No I don't. Do you remember that was when the Pistons were poised to return to the Finals with C Billups, Rip Hamilton, Sheed Wallace, and Prince???? LeBron single handedly took over that series and pile drived his team to the finals..... with no regards for human life! - Marv Albert You remember that???
You're obviously confused at to what the definition of an actual douche is. Have you seen the games in which Kobe is caught by the cameras talkin mad ***** to Shane while he's dropping 30+ points on him? What LeBron does is more as having fun, at least thats how I take it. He doesn't run backwards down the court (wanna be MJ style ) telling a player "you can't hold me" during games... that's my definition of douche baggery at its finest. Only reason I don't like Kobe is his smug attitude, if he wasn't so cocky I would not just respect his game but enjoy him as a person, as well. Anyone have vids of this for back up? I know its floating around somewhere.
they're both douchebags and both cocky. so what. bird and jordan were the same way. but it's about what they do on the court and i'd take lbj over the mamba all day.
Umm this is a Rockets board. Wtf did all these Kobe fans come from? He's a legendary player but he is one of the biggest douches in the NBA. Hop off/
HAHAHAHHA This! Anyone claims picking Kobe over Lebron is delusional. Kobe is a great player, I mean like top 15 of all time but not a very good teammate inside and outside court. Lebron is a complete player. He can run, shoot, penetrate, rebound, incredible passer, strong etc.. He's playing on a very bad team while Kobe playing with a great team which has got very good players except point guard. Just take out Kobe and put Lebron on Lakers, and think about what happens.
Jordan was considered the best player in the game BEFORE he won championships. WHILE Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were still playing and winning championships. Its not some outrageous opinion to think Lebron is better than Kobe even though Kobe has all the hardware on Lebron.
That was the 2008 Series against the Celtics and the Cavs lost that series in 7 games. That being said, why can't some of you just wait till the end of the year to make the decision. This is too pre-mature right now. LeBron dominated last season in the playoffs, but his teammates pussied out on him. Regardless, Kobe still dissected the Magic into pieces and took that team out in 5 games.
I feel like Kobe isn't as cocky as he once used to be. Maybe it is after we all learned how much work he puts in the off season.. or after we all saw Lebron dancing in every single game and doing his little mouthpiece thing
how can you even argue for kobe anymore? lebron is hands down the best player right now period. the only thing going for kobe is rings that he won, which he won BEFORE this year. i thouht lebron was the best player 2 years ago. now he is just distancing himself from the field. 30, 7, 8 on 51% fg and his team has the best record in the L.
Wrong series, wrong commentator....

Kobe is playing injured. Kobe plays injured a lot. That comes with being an aging player. I'll take LeBron.
LeBron is the more rounded player, can anybody disagree with that? But I don't believe that determines everything.
That's right it was, damn. I just remembered him killing Sheed going to the rim and throwing it down with all his might. Would have been great for that series, eh. My bad, but thanks for not being a douche about it. BTW my opinion doesn't come based on this current season, its on both player's career as of now to this point. LeBron is already better than Kobe without the great teams or HOF players around him in their prime.
