Lol at these kids. When will they learn?
'The Pioneer Leader of Post Jordan' LeBron James (Cleveland) visited Korea to participate in 'Vita500 World Basketball Challenge 2006 and to meet with his fans.
On August 12th, James was at 'LeBron James Court' donating event in Whee-mun High School of Samsung-dong in Seoul. "I'm happy to see that the students are very pleased," said James. He greeted the fans by saying that he hopes that the students gain inspiration through basketball.
Furthermore, he mentioned that "Basketball is the world's greatest sports. I hope that the teenagers will attempt to play and learn the passion from me. Moreover, I find worth living by giving it out to the community. I know very much about the life of high school students, because I recently have graduated not too long ago. I wanted to give the opportunities for them to play basketball." Thus the reason why he donated a basketball court to Whee-mun High School
Last season, James averaged 31.4 points per game. It was a surprising stats for NBA 3-years new-coming player, but he had given the title of best scoring player to Kobe Bryant (LA Lakers), whom averaged 35.4 points per game. They're the rivals whom will meet at the superior levels for years to come.
James said "Kobe has the scoring powers and wills to score anywhere on the court. Since both Kobe and I have the wills to win, it's very fun to play games with him. But I'm inherited to lead and also born with the leadership. That is my greatest advantage compared to Kobe."
James said he respects Michael Jordan the most. "Since my childhood, I respected Jordan and he is the player that everyone has to love," said James. At press conference in Coex Intercontinental Hotel on the 12th, James said "I feel overflowing just being compared to great player like Jordan."
James participated as a member of the "Dream Team" in Athens Olympic of 2004, but Team USA have only scored a bronze model. Regarding this statement, he said "I was a rookie at that time and had no experience. But for this event, the wills to win are superior. Fellow players such as Dwayne Wade and Carmelo Anthony are also full with passions."
At 'LeBron James Court' donating event, Team USA members, Joe Johnson (Atlanta) and Chris Paul (New Orleans) have participated too. James and Paul created a fantastic slam dunk to give a wonderful and unforgettable memories to Korean fans.

It is good to be confident, but I wouldnt of said that if I was LJ.

Awesome to hear something cocky from that nigga, I was getting sick of all that Kobe-praising recently. LeBron has easily better court vision and sicker passing abilities. If that's what he's referring to, he's right...

Laker fans will explode in 3...2...1...

Lol
Kobe really isnt that strong of a leader, however Lebron shouldnt be saying this at his stage of carreer yet.
-
^^Kobe is a better leader than you are giving him credit for lol, he sets the tone defensively also, he is a great player and a good leader.
-
Im sure this has been said here before but Kobe is The Lakers. Now if Kobe was on a different team and if it was just the players the Lakers got besides him, would The Lakers have made the playoffs last year?
-
lol what a fucking dumbass....He only knows how to lead teams to Bronze Medals while Kobe Leads Teams to championships 8)
-
LeBron never said that, this was a very poorly translated article from overseas that was shot down quickly...LeBron clearly isn't even close to Kobe status leadership-wise...Leadership is what Team USA needed, what LeBron COULDNT provide...When 2008 rolls along, Kobe will finally save and lead USA to its past glory once again...PeACe

lol what a fucking dumbass....He only knows how to lead teams to Bronze Medals while Kobe Shaq Leads Teams to championships 8)
its a fact.
-
^^ yeah alright Shaq lead Miami to the title.. everyone knows that :-X
-
lol what a fucking dumbass....He only knows how to lead teams to Bronze Medals while Kobe Shaq Leads Teams to championships 8)
its a fact.
LMAO...After the first championship, Shaq got lazy/fat and Kobe carried him on his back, THAT'S a fact...Another fact is that this bullshit article was written before LeBron "lead" his team to the bronze medal (for the 2nd time)...Trust me, LeBron did NOT say those exact words.
-
^what did he say then?

...Also, the fact that it sounds nothing like something LeBron would say and it's from a Korean newspaper...But who knows, maybe he did fall into his own hype. After all, this is the same dude who has "The Chosen One" tatted on his back and at a post-game press conference once said he didn’t need to add anything to his game because it’s so complete, that all he needed to do was "fine tune" it... He has a lot of growing to do, especially if the Korean article is not bullshit...PeACe

Yeah he did say Kobe was the best...a few months ago. But he did just spend a whole summer with the King of the Free-Throw line. So who knows. I still don't see any real proof that he didn't say it, just a bunch of people saying 'it doesn't sound like something he'd say'.

Well, if he said it, it was a pretty dumb comment to make, I thought he was smarter than that...

Better leadership than Kobe? This cat folds under pressure.
