48MoH: Creationism vs. Evolution: Spurs get front row look at the Kobe-Lebron debate

[Rummpd]

Lebron may be the best player in the NBA, but the bottom line is the ring. Kobe's got 5, Lebron 0. Fair or unfair, championships are the mark for true greatness in all sports.

Kobe has 4 rings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He has only been the "man" on team also!

[ShoogarBear]

And when the Cavs fail at the Championship for a second time in a row with the best record in the NBA, what excuses will be made then?

Turn it around. What if LeBron wins it this year, while Kobe doesn't despite having tons more talent around him?

Lebron is head and shoulders above Kobe. People will argue that he hasn't won a ring despite having the best record and that is due to having mediocre talent. The cavs have won more games despite having the talent of a 40 something win team at best and that is because of Lebron's greatness and his ability to elevate the level of his teamates. Kobe on the otherhand when he has had the same type of talent Lebron has had right now couldn't even get out of the first round that should already speak volumes. Lebron overachieves with the talent he has on his roster while Kobe doesn't do that.

I will even add to the last post and say Lebron is a force like Duncan and Shaq were during their primes. Just like those 2 guys you could put him on any team in the league and they would become a 50 win team. Thats something even prime Kobe couldn't do

Kobe is still one of the best players in the NBA, but LeBron IS the BEST player in the NBA right now. Kobe is starting to decline, and LeBron is still getting better.

Honestly, I will be surprised if the Cavs don't win it all this year.

Lebron is better but he needs a ring to prove it or validate it ...

No excuses if Kobe doesn't win it all...it's a failure plain and simple.

My point is that both Kobe and LeBron have ample firepower on their team to win it all...it's on them if they don't.

Cavs have more talent same with boston but i like our starters better + Odom

There are 4 teams now that not winning a le would be a complete failure for.
