He just didn't have anywhere near the same level of want and willpower to be the best.

I think jordan was much, much quicker. Vince's agility though is very much like kobe's, but with insane hops. I have to give Kobe some credit because I think Carter, McGrady, Iverson, and pre-injury Grant Hill were all more athletic than him, whereas Jordan was completely peerless athletically in his time, much like Lebron now.
