Roy > Lebron and Kobe repost? http://www.nba.com/video/channels/playoffs/2009/04/29/nba_20090429_artest_sot.nba/ gist of what Artest said Artest - "Roy's probably the best player I've played against." Craig Sager -"He's a better player than Kobe and Lebon?" Artest - "His defense is suspect, but he is; he's the best player I've played against."

Re: Artest:"Roy better than Kobe or LeBron LeBron is not as efficient against the top teams in the league, Kobe was money against them this year; so I'd disagree with the disparity. Overall I just like the West more for those kinds of reasons. I'm sure the Blazers will be serious contenders in the future, they just need a little more seasoning.
