YEA..... Lebron Is Much Better
Chamillitary Click:
Since NIK is obsessed with the "if" argument; "if Kobe did this", "Kobe could do that", I'll bust one out myself & say "IF" the Cavs had Gasol & the Lakers had Jamison, both players "would" play the same way & the Cavs "would" win.
Sccit:
^you're simply braindead if you think Gasol could be half as effective as he is in the Cavs offense.

At this point, even though lebron has better physical tools, its pretty hard to argue against Kobe> Lebron since Kobe has led his team to two straight chips.
However, its also pretty hard to argue against MJ>Kobe, considering MJ was 6 for 6 in titles, won 6 finals MVPs, averaged more points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, AND played in an era where there was no handchecking called. Furthermore, post players were bigger, and were allowed to stand in the key as long as they wanted on defense.

Lets also not forget that MJ was also in an era with way less athleticism, where zone defense didn't exist, where the game was much slower, and where he never won over a defense like the Boston Celtics of this year...I mean, MJ's biggest competition on the perimeter was an aging Clyde Drexler LOL....as for the stats, MJ also averaged way more field goal and free throw ATTEMPTS than Kobe, so lets throw stats out this argument once and for all, because LeBron averages more rebounds, assists, and blocks on his career than MJ, and even has a better 3 point fg percentage, as well! :-X. To say Kobe doesn't have a chance based on that is not only wrong, but a slap in the face to true basketball purists.......so lets sit tight and wait for the final outcome.

Pistons defense was brutal and physical, so was the Knicks. The Celtics are old as shit and their best defensive post player didn't even finish the series this year. They WERE great in 2008 though
Exactly, lets sit and wait. Props on that.
DidMJ really average more FG attempts than Kobe? Even if this is the case, his FG percentage is much better.
Throw stats out the window and its gonna be REALLY hard for Kobe to catch MJ; in fact, the STAT that many Kobe fans often use is that he scored 81 in a game...like this alone could mean he is better than MJ ::)
