Who's better, Kobe or Lebron James?

based on achievements, kobe is better than lebron.

right now, kobe is the king of the NBA (individually, that is). but in seasons to come, i think lebron james could surpass many records set. he's still young and very strong and athletic. probably he'll get his first ring in his 6th season in the NBA

one right now in the NBA no one can be compair to another person. James is a great young player who in a few years will be unstapable. Still right now Kobe is that guy that no one can stop. Two you are leaveing out people like Wade, in this topic I mean he is just over all outstanding, and what about Dirk

One word. KOBE BRYANT. Okay maybe two, but you get my drift. This question will not be debateable for atleast another 2 years. Kobe has 3 rings under his belt, LeBrons only got one 2nd round exit. Yes Kobes been in the league alot longer but the question was "whos better now?" not whos going to be better at the end of their careers. Kobe is the best player in the league right now, and will be for awhile. I may sound like a Anti-James. Not true I am a King fan and I know he will surpass Jordan(yes a very bold statement, I have my fingers crossed)He is unbelievable at his age and is playing better then Jordan and Bryant did at his age. But for right now this is Kobes league.

I prefer LeBRon

Kobe is the better all around player right now. If Lebron doesn't learn to shoot and defend better he will never reach Kobe's talent.

Kobe is still a better player then Lebron James. Lebron James is far away from being the defender that Kobe is, and his scoring can't match Kobe's either. Lebron will probally be better in the future, but as of right now, Kobe is the best player in the leauge.
