Arenas says Kobe is better than LeBron and Wade

[Halu Sination]

Truthfully, it's hard to go at somebody who's the best player in the league. That's just like Dominique going at M.J. It's like, 'C'mon now, you know you're not even in his league.' So there's no point. Truthfully, there's no point....It's hard for me sometimes, when I hear LeBron or D-Wade [as] the No. 1 players in this league, and it's like they look past what [Kobe's] done, what A.I.'s done, because they're getting older. At the end of the day, until they're gone, until they're getting dominated, they're still the No. 1 and 2 players in this league.

Don't get mad get glad, people got tired of watching Kobe and Iverson, they want something new, that's why Wade gets the hype, who cares if Kobe is still better.

Lebron says Kobe is better than Lebron.

Gilbert always shows K.B. love. Which is another reason why I didn't like it when Kobe attacked him.

Wade's days are numbered. Trust me. That guy is very athletic, but has zero skills/fundamentals. All it's gonna take is one injury to take away that quick first step then what does he have to fall back on? Oh yeah I forgot, he's shooting a whopping 11% from the 3point line

Good looks don't hurt either. Him being on People Magazine's 50 most beautiful people (or something like that) definitely pushed his popularity.

People want new Icons of the league, that's just what it is. And it's not just about on-court stuff either.

[GangstaBoogy]

^no that's exactly what it's about. Otherwise you're pretty much saying Wade is better than Kobe because he's one of People Magazine's 50 most beautiful people.

It's not about whose the better basketball player, it's about why certain people chose to promote Wade more than Kobe.

Not a Lakers fan, but I think Kobe Bryant is the best player in the league.

I think everybody pretty much knows this by now...

Shit, the way Arenas has been playing I'll put him before James & Wade aswell..

usually people wanna see somethin new and EXCITING, not just new. wade is a boring as fuck compared to kobe or AI.

word, arenas is tearin shit up. its a lil scary watchin him (if ur rootin for his team at least) because he takes so many crazy shots, like that long ass 3-point game winner yesterday. but it also makes him one of the most exciting players to watch in the nba.

that winner was sick, he was walking away even before he knew he had hit the basket.

He's .283% and besides, shooting threes aren't his game.

Anything beyond the free-throw line isn't his game.
