Funny it didn't occur to 'em after LeBron shut him down in the 4th qtr and nailed the game sealing jumper in his face to pull off a great come from behind victory against LA abt a month ago.

The Kobe vs MJ BS also had a similar pattern. The polls only appeared when Kobe was on some high(the 40 point streak in 02-03, the 81 point game and 4 straight 50+ games last season). Thankfully he never won any of 'em.

Also, great point on how LeBron doesn't really have a "GUY" for him in the media. Kobe's got his share of detracters, but has far more guys willing to pump him up in the media 24/7. All LeBron has is Skip Bayless.

they had an 8 question kobe/lebron poll at the end of december.

and maybe you haven't noticed the timing of all of the espn polls. they're usually associated with an actual story.
