Who is the best basketball player in the NBA?

I'd still choose his "Royal Airness", Micheal Jordan. What Kobe is or any other NBA players has been to don't even pass the standards of what MJ achieved, his simply more than just a player. He's a play-maker, team player, prolific individual player and a respected team-leader. All I see now on NBA players are just pure individual skills, just like what Kobe, LeBron and D. Wade has. They may be explosive, but they still lack of maturity and the most important, KILLER INSTINCT.
