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....

Individual talent , yes TD is not as great as mj , but as a complete player he is on a different plane than Bryant.
Kobe isn't exactly known as an efficient player, nor a lock down defender
