Are you serious? Kobe struggles against Lebron and has since his Cleveland days. Lebron who is completely focused on defense has shut down Melo, Kyrie, Parker, etc.
Lebron doesn't need fancy dribbles to get past Kobe, he's just gonna muscle him out the way and finish at the hoop. Kobe is gonna blow past Lebron when players like Parker, Rose, and the like can't?
Lebron is better than Kobe, breh.
If you're basing your argument on Lebron vs Kobe head to head then you should know that Melo owns Lebron head to head.
