Michael Jordan's Two Heirs to his NBA throne Kobe Bryant and Lebron James have battle for the NBA spotlight since he MJ left the NBA. (for good) they both have dazzled us with 50 point games, amazing dunks, and buzzer beaters but the questioned still remained who is the best player in the league? Seven years after King James entered the League Kobe is still showing people that he is still the man especially when it comes to the postseason. Lebron has the speed, size, and courts vision that the NBA has never seen before he treats the Regular season like he still playing high school ball. he bullies his way through the lane and will abuse anyone who dares to jump with him (ask James Johnson) and his Jump shot has come a long way since he came into the league. The Problem with him has been his teams ability to not put the players around him (something Kobe went though too) so that they can win in the postseason we all know the stats since they went to the NBA Finals 4 years ago they have two 2nd round exits & 1 shocking lose to Orlando Magic in last years Conference Finals. But even Michael Jordan had to deal with the Bad Boys & Kobe had a tough time with the Phoenix suns a couple of seasons ago. But it seems where Lebron fails at (Meaning the postseason) Kobe seems to excel he has treated the last 2 postseasons (both Finals appearances) with amazing perfomances concisitanly proving that he is still the best of the bes.t Not only does his still posses that killer instinct. (that thing King James seems to be lacking right now) he seems practically unguardable in the playoffs (Just ask Utah and Phoenix) making one unbelievable shot after another and sharing the basketball with his teammates (something he failed to do on a consistent basis a couple of seasons ago) that has led to winning championships. But then there's this the Lakers have been beaten by the Cavs in 7 of their last 9 matchups and of their 13 career games Lebron has out scored Bryant in 8 of those games, However Kobe those has the edge in championships 4-0. Maybe one day we can see Kobe & Lebron battle in the NBA finals that way we can finally answer the Question Who is better 24 or 23? and they better hurry cause Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant & Deron Williams GOT NEXT
