Title: Kobe or Lebron?
Post by: TAFNA Dude on May 27, 2009, 08:20:58 PM: Tough question, both are excellent players. Kobe's wife is one of the hottest women on the planet. (I imagine 'bron's women are pretty hot too, but it's hard to beat Kobe's wife.)

If I'm picking someone to take the last shot of the game, I want Kobe.

If I'm picking someone to start a franchise with, I want Lebron.

Best overall player..I have to say Kobe for now. Lebron may have had the better season, but he can't be King until he wins a championship.

Post by: catsfan20052006 on May 27, 2009, 08:23:21 PM: I have to agree with you on all points but LeBron is still my guy. He has taken my fantasy team to new heights (in the regular season but not the playoffs of course) and I love his commercials. He wasn't as good as Peyton Manning on SNL though.

Title: Re: Kobe or Lebron?
Post by: BigCat on May 27, 2009, 09:00:11 PM: I think the question is Kobe, LeBron or Melo?

I would not take Kobe. Getting too many games on his odometer and guys like LeBron and Melo are about to replace him as the unqualified elites. Last season, Melo surpassed 9,000 points for his career, and was the second youngest to achieve the feat. Who was first? LeBron. But LeBron entered the league a year younger than Melo did, since Melo was busy winning NC2A championships at the great hoops program which is Syracuse. So there are only two peeps in the category of scorers that Melo and LeBron belong to. I would take either one of them. They both realize they need to win at least a couple C'ships to be in the elite, or else they'll end up like Chris Webber.

Post by: hemmy on May 27, 2009, 09:17:33 PM: Lebron, pains me to say. Just watch Kobe he doesn't really impose fear, wear as if Lebron drives there is really no stopping him (and the refs will make sure of it). Kobe these days is usually just facing up and taking a jump shot.

Last 5-6 minutes though, Kobe all the way.

Joking, right?

LeBron took his team of misfits to the best record in the league.

This isn't even an argument. It's LeBron. And it's not close.

LeBron took his team of misfits to the best record in the league. Now look at Lebron down 3-1 to Orlando where as kobe's team is ahead 3-2 over a legit Denver team

This isn't even an argument. It's LeBron. And it's not close. Yes it is, Lebron has never sniffed 81 points in 1 game

Alright, just wondering. I still don't know why anybody thinks Kobe is better.

No and that's one of his faults.....At times he's too unselfish.

David Robinson and David Thompson both scored more than 70 in a game. Does that make them better than Lebron? Or for that matter better than Jordan whose career best was 69?

Completely owned.
Title: Re: Kobe or Lebron?
Post by: TAFNA Dude on May 29, 2009, 06:08:17 PM: If we're going to base the criteria off of what determined Jordan's greatness, let's determine why he was so great:

1) He got his team multiple championships
2) He got his team multiple championships
3) He got his team multiple championships
4) Athleticism, MVP's, scoring records, etc.

You can argue about the scoring records, the triple doubles, etc until you're blue in the face. Until Lebron leads his team to a championship, you can't put him on that top tier.

If you want to talk about who the best player is right now..You'll have a good argument. Offensively Kobe is better, defensively Lebron is better. Kobe and Lebron are both in the finals. Kobe has more talent around him. But despite having that talent he still puts up similar numbers to Lebron. And Kobe's team is up, whereas Lebron's team is down.

I just don't see how anyone can say Lebron unless they're a Kobe hater.
Title: Re: Kobe or Lebron?
Post by: CatsNChiefs on May 30, 2009, 10:05:45 PM: No opinions needed, the playoffs have shown who the obviously superior player is.
Title: Re: Kobe or Lebron?
Post by: hemmy on May 30, 2009, 10:35:10 PM: Jordan - highest career avg in regular and post season history

Nobody really compares to Jordan (well...Kobe is a "similar" type of player)
Title: Re: Kobe or Lebron?
Post by: KCcat28 on May 30, 2009, 11:29:41 PM: After what has happened to Cleveland this year I just have a feeling this will entice James to leave... They had the best team all year and they blew it when it counted most. He won't be successful in winning multiple championships in Cleveland unless they bring in someone else to take the load off of him...

Ed Nealy (EMAW) -> Phil -> Kobe
