If you say that Lebron is the better all-around player, why would you want Kobe 100,000 times out of 100,000? I agree, Kobe closes out games like no-other, but is that the end-all, be-all when coming down to the deciding factor as to who is the better player? Lebron's opportunities in 2010 have been severely limited due to the domination that the Cavs have shown against the opposition. It's not me be an apologist for Lebron, but rather the reality of the situation that he's in. This is the year that Lebron has taken his game to a different level. Whether he can keep the momentum in the playoffs is a different story. However, if I was going to start a franchise right now, my pick would be Lebron....100,000 times out of 100,000Originally Posted by JapanAir21
I'm ALWAYS fine with people saying LeBron is a better player, but if I want someone who can make the plays, I'm taking Kobe 100,000 times out of 100,000.Originally Posted by DoubleJs07
What makes Kobe #1? Is it because he won a championship last year? Lebron is the most complete player in the NBA right now...and to me, that makes you the best in the game. At some point you Kobe fans (not saying you JapanAir) have to realize that the torch is going to be passed whether you like it or not. There was a period where Kobe was hands down the best in the NBA...however with Lebron's dominance on both ends of the floor, I think Kobe's time at that top spot has passed.Originally Posted by JapanAir21

IMO he is number 1 still....
And has been, IMO, for past 3-4 years.
LeBron is the better all-around player, he's just as fast, he's stronger, he dominates on both ends, but what separates Kobe from LeBron is Kobe's ability to end a game. I whole-heartedly agree that LeBron is more COMPLETE. LeBron has shown flashes, especially in some of those Detroit series, or against the Celtics, and maybe it's because I get nightmares of facing Kobe, but Kobe, as an opposing fan, scares me more.
