Thats not even remotely debateable imo. MJ was CLEARLY better physically: he was the better athlete, quicker, and stronger, & better instincts. there's no aspect of Kobe's physical talent that matches or surpasses MJ.

Also MJ was the best athlete in the league almost throughout his entire career. (You can make a case for Nique being just as good, but injuries kinda slowed him a bit)

Kobe on the other hand has NEVER been the best athlete. At best, he's considered a top 5 athlete, but thats as far as he goes: Several others best him continually in that category
