"The Great Debate," as many are calling it these days, is not about our economic recession. No, at this time of the year, there are far more important things on the minds of basketball aficionados. Today we bring the issue under the limelight. Who's truly the better basketball player, Kobe Bryant or LeBron James? I, personally, find it difficult to claim either one of these guys as better than the other.  For one, their games are totally different. Additionally, certain aspects of each player's games are stronger than the other's and vice versa. It's a coin flip, no matter how you look at it. And you cannot lose either way. I'll leave the analysis for you avid fans. Has LeBron James supplanted Kobe Bryant as the best basketball player in the NBA? Add a comment and/or weigh in on the poll.
