oh, and jordan made/makes a lot more money overall. nobody will buy kobe's shoe (if he still has one) after he retires. and if you think lebron's shoe (does he even have clothes?) is hotter than any pair of j's, you're an idiot.

I'd pass to Jordan too but talking about who makes more money is irrelevant here. Nike built an empire around Jordan and made him and his brand (Jumpman) legendary. Jordan was extremely marketable and although he's retired, kids nowadays still buy it even though they haven't even seen him play once. Its a brand, a great fucking brand. Sort of like how Nike is with Tiger. Rory might turn out to be a better golfer but his name/brand will never surpass Tiger's.
Will Kobe or Lebron ever have such brand image? I doubt it but this discussion is about playing ability and my vote is for LeBron for all round greatness.
