Oh there are plenty of reasons MJ is better then Kobe. Rings really aren't one of them though.
Being a Gary Payton fan is a good reason to be a Jordan defender though.
The Glove was one of the few people who could guard the guy straight up.
I wonder if it was just that Jordan didn't have any rivals... or if he was that good.
He was so good he retired early... well or was suspended secretly for betting on games. Then retired again... basically because he just had nothing to prove.
Could Kobe or Lebron have pushed him.
I'm not sure Kobe could. He's a little better physically but MJ's skills were unreal. Lebron likely couldn't currently either but he's such a physical freak he'd have a shot.
As West put it... Lebron is like a football player playing basketball with full control of his body.
