It is lebron James.  Kobe Bryant is the highest scorer, but is a huge ball hog.  I am a kobe fan but lebron is an all round better player. Lebron averages 7 rebounds and 6.6 assist per game and about 32 points per game.  Kobe does not averge close to that many assists or rebounds.  Also, you have to look at which player led his team to victory and the playoffs.  They are both in but the cavs (lebron james's team) is in better shape than the lakers.  To top all of this off Lebron James just had a triple double in his first career playoff game.

MJ is a legend, Kobe is working on his legacy.  Both are awesome players and great people.  Who's better?  I think they're both awesome.

i would have to say kobe because he has more experience he can shoot the outside J and he carries his team through the whole thing. oh yeah and didnt u see his 81 pts against toronto

I think Kobe becuz the Lakers are a better team now with all the young players such as Turiaf, Bynum, Walton and Kobe has more confidence in his teammates now so he will be more of a team player and thats why Steve Nash won it again last year cuz he was a team player and Kobe wasnt he just scored himself but this year Kobe is gonna score and be a team player and Lebron wont cuz Lebron is doing it all him self like last night with the Spurs it was all Lebron and i think Lebron is gonna be just like what Kobe was last year so i think Kobes got it

LeBron James no doubt he passes way more than kobe and is not selfish

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!!!

Cavs are okay. Best player is probably Lebron or Kobe, I'm leaning Kobe, because he's more proven to lead his team. MVP? Should be Kobe, because without him they would probably be in last place in the Western Conference.

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.

Kobe....better shooter, taller (6'7' vs 6'0) and could take Iverson inside all day... Frankly, I don't think it would be close...

Last time i checked LeBron didnt win first team all defense? LeBron is a great player dont get me wrong but he doesnt have that killer instict. Kobe is  . . .  a monster! Ask Brad Miller, Reggie Miller, Raja Bell and Ray Allen. Your telling me LeBron is better than Kobe offensively? What a joke! ! ! Everytime Kobe has the ball you know he's going to shot! Its not that he's a ball hog but becuase he has to! What is he going to pass it to Smush on the wing. Or alley-op it to Chris Mihm? Think about it!

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.

Def Lebron James. The only reason Wade has a championship ring and James doesn't is because he has a better supporting cast.\nAnd to 3R2QRFW E are you telling me that Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Larry Bird, Manu Ginobli, Keith Vanhorn, Doug Christi, or Mike Bibby can't play some b-ball?

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.

I have to agree with you all the way. Lebron isnt even close to kobe. Kobe might end up getting 5 rings. Lebron might end up with 0 or 1. Kobe is the most talented. He has better passes but the only problem is that he has no1 to pass too. Also when you're that good you want to shoot a lot. He wins games single handedly for his team. WHen Kobes career is over he should be considered the best that ever played th game. Kobe MVP this seasonand I'm all the way for lakers, even though i live in MI i hate pistons and lakers are ma n*****

Michael Jordan, and it's not even close! Kobe is a selfish pr*ck and a ball-hog. He doesn't make his teammates better, and he doesn't care about winning, as long as his numbers look good.\n\nJordan learned to be a teammate, to get his team involved, he made himself a better defensive player, and improved his overall game every year.\n\nDon't even TRY to compare the two.

Nash just beet Kobe in the first round of the playoffs so when deciding between kobe and nash I would say nash. But lebron seemed more valuable to Cleveland in the finals so I think lebron deserves the MVP
