I don't think anyone can deny that he's the best player playing.

There aren't even any real post players anymore. Look at how they kept referring tonight to how LeBron and Wade lead the league for points in the paint. That's insane. One that it's two guards... and that they're on the same team. That never would've happened in the 80's or 90's. I don't know who in the league today would be able to defend Kareem.

Due to age.
Kobe is on the downhill, but when he was in his prime NOBODY could stop him. Of course, LeBron will get all the attention now. He's the young star. Once Kobe retires and everyone focuses on James everyone will say he's better than Kobe, simply because Kobe isn't playing. |

Magic is right there as far as I am concerned because he along with Bird pretty much saved the NBA.

Your point is valid though. Who knows how LeBron would have responded to a more physical NBA. You can also say how would a less athletic NBA respond to a god damn Alien. It's hard to compare players from different eras I suppose, but LeBron I'm confident will be the best of his. Anything else can be argued to a point. |

You're using the same argument that was used against Kobe, and was false, and Jordan, which was false. LeBron is closer to them in work ethic, skill, and athleticism. He's not Shawn Kemp, who can't play w/o athleticism.

Kobe is a great player. I don't think it's any disrespect to say LeBron will most likely surpass him. I'm sure if LeBron goes to LA in few years some tunes will change real quick.
I'd personally take KD over LeBron because I'm a Thunder fan, a fan boy, and just like the guy. He'll be one if the all time greats, but I know he won't be LeBron. He's still my guy though. |

They also had younger, better versions of Pierce and Allen, plus a healthy Kendrick Perkins.
