Kobe Bryant hasn't had a great start to what looks to be his final season. He's shooting 32 percent from the floor, airballing multiple threes in the same game, and, oh yeah, the Lakers are 0-4. It has gotten so bad that Kobe himself said "I freaking suck" after a recent game.

Well, apparently not everybody thinks Kobe sucks.

After the Cavs' win over the 76ers on Monday night (and admittedly before Kobe went 4 of 11 from the floor for 11 points against the Nuggets), LeBron James offered his opinion on the Black Mamba's recent struggles. According to Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal:

None

So it's not the fact that Kobe is 37 years old, has more miles on his legs than anyone currently in the league not named Kevin Garnett or Tim Duncan, and has spent the majority of his life in the NBA? No? C'mon, LeBron.

And although we all respect Kobe as one of the greatest to ever touch a basketball...he might not be lying about sucking right now.
