Out of all players compared to Jordan, which do you think is the closest?

I don't think so. He had the greatest hoops of all the players I saw, but he didn't had the basketball fundamentals Jordan and Bryant had. Plus he was nowhere near them as far as defense goes (specially MJ). Still, he was and is the greatest dunker of all-time. Hands down.

exactly...vc didnt have the footwork, defense, and overall fundamentals. 1 hell of an athlete, tho.

Yeah but I feel like a lot of that has to do with effort and studying the game as opposed to the god given talent he had.

Partly, yes. Actually, Vince had a better jumpshot coming to the NBA than Michael. But he made a basic mistake, most of today's athlete's are making - he didn't worked on his basketball skills enough. He just based on his athleticism, and was jumping over guys left and right. Jordan on the other hand was always trying to turn his weaknesses into strenghts and Kobe followed into his footsteps by doing the same and working hard.
When Vince's athleticism was gone, it showed his true colors of him being a good, solid player but no more a "great" one like before. Still, being the greatest dunker ever is a hell of achievement if you ask me. He didn't have the hang-time, the finess and the body control of a Jordan, but his hoops were insane and his dunks were just second to none. I still remember some of the jams from his rookie season - shit was off the hook 8)
Those dunks on Mutombo and Mullin are just ridiculous :o
