I'm talking about the help from the championship level team of the Bulls. Put Kobe on Jordan's championship level team and you would probably get the same result or better. They are pretty even IMO. Kobe is a better scorer, Jordan is a better defender. I think Jordan had more help longer though, which resulted in more championships. It's really hard to compare both. I'm just tired of hearing Jordan is the best cuz a bunch of people say so and Kobe isn't even close, even after what he has accomplished. Jordan didnt win a championship till he was Kobe's age and Kobe's got a lot of time left and 3 championships and a lot of accolades already.

Ugh, its a lost cause I presume, I just showed you above why saying Kobe is a better scorer than Jordan is completely ignorant. For the love of god, stop all the senseless comparisons like "put Kobe on Jordan's championship level team...." Its not hard at all to compare the two, I just did it above and Jordan clearly outshines Kobe in every statistical category. Its not just a "bunch" of people who think Jordan is the best, its the overwhelming majority of sportswriters, NBA players, coaches and front office personnel who consider him. You'd be hard pressed to even find 2% of the people mentioned above who think Kobe is equivalent to Jordan at this point in his career.
Even Phil Jackson, who knows both players better than anyone says that its not fair to compare them right now because Jordan has achieved much more both individually and team wise. If Kobe tears his ACL tonight and decides to retired next year, would you still be saying Kobe had a career equivalent to Jordans? Of course you wouldn't, Kobe isn't even in the top 50 all time scorers while Jordan is in the top 5. Stop all of the stupid "what if" comparisons, stick to the stats and see if you can back up your statements after Kobe is in the league another five years.
