(Stats below this line are current as of March 2, 2010)Kobe is 267-645 for his career in the NBA finals on shot attempts (41.4% fg)Kobe has 90 career games where he shot 30% or lower when taking at least 8 shot attempts. That's nearly 10% of his career. Kobe made 113-266 of his shots in the Finals during his first 3 rings, for a weak 42.5% fg%. Kobe was merely a sidekick during those "3 rings". Let's never forget that.At the same age LeBron is right now, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant were averaging from a career standpoint:MJ 32.7ppg 50.5%fg 5.8reb 5.5ast 2.9stl 1.4blkLBJ 27.8ppg 47.4%fg 7.0reb 6.9ast 1.7stl .9blkKB 21.5ppg 45.6%fg 5.0reb 4.2ast 1.4stl .6blk To think Kobe had "3 rings" at this point, and the credit he gets for those rings is sickening.Michael Jordan's single season at the same age LeBron is right now:35.0ppg 53.5%fg 5.5reb 5.9ast 3.2stl 1.6blk(Jordan only averaged a 3 point attempt once every 2 games)Lakers forward Ron Artest doesn't think the Cavaliers would be a playoff team without LeBron James."Actually I thought about that [Thursday]," Artest told CBS Sports."If you take LeBron off that team, no. They're not. They're nothing. Not that they're nothing, they're still human beings. But you take him off that team, no. I guess that's why they got me, to take him out of the game. [Thursday] it didn't work. They got us this year, so all we can do is move on from that and see what happens in the playoffs."The season is still young, but if I had to pick an MVP it would be LeBron. Nobody combines the speed, the agility, the power, the finesse, the grace, the court vision, the basketball IQ, the decisionmaking, the unselfishness, the ability to take over games consistently, the ability to raise his team's level of play, the leadership, the ability to adapt, the scoring from all areas of the floor, the ever improving skills, the defense, the rebounding, the hustle, the determination, and the hunger that LeBron James brings to an NBA court.The season is still young, but if I had to pick an MVP it would be LeBron.
