Why does everyone try to compare Kobe to MJ? You can look at all the stats you want, but it is difficult to put into numbers exactly what MJ brought to the table. MJ was the greatest single weapon in Basketball ever. Everyone else pales in comparison to him as for what he did for the Bulls and winning championships. As long as Jordan was on your team, you knew there was always a chance of winning the game-no matter how badly he (or the rest of the team) was playing during the game. I don't get that same feeling with Kobe. It seems like if Kobe is having a bad night, then he brings the rest of the team down with him. The Lakers were successful only because they had both Shaq and Kobe and it was unusual for both to have an off night simultaneously. Kobe needs to develop that winning attitude-and that total confidence that MJ had despite how he was feeling that particular day or how his teammates were playing. Until that happens, Kobe will be a great talent but certainly not of the same caliber as MJ. Can we stop the comparisons now?
