Plus Kobe's stats are nowhere near Jordan's...and Kobe has yet to win a ring as the "franchise player".

The best all "around player" in the NBA by far is LeBron James, it's a fact. No one does more with less...and not one "active player" in the league has ever put up seasons compareable to his last 5 seasons. Think about that. Not one active player has gone for 27+ Points, 6+ rebounds, 6+ assists in a season...and LeBron's about to do it for the 5th straight year (and just turned 24). Also, he's in the running for defensive player of the year...not to mention one of the best team players ever.

LeBron's Stats this year: 27.8pts, 7.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.3 blocks (team record: 37-9)
Kobe's Stats this year: 27.4pts, 5.5 recounds, 5.1 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.5 blocks (team record: 38-9)

*and LeBron plays in the East, which has taken over as the more dominant league.

Another note on LeBron -- he's on pace for his 3rd season of 27+ points, 7+ assists, 7+ rebounds...which will make him only the 2nd player in NBA history to do that more than 2 times in his entire career...Oscar Robertson was the other (and he played long before the game ever truely evolved).

Never has a player done more at his age than LeBron James has done in the NBA.
