I'ma say this... When Jordan won his first ring, he DOMINATED the league. He won 3 in a row and left. Came back DOMINATED again then left. This dude and his team shut opposing teams DOWN. To me, Kobe didn't have that presence. I may be wrong. Then, I might be a lil bias cuz I watched MJ as a kid.
This is about what I think. And I am a Laker & Kobe fan. MJ is the man. MJ is the best ever in my opinion. Kobe is top 10 however. Kobe should have at least 2, maybe 3 league MVPS. We all know he didn't get those because of a bullshit rape charge by some bitch trying to get paid.
