kobe among offensive guards
Lebron among forwards
Defensively ron artest
( just youtube artest against utah saying no layups)

these guys also have strong will, are tough as well. Physically Lebron and Artest are more intimidating than kobe. The guys also have a mean streak
I wanted to add shaq but he was the most dominant in the past but not currently, i thought about KG but I've seen him get pushed around. Tim duncan I considered but I haven't seen fear in the opponents eyes because of him and I haven't seen a mean streak from him. I wanted to add dwight but theres more to come from him plus he has a baby face. But I wouldnt argue over anyones inclusion of him or any other person thats physically huge or can overwhelm their opponent

NBA players think it's Kobe. There actually was a survey about this in Sports Illustrated and Kobe was the overwhelming choice. He got 35% of the votes. Players in spots 2-5 (KG, Shaq, LeBron and Dwight) COMBINED for 24% of the votes.

Ron Artest.

Artest's Dad was a professional boxer.

I'm put my money on Ron-Ron against anyone in the league.

I used to think KG..until ZAZA stood him up.


defiantly Ron Artest. Nate Robinson also would eat anyone alive. so would Stack.
