QS, StartX5's arguments are as good as Chuck Hayes, freethrow. I haven't seen a single post where he took the time to thoroughly explain or support his argument. He's simply a hater with his blinders on.

I do appreciate what Lebron has done for the Cavs but he has a long way to go in terms of matching the accomplishments Kobe has done regardless of whoever superstar, allstar, scrub etc he has played with. Fact of the matter is, Kobe has three rings while Lebron only has an eastern conference Championship. One can say that he could have never won anything without Shaq but that argument does not hold water since Shaq hasn't won a championship either without playing with another superstar (D. Wade).

Kobe is where he's at right now because of the team he's playing for and because of his dedication and love for the sport. In my opinion he is currently the basketball player with the greatest skill set with a killer instinct comparable to MJ while Lebron James being not too far behind him.
