I don’t necessarily think Lebron needs five rings to surpass Kobe on the All-Time greatest list, but he definitely needs more than one. This is what Michael Jordan was saying when asked who has had a better career Lebron or Kobe. If you had to pick between the two, that would be a tough choice, but five beats one every time I look at it. And not that he [James] won’t get five. He may get more than that, but five is bigger than one. This isn’t groundbreaking material, just common sense. Lebron still has some work to do, but unlike Kobe, he is just hitting the Optimus Bron stage of his career, so it isn’t out of the question he could get five or more, people just need to be patient before crowning him the king.

During his All-Star media session, LeBron James said he heard that Michael Jordan would choose Kobe Bryant over himself because he feels at the end of the day 5 rings is better than 1. However, LeBron doesn’t think rings always define a career:
“At the end of the day, rings don’t always define a career. If that was the case, I would sit up here and say I’d take [Bill] Russell...

While Kobe didn’t point out Dwight specifically in these quotes provided by Larry Brown Sports, it is pretty obvious who he is talking about.

You can make an argument that Lebron James, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant all could be rated the number one player of All-Time. If I was a betting man, Jordan would be the number one choice. The game in the Jordan era was different, more physical, lots of hand checking and harder fouls were allowed. Second for me would be Kobe. He has the work ethic of MJ and a drive of his...

Howard expects to play in All-Star game
Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant were elected starters for Sunday night's NBA All-Star game in Houston.
Despite playing through a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Howard said Monday that he expects to play.
"If I re-aggravate my shoulder in these next two games, I'll probably just play a couple of minutes and sit the rest out," Howard said.
