Why do people put Lebron James in the same conversation as KOBE?

LeBITCH james is SO overrated, people like him because hes explosive does NOT mean he is a good basketball player, this year he has 2 top notch players on his team and still will not go NOWHERE(nor in the future) ... Kobe is one the greatest players of all time maybe even #1 .. to even argue that lebron james is anywhere near him or will accomplish want kobe did is INSANE... james is in his prime now and other players still shitt on him... (Durant, Kobe, Rose, Wade)...
