Running a franchise is not what we're are or have been talking baout when MJ iwas concerned. Nor did we compare Kobe's "other" court-wise issues that are now going on. "Court-wise" IS the only comparison Hal and I'm just indicating that there still aren't a lot of court-wise comparisions to be able to put Kobe up with Michael. It's a team sport but Kobe, as Jordan did, will have to be the end-all-be-all be all for his Lakers. He must make them better and win championships without a Shaq Diesel as Jordan did. As far as MJ being one of the best basketball players ever... he's overwhelminglu regarded as THE best to ever play the game. I wuwish the Lakers well as it would be a shame for such a storied franchise to go into a downward spiral. With Kobe on board I think that scenario is impossible, I just want to see what he can do without one of the most dominating centers the league has ever seen.
