well..... welll......welll..... everybody does know that lebron james is a better player in the league but dude give me a break kobe has been in the league for last ten years and he had already proved that he is the best. what the fuct you guys are talking about? just go ahead and compare lebron james with carmelo anthony and other those rookies fellows not with kobe coz he already have three rings and he is dominating in the league. come and talk to me when lebron wins three rings other wise yo mama.................................................................... comparing lebron with kobe is like comparing candle light with sunlight.
