the truth of these players exists in a comparison of what happens
in the vacuum of their absence.

Lebron left the Cavs and they went from 61 WINS to 19 wins (lottery)

the Lakers have been a lottery team last 3 yrs WITH KOBE,
now he's gone..

and the Lakers without him hogging the ball for 30+ shots
are beating GREAT teams..

they beat the Hawks IN ATL
and they beat the 2 MVP Warriors.. and are .500 for the first time in years after 6 games

Also, LeBron really talking up Kyrie Irving, even says he he should be part of league MVP discussion.
KOBE WOULD NEVER SAY THAT ABOUT ANYBODY BUT HIMSELF

i think that pretty much sums up the impact of these two players.

LeBRON much < Kobe

The Kobe stans will disagree, yes.
