Who's better Kobe or MJ?

MICHAEL JORRDAN IS SIMPLE THE BEST! no doubt about it ;D

MJ is the best by far. There is no comparison. This is not a knock on the skills of Kobe, I'm just saying that MJ is far and away the best player ever. One major flaw for Kobe is his attitude. The public perception of Kobe is that he's is a spoiled little punk. In the current NBA, there can be discussion as to if Kobe is even the best player in the league. When MJ was in his prime, there was no question that he was the best in the league. However, I feel that comparisons such as this one can never be complete until both players are at the same stage in their career. Maybe Kobe will get even better over the years, which is completely porssible, and and then people will ask if MJ was as good as Kobe. Only time will tell.
