Really simple as that, not sure why people even waste their time trying to compare LeBron or Wade to Kobe?

Here are the indisputable facts:

Kobe
#1 all-time competitor tied with Jordan: assassin mentality
top 3 all-time clutch player
top 3 all-time well-rounded player: offense + defense
team leader and leads by example with max effort
tough as nails, plays through all injuries

LeBron
not clutch
not a leader
primadonna
selfish
soft

Wade
two good years
not a leader, too quiet
energy level fades
lets injuries affect his effort level
