Lakers here . Why is everyone saying Lebron James Is better dan Bryant.

I hear arguments for both players. Lots say Kobe's better and lots say Lebron is.

Kobe has three rings and seems like a more complete player. I'd go with Kobe at the moment.

Kobe is suppose to be compared wid Jordan. Jordan and Kobe are di best players in di NBA. And lebron is just now coming up so he can't be compared.

Kobe is an overall complete player. He has almost every aspect of the game of basketball perfected. yes even the team game as his team is up there at the top and he's turned into a more team-player.

LeBron though is just a never-before seen freak. Freak as in good. He's huge and only 23 years old. He's the size of Ray Lewis in the NFL, only taller, and he's faster than half the running backs in the NFL.

I watch LeBron drive in the lane and he constantly gets almost practice lay-ups and dunks because it looks like the opposition is just getting out of his way. They are trying to stop him, but for their own sake they are trying to avoid getting run over by the L-Train. King James and Kobe are 2 of the top 3 players in the league, and with how he played in last years NBA playoffs, that just makes me believe in him even more. It's hard to believe he's still only a year older than me. He's young as shit and he already is on pace to break scoring records and owns the Cavs all-time scoring mark at his age.

Aren't they the same dude? xD

Once Lebron becomes more of a threat from behind the arc, he'll be an even greater force.

I think he meant to say King James and Kobe. xD

I'd actually like to see some of the younger players step up and make the field more interesting. Maybe players like Durant (who still has a lot of improving to do and who needs lots of perimeter players to help him out) or older guys like McGrady or Iverson (actually if Denver had a better defense both Iverson and Anthony would be pretty good candidates)...

But Kobe and LeBron...they're just way wayyyy out of everyone else's league.

A major disappointment would be Dwayne Wade. He's been off form ever since winning the Championship 2 years ago.

haha yeah I meant to put in Kobe instead of LeBron's name.

I think players like Michael Redd, Deron Williams, Josh Smith, and Caron Butler don't get as much recognition as they should. I mean some of them play out in cities that hardly get any praise (seriously, Milwaukee? Pshhhh...) but then Caron Butler has Gilbert usually getting all the attention, and Deron Williams is still young on a great team, but Utah's a quiet kinda team.

Also, I think Deron Williams has a chance to be a great star like John Stockton was, because he's more of a porficient score than Choir-Boy was back in the 80's and 90's. D-Will can pass the rock too 10+ times a game, and Boozer's a great match for a Malone-like pick 'n' roll partner.

Well the Playoffs are starting and The Suns already lost against the Spurs. Shaq is really making himself look old do you see how slow he was running. And Steve Nash I don't what he's doing. They let Tony Parker score on them why didn't no one stop him.

Steve Nash really isn't all that well-known for defending. >.>

I don't know if he was singling Nash out for the poor defense or not.

The Suns have looked like a less formidable team since acquiring Shaq. He hasn't been the strong defensive presence the Suns had hoped for. Nash's assists were down, as was the Suns' overall offensive production.
