Paul is a 1 and Kobe is a 2...It will be Paul/Fisher, and Kobe/Pargo....Unless you were just stating the leaders of each respective team...Also Whoever gets better first Kobe/West I think will win the series...

I agree, but at the same time Lebron can play 3. He is a natural at getting to the basket 3, he can shoot lights out and drive and create contact and get the foul 2, he can certainly run the point and which he regulary does in the 4th quarter and gets his assists. You really can't argue with that, I only know one player in the league that could also deman respect from all those posistions and thats kobe, but we all know phil would never run him at point.

1,2,3, and 4...... Jordan used to check the 5 all the time....In a few years LeBron will as well... Wilt Chamberlain said it best...If you are 6'6"...You are tall enough for the 5.....

you guys are forgeting that Lamar odom is a hybrid player as well 6'11 can handle the ball, pass, shoot the outside J as well as the 3, rebound...next year when bynum returns and odom swings from the 4 to the 3 the lakers will be scary

+1

yup i was refering to leadership as well as stellar plays..kobe can settle and hit jumpers and be more of a decoy with a bad back unlike west who plays in the post not much room for a bad back in the paint

Everyone has problems....His started after his skills had declined and he was a role player anyhow..He accomplished quite a bit more than the average NBA player over the course of his career... The time he was in Sea-town, is the stuff only the true legends are made of. A lot of things happened all at the same time in his life...The NBA strike shortened season was the beginning of the end...Seattle GAVE him away to the cavs so they could keep Jim Maclivane That might drive me to coke as well....

you're right he was never the same reign man in cleveland..i still remember him in the finals on the baseline double clutching it in for the and one Jam with longley draped all over him..and the double pump reverse in the lane against was it new york...kemp was a beast back in seatle
