LeBron James wasn't "the next Jordan" IMO. He was a very different type of player. He ended up probably as great as Jordan, but I don't think he was a "Jordan-type."

And Kobe Bryant was better than Vince Carter but I think Carter was much more alike to Jordan stylistically. I didn't say Carter was the best player who was dubbed "the next Jordan" but that he at times best captured the magic of Jordan. I consider the "Jordan magic" to be the first half of his career when he used jaw-dropping athleticism to attack the basket for crazy dunks and finishes. Kobe, to me, played much more like late-career Jordan--tons of fade-aways, still a great slasher but less "gravity-defying."
