Brandon Jennings is from Compton, Calif., and likely grew up rooting for the Lakers and idolizing Kobe Bryant, so you can forgive him for having L.A. bias.
But this is a little too much:
Micheal Jordan had more "Help" winning his rings then Kobe. #debate #yallfightingthat

Kobe Had Shaq. MJ had Pippen, Dennis, Ron Harper, Horace Grant, Steve Kerr, Toni Kukoc,
John Paxson, B. J. Armstrong.

MJ never won without Pippen. Kobe won 2 rings without another great on his team. Kobe is The Goat

Jennings is, of course, referring to Bryant's fourth and fifth championships with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010, when all Kobe had for support was the best frontcourt in basketball, featuring Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom; a competent Metta World Peace; legendary head coach Phil Jackson; and a pretty solid supporting cast of role players.
That inexplicably perceived sub-par supporting cast and some August NBA TV viewing were all the Pistons point guard needed to reach his blasphemous conclusion, though.
