@@josephschmizzo1595 LeBron averaged higher ppg in his first ever playoff series than Kobe did in any series. Kobe shot above 43% from the field (a below-average mark) in the finals only once in 7 tries and a combined 29.7% from the field in the 4th quarter of his last two finals series. LeBron is the better passer/playmaker, rebounder, help defender, rim protector, and scorer (by every efficiency metric except mid-range and free throw %). Kobe's highest ts% for a postseason is a mere 0.4% higher than LeBron's average ts% in the playoffs. LeBron has more of nigh every award in the book except defensive team selections (which Kobe's own coach said wasn't always deserved) and championships. Kobe was a 22.3-5.8-3.5-1.2-0.6 statline on 41.4% shooting in elimination games in his career compared to LeBron's historic 33.5-10.7-7.5-1.6-1 on 48.8%. LeBron has 5 game-winning buzzer beaters in the playoffs to Kobe's 1 and (sorry for including something subjective) _way_ more legacy-defining playoff games. Kobe missed the playoffs in 2005 after the Lakers made the finals the previous year, and he blew a 3-1 lead to the Suns in 2006, something LeBron has never done, let alone in the first round of the playoffs. I'm getting bored, so I'll stop here.

@Minimal Interest Shit at least he cud shoot!

It seemed like he lost it wen he went back to the cavs for the 1st two yrs. He was superb in game 5, and came up clutch with the 3 in game 7 2016. And then he started gettin good again with his 3s in 16-17. Then it was his father prime seaon in 17-18. Best one since his 12-13 season. And to wrap it up he's done pretty good shooting on the Lakers so far 😀

Lebron in finals losses has better performances than Jordan’s wins. 2015 loss he was the first player to lead BOTH finals teams in points, rebounds, and assist - facing the best shooters all time and mvp and dpoy. 2016 came back 3-1 and was the first player to lead BOTH FINALS TEAMS (jordan could never) in points, rebounds, assist, blocks, AND steals.

Kobe had a bad second half and when Bron made that run in the 4th Kobe was on the bench for like 5 of those minutes. Ultimately, Shame we didn’t get to see them matchup in the finals.

@@yayo4slugzallen121 can’t go wrong with that it’s a toss up for some but I put Kobe ahead because Kobe went back to back titles twice in that decade and Duncan never did. He also went to 7 finals in 10 years. Duncan started the era amazing but he was not the same player at the end of the decade, I believe 07 onward he averaged 20 or less for the remainder of his career. Turn of the decade he had avg 13 a game such a huge dropoff whereas Kobe was still avg 25+ for a few more years before the Achilles gave out. Also, Kobe was #1 in scoring for the decade, and his franchise had a lot of turnaround from GM (Jerry to mitch), players obviously shaq trade, coaches with Phil leaving and having Rudy and then Phil returning, the rise and fall and rise again of the lakers is something I admire too much to put Timmy ahead.
