<p>He is one of the top 2 ;p! There is always a close rival though. As with Kobe and Lebron, there are laker and vintij :).</p>

<p>Only time will tell who is the best basketball player…and corresponding ■■■■■.</p>

<p>Seriously though, my money’s on Lebron. Dude’s a beast!</p>

<p>Dang this thread moves too fast! I go to sleep and its moved 5 pages already!
I like Lebron too :slight_smile: Though Kobe’s my favorite</p>

<p>Emil knows what he’s talking about! But seriously lol, there is no way Kobe is better than LeBron…260 pounds of thrust vs 200? Kobe may send you to the locker room but LeBron would put you in the hospital. Cavs will win this year, and I think that’s a safe bet. Lakers just haven’t performed at their best this year, imagine what Kobe’s PMS will be like in the playoffs towards his teammates. I would not want to be around.</p>

<p>If I had to build a team around one player, there are only 3 guys I would choose. Lebron, Kevin Durant, and Dwight Howard. Kobe is arguably the best player in the NBA. But his time is up. I’m not happy that the Lakers just extended him today for $30+ million per year. I would have given him maybe $22-25. But at the end of the day, Kobe will have 5-7 rings at the end of his career. How many will Lebron have? Two at the most. He’s ditching cleveland after they lose this year. The Lakers should have gone after Lebron this summer instead of paying $30+ million to Kobe. Even though Cle would have the Larry Bird Rights to Lebron, he could still have signed with the lakers and get way more money from endorsements in LA.</p>

<p>Kobe has proven everything, and Lebron has proven nothing.</p>

<p>Kobe has experience, and to say that he is not a leader is a totally false and baseless argument. He has led the Lakers to many championships. He’s certainly a great leader.</p>

<p>Lebron may indeed become better than Kobe one day, but he has not won even one ring. So as far as I’m concerned, he is all hype until he proves that he can lead a team to a championship. </p>

<p>Just have a look at all the game-winners Kobe has scored in the past few months alone. I think there were four just in December, January, and February. </p>

<p>Don’t take this too personally, but a lot of people just love to hate on Kobe even though he has demonstrated his abilities over and over. People also call him a ball hog, but he knows the game and he knows that sometimes his team looks to him to make the big plays instead of passing the ball.</p>

<p>Source: me watching the Lakers and listening to ESPN commentary since I was 12 years old. And I can argue for Kobe all day, and there are thousands of Youtube videos which will back up my claims.</p>

687

<p>Oh, I’d like to share this. This was one of his game winners a couple months ago</p>

<p>@ brazilbrasil: I understand all your points but don’t really agree with them. Coincidentally, I too have been watching since I was 12 lol and have been a fan since then, except this year I’m no longer one (since I’ve had some changes in how I approach life in general). </p>

<p>Anyway, as to your points: </p>

<p>

Yes, Kobe has proven that he’s a leader, but this is only because Shaq departed and because everyone on the Lakers save for Fisher is younger than Kobe. Has he been a good leader? No, not according to Phil Jackson nor his teammates, especially Jordan Farmar, as evidenced by [this</a> clip](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf5bf3kfL5A]this”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf5bf3kfL5A). Also, in the USA Olympics Basketball team, the roles of leadership went to Carmelo, Dwayne, and LeBron. Kobe wasn’t even considered as a choice by the coaches. You’ve gotta ask yourself why. </p>

<p>

You are indeed right about this. It’s very likely though that LeBron and the Cavs will triumph this year. And, in any case, Kobe has only won one ring by himself; the three rings during the 3-peat arguably were mostly made possible by dominance and leadership of Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq was the captain --not Kobe-- and was always the last to be announced in the starting line-ups.

You can’t say that! LeBron is the reigning league MVP, and trumps Kobe in stats this year–as well last. The King won the league’s MVP in just his fifth year; as far as the statistics show, Kobe took five years just to become a star. If you juxtapose the two players, LeBron has beaten every single one of Kobe’s records for “youngest NBA player to achieve x” award, and will undoubtedly have scored more points after both have retired. This can’t be disputed, lol. </p>

<p>

Kobe may currently be more “clutch” than LeBron. But you have to consider the fact that LeBron’s team is almost never in these kinds of last-second situations because they’re so dominant. Thanks to LeBron, they clobber every team by at least seven points every single game. The margin is often larger. </p>

<p>

I agree, but I do not “hate” Kobe for that reason. He is an overt ball-hog and thinks so lowly of his teammates. He is a narcissist and everything but a team player–see Phil Jackson’s personal narrative. Team chemistry is integral to success; LeBron can facilitate that team chemistry, whereas Kobe, with his attitude, doesn’t even have that as one of his goals. His goals are to be #1 as an individual and to win a championship for himself.</p>

<p>Lastly, many may not notice this on the screen, but how often do you see Kobe smiling? Almost never, lol, and you would think 30 million could buy you some dimples. He blows off his teammates while walking to and on the bench. LeBron on the other hand joyfully dances with his teammates; you can just tell he’s a much better leader.</p>

<p>Post-edit: Sorry Jane and others, basketball-talk can break for now :)</p>
