Lebron James, Kobe Bryant. The question, which could be the next Michael Jordan?

Now, I know you've all heard this come up before but let's break it down. So far, Lebron and the Cavaliers are undefeated in the playoffs and could take it all the way to the championship. Kobe and his Lakers, obviously aren't on a roll like the Cav's. Now last year Kobe had a record breaking 81-point game. For him it takes some hard work and a little bit of not passing the ball so much. But that's almost the only way possible. Lebron James, fresh out of high school when he got drafted in 2003. Lebron was looked at by college scouts when he was in middle school.  But Lebron didn't go to college but right to the NBA after high school. Lebron has showed all of us how good he is. But, so has Kobe. Lebron is also much younger than Kobe and has already been compared to Kobe and listed as better in opinion by many people. But to compare either of them to MJ? Some experts say that's ludicrous. Some say there is a possibility. Lebron and Kobe have good enough stats to compare to MJ. Kobe has the championship rings to prove it but it seems that's just not enough. He also had Shaquille O'neal with him for a majority of those championships. Lebron, this year is looking to get his ring. Lebron has the stat's of a pure veteran already and he's in his early 20's. Lebron has more than enough potential to get even better than MJ. Kobe made his mark and is easing his way into retirement. Lebron is still on the grind to be better than most people in opinion. But, right now he's looking to take his team to the championship and that's all he's focused on. A good, old school player like Lebron has brought excitement back into the NBA. Kobe turning his number to 24 for the reason of what most say because he thinks he's "1 better than Michael Jordan". But that could also not be true. The arguement over this could go on for years it's just your opinion on who you think is better. Unless, of course, the stats prove who's better.
