WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sorry, Kobe. President Barack Obama was asked straight out on Thursday: Kobe or Michael?As in, who's the best? Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant, a four-time NBA champion? Or the basketball legend to whom he is most often compared, Michael Jordan, who retired as a six-time champ with the Chicago Bulls and is widely regarded as the best player of all time?"Oh, Michael," Obama answered in an interview with The Associated Press."I mean, Kobe's terrific. Don't get me wrong," Obama said. "But I haven't seen anybody match up with Jordan yet."Obama, a basketball fan who hails from Chicago, is certainly no Lakers hater.He picked Bryant's team to defeat the Orlando Magic in the finals this year, and he was right.

Definitely wiser than srtfinest.

This conversation is going to get interesting soon. I have no doubts Kobe will reach at least 6 rings before he retires.

I'm glad Obama didn't sugarcoat it, he just said MJ straight up.

Even if he ended up with 8 titles, he wouldnt be the better player. Its far too late for that

Hes surpassed Big O and Bird. Magic is historically good but sometimes I think hes overrated, he wasnt a dominant defender like the guys I rank ahead of him.
