If Lebron cared as much as Kobe about winning he'd have a fist full of championships and all with the Cavs. Lebron is one of the best individual players of all time and a beast to watch, but he just doesn't have that desperate need to win. He never needed it. He could show up, be better than everyone, be treated like royalty, and win or lose be told he was the greatest of all time.
So no doubt I consider Lebron to be the better individual talent than Kobe, and he's right when he proclaims in press conferences to be the best in the world. And still I'd take Kobe over Lebron every time while building a team and down the stretch of any game that mattered.
