Pivot Points: "Kobe Or LeBron" Is No Debate At All by Hadarii Jones

Scribe Written on November 03, 2009
Harry How/Getty Images In the same manner in which Kobe Bryant was unfairly compared to Michael Jordan in the late 90's, the debate continues with LeBron James being similarly compared to Kobe.

Some fans and pundits have even had the temerity to go as far as saying that James has already surpassed Bryant as a player.

They re-inforce their arguments with statistics and the many milestones that James has accomplished at such an early age. Many of these same milestones are marks that Kobe held until James surpassed them.

There are areas of the game where James holds an advantage over Kobe, most noticeably the physical specimen department, but most arguments are based on the potential of James and not his current accomplishments.

The only problem with gazing into the crystal ball is that sometimes the present intervenes and renders all predictions useless. It's much better to live in the present, and based on that, the James argument doesn't hold up.

While both James and Bryant are great players, there are some areas that James has yet to catch up, and in some cases he never will.

The part of LeBron's game that has seen the biggest improvement is on the defensive end. He is still a much better help defender than ball defender, but his man to man defense is steadily improving.

As a youngster James was able to rely on his superior athletic ability to mask his shortcomings on the defensive end. He was simply able to overwhelm opponents with his quickness, size, and strength.

It was clear early in his career that he had the proper defensive principles, but he lacked the technique. His defensive posture was bad, and he had a habit of crossing his feet instead of sliding them.

James has taken steps to correct this and it's evident in his game, as he has become a better on ball defender which helps compliment his superior ball-hawking skills.

Kobe had no such problem, as he was an excellent defensive player from the time he entered the league. His man-to-man skills remain superb, and he has the ability to lock down an opponent almost at will.

Bryant was obviously schooled on the importance of defense and that can in part be attributed to his NBA lineage. He recognized the influence that getting stops has on a game and the way it contributed to swings in momentum.

Conversely, James is a product of the AAU circuit and the various summer leagues which place a low premium on defense and emphasize the highlight aspect of the game.

Michael Jordan's footprints are all over another aspect of Kobe's game, which is sometimes called the lost art of the mid-range jump shot.

It became the most dangerous weapon in Jordan's arsenal, and Bryant has emulated it to the barest degree. His ability to pull up from anywhere within 18 feet has made Bryant one of the most versatile offensive players in NBA history.

This is the part of LeBron's game that could use the most work, as all of his damage is done either from distance or at the rim, there is hardly any in-between.

A mid-range jumper is something that you have to work at, and the evidence is spread throughout the league, with only a handful of players showing the ability to master it.

Besides being the ultimate student of the game, Bryant is probably one of the most fundamentally sound. His techniques on both ends of the floor could be used in basketball tutorials.

James is no slouch in the fundamental department, but Bryant is above reproach. I'm not sure if even the most dedicated regimen could put James in Bryant's class, who may be second only to Jordan himself.

I feel that all of the above points are solid, but they can be argued, alas this one can't. The hardware disparity is real and it has grown since James has been in the league.

I have stated that it is fruitless to argue what James may accomplish in the future because we live in the present. The Kobe and Jordan argument would have never started if Kobe was unable to win a ring.

Charles Barkley and Karl Malone are considered two of the best power forwards to play the game, but they are trumped by Tim Duncan, and the argument will always end with the number of rings Duncan is wearing.

Likewise with John Stockton and Magic Johnson. Stockton may hold the assists record, but how many of those assists ever accounted for championships?

This is the final peg on which Kobe hangs his hat. LeBron has the potential to be the greatest player ever, but tomorrow is never promised.

I pay homage to the greatest active player today, who has the game and championships to back it up. Until LeBron wins a ring he will be relegated to second-hand status.

Hornets point guard Chris Paul had to be held back after Sunday's loss to the Celtics when he tried to enter Boston's locker room.

Paul and Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo both received technical fouls after exchanging words in the second quarter.

Boston won 97-87, while Paul posted 22 points and eight assists.

agathamari:
so why not continue to examd this to include all sexual perversion since you claim they are all the same

people who watch porn, masterbate, use intimacy gadgets, were costumes (naughty nurse, french maid) those who have a preferance for blonds or fat women or circumsised or not, preference for position or rooms where they do it.  can you see how retarted your argument is

naijababe:
Euthanasia=assisted suicide. Now you're the one with the red herring

agathamari:
saying god preaches tolerance, that he is the one to judge not man, that christianity is not the only religion in the world this makes me a theophobe? where did i or anyone else say or insimuate that i/we fear god?

bawomolo:
I would say assisted suicide should be done by a doctor but hey if you want some dude to chop your head off go ahead. An evaluation should be done to make sure the person is really capable of making such a decision.

after that, go ahead.

so basically you have no evidence to support such correlation. According to you, homosexuals are potential criminals. How objective

4llerbuntu:
nah, u very right. gays are very right to be gay and its not a sickness, its just a mental affliction from which there is no remedy.

are u even listening to urself? u are complaining that society shld not censor such act cos thats what they like as adults? then we also should not censor pedophiles cos thats what they like!!! and dont give me any tripe about age and guardianship, since we should not censor your sexual preference! there exist pple who only get hardons when the see kids! dont they have a right to get laid? and there have been times when pedophilia is consensual!!!!

the girl akon shagged was consensual!!!!!!

stupidity is not a virtue, stop masking it with pseudo-intellectualism.

bawomolo:
if i was a cancer patient with 2 months to live. What's wrong with telling a doctor to take my life since i couldn't handle the pain?

bawomolo:
you didn't answer the question, what's the correlation.   Is an homosexual more likely to rape compared to an heterosexual?

you are grasping for straws here.  do you support your heterosexual fetish by raping people?
