Doc Rivers made a comment after the first game in LA regarding the "phantom" fouls that seemed to be plaguing Paul Pierce, and how Pierce was handling them. I goes to show you just how grounded the Celtics are as a team when the coach doesn't let his players let their emotions get the best of them. Instead of having a 10 second tantrum with their arms flailing, trying to draw attention to themselves, they give a normal reaction of about 2 seconds and then get back to the game. Have you noticed that Kobe seems to think that ALL foul calls should go his way? Maybe if he did follow his own advice and "down a glass of wine, a bottle of beer and a few shots" he might come down to this little place we call "Earth".
As for any comparison between him and Michael Jordan, it would be that they both ALWAYS wanted the ball with the game on the line. The only difference is that Jordan knew what he was doing.
