Kobe vs. LeBron

LeBron James and Kobe Bryant have a lot alike. Both are obviously phenomenal basketball players with all the talent and athletic ability in the world. Both can play any position from point guard all the way to small forward and maybe even power forward if it were necessary (and LeBron is so strong he might even be able to pull a Magic Johnson and play a game at center. And both stirred up enormous hype at an early age and then went on to completely justify it with their performances. But as of right now, which player is better? LeBron James is the younger of the two by far but he has done more at his young age than Kobe did, especially considering he doesn’t have Shaquille O’Neal at his side like Kobe did. LeBron basically single-handedly beat a Pistons team that has been on top of the east with monumental performance in game five of the 2007 playoffs. Kobe Bryant on the other hand has three championships. Well hopefully we will see who is a better athlete and has a better team if they meet in the championship of this years playoffs.
