Didn't seem to have much trouble guarding himFOUL
Agree but Bron has a jumper along with better speed and the same defense intensity as Kobe. bean has the skill set but I honestly cannot see how he could best LeBron one on oneLeBron has no one on one moves dudes. Honestly he would get exposed so bad in a one on one game. Players know but fans don't.
LeBron is like that big dude who's always in the gym but can't throw them hands in a fight.
That's cause LeBron gets most of his points in transition and on cheap plays. Kobe gets his points in one on one situations where he's beating his man.
If LeBron scores 10 of his 35 in transition, you don't feel quite as bad as having Kobe score all 35 of his points on you one on one in the half-court.
The officiating in the last month that gifted them that playoff spot was the worst I've ever seen.That team barely made the playoffs![]()
Lebron has the 6th most frequent isolation attempts in the league. The fukk are you talking about? He isos slightly less than Kyrie.
Calling for a screen every play don't make you an iso player. LeBron is dependent on screens to get off.

Try watching some games.
The other major reason LeBron doesn't get as much respect from his peers as Kobe is the fact he needs screens to get off. Kobe rarely used screens. He mostly attacked dudes one on one in isolation. LeBron needs pick n rolls to get off and he's also more passive and relies on his teammates to give him space to get into the paint. If LeBron ain't passing his game suffers cause defenses can collapse on his drives.
Kobe is the complete opposite. He can dominate regardless of the performance on his teammates. He also is not reliant on picks to score offensively. This is a major reason the players give him the respect he gets. Its alot harder to dominate the game without the help of screen and pick n rolls than it is to do so. Plus Kobe's overall skill level is much higher than LeBron's. LeBron is more physical freak while Kobe is a skilled assassin.
So it doesn't matter how good lebron may potentially play in this upcoming series I if his TEAM losses you'll rank him lower despite his individual dominance
