1162698 Im pretty sure you already know where im going with this. Kobe "The Black Mamba" Bryant and LeBron "The King" James both had outstanding games vs the New York Knicks. Despite that fact both players are argueably students of The Great MJ. Kobe dropped 61 pts and King James dropped 52. One big question who had a Triple Double NOT Kobe. Kobe had 61 pts, 3 assist and 0 rebs, LeBron James had 52 pts, 11 ast, and 10 rebs. If you really think about it Lebron only had 9 pts fewer than Kobe. a couple of 3 pointers, and some free throws LeBron would have been the big story and kobe won't even been thought of. Not to take anything from kobe the future hall of famer, but there is a reason why LeBron James is The King of the Court and Kobe isn't and he proved it. true 2009-02-05T18:23:19Z 78783 1 2009-02-05T18:23:19Z
