Kobe or Lebron?

[amat]

give lebron 3 years and him and kobe wont be talked about in the same breath,lebron is so much stronger,and equally as gifted as kobe was at his age.

You don't know that.

Because basically Kobe was never made to be the man for the Lakers team when he first was drafted at 17. The team didn;'t have him as a starter for that team or put him in the position of LeBron James. So we don't know how gifted Kobe was at that age because he wasn't put on that stage until later.

LeBron may turn out to be another Vince Carter. Someone who looks "young" when he is "young" but then once he tries to form his own game his team is going to suffer because his maturity in the game won't go with the offense. It happens to all these "next MJ's" that are put in the spotlight from their first game. Kobe wasn't, so he was able to develop without being hyped as much as LeBron. I expect Lebron to be better in 3 years but not the same. And to say Kobe won't be mentioned in the breath of LeBron James in 3 years is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overrating LeBron.

Please. LeBron has proven to be 100% better then he was made out to be. Don't beleive me? Ask the Pistons. Can't beleive you are knocking LeBron like that just because you are high on Kobe. You can give both their due. It's ok Purist Same with the people who are saying Kobe won't be in the same breath with Lebron. You people act like Kobe's game is slowing down or something.
