Your "question" was so wrong on so many levels that it doesn't deserve a decent answer, but I'll try to provide one anyway.
First off, you say Michael Jordan was overrated (which might be the only thing you got right), but then you go on to claim that Kobe is the greatest. Sounds to me that, if Jordan's overrated, you're even further overrating Kobe.
Next, and this is the most wrong thing you entered, you claim that Scottie Pippen was better than Michael. That might be true if you were comparing his basketball abilities to Michael Flatley's basketball abilities, but I highly doubt you'd confuse the Lord of the Dance with the greatest #23 in NBA history.
Your follow-up is a claim that somebody you know by the name of Pat Burke is bigger than Michael. In terms of physical size, that may or may not be true, as I don't know who Burke is, but in terms of basketball ability, Michael Jordan is light years ahead of Burke. If I knew Burke for his basketball abilities, I might feel differently, but all I know about him (if not for your use of "lad", I wouldn't even know if Pat Burke is male or female) is his name.
After all that, you conclude by repeating the claim that makes Kobe more overrated than Jordan. If Kobe really was the greatest ever, he wouldn't have needed Shaquille O'Neal for those 3 rings. If Kobe didn't need Shaq for those rings, Kobe would be the one with that fourth ring, so where is it? Oh that's right. Shaq has it, with assistance from Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat.
If Kobe's really the greatest ever, he'd be doing more with the Lakers than LeBron James is doing with Cleveland, so why are the Lakers out of the playoffs while Cleveland's one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals?
I could go on and on and on, but I choose to conclude that Michael Jordan won 6 championships with Bulls teams similar to the Lakers team Kobe couldn't get out of the first round of this year's playoffs.
The truth hurts, doesn't it.

I disagree with EVERYTHING you said. And if your lad, Pat Burke, had stumbled onto an NBA court during Michael Jordan's reign, Pat would've gotten dunked on too.

Bottomline: Jordan 6 Championships, Kobe 3 Championships. Who is Better? You are probally a smart person, you will figure this out.

Get real. The only reason why Kobe's stats are up is because the Lakers have no one else on their team is any good.

Jordan wasn't good and Bryant is the greatest ever, eh?
Don't make me laugh myself into a coma because of that statement.

Wow. I actually hated MJ growing up, and even then I can say that you are just ridiculous. MJ was one of the best of all time. While I don't think he was THE best ever, he is definitely one of the top 10 players in NBA history. Please don't ever talk again, not if you can't say anything intelligent.

a lot of you people do not understand that basketball is a team sport, no individual player can claim that he alone achieved his fame by himself. even if your a 100% shooter but your teammates will not rebound or defend or pass the ball to you or your coach just put you on the bench, then what can you achieve?

I will give you one thing, that individual stars ARE being overrated, for a game that is a team game.
Your question is just funny.
