Last time I checked.
CNNSI.com also has Kobe over Lebron with similar percentage 69% infavor of Kobe 21% for LBJ.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...x.html?eref=T1
Even well known relentless hater Tim Legeler picked Kobe
http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/...59788&n8pe6c=2
Bill Walton,Plaschke,Marty Burns to name a few who have dogged Kobe in the past have all picked him this year over Lebron.
People needs to stop looking at numbers alone. Watch the games and see how Kobe has totally sacrificed his game for team success. Kobe could easily drop another 30ppg this year and aim for his third consecutive scoring title. But its all clear that he wants what matters the most.

Legler picked Kobe as the guy he'd choose for ONE game. But Legler last night also stated that LeBron is the MVP this season. Just thought I'd point that out.

Please quote yourself where you stated where you understood why Kobe's D dropped off. If you said it then it was only to yourself

This year its picking up again, but its all about your rep and if the media praised lebron for being an amazing defender everyone would begin to watch and notice

Re: ESPN Poll: Who's the best Player Kobe or LeBron
I took your use of the word "couldn't" as he physically could not be that good anymore on defense because of diminishing skill/age...use "chose not to" next time

Well Darizzle in the English language sometimes we use conjunctions. Now couldn't bridges out to could not, and if you had reread that you would perceive the notion i was trying to convey. Kobe has a maximum energy output and he could not output the same amount on defense because of his effort of putting up a million shots on offense.

Ok. So whats your point? The question was asked to establish a consensus and persuasive answer on the never ending debate about whose better right now.
And I never said or implied that Legler picked Kobe for MVP. Just want to point that out as well...

^well, it wasn't obvious what you were trying to say and could have worded it much better, so thanks for the lame sarcasm.

I wasn't trying to make a point; just making mention of it.
