Take in mind Lebron James is averaging 31.7pts 7.2rbs 6.8as\nOr carmelo anthony who is barely averaging 27pts 6rbs and 3as but has made countless buzzerbeater shots...while james has only made 1 this season..

Lebron James no question! He's the best offensive player to ever play already. (offense meaning more than just scoring he has good assist and rebound numbers)He takes so much pressure off of his team mates the way defenses key on him. Carmelo is just a scorer. Once Lebron starts playing D it will be amazing.

Lebron is bigger, a better rebounder and a better passer.\n\nJordan was a more explosive scorer, a much better defender, and had the killer instinct which now only appears to be emerging with LeBron.\n\nLeBron is better than Jordan when compared to their progression based on age, but LeBron has yet to achieve the peaks in basketball (as gauged by championships and individual play) that Jordan did.  Keyword there being yet...\n\nScottie's commentary should be ignored, he was and continues to be jealous of Jordan's greatness and celebrity.  Anyone who ever watched scottie in a playoff game against the knicks knows that he was one of the most over-rated players in NBA history.

Lebron all the way.\n\nWhen you compare Lebron with jrodan the numbers are very similiar. There is a difference though Lebron is 20 years old.

i think that both players are different in their own way. kidd is more of a do-it-all point guard who doesnt score as much, but also rebounds, assists, and play defense. \nnash on the other hand is a pure point guard; he has the "pass first, shoot second" mentality, yet is highly effective in taking any shot. a clutch shooter when he needs to be but also makes his team mates around him better.\ni think that kidd can be more compared to magic johnson while nash to john stockton, in which case they would both lose badly. even though im a huge nash fan, statistics will show you that at their prime, jason kidd is far more superior.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but Lebron will never be MJ\n\nA. He's not nearly as clutch as MJ (3-17) in potential game winning or game tying shots\n\nB. He won't win 6 titles.\n\n\n\nAnd Lebron won't win the MVP because a player on the best team always wins the MVP, and the cavs are not the best team. Sad yes, but it works that way.

mcgrady is my favorite player, lebron is my second favorite, but i would have to say lebron is the best overall player in the NBA right now. he can make great passes. make steals and block shots. he can drive to the hoop anytime he wants because of his power and can hit a nice range shot. plus he is soooooo fun to watch because of his dunks. he also averages around 25-7-7. so lebron is the best. no, i seriously doubt that lebron will ever win a championship, ilgauskas is good, but not good enough to help lebron james carry the cavs to become a NBA championship calibur team. larry hughs has medical problems and probably will not be able to play for the remainder of this season and after he returns from his injuries, he still will not be as good of a player as he was when he was in washington with the wizards. drew gooden is a very inconsistant player and will not be able to contribute much to his team against all the good power forwards in the game today. such as kevin garnett, and tim duncan.

Real simple.  Kobe can do anything on the offensive end as well if not better than LeBron, yet he plays FAR better defensively than LeBron.  Comparing them currently is easy, Kobe is a better player.  LeBron is a better player at this stage than Kobe was at the same age though.  LeBron has the potential to be as good and maybe a little better than Kobe, but not until he learns how to play defense and then put forth the same effort at both ends.

Lakers...Kobe is on fire, he will lead his team to victory with at least 40 points. LeBron will make it close, but no cigar.

Kobe is BETTER then michael jordan, maybe not in stats but if you play michael jordan in his best season and kobe in his, Kobe would win the game.... People say kobe is a ball hog and the reason for that is his teammates cant score, michael was also a ballhog....  also kobe wasnt born with basketball skills he had to work through it lebron and jordan were. Kobe worked hard to become as good as he is.. Also if lebron has shaq right now he wouldnt be avering these numbers. Kobe had shaq when shaq was at his bestt!!!

lebron is better than kobe because all kobe knows how to do is shoot the ball lebron knows how to shoot the ball pass the ball and rebound the ball thats what makes lebron a total package lebron is 6'8 really quick and real strong. Kobe may be a better shooter but lebron is a petter all around player

Peja is one of the best 3-point shooters in the league.\n\nI can't say the same about big Z.  Lebron won't let him shine.\n\nEven though they are different players, Peja is your man.

LeBron is the best. he is the future for the NBA. unlike all the other players that have been player for a long time. he is young and new to the NBA. he will get better and better as the years go by. He will always be #1 for the rest of his career!

Kobe is better. Lebron is great though. I would take Kobe because you wouldn't need too many more pieces to compete for a championship. Kobe isn't a ball hog people are brain dead. Jordan averaged 37 one season and 35 another. Kobe averaged 35. No player ball hog or not could score that much wuthout superior basketball skill. People forget to score that much you actually have to get open shots, and score all the time despite being double teamed. That's why Michael Jordan, Barkley, and Pippen have all said Kobe is the best in the leauge right now to say otherwise is ridiculous!

Look. . . LeBron will never compare to Kobe. Yes, LeBron is the biggest name in the NBA but that doesnt mean shit! I remember a couple of years ago when the Lakers lost to the Spurs in the playoffs and Kobe cried at the end of the game. He loves it. Its his life. LeBron lost and shruged it off! ! ! I dont get it? People say , "Well, LeBron isnt on a  good team" What the hell are you talking about?!?!?! Who is Larry Hughes? Who is Zydrunas Ilgauskas? Both these guys are former all stars playing with on of the better players in the league. So ur telling me Kobe can dominate the game running with Lamar Odom and Kwame Brown? Kobe is better hands down!

James and Wade are the hottest players  around and after the Miami heat winning a championship, i think Wade has a hairline lead on James(although James has more endorsements).. Talent-wise James can play 123 and if he chooses he can also play 4.. Scoring,assists,rebounds and a little weak on defense.. Similar to Wade but Lebron has the height which is a problem on Wade since he has top risk injuries all the time by driving the lane so much because he cant shoot over opponents..No need to say they are one of the hottest superstars right now..\n\nBUT...\n\nKobe has been a superstar in the NBA for ten years, he has battled MJ and the best of the NBA has to offer.. He can definitely score anywhere on the court and anyhow, too bad he doesnt have good teammates to get a pile of assists but somehow makes up by eagerly guarding the other teams best player because he is also a very good defender.. \n\nAnd he has 3 rings..

LeBron is the complete player, and as evidenced in the Cavs-Wizards series, he has clutch shooting. He's also plays the smartest game of basketball I've seen; he's basically his own coach. His defense is solid, but he needs to work to at least get on the All-Defensive NBA 2nd team.\n\nThe Cavs didn't make the playoffs because they're an incomplete team. LeBron is not the next Michael Jordan, he's the next Magic Johnson. He needs a James Worthy, not a Scottie Pippen. Anyone who looks at tape and Magic's stats for his first three seasons can see the similarities of their games. Jordan was Defensive Player of the year once and made the All-Defense 1st team nine times. LeBron's never going to do that because he's not a natural defender.
