3 strait finals. 1 mvp 2fmvp for kobe, 2 mvp and prolly 2 fmvp for lebronboth 3x all star 3xallnba1st 3x alld1st

[SamuraiSWISH]

If LeBron wins a ring this year, with FMVP then you have to go with him ... if not it remains to be Kobe. Both took their team to 3 straight Finals. LeBron had a historically pathetic Finals showing in 2011, however. He won 2x MVPs, Kobe should've won it in 2010.

Lebron is the better player in every aspect.

[SyRyanYang]

Lebron still got a final series to play but the edge goes to Lebron unless he chokes big time. Comes from a Kobe stan.

If Lebron accomplished such feat at Cleveland I will choose him over Kobe, but no... he joined motherfken SUPERSTARS Wade, and Bosh.

I'll take the unselfish player that can coexist with other superstars on his team

You think Kobe should have won the regular season MVP in 2010...?

I view MVP of the entire season to be including regular and post season play ...

I'm not an idiotic member of the press.

Right, LeBron stunk it up against Boston for sure, especially in the last couple of games, but he was better than Kobe throughout the rest of the season.

I still say LeBron has been the best player in the league since '09. '10 is debatable, '11 is VERY debatable because of the finals debacle.

As for the topic, LeBron... no question. At his peak and the way he's currently playing, he's simply better than any version Kobe. I don't need individual accolades or rings to validate that.

Right, and Kobe was clearly better in the playoffs. An MVP of an entire season should be accumulative. The playoffs is a part of that season. Playoff dominance is more impressive to me.

LeBron 2009, 2012, 2013 MVP

So who was your 2011 MVP?

LeBon was playing like the MVP until the Finals.

Rose was shit against LeBron and the Heat.

Dirk had a great playoff run but his regular season was reserved, prob due to his December injury. What I mean by reserved is that he played like a mistake-free QB (Flacco, pre-2007 Brady) rather than your gun-slinging Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers who were majority of the time the best QB whenever they step on the field. In a way, you can say Dirk reserved his elevated game for the playoffs.

[Kurosawa0]

Lebron and its not even close.
