Kobe is the greatest player to ever play in the NBA...

Well, maybe (just maybe) not yet, but I guarantee that by the end of his career he will be the best player to ever play...He will never be recognized as the greatest, and the reason is because at the time Jordan came into the league, individual athlete mareketing just began...Jordan was just there at the right time...Kobe is only 24 and is already playing as good as Jordan in his prime...Jordan didn't develop a left hand 'till he was 27...Kobe came into the league straight from High School with a left hand...I've spoken with 2 college coaches about this subject and we all agreed...When Jordan was in the league, the NBA didn't have the talent it does today...They had Clyde Drexler, Dominique Wilkins, and Isiah Thomas. That's about it...There were no high flying players on every team like there are today...Today it's so much more competetive then it was in Jordan's time...Kobe is/will be the greatest player to ever play in the NBA, but because of the way the sports industry/marketing works, he will never be recognized as the greatest...Bottom line...PeACe
