Differences
Kobe Bryant was almost identical to Michael Jordan, however, Kobe had an injury and because he hasn't been practicing as often, he is now the “200th best player in the league” (Kobe Bryant). This shows how hard it is to become as good as Michael Jordan. Kobe was so close but because he took a little break and now he is one of the worst players in the league.
Summary

- After an injury he is now the "200th best player on the league" (Kobe Bryant)
- This shows that its hard to be as good as Michael Jordan, and takes constant practice
Conclution
There are many people that are catching up to Michael Jordan like Stephen Curry, but it takes time and effort and even a minor break, such as the one Kobe Bryant took can cause a severe setback.
