it's got to be kobe. no doubt. and i don't like the guy but i'm just being honest.
he can score from anywhere at any time. he is clutch at the FT line or elsewhere.
AND he is showing he can sit back and let teammates score- he can set others up.
he's excellent defensively, and finally- he has a very high basketball IQ, something lebron still has a long ways to go to improve.
lebron is the most physically gifted though for sure.
I agree that Lebron is not quite to Kobe's level, yet. The only reason I picked KG is that he's a better team defender than Kobe (Kobe is a solid man defender but doesn't improve his team defense like KG does).Quote:

I'm pretty much a total retard, but I've got to go with Kobe. I apologize for all the people who think it's Kobe, I hope it doesn't hurt our side for me to be on it.
My top 5:
1) KG
2) Kobe
3) Lebron
4) TD
5) nobody (Nash, Dirk, Wade don't play defense. Paul or Howard will be here soon though).
Lebron is in Oscar Robinson territory.
as great as KG is, would you put the ball in his hands with the game on the line? perhaps. but if you had a choice you would definitely put it in kobe's hands before KG's.
that to me is the difference. kobe can be a 'team guy' and a facilitator but he obviously can score. and most importantly he has a killer instinct and is extremely 'clutch'. i don't think KG has that.
not to mention, kobe's wife is ridiculously hot while i haven't seen KG's. ;o)
that's yet another reason i hate kobe actually.
Most clutch does not mean best player. Billups is probably one of the top 5 most clutch players. Is he even a top 10 player? No.
KG, followed by Kobe. Best all-around player in the league. He's Superman at passing, scoring, defense, rebounding, etc. He's been the best defensive big man this decade(KG can actually defend good post scorers, unlike Big Ben). My only gripe about him is that he's too passive at times.
And for a guy who is in his twenties, LeBron James is a pretty smart player. Just wait until his 6th and 7th year when he learns more.
