Prime Kobe or Current Lebron

[Kaypain]

Like I said before nobody I repeat nobody will ever be Jordan. Jordans legacy is beyond stats and rings. Kobe is a wannabe Jordan... Lebron never tried to play like Jordan or be him. Besides wearing his number. So let's leave out Jordan.

That went to two NBA finals, 1 embarrassing Kobe and the Lakers and four straight Eastern Conference finals. Lebron and the Cavs had no business beating them. Prime Lamar would of been the best player Lebron played with if he was on the Cavs and he still lead them to 50 & 60 win seasons etc.

Kobe has never shown you could build a team around him alone, he needs to be on teams where he's only expected to be a scorer that's when he's at his best. With Lebron I know they'll be good initially (even if they're mediocre) I just have to find another piece to put them over the top for the chip.

How is this even a debate anymore? Only simple-minded fools and casual fans would pick Kobe over LeBron.

Kobe was just a bootleg MJ, LeBron is a player the NBA has never seen before.

Anyway, how many times are y'all nikkas going to discuss the same thing over and over again?

Im taking a prime Kobe.

Kobe would have made sure Chris Bosh's ass was in the post, not turn him into Jason Kapono. He would have been another Pau for him.

Prime Kobe would have ignored Bosh playing good in the '11 Finals and shot his team out of the series

bootleg GOAT still damn good and definitely better than Bron. hilarious how tryin to be like mike is considered a bad thing when thats what an entire generation tried to do. don't be mad that kobe was just better at it than everyone else. and don't act like bron didn't wanna be like mike. he came into the league wearing #23. he just never had the skills or footwork to do what mike did.

I don't understand why people think Prime Kobe was an inherent ballhog. Do yall not realize that the team was absolutely terrible and needed him to carry the offensive load? If he had a cast that could help him carry the offense he could use his energy in other areas like defense and playmaking. That's why it's so criminal that Kobe didn't play on a contender in his more prolific years we were robbed of historic finals performances and imo I think people's hate for Kobe wouldn't be as deep as it is now. Timing is everything and it was all bad for Kobe, funny how he still managed all this success tho.

I'm going with prime Kobe for his actual basketball skills. Lebron is the better athlete(faster, stronger, jump higher) but not a better basketball player skills wise than prime Kobe.

That's it right there.He was the only one skilled enough to pull it off.

I would take Kobe any day...period...without question.

• clutch/great shooter
  
• creative player/intelligent moves on the court
• loyal to his team/organization
• 5 rings
• not afraid to speak his mind/doesn't "try" to always sound politically correct

smh @ people having a problem and saying he's a ball hog. He's reliable cause he's more likely to make the shots over anyone else. I'm sure his teammates didn't have a problem with him being a "ball hog" when they won their rings thanks to him (not saying that they didn't contribute...bball is a team sport, but at the end of the day, the team has to just do what works and if passing to Kobe guaranteed a win, then what's the problem?). Thanks to Kobe, Walton was able to get 2 rings (just like people's boy LeBron lol).

Seriously though, if the formula works, then leave it. 2 years ago, when they asked Kobe to help with assists, he did...he took less shots & passed more...he's not opposed to switching up his style when required.

I'll always give Lebron the nod because I think he's better all-around player while still being an elite scorer. He's consistently dominant and he scores slightly less than Kobe on higher efficiency while usually having a better A/T ratio and being a better rebounder.

All-around impact means more to me than scoring. It's why I'd take Stockton over Nash, Prime Kidd over Iverson, PG over Melo, etc.

Lebron was putting up prime Kobe numbers his 3rd year in the league. 31.4 on 48%.

May Allah guide either Kobe or Lebron to Islam.
