I believe that LeBron James is the best player in the NBA, as of now. I don't understand why everyone thinks Kobe Bryant is better.

Kobe is amazing, but it's just that LeBron has no one to help him on offense except Ben Wallace and the Big Man, Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

Wallace, however, is more of a defensive-minded player and Ilgauskas is just not persistent enough.

LeBron puts up 30 points, eight assists, and eight boards a night. No other player in the game does that!  

He isn’t even the point guard!

Kobe is also very good, but he doesn't put up the same amount of points, assists, or boards. He may have led his team to the playoffs, but he has help from Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom.

LeBron led his team to the finals last year with no one helping him but Gibson.

Kobe has gotten to the finals in the past, but only when he had Shaq.

LeBron’s stats are better, and to me so are his leadership skills!
