LEBRON James Vs KOBE Bryant - Who's better?

[Maldreil]

Kobe, I will list reasons, you look at their game, and if you watch their best games, Lebron is no where near as good as kobe, he can't shoot, he honestly can't do anything besides dunk. He is a huge body, the biggest shooting guard/foward with the most athletism ever. He is a A player, but he isn't the best. MY opinion Is lebron is overrated because he dunks so cool. I go for wins and championships, and Who relates to the number 1 player to ever live, which is michael and the game looks just alike, look at michaels fade away then look at kobes, then look at lebrons, and tell me when you laugh, of course it will be at lebrons, hes a sell out, scared he will never win a championship, so he goes with 2 of the top 3 players in the nba at their position. Thats like kobe going to the magic and them pulling in rondo lol... kobe wins championships taking less money and selling out... your garbage lebron go a game without dunking so hard, you'll look like an average player.

You don't know anything about basketball if you say Lebron is only good because he is a great dunker. And Kobe has one of the highest salaries in the league.

Exactly, i siad kobe don't take less money to win, he makes bank and wins bro.. and i own at basketball... and lebron is overrated, HE CANT SHOOT CAN'T CLUTCH CAN'T WIN GO HOME.

What has lebron done to prove he is good.

NBA experience doesn't necessarily mean your better.

Lebron had the advantage of doing whatever he wanted because he was on a crappy team when he was a rookie. They gave him the room to grow and develop as a player (not so much as a person...).

Many good (up and coming also) players have this advantage such as Reke (Kings), Curry (Warriors). The greats: Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Kareem, Michael Jordan also had this advantage, kind of.

That's very true. But Kobe has had more time to flourish as a player considering he has been in the league longer. I believe that Lebron will become better after a few more years in the league.

What has lebron done to prove he is good.

Lebron lead the Cavs to the finals in 2007. His career average is 28 points a game. He has numerous highlights and awards. And you're saying he isn't good?

Lebron also had the luxury of unlimited playing time his first 5 years.

Lead them to the finals, to lose, you can win regular season games and playoff games until it matters, yeah thats what i would rather do win everything,but the one thing that matters... numerous highlights, what does highlights of him dunking have to do with him being a good basketball player, i'm saying he is an overrated player, he can dunk and score 90% of his points in the paint, he can't close a game, he makes 1 game winner bank shot and goes nuts.. kobe makes a game winner, walks off and knows it comes every time he steps to the floor, lebron gets excited, kobe is confident and knows its going it, lebron throws up a prayer and luckly makes it and goes like its his first blowjob.

Look..I'm not saying Lebron is the better player. But he is NOT overrated. Lebron's career ppg is actually higher then Kobe's ppg is. He's a one time scoring champion. His career field goal percentage is higher too. How could all of these things make him an overrated player?

Lebron was never limited on playing time on the sorry ass Cavs.

Not trying to bash him or anything... But when on paper your the "champs" for 2 seasons, but fail, something wrong happened. He was the leader of the paper champs.

Both players have different styles of the game. Kobe takes more jumpers then Lebron, hence a lower FG%. A majority of Lebron's shots are closer in from driving.

I agree with you completely. But he isn't an overrated player like the guy above suggests. Honestly, i would take Kobe over Lebron because i believe he is better then him at the moment. And if Lebron wasn't playing the whole game, nobody would have wanted to watch the cavs play.

 

[Deluxe 247]

Kobe's a lot better imo, he's the complete package for an NBA player, Lebron has got some work to do.

 

[Killer Kid]

Im a big laker fan but honestly this is a tough question. Kobe is a better team leader and knows how to get things accomplished while lebron is better stat wise. If they played 1 on 1 lebron would win as he is way bigger than kobe.

 

[Englishh]

Kobe is the best nuff said

 

[0 w n t z]

Kobe Bryant, Kobe is more cluctch,he never gives up and allways trys his hardest,he isnt that cocky either...Only when people piss him off he is when he makes ridiculous shots form outside the arc or rediculous dunks..

Thread is over if your talking about 1 on 1.

I'd say Lebron, because he was drafted right out of highschool, i might be wrong. But i don't follow basketball too much.

SO was kobe..

Michael, Wilt, Bill all weren't drafted out of high school. Does that mean Lebron>any legend who didn't get drafted out of high school? I'll take those scrubs Michael or Magic over that choker.

Ok

Simply put, Lebron James is probably the most insanely gifted athletic freak the NBA has ever seen, not to take anything away from him. He has the ability to get into the lane and takes a load of contact because of his physique. His ability to look for open teammates because of his heights/physique above opposing guards/forwards guarding him. He can rebound also because of his insane athleticism and physique. He has the whole package, because he is GIFTed. I said Gifted not because he is good. He CAN be a lot better and he knows it. However, those parties ain't going to help at all.

Kobe, a 6-6 SG, who does not have the same body built as Lebron is still able to take contact when going to the lane. His dedication to the game has perfected his basketball skills. He possessed one of the best jumpshots and mid-range games. His rebounds and assists ratio are lower simply because he does not have Lebron's built. (not to take anything away from Lebron) Kobe is also a superior defender compare to Lebron who piles up blocks because of his athleticism supremacy over opposing players.

Simply put Kobe > LeBron. (not on paper). In a few years from now when age is starting to hurt Lebron, unless he starts perfecting a game that does not require using his athleticism to WIN all the time, he will not have a great second half career.
