Jordan and Bryant are the same player, except Jordan was better, quicker

Pippen and Oden are both slashers, both can hit the 3 and both rebound. Both can also control the ball. Good passers

Walton is probably the one far out there. But is solid from 18 in like Grant, can rebound, and hit the three once in a while, like Kukoc

Fisher is probably better then Kerr and BJ Armstrong. Both were good floor generals and leaders, all three find a way to get the ball into the studs hands, while all three hit clutch shots when needed

Cartwright was solid from about 10 in, and Bynum is getting there. Both rebound and can take up the others big.

Gasol is probably closer to Kukoc then Cartwright

Did you just say that Jordan and Bryant are the same player, but Jordan was better and quicker!!! Good lord--you can do this with anyone. Lets see here......Paul Pierce and Jordan are the same player but Jordan was better and quicker....Melo and Pippen are the same player, but Pippen was better etc etc. This list can go on and on and on. Take any slasher in the NBA and you can compare their skill set with any other slasher. But when it comes to talent, the Lakers are no where near the level the Bulls were at.

Did you not see Michael Jordan play? Bryant has the EXACT same game as him. There is no difference in the type of game they play, on both sides of the court. Jordan was just better at him but not by much.

Paul Pierce to Jordan, OH MY, MELO to Jordan, OH MY.

Kobe plays at two levels, the good level and the need a stop level. He also steps up defensively when he gets challenged like Jordan used to. I used to love watching him play D against Detroit and New York, he would just shut people down.

Kobe is nowhere near the skill level of Jordan. Of course their skill set is going to be the same, THEY PLAY THE SAME POSTION - DUH. There are tons of players in the NBA with the same skill sets of Jordan and Kobe, but the talent is what makes the difference. Jordan made everyone around him better--Kobe hasnt not reached that point in his career and probably never will.

Kobe most certainly has a similar skill level as Jordan. Jordan made everyone better once the rest of the players were better. Funny how that works.

My one sports regret was not seeing Jordan more live. the only game I ever went to was in the 88-89 playoffs against the Knicks. And the old Stadium isn't like the UC where there isn't a bad seat in the joint, I was only 10, and couldn't see a damn thing.

I was lucky and had Pacers season tickets from 1985 to 2002 so I got to see Jordan many times. It was a real real treat.
