No questions MJ is great and I guess the greatest. However my argument for Kobe is always this...

After Shaq left, Kobe went almost 4 years w/o any superstar level help.

Jordan NEVER had a year that he wasn't setup with an All Star squad. The moment he lost in the Eastern conference semi's he was rewarded with Dennis Rodman.

Jordan NEVER had to threaten to leave a team to get more talent for their star.

Jordan played with Scottie who was a top 50 player of All Time. Even if you kicked it up to top 100(given the extra time), can any of Kobe's teammates fill any of those spots aside from Shaq? Not even Pau Gasol.
