Are you nuts? Kobe's been doing the MJ clutch thing the entire playoffs. He's playing like MJ right now and if he does it for another several years... 7, 8, 9... who knows, then YES, the debate can commence between Kobe and MJ.
Look, I grew up watching MJ just like everybody else. That amount of greatness doesn't ever want to be seen by my eyes again because the kind of player MJ was was just PERFECT, and the memories of watching that guy play last a lifetime, but the fact is, I think we're eventually going to see another Jordan, and probably someone who does what Jordan did only better. And right now Kobe is the guy to do that sort of thing, if there's anybody out there.
