This is simple. Who's hands do you want the ball in when a must win game is on the line? Kobe. He has that killer instinct, he rarely makes a mental mistake when it comes down to the game winning possession. However, I've seen Lebron pass the ball to a non-offensive player when he should have taken the shot or simply mismanage the final possession. I don't care if the guy is wide open or not, you are the scorer, you get paid to win games. Take the **** shot. Amongst other things, until Lebron develops that killer instinct, he will always be right behind Kobe.

He was the ad campaign for those shoes so they are his shoes.
And a song by the Red hot chili peppers is something no one has heard of?

Wow. Just wow.

i bet if i start a thread right now with "Like Mike" lyrics and that Magic Johnson songs lyrics more people are going to say Gatorade commercial than Red Hot Chili Pepper song.....i could be wrong but i dont think i am

also a pic of the converse and any jordans people are going to say air jordans and uggghhh purple and gold converse....

HMMMMMMM.......... What single thing does all 3 of those great have that JAMES doesnt... Ill give you a hint it goes on a finger and it is a certain title that all the teams are in strive of... its a championship ring. Not yet if he ever leads his team to the championship and wins then this can continue.

the end of last season and this season lebron has started to develop that instinct....its easy for a guy like kobe to shoot the shot. thats what hes always done. lebron likes to make other guys better and get his team involved. the last couple seasons lebron figured a guy wide open is better than him shooting a shot with 3 guys on him.....

if those other players hit those shots we wouldnt even be mentioning it.

the game against the pistons i think gave him a pass for all those other times. if that wasnt killer instinct i dont know what is

Do you really wanna reach any further on this conversation //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

You wanna know why that is? Michael Jordan is the most recognizable face in sports. Why? Marketing. The media. I guess you probably believe everything you read. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Like this has anything to do with which player is better anyways.

He's been in the league for 4 years, give it time. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif And he did lead his team to the finals, they just fell apart at the time they needed it most. LeBron will be there again, almost guaranteed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Kobe has passed the ball up too, but obviously to a player that can score. Not a player whose only purpose is to be a defensive presence. If you don't think Kobe makes his teammates better you are gravely mistaken.

Lebron also got shut down by the Spurs. That wouldn't have happened to Kobe. The Cavs would have also won the series in 5 games if Lebron had made the right choices in the last minute of 2 of those games (detroit series). I don't recall specifics, but I know he cost his team at least 1 game for sure, if not 2.

i just stopped trying to PROVE jordan was the best because i thought we came to the conclusion that its not possible to prove it either way. so that discussion was over. or at least i stopped arguing it. my opinion is that he is yours is he isnt.
