Well, right now LeBron James is the best in the NBA. But, the best player ever is the one and only MJ. But I wouldn't be surprised to see LBJ pass Jordan up.\n\nI LOVE BASKETBALL TOO!

So Kobe can score more than every othe NBA player? Big deal. Even if that makes him the most skilled player in the NBA, it doesn't make him the most valuable player. Steve Nash-led teams(Suns and Mavs) have led the league in scoring for 4 out of the past 5 years, and if you ever watched the Suns even once this year and compare them to last year, you can see that Nash made the players around him better. I could write an article on why Nash deserves the MVP award.

The Lakers are easily the best NBA francise ever. In every era they have a multitude of stars. In the 40's and 50's they George Mikan along with Ben Harrison. In the 60's and 70's there was a awsome team in Elgin Baylor, Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain, Kareem Obdul Jaffar and Jerry West. Then in the 80's and a small part of the 90's there were the showtime Lakers. They still had Kareem and added Magic Johnson to the team and became champions. Then in the 90's and some of the 2000's they had a three peat lead by Kobe and Shaq. But now the dynesty has ended. Shaq left and they aqquired really bad players. So now Kobe is trying his hardest to help his team win. He is doing the best he can and if they aqquire a couple decent players there dynesty will continue and they will again be the best basketball francise ever!!\nGO LAKERS!!

No, Kobe is better\nReasons:\n\n\n*Outrageous scoring spree (45+ in 4 games???)\n*81 point game against Raptors\n*Takes record for total points in one season by a Laker\n*Outscoring Dallas in three quarters\n* Most points in one half by a Laker\n*43.4 points averaged in January \n*Scoring 40 or more in one season- 27\n* Games of 20 or more in a season (in a row): 62\n* One of only two people to score 80 or more in one game.\n*One of two players in NBA history to average 40+ in one month in two occasions (one this year)\n*Only player in NBA history with at least 2,800 points and 180 three-point field goals made in one season. \n*One of only two players in NBA history to score 35-plus points per game for 13 consecutive games\n*Scored 30 points in one quarter against Dallas\n\nThat good for ya?

It really is not much of a competiton the answer is Kobe Bryant.  He has a great jumpshot, can drive the lane and plays great D.  And when he wants to he can pass.  And he is probably the most clutch player in the NBA.\n\nWade might get to that level someday but he has to become better at not turning over the ball and his jumpshot is suspect.  His defense is starting to take shape.\n\nJames does not have the outside all-around game Kobe has yet, or the lock down defensive capabilities but he is the second best and will probably surpass Bryant in a few years.\n\nDirk is not strong enough to dominate his position.  Nash can't play D and he can be a very sloppy player.\n\nAnthony is not even in the top ten.  So my list is:\n\n1.  Bryant\n2. James\n3. Wade\n4. Iverson\n5. Nowitzki\n6. Nash\n7. Tim Duncan\n8. Shaq\n9. Garnett\n10. Arenas\n11. Anthony

Kobe Bryant amazing shooting ability and the explosiveness he has when he drives to the basket makes him the most fun player to watch in the NBA.

Truth is, there are about 8 players in NBA history who have a legitimate argument to be called the best (or most dominant) player of all time...\n\nThey are:\n\n1) Wilt Chamberlain\n2) Bill Russell\n3) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar\n4) Larry Bird\n5) Magic Johnson\n6) Oscar Robertson\n7) Michael Jordan\n8) Shaquille O'Neal\n\nTim Duncan probably comes the closest to matching the skill level of these guys, in terms of fundamentals...but Duncan does not have a claim to be called the best ever...\n\nWilt was really the most dominant player ever (on BOTH ends of the court), and his basketball skills far exceeded those of Shaquille O'Neal. Although Jordan's strong suit is his scoring, his scoring feats really pale in comparison with Wilt.\n\nRussell led his team to 11 NBA titles in his 13 year career. Were Jordan around back then, he'd be just another guy who lost to the Celtic machine.\n\nJordan and Shaq are the only players on the above list who had the luxury of playing against what amounts to 'high school' players. The level of competition and overall skill levels of todays players is not as good as during, for example, the 1980s. But players today are adjusting to the way the NBA wants the game played. Traveling is never called, nor is 'palming' the ball (probably no one under 25 today even knows what 'palming the ball' even means...)\n\nThe All Defensive teams were not selected until after the 1969 season, so Wilt only made that team 3 or 4 times, but would have made it more often had there been such a thing in the '60s. So the idea that Jordan is the greatest defender ever because of his All Defensive number of selections is not well-founded.\n\nIf anyone thinks that todays players are more highly skilled than players of the 60s 70s and 80s, we need only look as far as the U.S. recent international performances, or lack thereof. Teams from Europe are beating our NBA "All Star" teams on a regular basis the last few years, because they (the Europeans) are still playing the game the way the U.S. played it in the 60s and 70s, when the U.S. truly dominated the world in basketball. They have taken the way we taught them the game and are now using that style against us. The U.S. international teams have been pathetic during the 21st century.\n\nMcGrady is not even close to being the best player of all time... there's no argument that one can make to place him anywhere near the company of the guys on this list. Being able to dunk doesn't make you the greatest player of all time.  If you think T-Mac is one of the two greatest players ever, you obviously haven't watched very much basketball.

Kobe can be a ballhog, as can nearly everyone admit, but he does make most shots. If anyone had the talent he had, they would do the same. Kobe is playing great, but I don't really "like him". I respect him.\n\nAI actually passes more often, and he is a true fighter. He gives it his all every single game.

No LeBron may be the best player in the game, but the Pistons are the best team. If you shut down one of the scorers they still have 2 or 3 others who can take on the load. I think they are the best team in the NBA.

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.
