Kobe in his prime was probably the GOAT perimeter offensive weapon behind MJ in the 80's..lockdown defender and had no bytch in his blood.
He won 2 rings back to back with Pau as his second best player. (He had made only 1 All Star Game before Kobe)
Took a lineup with Smush and Kwame Brown starting to the playoffs..IN THE WEST.
Averaged 35 ppg on better than 45% shooting
Had a much tougher road to the Finals in the late 00's against AI/Melo's Nuggets,Mavs..The Suns...Rockets and Prime Timmy Spurs.
Not to mention this dude just averaged 27,6,5 at 34-35 years old
Meanwhile Lebron just got spanked by the Spurs who might have been the better team but to lose in 5 and then let a 22 Kwahi Leonard shyt on your existence was icing on the overrated cake..he couldn't handle him.
Not to mention he was the 3rd leading scorer on his own team in the 2011 Finals and the sole reason they lost that series.
ESPN would love to forcefeed you this Lebron is this generations MJ bullshyt but fukk that
Prime Kobe>Lebron any day of the week.
