Who is the next Michael Jordan?

I don't think there will be another "Jordan". A few like Kobe, and Lebron have the talent, but they play in a different league than the one that Jordan played in. Rules are different, geared more towards offense and take away some of the defense's ability to stop someone. Also there is no one, that commmands the respect and awe that Michael did. Teams developed whole strategies around him. He also is the ultimate closer, no one I belive will be able to do what he did in the closing seconds of a close game.He took his team to count them 6 championships. Who else did that besides Bill Russell? No one, and I don't think anyone else can.\n\nHe is so much more than a basketball player though, he was a icon. A marketing genious, and the most recognized person on the planet during his time. Maybe one day someone will command that respect, but hell they will still measure him as the next Michael Jordan. Not the next Kobe or Lebron or Wade, the next Jordan. He is the epitome, he is the standard of greatness.\n\nYeah he scored 81 in a game, but his teammate were just feeding him the ball, and the defense wasn't doing shit to even try and stop him, they gave up. Plus he was at home. Michael scored 63 in Boston in a playoff game against Larry Bird. Which do you think is more impressive. Not taking anything away from Kobe, but I would rather have what Jordan did.

I really want to say Lebron but... it's too soon in his career.   So I guess the answer is Michael... for now.

Point is, he played a GREAT game and he deserves that MVP trophy for this series. Michael Jordan is the best of all time, I think that D.Wade can earn a spot next to MJ if he continues to play like this, but replace MJ and be the MJ of this generation, I don't know....

Me personally I would go with Michael Jordan, you know MJ thats right He had it all, stlye, calm under pressure, the ability to pass, which most rising stars fail to do, and most of all he loved the game.  He renovated the game for the Kobe's and the LeBron's.  For that there is no equal!

I know Michael Jordan has done it several times. Kobe did last night. I'm not sure who else but I'm sure others have. You can probably get a more complete list from NBA.com

Jordan brought class, style, skill, and a new level of respect to the NBA. There was no one like him. There will be no one like him. Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan. The one and only...

At this point, Michael Jordan is the best player basketball has ever seen.  He was a consistent scorer, a crowd pleaser and incredible in the clutch...\n\nNo one has even matched that...

I think it will either be A.I. or Lebron James.  I'm a Kobe fan, but this year he looks like he's going to be more passive and get his teammates involved more.  For A.I. he's always been that high consistent scorer for most of his career.  Lebron James can put up some big numbers at times, but I don't know if he'll make 30 or more a game.  So I'll bet on A.I., one of the best scoreres of all-time.

michael jordan of course! he had 6 championship rings in like 8 years! as soon as he left, his team struggled. he is the perfect role model of young children as well. he did not take drugs of anything like that. whoever his high school coach was must be real pissed off right now for cutting MJ from the team. MJ came from being cut from his high school team to becoming the greatest basketball player of all time. no player in the next century of so will ever be as great a player as Michael Jordan. His vision, creativity, desire, grace, strength, will, and heart showed it all. anyone who does not at least put the Michael Jordan in the top 2 for the best basketball player to ever play the game is a disgrace to mankind!
