And don't gimme that "he doesn't want to be in MJ's shadow" bull****, Kobe did just fine living up to Lakers' expectations.
And by the way, Lebron is better right now than Kobe was at this point in his career.

Kobe is a different player than Lebron. Kobe is all about the winning. He knows he'll get his money and doesn't care about the shadows of Magic or anyone else. Now here is how it is with Lebron. You can tell he is jealous of Kobe and wants to be the only name wherever he goes. That's why it won't be Chicago. There will never be a name as big as Jordan in the NBA, and if you think Lebron isn't worried about that, then you are fooling yourself. The biggest issue is that even if he won championships in Chicago, he would always be compared. If he goes to NY or stays in Cleveland and wins, there are no other names to compare him to in the modern era. Who would they compare him to in the last 30 years? Ewing? Daugherty? This will be an easy choice. It won't be Chicago. I think he stands more of a chance going to Miami with Wade than Chicago.
