WHEN it comes to the iconic cross-generation basketball rivalry between Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, only one man has an opinion of any value.
Phil Jackson has 13 rings in his collection for winning the NBA championship: two as a player with the New York Knicks, six with Jordan and the Bulls and five with Bryant and the Lakers.
Jackson knows the type of competitors these two legends were, and still are, but he also understands what type of men they are, and what drove them to their respective greatness.
While he's already admitted in the past that he would choose MJ over Kobe, he did share another titbit about who worked harder for their title.

During a recent interview with the NY Post, the current Knicks president was asked if Bryant is the model of success that Carmelo Anthony should be following this season.
"No. No one can approach that. I don't expect anybody to be able to model their behaviour after that, although Kobe modelled his behaviour a lot after Michael Jordan, but he went beyond Michael in his attitude toward training, and I know Mike would probably question me saying that, but he did."
At the ripe old age of 36, Kobe Bryant could still very well be the hardest working man in the NBA. He has that killer instinct reminiscent of players in the 90s, and still has a couple of pages left to add to his book.
Bryant may never escape the incessant comparisons to Michael Jordan — particularly as he himself has admitted to modelling himself after the Chicago Bulls great. But then again, he may not want to.
