There are Lebron fans that say stats don't matter. Some of those people also happen to place Kobe above Lebron because of skill, influence and mentality/killer instinct. There are also people who are fans of both players. Don't speak for everyone, you're one person. And it's a fact that stats don't tell the whole story.

He was 6/24 FG this game and is the most overrated NBA player ever. That is fact. MJ owns Kobe and that is fact. Accept it. Kobe is 6-16 against LeGoat in his career. Lebron is his daddy. I'll give you Kobe top 15 all time, thats it. Also he was never a good passer or efficient scorer ever, not a superstar until Shaq was gone, and took advantage of a weak era. Kobe would've dropped 20 against the 2017 Warriors off of 6-29 shooting and 13 Free Throws. Accept it. He's a trash version of MJ, nothing more!!!!!!

[@pancheeetee]

I saw a lot of old games recently about kobe and I started to think about other things that it may not be pointed in here. It's a great video and a fine job as I said in other comment, but I'm half way there because now I'm in the belief that prime Kobe is better than Lebron, but he doesn't rank higher and he's not greater. From a guy who played this game (as an semi-pro level in argentina) and won and lost finals of the local and state championships, I think that there are many things to consider when comparing players. For example the system under where they're playing. While I think there's no doubt Lebron is a better passer, Kobe (and also MJ) are underrated because of the system and what the couch and the team ask them was to score the ball, they weren't ask like Lebron to create a play or run the floor as a PG. And I have two examples to support my point: 1) In 89 (correct me the year if I'm wrong) doug made MJ play as a PG for 11 games and guess what? He had 10 triple doubles with stats that would easily top Lebron, 33.6 PPG 11.4 APG 10.8 RPG 2) James harden went from a fine season to a triple double season (almost) with only big change: Mike DiAntoni and HIS SYSTEM who allowed james to handle more the ball and his team to shoot more. Did Harden went from a fine assist player to a Magic or Oscar level in one season? NO. The system allowed him to increase his stats. The same thing can be said about many things that, to me at least, put an end to a nonsense discussion about something that it's impossible to know. For example handchecking, the pacing, and many many more things. I love your videos, but at least in my opinion, having played the game for many years and playing finals and facing many different players (skilled in so many different ways), there's no point in saying one player is the GOAT because you can't compare eras and positions. How can you said that MJ was better than Bill Russell? You can't. Because how on earth are you going to evaluate pacing, rules, context, awards that didn't existed back then, technology, and the simple fact that MJ would have not exist if not Dr. J and all the players that came before him. There's a lot of fun in comparing and trying to put one above the other, but actually there's not a single argument that can be proven to put one player above the other (I mean players that are in the GOAT tier). I've always liked how hubbie brown said it: 4 best SG, 4 best PG, 4 best SF, 4 best PF and 4 best C of all time. And if I had to make it, I would prefer to put the best five from each decade (wich to be fair, it won't be accurate). Love your vids dom, have a nice day sir

[@kawaiiafangirl]

I do understand your first point. I do however, believe you'd have to take one or the other w/ LeBron. LeBron is a Point Forward for his entire career which bumps his APG stats more but I do believe that LeBron would be scoring on a level similar to Kobe and MJ were it not for him having to play point so much and only looking for his shots. That could also make him spend more energy on the defensive end (his defense isn't lacking like many LeBron haters make it out to be- I think Jordan was greater bc he was locked in more as a defender while Kobe was overrated in that department once he got into his mid-20s imo). Also, if LeBron played under Phil Jackson like MJ and Kobe did, he'd win a lot more in the Finals which would also help his argument as one of the greatest ever. As dominant as Jordan was during that Point Guard period, it didn't come w/o any drawbacks. The Bulls were 34-23 before the Bulls' Jordan-Point-Guard experiment and while it started strong (the Bulls won 11 of the first 14 games), they would go on to lose 8 of their final 10 games. So, while Jordan got incredible numbers during that period, the Bulls only had a 13-11 record in the same span for a 54.2% win percentage. Compare that to their pre-Jordan-Point-Guard period Bulls who were a 59.7% win team. The Pistons also liked this version of Jordan more as they believed that they'd just let MJ score as many points as he wants but let the rest of the team beat them. By the end of that season, there were reports that Jordan found it too exhausting to be the PG while also being a dominant scorer and being an incredible defender simultaneously. Kobe had a similar span (albeit far less dominant and w/ a smaller sample size) in 2013. He averaged 11.2 APG in 5 games but only scored 16.6 PPG. Similarly in the 2003 season, he once averaged 10.3 APG in a 6-game span (the Lakers only went 3-3) and his scoring lowered to 22.3 PPG when he was averaging 29 a game just before that stretch. In other words, playing PG would absolutely lead to a higher APG but it doesn't exactly mean that it's the best thing you can be for your team. In Kobe's case also, his scoring lowered big time compared to MJ and LeBron. It's similar to KG and Duncan- both are selfless, defensive-minded, and high-IQ Power Forwards, but Duncan just happened to be drafted by the best NBA organization of the 21st century while KG was drafted by Minnesota. Had they switched positions, Duncan's stats would be greater while KG would win more championships.

Lebron wouldn't go to San antonio, there he has a coach to call him out whenever he messes up and lebron doesn't like that. Spurs also play team ball, meaning lebron stats will drop and you know lebron is a big stat guy. Dont let lebrons relationship with pop fool you, that team would not do well if lebron joins them. 2011 heat was a great example. Lebron actually tried to get Eric spo fired because he was calling lebron out on plays where he didnt do well but pat riley rejected his wish and won 2 rings there. Then in Cleveland he gets David blatt fired for ty lue? If lebron truly wanted to play for a real coach, why did he get blatt fired? I'm not hating on lebron. In fact I have him as a top ten player all time. But lebron likes puppet coaches, hence is the reason why he wanted lue in LA.

"At leasst kobe isnt afraid to shoot" Yet he has the most missed shots of all time. Small forwards aren't required to shoot as much as shooting guards. There is a lot more to the game than just scoring, yet even in that aspect LeBron still surpasses Kobe in points and player efficiency.

[@eciohc75]

As a Lebron fan, I believe Kobe is as good as Lebron in terms of his overall game. Kobe is probably the best difficult shot maker of all time. My only issue is that his shot selection sometimes hurt his impact on the game. Therefore Lebron ends up having a better impact. However, when all the hard shots go in, it makes Kobe look so unstoppable and donminant, which LBJ barely did. That impression makes Kobe so lovable. Lebron passes more when he doesn't have a good game. That's better for the team. But always playing so reasonable makes his game less exciting some time for fans who just want to see some fancy stuff. Playing right BBall when being a passer with spacing doesn't looks eyes-poping. Plus, Lebron's stiff form doesn't help much. In terms of point production from a player, adjust to pace and era, there are a few best season. I know this from Ben Taylor, the professional NBA writer. Those are Shaq's one best season, MJ and Lebron's MVP-leveled seasons, and Stephen Curry's 73 wins season. Lebron and MJ are so productive due to the circumstances they're in and their ability to help the team with so many ways. I love Kobe's game a bit more when I was a kid. As I learned more about more NBA offense more I started to appreciate how ball movement works. After that, I start to see how Lebron manipulates both teams. It's incredible. His ability to pass to everywhere with speed and precision is a cheat code that takes a more deep look to figure it out.

[@drfredostein4410]

TNL Spider Draymond got himself suspended by taking it off the deep end, and that was also for 1 game, Game 5, after they were up 3-1! So lets say that the Cavs win Game 5 because Draymond was gone (even though they still would’ve won) then Draymond is back for Games 6+7 to close it out. That suspension makes no difference to the outcome of that series.

[@drfredostein4410]

TNL Spider it doesn’t particularly matter who started it, Draymond escalated it and got suspended. The Cavs won by 15 points, I don’t think the Warriors would’ve won but who’s to say, and it doesn’t matter BECAUSE THEY HAD GAME 6 AND 7 TO CLOSE OUT THE SERIES!!

Kobe is a once every 10-15 years type of player, Lebron is a one in a lifetime type of player. We've seen players like Kobe before and we'll see players like him in the near future. We've never seen a player like Lebron. 250 lbs. with that type of athleticism is unheard of. You can put Lebron in any team and they are automatically making the playoffs. As talented as Kobe is, I'm not so sure you can say the same about him.

The one thing I can say confidently about Kobe is I don’t think we will ever see his work ethic again.

And the same can’t be said about Lebron? His comeback versus Detroit, 2012 game 6 vs Boston, 2013 Finals Games 6 and 7, the 3-1 comeback in 2016, and the utter dominance of the Raptors and comeback versus Celtics in 2018 match up very well against Kobe’s playoff performances

R.I.P KOBE

[@superiorgaming9399]

Consider this: Kobe beat the Magic and Celtics in back-to-back finals, the same teams that LeBron lost to in the playoffs. Kobe also had much tougher competition and much less teamate help than LeBron. Sure, he had Shaq and later Pau Gasol, but LeBron's played with D-Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, and now Anthony Davis. If you look at their FG%, relative to their era and positions, they were about as efficient as each other. When it comes down to it, Kobe was a winner who didn't need to jump ship to win a championship.

[@cherimoneeboone7127]

And who had a better team Kobe or lebron?

[@superiorgaming9399]

​@@cherimoneeboone7127During the 2008-2010 seasons, I would honestly say LeBron had the better team, but the difference is so close that it's negligible. Comparing the early 2000s Lakers to LeBron's Heat teams and 2nd stint with the Cavs, LeBron easily had more help surrounding him. Having D-Wade & Bosh, Kyrie and Love, and AD with great depth are each without a doubt more help than Shaq, even if none of those guys were better than him.

[@quinnwred1920]

Something I want to point out is that you’re pointing out the best moments from lebrons championship runs and the worst moments from when Kobe lost in the finals

That's because the review is quite biased really, and is created to glorify Lebron while depricating Kobe. Yknw, nobody can take away Lebron's greatness. He is a marvel and we are incredibly lucky to have gotten to watch him play at this kind of level for this long. However, we were very fortunate to get to watch Kobe too, and I'm sure in time he will be held in the correct regard that he deserves.
