This might not be a surprise, considering I'm writing this for a Chicago-themed blog, but despite Kobe Bryant's heroics in this year's playoffs, I still don't think he's in the same league as Michael Jordan. Put the comparisons to bed — as far as I'm concerned, Kobe still has a long way to go before he finds himself in MJ's company.

Kobe doesn't want to be Michael Jordan he wants to be Kobe Bryant and that is definitely who he is.
