Its a reason why he's called the goat

Excpet for center every posiition in the NBA is stacked right Now in terms of talent. Look how many great pg sgs sf there are. In mj's era it wasn't this stacked. The defense is less phsyical but players weren't as talented as they are today -
I don't know. That Nutella sponsorship makes this a close race.

Cosign!! Kobe aint no where near MJ. Tho Kobe wuz an integral part to the Laker team that won 3 ships, it stil wuz Shaq's team. Kobe playd 2nd Fiddle to Shaq but MJ never did that. MJ won 5 regular season MVPs, 6 Finals MVP but Kobe has 1 season MVP, 2 Finals MVPs. MJ never playd with an Elite Big, the same cant be said for Kobe -

MJ is a better defender then Kobe -

To be fair, you need an elite big to win a chip in today's NBA. This ain't the 90's.... -

Kobe is definitely the closest thing to MJ but still far off. It's clear that Kobe has patterned his game after MJ. For him to be better than MJ, he would have to do a lot more than equal Jordan and outdo Jordan and I don't see that happening.
The one thing that gives MJ the edge for me is this.
Jordan played with Luc Longley, Carthright as his bigs; Kobe played with Shaq and now Gasol. What Gasol is doing now is def. the best big man in the league. Pippen = Odom in my opinion. With, Pippen, Maybe MJ made him look better than he actually was. Good but not great. No disrespect to Pip, because he was an essential part of the Bulls. But if MJ and Kobe were to trade their respective teams, I think MJ has 10 titles or more and Kobe has 1 at best. -
