NBA is back (apparently)

How can you talk head and try to say that stats queen Lebron is better? That's a hater move, dude. No sane person thinks Lebron is better than Kobe. There are 5 rings to prove it. Bring up Shaq all you want but it's not like Jordan, Bird, and Magic were playing with scrubs.

Kobe doesn't get enough respect.

I don't know, I thought King Glorious's post was right on target. He didn't say Kobe wasn't a great talent. But, I can't argue with anything he said.

I don't get the Lebron hate, save his silly behavior last year, but given the accolades he has been receiving since he was about 12, his overall behavior has been incredible. Plus, Kobe could NEVER have taken that Cavs team to the Finals. To me, that was a remarkable achievement that gets completely dismissed.

His initial point is that Kobe is selfish and to me that is unfair to Kobe and is undoubtedly a popular opinion.

And if he is truly a selfish player then that shows that the NBA is a league about individual stars and not team basketball.

And yes LeBron is a great team player...until the finals. And in a society that only remembers the winners long term it is ludicrous to say LeBron is better than Kobe.

Win just one championship. It should be a requirement.
