For this poll, we’re talking about body of work thus far and not their respective versions of this year. If we were just talking about this year, Lebron wins hands down. Body of work, if you count Lebron’s potential, makes a more interesting topic.

Lebron James:
Pros: Ungodly athleticism, improving skill sets, can play all five positions if needed, and seemingly unlimited potential.
Cons: For some reason, has a tendency to fall in love with the outside shot despite the ability to get to the rim whenever he wants. Also is a huge grandstanding douche.

Kobe Bryant:
Pros: Routinely hits the toughest shots, his skill set is unmatched, his dedication and work ethic is unrivaled, astronomically high basketball IQ, and he is willing to adapt his game to the laws of nature (aging, fading athleticism).
Cons: Struggles with the me-first vs. team concept, isn’t shy about finding his shooting touch, may not play well with the other children.
