Lebron 1, Kobe 0

In the past week it has come to my attention that Lebron James and Kobe Bryant have been in a battle over who is the best in the NBA. Of course anybody who knows me knows that Lebron is my idol, hero, whatever you want to call it. But Kobe is pretty good, too. But one thing you must keep in mind is that Lebron hasn't even turned 23 yet; as a matter of fact he has 23 days until he turns 23 years old.

Now Kobe, on the other hand, has been in the NBA for 10 years and is just being recognized as one of the best. When he was 22 or 23 years old I don't think anybody in the NBA was talking about how he is the best thing to happen to basketball in the 21st century. Also, when Lebron was in his rookie season he was compared to Michael Jordan, the best player in the world to touch a basketball. That is an amazing comparison for a person at such a young age like Lebron was in his rookie year. From that moment on the superstar in the making has done nothing but get better and better; therefore Lebron is better than Kobe in the sense that Lebron is so young and has nothing but good things in his future.
