Kobe isn't even the best player in the league, Lebron is. Comparing Kobe to Jordan is silly. Here are some reasons why:
- Jordan played with hand checking, something that was a big disadvantage to guards.
- Kobe plays in an era with defensive 3 seconds and the charging circle in the lane. Huge advantage to players who drive the lane. Jordan did not.
- Jordan was a much better defender than Kobe.
- Jordan was a 50% FG shooter, Kobe is 45%. Huge difference between the two.
- Jordan was a better rebounder and passer than Kobe.
- Jordan will win more championships than Kobe with less talent.
I don't know how anyone could even come close to making this argument. In this era, under these rules, Jordan would put up 35-40 points a night with ease. He also wouldn't have to shoot as much as Kobe does to do it. Kobe is a great player, one of the best ever. But he's not in the league of Jordan.
