Kobe is better than any player in the league right now

KOBE=MVP

[DEEP3CL]

Only thing LeBron is missing is the passion to obliterate his opponents.
LeBron even said himself he doesn't have it.

Love ur avatar jordanesque funny as hell

Newbles doing everything he can to sign a long term with the lakers rofl

Hah, maybe, but this man speaks the truth.

[Squirrel Boy]

Kobe is God.

[eckoner]

He said what he's supposed to say, and it happens to be the truth

[Dexmor]

The fact that he said shows you how close it is though. You don't hear anybody saying Kobe is better then Wade or Pierce because it's obvious. Lebron is Kobe's only challenge or and the only player that comes close. I believe Kobe is better then Jordan so of course he beats out Lebron imo but Lebron is right there. If they all played together at the same time the arguements would be split 3 ways and when it's over there will be a new holy trinity. Kobe and Lebron are gonna push out Magic and Bird.

tell us something we don't know ira

[Dexmor]

Doesn't saying it burn his bridge in Clevland? He only got 10 days from us. True or not why say it unless he was asked.

[hermes]

maybe he doesn't want to go back to cleveland

and he also said if you ask lebron he'll tell you the same thing
its sort of like saying the world is round, whose going to be mad at that

noobie knows wassup

[LLcoleJ]

I dont think for one minute that Newble is selling out LBJ. He is stating his opinion and based on 1st hand knowledge he knows LBJ would feel the same. LBJ says so publicly many times.

No shots, or barbs or anything like that. It was respect shown to Kobe and Ira made a point to bring up LBJ because he has probably heard him say that on mancy occasions.

[CITYOFANGELSX3]

Im suprised he would say that after being with us 1 game. After how long he's been with lebron. But he's right.

i'm sure he's seen kobe play before, this wasn't based off of one game

[Slava]

This is a case of Shaq-flu!

[islander009]

Ira is showing his respect to kobe. he was just restating what lebron had stated soo many times. Newble wasnt saying anything to disrespect Lebron. He knows Lebron is good, and they both know KObe has that killer instinct. Hope we can keep him for the rest of the season, heard he is a good locker room vet.

Like NBA players know anything? What do they know?

The real objective opinions belong to nerds who create little statistical formulas in their mom's basement in New Jersey. I'm talking about John Hollinger.
