The Kobe-Jordan Comparisons Officially End Now

I wasn't too into the "Kobe Is Just As Good As Jordan If Not Better" talk that was making it's way around the sports world leading into the NBA Finals. We saw what the Celtics did to Kobe. Does that ever happen to Jordan? Defenses never cut Jordan out--they just made him work harder for his 45 points. Check out this clip below from the 1990 NBA Playoffs. The Pistons were one of the top defensive teams (not to mention physical) of their era. The more I watch this, the more I'm convinced that Jordan could've averaged over 40 a game with today's rules.
