Yeah…because Kobe is 28 and is going to hit a point where his game fades as Lebron will be 24 and he is only coming into his prime…thats about it..I think they are both great and LeBron needs to find a better compliment than Boobie Gibson to accentuate his game…Remember…Kobe took 5 years to figure it all out and he was a second fiddle to Shaq…LeBron has been the Man while he has been figuring it out..I don’t think you have seen it all yet…

I don't even watch baseball, and even I know that he didn't play in a lot of games just to keep the streak going. They'd have him out there for one play and then replace him.Fake.
