Yeah, Jordan is easily better, we already know.
This place is a cesspool of mindless ineptitude, mental decrepitude, and intellectual lassitude. I refuse to be sucked any deeper into this whirlpool of groupthink sewage. My opinions have been expressed. I'm going to go take a shower.

Personally I prefer Kobe for today's era. Better 3 point shooter.

Kobe is only 0.02% better than MJ over their careers from 3 point range. Even if you take out Kobe's last 3 seasons his career avg only increases to 33.6% vs Jordan's 32.7%. Mind you if we take out Jordan's Wizards years his career avg would be 33.2%. Such a tiny advantage for Kobe in one category isn't worth the advantages MJ has in so many others. Also, let's not lose sight of the fact that even in today's NBA you don't need to be a deadeye shooter to be an elite offensive player. 2 of the top 5 players right now, Lebron and Westbrook, have terrible jumpshots yet that hasn't stopped them from dominating at all.

This is missing vertical. Jordan could jump like a foot higher than Kobe. Jordan was an alien.

No, he couldn't. Jordan didn't have a 48 inch vertical, for god's sake. More like 42-43.
