NBA legends discuss LeBrons legacy, Kobe says LeBron has no excuses, needs to be a better leader

[T.he I.nformant]

I respect your views.. it’s all subjective at the end of the day. I actually like bron to keep it real, i just hate how ppl gotta downplay Kobe to prop him up. I hooped until college so watching Kobe do the shyt he’s done as a player & the skill it took to do it was unreal. I don’t see that type of shyt from bron.. his game is rather simple but that’s just me he’ll always get you in a position to win though. If by any chance he comes to the Lakers then this shyt will only intensify. I’ll just sit back & watch lol

Yeah, I feel like that downplaying one guy to prop up another guy is a classic feature of the “who’s better” argument. I think there are fans of both Kobe and Bron who are guilty of this. shyt, you kind of just did it saying Bron’s game is “rather simple” compared to the skill of Kobe’s game which you label “unreal.” If Bron goes to LA the stan wars will be so intense. And can you just imagine if he somehow manages to lead the Lakers to a chip. LWO won’t know how to respond.

Kobe’s has criticized some of almost everyone he could think of.yall acting like it’s specific to Lebron. This is just Kobe

I did no such thing lol but nah I root for the name on the front of the jersey, not the back so if he came & brought another to LA then I’ll be estatic.. I honestly don’t see him comin to the Lakers though, it’ll just be weird.. Clippers maybe?

What was Kobe's excuse when he got swept by the Mavs in 2011? Portland got 2 games, OKC got one game and the Heat got 2.

Injury dumbass. His knee was bone-on-bone at this point. But you already knew this.

that houston team is better than the cavs team outside of lebron.

1. cp3 is an elite 2 way player which means he occupied curry on both ends w.o needing double team help. Even kyrie couldn't do that because he's a one way player

2. houston has more athleticism than the cavs.


3. harden playing like sh1t (all they big plays were made by cp3) and houston still taking them 7 is all you need to know. lebron scored 50 and the game was still close

So they're historically great/ unbeatable just because lebrons team couldn't beat them

Kobe was old and washed up in 2011.

I've been very consistent that Kobe Bryant was the best player in the NBA from 2001-2010. His last prime year was 2009. He was swept in 2011 cause he simply wasn't as good as he used to be anymore. I have no excuse for his performance. He wasn't very good and was not the player I viewed as the best in the league anymore.

We saw a slight rebirth for Kobe in 2012-13 after he got the treatment for his knee in Germany. But that year was a mirage like LeBron's season this year. Kobe like LeBron was no longer playing great defense because he was conserving most of his energy for offense. Thus he was not as impactful to winning as he was in his prime even though the box score stats looked as good as his prime.

Once again I don't make excuses for Kobe's performance like the Bron stans. In 2011, Kobe Bryant was not the same player he was in his prime. PERIOD.

And this is the biggest difference between Lebron fans and Kobe fans. As a Kobe fan I cant fault Kobe for some of the shyt he did. Was he a shytty leader at times? Yes. Did he has some really shytty shooting performances? Yes. But I can admit that.

Lebron fans refuse to admit when lebron does anything negative. They go into full excuse juelz gif mood. Like damn that nikka is too good for his stans to cop pleas after every L he takes
