THE SENSELESS DEBATE

I guess for the last year or so there has been this senseless and by all accounts pretty dumb debate. The debate is who is better Kobe or Lebron James? Websites,  newspapers, television shows, bars, and even our locker room all take part in the debate. It  makes me laugh because comparing the two is like saying which country is better Belgium or Armenia. Last season all NBA players, coaches, and general managers were polled on who was better and the winner was?  You should know the answer, that’s right Kobe Bryant. Kobe is easily the best player in the game right now and might be the GREATEST OF ALL TIME yes I said it, he might be the greatest of all time better than MJ, Magic, Wilt, and Larry Bird. Think about it for a second what is it that Kobe can’t do or can’t do well? What can he do? Score: check Defend: check Makes his team better : check Clutch: for sure. Out of all the things Kobe does well (and its a lot of things) he has that one thing that every player wished they had : the killer where at the end of the game he will make the play for his team to win.  Kobe is a better scorer, shooter, defender.  One thing Ican say about Lebron that he has that’s better than Kobe is that Lebron is a better athlete.  He is unreal in that category. I heard people say I can’t be a Kobe fan because for things that happened off the court.  How stupid is that ?  We are asking who is the better player not who do I want to be friend of.  If all truths come out about famous people how many would we actually still like? What hasn’t Kobe accomplished ? Scoring title, all-defensive team, all-Nba, MVP and has 3 titles.  Here is my top 10 players to ever live.
