If I were starting a team, I would pick Kobe over M.J.
Thats a big call. MJ was the complete player, and everyone that matters (IE experts etc) say nothing compares to Jordan. Kobe's great, dont get me wrong, but I'd take 1 MJ over 2 Kobe's any day. Would have been great to see them both in their prime together, so it's a bit difficult to directly compare, the game has changed etc, but damn, Jordan is undisputed Greatest Of All Time.

Yeah. I have people scream at me for picking Kobe over MJ. But personally, I enjoy watching Kobe more than MJ. Of course there are people who say that Oscar Robertson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Robertson) is a more complete player than MJ. In the 1961-62 season, he averaged a triple double for the entire season!! 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 11.4 assists. Amazing!!

Really? Why? Granted, I haven't actively watched basketball (outside of sports-center highlights) for probably 5-7 years now, still, I find it hard to believe that Kobe has the insane drive and will to win that MJ had. -was intense. I guess the question is, who made/makes his teammates better on the court?

Kobe's dedication and his work ethics towards the game is legendary. He is known to stay behind and shoot for hours by himself after games. Experts say that Michael Jordan was a better player because he made his teammates better. Of course these are the same experts that thought Sam Bowie was better than M.J. coming out of college.

My vote is, and always will be for David Bowie over them all.
