You look at the lakers now without shaq, and they haven't won (yet). Shaq was more of a leader than kobe or at least more of a role player. Shaq won 3 with the lakers and then won with the heat as well. What did kobe do in 2005? They had a 3-1 lead and they blew it.
Yes, Kobe is good, and it's not all on his hands, but he is the leader of the team. If you want to be compared to the best, you gotta take the heat. MJ was the best clutch player, hands down. When it came to crunch time, he got the job done. Kobe hasn't.

Agreed 100%...Jordan also made other players better, just by his presence. I dont see the same in Kobe...he is more like an 'all about me' type player imo.
