i agree, and kobe has offensive talent, he is not a good a defender or passer as jordan was, but jordan just seemed as if he could "will" his team to win, kobe can shoot over players and hit tough shots, but jordan was always faster and quicker, and michael jordan had what no one else had... the ability to hit the impossible shots, how many times was jordan double and even tripled teamed and fouled and he could still finish the plays, behind the back, from the floor, switching hands in mid air, changing positions and improvising plays in mid-air as if he could just hang in the air forever, kobe has a good jumper this season, but he does not have the entire physical ability to finish as jordan did, and i dont think that he has learned to play the game mentally either, because you had to stand up to jordan physically but also mentally because he would hit the shot and then tell you about it and torment you and that makes it seem like a 1 on 1 competition which takes away from the other teams team concept, and we still have to see if kobe will win 6 championships and 6 MVP awards, and be defensive player of the year, and finish his career with a 30 point lifetime average (kobe's lifetime average is 23)
Jordan always said that the game was 80 percent mental and 20 percent physical.
