kobe is overrated because hes not close to a top 10 player of all time even tho tons of laker fan boys/media think he is. nor is he the best player in the game, he isn't even the 2nd best (lebron/hgh). heck he isn't even the 3rd best (healthy wade). hence the word overrated, kobe is still a great player, hofer etc but hes not as good as a lot of people think he is.
also there are stats out there (too lazy to look but they've been linked a ton) which show lebron has been better in the final 5 minutes of close games than kobe and has a higher percentage on game winning shots as well. but WHO CARES ABOUT STATS, MAN DID U SEE KOBE MISS THAT SHOT VS THE THUNDER AND GASOL TIP IT IN? KOBE WANTS IT MORE, WHAT A SICK PASS!

cause if u took lebron off the cavs they would be a 30-35 win team. it is because of lbj that they are the best team in the league. if you took kobe off the lakers they are still a 40-45 win team. and lebron lead the cavs to better records with a worse supporting cast.
check out lebron's series vs the magic, he was insane. i'm not sure how to filter out the entire series so i'll just use last years playoffs where he averaged 35.3 ppg on 61.8 TS% with 7.3 assists and 9.1 boards (all incredible numbers especially the ppg and TS%). It was not his fault they lost, infact he played ridiculous. It was his teammates who sucked (mo was beyond terrible, they had no one to stop hgh etc).

no lebron still doesn't have a great team, who is his 2nd best player? Mo Williams? Antwan Jamison? Anderson V? Those are all embarrassments to be a 2nd best player on a championship team, his supporting cast is HORRIBLE for a championship contender and was even worse last year.

see my post 2 posts above, lebron had an insane series vs orlando. he played pretty much as great as a human basketball player could play.
