Isn't Kobe Bryant the best in the league right now?

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!

Kobe is better than LeBron at this point, but judging from the accomplishments he has done in just three years, he could be even better than MJ if he improves continuously.

OK come on man it's Kobe, he is gonna be the NBA 2007 MVP that is if Steve Nash doesn't take it back to back awards.  Every game Kobe always plays well someway, somehow, and he might even astonish you.

You would be creaming your pants if you found out that Kobe had been traded to your favorite team. Don't lie.\n\nAs for who he has made better, I would honestly say that Kwame Brown has become a much better player. Watching him in that Lakers/Suns series, he looked a lot better out there.\n\nIt's idiotic to say that Kobe sucks, when the man has 3 rings. Shaq or no Shaq, he is a damn good player.

Currently it is without a doubt Kobe Bryant he can dominate a game by himself.  He scored 18 points in the 4th quarter in today's game against the Hornets.  Also, 81 points is still unbelievable.\nOf all time it is Michael Jordan.\nThe best dunker is Vince Carter.

YES KOBE DESERVES IT WAY MORE!!! More proof...\n\nOutrageous 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

no way. even though he had a nice year and a nice record. that doesnt only make him the mvp. steve nash in my mind repeats as mvp. not only is he having a better year then last year (he was mvp last year), but he also is helping his teammate boris diaw be the front runner in the most improved player award. he has lead his team without amare one of the most versatile and explosive big men in the league. steve nash wins hands down. kobe will win it when he does more then score points. lebron wins it in a couple years.

Definitely Not.\nHe is the best player in the NBA.

Kobe is the single best pure basketball player in the NBA and that won't be enough to win back the favor of the public or any more championships.  Some nights, Kobe's offense isn't going to come and on those nights, the Lakers will lose.\n\nGetting through four seven-game matchups in the playoffs won't allow for the offensive ups and downs.  Someone athletic like Udonis Haslem, Bruce Bowen, Shawn Marion will figure out a way to slow down an offensive machine like Kobe.  Maybe not every team can do it, but you have to get through four teams.\n\nThat said...it's the championships that made him a hit with the public.  Without them, his fame will fade.

At this point, it's Kobe Bryant, but I believe LeBron's gonna be better than him in the future. He's still young but look at what he can do already.

Kobe has major issuses as a player in this leauge.   Ol' boy commented that people criticize Kobe when he has 81 and tries to do it all--- and those same people criticize him when he has 1 pt in the 2nd half and tries to get everyone involved/  that's exactly Kobe's problem.  Thats not how the game is played; look at LeBron,  you dont see him either score 50 or get score 10 and get everyone involved, he goes out every night and plays an all- around game like he should--- like everybody should.- Why is Kobe the only player who has problems with these kinda decisions? He isnt the only super star player who has ever played with sub par teammates in the history of the league... but its always something with him;  I thought he had matured a few years back= thats what analyists were saying right

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.

Lots of Kobe haters in this question.. Well here i am, a laker fan for life.. And although Kobe is not the best Laker of them all.. He is our warrior now.. and we will defend him..\n\nFirst off, f*ck nasty neezy and his low analytical skillz,he just a retard fan who didnt get a kobe autograph so he just sourgraping! haha! And Kobe is no ballhog no more,did u watch the first round?where were you guys?were u watching beverly hills 90210 on old vhs tapes?! Kobe is a ballhog?Have u morons been watching too much football?\n\nAnyways,The lakers will win a championship if the management will get someone to compliment Kobes game, like a KG,or someone who can step up when Kobes being double teamed.. Not necessarily a star but not like Odom who cant even scare a cute little chihuahua..Brown?drop him, a harmless tree could do better defense..\n\nLakers will get another Champioship with Kobe leading the way.. \nNo doubt about it, even if nasty neezy begs Kobe and licks his balls clean..
