He's the LAST player in the history of the game to win 1st Team All Defense + Scoring Leader/Champion/Title (lead the league in scoring) all in the same season (05-06). It's been nearly 2 decades. Almost 20 years. Only 2 other player prior did that, Michael Jordan and the logo, Mr. Jerry West.

[@kadinimdad]

@@jaydenfeagaiga4143 basketball has 10 players on the court 5 on 5, each team has a coach, and organized sets they play according to. It is played with a basketball 🏀 and players on each team attempt to score the ball responding to the other team’s organized defensive schemes. In this game, LeBron will thrive in that cuz that is HIS game. 1on1 is about learning the opposing player’s tendencies and to predict how a player will come off at each position on the court. That is Kobe’s game. If you asked LeBron to deal with Kobe in a playoff series, he will make it so he is always switched off of Kobe to get an easier matchup so he can either shoot over or find snipers on the perimeter to shoot. He will learn all of Kobe’s teams’ defensive structures and strengths and weaknesses of each player. Basketball is a game that can be played in many different ways, and is beyond the simply constraints of “can he guard him”. I understand Jordan’s style made you feel that way but this is basketball. Nobody ever said Bron can beat Kobe 1on1, anybody who is sensible and actually pays attention can differentiate both their games without looking like a fool online.

2013, Kobe's last dominant season before the achilles injury, that was right after Jordan said five is bigger than 1 or 2. That was the season when Kobe vouched they'll make the playoffs and he dragged them to 7th place. He also said Bryant is cursed much as he is, meaning the desire to be better, to guard perimeter players at age 34, and to have the desire to pursue championships.

Great work and insight. It really is. Bron got what I call "A to B" handles. He can get to where he going. But he isn't shifty or has the ball on a string type. He got the step back just like you pointed out, defensively staying on his shoulder and using the forearm as leverage.

[@nicholashackie1407]

I've always said that in 2013, kobe was still the best player in the nba and even should've won mvp. People loved to make big deal about lebron stats in year 17,, year 18...kobe was in his 17th season averaging 27 pts 6 reb 6 assists and still played shutdown defense against the alleged "mvp" in lebron. Lebron is great, but to me he will always be behind kobe in the all time rankings.

[@FireAngelChris]

This is just crazy how much y’all love to lie. Bron was by far the best player in the NBA in 2013 it’s not even close. Was the league MVP,Robbed of DPOY,back to back championship,finals MVP. Shot over 55% from the field 40% from 3. Durant was better too that year and one could make the argument Melo was better that year as well. All 3 of them finished top 3 in MVP 🤣🤣🤣

[@imsljr420]

JT Williamson then why can I back up what I said with EVIDENCE and you can't?

[@jtwilliamson8769]

***** There is no evidence supporting what you say, are you going to mention that Lebron has more wins against Kobe than Kobe has against Lebron? That has little to do with individual play, especially since they were very rarely matched up against each other when they played. Not to mention, Kobe's prime was over with by the time Lebron had entered his. Regardless, if you watch Kobe play defense on Lebron, even out of his prime, Kobe was able to D him up. When they individually matched up in the game Kobe was the one that was shining. If you want to talk about individual statistics overall, fair enough, Lebron wins. But Lebron was also #1 on his team from day 1, while Kobe didn't even start when he joined the league, even when he was good enough to. Not to mention his stats getting taken away by the most dominant center in the league. Which, you can say Shaq gave him 3 rings, but if that's the case then Kobe won 2 rings without Shaq which ties him with Lebron, but I think we both know Kobe could have won a couple rings without Shaq in the early 2000's. Lebron on the other hand only has 2 rings with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, who by the way, collectively are better than having Shaq on your team lol. If we're mentioning MVPs, they mean nothing lol. They're voted on by people who don't know what they're talking about and don't use basketball skill as a reason to vote, they use like or dislike. Which we all know that Kobe haters are ridiculous. Anything you wanna say that I didn't bring up?

[@imsljr420]

JT Williamson who would kobe team up with in the early 2000s to win rings if he didn't have shaq? if he teamed up with duncan or KG I agree he would win rings but just like with shaq he would be a sidekick to them, he would get carried by them...if he teamed up with someone else where he was the main guy they would fail. so why during their championship runs did shaq average more points, rebounds, blocks & better shooting % than wade and bosh combined? i saw a commercial where legends like jordan and duncan talk about how much the MVP means to them....iverson was disliked by the media & he got MVP.

[@Equalshares]

ysaiah manarin yup...all those extra let's say 8 shots that kobe jacked up could've been assist to either shaq for a dunk or a pass to an open player for a higher percentage shot...fisher & horry proved they can hit big shots so he could've passed to them more....also lets look at this FACT...in 2000 kobe average 15 ppg in the finals and lakers WON so obviously he didn't need to score 28. and NO lakers didn't start winning when kobe got good, they started winning when they got phil jackson to coach them.
