The player: The standard by which all other players are measured.
定性：衡量所有其他球员的标准。
AirJordan was the most skilled, most athletic, toughest, meanest, mostinspirational and most competitive of all the shooting guards who haveever played the game. He dominated both ends of the floor. He also wasthe biggest winner and perhaps the greatest clutch player in history.
Thecredentials -- and pictures -- speak for themselves: six championshiprings, five MVP awards, six Finals MVP awards, one defensive POY award.And his career numbers were otherworldly, most notably 32,292 points(third all time) and a 30.1 points per game scoring average (first).Oh, and he averaged 20 points and six rebounds as a 40-year-old! Onlyhis last two seasons in Washington kept him from shooting more than 50percent for his career.
Jordan had no realweaknesses; he mastered every facet of the game. He dominated a bigman's game and was the leader of the only dynasty in NBA history thatdid not feature a dominant center.
Ontop of all that, he helped make the NBA a global game. From histrademark tongue wag to his game-winning shot in the 1998 NBA Finals,MJ was the most electrifying player to ever step on a court.
Theplayer: As close as it gets to MJ. Still just 29, his legacy is yet tobe written. But his credentials already are legit, starting with thethree rings he won while teamed with Shaq.
LikeJordan, Bryant does everything well. He can carry a team offensivelyfor long stretches, defend the other team's best player, hit outsideshots, create for others, slash to the rim, excel in transition and winplayoff games.
He is the prototypical shooting guard, with a killer instinct and nearly unlimited range on his shot. And he's getting better.
他是最为正统的得分后卫，有着杀手的本能，能在任何位置出手命中。重要的是，他正在变得越来越好。
Consideredby many to be the best all-around player in the NBA today, Bryant hasat least a glimmer of hope of challenging Jordan for the top spotbefore it's all said and done.

Theplayer: One of the toughest and most competitive players ever, therewas nothing he couldn't do with the ball in his hands -- he coulddrive, make plays and shoot with range.
