1987-88 Micheal Jordan was NBA Most Valuable Player(5 times) and Defensive Player of the Year.
Also, Mike was ALL-NBA First Team every year except his rookie season, which he was second team, and his second year in which he didn't play much because of a broken foot.
Another thing, I was just watching ESPN First Take and Jamel Hill said that Mike didn't have another athletic rival to go against, saying that Kobe has LeBron, Melo, and Dwyane Wade. Are you Kidding me? None of those guys have played against a team like the 1988-89 Detroit Pistons who went 63-19 and played FEROCIOUS team defense.
Seriously, how about Magic Johnson? James Worthy, Charles Barkely, Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill to name a few right of the top of my head.
Now I do believe that there are parts of Kobe's game that are comparable, if not as good as Jordan's. For instance his jump shot, Kobe and Mike Jumpshot are just as good as each other's. Kobe might have the edge from long range, but Mike being clutch evens that out.
Kobe's leadership is also comparable, but thats as far as I'm gonna go. Im done...
