1st: there IS no kobe w/out MIKE(who do u think kobe emulates??) HE won EVERYTHING u can win from P.O.Y. honors in college as a national champion, to MVP of the finals in the NBA and 2 olympic gold medals- accolades that don’t “define”, but definitely add to HIS legend. Unfortunately for kobe, he never went to college, so we have less to compare and i think that does hurt his case for “better than MIKE” comparisons! 2nd: MIKE’s greatness is measured in intangibles kobe has yet to possess(*Imapact on the game-marketing, representation, popularity and otherwise, *Dominance-MIKE could not b stopped, and if he had an off night, he had the ability to raise other parts of his game. he’s led his team in rebounding, steals, blocks, AND 3pt fgs made in a game on a LOT more occasions than kobe has for his teams. *MIKE defined the word, “Clutch”- teams fear kobe cause he has the ability to beat u, teams feared MIKE cause history suggested he WOULD!
