its subjective zit. you can make a case either way. when all is said and done both will be hall of famers, top 10 players, etc.
right now, 2009, if im in game 7 and i can pick one its kobe no question in my opinion.
kobe getting older though. lebron the future.
Um... I'm not even necessarily comparing Kobe and LeBron.
The guy said Kobe was #2 ALL TIME, second to MJ.
It shows an AMAZING lack of knowledge of basketball history. He's
sweeping aside (while saying discussion over):
Bill Russell
Larry Bird
Magic Johnson
Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Wilt Chamberlain
and on and on
Besides, like I already said two times, Kobe is not even the best
player in the NBA right now.
You say it's open for discussion? Apparently not to the sports writers
and MVP voters, it was LeBron in a total fucking landslide.
LeBron 109 first place votes, Kobe... 2. ROFL. Hell, Dwyane Wade
had more 1st place votes than Kobe bitch boy.
