Jordan was so much better in terms of accomplishments and his impact on the game during his time that there is quite a gulf between him and Kobe.
Remember, Kobe is maybe top 12 all time, Jordan is 1st. That's a sizable gap.
I remember for a while Jordan was being compared to Dr J, but he far surpassed Dr J. During that time, it was quite comparison to overcome.
Kobe has not overcome his comparison. I think he's embraced it and chased it to the point of lessening his teams ability to win games, though I am not saying they are better without him, just that they could be so much better with him than they are now, were he to play to win instead of chasing the carrot on a stick.

that . Good catch.
