text: who the best  player in the nba and in the nfl?   nba: kobe bryant  nfl: peyton manning  bryant is a gamebreaker.  it's been rare to see one player take over a game, ala jordan.  anyone who drops 81 on a team is a superior player.  manning is the best qb, and the offensive coordinator.  with all due respect to lt, michael turner could run behind the charger line and make up much of the yardage and tds.  take manning away from the colts, and they are a 0.500 team.
