The Barbershop Battles

One of the most riveting discussions that everyone seemed to have an opinion on this past season was the one that forced us to answer the question, "Kobe or LeBron?"



Barbershops everywhere were in upheaval as the debate over who the best player was waged on.

The Olympic teammates had phenomenal seasons and individually had some pretty spectacular performances.

On February 2, Kobe waltzed into Madison Square Garden and set a scoring record by pouring in 61 points.



Two days later LeBron and his Cavs strolled into MSG and he went off for 50 points and was one rebound short of a triple double.



James captured the league's most valuable player honour whereas KB24 led his Lakers to an NBA championship.

Kobe also won the Finals MVP award named in honour of the great Bill Russell.

There were no shortage of opinions on The NBA Breakdown this past season. Not only were Dave and Audley on polar opposites but so were some of their guests.



Check it out as The NBA Breakdown turns the clock back to try and answer the biggest stumper of the season.

Who's better, Kobe or LeBron?

The NBA Breakdown - For hoops talk, the way it should be!!

It's On - Again!!

Fans will probably have to wait until the league MVP award is announced before having a true sense of who is most deserving of the title greatest in the game today.



However, there is a one-on-one battle that you won't have to wait until the end of the season to see the results.

Dave & Audley, hosts of the the best basketball internet talk show on the planet square off in another head-to-head battle for basketball bragging rights in their fantasy league this week.

At this point, the season series is tied at 1 win each.

In this latest matchup, if Audley loses he'll have to make a donkey noise and profess that Dave Mendonca, is the reason why people listen to and support The NBA Breakdown.

If Dave loses, he has no other choice but to wail like an elephant and say that his basketball knowledge is inferior to Audley.

Be sure to keep it tuned to The NBA Breakdown to hear the latest on this MASSIVE Fantasy matchup!

Down With The King?

The LeBron/Kobe debate really heated up when Barack came out and annointed KB #24 as the "best player in the world".




So now that you've heard from the Prez and my little buddy Dave, it's time to flip the coin and check out the other side.

Nobody's doubting that Kobe is off the chain - he's a ridiculous scorer with a true killer instinct. Plus his will to win and desire to utterly humiliate his opponents put him on another planet.

The thing is Kobe, you're not alone.

You see, there's this 6'8 monster named LeBron who has more than enough physical gifts and greatness to snatch the crown off of you and place it on his own head.



We're so used to seeing him dominate that we often forget that he's only played five full season in the league. Whereas Jellybean Joe Bryant's favourite Laker has been around for 13 seasons.

Take a good look at the stats and you'll see that LeBron's footprint has left a bigger imprint on the game at the five year mark than Kobe did.

Points
Kobe - 6,178
Lebron - 10,689

Assists
Kobe - 1,141
Lebron - 2,572

Rebounds
Kobe - 1,353
Lebron - 2,692

Hey guys, I don't make up this stuff - the facts speak for themselves.

LeBron has been just as impactful as Kobe with the exception of the 3 rings Kobe garnered playing alongside Shaq.



LeBron has the speed of a fleeing gazelle, the intensity of a caged beast and the heart of a lion. His intangibles make him equally as dangerous as the player formerly known as #8 plus he's poised to take the game to another level.

The fact that this debate is taking place speaks to how good he really is and why he's got people throwing their hands in the air in amazement.
