LeBron is the best player in the league.

Kobe is better IMO

based off the 1st round?? Detroit is horrendous...not saying he isn't...but the Pistons can't be the game that convinces you

Kobe is better....

Just breakin balls...s'all.

the gap is getting smaller and smaller every year, lebron is the better passer, driver and catching up in defense. Kobe is still ahead by a good margin in jump shooting.

technically lebron has closed the gap and surpassed kobe, at least statistically. lebron is currently playing at a level that kobe has never reached in his career in stats like PER, roland rating, net +/-, win shares, offensive win shares, defensive win shares, etc. basically from a statistical perspective lebron is playing at a level that no one has reached since jordan retired.

i guess it's debatable as to how valuable those advanced stats really are though

yeah i agree statistically he might be better, but kobe has been a great defender for a long time, and lebron has just become an elite on ball defender in the last year or 2. The intangibles for lebron have closed the gap immensely.

i'm not an nba fan (no offense) but lebron is the reason i watch and root for the cavs. been a fan since 2004.

Lebron is very close but i'd still give it slightly to Kobe for one reason. When the game is on the line, who do you want taking the shot? KOBE. Excluding last night of course D Wade isn't far behind either. I'd rather Wade take the shot over lebron and maybe even over Kobe. Dude is sick
