    Obama, Im Ashamed!!! Lebron Awday

  • Jackie Moon

    The only way I know to score without the ball is to be the nearest guy to the opponent when he accidentally scores the ball for your team. Maybe Lebron is really good at that …

    @Jackie Moon…: perfect!!! (as usual)

    listen up, as I will only say this once: In the not-so-distant-future this debate will be pointless. LBJ will be the greatest player to ever lace em up. Believe that. He is nadal, kobe’s federer.

    @jay…:he is Ben Johnson. Kobe is Carl Lewis.

    *smh* People refuse to give Kobe his do props. The man is playing with a busted shooting hand, bad knees and tendonitis, still up there in the top three at age 30. Come one now. And to the idiot talking about Kobe’s assists he had 45 throughout a 5 game stretch, so that hushes that end of his criticisim doesn’t it.

    And don’t get mad at Obama because he knows what’s he’s talking about. Go ask MJ who he thinks is the best player in the NBA right now and he’ll tell you KOBE BEAN BRYANT. I like how people assumeKobe will descend as his career goes along. MJ didn’t desecnd until he quit at 34, and he still came out of retirement and put up 50. Rober Parish wa saksed what recent player he likes to watch he only mentioned Tim Duncan, and guess who KOBE BRYANT. Kobe has the top selling Jersey out there right now, so whether people like it or not he’s still shinning.

    Kobe’s work ethic is so much more intense than everyone elses, hence he can play through a boat load of injuries. LeBron and others sit out with sprained ankles. And LeBron is a great player in the making no doubt, I won’t lie about that, but people are so infatuated with him it’s crazy. Pushing him ahead of his career too fast. When Kobe wa syoung and people were pushing him a hea dof his career people got upset and start bashing him, but LeBron can have a slew or cheerleaders egging it on when it comes to him.

    Kobe just dropped 61 at MSG, and people are still throwing salt on his performance because they keep saying how the knicks are a bad team But they are far more improved as in to which LeBrob had 50 points agaist em last year. They were horrible last year. It irks people’s nerves to give the man his props, he was robbed of an MVP in 05 and in 01 because of personal hang-ups people have with him and his personal life. Sat that aside and recognize the guy for what he does on the court.

    KOBE for 61 !!!!

  • Kev

    Until Lebron scores 81 in a game…until Lebron scores 40+ in 5 consecutive games…until Lebron wins a championship…until Lebron wins a dunk contest..thats when we’ll give you LBJ freaks a chance to open your mouths…ya’ll forgot about that forth quarter at the olympics when the Spaniards were about to cause an upset…who restored order,Kobe or Lebron? please sign off your answer with one record that LBJ has broken/set in the NBA.

    On an individual basis, Kobe’s better… LeBron a better teamplayer, though.

  • jdot8181

    What about Wade his numbers are great too team is playing better

  • Lan

    To KEV’S previous post on the 3rd…LeBron James is the youngest player in history to reach 12,000 points. Of course, I feel that Kobe would have did that if he was by himself on the Lakers the whole time. Also, KEVIN DURANT is going to smash that in another 3-4 years (assuming he doesn’t see extensive time off).

    yea you tell em president obama! lol. yea lebron no championships no 60 point games no finals wins 1 trip to the finals to kobes 6. cant shoot the ball. travels. pretty much plays point guard constantly has the ball in his hands and thats why he has better stats and he really only has had this one good season when kobe pretty much has not had an offseason between 07 08 and 08 09. look for the lakers to repeat this year because the greatest player in the world is on their team
