Defense in the NBA is a joke since many gay rule changes.
Jordan had to deal with POWERHOUSE teams with real defenses.
Jordan had much better court smarts and knowledge of the game.
and the bottem line is Jordan invented EVERY part of KOBES game.
Oh yeah...KOBE is not even the best player in the League now.
I would take Tim Duncan, Lebron, or Dirk any day over KOBE.

Any professional writer will tell you Kobe is the best player in the game hands down the past 4 years.
No defence? lol he's first team D every year.
And dont forget who Jordan had playing with him... lets see, some guy that didn't ever need the ball in his hands but was an amazing defender and just so happened to average 18 rebounds a game "Rodman". Pippen who was the most underrated small forward to ever play the game. He could do everything. Guards, BJ Armstrong, Ron Harper, Kerr, Paxson. They also had some pretty decent forwards with Kukoc, Horace Grant. And a whole crop of decent big men Cartwright, Perdue, Parish, Wennington, willians...
My point is that Jordan had one hell of a lineup around him that Kobe hasn't had until now. And now they are all hurt. They will make a run this year but expect the Lake show be dominating the league the next 4-5 years with all the young talent they have.
Jordan was one hell of a player and I wont deny that. But the Kobe legacy is just begining and they numbers and he has already put up are amazing and he has already broken a number of Jordan records.
As much as we could go back and forth about these two the only way you can ever compare them is after Kobe retires which is a long ways away. By then I expect him to break almost all of Jordans records.
