@@fahidali5809Kobe might have one more ring but bro Kobe started his career with a prime Shaq when he was an MVP candidate and nearly Unanimously Win MVP in 2000 And plus Lebron has 4 FMVP While Kobe got 2 FMVP meaning he wasn’t even the best player in the finals for 3 times and by ur logic is Bill Russell>Jordan ofc not so shut up and accept Lebron is better
Answer this question for me Would your rather A: pass the ball to a wide open remote that is in the paint for a layup Or B: take a contested fadeaway 3 with 3 people gaurding you? I’m basically saying what lebron does be what Kobe does. Kobe’s teammates hated him and feared him because if they didn’t they would get traded. Kobe’s attempt at being a dictator didn’t work at all too🤣
@@stebbiej Yeah I agree LeBron ain't lead the cavs to the finals multiple times and won it for them once he led his team to the finals 10 times lil bro
Not really, Kobe wasn't really utilized, until 1999, and got injured multiple times in the latter end of his career. While LeBron has only had one game spent on the bench and that was because he didn't want the crowd to boo Anderson Varejow can't spell his last name.
@@J.TooCrucial naaaa the floor is spread out for the offense now back in the day when Kobe was first coming up that was not the case, So Kobe got 5 chips 33 thousand points and dominated some of the best of the best
well uh listen listen hear me out here HEAR ME OUT, LeBron gets scoring and 3pt shooting because LeBron has made more threes and has a better percentage and NOW is a better scorer because 1st all time and plus they both had 20 seasons together so in my opinion LeBron is better.
@@1980aaaaaa buddy I don’t give a fuck you don’t see LeBron pulling up from 35 feet and hitting fade away three every fucking game go and watch Kobe’s highlights you’ll be like what the fuck
LeBron nearly has twice of his assists. LeBron knows better when to shoot or pass because he has better IQ while Kobe just shoots or passes when he wants to
no, lebron beats kobe in almost every single statistical and game stat in the nba. Only thing kobe wins is maybe defense and handles but thats it. Although lebron does have higher defensive win shares and young brons handles were something else
Like I don’t understand how people don’t understand that numbers don’t matter for shit then Bill Russell is the goat then because he has nine rings. Like dude, Kevin Love has the same three-point percentage as Larry bird yeah Kevin love is top five greatest three-pointers of all times bro ain’t no fucking way numbers lie
@Reid James kobe absolutely did not lead the 2000-2002 lakers. shaq at the time was absolutely unstoppable and was undoubtedly playing better than than him (which is why shaq, instead of kobe, won three fmvps). i get that lebron did have help at some stages in his career, but none of them were top 10 players of all time, and especially none of them were better than him on the team he played on. and it's not like kobe didn't get help either. pau gasol, kwame brown, ron artest, were all promising players, and although they weren't as good as say, wade, their primes were already fading away behind them, with lebron being the clear leader. also kyrie left in 2018 yet lebron still made the finals then.
Kobe was a worldwide icon. Especially in Asia. Probably the most popular basketball player of all time honestly. Look at the amount of times Kobe is mentioned in any rap song compared to other athletes.
@@Latino_mamba03 You just said the most popular basketball player of all time y’all Kobe fanboys are the most bias ever saying he the 🐐 you diminish Lebron and MJ
They had that totally wrong. Kobe plays way better defense, better shooter better handle and has the same level IQ as Lebron stop it. Only thing he has is rebounding and assist over Kobe that’s the only thing he does better outside of that he doesn’t matchup at all to Kobe Bryant
It's tough playing both ends of the court and actually going against the other teams best player..😂😂😂😂 something LeBron has avoided all his career..12 time 12 time all defensive
Lmao, handles? I don't care what year LeBron you pick or how much you exaggerate his abilities. Never in his career did he have handles that could match Kobe let alone surpass him.
No it's not u casual, LeBron has the most Basketball IQ ever, Kobe's IQ isn't even top 10 ever, Steve Nash, CP3, Kidd and so many more have a higher IQ than Kobe.
@@korver_ ? Kobe would chuck the ball when 3 guys were on him, and his teamates would be wide open too, again LeBron has the most basketball IQ ever, guys lioe Steve Nash, CP3, Magic, and so many more have a higher IQ than Kobe lol.
how is scoring kobe when lebron is the all.time scoring leader lol and i think impact both of them are tie.Michael jordan,lebron and kobe are literally the most famous basketball player ever in the history
Handles? 3 point shooting? Clutch??? Don't flop?? Can win without many super teams?? Don't include him self to goats?? Humble but dangerous?? That's 8/24
