            No offense but this is pointless

            I'll vote LBJ based on what he'll probably do going forward

                Even though Moses Malone is the only HOFer on this list?

                Yeah, Garnett, Bryant and most likely James will get in BUT I wonder if anyone is going to show love for Big Mo. With the exception of James, Big Mo was the only player on this list to step into the league and make an immediate impact. The others didn't start making their mark until about 2+ years after their rookie seasons.

                  Moses Malone didn't go directly from high school to the NBA.

                  Plus he should have won Maryland 2 championships first.

                    OK. Just a technicality. He didn't go straight to the NBA. But he did play pro ball after high school. He played in the ABA who at the time had HOF players like Julius Erving, George Gervin and Dan Issel. The ABA also had big men like Artis Gilmore and Cadwell Jones who were in their prime during that time. So back then the level of competition wasn't far off from the NBA because those guys made impacts in the NBA also.

                    And Moses in his first year averaged 18 ppg and 9 rebs at 18 years old. So Moses not going straight to the NBA was just a mere formality.

                      It's easily Kobe Bryant.

                        This.

                        LeBron is still four championships behind him.

                          Is it who made the best jump their first year, or overall in their whole career?

                          If it is their first year, it's LeBron. If career, it's Kobe until proven otherwise.

                            At this moment in time its Kobe. So thats who I voted for.

                            When its all said and done I think Lebron will be the best.

                              At the end of his career, I will go with Lebron.

                              As of the moment, I will go with Kobe. Kobe has achieved more in his career than Lebron.
