King James is better than Kobe

So says Epic Carnival, which today listed 10 reasons why Ohio's finest is better than Kobe. Some of the points are tough to argue with (e.g. age) but if Bynum is healthy, I'd put my money on Kobe and the Lakers over LBJ and the Cavs. And with three seconds left on the clock, there is no one I'd rather have take the shot than Kobe Bryant.

Lebron James is a gifted physical specimen, but absolutely helpless in the "real world," which has yet to venture into. By the virtue of being a 6'9 bruising beast, he can score at will on the court, but it's not pretty at all.

Kobe is graceful on the court. His play is artistic, and every basketball he makes appears effortless. He's also well-grounded, intelligent, without illegitimate children, and has a freaking social conscience (James hasn't any at all).

Kobe would win one-on-one 7 times out of ten, and would be voted into office over James 9 times out of ten.

Man i sure hope youre being satirical.

Dude, no freaking way.

Kobe would be toast in any election. You don't bang a ho who then yells "rape" and then win an election. Not even for peanut vendor at the state fair.

Otherwise, I mostly agree, but still favor LBJ, mostly because he's never needed to elbow someone in the face post-release to ensure that he continues to get his shot off.

And LBJ doesn't chew on his tongue when he's lying to the press.


No he chews on his fingers!!!!!!

Fingernails. Yeah, I thought of that when I wrote that reply, too. That's pretty far up the on the pro athlete freaky idiosyncratic behavior scale, but this year, I haven't seen as much of it when watching the cavs (having forked over for the league pass) ... not sure what he's doing -- chewing on straws, maybe instead, like Caron Butler?


Im going to have to agree with thumbsdown.. Kobe also had 12 rebounds and 6 assists... But kobe could have 10 assists and still be considered a ball hog.. I watched a game where if luke walton would have made half his layups Kobe would have had 17 assists instead of 9 about a month ago. Both are very good, and what LBJ did against the Raptors was uncanny!

I hope you meant, "what KOBE did against the Raptors was uncanny!"

I'm not sure Kobe could pull off what LeBron did to the Pistons last year.

I'm sure Kobe wouldn't choke like LeBron did against the Spurs.

Two words: 81 points.

this is hilarious to think that lebron is better than Kobe...if you know basketball, you will know that Kobe is the best player in the world. And with Kobe, the US will win the Olympics, but the US cant win without him.
THat game that the lakers lost, its because of weak ass Kwame Brown that they lost. When he came in with a 9 point lead it evaporated in 2 minutes. Lebron cant do what Kobe can do, HANDS DOWN! TELL lebron to work harder in the off season and we will see in a few years.
Lebron will never win a championship with the team he is on.

jus10gee, i was refering to Lebron exploding when those girls were heckling him to win the game... But there you have something that Kobe has one upped him in as he has scored 81 against the raptors..

For all you idiotic believers that Kobe Bryant, who got whupped by Detroit in 2004 and has not been past the first round since then. Bron not only dropped Detroit without any players half as good as Kobe's former guardian who he affectionately called Shaq Daddy and got to the NBA finals, the place Kobe used to go to with his Shaq Daddy. Learn some b-ball logic if Kobe loses 4-1 v. suns and they lose 4-2 v. the spurs in the semis, Kobe gonna get the crap beat out of him. Lebron will never win a title with the team he is on but give him odom and bynum you better believe he will as Kobe does what he does best when times get hard, cry for someone to help him - Trade me, trade me, instead of RISING to the OCCASION (the playoffs where champs are born) - Bron down 2-0 detroit its that situation that drives him 4 straight. Rising not to some meaningless game to score 81 but to carry his team to the show. Something he should have learned from his Shaq DAddy. Either end of this year or next year Bron will claim the throne as the best player in the league. 30-8-8 complete with the heart of a champ. Remember year before last Bron got beat by Detroit 4-3 in 2006 then beat 'em and now he lost to SA 4-0 - he is gonna get better.

If LeBron with his Cavs were in the Western Conference, he wouldn't even make the playoffs, yet alone get past the first round. Statistically, Kobe is the better player, and according to popular belief Kobe IS better than LBJ.

Maybe in the future LeBron will be better. But as of now, Kobe is inferior.


Lebron may illegitimate children with Women, he doesn't prey on 19-yr. old girls as Kobe does with the girls he messes around with and cry rape and his wifey - he picked herup fresh out of grade school. High-schoolers watch your back when Kobe is around cuz in the words of Karl Malone - he's huntin for little grade school girls. As for intelligence how much of an idiot do you have to be to demand for your own NBA guardian to be traded and leave your butt to get violated like it was in Vail, Colo. Finally one-on-one is simply to difficult to determine whose the victor, Kobe is the one of the most gifted scorers in basketball history but Bron can dominate the NBA's best team defenses to finish with dunks as game winners in the PLAYOFFS(see Detroit v. Bron). In the end LeBron cares too much about the game of basketball to worry about one-on-one competitions, a concept Kobe fans don't get - it is a Team game an artform Kobe will never understand as much as Bron-Bron does.

LeBron came to Dallas and whipped our asses. Kobe came to Dallas and left with an L. Each player has his own strengths. Kobe is much quicker and if I had to have one player in the league to hit a 3-pointer for me when the game is on the line, then Kobe would be the man. He's clutch. On the other hand, as mentioned above, LeBron got his team to the finals with maybe just a tad more support than what Kobe has in L.A. I went to the Mavericks/Lakers game a couple of nights ago and Kobe doesn't have shit to work with. He is a ball hawk, but he doesn't have a center to work with either. Cleveland has Ilgauskas, which is a hell of a lot better than Brown, Bynum or Mihm or Mbenga.

how many championships does lebron have?

How many does Kobe have since Shaq left?

Zero.

But how many rings did Kobe have by the time he was 23 (LeBrons current age)? THREE

LeBron? ZERO

Again........all because of Shaq.

blah, blah, blah!!!!! go back in the bedroom and let daddy give it to you in the ass again, bitch. he's waiting.

If Bynum did not get hurt the lakers by now would be top of the West.. Kobe does what he needs to do, Bron is great, but dont make Kobe try to sound like a little bitch enlightenedone. And phuckphilly you can not take one out of 82 games and determine who is the better player..

No, I can't and I don't think I singled one out as the best. I am just telling you what I observed.

dude, when was the last time Dallas Crygirls won a playoff game? oh yea, back when it was legal to buy the best team and do steroids and snort cane. your team sucks dude, hehe!

Are you lost, dude? If you can't say anything intelligent at all , stay the fuck off the boards, OK? You're a fucking no-good , worthless idiot. This is a basketball thread here. Of course, I know you don't know the difference.

Laker, who is YOUR football team? Or do you know anything about it. You ran and hid last time we had an argument and you couldn't come up with a valid point.

Oh, ok. Yes, the Broncos. Excuse me. Or is it the Carolina Panthers? I'm confused.

Lebron is a much better team player!!!

ptowncboy, how do you get that??? because he averages one more assist than Kobe??? What??

Darn........that's it!!! I just made up my mind. Both are good. We'll just have to see which one gets further into the playoffs.

way to staddle the fence, I bet being a crygirls fan you have plenty experience straddling things, hehehehhe!

Kind of like your 7-9 Carolina Panthers, huh? Man, you have a lot of room to be spouting off. With comments like yours, you are just making an ass of yourself in front of everyone on here. I guess you like that though, huh? What's up with you and why are you picking on me? Nothing better to do with your sorry ass, you piece of shit.

dude, dont take it so personal, I am not the idiot who roots for a team that cannot win a playoff game...

guess we all know who the real loser is!

HEHEHEHEHEHE!

No problem, dude. I don't even take you seriously anymore. Have fun though.

last time i checked, carolina ain't won shit. i wouldn't be shooting off my mouth about everyone else like you do on all your other posts. must be lonely down there in n.c. go find you another sheep to keep you warm....faggot.

Guess who's team took a big step forwards?
It will - coincidentally - make Bryant a much better candidate for the MVP.

Still, even if Bryant does win another ring, the anti-Kobe apologists will say "yeah, but he had Gasol".
Oh egads...

how many championship does lebron have
thats all i have to say
