While i am a huge Kobe fan i am sensible. Lebron is a complete freak of nature athletically. People say hes a better all around player but thats just not true. Kobe was definitely the better all-around player. He could score by posting you up, taking you to the rim, pull up, fade away you name it. He was also a great defender but i admit he's been tailing off lol lebron is not really a lock down defender in my eyes i've seen him get his ankle broken and everything else. Lebron is a power player and Kobe is a finess player its hard to really compare the two. But all around i give the edge to kobe
This is laughable^^ Kobe had SMUSH PARKER, CHRIS MIMH, KWAME BROWN, and other no name players on his team lol Lebron had quality players like Daniel Gibson, Anderson Varejao, Shannon Brown, Larry Hughes (when he was good) Damon Jones, and Sasha Pavlocic. Now im 109 % sure Lebron's team had better players bud. And second MICHAEL JORDAN COULDN'T DO IT ALONE EITHER SO WHAT'S YOUR POINT?!?
Kobe's team never got 4-0ed though.. And Kobe never faded under pressure
First off, stop multi-posting.
You are absolutely wrong; LeBron is the better all-around player not Kobe. For the offensive side all you did was name his offensive scoring skill which is not the only thing when talking about offense. On the offensive end LeBron is a better offensive rebounder, passer, facilitator, slasher, finisher at the rim, was/is more athletic, pick & roll/pick & pop ball handler, vision, and decision maker. Yes I agree, Kobe was a great defender and still considered somewhat good today, while as LeBron’s strengths on the defensive end is his versatility to guard 5 positions at a high level (He can guard some center but not the whole game, if the team needs a key stop on an elite big man they can put LeBron on him to try to get a key defensive stop which has happened on multiple occasions in the past). LeBron’s athletic ability also helps him on the defensive end, he plays the passing lanes well, probably has the most effective CD block in the game, gets defensive rebounds, is a great 1 on 1 defender, and he is good help defender too. BTW I have seen players from MJ, Kobe, Ben Wallace, Ron Artest, D12, Scottie Pippen, Gary Payton, Joe Dumars, etc… get crossed up, dunked on, (etc…). So my point is that great defenders do get embarrassed from time to time but it doesn’t change the fact that they are still great defenders.
Don’t take this personally but are you f*cking serious, LeBron had quality players? Hahahaha. Daniel Gibson only hit 3’s nothing else, Anderson Varejao was a hustler/agitator nothing else, Larry Hughes was somewhat of a scorer especially before LeBron got drafted but he quickly went on the decline after that, Shannon Brown rode bench (this wasn’t his LAL days), Damon Jones could hit a 3 from time to time nothing else, and Sacha Pavlocic was complete garbage. All of the players you named were below average/average players. His best teammates in his Cavs career was an old ass Shaq, an old ass Antawn Jamison, and Mo Williams who should thank LeBron for making him relevant. LeBron’s Cavs was definitely worse than Kobe’s LAL(no argument). Kobe probably had somewhere around 3 years where he really had no help while as LeBron had 7.
You must have forgotten Kobe’s LAL got swept by the Mavs in an embarrassing fashion a couple of years ago. Or are you just gonna say something like “but it wasn’t the finals”… the point is that his team still got swept. Also I want to hear your definition of “fading under pressure" because LeBron probably took on the most pressure a single professional athlete can face heading into game 6 vs Boston (which he completely destroyed them basically by himself).
