3 full seasons in the NBA is a huge difference. I remember nik being one of those, lebron will flop. Now all he has is bringing up Kobe even though this has nothing to do with kobe.

Age? So is it the "thing" who makes LeBron better than Kobe? The fact that he scored the same points of Kobe being 3 years younger? Man please, be serious about it. Age is not the most important thing when you compare the stats and the careers of two players. The real difference is that LeBron plays for a wack team, where he was the best player since before he got drafted, while Kobe got acquired while nobody got the faith in him but West. He started being the sub of Eddie Jones. He started playing 15.5 minutes per game in the first year (just 6 times as a starter) and 26.0 minutes in the second year (1 time as a starter), not 39.5 minutes per game like Lebron (79 times out of 79 as a starter). He started when people didnt have respect for players who arrived in the NBA from the college (now it's all different, and college players are always n.1 draft picks). Plus he started in the most skilled team in the NBA, starting from the bench, growing, and winning 3 titles.
That's the real difference, not the age.

That's true, but I'm just saying the "age" thing becuase Lebron is doing things at the age of 19 that some can only dream of. Nik was being an ass and saying "Well, Kobe can do that!"..yea, it took Kobe 4 years to (when he first entered the league) score numbers liek Lebron...regardless of how good a team is, Kobe should've proven himself within those 3 years..but his 4th he finally started to pick things up (22 pts per game).
and look at this year
The top 3 players in this league as of now are..easily are
Garnett, Lebron, and Wade..they got great numbers in points/assists/blocks/steals and rebounds....whatever happen to Carmelo ;D?

LMAO...You're retarded...Kobe was better than LeBron was at age 19...He just wasn't on a shitty ass franchise that isn't even expected to make the playoffs...Kobe is easily the best player in the NBA, and the best player of the generation after Michael...LeBron is a good player, but he doesn't posses greatness and isn't near the same level as Kobe...PeACe
pappy:
how the fuck can you tell after not even a season and a half that lebron does not pocess the same greatness as kobe. and btw compare field goal % so far this season and lebron is shooting 10% better. And if you campare 2nd season lebron is shooting 9 % better than kobe did in his second season. But there is still a lot of ball to be played this season an lebrons shooting can go down to 391. a game. But than again im talking to nik, who said after one game how good the lakers were. And for the record im not saying Lebron is better than Kobe, b/c he has a long way to go before we can even compare the two on a level like that, but NIK get off the whole Kobe is a god tip.
