One of the reason's Kobe fails in comparison is because Jordan dominated basketball for pretty much a decade. He was by far the best player in the league and his team won 6 out of 8 titles and probably would have one 8 in a freaking row if he didn't decide to go play baseball during 2 of his prime years. Jordan was viewed as the champ that took on all comers and never lost (He wasn't the same guy playing against the Magic) once he won the title. The dude quit for 2 years and came back and won 3 more titles. Kobe and the Lakes don't have the same period of dominance that Jordan had in the NBA. You really can't even count the titles that Shaq lead the team to, because Kobe wasn't the guy that led the team and Kobe already lost 1 NBA finals. Once Jordan was "Jordan" he was no doubt the best, and nobody ever took that title from him. Kobe had the chance but couldn't get past the Celtics.
