Kobe vs Lebron

Who ya got in a fight Kobe or Lebron…well if they were in a real fight head to head, there would be some nice odds. I think that Lebron would be the favorite going in so we will put his odds at 1:1, but Kobe’s odds would not be bad they would probably be somewhere around 3:1. So who would I take, thats easy Lebron. Lebron just looks like more of a fighter then Kobe, he looks a little tougher and would not go down after one punch.

Now that, that is all cleared up who would you have on the court. As of right now again I would have to go with Lebron. Let me tell you why, I understand that Kobe has three rings, but how many does he have without the diesel, I will tell you 0…a goose egg. If he wants to score 40 points a game and keep losing then he is doing the right thing, but if he wants to win another championship he will have to start distributing the ball.

Now he is starting to do that this year and thats why they are playing much better. If he keeps this up they will most likely be in the playoffs. But I have a feeling that if they go into a little slump in the middle of the season, like I think they might without Andrew Bynum, that he will feel he has to score 40 a game to keep his team in it.

Now Lebron on the other hand is younger and has never had a man like Shaq in the middle to open up the entire floor. A little side note about Shaq, he is one of the top 4 most dominant men to ever play this game. Because without him the Lakers do not win 3 NBA titles and without him the Heat do not win there title. There are people out there who say that was Dwanye Wades year and I am not taking anything away from Wade but Shaq opened the whole court for Wade to do what he did. How have the Heat done the past two years with Shaq being injured…I am just saying!

But back to Lebron, if he had someone with half as much size and talent as Shaq he would also have 3 rings already. I no he did not win a title yet but he has gotten his team to one more then Kobe has in the PS (post Shaq) era. I think that Lebron will lead his team to another championship series in the next 3 years but they will lose there this one because the west is just to good. But Lebron will win his first NBA title before Kobe wins his 4th, and that my friends is something that you can bet on!
