Kobe vs. Lebron by Isa Bey


Kobe vs. Lebron



In the extraordinary world of professional basketball, everyone is great, yet some our far greProxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 er than others. And in this dog eat dog free market capitalistic society, there is always the question 'who is the best basketball player of our day.' Vitamin water even had a great debate over who the best player of our day was, and the two that were given the most attention were Lebron James, number 23 on the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Kobe Bryant, number 24 on the Los Angeles Lakers. These are both amazing players, but only one can be crowned the best.

Representing the east-side, standing six-feet eight inches tall, 250 pounds and drafted from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, we have 'the chosen one' Lebron James. And representing Los Angeles, not necessarily the West, standing six-feet six inches tall, weighing in at 205 pounds, we have a veteran of the game, the Black Mamba Kobe Byrant. The Lebron against Kobe match%2Proxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 p is like the Magic Johnson versus Larry Bird  of the twenty-first century. 

Kobe Bryant, veteran of modern day basketball, has spent thirteen unforgettable years in the NBA. In the late night 90's the Kobe-O'Neal duo was a seemly unstoppable force on the Los Angeles Lakers. However the Young Gun, Lebron James, led a team of Underdogs to the playoffs,all while carrying every players weight on his shoulder. In a survey drafted by ESPN four out of seven experts said Lebron will finish his career with more rings than Kobe and that he is a better player. Moreover seven out of the seven judges said that Lebron would finish with more MVP titles than Kobe. But things are not all bad for Bryant, six of the seven  judges said Kobe was the heir to Michael Jordan, and five of the six experts voted that Kobe would beat Lebron in a one on one. But who is the better basketball player all around? I ll leave that up to the reader?
