What a deush. He's lucky he's playing with KG and Ray Allen.

[Butter Bandit]

Yeah, I caught this the other day. The guy is full of ****.

[methimpikehoses]

Never liked him, now I can detest him.

[Tygerwoody]

The best player in the world right now is Lebron James. I'm willing to bet within the next year Kobe Bryant himself will say that.


I'm sure I'll get "all he does is muscle in!!!!" or "he doesn't have a jumper like Kobe!!!!". Both are pretty true. However, he does what he needs to do within the rules of basketball to win the game(or at least try, his team blows). At the end of the day, if you stick Lebron on a team and stick Kobe on a team with the exact same talent, Lebron's team will win most of the time. To me, thats the better player.

[methimpikehoses]

No, Kobe's still better.

[Tygerwoody]

No, Kobe's still better.
He's not proving it now. He hasn't proved it for a while. Kobe has proven that he can help bring a team to the NBA finals when he gets some help. Lebron did that with NO help at all. There isn't a single player on the Cavs that is above a "C" player. All its going to take is for Lebron to be traded to ANY TEAM IN THE NBA thats not the Cavaliers for his true talent to show.

[Tygerwoody]

Last year I would have said Kobe is the better player. Not anymore. Kobe got passed.



And BTW. To those that think Lebron will stay with the Cavaliers. Heres a news flash. The Cavaliers are ran by a bunch of retards. They won't have enough money to keep him. They will use up all their money on worthless talent like they have been. Lebron's contract will be the largest contract ever signed by any NBA player in history. I guarantee it.

[methimpikehoses]

What do you mean, he's not proving it now? Did you see him play last year? The guy's second only to Jordan! He is the greatest offensive weapon to play in the last 10 years, and he can pass and play D as well.

I think Kobe's a prick, and I hate LA, but you gotta give the guy respect. He has 3 rings more than LeBron. Once Lebron gets a ring, we can talk, but Kobe is unequivocally the best player in the league, period.

Kobe shouldn't be in the same breathe as Jordan in regards to overall talent. Kobe's game is entirely too spotty. Sure he's a great player. In all honesty, I believe he has a better jumper than Jordan.

Kobe has better defensive pressure than Lebron and a better jumper than Lebron. Thats it and thats all.

And on the topic of rings. Rings are meaningless. Allen Iverson is one of the best basketball players to ever wear a uniform and he will NEVER get a ring. He has always been on bad teams. Rings take an entire team to win. Same with the MVP honors. They both are meaningless in regards to talent.

lol there is no talent on the Denver Nuggets? Iverson is an above average player at best...

You are now back on my Christmas list.

Kareem > all.

Denver definitely has talent. But they are a bad team. They were bad team before Iverson, they were a bad team after him.

Denver has offensive talent individually. Absolutely ZERO defensive talent. They don't know how to play well with each other. The only team player on the entire team(Marcus Camby) they shipped away.

can someone explain to me what happened that was bad.
He got cuffed, then they let him go? says he was "agitated"....
I hate his attitude, but i dont see what happened there that was bad.

[DiscipleDOC]

Apparently, he got a little mouthy with the police in Nevada...

[bob saget]

ok i see, well its not something TERRIBLE i think, any celebrity athlete would probably have some attitude. He didnt get arrested, so thats a big +
