“LeBron James has surpassed Kobe Bryant…”
May 20, 2009 at 3:02 am 14 comments
Finally! Someone with some credibility comes out of the woodwork and tells it like it is. Yes, it is true, LeBron James is the best player in the world and he has the opportunity to become the greatest player ever.
No more of that damn Kobe talk. Kobe’s this, Kobe’s that. Kobe is the next Jordan. Stop! Kobe Bryant is a great player and the best pure scorer in the game today. However, LeBron James is better than Kobe, hands down.
Jerry West was recently reported as saying that LeBron has in fact surpassed Kobe, and West was the guy who drafted the 18-year-old Bryant. Oh, and as far as Jerry West having credibility, the dude is the silohuette for the NBA…
Let’s not get it confused anymore, LeBron is above Kobe. And, when LeBron grabs his first title this June, all those Kobe fans should quiet down just a bit.
When it’s all said and done, LeBron James will have been the best player to ever play in the NBA and he’ll probably have made the most money than anyone to ever play in the NBA (yea, Jordan too). You heard it here.

Well said.. Lebron is better than Kobe, stats prove this. But no one compares to Jordan yet. I give lebron another 6 years to see what he accomplished before you make a Jordan Comparison.

Man if he’s so good why is he at home? Sucks to know if he’s better than KOBE, why was Lebron outs By the Magic? The West is a way harder division, than the EAST!!! Guess adding you to the KOBE HATER Wagon!!!!

Jorge,
LeBron is at home because they lost a series with the Orlando Magic. LeBron James lost that particular series because the Orlando Magic, as a team, were better than the Cleveland Cavaliers, as a team. Basketball is NOT a one-on-one game, it’s a team game. Therefore, the better TEAM (the Magic in this case) prevailed over the Cavaliers. If you took LeBron and put him one-on-one with ANY player from the Magic, he would win everytime. However, when it comes to team against team, LeBron doesn’t have the right supporting cast at this point in his career. Remember, it took Jordan seven years.
As for Kobe: Sure the West is a tougher division but can you please remind me who won the NBA Finals last year? Oh okay, so it IS possible that the East win the title. Kobe has a damn good team in LA, far better than LeBron’s team in Cleveland. Now whether you want to take that into account or not is up to you, but I know for a fact that the Cavs aren’t at home because of how LeBron played in the Finals.
When it comes down to it, it’s about opinion. Some side with Kobe, some side with LeBron, some even both. But when you ask me my opinion: I’ll take a guy that threatens averaging a triple-double (LeBron) over a guy that scores 35 per and doesn’t pass (Kobe)
2009 Statistics:
Bryant – 26.8 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 4.9 APG, 1.5 SPG, 0.4 BPG, 46%
James – 28.4 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 7.2 APG, 1.7 SPG, 1.1 BPG, 49%
Kobe is good but LeBron is better.

The only reason why Lebron has been able to get so many rebounds is because he’s 6′ 9, 250 lbs.

shaeblog,
well put i hate when ppl alwayz try to say that kobe is better, who has the rings and all that, but never realize why he does, i try to explain to my friends that kobe just has a better team behind him but they never listen. if both players were switched and placed on the others team, it would prove that kobe couldnt go anywhere with the cavs and James would have the rings

Hell yea fam! There is no way Nash should have beat him out 4 MVP those 2 years! He scored 81 pts n 1 game & had like 8 straight games of 40 dat same year but we all know why Kobe didn’t win MVP! Anyway, Kobe will be the G.O.A.T. when it’s all said & done! Stay tuned Bron-Bron Witnesses! Witness Jelly Bean win his 5th title and Bron-Bron will still have zero!

I do sometimes wonder if there was some bias in the voting, but I think the only reason why Kobe wasn’t chosen as MVP those years was because our team wasn’t quite the most favored to win the NBA title, while Tim Duncan and Steve Nash were.

While I am a Laker fan, I will try to be fair with all 3 (MJ, KB, LBJ):
People keep saying that Kobe couldn’t win without Shaq. And now i’ve even heard some say he couldn’t win his 4th without Pau Gasol. And it’s true. With that said, however, Michael Jordan could not (do not fool yourselves Bulls fans) win a championship without Scottie Pippin and (I hate to say it) Dennis Rodman. And in the same way, LeBron definitely can’t win without Mo Williams and Anderson Varajao. It remains to be seen whether he can win a ring even with them along with Delonte and Shaq.
I’ve also noticed that many MJ and LBJ fans only get behind their statistics to claim they’re the best. This can be dangerous. Guys like Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were incredible in their heyday, but as much as I love KAJ, even I recognize that neither could be considered the best.
I think a major factor in why Michael is considered the best (which-so far-I agree with) is because of his size. Same with Kobe. Both are at 6 ‘6’ and weigh less than 220 lbs. So it’s natural for them not to get as many rebounds. However, at 6 ‘9’, weighing 250 lbs (with a pretty lean body) LeBron has more power and can beat most forwards (and some small centers) to rebounds.
