Let me give you something. Kobe has a dislocated finger right now. He is playing. LeBron had a jammed finger earlier this year. He sat out a week.
Let me give you another thing. LeBron plays in the eastern conference. That he got to the finals was no great accomplishment. Hell, there was a huge suspicion that a fix was in to get him there. I know Rasheed Wallace certainly thought so.
And while I'm at it, here's another. Kobe was not a role player on his championship teams. He was a take-control guard. He was a championship player. He was the most talented and he came through. He won.
For the last few years, Kobe has been playing with Kwame Brown, Brian Cook, Smush Parker, and other blanks. They really had only one other complement to Kobe, Odom, but this guy isn't reliable in the least. All other retained role players are having breakout years this year, whereas they were almost silent in years before.
In contrast, LeBron has some good role players. They made impacts. They played with energy and they made shots.
He's still a little squirt with a lot to prove to me. He's good, don't get me wrong. He's not the best.
