Humility is for the media, greatness is for the court.
Lebron has had every opportunity to wilt. He came in the most hyped 18 year old ever, and he proved any doubter wrong. Year after year.

I still have to give Kobe an edge on defense and a slight edge on the Killer instinct part. Lebron is so gifted that you expect him to crush opponents every night, but there are times where he just seems to glide across the floor when he should be tearing it up (maybe it's just because he's so smooth)
Kobe, despite the person he is off the court, is still the most dangerous player in the league, because he steps onto the court looking down on everybody.
