I strongly disagree with your characterization. MJ has even said he wasn't sure who'd win him vs. Kobe.
There is plenty of debate. Don't forget the league-wide diluting effects of the '89 and '95 expansion drafts, something I neglected to mention. People really do underestimate how less competitive Jordan's era was than today (but many fans do get it).
I'm a longtime NBA fan, and I follow basketball news regularly + compete in bball fantasy leagues.
And no, Kobe and LBJ are not assholes on Jordan's level. Jordan is notorious for being an asshole, unlike the former two.
