Yes and no....
Kobe was a different player from HS - straight to the NBA and had a NBA talent genetic family, well traveled and played much of his youth in Europe in a much different style of play/coaching...
Jordan was cut as a sophomore from the HS team....played in a controlled team first system in college under Dean....NBA allowed Jordan to demonstrate all his physical tools for several years, but had to learn to win against superior teams with talent at every position...
Don't get me wrong - I'd take Jordan 10 out of 10 times to build my team, but I'd pick Kobe to take the game winning shot....
TD is the greatest PF to every play the game, but not the same talent as MJ or KB...
