I'm in Nazi now I published they want to put three or four essay yeah. An easy at his best he's a better player and Colby is best. I think LeBron is right now -- level right now higher than Kobe ever play in. But he's gonna win more championships -- -- Well if you think he's better than Colby at his best because. Well well why. He's a better all around where. Better defender. Better passer. Better rebounder -- which have been shortly and that I think Kobe was a better defender in his prime -- we actually got called for files that you can't what's brought it which can't be considered. You can't be considered a great defensive player -- he says LeBron defense all these position. C a guy who. Guard point guard he can guard three Egypt and guard force. And you never called for follow this like this fall aren't what Denny's and but it's a little help -- he's all right we're getting some assistance so I don't think legitimately. He's as great defensively as Colby was -- Mikey or which shows us what is -- is it true or not. How is that not a spot I think created the situation with the situation exists is he really giving you did better shooter he better -- -- so that's the one definite for Kobe no question. No doubt about it. But I'll tell you what he's gotten better what's -- from the field this year. It's crazy I mean he's writing a letter to run it crazy level right now I think -- level right now is the highest I've seen by any player. I think since. Decent short and your -- Is not a victory or just sector when than. Danica Patrick on the Daytona 500 pole positions he is the first woman to do so is this accomplishment meaningful or meaningless. -- Well I mean I think it's great.
