Great debate

Rather than argue who’s “better” between Kobe and LeBron, let’s just say their styles dominate differently.

At 6-8, 250 pounds, LeBron is more of a power player, while the more slender and agile Kobe is more finesse. It’s similar to Shaq or Kareem -- pick your poison!

Personally, in crunch time, I’ll go with the better shooter, passer, and free-throw shooter: Kobe. He remains the ultimate assassin for that final play -- mangled fingers and all.

Someone should wake Phil Jackson up so he can explain to young Andrew Bynum that he needs to calm down and have no more 42-point, 15-rebound games or else he will be traded away -- probably to Miami -- because nobody is allowed to take the spotlight away from the great Kobe!
