Lebron is faster. No doubt. Kobe is probably more efficient in his movement and definitely has better foot work that Lebron but he isn't faster or quicker. I do agree Ron can play Lebron better for the simple fact that Kobe knows his best chance to beat Ron is by driving past him as opposed to posting him up. Lebron has not figured that out yet and still thinks he can out-muscle Ron which ain't happening.
the lakers? contenders? in a word, NO. they have no defense and they have no heart. you MUST have both if you want to stand a chance in the post season. it's as simple as that.
