I'd pick Kobe over Bron anyday, because Kobe plays defense
because he plays like a large point guard. it's not like it's some kind of crazy thing to say--it's the comparison that most commentators make ALL THE TIME.

Kobe is an extremely selfish player on the court and a prima donna off the court, all of which leads to his team mates not respecting him and being unwilling to give it the extra 10% when necessary (not that he passes to them much anyway--you're DEAD WRONG about him getting his team mates involved in the playoffs; in a lot of those games, it was the same old ball hog kobe). and odom is better than anyone lebron's got, so don't even go there. jordan won 6 with pippen and a bunch of schwag, so if kobe's so great he ought to be able to at least get into round 2 of the playoffs with odom on his team.

lebron was runner up in MVP voting this year at age 21. kobe has NEVER been ranked so highly by GMs and others who study the game for a living.
