The comparison of LeBron James to Michael Jordan is premature, but putting Kobe Bryant in Jordan’s footsteps is a complete joke. I continually argue with my friends about the fact that Kobe’s arrogance and selfishness affects his play and ability to win.
Bryant totally collapsed against Phoenix, then ran off the court without shaking hands with Steve Nash or Shawn Marion after the Lakers had blown a 3-1 lead to lose the series. This is the typical “me” approach that Bryant has always taken. James, on the other hand, respects the game and his opponents. Skip Bayless writes an excellent article comparing the three superstars.
