Who is better: LeBron James or Kobe Bryant?

The author’s purpose is to persuade people that LeBron James is a better player than Kobe Bryant. ESPN reporters state more facts than opinions about why they think LeBron is a much better player than Kobe Bryant. ESPN reporters Henry Abbott, Tom Haberstroh, David Thorpe, and Brian Windhorst all agree that LeBron is a better player than Kobe. Henry says that “James is a more efficiently. He rebounds far better. He gets way more assists. And he uses the ball less and plays defense.” ESPN reporter Tom says that “LeBron is largely a product of relentless shot-taking. In every other face of the game, LeBron has him beat.” The other ESPN reporter David said that “But for the last time, over the course of a season, while Kobe is still great, LeBron is the greatest now.” Also the other reporters besides one are were informing and persuading why LeBron James is a better player than Kobe Bryant. They also showed a lot of facts and opinions why LeBron is a better player than Kobe Bryant. This website is a reliable source because it has ESPN reporters stating true facts about how and why LeBron James is a better player than Kobe Bryant; they can’t lie about it because if they lie they could get in a huge amount of trouble. Possibly fired, also it has a lot of sources on the page. Does a bias exist in the article? I think that it doesn’t exist in this article because ESPN reporter David Thorpe states the fact that Kobe Bryant is still a great player but he’s just not as good as LeBron James.
