Kobe shouldn't even be compared to MJ. Until he carry his team to the championship WITHOUT SHAQ, I'll give him a little Jordanisk.
Jordan had no 'dominant bigman' to back him. He had one good role player by his side, namely Pippen. Otherwise, everyone followed his lead. If Shaq goes, so goes the Lakers. If Kobe goes, the Lakers are still a favorite. At 23 Jordan didn't have a 400lb 7+ feet dominant big man and experienced zenmaster behind his back.
