COrrect me if I am wrong, but Sportscenter said that one game Jordon score 61 he sat the entire 4th Quarter! He probably could have score more if he wanted to. If you noticed, Even after the lakers were up by 10 or 15 in the 4th Quarter, Kobe was still in!! Why does he need to still be playing? Just to inflate his own ego more?
Earlier this year Kobe scored 60 something against the Mavericks and also sat out the 4th quarter.
What I think is the biggest and most important reason that Jordan is better than Bryant is because Jordan made his team better. I haven't seen Kobe make his team better other than drawing a double team here or there.
I'm glad some people are mentioning older names like Wilt and Oscar Robertson. The Big O is probably one of the most under-rated players that ever played the game. I think the golden era in the NBA is the late 80's-early 90's but the a lot of the guys that were playing in the 60's could take on players of our generation.
