Kobe is easily an all-time Top 5 player - LeBron and Wade won't ever crack Top 30.

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
