No, the problem with my anology is that MJ made Pippen a Top 50 Player while Kobe isn't even able to make Lamar an All Star. Dirk managed to have a group of complete scrubs - none of them even close to being ready for the NBA - competing for the World Championships in 2002. All on his own. Germany finished 3rd with Dirk being the only NBA player on the roster. The US finished 6th with Finley, JONeal, Brand, Ben Wallace, Marion, Pierce and Baron Davis. Kobe isn't even able to make the playoffs with Lamar on his roster.
