Mike is of different class. KOBE is THE most exciting player in the NBA and when he gets on going, he cant be stopped..as simple as that! James has all the tools but again he is of different breed. Wade reminded me of young KOBE last year..making circus shots, feeding Shaq..and yes he is smarter than KOBE...but now what has happened to Miami? No shaq, no win...NBA is way too competitive to have one player do it all..it aint feasible!! For L.A, its all about Odom and Co, Kobe will do have the job, they just need to finish half of it....Win few championships and KOBE's legacy will be up there with Mikes... Anyone, watching how DARko is progressing..he is getting there..thats what proper developing does to you, I am happy that HIll and Howard are ripping it up in ORL. Is 2003 draft the best top 5 ever? James, Wade, Darko, Bosh, Anthony? Or how about 98 draft as deep draft? Nowitzki, Carter, Pierce, Larry HUghes, Jamison, ..other than Kandy man, rest of the top 10 are doing well..
