I would NEVER trade a sure HOF player and one of the 10-15 best in NBA history for some unproven scrubs who may not even pan out. Go get your head examined dude.

Kobe hasn't done ANYTHING jordan didn't do... and Jordan did it with 10x the style and charm.
Kobe's game was MADE by watching Jordan highlights. Kobe has no creativity at all. The only comparisons between the 2 are completely due to Kobe stealing so many of Jordans moves. Kobe is one of the greatest ATHLETES in the history of the NBA but he's still a nutjob.
Kobe certainly has had the ability to be a Jordan clone. Kobe can do a LOT of things that Jordan could. The defining differences are that Kobe doesn't perform the only time of the year it COUNTS, doesn't play well with others and still acts like he's 18(extremely immature)
Anybody remember why Shaq and PJ got run out of town the first time around? KOBE had a problem with them both... don't think for a second that the shit he started with Bynum is gone and don't think for a second PJ even gets along with Kobe.
Here's why the Lakers won the first 3 titles:

Averaged 38.0 points, 16.7 rebounds and 2.67 blocks WTF seriously?
Kobe is Scottie Pippen, fuck comparing him to Jordan.... put Kobe as a #2 guy and he's GREAT. He'd NEVER be able to play on a team with 3 superstars like the Celtics have. Kobe's Ego can't let anybody that can possibly challenge him ever play on the same team as him.
