Kobe or Jordan?

"Kobe almost has a Jordan-like aura among NBA players, and for good reason. He has more offensive skill then anyone in basketball. If Jordan is No. 1, Kobe is 1A. He isn’t Jordan to my generation, but Kobe is tops to the now generation. Believe that.

Kobe actually has more offensive moves than Jordan and shoots the 3-pointer slightly better. And who scored 81 points in a game? Not MJ.

This season, Kobe also has had the best supporting cast, by far. That has limited some of his numbers, but, still, no one takes on the challenge of the moment better than Kobe. Game-winning shots, guarding the best player – you name it and Kobe does it.

In my opinion, Kobe is the best player on the planet."

Kobe is probably one of the greatest player in his time but he is not better than Jordan and he will never be. Yes he did score 81 points. But agains a crappy team unlike MJ he has taken on top contender teams and scored high points for example against Boston during the finals where he scored 69 points agains one of the greatest players too Larry Bird. My point is you cannot compare Kobe to Jordan and vise versa because it's just impossible.
