Kobe vs Lebron

Kobe vs. Lebron has been an ongoing saga of opinions since Lebron emerge on the grand scene we call the highest court in the land.the NBA,but lets not forget that this kid is not on the same level,i mean dont get me wrong he is a remarkable talent but to say his is on Kobe's level,then lets not kid ourselves.If you are a person that doesnt live in los angeles or just move away from it because of state taxes or because of the cost of living,then it should not curve your opinion of this MEGA talent that is Mr.Kobe Bean Bryant.

Lebron bust out of high school in 2003,after stealing a few hearts with his national telvised games on ESPN to show us his very versatile skills,while kobe was still killing people on the NBA level,while Mj was making yet another comeback on his less bit of 38 year old kneees in a wizards uniform i might add,the torch so to speak was being handed down even though handed down in the 1999-2000 season,the 1999 season has a asterisk*(sorry san antonio).Dont get me wrong i wasnt the biggest kobe bryant fan after killing us that forgettable performance in the 1997 playoffs against the Utah Jazz,with two airballs,but he soon changed my mind sooner than later,as probaly the greatest ball player i have ever witness and yes that nike campaign they use for lebron was great,but we have all been witnesses to Kobe heroics since he stole out imagination in the 2001 playoffs,by disecting san antonio veteran defense coached by general patton aka greg popovich to the emergence of the great #8.With no flaw in his game,there is no mistake he is the man and will be until he retires sometime in his late 30's,now at 31 we often forget he also came out of high school,but nevertheless that doesnt chage the killer instinct in him,the way he can take over a game in the 4th quarter and being able to do the sort of feat is legendary and us as laker fans are spoiled by his consistant play of dazzling us on a nightly basis.Yes the glam of hollywood,palm trees,beautiful beaches and tmz constant barage of celebrity coverage elludes us all,but we as die hard laker fans understand what we are seeing as he paint this canvas.picasso,diego,monet,rembrandt and vangogh could never drop 81 on a night when the nfl playoffs might be the top story,who amogst us can drop 81 in a playstation game with 20 min quarters,none of us.

Lebron is a freak and i mean that with all do respect,his performance against detroit was the stuff dreams are made of,i mean Kobe pulls off knick killer reggie miller type performances almost on a nightly basis if he wanted to and makes it look easy and i think thats the difference for us all,how you can drop 61 points in the worlds most famous arena in 36 minutes is beyond me.But Lebron's performance deserves almost the same exact praise,he was one rebound shy of a triple double.I know i sound to most of you out there that is reading this BIG BIAS kobe fan,yes i can admit that,but the truth in is the pudding, i can only based this on their play alone.I remember Lebron leading the league in scoring early in the season a few years ago and he said "kobe will leading the league in scoring before this season is done",i dont think he did but the respect alone fron the akron kid was something i give him credit for,he knows what he dealing with,the BLACK MAMBA.So,let the deabate continue and we keep being amazed by these extemely talented athletes we have come acustom to we as mere civilians should be gracious for ther presence to entertain us as the playoffs every year approaches.

  1. I like them both, but you know I'm biased. Kobe is king but Lebron it is.
