In the playoffs? I think it's hard to say. I mean heck, Kobe's been injured... and well more injured for a while.
On the other hand though, Kobe has ALWAYS had better help, and also only makes a lot of game winning shots because they have to take a lot of game winning shots.
His percentage of making game winning shos isn't really that impressive.
If you asked me to bet my life on it. I'd take Lebron James any day of the week... because i'd atleast know he was going to give a crap that day.
10 years from now, i think Kobe will be excluded from the "best" lists because of his attidue. Michael Jordan didn't take games off, let alone plays. Bill Russel didn't take games off, Magic didn't take games off Lebron doesn't take games off.
Wilt Chamberlin DID take games off... which is why despite his amazing 100+ point game nobody puts him as one of the best. He'll still be one of the greatest players... but he won't fit into the pantheon of THE greatest player arguement.
Of course, i'm weird in that I'm one of those people that sees Magic Johnson as the greatest player ever, not Jordan, because Magic was only a fraction worse then Jordan and could play all 5 positions.
