Michael Jordan thinks only Kobe Bryant deserves comparisons | Ball Don't Lie - Yahoo! Sports
I remember in the 1990s, players that were deemed the next Michael Jordan: Harold Miner, Anfernee Hardaway, Grant Hill, Jerry Stackhouse, and Vince Carter. Harold Miner was even nicknamed Baby Jordan. The funniest quote I ever read about Harold Miner was someone calling him Baby Huey. LOL!

There are many great players in the NBA these days, most of whom have never been directly compared to Jordan. Nevertheless, His Airness says only one player comes close enough to his greatness to merit the comparison. Not surprisingly, that player is Kobe Bryant. Here's what Roland Lazenby, a great writer currently working on a Jordan book, tweeted on Sunday (via PBT): Kobe's ultimate competition is MJ. That's why MJ watches him. MJ made people think what he was doing wasn't human. Ditto the Kobester.
I never said Kobe was better than MJ. MJ just told me Kobe's the only one to have done the work, to deserve comparison.
