Kobe is quite possibly the most talented player to ever play the game.
He still is a tremendous athlete, and he has no weakness in his offensive game. None, at all. From 0 to 30 feet he has the best range out of any player in NBA history, I'd say, in terms of being able to score well from any spot on the floor. You can't say the same about Jordan.
If Kobe got more love from the refs, there wouldn't even be a discussion on who the best offensive player in the history of the league is.
If you take out his first three years, plus consider the fact that he played with Shaq for most of his career... and he STILL averaged 28.1 PPG after his first three seasons... You have to ask yourself what his average would be if he never played with Shaq ever. More than Jordan's 30ppg? More likely than not.
