    Jordan would have had 45 with Luc Longley kicking the ball out from the post...

    Kobe will never be Jordan. Kobe has had loads of talent around him for every championship. Jordan had Pippen and a bunch of role players. And you saw how great Scotty Pippen was when he went to the Trailblazers.

    Put Kobe Bryant on those Bulls teams and the Bulls don't win any championships.

    jordan is better.

    but, jordan had a hall of famer next to him and perhaps the greatest rebounder of all-time. grant, kukoc, and harper were outstanding role players. certainly better than fisher and devean george.

    and you saw how great willie mays was with the mets. no way he could hack it without willie mccovey batting near him.

    Robert Horry, Glen Rice, Rick Fox, Ron Harper, Shaquille O'Neal. I would take any of those guys over Grant and Kucoc. Then Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum, along with Areza.

    Nique Wilkins.

    Also, LeBron will end his career as the best all-around player ever.

    Its way to soon to make that call. LeBron is still young. Lets wait a few years and a few NBA titles to say that. Right now he is a notch behind Kobe, 5 or 6 notches behind Larry Bird and Magic Johnson and lots of notches below Michael Jordan.

    If he never wins a title (because he's surrounded by crap) but he plays at the same level for 8-10 more years, I will still call him the best ever.
