While Kobe may have a prettier offensive game, Lebron is the better player. I'm not the first to make this argument, but in the NBA, size and strength are very important skills. Lebron is a genetic freak in this regard (not to mention his speed/quickness). This gives him the ability to go to the rim at will, which creates higher percentage shots for himself than even Kobe can get.
He's also a better teammate. He would never have quit on his team like Kobe did Game 6 v. the Celts last year.
And whoever said Kobe's the better defender is wrong. Lebron can defend 4 positions, which Kobe cannot. And he could have been defensive player of the year this year.
Sofitel has amazing beds and is right near (but not on) Michigan Ave. I used to work in Chicago for a major consulting firm and they always put clients up at the Sofitel, Peninsula or Palmer House. The Westin River North is not too bad either; it's where I generally stay.
Second that Carmine's and Rosebud are good places and are near the Gold Coast/Michigan Ave. area you'll probably be. I'd also recommend getting drinks in the Signature Lounge at the top of the WaterTower hotel -- it's expensive but worth the view. Second City is a comedy club/show and is another good activity.
My buddy works for the NFL and talks with the teams often. His impression is Tebow would be a late second day pick (5th/6th round) if he came out this year. As McShay discussed, people have questions about arm strength/accuracy.
