I get so tired of people comparing mj to Kobe and LeBron, that it sickens me. Don't get me wrong, they're both great players in their own right. however, they're not as dominate as michael jordan. when michael took the court against the likes of reggie miller, larry bird, magic johnson, patrick ewing, and many other legends, there was no debate on who the best player was during his career. where as kobe, there's always a debate. some folks feel tim duncan is better while others debated earlier in kobe's career that Shaq was better, back when they were team mates. plus, everyone never brings up jordan's defensive stats like being the second all time steals leader behind only john stockton, and michael managed to get into the top five of that list when he was around kobe's age. which by the way, how many career steals does kobe have?
sure you can point out kobe bryant scored 81 points against a mediocre raptors team a while back. however, that's just stupid. the raptors always stink, in recent years. some even dared to say it was on par with jordan's performance when he scored 65 points against the celtics in a playoff loss. to me, i think michael's is much more impressive as he was playing a team that had 4 hall of famers, larry bird, bill walton, kevin mchale, and robert parish. plus it was a playoff game no less. where as kobe did it during a regular season game against a team that sucks.
thats what gets me. what do you guys think?

BILL CLINTON<jk... no we never know, nobody comes close, maybe LBJ or KOBE
If Kobe gets 2 more rings would that make him equal to Jordan?

Jordan joins Larry Bird and Wilt Chamberlain in the category of making their mark in a way that no one compares to them. There is no next Michael Jordan, just like there was no next Bird or Chamberlain. No one will ever beas complete a player as these folks were. Kobe Bryant might come close to Jordan in the way Kareem Abdul-Jabbar came close to Wilt, but you still can't compare them. Jordan, Chamberlain and Bird were all one-of-a-kind.

no, i don't think so because during those first 3 titles he won, he had shaq, who was the most dominate center at the time when the lakers 3peated. where as jordan never had a dominant center. the closest was bill cartwright, but he was old as sin though.
I think labron would be the next jordan. His highlights are great when He goes to the hole know can stop him. His shooting was like jordans good but will get better. How long did the pistons and celtics beat up on Jordan before he broke through?
I say Jordan brought the best out of his teammates and Labron does to. Labron needs the role players like jordan had. Horace Grant, Pippen top 50 ever player paxson and kerr. Well jordan 6 rings still my favorite. Labron I love to watch we will see many years to be able to make this predition.No one in today's game obviously.
Kobe and LeBron are on the same level despite what people think, skill wise. Kobe has the advantage slightly because of a developed outside jumper, but LeBron is always a constant threat to score.
Jordan was a man amongst boys, that elusive style only comes once in a blue moon, and with today's athletes, everyone is good.
Someone really has to seperate themselves from the pack in order to push that ticket to be comparable to Jordan.
