people overlook lebron as a scorer because he does everything else so well. i mean... in his third year dude averaged 32ppg. kobe;s defense is vastly overrated, and i think lebron is at least as good as him this year. kobe gets the benefit of the doubt from the refs. ive seen him grap and scratch players numerous times every game..and only a fraction of those fouls are actually called. lebron is also smarter than kobe on a basketball court.

kobe isnt even a top 3 player in the NBA. i would chose lebron, duncan, and garnet over KB.
