Time will tell who's the better player. If lebron can win 5 rings or more I would say hes the better player (Based on his insane stats/efficiency/production). But if he can't then Kobe will be the better player.
Lebron only needs to win one more ring with a Finals MVP to be better than Kobe. They'd be tied at two a piece then. Sidekick rings don't factor into this comparison unless you want to compare Lebron to Shaq(the guy owns three of Kobe's rings).
MJ also took Kwame Brown with the number 1 pick. MJ also wanted to draft Joe Wolf over Horace Grant/Scotty Pippen. MJ is also the one running the Bobcats into the ground.
that schit dont count if m.j didnt want horace grant or pippen on his team he would of been had them traded

As of now, Kobe because 5 is better than 1 no matter how you look at it.
But the future can change things if Lebron can keep it up with the wins and championships. However, he's been extremely lucky to play injury free as of yet. Will an injury or two or age or deterring athleticism slow him down? Or will he remain the same in years to come and keep winning? Those are questions we can answer when his career is said and done.
But as of now in this very second, it's Kobe because he accomplished more and 5 is better than 1.
]I feel that this is a DRAMATICALLY under discussed comparison[/b], PARTICULARLY here on this message board where everyone's interests are so diverse. Part of the problem is that very few people are big enough fans of these two to insert the player where they otherwise don't belong.
I just wished some of you had the balls to bring up the hard hitting and original comparison's like me here with my Lebron and Kobe thread. You losers are stuck on the same old trendy BS like "Was Cliff Robinsons 1988 NIT all tournament team selection merited?"
It's hard to decide between these two players either way you go.. OP is a ******
