However, Kobe and Lebron have been often critisised

Kobe has been known as a Ball Hog and he's also had his shares of controversy

Lebron on the other hand had told ESPN and the world on TV last year that he was finally joining the Miami Heat which shook the world

Kobe and Lebron James have also been called a couple of wannabe Michael Jordans

Lebron has also been booed @ Carmello Anthony's Wedding and Cleveland has also burnt his Jersey

and there are people calling them a couple of cry babies

and so, I ask you all this:

Kobe & Lebron James: Do you Love them or Do you Hate them?

and also, do you consider them overrated and what are the pros and cons of these 2 men?

Please share your thoughts on all of this and you can debate on this as well.

Kobe never figured on my radar one way or the other. When his cheating scandal was revealed in 2003, I thought he was a pig. But he does seem to have turned his life around, he has really emerged as a leader and a team player on the basketball court, and his marriage now seems to be OK. At least I HOPE it is all as it seems.

LeBron? I'm a Clevelander. Enough said - other than that I never liked him even when he still in high school!!! Even then he was an enabled, classless wimp.

I have NEVER seen Kobe cry like a baby, and as for LeButthead this should be his song...

[Brad Russ]

I don't hate or love either. I guess all I can really say is that I have no problem with either of them.

I don't like Kobe but I hate Lebron

I could care less about them or any of their fellow millionaire ball bouncing circus freaks. A few years ago i turned on the olympic games for a few minutes and the US basketball team was playing.until i saw the uniforms i thought it was a team from Africa or Haiti or something
