===I think that Kobe Bryant is better then Lebron James for the following three reason: He has won 5 NBA championships & Lebron James has won none.Kobe has 2 NBA scoring titles & Lebron only has 1 NBA scoring title.Kobe also has 2 NBA Finals MVP honors and Lebron has none.===

===The first reason I think Kobe Bryant is better then Lebron James because Kobe has won 5 NBA championships & Lebron has won none.My evidence shows Kobe won a championship in 2000,2001,2002,2009,2010.Kobe averaged at least 30 points during his championship wins.While Lebron had a chance at wining a championship he only averaged 17.8 points per game and lost to Dallas.===

===The second reason I think Kobe Bryant is better then Lebron James is because he has 2 NBA scoring titles and Lebron has 1.The title he won he averaged 35.4 points per game and the title he won he averaged 31.2 points per game.Kobe won back to back scoring titles while Lebron only able to do it once.===

===The third reason I think Kobe Bryant is better then Lebron James is because he has 2 NBA Finals honors and Lebron has none.Lebron never made it as far to accomplish getting a MVP in the Finals.To achieve the MVP honors Kobe lead the charge scoring a least 29 to 30 points a game.===

===Some might stay Lebron James is better because he was 1st overall pick and Kobe was a 13th overall pick.However Kobe didn't need to be pick 1st to show he has the talent to be one of the best in basketball.My evidence is that Kobe made the 5th spot on the all time scoring list.That is pretty special for someone who has been picked only 13th overall.===

===Others may also say that Lebron James is better because he hasn't had many great players on his team and he has done more work and Kobe has had great players on his team and had help.I disagree because even though Kobe has had some extra help Lebron has too.Even when he had the help of Shaq,D-Wade and Bosh he still didn't get the championship.===

===In conclusion I think Kobe Bryant is better than Lebron James because he has 5 NBA championships.Second he proved that he could make it in the league without being the 1st overall draft pick.Third he has still been an affect on the court while at his prime.Lastly he has been great player throughout his career.===
