[@theiggod6921]

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.

[@bigmacncheez1775]

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

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.

[@MetroLee]

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.

Three things in my opinion that make Kobe better than LeBron. 1. Footwork 2. Aggression 3. Defense (consistently)

[@jtbear77]

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

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.

[@OfficialRocNation]

Ok... better 1 on 1 player makes you the better player?

[@onurbole7921]

@@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.

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.

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

[@ericwatler23]

He always quit or acts like he hurt when he lose cramp boy

[@lpaschal8]

Lebron never gave up a 3-1 lead......... Kobetards keep trying

[@qdog42]

lpaschal8 Kobe 5 🏆 vs LeBron 3 🏆 LeBron joining the Heat with 2 other all Stars "Not one, not two, not three, not for four, not five, not six, not seven....." Lol GTFO

[@joanoliva8623]

Miss u Kobe

Legendary player kobe

[@yohanadipola443]

Can't we just enjoy this duel for a second and stop the comparing bullshit

[@batvigilante1827]

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

[@saiyajinbeard]

Casual fans who assume LeBron over Kobe really ignore how important fundamental footwork is to overall game.

[@johnwall1516]

Goat #FACTS

[@rickyqueen2621]

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 🦁

[@fredooogoated8335]

What about Kobe in 2011 how come he didn’t make the finals?

[@TruSteppa]

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 🤡

[@adamleon9128]

Lebron needed a superteam to compete in the east. Kobe needed Gasol to compete in the west

[@jomoharris4345]

Win the west, fuck competing it's about the W

[@TruSteppa]

🤡🤡🤡

[@kaikaichen]

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.

[@mai-xf4zw]

just appreciate their greatness!! these defenses would be foul in these day's NBA. I love that!!

[@DantheLakersfan]

If you drop 5 You not in my top 5!!! Kobe is Greater the Lechoke super team maker James!!

[@upnerom4565]

Dan the Lakers fan im a kobe fan but had games when he only scored 4

[@lpaschal8]

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

[@samsonpapaya8716]

Kobe killed the so called king and his sidekick, wow! He went up pulled his crown off and dunked the ball!😂

[@samsonpapaya8716]

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

[@samsonpapaya8716]

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!! 😡

[@TruSteppa]

@@samsonpapaya8716🤡🤡🤡🤡

[@Ksndfg]

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!!!

[@Ksndfg]

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

[@Hirotigashi]

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.

[@Ksndfg]

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.

[@alexcastillo4012]

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.

[@Ksndfg]

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.

[@montaellis2860]

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.

[@rainerignacio2625]

In this time miami is one of the strongest team but Lakers still win respect kobe

[@EDROCKSWOO]

I really dont remember lebron averaging 35 points a game a season hmm.. weird.

[@MM-fw3wr]

EDROCKSWOO I really don’t remember LeBron blowing a 3-1 lead to ring less Steve Nash hmm... weird.

[@EDROCKSWOO]

I really dont remember Kobe going 4-1 in the 2011 finals. When lebron average trash numbers and couldnt do sht.

[@MM-fw3wr]

EDROCKSWOO I really don’t remember LeBron choking in 2004 vs the Pistons, with a Shaq averaging 26.6 PPG on 63% FG, when Kobe tried to be FMVP and cost the team a ring.

[@lpaschal8]

I really don't remember Lebron averaging 27 shot attempts a game a season just to make 35ppg...hmmm weird... kobrick so many shots and so inefficient... oh he is all time brick man

[@jayvionwilliams4061]
