mmm right now..still Kobe all da way to the T....maybe cuz of his seniority on NBA or cuz his three championship titles while LeBron has nothin yet (well rookie of the year). Well the thing is that LeBron still very young while Kobe could be on his lastest seasons, but who cares Kobe or LeBron..... they are both excellent players to enjoy watching.
