Oh wait... you're talking all-time.

All-time, MJ is the guy for now. But we have to wait and see what Kobe can do with the next few years. Give him 3 more rings and the gap starts closing up. In my mind, they're the Top 2 2-guards of all-time. At his best, Kobe is as good as anybody ever has been. As good as he is, however, he has acted like a baby to the detriment of his team a few times. That Game 7 against Phoenix where Kobe didn't shoot in the 2nd half would have never happened with MJ. Talent-wise, they're equals. Mentally (and statistically), MJ's got the edge.

The real question... Will LeBron create a whole new level of his own before he's done?
