2. Kobe Bryant, SG, Los Angeles Lakers

Incredible toughness playing through hand injury and still the best clutch shooter in the game. He even showed leadership that carried them to the Finals, where he finally ran out of gas.

35. Pau Gasol, PF, Los Angeles Lakers

He was the perfect fit at midseason once Andrew Bynum got hurt and the Lakers exploded to win the West. But he collapsed in the physical play of the Finals and there's the question of how he'll fit with Bynum.

LMAO that roster sucks so much [expletive]. Good job overrating everyone there (except Lebron).

[kobynum]

who is over rated? if anything my ratings were spot-on accurate

[BeeZee]

Cleveland without LeBron is much, much worse than the Lakers without Kobe.

[kobynum]

i disagree

[ogarte24]

where the hell was paul pierce?

I thought he was the best?

[Black Sheep]

i take this with a grain of salt

reason why is because lebron is #1

[Aceis²FresH]

This season I see Lebron passing Kobe.

[last stand 2.0]

Cleveland without LeBron is much, much worse than the Lakers without Kobe.

playoff team

so say what you want but i just put the facts out there and 2 years ago kobe had it much tougher 2 D-leaguers, average player, lazy talent and took that team to the playoffs every year except 1 lebron had players who would be solid bench players elsewhere some starters while most of kobes teammates are struggling to stay in the league

now both kobe and lebron ae well off but obviously kobe is a lot better off than lebron now

[lakerfool]

It's NOT obvious that Kobe is better. It's OBVIOUS only if you're a Laker fan.

To most people, it's a toss up.

well if you are referring to me maybe you should enhance your reading comprehension

i said "now kobe is obviously better off than lebron"

because i was talking about their teams

nice job reading if you were talking to me

[ReaListik]

I'm going to write this from a totally un-biased standpoint.

Kobe is on a different level than any other player in the world. If you know basketball, and you analyze it logically and consider all aspects of the game, you'll see that Kobe's ability is unmatched currently in the NBA, which is really very reminiscent of how MJ was the best in an league during an age of Bird, Barkeley, Isaiah, and Magic.

This fact does not diminish the other stars in the NBA, and I would say LeBron is at the head of that talented group of Wade, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Chris Bosh, D-Howard, etc...

[Imadogg]

who is over rated? if anything my ratings were spot-on accurate

Oh wow, I expected you to disagree with your own ratings.

Obviously you're gonna say they're spot on.

i disagree

Cavs without Bron are better than Lakers without Kobe? Wow you really are hating on our team.

[We Believe]

lol i think he meant to say cavs without bron are worse than the lakers without kobe.

[Imadogg]

lol i think he meant to say cavs without bron are worse than the lakers without kobe.

Nah, he's trying to prove that Lebron's Cavs team is awesome

Cleveland without LeBron is much, much worse than the Lakers without Kobe.

i disagree

[kobynum]

im sayin that both teams, lack a go to guy without Kobe or Lebron. Truthfully the Cavs are a top 4 defensive team in this league, think Philly when AI was the MVP, sure you can look at that team and say Dale Davis sucked, but watch the games and the defensive effort made by the role players on those type of teams are instrumental to Lebrons success. Z, Wallace, and Varejo are Active big men,(Z is more efficient than active), delonte west is solid, daniel gibson is a shooter(better than sasha overall),and he has a coach who can do great things defensively. I think the cavs stars are underrated. The Lakers are better offensive players individually, but sometimes those basketball intangibles are missing on the defensive end of the court

[Kenrae]

Of course the Lakers without Kobe are better than the Cavs without Lebron. That's why they're the current West Champions and NBA finalists without the starting Center, and the Cavs wouldn't have been in the West finals.

[kobynum]

If you look at the finals, Boston took away kobe effectively and WHO stepped up to say im another consitent threat, no one, and cleveland fared better overall against boston than the lakers, and at times when lebron was in foul trouble, and now you add mo williams, and guys are learning a system through training camp. We watch the Lakers every game so we know how good each player is, but we dont see every Cav game, but its obvious that they are a good team
