Actually no. I NEVER EVER EVER EVER would seriously say that Kobe is better than Jordan. So go shove that size 1 font up your ***.

Kobe said it himself in the 81 pt night postgame press conference that he's tired of these comparisons. He said that Michael Jordan is incomparable. Kobe is creating his own legacy.

Here's a link. It's 15 min. long so u can forward it to the midway point if you want.

Kobe has the worst roster that i have ever seen in the nba and he is winning games.

Your right that Kobe has worse team mates, but who is to say that jordan with the same teammates wouldnt have more wins right now? He probley would. Its not like the Lakers record right now is anything close to amazing. They are only 22-19. Put Jordan in his prime in that same line up, id say the lakers would be at around 25-16... and put Kobe in jordans star 1995-1996 line up, at the end of the season i say you get somewhere around 60-65 wins. But who am I to speculate, this is all hypotheical anyways, anything could happen in certian situations.

But one thing I do know, is that Jordan had a special bond with all the players he played with, he was not only a teammate, but a coach and mentor as well... can we say the same about Kobe, the same player who in Phil Jackson's book was described as "immature and selfish". Other players around the league have a hard time playing on the same floor with Kobe for that very same reason. You have to understand to build a great team around a superstar, you need a superstar who is content with giving up fame and the glitz for a championship and for the better of the team.

Only people who have not watched much of Jordan in his prime would even ASK this question.

The answer: Not even close.

jordan gave up fame and glitz for a championship?

jordan shot as much in 1998 (and 2002 for that matter) as he did in 1988.

[shobe42]

can't we just enjoy wat Kobe is doing? he is the best player of this generation... all the players coming up now can be compared to him (as they have been) then they can compete v.s. him and it makes more sense... that's good enough for now... compare him to the all-time greats when he retires...

Everyone has this arguement, "no one wants to play with Kobe." Who has ever said that? Please just name me a couple people who have said that. I can sure as hell give you a liust of players who have said Kobe is the best in the league.

[Diable]

Why is the best player of his generation fifth in the league in efficiency behind Garnette,Lebron,Elton Brand and SHawn Marion?For that matter why is DWade so close behind him?Last I heard Tim Duncan was the best player in the league too.Everyone knew that MJ was better than Hakeem,but I have to say
that Hakeem was substantially better than Kobe is.Kobe is not even the best
Laker in the last ten years is he?
