The 2 years off thing really gets me. If his dad hadn't died like he did, I don't think Jordan would have ever retired like that. But I think his dad's passing really shook him up mentally, which is why he left the game for awhile. If Michael had played those two years, there's no doubt in my mind that he would have won 8 in a row. He was that competitive.

Lebron might actually end up with more career points when his career is over, but in no way will I put him in the same conversation with Jordan or really even Kobe. He just doesn't have the killer mentality that Kobe and Michael have. Those intangibles are what set those guys apart from all the rest.
