Lebron James vs Kobe Bryant, in the season, in MVP talk, more

**Tainted Sword** · 03-04-2008, 10:17 PM

Make it Rain, Kobe has only two tats, he's nowhere near looking like a 'bad boy'. Hell, a good majority of NBA players have tatoos. It's just a popular thing to have.

My friend kind of reminds me of Kobe in the sense he just rubs people the wrong way. Great guy once you talk to him, but every teacher he's had since middle school haven't liked him at all. It's really hilarious.

"You've got to understand we've watched Larry and Magic their whole careers," a playful Bryant said after playing with James for two weeks last summer on Team USA in the FIBA Americas tournament. "We've emulated them and so we know what they like to do. Everything they did, we tried to do in the driveway. It would be fun. I think a lot of people would want to watch it, but we would definitely win."

James nodded his head in agreement.

Bird and Magic have yet to weigh in with their opinions.

Oh dear, this thread isn't going to be pretty....

**bigkingsfan** · 03-04-2008, 11:23 PM

I'd bet on them too... too bad basketball is a team sport.

**picc84** · 03-04-2008, 11:24 PM

Two on two? They probably would beat them. Whats the big deal?

**mjbulls23** · 03-04-2008, 11:24 PM

they probably would.... but I hope that they aren't implying that they're better players than Magic & Bird were

**DavidLeeforMVP** · 03-04-2008, 11:28 PM

I'm not sure about this I still don't think that Lebron and Kobe would win though

**Indian guy** · 03-04-2008, 11:30 PM

I agree. LeBron and Kobe have a much better shot at stopping Bird/Magic then those 2 have.

Thats how silly Kobe is and todays young fans. neither magic or Bird were great 1 on 1 players but put 3 other capeable players and I see a sweep
in Magics and Birds favor. FIrst of all Kobe and LBJ both need the ball Magic would run the offense and Bird would get open for 1 of those sweet jumpers

**picc84** · 03-04-2008, 11:34 PM

Its a good thing everyone is pointing out that bird and magic were better players than them. Obviously kobe and lebron were indicating they were superior in team game aspects, and not just in a street two-on-two setting.

Very important that you guys make sure everyone knew that.

**Kblaze8855** · 03-04-2008, 11:36 PM

Nothing wrong with that. I bet even a combo of guys like Andrew Toney and Adrian Dantley would have a good chance even with the size issues they would face.

I bet Harold Minor and Isiah Rider would wreck many superstars in a 2 on 2 tournament.

**iamgine** · 03-04-2008, 11:46 PM

I would agree also..I think Larry is not athletic enough to play 2 v 2 against kobe & Lebron.

Maybe Magic + someone else? *hintMJhint*

He's shooting 39.3% on jumpers this year, compared to 39.4% last year?

Actually I'll be damned, it was 39.4% LAST year and 39.3% THIS year.
