Jordan just had good teammates. Pippen, Rodman, etc. etc. come on... He was mainly a scorer, like Kobe is most of the time. Kobe can assist too though and I like it when he mixes it up more, so it's hard for teams to predict if he'll score a lot or pass a lot on a given night. I admit he should pass more, but man when his fucking team can't catch a pass or make a shot, then he should take over like he has been doing and winning.
