Well,donny has actually played against both of them, and he isnt the only one with that opinion, ive heards people like Marc Jackson, Jon Sally, even Scottie pippen say similar things...I tend to disagree, I dont think kobe could carry MJ's jock strap...I think when it comes to mental toughness Kobe isnt even on the same planet as MJ, I honestly believe Kobe is completly overrated, hardly better than Pierce, and undeserving off most of his accolades, the amount of times this guy has made 1st team all nba and defense is a joke
Anyone who would honestly take Kobe Bryant over MJ in a pickup game, video game, any game is just plain stupid imo
Kobe bryant right now is better than the 40 year old washingon wizards MJ(maybe)
