Great post! I'm from Chicago and as a 90's kid I have so much love for Jordan. I think a lot of people that try to compare other players to him fail to recognize the difference in eras.

It was much harder to dribble and get to the hoop in the 90s compared to now. The physicality of the game was incredible!

But I do agree that Kobe was definitely the "Heir Apparent". Have you ever seen the video where they show Jordan and Kobe's moves side by side and they are nearly identical? Its chilling!
