Kobe Bryant is retired.
Is Brooke Lopez or Pau Gasol a better scorer than Shaq because they're better at mid-range shots and have more range or does Shaq sheer efficiency and ability to get to the paint, at will, supersede their versatility?
If Lebron is GOAT-tier at getting to the lane and finishing while being able to do it more consistently and efficiently while being doubled or tripled (While also being played for his drive for 99% of his career) and being a more efficient three point shooter...what does that mean?
Scoring Versatility doesn't correlate to better when you're as dominant as Lebron/Shaq/Hakeem.
Lebron can score just as many, or more, points on less attempts because he's all but impossible to guard and keep from the lane. And our people still using this "He can't post BS"? Lebron has been dominating from the post for like 4 years straight. He pretty much requires an instant double team now.
Lebron is a better player than Kobe.
He's a better scorer than Kobe.
He's a better brand than Kobe.
He's a better human being than Kobe.
You Kobe stans are terrible with the way you insist on trying to keep his corny retired ass relevant.
If you had any integrity and kept it real you would have been an Iverson stan.
But yall aint built for the hood.

This.
Can't help but to feel like this thread was unnecessary. If you saw both play then you know what it is. No new discussion here, just the same tired bullshyt. Lowkey, I can see why nikkaz still disrespecting Kobe post retirement with all this rehash shyt. No need to bring up old shyt Kobe is a legend in the game. Step the posting game up and bring some new shyt to the table, the stan wars are over.
FIgures GSH would be dapping this two-timer,
Ain't lebron the one who scored 60 then claimed he was too tired after that game? And this was during his prime with Miami? Let's talk when lebron averages 40 a month. Since it's so easy for him
Ain't no. NBA player ever grown-up saying they wanted to be bron
Lebron is better than Timmy.He and Kobe are better than Tim Duncan, manu and tony Parker.
They won't hear you tho. Kobe has always been a better scorer than Lebron. Anyone who disputes that is a Kobe hater.
A lot people just like flip flopping. There was a time when Kobe was touted as being probably greater than MJ. And last season, folks were comparing Steph Curry to MJ. Notice how they change their tune this season.
