goes, his chance is becoming slimmer. If he leaves Cavaliers, join a relatively strong team and win a final champion, he will never be regarded the greatest player. It is very possible he will go to Chicago or Miami or somewhere else to fight for his final champions. But i really do not think he can make himself the honor of the best player as these teams has got final champions and it is not surprising for them to get another. In addition, with these teams he may not extend all his potentials since these teams are full of first-rate player. I do not think it a smart choice for James leaving Cavaliers as it is much more fulfilling to win in a city that has won nothing. At least he will not be regarded as a coward.
In a word, if James concerns money and rings most, it is true Cleveland is not a good place for him especially at this unstable moment. But if he is valuing his fame most or seeking a chance to crate a legend, make himself a name like Jordan and create a top brand name like Air Jordan Shoes, undoubtedly Cleveland is the best place.

Mold is used to shape things. But when we call someone a mold, we mean he is elite in certain fields or aspects and impose much influence on this field. Or he has contributed the most to it. In NBA history, there are so called 20 molds. Carter claims the crown in terms of leaping ability and Iverson has no match when speed concerned while Jordan has no match in terms of fighting will. Now, let’s have a glance at the 20 most outstanding molds in NBA.

The perfect stature-Maddie

He is 2.03m and he acted not only as PG but also SF. If necessary he can also work as power forward. At his career peak, he was one of the most versatile talents in NBA. It is the reason that his height-2.03 is well-known as the perfect model.

Owner of shoes king- Jordan

Undoubtedly, Michael Jordan is the shoes king. Even in prior to his professional career, Nike Co. has exclusively designed 9 series for him. They are Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 2, Air Jordan 3……Air Jordan 9 and made Air Jordan a top brand name-Nike Air Jordan. Even after Jordan’s retiring, Nike never stopped releasing Air Jordan shoes. Up to date, Nike has released its Nike Air Jordan 23. Even so, every release of Air Jordan shoes is well-captured thanks to the superior quality of the shoes. However, the real reason behind it is the unsurpassed image of Jordan, the greatest heroes in the whole NBA history.

The model of leaping ability- Carter

As far as leaping ability is concerned, it is impossible for us not to think about Carter. The Slam dunk he made at 2008 Beijing Olympics will be in our mind forever. At the early stage of his career, he has extended the leaping ability to the highest degree possible.

The perfect example of speed-Iverson

It is no doubt Iverson is the fastest, no matter with or without dribbling all over NBA history. A NBA scout with 45 working experience has made such amazing comments: Over these years, we have seen a lot of speed-centered players, but no of them can match Iverson. From this comment we have no difficulty in understanding that Iverson deserves the title of “leopard” which is the fastest animal in the world.

The representatives of physic strength-O’Neil

It is said that his triceps-act strength was over 450 ponds at the prime of his life. It is at his rookie season that he broke 2 stands which lead to the creation of new stands.

The model of pace-Wade

Whether the smooth pace has made him the name of “Flash”, there is some association with that more or less. It has been said Wade’s incomparable starting, penetration, speeding and turning all originate from his smooth pace.

Kyd- playing basketball with thinking

With an overall picture in his mind, he knows when to shoot, pass and get teammates involved. Whichever team he serves, he is the centre and commander of it. Magic Jonson has made such comments about him: Kyd always has a clear picture of the game and is able to make decisive and right choice which is the key to win.

Ray-Allen –King of 3 points

It is no doubt that he is the King of 3 points. Almost there is nobody but Allen can have such high praise. His 3 points shooting has long been regarded as the standard. There is no exaggeration that if you want to teach your children how to make 3 shootings, Allen will be the best model.

James-the model of perfect physical structure

With Duncan’s height, Malone’s strength, Jordan’s explosive strength and Magic’s height, James is the model of perfect physical structure.

Ron –Artest-the best defender

As the best defender of 2004, he is the third perimeter players after Jordan and Paton getting such awards. In addition, Artest’s defense range is much wider than Jordan and Paton.

Kobe-the best representatives of perimeter shoot

Kobe is adept at dunk, defense and penetration, however what makes him undefeatable is perimeter shoot. Perimeter shoot is Kobe’s most useful method to score and the reason that James can not surpass him.

Jordan-the perfect mold of fighting will

Even without taking a drop of water in 2 days after food poisoning, Jordan has got 38 scores and won in the game against Celtics. The moment the match finished, Jordan collapsed and have to depend Pippen’s support to leave the court. Just imagine, if were not his fighting will, he could make it? It is no wonder that he is the greatest hero in

All-star shoes

The 59^th All-Star game has run to its end on Feb. 14 at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. At the playground, these elites from West and East have presented us an unprecedented performance which has made a all-time attendance record. In prior to the game, all are busy with preparation for this significant moment. Players were making all their efforts to present themselves better, Fans from all over the world got prepared to cheer the stars while Nike and Adidas were designing All-Star shoes, they have paid very attention to the smallest particulars to make these elites more comfortable.

Yes, the 59^th All-Star game turned out to be satisfactory. Though, the game has ended for almost 5 months, it will be fresh to all spectators. Besides, these All-Star shoes have been well-captured. Since they are to exclusive to Élites, but also Jack and Kim. Indeed, they are absolutely attractive in design and durable in quality and comfortable in feeling.

Just look at these designs, nobody would not like to have one. Of cause the first has to be “Nike Zoom Kobe V “2010 West All-Star”

As one of the best players in current NBA, Wade’s Shoes Air Jordan 2010 is not next to nobody. Just look at the following, you will now he can not be despised.

Allen Iverson, one of the most gifted NBA players, got in trouble not only in families but also in career and everyday life.

  Iverson has suffered not in 2010 which is also a not welcome turning point of his career from peak to down point possible. While his family life is recovering, he was given the name playboy which turned out to be an unfriendly rumor. These days the rumor that Iverson likes no basketball but blond spread at amazing speeds on the internet. The rumor went like this Iverson was caught dating with several blonds about his birthday and claimed Iverson likes no basketball but blond. Based on these fabricates, medias really made a fuss about it. But the fact is that these photos were taken at a party celebrating Iverson’s birthday. As for NBA players, it’s rather normal to have parties to relax themselves after such a demanding season, let alone his birthday. In addition, his ex- colleague Andre Iguodala has verified a man of Iverson will never or just can not leave basketball even dropping from professionals. Besides, it has been said he will pick up his exclusive shoes

and concentrate himself into the coming season. As big fans of Iverson, it’s our great hope and wish that Iverson will get on his way and reestablished himself.

This year will be a major concern of the NBA Hall of Fame, because Michael - Jordan, the greatest basketball player who brought the basketball into a new level and was instrumental in popularizing the NBA around the world, was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame on April 6, 2009 and was inducted on September 11, 2009. At this memorable moment, let’s cast back our minds to Jordan’s career.

The First NBA Finals Trophy

Perhaps the best known moment of Jordan came when he cried while holding the NBA Finals trophy in 1991. Naturally you know that it is only a very small percentage of that total.  In fact Jordan showed people his great excitement and attention on this hard-won victory. Since then we hardly saw any other player who desired to win so much as Michael Jordan. (Unique Michael Jordan shoes collected by Killersneakers.com)

63 scores when against Celtic

In 1986, the Bulls led by Michael Jordan made a 131-135 record and lost in the playoff when against the Boston Celtics team that is often considered one of the greatest in NBA history. Jordan set the still-unbroken record for points in a playoff game with 63.

In addition, Jordan demonstrated his defensive prowess, as he became a legend in NBA history.

Championship of NBA Finals in 1996 on father’s day

None of us can know what will happen in the future. Once again Jordan gained the NBA Finals trophy on father’s day after his father and friend passed away. Jordan reacted very emotionally upon winning the title, including a memorable scene of him sobbing on the locker room floor with the game ball.

Final Score for Game 6 in 1998

Jordan made a steal, brought the ball to the front court close to the case of foul and claimed their championship perfectly. Jordan finished his colorful basketball life in his way.

Beat the Detroit Pistons

In the 1990-91 season, Bulls finished in first place in their division for the first time in 16 years and set a franchise record with 61 wins in the regular season. They advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals where their rival, the Detroit Pistons, awaited them. However, this time when the Pistons employed their “Jordan Rules” defense of doubling and triple teaming Jordan, he picked them apart with passing. Finally, the Bulls beat the Detroit Pistons who were led by Isiah Thomas and a group of physical players known as the “Bad Boys” in a surprising sweep. In an unusual ending to the fourth and final game, Isiah Thomas led his team off the court before the final minute had concluded. Most of the Pistons went directly to their locker room instead of shaking hands with the Bulls.
