Ok, so I've been hearing all about this big rivalry between the Black Mamba and King James, the Chosen One. So who is really better? Well, I can tell you that Lebron James and Kobe Bryant are the top two players in the league - their versatility, scoring, power, and passion for the game of B-Ball is astounding. Lebron James is a more well-rounded player, with 28.4 points per game, 7.6 boards a game, and 7.2 dimes per matchup during the 2008-2009 regular season. This season, Kobe Bryant racked up 26.8 points per game, 5.2 rebounds per game, and 4.9 assists per game. Lebron James also racked up more steals, blocks, and had a higher FG% than number 24.
It seems as if Lebron James has surpassed Kobe Bryant, but not so fast: the Playoffs and the Finals are where reputations are made, and so far, Kobe Bryant has 3 rings, and he's about to win another one, this time without Shaq. LBJ has only made it to the Finals once, where he and his Cleveland Cavaliers were swept by Tony Parker and the San Antonio Spurs. And, this year, when everyone was almost certain the Akron-born superstar was going to win the NBA World Championship title, he lost to the underdog Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic.
So is James still better than Kobe? You decide.
