Your comment saying kobe not a top team player is ridiculous. How could he not be a team player when he was the leader who kept his guys in position, engaged, understanding the way to win and etc. Just cause he took over games as much doesn't mean he didn't by into any thing that the coaches game plan was. Look at all his championship runs to the finals and Western conference games see how many times he lead the team and run the offense so that they could be in position to win. That wasn't all smush Parker and Derek fisher, alot of that was kobe. Ppl think just cause you have a ego and attitude doesn't mean you not a team player and leader. Everyone attributes lebron as a team player cause his style of play and personality, and lebron game is that of Magic but throughout magic time everyone new he had a killer instinct, he was a serious winner and was hard on his teammates. So kill that noise ppl just hate on Kobe completely.

Lebron went to 10 straight finals because he was good enough to get any team to the finals. Kobe wasn’t good enough to do that buddy

I wish more Kobe fans are like you, civilized and reasonable. I am a Lebron guy. I'll take Lebron over Kobe. You will probably do otherwise, but TBH, I can respect people who think Kobe is better than Lebron, as long as respect Lebron's greatness, which you do. In many ways, I do hope we can stop all time Lebron vs Kobe, Lebron vs Jordan, Jordan vs Kobe, Kobe vs Duncan etc debate, they all all time great, there is no need to compare.

Lebron aint whoop Kobe’s ass lol he got stripped and facialized by Kobe. Lebron was cooking Odom.

Thats a fact . KOBE's fans use all kind of lame excuses for how LEBRON beat KOBE majority of the times, lol,,, but the reality is LEBRON and his CAVS got a winning record vs KOBE between the seasons of - (2003 - 2010)

Kobe can shoot drive and pass (james is better). Kobe in his prime was athletic too. Dont tweak

Kobe can only shoot 😂 tell us you don’t know basketball without telling us you don’t know basketball

@@jacobyjonez9900 better handle, footwork, post game, and a better defender. YOU dont know the game

@@henrybenjamin9841 huh? I was responding to the comment he said Kobe can only shoot, I was laughing saying he doesn’t know the game the only thing Lebron does better than Kobe is pass that’s about it

KOBE got a LOSING RECORD with the LAKERS against LEBRON's Cavs between - (2003 - 2010) regardless of the narrative youre trying to spew

And KOBE lost with DWIGHT HOWARD, STEVE NASH and PAU GASOL with hall of fame Coach PHIL JACKSON . LEBRON won with an old past prime DWIGHT HOWARD

@Andres Del Portillo I most definitely agree 👍🏾👍🏾😂😅💯

Kobe is the goat

I absolutely love Kobe and have watched him play since the 90's and I am a huge LeBron fan as well but I can not stand the clowns like you. This was one game they played and I hate to bring this up but head to head "lebum" has won more than half of the matchups while averaging more points, assists, rebounds and a better feild goal percentage but Kobe leads for 3 point percentage by .3. Not bringing that up to hate on Kobe he is my idol and I would defend him if this was the other way around it just drives me crazy seeing people like you hating based off one games outcome and in general just enjoy both of these players greatness and if you like or think one is better than ok cool that's your opinion and I respect it but no need for the ignorant hating and slander. In my opinion they are both two of the best to ever lace them up and you don't have to hate on one just because you think the other is better. But hey the NBA wouldn't have the most toxic fanbase without the people like you.

Kobe the goat

Fool Lebron was the one jumping around the league

And he was very good at catching and shoot despite being a scorer with the ball mostly

He was never “open”

🥶🥶🥶

Yea. I can get behind that. MJ was just physically overpowering, he just flowed downhill and he had those huge hands to control the ball in midair...nobody will ever touch that. But Kobe got his in his own way by being very crafty and one step ahead of everyone as well as having a killer mid range j.

Skilled but lebron is stronger,faster and smarter than kobe..

​@@karlmichael1956kobe is smarter than lebron.

Dumb ahh. He was going up against the best player in the league and one of the greatest of all time.

Damn he somehow won more rings than LeBron doing it his way.

​@@koolkai4299with less fmvp, and he got less mvps 😂

that was a horrible shot

But kobe can't hit most of them

Courage means what??? LOL they lost, in fact he always lost to LeBron led teams so your point is invalid. Even in his 2 championships Pau was more clutch in the Finals both years and Metta saved him from a horrible 8-24 in game 7. Sometimes, it just makes sense to play the game the right way

Actually the job of a superstar is to get the best quality shot you possibly can

@@freightJames found a flaming bronsexual

It’s damn near the exact opposite

Shut up u nut

Lol if youre gonna use ws at least give kobe his credit in 01 he led the league in playoff win shares and ws/48.

Wow you really have nothing to do...

Yoo no one is comparing Kobe and LeBron. At this time tho, to me Kobe was a better scorer, and defender, but LeBron was a better playmaker and better rebounder. Kobe was slightly better than LeBron during 04 to 09, and 010. Once LeBron realized how to win , he was truly the best player. 2011 he was supposed to be, but choked. See how you have to wait till the end to really get the answer on who's a better player. Y'all can say LeBron was better during 2007 to 2010, but the truth is he wasn't because he didn't know how to win. He had the best record , but when it counted the most he couldn't produce? Because before you lead, you must follow! No one showed him how to win, there wasn't Phil to guide him. I'm sure he had someone who was a champion, but you need to build a culture and a champioship habits and no one brought that to him , and no one was ever there to show it. After LeBron lost, and finally learned how to win, and build that culture of nothing else matters , but the trophy, then he was a monster after that! He found the formula to be the truly best. I love Kobe to death, but I'ma laker fan! I don't really follow players , but Kobe would be my favorite. I hated LeBron, but the years when he's with the Lakers ,till now( 2021). I seen how amazing this man is, the game comes so easily to this guy!!! Like he is the chosen one!!!! There's nobody else blessed, I feel like god really chose him , because of the way he makes the game look, no one ever did that! Also with his abilities and physical structure, and a great role model. What else can you say? Im going to enjoy Lebron's final years, like I did with Kobe. I can truly say now that LeBron is better than Kobe in the way he can just play ball, but Kobe to me is a better scorer ( Shooting FG is overrated as long as your shooting high 40s in 2pts it's too close) and a better defender and the mamba will. What separates them is the way LeBron sees the game, don't get me wrong Kobe is a hell of a mind when it comes to basketball, but he was immature back in the day, and he was smart and knew how to really win , but he was to arrogant and to selfish( He could've won with Shaq against Detroit, but he wanted to prove that he could , can't blame him! No one wants that narrative of he won because if the other player, unless there truly better than you, And when he was scoring a lot when Shaq got traded, he didn't have anyone to trust! Shit those teams wasn't basketball championship material) I didn't blame him, the players he was surrounded with was crazy! This also is the difference, LeBron would win with Kobe's roster , idk if he can carry them to the best records in the seasons (Lakers roster was truly bad) but at this time LeBron would win a lot in the seasons and usually end up with the best record because it's just 1 game at a time and at a early age he was a better leader. Kobe was proving himself to Shaq and was obsessed with MJ, but when Lebron's teams plays a series , the best team always comes out, and he felt short, he's early roster wasn't built for a championship, and he had no one! You need at least 2 really dominant players to win. Once Phil came back Kobe finally could trust someone and D fish also, so the load got easier, and Kobe finally became a leader ,and finally could use all that genius of a basketball mind he had. , but just was to arrogant to change his ways , and that cost him. LeBron was built for basketball, he is to me the most blessed player ever. The plays he makes , the ability to see the play before it happens is really remarkable! There both great , and let's just be happy we seen them play because they were amazing. RIP to KOBE , Gianna and all the people that died. I will never forgett you Kobe ! The joy you bring to me the way when l the Lakers play would relax me for 2.5 hours!;I truly thank you! All the lesson I learned from watching you,

5 rings ! Shut up. 2 of those rings were teams Kobe beat that lebron could not

@@kerrybase8037 5 beats 4. 5 real rings beat 2 game 7s and 2 shortened seasons. Russell Westbrook had proven the holding the ball and build up your stats style doesn’t win. That’s why your man had all the stats but is literally 2 jump shots away from having 2 rings. His stats are empty and always been empty. 5 beats 4,3,2 and 1. ………… 81

Just stop it
