Best of the Best

Today I'm going to tell you why I think LeBron James is THE BEST basketball player in the world today. First of all with no disrespect to Kobe, although I really do not like him I do enjoy watching him play as a player. BUT LeBron James is the very best. Why is he the best? First of all lets evaluate the statistics. Kobe is a scoring machine. He can basically Score at will. LeBron can't do that, yet he still manages to score the points he does, WHILE dishing out 7 assists a game. If we were to take his stats from this season, then we would see that LeBron scored 28 pts a game. If we were to factor in the 7 assists he also put in then he would have contributed to 42 pts every game he played in this season. Kobe never did that. LeBron also brought down 7 rebounds, close to 2 steals per game and a block a game, while leading a team that has less talent than the Lakers to the number one spot in the NBA. Kobe never did that. LeBron led a nearly talentless team to the NBA finals although they did not win. Kobe never did that. It took a mid season trade for Pau Gasol to turn the Lakers' season around last year. He also helped in the push for the Lakers' finals appearance that year. LeBron James is not even 25 yet and is on the verge of receiving his first MVP, while it took Kobe 12 seasons to get his, again no disrespect to Kobe for he is a great player, but this is the truth. Kobe had more of an emrgence into the greatest player in the world. LeBron came into the league and stepped right in to superstardom. Maybe it was the fact that Shaq was with the Lakers, but again this is truth. LeBron is not even in his prime yet, he continues to get bigger and stronger, his jumpshot and free throw shooting continues to improve, and he is only 24. Kobe is 30. I dont know about everyone else, but to imagine a better LeBron James in the future is quite scary.
