Answer 5

Whether you are a Laker fan or not, a Kobe hater or not, if you know the game of basketball then the answer is Kobe Bryant.

If you want to make an argument for Lebron James I can understand that. In terms of just statistics, for the 2007-2008 regular season Lebron is slightly better. Based on Hollinger's Player Effiency Rating (PER), which is a rating of a player's per-minute productivity, Lebron is "King":

But Kobe is among the league's best in terms of statistics as well, and to determine who is "better" we have to go beyond just numbers. Kobe is a notch above Lebron right now. Both players are incredible offensive forces, able to create their own shots and score at will. But Kobe Bryant is clearly a better defensive player. He is an 8 time All-Defensive Team selection. How many times has Lebron James earned that honor? Zero.

This past season Kobe led his team to more wins, went deeper in the playoffs...and he did it in a tougher conference. In addition, Kobe has more playoff experience and three championship rings on Lebron. Until both of their careers are over we won't be able to make a final judgement, but as of right now Kobe Bryant is clearly the best basketball player playing right now.

If you were to poll those with the most professional basketball knowledge, such as fellow NBA players, NBA coaches, GM's, the media that covers the NBA, and other NBA executives, they would overwhelmingly agree that Kobe Bryant is the best player in the world right now.

Answer 7

You can make good cases for both players.

Yes, LeBron had just had an amazing year, statistically speaking. He had lots of triple doubles, led the league in scoring, and statistically, the better player than Kobe in the clutch.

However... players are evaluated by a lot more than statistics (while we're at it, Kobe is also among the league leaders in stats). There are many other things to consider. For one, Kobe led his team to the best record in the most competitive Western Conference in history. LeBron was unable to lead his team any higher than a fourth seed in a relatively weaker conference. Kobe had to adjust more than any other player in this league (Andrew Bynum's sudden explosion, Andrew Bynum's sudden injury, the Pau trade), yet he has done so admirably, and in a seemingly easy fashion. You can even say that the stats are skewed in LeBron's favor because admittedly, he has no other offensive option except himself.

Right now Kobe is better than LeBron - greater than LeBron. No doubt LeBron is trying to catch up, but right now Kobe is ahead of him... and ahead of the field.
