Everything you've been telling me comes down to this.

I dont think ANYONE is better than Michael Jordan. He is the greatest, period. I DO think Kobe is up there on that level though, and just the fact that you could potentially debate their talents is a testiment to the talent of Kobe.
Kobe isnt better than MJ.
LeBron isnt better than Kobe.
James is the most athletically gifted player in pro sports today, no doubt...but his jump shot is sketchy.
He gets almost ALL his points by using his athleticism, and most of his assists come in that same form. He either drives and gets a dunk/layup, or drives and dishes out after the collapse.
He isnt Steve Nash or CP3 (or even Rondo) in his passing, he isnt Kobe Bryant in his clutch shooting, and he isnt Micheal Jordan in his basketball IQ and consistency.
But according to most James Jock Riders, he is the greatest thing EVER. He is not, he is nothing more than a big, strong, fast player who can drive the basket.
