Who is better, Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan? Though this question has been debated endlessly in the world of sports, no definite answer is in sight. The reason for this is, it cannot be subjected to scientific experimentation like other questions can, e.g. is healthy lettuce or poison better for dwarf rabbits. Dwarf rabbits are the third most popular pet in the United States, behind cats and dogs. Some dogs are better than others; this certainly is subjective opinion in many circumstances, but if we ask, "Better at what?", then we can certainly attain the objectivity necessary to act as rational judges in such scenarios.

For example, "German Shepherds are better police dogs than most teacup breeds, e.g. the Yorkshire terrier." A teacup Yorkshire terrier fits in a teacup, ergo it is not a better police dog than a German Shepherd, for apprehending heavy criminals. There may be cases where the police have to get a handcuff key (e.g.) out of a little hole and their fingers are too big, and in those cases a Yorkshire terrier might be the best police dog, if it was trained to retrieve handcuff keys, bullets, pubic hairs, clues, etc. etc. etc. etc. Or it could find where a drug dealer had deposited a little tab of an illegal drug in a secret tiny hole, but if it ate any of the drug it would die, so you have to think outside the box, scientifically as well as emotionally.

Something everyone can agree on is that the debate over Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan cannot be entirely divested of its emotional habiliments. Great emotions come into play here, just as they do regarding other great questions appertaining to life. If we aren't careful in this arena, powerful emotions will box us out and we'll have no chance of contributing to the contest.

This is why dwarf rabbits are so popular in the U.S., at least theoretically, because people get very emotional about really small rabbits. Therefore even if they're a rancher and what they need is a big powerful dog to rein in the cattle, emotion may win out over reason and the next thing the rancher knows is that his cattle are missing because he never bought a giant hound. And then, negatively, emotion may win out over reason yet again when the rancher beats the dwarf rabbit against the heavy timbers of the wide front porch in a psychotic rage. Everyone should be careful in these types of scenarios, especially as regards sports heroes.
