He's more savvy, even more clutch, a better leader and his ability to overcome some pretty crazy physical adversity and rise up like he never has before and you want to categorize all that as compiling and think he was a better player earlier in his career. OK
To each there own. That's why they call them opinions. I am not really interested in breaking down the definition of compilation with you. Ever since Kobe came in the league there has been a group of people who came out and said nobody will ever be greater than Jordan as if they had an investment in that fact. Kobe won't win a Championship. Kobe will never win a championship without Shaq. Kobe will never come close to have the 6 championships Jordan had. Now if exceeds everything it's just compiling and no indication of his greatness as a player. Whatever.

My comment about whatever previous arguments were raised in this thread about MJ being a compiler is mostly just blowing it off as a poor argument for whoever raised it.
I'm not arguing that Kobe isn't an elite player nor one of the best at his position that the game has seen. His ability to play at that high of a level and how he has changed his game over the past few years to make up for the slight loss of athleticism has been damn impressive.
Still at his peak is doesn't quite measure up to Jordan which isn't a knock on how good of a player he really is.
