    hi everyone!
    i'm sick of articles talking about Lebron James that he is the King,....
    well, i think seriously that this guy has not proven yet his greatness in terms of winning a champ'
    yes it was huge to get to the finals
    but i just do not see him as great as Kobe
    he lacks the skills of Kobe
    so to me Kobe right now is the King
    and Lebron has still a lot to do to get to the Kingdom of Greatness :grin:

    Yeah I agree. Kobe was cocky as Lebron is now but Kobe was much more humbled. Kobe's prime was when Lebron was deeloping and James is entering his prime as Kobe is fading from his.

    If James doesnt get a ring he's no different fro Dom. Wilkens a big highflying scoring machine yet ringless.































    oh and 1st

    Talk to the Kobe who was at his first All Star game.

    Yes, Lebron is a scoring machine and nothing else.


    The NBA Dish is starting to have some serious spillover from the GARM..

    This ignores the fact that James is a much better defender and playmaker than Wilkins, making him a significantly better player.

    I agree, LeBron (IMO) is way more humble than Kobe is or ever was. If you ask Shaq the guy that's played with both players 10 times out of 10 he would say LeBron is the better teammate than Kobe.

    Sarcasm? I detect.... LeBron is way more than just a scoring machine, he is an all around player. DOES IT ALL! Just take a look at his stats over his career to the guys that question this and compare to Kobe's.

    Yes, it definietly is, there was another Kobe vs LeBron thread if I'm not mistaken, correct. Either way this has been discussed in more detail and OP you did a great job proving your case, fantastic! :rolleyes:

    No, no hate. I repsect Kobe's game, but as a complete ball player LeBron is way better at the age of 24 even comparing him to the Kobe of now.

    Look at the teams Kobe's taken to the Finals and compare those to the team that LeBron took. Even when Kobe was with Shaq

    Sorry, I wasn't done.

    .... he had a fantastic team built around the 2 stars. Kobe is a scorer but if he didn't have those great teams he would be the Kobe that was whining about not having a good team to play with when he was dropping 81 on Toronto.

    LeBron is better now than Kobe and will finish his career being the better player out of the 2.

    Oh and if you're talking about the Shaq of the late 90's and early 2000's he'd take LBJ, but he was still in junior high shooting jumpers at that age.

    If you had to pick between LJ and Kobe who would you pick?

    Kobe couldn't even take his team out of the 1st round by himself.

    Lebron took his team to the finals on a bad team.

    He still pretty much single handedly beat a good pistons team. Kobe was up on a pheonix team with no amare and he still lost.

    The only reason they call him King James is cause of the Bible so its a automatic ring to it...
