The guy most comparable to Kobe is Julius Erving
They both were great players, I still believe Julius Erving is better but if Kobe should be getting compared to any legend it would be a guy is right outside the top 10 in Erving.

Re: The guy most comparable to Kobe is Julius Erving
Dr. J averaged 3 more boards and shot 5% better from the field, while not being a threat from deep (which Bryant is, though that's not the strength of his game). Symptomatic of Erving being a pure 3. He could have played SG (which is Bryant's primary and best position) because he's just such a great player, but that doesn't mean he was true guard.

It's not terrible if viewed in those terms but Erving is still ahead.

He hasn't even shown himself better than Pierce. Pierce on a busted knee outplayed him. Billups who wasn't even a star outplayed him in the 2004 finals.

How can Kobe be comparable to Erving, if Vince Carter is so much better than Kobe?

Re: The guy most comparable to Kobe is Julius Erving
You say T-Mac is better than Kobe, so T-Mac is better than Dr J?
Kobe is better than Erving. He's MUCH more skilled, better all-around, and has three times as many rings.
Larry Bird's career "per" is lower than Kobes, despite Kobe coming out of high school 5 years younger than Bird. Does that mean Kobe's better than Bird?

Don't change the theme of the topic this is about Kobe and Dr J.
Anyway Larry Bird has led the league in PER before and he has 2 finals MVP's and 3 league MVP's. He is much better than Kobe.
