That is lebrons biggest weakness he is horrible. Kobe has a lot better D. Kobe is the best right now and the best there ever was and will be...... by the way Lebrons D is horrible

LeBron not a pretty sight on defense. He's focused on putting points on the board and couldn't give a hoot about stopping anyone from doing likewise.

The best is definitely Kobe.  Lebron is up there but Kobe is an amazing player that can do anything.  He can shoot from anywhere, has the craziest dunks.  His defense is a lockdown type.  He is just hitting his prime too.  I can't wait to see what Lebron turns into but Kobe is amazing.\n\nHere are the 5\n\nPG - Steve Nash.  He sees the court like no other.  I think his soccer background helps him out a lot.  He made Marion be the player he needed to be without Stoudemire.\n\nSG - Kobe Bryant.  If you read above you'll see why.\n\nSF - Lebron James - A freak of nature.  The dude is 21 and a superstar on the rise.  Possibly top 10 of all time when his career is done.\n\nPF - Elton Brand - He has developed into a premier power forward.  He can do it all.  He is a beast in the paint and his team would be nothing without him.  Ask me this question in like 2 years and without a doubt my choice for PF will be Dwight Howard.  I can't wait to see him dominate.\n\nC - Shaquille O'Neal - When he is on the court its a different game.  He may not score like he used to but just his presence makes teams play a different style.  Sure he is on his way out but he can still win a championship.

Maybe, maybe not...I just think Lebron has more to ijmprove on like his jump shot.for me it's still not perfect. You can't slash to the basket everytime so you got to have versatility in your game. Well for me Lebron will not put the same number in the era of Jordan. A lot of players that played that era have retired when Lebron came into the picture. He will be left out iof that happened...Not even enter the playoffs

thats true no one has nuttin on kobe \nkobe is the best \nn people who say jordan tops kobe not true \nis jordan even playin??....FUK NO he isnt \nkobe n lakers number 1
572756
No. Just cuz he has a ring doesn't mean hes the best.... Lebron is an overall better player still and kobe is close if not better than Dwayne.

The Lakers are definitely a better TEAM because of his reduced avg shots per game.  I believe the TEAM is better because of his, Kwame and Chris Mihms early season injuries.  It has given TEAM members like Andrew Bynum, Vladimir Radmanovic, Ronny Turiaf, Luke Walton, Jordan Farmar, Smush Parker, Maurice Evans, and the sometimes under appreciated Lamar Odom to gain confidence in their respective games.  The true test for the Lakers is when Kobe is at 100% can the TEAM exist with Kobe??  If they can.........can you say Dark horse from the west???

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

According to these stats that factor in alot more than just points, rebounds, and assists LeBron is the better player:\nLeBron- http://www.82games.com/0506/0506CLE.HTM\nKobe- http://www.82games.com/0607/0607LAL.HTM\n\nand if you want to compare the best player factoring the amount of money they make LeBron is winning that category as well\nhttp://www.82games.com/0506/fairsalary.htm\n\nSorry.  I trust the facts.  LeBron is better and hasnt even reached his peak of talent yet.... and that's scary

Yeah, he has the best hands, if your talking about calling a timeout when you don't have any left.  LeBron is a million times better at handling the ball than him already.

Becase Dwyane has better players on his team \n\nbut I think dwayne is just as valuble as lebron
288758
Of course! Unlike Kobe, he is a team player. I am also a huge Cavs fan and I think LeBron is amazing for being only a 3rd year player

Pure skill does not exist in a vacuum. Michael Jordan was a team player, an important intangible not covered by statistics. Kobe might have some moves, but he is abrasive and tactless.

Everyone who answered this is focusing on the offensive end. On offense Kobe is better because he can pull up for 3, midrange J or take you to the whole to get fouled, score, or dunk on someone. Wade has to drive that much because his Jumpshot is unreliable. This being said, Kobe is a MUCH BETTER man defender. Wade gets a lot of steals playing the passing lanes, but he has not shown he can shut someone down, NOT AT ALL. Kobe has been on the NBA's all defensive first and second team many times. Kobe is the best individual player on BOTH ENDS of the court. And just wait, so far this year Kobe's teammates are shooting well and playing with more confidence, this way Kobe will show he is a better team player than people give him credit for, and also, not having to score 35 points a game will let him spend more energy on D. Kobe is better all around, and still improving his game.

Well put Sonic.  Both teams will play well the rest of the way, and I think that the Cavs will pull it out.  LeBron is the future of the NBA, and Kobe's not really old, either, he's not going anywhere for ten years.  But no one will get passed the Pistons, so forget about it.

If were going for the future I would go with Lebron James. He is the second best player behind Kobe. He is only 22 and was already second in votes for MVP. Make it to the second round and almost knock off the pistons. Great ball handler, defender, driving, clutch shooting. I think the only thing that is not amazing is shooting although he has improved greatly since last season but now he shoots like Iverson sometimes he is on sometimes hes off but the thing he does great is when he is not shooting well he will get to the basket and get a layup or dunk and when thats not goin down he will pass it around and get his team into it.

they prob. are retarded, the only reason why people dont wanna say kobe is the best is cuzz of all the scandal around him. Jordan was the embodiment of an athlete
