Prime Kobe or Current Lebron

[Ben.]

It's not bias if you've seen them both play.

Kobe's only close to Jordan with regards to talent/skill level. The few things he lack are accolades and slightly better decision making. Aside from that Kobe is one of the greatest weapons the sport has ever seen. LeBron is great, but Prime Kobe would've ate his lunch.

You can still be bias watching both play

Bean was unstoppable in 06
The left hand 3pt against terry in the corner


I went out to the Y the next day attempting that shot

That was in 05, but 03 Kobe was better than the 06 version. Better shooter, better defender, more athletic, better slasher and slightly more dominant. 06 Kobe just had more of a green light to score.

Breh, if LeBron was truly better I'd admit it. Jordan is the only nikka fukkin with Prime Kobe.

this is truth right here. I mean, when you really really take a look back, the East was just as strong a conference as the West back then. Maybe even tougher.

Well that's just not true at all. You might wanna go back and look at those teams and rosters from the mid-2000s. The West as been better than the East since the Bulls last 3 peat

lol, if that's what he says I'll go with it tat makes sense anyway since he was in his mid 20s. 06 was his peak as an individual player.

03 was his best year

Wow, this has turned into the Kobe stan appreciation thread, full of "remember whens" and "nobody's fukking wit him"s...time to bail.

It's a lot of years you can name. 01 was a great year for Kobe.

It's true, whenever Kobe has to carry a team by himself it's been awful and he ends up wanting to be traded. Lebron takes Gibson and Gooden to the finals. As far as actual team impact Lebron is better. You guys are in awe of Kobe's offensive prowess...that doesn't lead to wins.

PG - Smush Parker (Out of the League by age 26.)
SF - Luke Walton
PF - Lamar Odom (Best player Kobe played with in the mid 2000's. Very inconsistent. One Day he'll give you 14/10, the next 3/4. You couldn't rely on him for shyt.)
C - Kwame Brown/Chris Mihm

You really expect that team to go anywhere? Are you really this fukking stupid? Not to mention Kobe was playing in the Western Conference.

The year Lebron's Cavs went to finals. They faced a 41 win Wizards team without Arenas and Butler, in the second round the played a 41 win Nets and in the ECF they faced a Pistons team with a one leg Chris Webber as their starting center. If that Cavs team had played in the West its highly unlikely they would have gotten past the first round. The Cavs getting swept by a Western team in the finals proves that.

Your argument is weak.

01 he officially became top 5 and stayed there until 11-12


but 03 kobe would beat any other version of kobe 1 on 1
