Kobe Bryant, the big time LA player. He has won 5 championships and holds 1 MVP award. He lead the league in scoring for 5 years and still today in the top 5. Kobe is one of the best shooters in the history of the NBA.
On the other hand "King" Lebron James is "the chosen one". He has won 3 straight MVP awards and 1 championship in 2012 season.
Will Lebron James finish with a better career than Kobe?

The article on ESPN really shows that looking at Lebron and Kobe's overall career, Kobe is superior. He has won 4 more championships than James. He has been starting in the all star game for 14 straight years. Kobe has just dominated with his team and proved he is an all time hall of famer that can get him team to earn Ws and win championships. " Kobe Bryant. He's got five now, four more than LeBron. That's an awful lot of ground to cover. Even if LeBron finishes one or two short, there's no shame in that. I've always felt LeBron has to win at least two titles to truly validate his legendary status." says Wallace in the ESPN Kobe VS Lebron article. This shows that Lebron may win one or two more championships, but he will most likely not win as many as Kobe.

But on the other hand, Lebron James has won 3 straight MVP awards and might win his 4th! No one since Bob Petite back in the 60s has ever had that! He almost averages a triple double and is extremely unselfish- always tries to give opportunities to his teammates. In 2012 Lebron and his team won the NBA playoffs against OKC. But Kevin Durant this season is playing extremely well and will Lebron get to put another ring on his finger?

In conclusion i think that this season Lebron is playing better with his team than Kobe, but Kobe will have a better career than Lebron. Lebron will be a hall of famer, but Kobe will be a Legend. Unless Lebron get 5 or more championships.
