i dont know much about basketball but aren't kobe and lebron completely different players? play in different positions with different jobs and i think lebron gets a lot more assists than kobe and also kobe has a very good team that plays to his strengths, lebron had an average team playing to his strengths and now has to share the top player mantel with wade and bosh so its a bit different

Yes they are different players and do different things. Kobe has an amazing 3 point shot and hits them from deep more often. Lebron is more physical and drives to the basket. If I had to say who's best I probably would say kobe but lebron is just as big commercially. He has played in some suprisingly poor teams that's why he hasn't racked up titles but he's been a starting all star a number of times which means he is round about one of the top 5 players at any one time and he has been for a number of years. He is playing for the heat now who spent big to get him and another good player in draft, and he and dwayne wade have been tearing sh!t up this year. The heat have a chance of winning something but they have a history of falling short.

As a pointless side note, if I had to compare Liverpool to an NBA team I would say they were the Boston Celtics (incidentally who I support) as they have the greatest history in basketball along with the Lakers but fell away whilst the Lakers just got stronger and stronger racking up titles to match the Celtics record Haul. But Celtics have brought it back recently with some fantastic young players, future of Liverpool?

i live in cleveland, ohio. and it kills me that liverpool now endorses him. he is the most hated man in the nba after last summer when he pulled his "i'm taking my talents to south beach" shenanigans. i come from a biased point of view, but i'm telling the truth when i say he is the most divisive personality in professional basketball. is that good for lfc?

I think we're looking down the road of both parties looking to cash in on each others names on both sides of the globe where each probably isnt that well known.

that does sound very similar to us man utd. maybe you should stop supporting sport teams and give them a chance of winning whistle i prefer lebron to kobe mainly because i dont like the lakers (purely because they have been annoyingly successful over the last few years and i didnt want to be a glory hunter when picking a nba team).

You won't find many Manchester fans in Manchester either.

Frankly, if they wanted to go big in Asia, Kobe would have been the better choice as he has a large following in China (not that I follow the NBA, but Kobe's name/face/etc comes up a lot more than LeBron's does over here).

Lebron must have some connection with the owners.
