All that is meaningless. They have very different playing styles. Just because I grew up imitating Jordan doesn't mean I have Jordan's game.
And Lebron's comment about the dunk contest was just to follow other greats that have participated. Doesn't mean he's imitating Kobe.
Fine. Whatever. Sometimes you see a little bit of someone in someone else, and it's nice. Lebron, to me is a smaller player trapped in bigger man's body and takes advantage of it. That's all.
