lebron and kobe...

Lebron James and Kobe Bryant are arguably the two most dominant players in NBA right now. After watching Game 4 of the Rockets and Lakers, my friend and I had conversation centered around the question: Who's better...Lebron or Kobe? We always hear ESPN and TNT NBA analyst imply that Lebron and Kobe are equally dominant but after watching a few of the recent playoff games, it's hard not to say that Lebron surpasses Kobe. Just looking at the stats for the playoffs, Lebron has better numbers Kobe: averaging fewer minutes along with more points per game, more assists, and more rebounds. The Cavs are undefeated in the playoffs beating every team by double digits. The Lakers lost an embarrassing game to the Rockets today. The Rockets had no Tracy McGrady and no Yao Ming and Kobe was held to 15 points.

But numbers and stats set aside, Lebron is doing things on the court that are just jaw-dropping. Don't get me wrong Kobe is good...very good actually but Lebron seems like he's playing ball against a JV squad. I'm usually one to avoid the hype around a player but Lebron is really that good. Just my thoughts...
