Physically at their peaks, I don't know that that's necessarily true.MJ was more athletic and more fundamentally sound but I will say Kobe is more exciting.On the decline? Yes. Overrated? Kill yourself. Top 2 offensive players to ever walk the planet. He and mj are interchangeable due to mikes credentials.
Kobe's a little taller, just as athletic, just as good a ball handler (and over the course of his career turned the ball over just as often as MJ did), as good a passer, as good a defender, during that stretch where he bulked up and changed his game was just as strong if not stronger than Jordan was, and just as hard a worker.
I disagree with the Kobe being more exciting. Maybe if you consider the number of game winning shots he's hit, but aside from that I don't get that statement.
What sets the two apart is the 6th championship and sheer number of individual awards Michael has.
Oh, and FG%. .497 to .454. (did you know, michael only shot .327% from three? .238, .189, and .291 his last three seasons. i just learned that. i knew he was bad but i had no idea.)
