Well there's your problem.
"Scoring Leaders: Points Per Game"

When they were all on the Olympic team with Kobe, everyone was inspired to step up their game.
D-Wade, Lebron, Carmelo, they all got to see firsthand the intensity of Kobe. He just does not accept weakness anywhere in his game and always finds something to work on.

is that last years stats

Kobe takes over a game when he needs to.

Lebron is such a douchebag now, god. The whole "I don't wanna talk about Free Agency anymore" when he always brings it up, when he shows up in a Yankees cap wanting to suck Jay-Z's dick. <insert shirenu's attentionwhore pic>

Now this:

LeBron wants all players to surrender 23
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4650907

"He can't get the logo [Hall of Famer Jerry West's silhouette adorns the NBA's logo], and if he can't, something has to be done. I feel like no NBA player should wear 23. I'm starting a petition, and I've got to get everyone in the NBA to sign it. Now, if I'm not going to wear No. 23, then nobody else should be able to wear it."

What?? Just because Jordan came to see Dwayne Wade play, he wants EVERYONE to give up 23? What will The Queen do about his logo?

What's 6 mean? 2 x Dwayne Wade? Dr. J really got dissed man

Bottom line: Lebron can't stand that Kobe beats him in jersey sales.

6 = LeBron's Olympic team number.

Why not retire 32 or 33, huh?

My vote goes to The Mamba.

Kobe's the more proven one, IMHO, the rings notwithstanding.
When it really comes to taking over a game, Kobe knows how to get it done, but he also knows that he has teammates he can trust to get it done, as well.

No help from Kobe

If LeBron James(notes) is looking for advice on how to play with Shaquille O’Neal(notes), he’d be wasting his time asking Kobe Bryant.

“I clearly know, but I’m not saying nothing,” Bryant said. “That’s something that I had to do.”

So what did you do?

“I figured it out,” Bryant said. “That’s something that [James] needs to do. I won’t give him advice.”

Did James call you for advice on O’Neal?

“I won’t give him none. I’ve given him enough already.”

For the past few days I have been thinking about this comparison. Is Lebron better? Then I read this article about him at ESPN.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/100120&sportCat=nba

And this article peaked my thinking. LeBron has similar size as Karl Malone, athleticism is amazing and he is only 25. His long range shooting has gotten way better over the years. And so spending too much time thinking about this, I have come to a realization. It is a scary and exciting thing to think how much better LeBron will get. He seemingly gets better literally every game.

While I maintain that Kobe is still the best player in the NBA, LeBron is the 2nd best player in the league but these past 2 seasons, he has closed that gap a lot for numero uno. (It pains me to say that, since Wade is my favorite player in the NBA.)

I would like to mention one thing. Wouldn't a LeBron/Wade rivalry make more sense? Kobe is older than the both of them and has more success than the both of them combined. It's more likely that Wade & LeBron are going to competing against each other longer than Kobe would against either one of them. Yes I did say that Kobe and LeBron are 1 & 2 in the NBA respectively but there is more to be had with a Wade/LeBron rivalry than a Kobe/LeBron one.

Even though Kobe has been in the league for 12 years, he's still only 30. There's still quite a few years left in him, and unfortunately for Wade, I think the conversation won't move away from Kobe vs LeBron until one of them retires. By then, we might be raving about some new talent that might be "the next Kobe" or "the next LeBron", or maybe someone else like Carmelo will be part of the next big "rivalry". As it is, while there is a bit of overlap between the SF and SG positions, Kobe and LeBron play different games, and comparisons are mostly for the sake of pitting #1 vs #2.

If you want to talk about what rivalries make more sense, I would argue that the best players who play the same position, i.e. Nash vs Paul vs Williams, or LeBron vs Carmelo, or Kobe vs Wade are more appropriate comparisons. Still, "more to be had" is a tough thing to pin down. In the end, #1 vs #2 will always capture the public imagination more than #2 vs #3, as well as sell more tickets and merchandise. At least from the league's and sponsors' points of view, isn't that what this is all about?

nothing new. Lebron whining like a bitch.

Kobe wouldn't be so classless.

CrimsonSky · « **Reply #36 on:** March 12, 2010, 12:29:40 AM »

Kobe.. hands down. I can't deny that Lebron is a good player but I can't stand his attitude.. too childish. He acts like a sore loser when he loses and when he wins he acts like he's the shit. Not to mention he acts like a goofball and dances around during games lol.

both are equally great, I would side with the Lakers more than the Cave based on supporting crew

Overall I hate Lakers so GO CAVS!

I voted can't decide

I vote LeBron because I don't like Lakers too!

In my opinion, LeBron is better than Kobe. Just look at some stats in their games. Kobe would score sometimes a lot in a game but the field goal attempts are a lot too =)) the ball is almost 90% in his hands. no offense to kobe fans

dorobo · « **Reply #38 on:** March 19, 2010, 01:24:39 AM »

I'd say Kobe and Lebron are pretty close in terms of overall skill, talent and ability but I would say that Kobe is still a bit better than Lebron at least till Lebron wins some rings. I love Lebron and not taking anything from him but he hasn't won a ring yet, if you're that good you have to have a ring at least and Kobe currently has what 4? Lebron is like 1b if Kobe is 1a, they are close but Lebron hasn't overtaken kobe for the top spot yet, maybe if he wins this year's championship by knocking out the lakers in the finals, he'd be no1 in my rankings over Kobe. Till he wins though Kobe is still a bit better than him imo.

Kobe = Championship rings, nuff said.
