I dont even understand the unwillingness to admit kobe's greatness.

Hate the guy, but to be so stupid to ignore the game of basketball, which kobe dominates and has for a long time, is just ridiculous.

He has two very solid big men, but scoring wise, he is alone on his team (Fischer, Blake, are you joking??).

I am not a lakers fan, not even a kobe fan, I am an NBA fan, and there is no question who is on the top of the list. IT IS KOBE.

Now maybe if you are talking athletic potential, Lebron still has plenty, and is a beast, but this is his 8th year??, how long before he makes it happen?

If Lebron is NBA finals MVP this year in a Heat championship, Lebron still doesnt reach kobe status, he just makes a mark on the way to strivign for the dominance that kobe has shown.
