All y'all replying to my troll comment should get that d out yo mouth 😂.

[@reallyrandell]

Kobe has a few signature moments on the defense end. 1. Locking up Kyrie on an island by himself with the world anticipating the match up after Kyrie challenged him in the summer. 2. Locking up D Wade picking him up 94 feet and forcing a turnover (Travel). 3. Picking up Lebron 94 feet in the All Star game and locking him up over and over again. I'd argue Lebron was actually scared in this moment and is why he passed the ball during crunch time. 4. Team USA, Kobe was the best defensive player on that team and proved it in practice first and by guarding all the best players.

I would flat out say Kobe was a better shooter than LeBron, you don’t even need to say just off the dribble. People never went under a screen on Kobe Bryant. But I don’t think you mentioning handles is a big deal because they both made plays effectively as a whole. Also better layup and dunk package may be true but it’s not as big of a deal as the other points you made given that LeBron is just flat out better from 0-3 feet.

It’s pretty simple if you ask me. Kobe is clearly better at the POA. He was a hound and one of the best ever during the early 2000’s. Lebron is the better help defender as he’s switchable as anyone ever. He can’t guard 1-5 for a whole game but he can do it for some possessions at a high level and can completely blow up a teams action on his own. His physical ability allowed him to plug many holes his teammates might’ve left in the defense. Which skill set you value more is completely up to you but I think team defenders can impact the game in more ways since they’re guarding the floor rather than just one guy most of the time.

[@CatoProduction]

Yes he has wtf. Do your research before you hate and learn to comprehend. No one is saying he’s a lockdown defender in every position. The point is that if Lebron was to switch on 1-5 we will feel comfortable and confident with him doing it more than 99% of players in nba history. He’s guarded players Steph, Drose, Harden, Oladipo, Kd, Giannis Murray, Duncan, Kg, Dwight, Paul Pierce, Gasol, Draymond, Jokic, Roy H, Kawhi, Westbrook and etc. All of these players he has successfully guarded them in crucial moments numerous times. Draymond and Scottie Pip are the only other 2 that can do that. But Scottie never played against guards like Steph, Rose and Harden. Draymond plays with Steph and didn’t experience prime d rose. So Bron is probably one of the best.

When I think of skill I think of everything: 3 point and mid range shooting, finishing, playmaking, offensive and defensive rebounding, perimeter and interior defense, free throw shooting, so there’s a lot that goes into it. I overall believe that LeBron is more skilled cuz he’s better at most of these things. He’s obviously a better playmaker, a better rebounder, the defense is close in their primes, he’s a better 3 point shooter and finisher. We can argue that Kobe is the second most skilled player of all time but it’s definitely up for debate. I’m not a Kobe hater but he’s definitely in my top 2-3 of most skilled players of all time.

15:12 u can say that about the entirety of nba history. That’s what makes u the best. Nobody is close to u.

[@Afrivue]

Mannnnnn yalll suck at these debates. LBJ was blocking centers, shutting down centers, One time they put LBJ on Roy Hibbert and he shut him down. Pau Gasol and he shut him down. I watched well over 500 LBJ regular season games, and well over 100 plus playoff games. I watch every single finals game, ECF games. I watch LBJ preaseason games. LBJ had shut down Tony Parket, Manu one time. LBJ was a specialist on defense. They would assign him to many different players through out games. He shut down Jakim Noah, thats why buddy hate him. Come on man i wish I was on this episode.

Kobe got 9x first all D being two way for half your career is a skill

[@lutzismail7874]

Marz was cooking Chill Town Big Time.

[@cybersecurity336]

haven't watched players choice in a while dude to work. This was nice to watch. Gj Marz and Domo

[@khalilcruz5816]

Geeezusss Marz went on a cooking spree lmao

[@danieltatum4262]

Lebron doesn’t even have a pull up game 😂😂 GTFO

[@np134]

They really need to recognize when two people like Marz and Chill are having a indepth, heated discussion they need to be on the screen alone, side by side and everyone else needs to be muted until there's dead air. No one needed to hear what Swipa or that other guy had to say because it just interjects the flow of the conversation at that time and it's too many people talking at once.

[@demorriojones5010]

Ron artest, tayshaun prince, Tony Allen, dude from Phoenix, Bruce Bowen, Shane Battier, if I thought about could come wit at least 4/5 more. Mannn stop the competition for for best defender in Kobe peak is different

[@jacoblee5796]

Kobe was never really that great of a defender, he was very early in his career but Kobe's defense fell off a cliff starting around 03-04. Kobe might be one of the most overrated defenders of all time.

[@teal2913]

19:35 ELITE analogy outta Marz there. Absolute haymaker. Ended the debate

[@Kalinbuggs]

The dude in the tan suit doesn’t know ball

[@ba__con]

Whenever I'm getting stuck at an argument between two players I ask two question ... as a hooper who are you looking to pick up on the playground ... 2nd question which player between the two would most NBA GMs pick to build around for their franchise .... to both qs the answer is lebron .. i just think he's a superior player with no disrespect to kobe and on both ends overall.

[@Frm662]

Keep cooking Marz these guys in they feelings bout Bron 😂😂😂

[@THISISRISE]

Ball handling kobe Shooting kobe Left hand kobe Footwork kobe Post game kobe Either should turn kobe Defense kobe Freethrows kobe Lebron only has passing. That's it.

[@jamesdooley6431]

Bro bron would switch on too the best player some time in the 4th but this notion he was locking up the other teams best offensive player especially bigs is just not true at all

[@devontefigures2289]

Kobe Footwork Free throw Defense Offense IQ

[@eureka9113]

Dude thinks prime Tim duncan is a better defender than prime bron lol

[@YFGMBlogTv]

The Kobe hate is real and lbj % is high because he attack the rim a lot

[@SmokeRichBiggs]

Marz said what giannis doing now is what lebron was doing in miami……..that might one of the worst takes ive ever heard

[@georgeaustiniv2456]

“Swipa! Stop being nasty!”😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@JahHoopz]

Kobe's handles are way better, footwork is better, defense is better, shot making is better, post-up game is better, more creative dunker etc. LeBron only better at Finishing, passing and rebounding but Kobe was good at those things too. Of course LeBron's army is gonna hide behind stats like they always do but LeBron's fg% is only higher because most of his points are layups and dunks.
