Miller made it very clear that he felt that Jordan was more difficult to play against than Bryant was for him at least. He played against both players in their prime, and his opinion is definitely one that carries some weight.

Back in his time, Miller was one of the best scorers in the league as well, and is one of the All-Time great shooters that the NBA has ever seen.

Listen to his conversation with Dan Patrick about the Jordan vs. Bryant debate:

This is the type of conversation that is worth listening to, and Miller holds a lot more knowledge about the game than most media members that have been discussing the topic.

Playing against both of them first hand gives him plenty of knowledge on the situation. No matter which player is better, they have both accomplished a lot and Bryant deserves congratulations for passing him in scoring.

It isn’t likely that this debate will ever end, but Bryant is without question worthy of being compared to Jordan following this career milestone.
