When all is said and done.. will Kobe be considered better than Micheal?
Will Lebron be better than Kobe?

MJ has secured his name at the top of the list. Like comparing boxers from one era to the next, it can't be done.

It will always be done. I've heard the argument that MJ is his eras Larry Homes. While he was great he never beat anyone in their prime...

MJ beat the Pistons in their prime.Patrick Ewing in his prime.Barkley in his prime..
Kobe will need to win 8 or nine rings to get to where Jordan was at at his peak.Kobe is debatably the best play in the NBA.With Jordan there was no debate.
Lebron could be considered better than Kobe but he needs to win 5 or 6 rings and the way the Lakers look this year Lebron won't be playing long enough to catch Kobe's ring total.

I heard Charles Barkley say the other day that NO ONE will ever compare to Michael Jordan and certainly no one in the game right now.

I can't say MJ is the best simply because I haven't seen others play. I've heard Big O was head and shoulders above all others. He also played when the league was smaller.

I think the only one who can be in the same conversation with Jordan is Chamberlain.Wilt told Jordan that when he was playing they changed the rules(no dunking) to make it harder on him and when Jordan was playing they changed the rules(no hand checking) to make it easier for him.I'm a huge Bird fan and I have a hard time saying Bird was better than Jordan.

Didn't the big average a triple double for an entire season?

Its an amazing stat but not grounds for being the greatest player ever.

MJ beat the pistions on the backside of their dynasty. Utah wasn't a great team. Phoenix wasn't a great team.

Pistons had just won two championships in a row when Jordan beat them.If they were on the backside he was the one who put them there.They beat the Lakers with Magic for their first ring.
