Jordan, because I haven't seen Lebron's prime yet. Kobe isn't even in the discussion. Kobe may be the best talent in the league, but I have yet to see him take the Lakers on his back to be a great team. Take away Shaq (no explanation), Gasol (been on fire since him) and Bynum (playing extemely well this year) and the Lakers have always been nothing to get worked up about.

Thats a pretty stupid comment but I guess a pretty stupid thread deserves one. Jordan easily how could you not chose the greatest of all time.

Prime Jordan ('89-'93) was essentially the best elements of Lebron and Kobe combined in one player:
- Lebron's penetration and finishing ability, all-around game and production, efficiency, and help defense.
- Kobe's offensive skillset, shooting touch, individual defense, clutch ability. and mental approach.
And, in many of those areas, Jordan was better than either of those players are. So yeah, I'd take Jordan.
- Lebron's penetration and finishing ability, all-around game and production, efficiency, and help defense.
- Kobe's offensive skillset, shooting touch, individual defense, clutch ability. and mental approach.

I still don't understand your point, did Kobe have to win with Kwame and Smush starting to be great? Or do you chose to ignore the fact that all great players need some help to win a championship?
Yeah I understand that, but Kobe gets all this unnecessary praise that's not even fully warranted, meaning nobody on the team gets any or it's other players fault.
When Kwame and Smush are playing it's their fault, which it probably was, but now with Gasol, Bymun and the rest of the team playing well this year, Kobe get's all the praise like it's all because of him.
Jordan and Lebron have has success with less around them and deserve more praise IMO, but Kobe gets the same treatment as them or more.
