If you put Kobe against Jordan in their prime. I think Jordan would have a tough time with him.  Kobe's turn around jump shots are the best I've ever seen.  Jordan was a better driving player.

 Kobe is more of a team player imo, more assists and what not. Jordan was scoring 50+ 60+ points a game.  He carried the bulls on his back.

 Phil Jackson made them two players into the best in the world.
