arguments you CAN'T make for kobe being better than lebron:
scoring- kobe's a better shooter, lebron is a better scorer. lebron leads the league in scoring, and shoots a better FG%.
clutchness - lebron has a few game winners against the wiz, and a memorable performance in game 5 against the pistons last year.
kobe has some clutch games with SHAQ (which doesn't count because i can assure you with my research, shaq did most of the work in those games). kobe stillhasn't proven that he can lead a team past the 1st round of the playoffs yet.
passing- lebron drives and kicks, and sees people open that not many players in the league can see. kobe is passing more this season, but lebron's stillhas him up on assists.
playing in the west and playing tougher teams- this one drives me nuts. the WEST DOES NOT PLAY DEFENSE. u think lebron's numbers are ridiculous now,imagine him playing in the west, where basketball is more uptempo. he'd probably average 35 a game like it's nothing.
defense- okay, this one you might be able to make because kobe was once selected onto the defensive 1st team. but REAL laker fans know his D is overrated andthat he isn't a SHUT DOWN DEFENDER. lebron shut down kobe last night late in the 4th and is continuing to get better w/ D. i'd still give kobe the nodhere, but lebron is closer than you guys wanna think.
and the rings argument don't count either. shaq was way more an important factor on that squad than kobe.
