When MJ got Scottie, he was more than willing to share the spotlight and the ball with him, and the supporting cast, which is why the Bulls in my mind were the greatest team in history. Kobe on the other hand is a glory hog, and that was evident when he had the most dominant center in the nba. If you think about it the lakers had a chance to win as many titles as they wanted with that combination, but Kobe's ego, which was his downfall, ended that 'dynasty'. I have to say though Kobe's matured a lot this season and I was very happy to hear that he is going to play for the USA. With him on the court, there isn't anyone in the world that can stop him.

This is a very good post actually. Now let me ask you a couple questions:
1) Would Jordan have played nice with Shaq? Please consider Shaq's history with talented guards and Jordan's ego.
2) The Bulls were a great team, dynasty. Could they have beaten the '01 Laker playoff teamt that went 15-1?
I agree with Lebron, people do not realize what killer instict is. Just because he is a great athlete, he isn't even on the other guy's planet. But I DO like him. He even said in an interview that Kobe is the best and that until he makes clutch shots, he is not that type of player. I think he will be more like Magic, but it is so tough to say...
