Speaking of MJ as a player evaluator, wouldn't this qualify as tampering considering he is affiliated with a team and is commenting on players currently under contract?
Apparently, those rules are pretty strict - I remember listening to a radio interview with Rockets GM Daryl Morey and he refused to answer seemingly innocent questions like "Name an underrated player in this league" because he didn't want to get in trouble.
MJ wasn't speaking to the value of either player. That would be tampering. He said who in his opinion has had more success so far.

James' response at shootaround Thursday, as the Heat prepare for their showdown with the Thunder:
"It doesn't matter to me. If you take Kobe one and I go second, it doesn't matter. I don't get too involved in what guys say about me or if you take Kobe or if you take LeBron. As long as I'm on the floor and I make plays for my teammates, I don't do what I do for other people's approval."

I would love if someone will ever be able to ask him the correct question... "Who do you think is the best player NOW" "Who would you take TODAY"...
Because career wise its an easy choice... he keeps mentioning those five rings afterall...
Either he is talking about their careers... thats understandable... or MJ is one insecure old bitter guy...
that's a really STUPID question because anyone, even myself as a huge kobe stan would take lebron today... why wouldn't you take a guy in his prime?
and everybody bringing up robert horry is HILARIOUS because you're still saying MJ>Kobe>Lebron right? You are basically saying robert horry contributed to those rings on the same level as mj did to his, kobe did to his, and lebron did to his...
He picked Kobe because he has five rings over the one by Lebron. Jordan also added that Lebron could possibly have five or more rings when his (Lebron) career is over. Get a grip. The Kobe hating has to stop.
