Nor would have MJ allowed the likes of a Paul Pierce to outperform him - remember how overmatched Barkley seemed in the '93 finals? And Barkely put up something like a 26/12/6 that series. The fact of the matter is, though, the whole "Kobe is close to MJ's level" suggestion was merely a product of the NBA hype machine and I don't think anyone ever really took it seriously. Kobe is a pantheon player who will win another championship or two, but you're right, the MJ comparisons need to stop; they never should have started.

Not only had they given him this year's title, but also four more in a row to go with it. Ha HA..... Laughable man! (c) The Jesus I'll give him the possibility of two. That would be one more than former Officer O'Neal, but still not on Jordan's level.
