Neither, MJ had Pippen and Rodman. LeBron doesn't have a Pippen, many say Larry Hughes is his Pippen but Pippen was way better that Hughes. Nobody on the Cavs is a dominant defensive player like Rodman was. Kobe has a Pippen (Odom), but he doesn't have a good defensive player on his team like Rodman. In order for a superstar to win 6 championships, they need a sidekick and a dominant defensive player. Wade is the closest, but he will get less than 6, maybe 3.

Lebron is...he got his team farther this year. Kobe shoots way too much. Lebron would share the ball more if there was someone else on the Cavs that could shoot the ball.

People will always say Lebron or Shaq, but you have to see if scoring a bunch of points makes them great. If Shaq didnt weigh 300 lbs and was only 6'6" like M.J. he would be working at McDonalds. He sucks. He is only good when he is 3 feet from the rim. Kobe is better than Lebron but excluding those 2 Wade is coming up very fast. It took more than Shaq to get them to the finals right? Kobe #1   Lebron #2    Wade#3     Shaq#12

There is no next Jordan.  I can't see someone winning 6 NBA Finals MVP's in a row.\n\nKobe is the most similar player to Jordan that we have ever seen, more similar than James, or Carter, or Iverson, but I think James has more potential than Kobe.  James should have a better career than Kobe, but people who say James is the next Jordan are dumb cause his style isn't even close - he's more of a Magic Johnson - and he doesn't have the Air (Jumping skills) like Jordan or Kobe.

Yes, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are at par with Jordan's basketball - and a scary thought is that both have got many years of basketball ahead of them.

You should ask this question 10 years from now.  When Lebron has proven himself to be what he is supposed to be.  MJ is a king and could beat anyone in his prime.

Jordan now.. But Kobe has chance to be the greatest by the end of his career..

NO!!! not even close. When Kobe has six championships i will think about it. Kobe has like 2 assists a game. Being a better player equals getting the rest of your team involved and not just scoring 40 points a game. MJ could score over 40 still have 10 assists and have his team win the game.

Kobe could beat Jordan now.  But, Jordan in his prime could easily drive to the basket on Kobe and probably vice versa.  It might be close..Kobe thrives in one on one situations....In the end Jordan would probably pull up and hit a couple of jumpers to seal the win though. Similar to what he did to Byron Russell.  Jordan is the definition of clutch.  Kobe is clutch sometimes but is not even close to the consistency of MJ.

Well, right now LeBron James is the best in the NBA. But, the best player ever is the one and only MJ. But I wouldn't be surprised to see LBJ pass Jordan up.\n\nI LOVE BASKETBALL TOO!

lebron james. at first people might think kobe or a.i., but look at where their team is now! barely makin the playoffs, or even missin the mark! u look at the cavaliers, nd u see a great team, with a great leader. lebron james is the leader in triple doubles, nd nothin hlps a team more than a responsible leader. lebron admits it when he has a down game, nd unlike other good nba players, blames himself, not his team, for the loss. if u ask me, lebron will be not only this yrs mvp, but mvp for many yrs to come...

Cavs are okay. Best player is probably Lebron or Kobe, I'm leaning Kobe, because he's more proven to lead his team. MVP? Should be Kobe, because without him they would probably be in last place in the Western Conference.

Kobe for pure scoring ability, but depends on if its Jordan now, or at his best. And he has to be facing Kobe at his best, and we've yet to see it.

I think it will either be A.I. or Lebron James.  I'm a Kobe fan, but this year he looks like he's going to be more passive and get his teammates involved more.  For A.I. he's always been that high consistent scorer for most of his career.  Lebron James can put up some big numbers at times, but I don't know if he'll make 30 or more a game.  So I'll bet on A.I., one of the best scoreres of all-time.

Well, it has to be Michael Jordan.  Six championships, numerous MVP awards, and he made all of his teammates on the Bulls better.  However, LeBron James is probably going to replace MJ as the best ever some day.  At 21 he is almost as good as Jordan was in his prime.  We are all witnesses ...

Def Lebron James. The only reason Wade has a championship ring and James doesn't is because he has a better supporting cast.\nAnd to 3R2QRFW E are you telling me that Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Larry Bird, Manu Ginobli, Keith Vanhorn, Doug Christi, or Mike Bibby can't play some b-ball?

I really want to say Lebron but... it's too soon in his career.   So I guess the answer is Michael... for now.
