So if Kobe Would Have Gotten Traded To The Bulls How Would His Legacy Look?

Less rings. Chicago was like a lottery team back then, I think they got the number 1 pick in 08'. Would have taken him a while to build a contender and capture that magic again, if he ever did...Short answer is " much less impressive". We can't separate how much his longevity with one team and his perceived ability to "stay with a team" and make them a champion factors into where he is placed in the pantheon of basketball history. We may look at him like a Pippen rather than a poor man's Jordan. In other words a great second fiddle who "bounced around" and was never the same after his #1 left.

Bulls were a playoff team back then.......

Missed the playoffs in that one year though......

The back of his jersey would have said MJ 2.0

They would've stopped being a playoff team after they traded half their roster for Kobe
