Not disrespecting anyone here but.......Lebron is a great player.Kobe is one of the GREATEST players of all time. I def stack Kobe ahead of Lebron.I've been watching basketball for about 20 years now (been a Bulls fan the ENTIRE time), and my opinion is I believe Kobe is the 2nd greatest player to EVER play the game, behind Michael Jordan. The word "GREAT" or "GREATEST" isn't something that I usually just throw around out there, but I truely believe that Kobe is in that top knotch tier with MJ, though I still believe MJ's skill level was slightly above Kobe's.However, Lebron should not be thrown in to that category (yet, anyways).
This is not a case for Kobe. If we are talking about skills, then Kobe is the winner. If we are talking about the player with the biggest positive impact on his team, its LeBron.
Take LeBron off the Cavs and you got a group of scrubs. Take Kobe off the Lakers and you still have Bynum, Gasol and Odom.
LOL here is what America thinks of Kobe's performance...http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/fp/flashPollResultsState?sportIndex=frontpage&pollId=67140

I mean those Knicks sucks. Them Knicks were a good team. Obviously it's different. There are some 50 points performances by Kobe which are more impressing than some 60 ones too. But still... to make 61 points ain't easy, even against those Knicks. And it's impressive.
Jordan's performance will always be higher regarded because of the situation and Michael's aura during the time he played, but at the end of the day 62>55.
I was actually at the game on Monday, the atmosphere was fucking crazy. Based on the crowd reaction, it's obvious who the night belonged to at the Garden.
did NIK really just call the TV network that is almost as big a Kobe fan as he is BSPN?

Anyway, LeBron is not as skilled as Kobe, but his ability to put a team of guys who range from nobodies to decent role players is rivaled only by CP3. Kobe is easily one of the best to play the game ever, but I don't think he is the best in the current NBA. And stop the bullshit comparisons about Kobe being more of a legend. He's a 13 year vet and James has played roughly half of that. Kobe SHOULD be more of a legend right now. you're an idiot...Cavs have one of the best defensive teams in the league. that's WITHOUT LeBron. their defense is more vital to their success than LeBron is. Learn your basketball before you make an ass of yourself. "Kobe is not the best in the current NBA"...LMFAO.Take LeBron off the Cavs and you got a group of scrubs. Take Kobe off the Lakers and you still have Bynum, Gasol and Odom.Lakers would not make the playoffs without Kobe...Cavs have great D, they'd for sure be a playoff team in the East without LeBron. LOL@The Cavs being scrubs.PG Mo Williams=all-star level point guard, Daniel Gibson=great role player, spot-on shooterSG Delonte West=quality combo guard, great defender, Tarrence Kinsey=good back-up, former rookie of the monthSF Sasha Pavlovic=nice role player who can play both ends, Wally Szczerbiak=nice veteran back-up guard, scorerPF Ben Wallace=former defensive player of the year, JJ Hickson=quality rookieC Zydruna Ilgauskas=all-star caliber center, Andreson Varaejo=starting center on most other teamsyea....scrubs. If you can't get into the playoffs with a former all star(Odom), a current all star (Gasol) and a future all star (Bynum) then something is seriously wrong. Are you actually saying you would rather have Kobe surrounded by LeBron's supporting cast for your playoff roster? Be serious. The Cavs are nothing without LeBron, probably not even a playoff team. No team led by Mo Williams will ever win anything.
