[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6716123, member: 549629"] Kobe is very good, and Id agree he probably comes the closest. But Jordan single handedly dominated the NBA. Yes Pippen was **** good, Rodman and Horace Grant were rebounding machines, and the Bulls had a fair share of other good players... but without Jordan they would have been just another average to above average team... as shown by the season Jordan was gone. Jordan defined dominance, sayings like "Tiger Woods is the Jordan of golf" becoming common. Jordan simply had everything you could want in an NBA player... legendary speed and quickness, jumping ability to die for, outside shooting that brought even a good defense to their knees, and intelligence that made him a coach and 'court general' out on the floor. His teammates looked up to him, his competitors feared him, and through it all he simply cruised into history as a dynasty setting player who could not be stopped. Im utterly amazed anyone who watches the sport regularly these days could even question that he would be 'average' by today's standards. He didnt play 50 years ago, the NBA was highly competitive in his years... he simply made it look otherwise. [/QUOTE]
