Jordan with the Bulls was by far and away not only the best NBA player ever, but the best athlete in the sport. In addition to his own accomplishments, he not only had to keep Rodman in line, motivate the rest of his time, help Pippin build his numbers and worked for that tiny salary (yes I know he was making a fortune in endorsements, that's not the point) so the team could spend to fill in the gaps and become a truly dominant force in the NBA.
Tell me really, does anyone ever see Kobe or Shaq doing something like that? Fuck no. Maybe Tim Duncan or Karl Malone, but there aren't many in the league today who have that kind of drive, ambition and will to win with a smile on their face.
