http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writ...kers/index.html Asked what his MVP ballot would look like, Bryant says, "I'm not even thinking about that." But when somebody mentions that the Cleveland Cavaliers' James is a favorite because he's a near one-man team, Bryant, who was averaging 28.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists through Sunday, snaps, "Put me in the East and see what happens."

I wouldn't say inflates stats, I would just say is much easier to win in. I thoroughly believe LeBron could average what he is averaging now, in the west.

There's nothing to argue about. What we both said is a fact, it doesn't matter if they had the same schedule either (which they didn't). To be fair though, I don't think Kobe is in his prime right now (somewhat close).
I hate that word empirically because I'm so ****ing lazy, I won't look it up. Please give me a definition.

Please give me a definition.</div> Looking at their production versus the East and West, Lebron's percentages and volume stats take somewhat of a dip against the West; whereas Kobe averages more Points, Rebounds, and Assists against the East (in less minutes per game) in 05-06 with a better TS%.

I know Kobe is leap frogs above LeBron but talking a cheap shot at him only glorifies the fact that he knows LeBron is going to be more talented than him or that is still hasn't matured at age 29.
Isn't the West stronger this season than its been in years? I can't remember the last time its been this stacked.
