Listen, this has been talked about a lot in recent years. I know there still are plenty of MJ-lovers (myself included) and there are just as many Kobe-lovers as well. I know Kobe's career is a long way from over. I know that he's gonna re-write the record books (as will Lebron). I know he scored 80-something in a game. He's the best player in the NBA right now. But come on!! Saying he's better than Michael Jordan? Kobe wasn't even unanimous as the second-best shooting guard of all time in ESPN's recent voting. I may be wrong, but I get the feeling that a lot of the bloggers here pay some attention to Bill Simmons, aka The Sports Guy. He even voted Kobe third behind Jerry West. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dime-GreatestSGs
