Tommy, my man. I'm a huge KOBEEEEEEEEEEEEE fan. He's, by far, my favorite player. Ask Matt he can tell you. In my opinion he and the Lakers are the most exciting team to watch in the NBA. But I do NOT think he is better than His Airness. You have to look at the era in which they played. Michael did it in, arguably, the NBA's golden era. I'm talkin Magic, Bird, Ewing, Hakeem, Barkley, Malone, Stockton, Dominique and so on. Michael did this on a nighly basis against the greats of NBA history.

I give Kobe all the credit in the world. Scoring 50 points four nights in a row is amazing, but when you wan't to compare him to His Airness some of the wowness will be taken away. I mean, cmon, scoring 50 against the Grizz and Hornets?????? It is amazing do not get me wrong, but let's keep it in perspective and not compare it to His Airness.

Having said all of that I believe Kobe is, without a doubt, the best player in the NBA. I don't want to hear about LeBron and Wade. Kobe is the new face of the NBA. Let's leave the past in the past and let KOBE have his time to shine.
