My point was that because Kobe will NEVER EVER be able to compete with MJ stats wise (except for games and seasons played), the only way he has a chance in hell of being as good as MJ is with playoff success. And yes, he has 5 rings, so good on Kobe. Even now, with two MVP's in playoffs (to MJ's six), its not really that logical to put Kobe up with MJ. Kobe is top 10 all time definitely, and second best shooting guard ever.
Kobe is not Michael as he has more flaws in his game (decision making/bball sense being the biggest) but he is fucking good.

point is, you already admitted that Kobe was as talented as MJ and claimed that he just neeeded the hardware to surpass him in stature...that was back when kobe had 3 titles. now that kobe has 5 going on 6, the tune has changed. if kobe wins 7 titles, he not only surapassed the talent and ability of MJ, but will have surpassed him in hardware as well. kobe will never match mj stastically, because they were placed in two completely different scenerios. mj was handed a franchise from day 1, while kobe had to work his way to the top (of the greatest franchise in this sport)...so yea, statistics will not tell the story as far as talent and ability in this case...titles should. lets see how it ends.

being a focal point of a threepeat team before being legally able to drink is nothing but impressive.
