There are too many people out there hating on LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. Let me qualify what I mean by hating. If you want to argue who is the better player, that's one thing. If you think someone is overrated by the media or a certain group of fans that's another thing. It's these guys who want to act like complete jagoffs and they call LeBron names like LeBitch or LeBrick out of disrespect. Or I'm talking about the guys who wont at least give Kobe props for his 2002-2003 season of which he deserved the MVP that year. I can understand not liking one guy or the other. I can understand not liking the hype.I can understand not liking comparisons to Michael Jordan. They do not deserve comparisons to Jordan until they approach his greatness.the basics:MJ won 10 scoring titlesMJ won 6 finals MVPsMJ won 5 league MVPsMJ averaged over 30 points per game for his career and there is only one guy in the NBA this season over 30 points per game.MJ averaged 33.5ppg in the playoffs for his career.MJ won a defensive player of the year award when there were some real great shotblockers and tough defenders all across the league.So until us Jordan fans see a guy who averages 31ppg for his career, 34ppg in the playoffs, with at least 4 league MVPs and at least 5 finals MVP's to go with his minimal 9 scoring titles, we are not worried. Nobody is even close to approaching MJ's greatness so let's give that up until someone actually deserves the comparisons.All the comparisons, hype, and fan bias aside. Most of you will agree that these two guys right here are the two most fun players to watch in the NBA right now. So if you agree with me, then you also probably agree with the fact that people need to erase some of the hate. Appreciate this talent before it's gone. You don't want to be sitting there thinking about how it's too late when these guys are both old and past their prime. With Kobe I can understand those who don't like his personality and his issues from the past. I am sensitive to that. I just wanted to point out that I am not casting aside shady issues that people have always had an issue with. Im talking about purely respecting each player for their talent as basketball players.Enjoy the mix.
