Kobe is definitely in a league of his own in THIS NBA...that's for sure.

Lets look at Kobe's starting Line up after his team was gutted. Then we will take a look at the Bulls starting line up when it was in its prime.
2006 team
PG-Smush Parker
SG-Kobe Bryant.
SF-Luke Walton
PF-Lamar Odom
C-Kwame Brown
2005 team
Chucky Atkins
Bryant
Walton
Odom
Mihm.
hell, look at the rest of that shitty team. lol

I dont know about anyone else, but, Kobe and Lamar are the only 2 players worth a damn from their 2005-2006 teams. Notible scrubs of the bench. Brian Cook, Cant count Chris Mihm He hasnt played in like 2 years. Devean George, Laron Profit, 18 year old Andrew Bynum. Fresh off of open heart surgery Ronnie Turiaf.
B.J Armstrong
Michael Jordan
Scottie Pippen
Horace Grant
Bill Cartwright
None of them players on the Bulls starting line up are detrimental to the team. Remember they also had Craig Hodges off the bench who is/was one of the. Hell, the best 3 point shooter of all time. Now for the 2nd run of their play off run.'
Ron Harper
Michael Jordan
Scottie Pippen
Dennis Rodman
Luc Longely
This team also had Paxon, Kukoc off the bench.
Come on now. Jordan couldnt win with the 2006 Lakers.
