Who is better? To me the answer is an easy one. Lebron James is definitely the best player in basketball.
Lebron is a rare talent that doesn't come along too often. He has the ability to play all 5 positions on the court and play all of them better then almost everyone in the league. He is a walking triple double and virtually unguardable. As much as I dislike him there is no denying the fact that he is the best. If he had any talent around him at all then he would already have a championship or two. When the second best player on your team is only a borderline all star in Mo Williams, then you really don't have much of a chance to win. The Cavs have one superstar and then a bunch of role players. Jordan couldn't win without Pippen, Kobe couldn't win without Shaq, Wade couldn't win without Shaq. In this league you either need two star players or in the Detroit Pistons case a starting 5 of all star caliber players.
Lebron is better then Kobe in almost every way. He is a better passer, rebounder, slasher, and he is more athletic. Kobe is a slightly better shooter and also defender but Lebron has improved on those two things every year since coming into the league and they are a lot closer in those categories then they were a couple years ago. As more years start to go by the gap between these two is going to keep getting bigger and bigger and when it is all said and done Lebron will be considered one of the top 2 players ever, if not the best player ever.
