Kobe or Lebron?

[Purist]

And Starr, I'm not going to find the quote but you aid that Kareem got the better of Wilt? Wilt was out of the league within 3 years of Kareem entering it, that's a ridiculous comparison.

I think Kareem was better then Wilt. And its not a ridiculous arguement. I think it for other reasons then Kareem getting the better of a Wilt on his way out.

how about you find the quote by the guy that said that Phil Jackson can't coach

That was ridiculous in itself but you know I like picking on you more

And I'm not saying that Kareem beng better then Wilt is ridiculous, I'm saying that saying he got the better of him when he played is.

you're not picking on me you're stalking me for argument. And I think Kareem is better for other reasons.

Simple question. Who do you think is better?

Kobe's defense and perimeter game give him just the slightest edge to me.

Lebron is breaking all the records at his age...since Kobe also came from HS I would definitely go with LeBron...

Kobe wasn't the starter and wasn't in position to break any records, but he still has. LeBron is good no doubt. But Kobe is better then him.

Are u for real? Kobe bryant is the best player in the nba and the second best of all time! hes got it all he can dominate every aspect of the game,he should have won a few mvps by now, hes a freak, lebron is a promising young kid who has really stepped up into a leadership role,but to even compare the two now really is assumptious.

Second best player of all time? Kobe's not even the second best Laker of all time

I don't even know if he's top 5

Magic
Shaq
Kareem
Baylor
West
Wilt
Mikan

All can be easily ranked above Kobe thus far.

Agreed. Kobe is the second best Laker statistically, but all the above you mentioned have legacy's which Kobe is trying to build, you can't name anyone second best anything till their career is done. Kobe will probably be top 10 by the end of his career. And you forgot Wilkes

And you rank Shaq above Kobe on the best Laker list

One of the best Laker Centers but not top 4 Laker of all time, I'd put Shaq somewhere in the top 10 or 15. History will probably put Kobe above Shaq in Laker history though. Because "as a Laker" he has done more then Shaq. Shaq's got his own legacy to climax in Miami and his has already been written across his career. Kobe is still building his legacy. Shaq's has already been written and we'll see how he can climax it.
