Shaq said htat about his teammate. Now he says bad things. He's hardly objective. Hell, I would never take Shaq's opinion to mean anything ever. I love him more than anyone else as far as when he opens his mouth... but saying he has Jordan potential?
1) With an ego like Kobe's, that might make him play harder, and give the Lakers a chance to succeed.
2) On the other hand, since Kobe and everyone else in the WORLD grew up idolizing Jordan, the comparison might cripple Kobe's development. Having the highest expectations in the world put on you by everyone is not a healthy thing.
Ask Harold Minor, or Vince Carter.
