that´s probably true and had he won 8 rings there wouldn´t have been much of an argument. but it´s hard to say who´s the best, but there´s no room for discussion when you talk about who´s had the biggest impact on every aspect of the game.... Kobe wiill NEVER have the same iconic status as Mike.

Kobe can't be that iconic status because MJ is already their; he'll always be second to MJ (except to Laker fans), until LeBron pushes Kobe back to third. ;D :P
if their was no Jordan people would praise Kobe like he is the best thing to ever step on the court, he would be the iconic NBA figure if Jordan wasn't who he was.

Kobe never had a chance to be that iconic figure...if he came into the league in '84, in Jordan's position, he woulda definitely had a chance at that same marketing & push that the NBA gave Jordan...but he didn't and it is what it is...still...public image status doesn't define skill, and when comparing players, i'd prefer to keep my focus on what they do on the court...PeACe

yeah, that's what i mean.
but if you focus on what they did on the court, MJ (at this point) is still on top of Kobe; stats & rings.

Honestly, Kobe will more then likely never even make it to #2. Anything can happen I guess, but more then likely he wont even go down as the greatest Laker of all time...and maybe not even the second greatest Laker of all time with Magic and Kareem holding those two spots.

Kobe has a long way to go before he retires. Let's continue this debate in about 7 to 8 years.

no doubt, but here's my thing...
let's say in a year or so this Laker squad breaks up & Kobe never wins another ring, but continues to put up the same stats (i mean look at the Celtics, shit happens).
so he never wins another ring, but you people will still stay debating that he is the best & shit.
so basically MJ is in a lose-lose situation for this debate, regardless of when it takes place. :P
