Kobe - 33 Pts, LBJ - 25 Pts 13 reb 7 ast www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201203040LAL.html
At the end of the day, I'll take Kobe's mentality over LeBron. LeBron is a quitter. He doesn't take losing seriously. After the Warriors blew him off the court in 5 games he had the nerve to smile and laugh at the podium. He talked about averaging a triple double. Losing didn't seem to bother him. I don't respect that.
TheIGGod cool story bro
TheIGGod exactly an gis fans r stupid to say lebron vetter just cause of stats if that were the case wilt Duncan shaq karemm an all the big man would be goats
Lol at this armchair psychologist.
HTTR he's more entertaining and had better skills but he's no where close to LeBron that's dumb ass hell from day one kobe improved his game inside out how ous kobe a better post player than LeBron Thay should be one area that not even close young ppl have no clue how good kobe was so many stuck on the last 4 to 5 injury fled years not to mention shyt like him having to change his form in 2009 because he broke his finger that would of side lined him for 6-8 weeks but he played thru it and balled out winning another rings talk about haters ..
@1:44 Kobe just pump faked the camera man
LOOOOOL a true legend
蔡宗翰 1:42
damm
Wade can never guard Kobe Lol
😂 right
Such an underrated season for Kobe. He put up MVP numbers and dragged his team into the playoffs before his body gave out on him. So sad it still breaks my heart today
Sounds similar to 2007 when bron dragged his team to the finals and was playing 1 on 5 against the Spurs
@@LilVenetian nah he just choked on final
Chris1979 averaging 22 7 and 7 against one of the best teams and franchises of all time is choking? Gtfo bro 😂
Jordan Vitale nah you wrong. You gtfo
Jordan Vitale 35%
i miss watching Kobe play :(
J Souza I feels you
People who choose LeBron over Kobe - Shannon LeSharpe, Nick Wright, Collin Cowherd, Jason Fatlock - Fans who started watching after 2011 People who choose Kobe over LeBron - Michael Jordan "GOAT" - Kareem Abdul Jabar, Larry Bird, Dr.J, Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley, Shaq, Scottie Pippen - Dwayne Wade, Tracy McGrady, Allen Iverson, Kevin Durant, Stephen Jackson, Damian Lillard, Andrew Wiggins, Ron Artest, Paul George, Tayshaun Prince, Kenyon Martin ETC. I think I'll agree with the opinion of NBA legends or people who actually played over some kid who looked up some stats on ESPN... The best athletes don't care about stats. You play sports to win, not for stats.
mastermike95 ok so robert horry top 10 all time
Quit playing stupid. Horry was never an all star and Bill Russel played in the pre-modern era with only 9 teams.
👍
mastermike95 plus the people you named for lebron work for the sports industries who are hell bent on making sure kobe isn't considered the best for the fact he has bad off court reputation
This is the point I've been trying to make
Kobe has one of the best looking shots ever and is easily the most skilled player ever!
I'll take the Kobe that dropped 50+ points back to back to back to back, the one that dropped 81, the one that dropped 60+ points and 20+ in the 4th, the one who's always been a lock down perimeter defender over prime LeBron. You can bring up stats, rings, accolades, and whatever else you want. But there's something about kobe that puts him above LeBron. Idk what it is. It could be that killer instinct and the fear hit put into people or how he wasn't scared to do anything or take on any challenge and never gave up on himself no matter how bad his shot was and no matter how many times he messed up. Even after those 3 airballs against Utah. It takes a brave person to shoot another shot in the WCF right after you airball. And then do it again and again. Or how he proved he didn't need shaq on his side to go get a ring. Or how he never left and quit on his team no matter how bad it got or how close he came to quitting on the Lakers. Or how if you made him mad, he would give you mad buckets. There's something about kobe that puts him above LeBron. You cant compare this thing with a stat or an accolade or whatever else. All you can do is use your eyes to see. (I'm not a huge Kobe or LeBron fan either). Prime Kobe > Prime LeBron LeBron is still a great and amazing player though
Ghettollama Fire ill take 4 mvps in 5 years prime lebron
i'll take a player who isn't known for scoring but yet averages more than elite scorers like kobe...someone that could take a team with no other allstar all the way to the finals beating grown men in the way..I'll take a player who is a model citizen and has never gotten in trouble....I'll take a player who has many legendary moments in the playoffs over someone with only 2 highlights (shot against phx and alley oop to shaq)...I'll take a player who was always the best player on his team since 18 years old over one that didn't become that till year 7 in the nba
Ghettollama Fire I respectfully disagree with you LeBron > Kobe
Ghettollama Fire Kobe 28-46 FG and 7-13 in 3pt for 81 Points vs Raptors 27-55 Lebron 22-33 FG and 8-10 in 3pt for 61 Points vs Bobcats 43-39 Lebron career high he had higher FG% an 3pt% then Kobe If Lebron took 46 shots he could have at least 90 Points if he wanted. Seasons avg 25 PPG or more with atleast 47% FG or higher Lebron 13 > Kobe 0 Seasons shooting 50% FG Lebron 7 > Kobe 0 Seasons Shooting atleast 56% FG Lebron 2 > Kobe 0 Seasons Shooting atleast 40% in 3pointers Lebron 1 > Kobe 0 NBA Finals 40 Point games Lebron 6 > Kobe 1 NBA Finals teammates avg 33 PPG plus Kobe 3 > Lebron 0 NBA Finals avg 33 PPG or higher Lebron 2 > Kobe 0 Lebron better then Kobe 😂😂😂
Prime Kobe vs Lebron Lebron 17 Kobe 5
Kobe could get at least 10 more free throws using the current standard in NBA
Man, i will never, ever forget this game, i was in the third row behind the Lakers bench, it was around 1200 dollars i believe, bought the ticket weeks before the game here from Peru where i live, it was going to be the first time for me to a NBA game (and till now the only one), i was on vacations for 2 weeks, days later Kobe got injured, i was about to cry, almost couldnt believe it, but then he said he was going to play the upcoming games, the "Mask Mamba" showed up, i remember i didnt even appreciate the game properly since i was amazed by being there right behind my idol every timeout or everytime he went to the bench, i brought an ipod and tried to record everything, months later my laptop got ruined and lost all the videos, damn, anyway, it was totally worth it, even the interview at the end of the game Kobe was very close to me, it was pure magic, great game with great all stars i will never forget. Kobe and Lakers fan for life.
Kobe all day!! Two superstars against one Kobe and he still dominated.
dwade wasn't the same dwade lil boy don't forget that and lebron had more wins against Kobe with a even worse team.
@@killinghawkz more wins with a better team lmao dummy
@@killinghawkz d wade was actually still reconsidered as one of the top players in the world at that time lil boy and from 2005-2007 Kobe did not have a better team
Consider*
3 Chris Bosh
Kobe has the best fade away jumper of all time.. he will be missed
Michael Jordan says "hi"
@Everett Ika Jordan's fadeaway>>>>>Kobe's fadeaway. Plain and simple.
Sam A MJ does .
@@xaviervega468 not
Three things in my opinion that make Kobe better than LeBron. 1. Footwork 2. Aggression 3. Defense (consistently)
Steffan Mosley what do you mean lebrons footwork ? He has one of the best fade-aways, and lebron is aggressive asl , lbj is a dominator , not a scorer, and he plays defense , except this lakers season
THEKING 03 Fadeaways and footwork are two different things watch some film on Kobe his footwork is second to The Dream. Regarding defense I disagree he not better an you see in parentheses consistently he’s not consistent
@@jtbear77 LeQueen has one of the best fade-aways???!!! WTH you Bronsexuals think actually...... Ok let's pass this and then talk about defense LBJ didn't play defense, at least didn't play well defense since 13 or 14, I don't remember the actual year. How come an aka No.1 in the league didn't get in the Defensive Team, even 3rd team, while still in his prime age?
Things that make lebron better than kobe: 1. Passing 2. Rebounding 3. Shooting(except FTs) 4. Dominance in the paint This isn't to disrespect both Lebron and Kobe in any way, it's just an analysis. Kobe has had a better career than lebron, but he isn't the better player.
Preet Adhikari shooting? not really dude. He has a higher percentage just bcoz he shot the ball closer u can find out the shooting percentage of mid range
Your the best great ang legend player forever for me... miss you BLACK MAMBA 😭
No one says LeBron is a better player than Kobe besides media personalities, Bronsexuals, children of Bronsexuals, or youngsters who never saw Kobe play in real time. No current NBA players ever said LeBron was better. No former NBA players ever said this. No Hall of Famers. No coaches. No one. Just the weird people I named. So you mean to tell me that ALL of these people are "hating" on LeBron? Like GTFOH saying Kobe not Top 5 scoring 81 of over 50 percent shooting in the era that was both the most skilled and physical at the same time...not one drastically overshadowing the other. You guys are weirdos. LeBron is amazing, but it's Kobe and everyone who has a high level knowledge of basketball is very well aware of this.
Chris Lee one regular season game doesn't mean shit lmao. I assume you think Booker > Lebron too because he has a higher career high, huh?
Jerry West is the man that brought Kobe to LA, and he said Lebron was better.
Chris Lee well put
Chris Lee So much false bs on this post. The lies need to stop.
Chris Lee all experts know lbj is better... and even if what u said were true opinions don't mean shit which is why LeBron is still better.
Two of the GOAT's going at it Gotta love this no matter who you think is better
Look at that Kobe taken on LeBron and Wade and neither one of those guys could stop him they were all just too good Kobe rules😎
Just look at the shots hes makin over great defensive players Wade, Battier, etc. Was a privilege to watch this man play
Kobe showed lebron you don't need to rely on superstars to win games this one he took the heat to school this game
4-1
LeBitch Got Outscored By A Bench Player #2011 so? lebron still better than kd dude
Stephen Curry Mavs 3 Lakers 0 Do or die game Game 4 Mavs 122 Lakers 86 Kobrick Bryant 7-18 FG and 0-5 in 3pt for 17 Points Jason Terry 11-14 FG and 9-10 in 3pt for 32 Points Peja Stojakovic 7-7 FG and 6-6 in 3pt for 21 Points Jason Kidd Locked Kobe's Ass down 😂😂 Kobe outscored by Bench Players 😂😂😂 Stop Kobrick Bryant from 6 Rings 😂 Mavs 4 Lakers 0 The 🐐 Jordan never choked like this
Kobe had a better squad than or just as talented squad - Lebron Heat - Top to bottom - Kobe - Wade, Lebron - Metta, Gasol - Bosh, Bynum - nobody, Fisher - Mario, HC Phil - Spo .....
that same bench player out played Kobrick & blew him out 4-0 #2011. One thing you can count on is that Kobetards are dumb!
How times the heat switched defenders on Kobe. But that shit didn't phase him.
Watching this in 2019 and man he just LED his team to a victory with a broken nose that requires him to wear a plastic mask and he is so calm and grounded
Miss you so much kobe..your the best player..
Kobe wore his mask because he got injured, Lebron wore a mask because he just got his eyebrows did
Rookie MJ Better Than Prime LeChoke L, that was corny af
Waniel Womar boy u been taking L's all over the place. U the LAST dude who deserved to respond to me. I been torching u all over the place and u can't keep up
hahahahahahaha
good 1
LeChoke Wishes He Was Michael Jordan you sir are the stupid
and there comes a time when arguing who is better is meaningless..RIP Mamba..
1:42 Even the camera man being faked on that shot
We love and miss you Kobe ❤️
Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are the two greatest players I’ve ever seen!! Lebron is right behind those two. #1- Michael Jordan #2- Kobe Bryant #3- Lebron James
Propably clean true
I have the same opinion
Propably clean truth
Lebron better than Kobe
you are entitled to your opinion but overall stats, accomplishments and head to head match-ups between the two say otherwise.
"Shaq carried Kobe" I don't remember shaq winning without Kobe or Wade. But he played with Penny, Eddie Jones, van Exel but somehow he carried Kobe? GTFOH. If anything Kobe and wade raised shaqs play over the top.
Kobe rode Shaq's nuts in 3 straight Finals.
Yeah he went to the finals with Penny his 2nd season in the league & lost to a more experience Rockets team with Hakeem. he didn't ply nobody on Hakeem level when he won with Kobe. Had Shaq stayed in Orlando he would have have had about 6 or 7 rings. GTFOHWTBS about Kobe. One thing you can count from Kobetards, they are dumb!
*SNEAKER HEAD* Drops mic & walks off...
Yeah but look at the average in all the SEMI AND Western CONFERENCES finals IT'S NOT CLOSE THE LAST TWO CHAMPIONSHIP RUNS KOBE WAS THAT GUY..SHAQ DIS NOT DOMINATE THE WEST LIKE HE DID THE CENTERS IN THE EAST
Kevin Durant Had Won A Scoring Title 4 Times In A Row.
Proof that Kobe was the greatest player in the league from 2003-2013
😂😂😂 Nope
agreed
@J Souza 2006-2010. 2001 and 2002 he wasn't even the best player on his own team. 2003-2005 Duncan was better. After 2010 Lebron was clearly better.
@@xaviervega468 You're snorting laced cocaine if you think little Timmy was better than Kobe in 2003-2005 LMAO
7honeybadger28 So just fuck the rest of the games played from 2009-2013????🤦🏾♂️
It’s nice to see this come to my recommendation feed
Can we stop comparing these too they are two goats of this generation as a lebron fan I still like Kobe just as much as lebron I grew up watching both of them now I’m 18 now I have the most respect for lebron cause he is gonna retire aand Kobe I cried watching his final game can we just appreciate both of them
King Wani if your 18 you didnt grow up to kobe
King Wani kobe started playing when you weren't even born
King Wani your 18? Kobe was drafted in 96 😂😂
U aren’t even a Lebron fan because he’s drawn at 2003 kid.
Gerry Buckets nigga what
I miss the Kobe vs LeBron debates people use to have at school when Kobe was in school.
Both of them all a different type of player
You want the ball in Kobe's hands when the game is on the line! You need Lebron to contribute with not only scoring but assists and rebounds! One is an elite scorer and the other is an all-around player.
Wahsake Films I mean lebron can score crazy tho....
Jordan Vitale Yes but Kobe has the upside with scoring is all I'm saying
Wahsake Films how when LeBron has better clutch stats.
Wahsake Films Yeah, that's why LeBron averages more PPG and a better FG% for his career....smh
lol ofcourse if kobe takes the most difficult shots EVER his fg% will drop and you know it
The Mamba assassin!
Don't forget Kobe has eliminated more 50 win teams in the Playoffs than LeBron
lebron eliminated the best team(73-9). so...
@@martinjohnson2830 that 73-9 team is Overrated
@@TheFlash-je3bl ok i don't really care whose better both a great player but you cant discredit the 73-9 team to prove your point.
@@mohdhafidz5250 Kobe has beaten MULTIPLE 50 win teams to even get to the Finals. LeBron didnt face anyone good until the Finals at the same age LeBron has only been to two more Finals than Kobe and he played in an easier conference
@@TheFlash-je3bl As i said, both a great player i'm just telling you not to discredit a 73-9 team.
Wade broke kobe's nose 👃!!! But kobe's broke Miami's heart ♥ 😂 😂 😂
Rest up Kobe 🙏🏿
Rip Kobe 1978-2020🕊🙏🏽
Kobe to DWade: *"I love it."*
What if the young prime kobe has already this kind of perimeter shooting back in the day?
Goat
appreciate greatness
Lets not forget Lebron got eliminated by Dwight Howard 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Who were his teammates again?
Chauncey Get-Yo-Bills-Up if you think Kobe was carried and didnt contribute you clearly didnt watch the lakers back then.
Jordan Vitale dude had what 66 wins? U saying he carried them to 66 wins without teammates? But then he lose to Dwight Coward of all people?😂
Lmao Lebum trash kobe way better
Scottie Pippen better than LeChoke Blames Playoffs basketball is different from the season Howard got better teammates and also have him the best center in the league giving troubles to the only strength of their team that is their frontcourt Big Z can't do anything to howard
Kobe so much more skilled than LeBron
Eren Nazir LeBron is the better all around player

Lebron so much a better All Around Player.....on player in HISTORY this season who will have 30K 8K 8K --- You kobetards are just dumb and delusional
"Basketball IQ Kobe" That's friggin hilarious. Kobe's busted ass shot selection ALONE kills any argument for Kobe's basketball IQ. Hell just watch the 2004 Finals. That was an friggin orgy of low basketball IQ from Kobe.
Waniel Womar Lebron is the better all around player. But kobr is the better BASKETBALL PLAYER. PLAIN AND FUCKINGSIMPLE
1:40 DAMN.Making one of the top5 all time greatest shooting guards completely lose you with a distance between just centimeters..
Remember watching this game and was so satisfied
Thats what im talking..... Now this is a Highlight! Gs GD....
My man's kobe is five and two in the NBA finals
Who’s here after watching D-Wade’s interview with KG?
RIP Kobe. You are one of the greatest in and off the court that we will miss. #goat #riparadise
Nice video and that’s players it’s fantastic
Watch Kobe Vs Lebron Team USA in Vegas...Kobe dominated lebron....
Ok... better 1 on 1 player makes you the better player?
@@OfficialRocNation Yes, if your team needs your iso scoring and on-ball defensive skills. Best team players have one specialized department around which their role is established in the team, and that lets everyone else do what they do best. That is the case even if you have other skills. For instance Bird never dominated the ball despite his playmaking skills, which meant lower individual assist averages but a better team. The same proved right when MJ stopped being the ball distributor after he had averaged 8 apg for a season. Filling stats sheets doesn't make someone a better team player, just like high assists don't mean you make your teammates better (and good passing skills doesn't mean good playmaking skills). Systems makes players better, not inflated all-around stats of individuals.
and hit a clutch 3 on em and then hit the game winner
@@OfficialRocNation 5 rings without going to wade bosh and ray allen then going to kyrie now Allen iverson carried a team with no talent on his back to the finals
@@OfficialRocNation go look up both of them all defense team lmao
Kobe dominations everywhere ~ We all know he’s the best till he broke his achilles
Kobe will be studied 100 years from now - lebron fan here but how can you not love love equally! -RIP KOBE&GIGI
Most skilled player of all time Ps he faked the camera man sum crazy
The Masked Mamba is Legendary.
This rivalry is one of the most legendary in NBA history! *DON'T @ ME!*
Back then it was all about the turn around jumper. Now it’s the step back 3.
Kobe and Gasol vs LeBron and Wade And Bosh!
Kobe showed who's more skilled than LeBron relys on pick&roll
If Kobe had gone to the NBA final in 2012, he probably could have beaten the Heat...
In the later half of his prime he beat two HoF caliber players one being in his absolute prime. Kogoat Bryant. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
kobe's defender was defensive player of the year 😮
Can't we just enjoy this duel for a second and stop the comparing bullshit
Kobe 5 rings with out a super team. Every single Ring LEbron got was based on joining another super star or waiting til Cleveland had superstar and promised him to get allstar before he came back. Kobe is the better player and competitor hands down.
Lebron never had the luxury of riding a teammates nuts in the Finals. Kobe rode Shaq's for 3 straight.
hmmmm ,love,kyrie and etec!!
MrGrownman455 U and your arguments are retarted. Kobe had one of the most dominant players of all time in shaq and completely got carried to his first ring as they would have won that with or without Kobe. Kobe has 5 rings yet only 2 fmvps yet LeBron has 3 rings but 3 fmpvs just shows how much more valuable LeBron was
Man i remember watching this game
As a Lakers fan at the time, this game was extremely satisfying because it was one of the very few times the Lakers were able to beat the "Big Three"-era Heat. And Kobe getting some friendly revenge against D-Wade for the inadvertent broken nose was a nice bonus too.
Kobe the last great Laker.
See how Old Kobe can beat James and 2 All-Stars.🔥
@Robert Phillips lol aint mean nothing , they never faced each the finals really don't matter its the regular season.. kawhi got winning record against lebron does that mean anything lol causal ass fans 😂
RIP Kobe,legends are forever
Casual fans who assume LeBron over Kobe really ignore how important fundamental footwork is to overall game.
Lebron is never better than kobe .
@Mmmm Chilling how is he better lmao watch lebrons best highlights and kobye's you'll see who's better "Mmmm Chilling"
Your saying lebron can score more than kobye?
@Mmmm Chilling and lebum is cheap version of Jerry west go to the big dance alot but don't win much & get praised as a great!! 🤣🤣
@Mmmm Chilling lmao lebron is a cheap version of dominique wilkins.
Rest n peace to kobe never take anything away from him but lebron is little better brah
Kobe the five time 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🐐.
Jay Lee Goat at what specifically?? Not at scoring or basketball
+Keyser Soze Just look up Kobe Bryant resume and you'll see what I mean.
Jay Lee The Only thing in his resume is 5 rings. One averaging 15ppg I might add. Not impressive enough to call the 🐐
+YogiYetiz_ Simple lebron outscored by a bench player in 2011 finals
The Goat at catching rape charges maybe.
Miss you so much Kobe )’
just appreciate their greatness!! these defenses would be foul in these day's NBA. I love that!!
See those moves those skills that he had. He's the closest thing to Michael and not the self-proclaimed GOAT lebum who can't even shoot free throws
Kobe would have TORCHED LeBron over the course of a seven game series!! We could've found out! But LeBron didn't hold up his End of the deal in 2009! 😔 Kobe is the 🦁
What about Kobe in 2011 how come he didn’t make the finals?
Your a straight clown if you think lebron would get torched by Kobe bozo you don’t know the game of basketball Kobe can’t even stay infront of lebron bozo 🤡
Goat #FACTS
look at the sportsmanship after the game its rare to see it these days of nba
He always quit or acts like he hurt when he lose cramp boy
Lebron never gave up a 3-1 lead......... Kobetards keep trying

Kobe is incredible ! If you only look at stats and numbers, is not on "mount rushmore", but when you watch him play, he's up there.
Legendary player kobe
If you drop 5 You not in my top 5!!! Kobe is Greater the Lechoke super team maker James!!
Dan the Lakers fan im a kobe fan but had games when he only scored 4
People who say Lebron is better than Kobe understand basketball. Lebron best straight from HS player #1 draft pick franchise player vs Kobe #13 to the bench player. Kobe played 20 seasons with 1 MVP, 2 final MVPs, 2 scoring titles and never had a season shooting over 46 % from the field (inefficient). These Kobetards want him to be greater than a guys with 1 scoring title, 4 MVPs, 3 final MVPs and 7 seasons shooting 50% from the field (efficient). Only players to win MVP, Finals MVP & Gold Medal in the same season - MJ & LBJ. Kobe has never been on this level. Kobe was blessed spending 8 seasons as Shaq's sidekick & having the knowledge of Phil Jackson. If Lebron's first 7 seasons with Cavs were played with Prime Shaq & Phil Jackson as HC, he would have 6-8 rings already. The Kobetards hype Kobe for team accomplishments that Shaq, Gasol & Phil Jackson got for him. Just look at his accomplishments when he didn't have any of the fore-mentioned. Kobe has be fortunate to have HOF coach & great teams. individually he hasn't out performed LeBron James and the sports writers & analysts understand this whereas the novice fan compare players based on highlight clips
Fuck you dude
Ipaschal8 thank you bro
Nigga stop hating they both great
Lol lebron didnt even score in the 4th
15-6 🤡
r.i.p goat. We will remember you.
RIP KOBE
kobe is better than shaq, lebron, bird, hakkeem
Marquil Jones He's better than the guy that carried him to most of his rings? lmao! All 4 are better than Kobe
Shaq, Lebron, & Hakeem all took a team to the Final's without another HOF ... name the time when Kobrick was that GREAT! One thing you can count on is that Kobetards are dumb!
Funny lakers almost got eliminated even with Kobe and Shaq ..Y’all forgot about the rest of the role players ? Oh and who did they go to to finish off games ? Certainly not Shaq lol ..Shaq was the most dominant but not the best player on that lakers squad
Irvin Lopez you're crazy or in denial if you think Shaq wasn't the best player on the Lakers from 97-04.
Chris Butler Kobe was def. Better in 02/03 season and 03/04 season. Kobe led the Lakers in scoring and led them in scoring in the first and second round in 03 (b4 being eliminated by the Spurs) and led them in scoring in the first, second round, and WCF in 2004. Shaq was out of shape and nearing the end of his prime by that time and Kobe was getting better every year and had officially entered his Mamba phase. Plus in the 18 playoff series the Lakers played in from 2000-2004, Kobe led the Lakers in scoring in 10 of those 18 series.
Kobe over LBJ imo tho.
+Bayou Beast An L because of what saying Kobe better and let me guess to you then that everybody got to say LBJ right please lbj have more and better help then both MJ and Kobe and still bitchin about shit like a punk as usual.
Jay Lee W we all know kobe was better
Jay Lee nope LeBron way better
+vero King I respect your opinion tho.
Jay Lee that's your opinion but I think LeBron is better imo
How could I ever forget the masked Mamba
Lebron needed a superteam to compete in the east. Kobe needed Gasol to compete in the west
Win the west, fuck competing it's about the W
🤡🤡🤡
Lebron lost 5 finals in his prime how is he better than Kobe or Jordan? Also , 3 of those losses the finals MVP were Sf's.U think Kobe or Jordan would let their opposing position win finals MVP on them? Fuck no!!! Lebron is a goat but he's not "The" Goat. Don't let stats dictate who's better, Kobe's a better offensive player and defensive player than Lebron nothing but facts!! If u disagree u not a hardcore basketball fan or started watching after Lebron joined the Heat in 2010. I''ve watched Kobe's career since 98 and he's the greatest player I've ever seen. This aint no hate to Lebron because i believe he's Top 5 all time but he's not better nor will he be the Goat . That ship has sailed a long time ago. Simple!!!
Go back and read my comment idiot where did i say Lebron wasn't great? I'll wait. And no loss is greater than the other lol its still an L
1. You're acting as though Lebron can't win more rings. 2. Out of the 22 matchups between Lebron and Kobe, Lebron has won 16 of them while averaging more points, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks than Kobe. 3. You're acting as though Kobe lead his team to his first 3 rings when it was actually Shaq who lead them while Kobe was the second option. 4. Lebron has had to face way harder competition in the Finals than Kobe or Jordan ever have. 5. Lebron will top Kobe and Jordan in points in less time, less shot attempts, and less misses, but with more assist and rebounds.
1. It doesn't matter if he win more rings he will never be the better player better career? Sure . 2. Once again you're letting the stats dictate your mind.Kobe owns him literally almost everytime they matchup. 3. Once again you're letting the stats dictate your mind. This is how i know u only look at stats and wasn't watching basketball back then because u would know they were both 1a and 1b. 4. Lebron only real competition was the Warriors every other finals he participated in he was the favorite . Do you not know how tough it was for Kobe to get to the finals having to go against Duncan, Garnett, Dirk, Nash, Melo, etc all in their primes also teams like the Trailblazers, Jazz, Rockets each year ? I mean damn i would hope Lebron would have some competition instead of just sweeping through the playoffs because of the weak ass eastern conference . 5. Once again you're letting the stats dictate your mind.
If you actually watched both of them play in their prime you could definitely see that Lebron is better. I'm not trying to hate but when you saw Kobe in 05-06 and the mid to late 2000's when he was at his prime he wasn't as good as LBJ in his prime. People also forget that they were a 7th seed with Kobe averaging 35 and they only got to a championship caliber level once they acquired Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum started to blossom. Those two were beasts on the boards and on defense. Before they got Gasol Kobe was demanding to be traded because he was tired of the Lakers being at the bottom of the west in the playoffs. I don't hate Kobe, I admire how much fortitude and tenacity he played with, but just on the eyeball test he wasn't as good as Lebron. At least that's my opinion from watching but of them play without too much bias.
Alex Castillo lol there's no way u can say Lebron prime is better then Kobe's. Especially if you're using the eye test.
rest in peace our Legend Kobe Bryant. :(
Black Mamba, Wade Prime, King
Kobe killed the so called king and his sidekick, wow! He went up pulled his crown off and dunked the ball!😂
Marc Bibanga well off the top of my head he has 5 championships and scoring 81pts in one game. I think lbj had a better scoring average though. Kobe had to share a lot of prime time with Shaquille lol
Marc Bibanga Kobe had a way better post game than Lebron I think. He was what I called a cleaner player. LBJ used to push people with his off hand out of the way and got away with it. He also traveled a lot without being called on it. Hence a better layup scoring average. But he is a laker now so I have to deal with that lmao! Damn corona virus! I wanted to see them win the finals!! 😡

" I think Lebron lost this argument.....
No one is better than Jordan. But I would take Lebron over Kobe any day.
Now let me throw a few at you Jordan 1-9 before Pippen never won a playoff series without pippen won only 1 playoff game before pippen Jordan got 2 Top 10 player within his 3rd season in the league. Lebron played 7 season for Cavs & never got a first round Top 10 player Jordan never beat the best teams of his era. Top teams in the 80s. He won when the league became watered down in the 90s. Jordan played in the era of the big men vs Lebron who play in the era of Great perimeter players Every team Lebron played in the finals have a better efficiency rating than the best team Jordan played in the Finals When Jordan retired his team won 2 less games, so much for Jordan greatness. When Lebron left Cavs they got 3 number 1 draft picks and became the worst team in the league. Lebron at 18 a franchise player in the NBA, Jordan was not good enough out HS. Lebron at 22 led a NBA franchise to the finals, Jordan was still playing college kids at that age Jordan had a HOF college & NBA Coach. Lebron had only rookie coaches and still he rose to greatness Jordan primarily guarded by Jeff Hornacek in 2 Finals. Jordan has multiple games shooting over 40 shots a game. lebron never took that many shots and only 3 points less than Jordan in PPG Lebron will pass Jordan in every major stat total.
Jackie Primus great list All people obsessed with LeBron should see this I agree with you
Xavier Vega sure just let kyrie or ray Allen take the game winner for him tho. There's like a 12 min vid showing all the choke jobs he has had in the 4th. Dude has no killer instinct when it matters most.
Naruto Uzumaki And Kobe has had Derek Fisher, Robert Horry, and Ron Artest hit game winners for him. Lebron 4th quarter stats in the Finals DESTROY Kobe's Lebron's Game 7 playoff stats also destroy Kobe's
Kobe was a clock player, lebron doesnt know how to end a game, thats the diferent between them
Record shows Lebron more clutch..... kobetards need a class in basketball stats 101
Rest in Peace Kobe, Gigi Bryant and the others.
A finals series vs these two would've been crazy
Kobe is the closest thing we will get to the GOAT Jordan. Lebron is the greatest flopper of all time. That's all he can do.
I Feel Like Yeezus any one with a brain knows LeBron is closer to MJ than Kobe why do you think MJ hates LeBron so much cause he's a threat to his legacy if he wasn't he would be sucking up to him every time
I Feel Like Yeezus GTFOH. He close to him in terms of playing style but not overall impact and greatness. Put it in proper context.
I Feel Like Yeezus Fax 💯
