LeBron! Kobe may have the titles, but LeBron is an all-around better player from the perimeter, within the perimeter, posting up and take it strongto the rim. IMO.

KOBE all the way! He thinks the game and teaches it. In fact the experience that Lebron and Carmelo had w/the Olympic team and Kobe, is what I think took their respective games to this new level that they reached this year. They would have improved on their own however being with #24 last summer made a huge impact on both of them. They openly admit it anyway.

Are you serious? You think Lebron has better perimeter game than Kobe? WOW!! It's not even close.

Posting up I think it's a toss up because Kobe is really good and subtle with his post up game, but I could see giving that to Lebron and taking it to the rim as well.

I'm not taking anything away from Kobe. Yes, the dude has game. His cockinessis the thing that gets to me. LeBron is just as good as Kobe. The two in the finals would have been awesome. LeBron is also a teacher and motivator. Unfortunately, he and the Cavs couldn't get it done. Both won't say who is the better man on the court.

I think I know what you're saying about "his cockiness". The way it comes across to me is supreme confidence in one's ability to get it done, whatever it takes.

Speaking of cockiness, what about walking off the court without congratulating the better team?

[Steady_One_S13]

It's one thing to have confidence to back you up, but cockiness and showing it isjust as stupid as walking off the court and being a bad sport. All should be good sports - win or lose, good or bad performance.I don't agree with LeBron walking off the court. That made him look bad.

[ddrumman]

What you are interpreting as cockiness I see as self confidence. We can argue that until the cows come home.

However, we can not argue poor sportsmanship. I've seen all the greats and they ALL would have stayed on the floor to give it up for the better team.
