Well Kobe looked verryyyyy mature in the Finals game, and through the whole season. Don't forget MJ had one of the best side-kicks ever, probably the best ever, in Scottie Pippen. He could do everything Jordan did, only he didn't shoot it as good as MJ did, and he wasn't that good of a creator for himself. MJ > Kobe right now though, but I see a lot of similarites in both of their teams. Big, strong players, a PG who can flat out shoot (Fisher/Harper/Paxson). Well Harper couldn't shoot that well, but he played on both the Bulls and the Lakers teams. Go-to-guy at SG, versitale players at SF, Odom and Pippen. PF, either Grant, Kukoc, Longley, Gasol, a guy like Josh Powell. Players who can shoot, who can pass, who are willing to take less shots and who can rebound, if you throw in Rodman. Both played the triangle, both could close out games. Long players, you know, just look at both teams. Not that deep of benches, only a few players who could score real big, not a very deep bench. Defensive minded teams, who love to play the break though. The full-court trap. Of course some things aren't able of being compared, but the overall look, it looks very simalar.
