LeBron James on the other hand has appeared in two NBA Finals and has won one championship. This is one of the major debates between both players on comparing who is better.

Then in 1970, just three years out of high school, Haywood signed a six-year contract with the Seattle Supersonics worth $15 million. Due to this violation of NBA policy, the NBA looked to stop Haywood from playing. In response, Haywood filed an anti-trust suit against the league, arguing that the four-year rule infringed on Haywood’s right to make a living. The case ultimately went before the Supreme Court, where, in a 7-2 decision, the Court upheld a lower court decision in favor of Haywood. The Court found that barring Haywood from the NBA would cause him “irreparable injury in that a substantial part of his playing career will have been dissipated.”

The witness made this testimony a few months after the situation occurred, which means that parts of her experiences that night could have very well been forgotten. Her recollection of that night is not one hundred percent accurate and should be taken with a grain of salt. The eyewitness makes the statement, “I know that’s the guy because he
In 1991, the Fab Five of Michigan University men’s basketball team impacted America’s traditions and morals. These five young, outspoken, rash African Americans not only stormed the court, but the media too. Making Americans question all that they knew, the Fab Five’s “us against the world” attitude and controversial decisions revolutionized basketball, for better or for worse, all while leaving behind a legacy of family and love.

In 1991, Michigan signed five of the nation’s top fifty high school recruits, and thus began the Fab Five era.

With the long history of wagering on horse here at the Keeneland Horse Track, Kentucky has a constitutional ban on casino-style gambling. He has been pushing for this amendment to pass since 2007, but the lawmakers are reluctant to support the move, knowing they may face disapproving constituents in future elections.
Some similarities are they both play professional basketball, both drafted out of high school into the NBA, and both have won Olympic gold medals in 2008. The differences are Kobe has been in the league for 15 years and LeBron for 9 years. Since in the NBA, LeBron has played for two teams and Kobe only one. Nevertheless if these two great athletes played a game against each other, the stats at the end of the game would determine who might be the better player for just that game. People may say LeBron was better because he has more power, better vision, bigger, faster, stronger, and he over powers people.
He was named the Rookie of the Year in 2006, which began a career that includes five consecutive All-Star game appearances from '08 until now, named twice to the All-NBA first team, and two Olympic gold medals with team USA (NBA.com: Chris Paul bio). In a game that is generally dominated by the taller and stronger players, Chris Paul exemplifies how the game should be played 'below the rim' so to speak. Peyton Manning is an NFL quarterback for the Denver that is known for making his career based off being intellectually on another level in his sport, making up for his lack of speed and athleticism with precision and seeing things on the field before they happen. Chris Paul has been compared as the 'Peyton Manning' of the basketball court, based on his craftiness and advanced intellectual understanding of the sport. Two off-seasons ago, Chris Paul was the cornerstone piece in a trade that placed him with the Los Angeles Clippers with fellow young superstar, Blake Griffin.
