I dont think you need to be gifted to reconize greatness, many just dont say it because they're having a hard time admiting that Kobe will be better than Jordan at the end of his career. I got to see both players in their prime and are almost identical, but kobe was just great from the start, and players like that, just get better in their shooting as time passes.</p>

Here's the direct quote from Coach Karl ... <span id="RDS_global"><span id="RDS_global">Denver Nuggets coach George Karl had this to say about Bryant: "I think he's one of the top three talents that have ever played the game, (joining) Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson."</span></span></p>
Not to stray too far off topic, but I really think that Bird should always be mentioned in the same breath as Magic. It's just my opinion, but I feel like even though they were different players (with a lot of similarities one was not better nor worse than the other.</p>
