Come on- this isn't even a questionable debate. Anyone who suggests that Kobe is the top star is completely wrong and out of their mind. LeBron James is clearly the most talented player in the NBA by far. Kobe is a little close, but LeBron is just to talented and has a much better skill set than Kobe. LeBron James is the current star, without a doubt.
That's kind of a vague question... who is the best talent wise? Probably Kobe Bryant, then Lebron James, although LBJ is getting close enough so that the 2 can be interchanged on any given night. Kobe still has a greater skillset than Lebron, but Lebron is bigger and more powerful.
As for the "top star"? I would have to give this to Lebron as he's currently the poster boy for NBA at large.
