text: LeBron has the best chance at winning his series. Kobe has the best chance at having a better series. LeBron has a little more around him than Kobe does, so Kobe should have bigger numbers. LeBron is playing the Wizards, who play questionable defense and Kobe is playing the Suns, who play no defense. Look for LeBron to advance, but Kobe to have a bigger series.
